John J. ("Cyclone Johnny") Burndgeon, we'll known local character who left here Friday for the Forty-Nine properrs, with the expectation of return ling within 8 day or two, has Inot been heard from since leaving the Spider Group Sat lurday on his way back to town, and grave fears are felt for his safety.
 The district is wild and rug ged with several glacial spurs to cross and it is surmised that the missing man may have fall- en into a crevisse or sustained Iincapaciating injuries which prevented him reaching one of the few habitations in that sec tion north of the B. c. Silver.
 This fear is enhanced by the knowledge that Burndgeon is Iof a reckless disposition and will, in the words of friends, take g chance at anything. '" Further increasing belief that he may have met disaster, is the fact that he was com missioned to bring in a number of samples of ore from the Spi- der Group, for shipment to the outside on the Sunday boat. This he is said to have given his promise to do at the time he was paid for the service.
 Efforts to locate the missing man will be started Wednes- day, when Ernest Bryson and others will leave to. go over the trail.

PREMIER INTERESTED
 IN RIVERSIDE

Rumors that the Premier is negotiating for the purchase of the Riverside mine continue to be a theme for popular dis cussion. Although no confirm ation of the reports can be ob- tained, evidences are not want ling that the Premier company, if not engaged in active ne- gotiations, has at least made tentative offers in that direct ion. Reports of the presence on
 the property of g Premier sampling crew during the past two weeks are now amply con- firmed and leave little doubt that the big mining company
 is either investigating on the
 strength of a big offer made
 by the present owners or is preparing to make 8 bid on it's
 own behalf. However, no def mite information can be, glean-
 ed from the officials of either
 company and the future of the splendid property is still no clearer defined to the public
 gaze than at the time of the
 shutdown several weeks ago, following the visit of Jas. l..
 Freeburn, former owner of the Chichigoff mine, who was al-
 so reported negotiating for the
 mine.

Stewards new steam laundry, of which J. P. Hawkinson is the projector, is rapidly near ing completion and is expect ed to be in operation within a few weeks.
 Efforts are being made by To- cal interests to induce the es- tabhshment of a steam laun- dry in Hyder, which appears to present a favorable field for an institution of that charact- CT, inasmuch as the town sup plies the. Ketchikan steam laundry with close to three thousand dollars worth of busi- ness a year according to reli- able information.

 Plans for Col. Steese's recept- ion were also discussed but ow- ing to the shortness of his stay and the prospect that he will be very busy, no elaborate re ception plans have been made. He will be the luncheon guest of the Chamber at the Ideal Cafe but all other preparations of the committee are more ol less tentative.
 If time permits Col. Steese will be taken up the river by the committee so that he may realize the flood possibilities by personal inspection.

The May day dance given by the Baseball Club for the pur- pose of raising funds to finance the team was the best attend ed and most successful dance held in the Pioneer Hall for a local benefit in many months.
 The orchestra from the Pre- mier relieved by MT. Arthur Sharpe, at the piano during supper, gave it's services as an assistance toward the fund and the music was keenly enjoyed by all. Stanley Alton presided at the piano and brought out a volume and variety of tones which the old music box was never known to contain. Geo. Arseneau was in his element among the flies, cmybals, bones, whistles and drums; :; while Ernie Hammond, "s. pickin' on the ol' banjo," sang melodious accompani- ment, much to the amusement and delight of the dancers. Steve Watson added to the pleasure of the evening with his artful manipulation of the violin. MT. Watson also made himself quite popular in bring ing along Miss Peggy Watson, his charming daughter. Much credit is due the orchestra for making the evening the finan- cial success that it proved tt be and the Baseball Club takes this opportunity to express it's thanks through the press.
 The ladies of Hyder very kindly donated a delectable array of sandwiches and cakes and the merchants and restaur ants were more than generous in their response to the appeal for coffee and relishes. The spirit of cooperation displayed by everyone was a great en- couragement to the committee which had the work of gather ing food supplies, and the Baseball Club extends it's thanks to all who so kindly helped to make the dance a success.
 Thanks are here given to MT. Edgar Provinse, Holger John son, Felix Seppi, and Ernie Bryson for their part in donat- ing the transportation facili- ties. Walter Blanton, ye genial host at the Silver Grill, was the caterer, and Max Behrmann, of the Ideal Cafe, steamed up his twin screw kitchen range for the express purpose of brewink the coffee in the mid dle of the night and are also extended the thanks of the Club.

HELMERS ENGINEERS INVESTIGATING POWER
 PLANT POSSIBILITIES

Messrs. D. s. Helmich and R, II. McCulloh, consulting engi- neers for the Seims, Helmers and Schaffner Co.,, arrived Sunday from Minneapolis for the purpose of conducting an extensive survey of the power development possibilities of the Soule Glacier Creek water power which will provide the basis for such future develop ment activities as may be un- dertaken by the Helmers in- terests in connection with that project.
 MT. Helmich is business as sociate of Mir. R. D. Thomas, of noted mid-western hydro-elec- tric engineer, while MT. Nc Culloh is an employee of the firm. Both are experts in hy- dro-electric power develop ment work.
 The arrival of the two engin- eers was totally unexpected by those interested in the pow CT proposal. No word of their coming had been received, al- though they say a telegram was sent from Minneapolis some days ago announcing their contemplated visit.
 Beyond stating that Mr. Nc Culloh and himself are here to conduct g survey of the pow CT site which will cover every technical and engineering feat ure of water supply, storage possibilities, dam and plant construction, etc, which will be used by the Helmers inter ests as the basis for future con- sideration of the power devel- opment proposal, Mr. Helmich could give no information re- garding the company's con temptations.
 Before leaving for Soule Glac- fer River Monday, MT. Helmich said the survey will require several weeks to complete.
 As it is now definitely known that the Helmers interests have not secured a contract for supplying power to the Premier mine, the proposed plant will necessarily have to depend on other activities for its support for some time to come, Confronted thus with the prospect of much smaller revenues than were anticipat- ed, it appears that the future connection of the Helmers company with the project will depend much upon the cost of installing and maintaining the plant. This cannot be deter mined until the completion of an exhaustive survey and the final working out of the vari- ous engineering problems in- volved in the undertaking.

Cattle Rustling in
Old Days Recalled
Zane Grey Picture

To get the most accurate details
and color for a cattle-rustling Sc
quence in the latest Zane Grey pro-
d%uction, THE Light of Western
Stars William X. Howard, director,
spent ten days investigating the facts
and going over the ground of the
last big cattle-rustling incident in
southern Arizona.
The locale o: this incident was in
Pima county. but Howard adapted
the information he obtained to the
''sowari" cactus land that skirts the
Superstition Mountains, which serves
as a background for the new Para
mount western. In the story. Noah
Berry, an outlaw chief, and his band
of d~esperadoes raid a ranch and
drive off a herd of cattle.
Southern Arizona, today. the Para
mount director learned, is free of
the cattle-rustling bandits that used
to run off fortunes on the hoof."
The country has been built up and
there is considerable highway travel.
An occasional COW or two is stolen
but it is no longer possible to run
off a herd of fifty, a hundred or
two hundred head. The cattlemen
have their protective associations.
Then, too, the border is vigilantly
guarded.
In THE Light of Western Stars
is shown the final desperate struggle
between the border outlaws and the
forces of law and order. Jack Holt,
Noah Beery and Billie Dove portray
the principal roles.
The Light of Western Stars is
being shown at the Strand Theatre
for two nights, August 4th and 9Th.
The admission has been announced al
20 cents for children and 40 cents
for adults.

Sunday Afternoon

A baseball game has been schedul-

the Consolidated Transportation Co.
team. representing Rawlins, at the
rodeo grounds in this city neX Sun
day afternoon. The game has been
called for two-thirty in the after
noe and the pirce of admission
will be so cents.
The Parco Oil Cans have been play
ing the strongest teams in southern
Wyoming and have lost very few
games out of the number played.
The Consolidated Transportation Co.
team has been only recently organ
lied but 1t harbors some good play
ers as was shown by the game with
Dimes last Sunday. The Dimes team
beat the Oil Cans during the earlier
part OF July and Rawlins beat Dimes
on Sunday last-which means that
the game this coming Sunday should
be a dandy.

Clever Comedy, "The
Show Off" is Coming
to Strand August II

Rawlins is to be visited by one of
the very fine New York comedy COM
panies, which will appear at the
Strand Theatre on Wednesday night,
August 18th. Stewart and French.
the well known firm of theatrical
producers, are sending their biggest
laughing hit to Rawlins, namely The
Show orr, a comedy which attained
a run of more than two years in New
York City, and which has been per-
formed on the Pacific Coast for the
past few weeks.
The Show on" is a hilarious COM
edy, which has as its funniest figure,
young Aubrey Piper, a typical small
town blowhard, who is constantly
showing off for the benefit of those
who don't know him. This Smart
Alec wears loud store clothes; has a
red ]carnation ever in his buttonhole;
carries a dapper little cane. and pre-
tends that he is a man OF big affairs.
He believes 1t, too, and finally gets
away with his gigantic bluff, and
helps make his family a fortune, sole
ly by butting in where he has no bus
mess to be.
Clever young Hobart C~avanaugh,
well known along Broadway, will be

BALLOON TIRES On FORDS
ARE EXCEEDINGLY POPULAR

One of the most interesting Illus
trations of the popularity of balloon
tires is revealed in figures just given
out by the Ford Motor showing how
Ford car owners have accepted these
tires.
About the middle of February the
company announced that it would
provide balloon tires as optional
equipment on all new Ford cars at
small additional cost and would also
provide balloon tire wheels for own
ers who wished to change over to
the new equipment.
Simultaneously dealers were re-
quested to furnish estimates as to the
number of new cars they would re-
quire with balloon equipment. I'm
der these estimates 90 per cent of
the cars produced during the first
month were equipped with balloons.
Requirements for this kind of
equipment Immediately began to in
crease until in May more than 60
per cent of the new car production
was equipped with ballon tires with
every indication that the percentage
for June would be even higher.
In connection with the use of bal
loon tires the company has checked
thoroughly into the matter of correct
initiation and recommends the follow
ing table for the guidance of Ford car
owners.

LAMB BUYERS
PAY II N
CASPER LAMBS

That Carbon county woolgrowers
who have refused to sell their 1925
lambs for less than IL cents per
pound are justified in their stand is
shown from the following article pub
lished in a recent issue of the Cas-
per Tribune.
Proof thai the sheep and wool in
dustry of Wyoming will continue on
the high road to prosperity for an
other year is contained in recent
sales of lambs and the activity of
wool buyers. Bishop and Son of
Casper this week sold 1000 lambs
of this years crop at - cents while
wool buyers are sounding out grow
ers on contracts for next years clip
at prices in excess of those paid last
year.
Prices being paid for lambs not
contracted last winter are consider
ed an excellent indicator of the mar
ket trend. Earlier in the summer it
had been rumored hat some con
tracts signed by feeders and other
purchasers at 121a cents might be
abrogated by the purchasers through
the surrender of the 81 a head paid
down at the time contracts We're
signed. Now it appears certain that
all lambs bought on contract will be
delivered without controversy.
Although no information is avail
able that contracts for next years
wool clips have been negotiated, one
we'll known Casper grower stated
that he had refused an offer of 43
cents a pound and it is reported that
offers have ranged as high as As
cents. The early buying movement
here is attributed to bullish tenden-
cies uncovered by the recent London
wool auctions and maintenance at
Boston of steady demand and firm
prices.
These developments will bring OPP
timism to the annual convention of
the Wyoming Wool Growers associa-
ton at Buffalo, Wyo., on July 20,
80 and 81.
Plans have been completed to make
the convention the most eventful in
the history of Wyoming. " question
of paramount Importance to the
, sheepmen will be discussed and a
campaign formulated to oppose the
bureaucratic control by the govern
ment of the public domain.
Thomas Cooper of Casper, chair
man of the state Wool Growers com
mittee on public lands, will speak
against the encroachment of the gov
eminent in the public domain. Secre,
tary Work of the Interior Depart,
