PENSION BILL PROVIDES
INCREASE WAR PENSION
Spanish American War Veterans to
Receive Substantial Increase in
Government Checks

The Fourth of July this year will
mean added cause for celebration
to 305 Wyoming families receiving
Spanish War pensions according to
figures compiled under the direction
of Congressman Charles E.. Winter.
On that date should be received the
first checks ~evidencing the auto
matte increase effective June 4.
Congressman Winters list of sos
names does not include several cas-
es he has pending. Every county
in Wyoming is represented. OF these
IA are residents of Park county.
Wyoming's only member of the
House of Representatives has been
receiving a great many inquiries
relative to the increase. He has
just had printed additional copies
of the summary of the law mailing
them to those on his list. The
increase is Sc 2-3 per cent for vet
Grams and SO percent for their de-
pendents. A soldier now receiving
$12 per month and 81 additional
for a child will receive $40 and
Sc additional on July fourth. s35,-
600 additional to Wyoming veter-
ans the first year is estimated.
In his letter Judge Winter on
graduates these families upon the
unanimous passage of the bill by
Congress. 1t is a complete recog-
milton by the entire country, at
last, he said, of the splendid service
rendered the nation by those men
in the War with Spain, the Philip
pine Instruction and the China
Relief Expedition, establishing the
United States as a world power.
He asked to be advised of n
persons not receiving the full bene-
fits to which they are entitled I'M
der the laws for the relief of vet
Grams and dependents of all wars.
He has assisted in a considerable
number of difficult cases of merit.

JUDGE RINER HEARS
LOOMS CASE TUESDAY

The evidence presented at the
w. H. LOOMS removal action, when
Mr.. Loomis was impeached and re-
moved from the office of sheriff of
Park County, was rehashed in court
Tuesday before Judge Riner, sitting
in quo warranto proceedings filed
against Sheriff Henry Dahlem by
the deposed officer. The case con-
sumed much of the. day, and nee
essitated the calling of many
witnesses, most of whom hold Of
ficial positions in the county, and
testified in a more or less technical
way.
Judge Riner has not as yet rem
dered a decision. and it is not
likely that he will do SO for a few
days. Mr.. Dahlem was represented
by Attorneys Greever and Goppert,
and Mr.. Loomis by Attorney C. j.
Bronze of Basin.

With the announcement h a Sy1-
van was cleared of snow, the Ever
ingham Construction company which
has a $4,000 road contract in Sho-
shone canyon suspended operations
to an extent, and have opened the
Canyon road to tourist travel. The
project is still but partially COM
pleted, but was handled in such a
manner hat it would not interfere
with the 1926 travel. The roadway
is being smoothed this week, and
before the tenth of June will be in
excellent condition for travel. The
road work has been suspended in
the big tunnel, and the
construction will go orward TINS
summer in such a way as not TO
interfere with travel.
1t is due to a light snowfall in
the mountains hat Sylvan Pass
is open to travel at this unprece-
Ndented date. Usually thirty to forty
feet OF snow may be found there
early in June, and it is only with
the aid of explosives and road crews
that the Pass is open for travel
by June goth, and many years the
opening date has extended to july.
This year, due to the light snow
fall coupled with an advanced sea-
son, little work has been necessary
to open the Pass by June LIST.
The park will not formally open
until June 18th, at which time the
Park Transportation will start to
operate buses for railroad tourists,
and the hotels and camps will be-
gin to operate at hat time. How
ever, the stores and gasoline sta
lions are operative at the present
time, and limited accommodations
may be secured at some of the
camps. Reports are to the effect
that hundreds of cars are already
fin Yellowstone and the natures
wonderland is a regular beehive of
activity.
1t is needless to add that the bear
are all out of their dens, the elk
and deer back on their summer
range, the trout biting with equal
alacrity and the geysers function
ing with the same energy and grace
fuIlness as in former years.
