CASPER'S COURTHOUSE
STRIKE CALLED OFF

Natrona county has been having
some exciting times in her county
house. owing to a strike made re-
Gently by clerks and other employees
OF the county. The decision of the
county commissioners to permit the
payment of overtime no longer, and
the cutting of the salaries Of depu-
ties down to the amount allowed by
law was the thing which precipitated
the trouble.
From different articles in Casper
papers the information is cleaned
that h strike of deputies had the
endorsement of the county officials
who also suffered a "cut" in their
overtime, n wished to have their
employees fight the battle for them.
result of the fight has been
that the offices nave been filed with
many of the old employees coming
back at h reduced wage, and b.
many new employees who are ticklod
to death to get the employment. A
delegation of county officers have
gone to Cheyenne as Natrona conn
tvs third delegation to lobby for
a bill which will increase the al
aries of county officers in a county
the size of Natrona.

CONTRACT LAMBS
AT HIGH PRICE

That the sheepmen are coming
into their own is evidenced again in
the activities of Colorado feeders,
who are contracting for the pur-
chase of Sweetwater and Lincoln
county lambs, and are paying 12c,
the highest price since the years of
the war when everything was at it's
peak price. This contract price in
cludes an advance Immediately of
81 cents for each lamb, and an ad-
ditional advance payment of so cents
per lamb at docking time, the bal
ance to be paid for on delivery in
the fall.
Rasmussen Bros. of Rock Springs
and VIM. Davidson of Opal, CON
tracted for the purchase of their
lambs on this basis.
The highest price paid last year
was IL cents.

EXTENSION IN TIME FOR
FILING INCOME RETURNS

A statement issued by Collector
M. S. Reynolds calls the attention
of the public to the Revenue act of
1924 relative to authority to grant
extensions in case of income tax re-
turns.
The collector advises there will
probably be a number of taxpayers
who will make applications to the
collectors office for an extension of
time in which to file his income re-
turn, too late for such application
to be transmitted to the commission
er for action.
Section 22-A of the revenue act
provides that the commissioner may
grant a reasonable extension of time
for filing income tax returns, if ap-
plication therefore is made before
the date prescribed by law for fill
ing the return, 1t being understood
that the commissioner will not grant
such extension unless the necessity
therefore is shown.
The collector believes that it is
important that he invite the atten-
ton of the general public to the
fact that under the act of
1924 the collector does not have au-
thority to grant extensions to the
taxpayer in the case of filing income
tax returns.

CODY FORD SERVICE
MADE LINCOLN SERVICE
STATION FOR BASIN

H. w. Thurston, Inc, of Cody
a been designated as the distri-
buting agency for Lincoln cars of
the entire Big Horn basin, and as
such will maintain a service depart
ment for Lincoln cars in the Ford
garage. 1t necessitates the employ
ment of an expert mechanic for
Lincoln car service.
The purpose of the establishment
of an authorized service station in
the Basin is in view of the fact
it would be prohibitive for
each of the small towns of the Basin
to furnish a service such as this.
BY the appointment of the local
garage as ar authorized service
station, cars will come here from
all parts of the Basin for inspection
and care, and the local garage is
under contract to keep a mechanic
for this work who has taken special
work at the Lincoln factory and is
well qualified in every way to look
Lincoln cars.

granted probably the largest judg-
ment which has ever been granted
in the district court of Park county
last week when Judge Metz heard

ceedings on the Simpson property

judgment which was given Mr.. Chap

W. G. BROUGH HOME
BURNS ON PAINT CRK,

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G,
Brough on Paint creek was de-
stroyed by fire on Monday of last
week. The fire started while Mrs,
Brough was visiting a daughter at
the Head ranch and Mr.. Brough
was down to a nearby ranch feeding
his stock. 1t occurred during a high
wind, and the entire property, con
sisting of residence, barn and sew
eral smaller sheds, were burned in
a very short time. The fire is
thought to have originated from a
bad flu or a burning coal which
may have popped out on the floor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brough have been
residents of the Paint creek section
a number of years. They have
grown old in the work of bringing
their ranch to a high state of cul-
tivation. gathering around them but
little of the worlds goods. In the
fire they lose practically everything.
All their clothes, household furn-
ishings, and a little money which
a been saved by them and kept
in the home.
Their many friends have come
to their rescue and they are now
located on their old place, now
known as the Reynolds ranch, a
short distance down the creek from
their home ranch

KANE AND HOOKER
RECEIVE new BUS

Perhaps no town in Wyoming has
in service a finer bus line than is
now operated by Kane & Hooker
placing into service this week of
their new Studebaker Coach, which
accommodates IL to Is passengers,
and makes the trip to the station
as enjoyable as travelling in a Pull
man. Kane and Hooker had their
new equipment ordered early last
fall, but with the great amount of
work which vas necessary to outfit
the body for the car. it has taken
several months to make delivery.
Messrs. Hooker and Ned Frost brot
it down from Billings today and it
will be placed in service Immediate
ly between Cody and the station.
The coach is built on a big
6" Studebaker chassis, with ample
power to negotiate any and all of
the grades which will be encountered
in this mountainous country. Every
consideration has been given to the
comfort and safety of those who
will use it. The upholstering is of
the highest type, of real leather.
big wide seats made for comfort.
1t is entirely closed, with all the
advantages of the high priced sedan
automobiles, each large plate glass
window being a unit can be closed
and opened as the passenger de-
sires. On the rear is an enclosed
compartment for the care of bags
and suitcases, where they are pro-
tected from the water, mud or
dust, whichever it be.
Messrs. Kane and Hooker are to
be complimented on placing an
equipment such as this at the dis
posal of the travelling public. 1t
represents the last word in motor
a construction and will meet with
the hearty approval of those who
recognize comfort and performance
in motor transportation.

Gas for Cody
The delivery of gas to Cody would
mean much to the town. AS a fuel
for domestic purposes it has no
practical equal and the business peo-
pie of the town are anxious to know
the final decision of the Ohio Of
hcials. Several years ago this COM
pany was granted a franchise, but
failed to get the gas which they had
planned to bring to Cody. At that
time an official stated that they
would not seek a renewal of the
franchise until they had the gas.
Now that they have a well which is
estimated adequate for a town many
times the size of Cody, it is hoped
that they will seek another fran
chise and bring the commodity to
town.
