Casper Tourist Accommodations As Convenient as Home, Wife Of Kanass Editor W;ites on Visit ‘The complacent Casperite who feels that his town is the only real town in the United States is at least being recognized as a man of sound judgment and not unbecoming pride. But even he, observant as he prob- ably is, may not have thought that the little tract of land at the south end of Durbin street, whers there ‘s a fr¢me summer house with room around it to park a number of cars js almost as widely known as the much contested Teapot field or even of the refinery sites them- selves. ‘The tourists camp grounds, which mean nothing to the citizens tucked ; Sway between whiie sheets after a meal cooked by somebody alee, take on an entirely different aspect to the tired traveler, who has been for three hours after sunset breaking the epeed limit to reach the place in time to fix up a late supper and enjoy the hespitality of a great or- ganization. Mra. E. R. Collier, 625 South Beech street, is the recipient of a copy of the Sabatha Herald publish- ed at Sabatha, Kan., In which there is a very long article by Mrs. Ralph Tennal, wife of the editor of the paper, who with her son Robert made « tour to Yellowstone park last month, The article deals with the details of the trip in a very entertaining and vivid manner, and is very encouraging to anyone who may have thought that persons praise Casper only to the face of Casperite: For instance, sound? “Casper was the amazing site of our camp tour up-to-date. We ex- pected a country town of 5,000.

There is a sort of unwritten law that every woman shall wash the sink « little, but the final cleaning is givep by the last woman at dishwashing. “At the tourist camp you are asked to sign a card with the amount of money spent in Casper and how it was spent. We were there Monday night, Tuesday and until 3 o'clock Wednesday. We spent about $15 in Casper. ‘The writer discusses Casper gen- eral at great length, laying stress on the ofl refineries.

In company with Mr. Higgins, who is acting as manager for the enter- prise, Mr. Gant shot 11,000 feet of film at the Frontier days show, which is pronounced by experts to be some of the best events ever filmed. The weather conditions were ideal fo: filming, and as Mr. Gant ts an old. time westerner, having been a rest. dent of Cheyenne for many years, had the advantage of knowing just what was coming off and knew just what to “shoot.” The filmes are not only educational and instructive, but thrilling in the extreme. All the main events are brought out, and excellent shots were taken of the championship buildog- ging, roping and bronc busting con. test: Messrs.

JUGO-SLAV TAMBURICANS TO BE FEATURED DURING CHAUTAUQUA WEEK HERE Musto lovers will enjoy a real mus!- cal treat in hearing the Jugo-Slay Tam burica orchestra, which is coming as the musical feature on the third day of Chautauqua. Balkan melodies—a novelty in America--form only a small part of the wonderful repertoire of the five young Jugo-Slavs comprising this or- chestra, They first won recognition at the Paris Exposition, and since com- ing to America, these young Jugo- lavs everywhere met with enthusias- tic receptions, playing opera selections, American songs and popular and pa. triotic airs with skill. These minstrels appear in the bright colorful costumes of their native land, and using the various sizes of Tam. burica producing music of remarkable sweetness.
