its face lifted just drive into the
Hall Garage and inquire for his
expert mechanic, Omar Van Dorm.
When you get it back you'll swear
YOU have new car.
The Belfry Tonsorial parlor is
owned and operated by Melvin
Niolette so efficiently and ably
that it defies competition. Its pat
ronage extends from Bridger to
Cody. Wyoming and anyone in need
of a haircut, SINCE, shampoo, boy
ish bob, marcel or permanent wave
had better phone in for an appoint

fist, he is SO busy.
Mrs. Ethel Wink has charge of
the telephone exchange, Mrs. Grace

cream buying station and Mrs. O.
C. Handbook is proprietor of u

Belfry is Carbon County's prin-
cipal railroad center. The Montana,
Wyoming 4 Southern has its gen
eral offices, roundhouse and mach
inc shops there. W. H. Bunney is
its superintendent and general
manager, G. J. Wentz is master
mechanic, H. R. Routh valuation
accountant, Ben Rarey, building
and bridge foreman and E. J. Ro
mex, local agent. 1t is said that
Mr.. Bunney can call every one OF
his employees by his first name.
At any rate be it said that they
are loyal TO him, he is loyal to
them and they are all loyal to the
NJ. W. & S. which in great measure
explains its success as a depend
able traffic agency.
In survey of Belfry's leading
citizens a score might be mention
ed but space forbids. Most of them
have already been mentioned. 1t
might be said in passing, however,
that J. O. Higham served term
in the State Legislature. After ne
got out he courageously came right
back to Belfry and since then has
been trying his best to live it down.
He takes the attitude that he was
an innocent man and right today
it is probable that ninety-five per
Get of his neighbors would claim
he didn't do it, or at least don't
hold it against him.
Then there is L. E. Gard who
might rightfully claim Belfry as
his Old Home Town. Since he be-
came a member of the Board of
County Commissioners it has leak
ed out that the second initial of
of his name stands for Economy.
The taxpayers of the county in
addressing him as chairman of the
board usually spell his name Qua
I'd. He is a stickler for strict econ
omy when it comes to expending
public money and religiously qua
rds the interests of the tax payers
of the county at all times. Carbon
County never had a better County
Commissioner than Lee Gard.
Belfry never had resident law
yer which is not said to its dis
credit in any way. The people
there are SO neighborly and treai
each other with such loving kind
ness that they don't need one. L
any trouble arises there they sorI
Of settle it lip among themselves
under the Marquis of Queensbm5
rules which isn't such bad plan
Two church organizations have
buildings there, the Presbyterian:
and Latter Day Saints, though
other denominations are represent
ed there with considerable mem
bership.
Years ago a doctor Chilcott 10
Gated in Belfry. He is said to have
been very patient and hopeft,
man but the citizens refused tt
fall sick. Pure mountain air, ex
cellent water, salubrious climat
and the choicest. of fruits of tn
earth assisted Fate in being a
gainst him. In the end he and hi
poor wife nearly starved to deaf
and moved away. Of course peopl
die there occasionally, mostly 0
old age but when the shadows dar
ken and ere they fall asleep the
breathe fervent prayer that whe
they leave the Gem of the uppe
Clark Fork they will awaken to
fuller life in that bright, and HAP
