It has done something toward removing a condition which was no credit to the city of Casper. It has the support of all good citi- zens, The Mayor and city officials are to be congratulated on their action in not only sanctioning but in lending the moral weight of their offices to the movement. But without continual care, and without some action by the city council, Casper is likely to lapse back into a lethargic state of indif- ference to sanitation. The disposal of garbage, for ins! , is none too good today. The Tribgae advocated repeated. 1 the adoption of some adequate means of ridding the city of noisesome inconvenience and actual danger of having refuse and garbage accumulate for days at a time in backyards, in uncov- ered receptacles, and even in some instances on the ground. If the collection and disposal of garbage does not more nearly keep pace with the growth of the city, the time is coming when the old adage “See Naples and Die” may be amended in this community to read “Smell Casper and Die.” Either one concern should be em- powered to remove garbage, and ‘should be strictly mark in its removal, or the city Should take upon itself the duty of fits disposal.

That is greatness, of a type. A novelist who used this theme might be accused of laying his col- ors on too thick. Book reviewers would be apt to take exception to such a story, on the ground that it was not true to human nature. But human nature again bobs up with the proof that the novelist is really a piker when it comes to vying with Life in establishing situations; in laying on colors, in painting the lilly and in gilding fine gold. TRIAL OF FOSTER The William Z.

President Harding, it is reported, has been urged by his vacation com- panions and other friends to estab- lish an office of ‘administration publicity” to furnish the people with more and better information than they now obtain respecting the plans, policies and activities of the federal government, and especially those of the chief executive. Mr. Harding, it seems, is skeptical con- cerning the utility or popularity of such an office, because of the like- lihood of its becoming an instru- ment of propaganda. During the period of American participation in the world war a dis- astrous organization which should have been called the Committee on Public Misinformation was main- tained in Washington with that emi- nent but ill advised propagandist George Creel in charge. That com- | mittee was often charged with dis- tortion of facts, misrepresentation and suppression. | Even under normal conditions it | would be easy for a administration to convert a publicity agency into a political instrumentality. The public does not want partisan or colored reports designed to keep a particu- jlar coterie in power; it wants gen- uine information respecting the gov- ernment. There is ample room for tion, for in a free government pub- lic opinion ultimately decides all public issues and such decisions, to | be sound, must be based on knowl- edge of all the facts involved.

Che Casper Daily Cridune —By Fontaine Fox| To Be Main Highway “ mato! seine THAT LaPRose! tHis BUG GoT AWAY BLAME NEAR Ditch Contract Is Approved RIVERTON, W Aprt 12.— After negotiations extending over a period of more than a year, the sec- ket to Russia marked) retary of the interior approved a pro- posed form of contract in the matter jot the Le-Clair-Riverton irrigation ct. Nearly two years ago this trrigation district was organized for the pur- pose of taking over the LeClair-Riy. erton No. 2 ditch. The ditch includes all the land in private ownership un- der the project. After the organiza- tion had been effected, a form of con- tract between the district, the River- ton Ditch company and the govern- ment was submitted to the Indian of fice for approval. This was under consideration for many months, and was finally disapproved on the grounds that the secretary of the in- terfor had no legal authority to enter into it. A reconsideration of the mat- ter was granted, but the negotiations languished, and the officers of the dis trict and the company finally - decid- ed to send, their attorney, O. N. Gi. son, to Washington, with a view to taking the matter up personally with department officials. He was there two Weeks, and before his departure a form of contract was agreed upon which it is believed will be satisfac- tory to all concerned and conducive to the best interest of the water users, | the government and the Indians. Under the law, the contract will have to be approved by the stock holders of the company, the qualified oters of the district, and the dis- riet court of Fremont county. This necessarily will require some time, and it is not believed that possession of the system can be transferred to present {rrigation season. ‘The proposed contract contemplates made to toe the/®nd urgent need of such informa-|not merely the unification of control |of the system, but also the reclama tion of those lande of the district | now wihout water rights. Long time bonds will be issued, secured by an nual assessments on these lands, and their owners will thus be enabled to put them into cultivation on reason- able terms and under feasible condi- tions. The local officials of the Indian service have long felt that the inter. ests of all concerned demanded that the operations of the upper end of the LeClair-Riverton irrigation sys- tem be turned over to the land own- ers under the project. ‘The situation was a rather complicated one, how ever, and tho difficulty was to devise a contract that would safeguard the interests of all. The land owners of the district are greatly indebted to Supervising Engineer W. 8S. Hanna for his efficient and cordial assistance in bringing the negotiations to o- cessful conclusion. Mr. Gibson speaks enthusiastically of the very courteous consideration accorded him by all of the department officials with whom he had to deal. Such differences as developed were merely honest differ- ences as to legal questions, or ques- tions of methods of procedure, FOR YOUR HEALTH’S SAKE have your rugs and carpets cleaned by H. D.
