WATCHING WYOMING GROW

How great changes that have taken place in Wyoming in the
last quarter of a century. Consider, for instance. the development
of the Big Horn Basin. Attention is attracted to that by a phase
OF the career OF Thomas Long, who died recently at Powell.
In 1902 Long opened a general store at Garland, which then
was the terminus of the Burlington railroads Big Horn Basin
branch that later was extended southeastward across the state. So
thnly settled was the Basin country, and so meager its sources OF
supply, that Long, carrying a comprehensive stock. soon had estab-
lshed his store as a major supply point of a region larger than the
state of Massachusetts. Supply wagons sent to the store from the
remoter ranches required days to make the Journey in each direction.
Today the region that was the Long stores trade territory comprises
the counties OF Big Horn, Hot Springs, Washable and Park. They
have 10000 people One item Of the production OF these four coun-
ties last year was crops worth more than $6OOOOOO.
Long witnessed marvellous Development of the Woyning I'm
land empire" in a quarter OF a century. Contemplating what he
observed, consider what those who observe that region during the
next quarter of a century will behold-Cheyenne Tribune.

WHY PICK ON POWELL?
(From the Powell Tribune).

The impression prevails at Powell that the late order of the
county attorney and sheriff to close dance halls and pool halls
promptly at II o'clock on Saturday nights has inconsistent prompt
ings. The Herald intimates that is because of the Saturday night
orgies at Powell and Ralston that the county officials seemed con-
strained to close the lid.
The Tribune is offering no brief for anything that may in the
past have been going on at Powell or Ralston. There is much that
needs looking after here as elsewhere. no doubt. but Powell people
can't help but feel a little nettled over the unfavorable publicity
that is being given this locality, when especially the liquor laws
have been violated with far more contempt for law in the very shad-
ows OF the Park county court house for months and the county Off
Gals appear not to have thought much about the necessity for any
cleanup work until prompted by conditions down this way.
Go to it, boys, and clean up all you like and the Tribune and al
Powell people are behind you, but don't forget that Cody and Nee
teetse might stand a little looking into. 1t seems that our Jealous
county officials r straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel,

Our Hired Man

The hired girl says the kitchen
stove is balky. II refuses to draw. so,
knocking the SCOT out is another job
for a rainy day.
The boss and me clean our cows
twice as many times in a week as our
neighbor, but only spend half as much
time and get n better job all the time.
Maybe the work is hara sometlme>
but 1t makes the food taste better.
The boss always looks at every cow
in the herd like he does at the hired
man. He says, "If I've got to pay for
their keep and shelter. that's n bar
gain, provided ! make a profit on
them"
The boss and the missus had an mr.
gument the other night as TO whether
for the missus. They compromised
and now we get a concrete floor in
the cow stable.

SPENDING THE TOWNS MONEY

A Cody citizen remarked the other day that the present town
council was spending too much money.
1t is true that they have spent considerable money, but has it
not been expended wisely?
They have taken over the lighting system and are furnishing
the citizens of Cody with electric energy at a price much below the
average for this commodity. They are giving the town an orna-
mental lighting system which will be paid for with the profits made
from handling the electricity.
They have given the town a modern sewer system which will
be of great benefit to the town long after the cost is forgotten. 1t
has eliminated countless filthy cess-pools and has made the town
a much more healthful and desirable place in which to live. Cody
people will probably forget that too.

Total number of forest fires showed a considerable decline last
year, leading to the assumption. that at last the campaign of educat-
ing the public to reasonable care against fire is beginning to bear
fruit.
For example, the acreage burned over in national forests in Cal
norma was only about one-eighth of the aera of last year. and cost
OF lighting he was only about one tenth. This is more remarkable
because there was an increase in number of fires from spontaneous
combustion and other natural unavoidable causes.
The l9Zo report sets a good example for this year, and if the
need for constant vigilance is kept in the public mind. w may sue
coed in still further reducing destruction through needless handlingl
of fire.

He did not. He called in their parents and had each one given a
