ATTRACTIVE RATES
FOR STATE FAIR

The lowest rates ever given for
the Wyoming State Fair will be in
effect this year.. The western Pas
senger Association in a recent meet
ing in Chicago granted a rate of
a cent and a quarter per mile each
way for the Fair, good from all
points in Wyoming. This is one
third of the regular fare and will
undoubtedly make for an increased
attendance. This rate is in addi-
ton to the regular fare and a third.
The latter rate carrying a longer
time limit. The low rate will have
a one day limit for nearby points
with a two day limit for longer
distances.
Indications are that the Fair this
year will be the most successful
in the history of the organization.
The exhibits of livestock and agri-
culture will be especially large and
the Industrial building will be fill
ed with the most attractive display
ever seen at the Fair.
The amusement program will be
of a high character, with the fourth
United States Cavalry, the best
Rodeo in the Country and the
Thearle-Duffield Fire Works Spect-
acle 1776 for the top line features.
Among the novel features this
year will be the Old Time Ffddlers
Contest which will take place on
Friday. Attractive prizes are given
for this event and it is expected to
bring out most of the fiddlers OF
the pioneer days. The Old Timers
meeting which is going to be an
exceptionally interesting feature OF
the Fair will be held on Wednes-
day.

tracted his attention. Using a small
spade which he carried on his au-
tomobile, Arthaloney worked sew
eral hours, his labor resulting in
unearthing the entire fossil from
the huge fat head to the tip of
the tail, which measured about the
size of a human thumb.
He returned the following day to
the scene of his find and loaded
the forty-eight segments or a truck,
since then he has marked each seq
ment and placed them end to end
in his back yard.
The size of the serpent indicates
it was large enough to nave swal-

The strength of two men is re-
quired to lift the largest segment.
The fossil resembles a dark sand
stone, the under side being of a
lighter hue. Through the core a
whitish petrification indicates the
vertebrae of the monster.

MOST SEVERE HAIL
TO VISIT BALD RIDGE

One of the most severe hail
storms ever to strike this section
of the country visited the Bald
Ridge community August 18th, do
ing terrible damage to the crops
in that district. The hail came
down for a period of one-half hour
and stood about a foot deep on the
level before it ceased. Besides
damaging and totally destroying
the crops of hat section, it in
many instances beat the rubberoid
roofing on some of the homes to
pieces, so that during the rain
which followed the homes were
badly damaged by water.
At the Two Dot ranch the dam
age was quite severe. A part Of
the grain vas destroyed and it is
necessary that Mcknight cut his
hay Immediately to insure a good
second crop. At the Johnnie Mel
sen ranch about twenty-five acres
of wheat and oats were almost
totally destroyed. as well as the
garden. Paul Harytk sustained a
small loss as did practically all
the ranchers in hat section. Ed
Brown, with a ranch located direct
ly in the path of the storm came
off unscathed. Miraculously the
hail struck both sides of his grain

WOMAN FALLS TO HER
DEATH In YELLOWSTONE
Attempts Impossible Descent, Wit
esses Say.

Mountain trails and canyons
claimed the life of another western
vacationist Tuesday of last week
when Mrs. Grace Olive Grams, of
Denver, hurtled 1000 feet to her
death from the rim of the Grand
Canyon of the Yellowstone National
park.
Attempting to make what park
officials say is an impossible de-
scent at that point of the precipi-
tious sides of the gorge in company
with DR.. Erhardt Fuss, of Windsor,
Colorado. the oma apparently
lost her footing and dropped to
the rocks below.
The two had descended about
200 feet and DR.. Fuss had gone on
ahead to reconnoiter when he heard
a cry from Mrs. Grams. Looking
up he saw her body flash past him
and plunge into the depths of the
canyon. He scrambled back to the
rim and summoned aid, but it was
not until six hours later that Rang
er Ted Ogden, lowered into the
canyon with a rope, located the
body. The body was then attached
to the rope and hauled to the top.
Ogden following his gruesome find
a few minutes later on the same
rope.
The woman came here with a
party of friends from Windsor,
Colorado, and was the first va
cation fatality reported in the park
this season.
She is survived by a husband
and sister. living in Chicago, by
a brother in Minneapolis, her par
ents and a son in Denver.

at Casper Friday and Saturday of

ed by Postmaster H. H. Loucks,
president of the association during
the last year., and c.. T. Hansen.

trict.
j. A. Hobbs, postmaster at Raw
Inns, was elected president; Arthur
W. Crawford of Guernsey, first
vice president: Mrs. Sullivan of
Evanston, second vice president; C.
NJ. Hett, secretary-treasurer. The
next meeting will be held at Their
mopolis August 10 and IL.
Many topics of interest and con-
Germ to postmasters and the postal
business generally were discussed
and much good will come from the
gathering, it was believed by those
in attendance. Other states have
had postmasters' organizations for
years and Wyoming initiated the
movement last year.
Among the matters on which the
association went strongly on record
was the selection or appointment of
all postmasters on the merit system
that is. under the federal civil serv-
ice plan of open competitive exam
ination. 1t was urged that in this
manner the best service may be
had for the patrons of the office,
without regard to the political pull
or other undue influence on the
part of applicants for postal posi-
tions. 1t is understood that both
Congressman Charles E. Winter and
Senator John B. Kendrick are on
record as favoring this method of
sele<ting postmasters.
