In line with the policy of the com- pany which calls for a definite plan of keping ahead of Casper so that the @emands of the city may be fully met et all Mr. Waters will under take an extensive probe of local con @itions and of the future growth re flected in these conditions. The Natrona Power company now has a capacity past the immediate needs of Casper and bas storage capac: ity beyond this point of 800 horse- power. Rapid changes in the present confines of the business district or ex- tension of the residential districts would readly absorb tho production of that unit however. While it is not believed that tm- mediate demands will extend beyond the capacity of the plant, the Natrona Power company officials realide that purchasing and installation of the in- tricate machinery refuired would take a long time, in all probability will au- thorize immediately any necessary equipment which Mr. Waters might determine upon as necessary for the plant under certain conditions of growth in Casper. One of the important questions in connection with the furnishing of ade- quate power and light service to Cas- per, is now being studied by the cham: ber of commerce. It calls for probing the possibilities of furnishing this city and vicinity with electric current gen- erated at the Boysen dam. It is be Meved that power could be brought over high tension wires to Casper and marketed by the power company here, ‘The chamber of commerce committee which is investigating the conditions ‘ ineludes Lew M.

Mem ber bank borrowings, according to the report, showed a continuous decline from $2,687,000,000 at the end of 1920 to about $1,444,000,000 at the end of 1921, due to a reduction of over $900,- 000,000 in the volume of federal reserve notes in girculation. On December 28 the report con- tinned, the federal reserve banks hald & gold reserve of $2,870,000,000. “For some months past,” the report stated, “there has ben a marked eas- ing of interest. Nothwithstanding some unfavorable feature in the rev: enue laws, the investment market is now absorbing securities at reasonable rates which could not have been con. sidered a few months ago, Market quotations of Iberty bonds are now approaching par. Good railroad and industrial bodies have also appre ed and there have been some noticeable advances in standard stocks. High commodity prices and great business activity usually mean lower prices for bends and other securities yielding a fixed income, while reduced commodi ty prices and lower money rates bring higher market prices for bonds.” HALF WILSON FURD RAISED NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—More than $200,000, haif the amount which will make up the fund, nas been subscrb- ed, accordiag to Frenklin D.

Tako me back home quick and let me ¢limb into my evening clothes again, or Ill be late.” And so this is the reason why George Nelson has established a new record as a lightning change artist. Moral: In the cow-town days of Casper, one party at a time was the order of the day—and everybody went. But in metropolitan Casper there's Hats» to be more than one— and everybody doesn't receive the same invitation.

Committee consideration of the Yap treaty centered about the question of how great a measure of control over the former German Island would be given to Japan by American recogni tion of the Japanese mandate over it. Some Republicans as well as Demo- crates indicated a fear that the man- date power might infringe upon Amor- ican rights despite the treaty provis fons.

MIDWEST BARBER SHOP SETS THE PACE HERE Eleven months ayo William Shaffer opened’ the Midwest Barber shop in the Midwest building, determined that hia prices must conform with those during pre-war days. Mr. Shaffer cut the price of haircutting to 50 cents and shaving to 25 cents. It is only during the past month that other shops have met these prices.
