That was away Yack in the years from 1892 to 1595. It was plain William Lower then and he was in the newspaper business, con- nected with the Omaha World-Herald cirealation department, under his father who was the business manager. Young Lower traveled through the west and wrote descriptive pases of Ambitious town came across with a just about‘all that could be reasonably said in their behalf, when the said @mitions town came across with a @pecified numer of annual subscrip- {ions to the then greatest newspaper in the world. William’ Jennings Bryan was the editor of the World-Herald at the time and his star had just begun to rise as @ political oracle, boy orator, quadren- mial candidate for president, Chau- tauqua spellbinder, general moral up- ifter and the numerous other things which he -was. is, and was about to pr, Lower visited Casper in 1892, and was wondering today what had be- éome of the hitching racks along Cen ter street where the ranchers were want to tie their broncho teams while doing a little trading at the few stores then in existence, or mayhaps iibating with an old personal friend at one of the numerous thirst parlors. He inquired for well remembered old tim- ers who in that day were prominent in the life of the peeeenientty no hel ve on. He recalled them all. i see was amazed that the straggling one street village of 1892 could have expanded into the modern industrial city of today. He has looked over the wonderful refining | plants of the city and tomorrow will go to Salt Creek to view the source of the raw material which creates the wealth of Casper and makes it famous, wherever ofl and oil products are mentioned. While in Wyoming Dr. Lower is go- ing over many of the old trails he traveled in his younger days and is énjoying every moment of the time.

Factories are charged once more with the re- sponsibility of production. Employ- ment lines are dwirfiling and many have disappeared altogether. Best of all, retall display rooms are again the centers of lively business, No matter from what angle the situation is con- sidered, it presents sure signs of re- cov: Figures which have been furnished by the Packard Motor Car company ot Detroit indicate clearly the trend and force of the improvement. In the Chicago territory for example, July Twin-Six sales equalled those of the previous three months combined. De- troit retail sales for July totalled a quarter milion dollars. And gener- ly speaking this showing is repre- sentative of the other 325 Packard dis- tributing points throughout the cous- try. On August 19, the Packard factory was more than month's production be- hind on Twin-Six orders, espite all | preparations made to anticipate tha in-| pressed demand that followed the July | ice provisions. On August 5, both | New York and Philadelphia were com- | pletely sold out of Twin-Six and} Single-Six touring models. During the | first half of August, Twin-Sox orders | ran 60 per cent ahead of production. | The same condition prevails throughout most of the Single-Six rket. Most points show decided increases in Single-Six business, with the demand ‘leaning more of late to| the first types, sedan and coupe, The Single:Six saies figures for the first ten days of August show a 78 per| cent increase over those of the first | ten days of July. | Similar improvement fg also ehown by truck sales. Figures for the first | half of August’ disclose a 59 per cent | gain over those of the first half of July. The automobile along with the wool, copper, r lumber steel! | and other industries has been very sick, but the crisis is definitely over. | Its business relations with the pub-| lic today are fairer and more cordial than those of almost any other indus. try. Although its utility and its right to. grow have been assailed violently | in some quarters during the last year, its inherent stability has remained un- shaken. The recent marked improve- ment in its sales is the public's final vote of confidence.

Other members of the party who were less injured received surgical treat- ment but it was not found necessary to place them in the hospital. Reagor received a wrenched back and several less sericus bruises, none of which are considered very serious. ‘The girl suffered deep cut about the head requiring “keverfil stitches to close and also a painfully dislocated shoulder. Eddie Sinclair, another member of the party, escaped with a badly cut hand and a few minor bruises. Just how many persons were in the car at the time of the accident is not known. Too much “moonshine” on the part of the chauffeur is said to have been the cause of the accident. ~—_ The only animal in the Arctic reg- fons that can successfully fight the Polar bear is the walrus.
