seems the steers in Nebraska are
not so easily treated inhumanily as
the bulls down in old Mexico.
The steers and bulls secured for
the Nebraska bull fight started
right in and especially one old
fellow with but one horn, kept
the bespangled Mexican matadors,
corridors, humidors, ETC., right on
these greasers were chased behind
the Kings-Ex corners and the
crowd razzed them and made a
big holler for their money back.
Some Nebraska cowboys were
called in to the bull ring to give
the public some exhibition riding
and to give the crowd a show for
their money as the bull fight had
been such a flop. The cowboys
bull-dogged a few steers but none
of them would tackle the old
steer with one horn as they did
not like to take the chances of
hanging on to the single horn and
the old boy was too proficient
with the one horn and a little too
ugly for the cowboys. The bull
fight has been made a joke in
Nebraska where several leading
papers characterize it as too much
Bull in the bull fight.

as the Daddy of Them ALL"

own park, where bucking horses
and wild steers have room to give
the cowboys a real fight for sup
remacy. Modern steel stands are
provided for the spectator from
which every bit of action can be
plainly seen.
All attendants of the national

and Howard Flint, district fire
chief is reported to have said that
the blaze was the worst he ever
saw.
A general exodus of summer
residents and vacationers began
after the order to evacuate the
area was passed around. All day
long they left by train, auto and
every way that they could travel.
J. F. Potter and his wife were
unaccounted for late Wednesday.
Their home was in the threatened
area but they refused to leave
when warned by forestry officials.
Tuesday the fire burned out many
logging contractors, lumber camps
and homesteaders, the bridge OF
the National Pole company across
the north fork of the Flathead
and the north fork ranger station
in the park.
Pumps Communicated
Some of the inhabitants nave
escaped with only their personal
effects. All available pumps IN
this region have been collected
and are being used TO pump and
throw water on roofs of the Bel
ton buildings, busintss houses and
Great Northern property. The
stiff breeze is bringing flaming
embers and hot ashes from the
fire over the town and adding to
the dangers.
Forces are being reorganlzed Tor
a desperate assault against the
blaze. Included r men from the
Blackfeet and Flathead national
forests, Glacier park, the Northern
Montana Forestry association, the
State Lumber company, ]. Neils

Kelley, logging contractor.

5000 feet.
The gilded dome of the capitol
building was in view for several
miles and the highway, u. s.
Wyoming 1856, led directly past
the capitol and to the Plains hotel
which was to be our temporary
home. The highway also brought
us past the buildings and grounds
of the federal air port just outside
the city. The claim is made that
physically, this is the best airport
in the world and that it is so ac-
knOwledged by air experts. We
later made two visits to this port
and inspected all sorts of planes
from a cute little Curtiss Robin
to giant, tri-motored mail planes.
Built With Brick
We were a whole day ahead of
the newspaper convention we had
come to attend and had time to
drive about the town and stroll
through the business streets and
the capitol building. The first as
we'll as the last impression of the
city was that it is busy and grow
ing. Scores of buildings, chiefly
moderate-size residences, were I'M
der construction-cleverly design
ed bungalows and two story
houses, nearly all being built of
face brick of attractive colors and
combinations. Inquiry brought out
the fact that on account of the dry
climate brick or stucco finish was
considered the cheapest construc-
ton in the long run as they do
not shrink, warp OF require much
paint. A beautiful junior high
school, occupying nearly a block
of ground was nearly completed.
A great concrete, overhead viaduct
extending about a third of a mile,
over all railroad tracks, and with
approaches built from two of the
principal business streets was an
other piece of public work nearly
ready for use.
Trees and Parks
Although built on a plain or
iginally treeless the residential
and parks districts of Cheyenne
are now almost a forest of large
trees, with many small ones grow
ing in the newer sections. Sew
eral small lakes, some of them
made, at the edge of the city have
been given good care with parks
planned around them. Bright
flowers adorned parks and house
yards. The population claim is
$1,000 and the town looks to have
it. At present it is said to be a
toss up between Casper and
Cheyenne for metropolis honors.
1t is an old town but someway
there is not much evidence to be
seen of the old COW town of the
70's. Recently it has had a rapid
growth that seems likely to con-
tinue with the development of the
state.
Big Tourist Population
In common with those of the
rest Of Wyoming the people of
Cheyenne impress the stranger as
unusually friendly, keen and pub
lic-spirited. They are all expert
enced hosts. In the summer
months, due to its good highways,
the state has nearly as much
transient as permanent popula-
ton. Thousands of tourists pass
through the state for outings and
vacations at its parks, camp
grounds and dude ranches.
Mountain Water
Cheyenne is supplied with pure
mountain water, delightfully."- cool

WELFARE WORK
\ DISCUSSED AT
p. E. o. MEETING

I Chapter AV, p. f. o. held its
i last regular meeting of the year at
b the home of Mrs. Henry Loud on
Sandaiwood avenue yesterday.
One half the organization was
hostess to the other half at the de-
licious luncheon served ut noon
which was followed by the usual
business meeting
Mrs. Harold Burnham, chairman
of the social service committee ana
in charge of the program for the
afternoon, introduced Mrs. Mar
garet p. Pratt, agent of the state
department of 1ocial welfare, who,
ut the request of the board of super
visors, is in Imperial county making
z survey of the welfare work being
done, the reorganization and i'm
prorements needed. This service is
furnished by the state to any coun-
" desiring it.
Speaking on tine work of her de-
partmcnt, and illustrating with q
few eases from Imperial county
Mrs. Pratt stated that welfare work
has come to be recognized as a
function of government and that
California is one of the few states
having regular departments for
that work.
One of the main things which
the state is attempting is to secure
: the registration of trained social
workers just as the registration of
nurses is required. In order to avoid
duplication of effort. and to pre-
vent the pauperization of individ
uals which is often the result OF
the well mean. efforts of unframed
persons, a trained worker is neces
sary, the speaker declared.
Many Given Aid
In one year the state depa stmen:
of social welfare has given aid t.
$4,000 children, inspected boarding
homes and institutions, hospitals
jails, prisons, homes for the feeble
minded homes for the aged, etc, a;
well as the investigations of al
adoptions. Cooperation with tn,
county welfare departments is an
other function of the department.
Concluding her talk with briei
discussion of certain conditions il
the valley, Mrs. Pratt stated thai
the most encouraging thing abou
the whole local struction is the at
titudc of the supervisors who arr
most anxious to aid in this work
