This statement will be taken exception to on the grounds of the recent failure of the Bank of Gillette, but which in itself is not a just criterion upon which to Judge the financial situation of the country. Moreover it only tends to show in rellef the true proportion the strength of other institutions now handling the business centering in Gillette. A close review of the banking situa- tion will reveal some very enlighten- ing facts about Gillette and Campbell county, something of the underlying factors in this unprecedented pros: verity now being experienced by the farming sections of the county. These conditions cannot exist and not be felt eventually by all phases of bus!- ness, particularly the so-called dry- farmers. In all justice it might he dded that to this great class of pro- | ducers the sound financial condition of the county is due. The bank statement is the mirror |{n which the prosperity of any com munity the is reflected.

April 20. — Ranchers and landowners are going to battle the high tax valuations pre- vailing in Wyoming. A committee was named tn a spe c’al meetting of the Sheridan Farm bureau to investigate the high valua- tion situation and make a report with recommendations for action that will remedy the problem. Bert P, Stilts of Clearmont, H. C. Jefteris of the Leiter estate of Leiter and Goeblet Gallatin of Big Horn, were armed by John E. Patrick, pres ident of the bureau, to make invest!- wation and report. Land valuations in Wyoming, sald the men in the meeting, are higher than rental values. This condition of affairs, it was pointed out, makes the land owner pay as much as $70 a sec- tion for taxes on land which he re- ceives a rental of only $50.

The United States marshall wno | visited the valley this week served the indictment and Mr. Davis was placed under $1,000 bonds to appear at the fall term of court to be hela in September. It is thought in local circles that Mr. Davis did not intentionally com. mit any grevious wrong, and that the court will show clemency, peti. tions have been circulated asking for leniency and practically everyone who knows Jack are glad to sign. ——>_—— Ladies—Make your own at the Dressmaking Sghool. clothes Phone 1339 "hi isht. From the comparative figure: of the years 1922 and 1923 ending April 10 of each period it is found Deposits on April 10, $382,417.87 Deposits on April 10, '22- 223,953.35 Net gain in deposits______ $158,464.52 Of this amount with all fairness to the Bank of Gillette as a competing institution, about $20,000 of these in creased deposits can be attributed to the crash which occurred several weeks ago. The balance or $133,- 464.52 is due to the increased pros: perity of Campbell county. Further, this Increased state of productivity of the county can be attributed to the diversified farming industry. In the first place more hogs are being shipped out of Campbell county; more grain is being seeded and conse: quently a large portion of that is put on the foreign market. The impor. tance of diversified farming can not be lost sight of, and together with the grain crop the greater production of hogs, sheep, cattle and good horses depends the continued prosperity of the country. Hundreds of bushels of grain has been, shipped out of the county during the present winter and there is still many thousands of bushels left in the county that will not see the market until the late sum: mer. But for the time the increased deposits 1s due to more ready cash among the farming class from the sale of the grain crops and the small produce of the farm.

Never since the phono- graph was invented have the music-loving public been able to listen to phonographic music so nearly like the original in unmarred melody, so de- lightfully free from the scratch and scrape of needle noise. This never-before- known surface quietness results from the Columbia process of constructing records in layers or leaves —a hard centre core over- laid with a material of such exquisite smoothness that the noise of needle friction is never created. As an example of this great musical accom; ment go to any Columbia Dealer and ask to hear record A-3822. It is Edwin Dale singing “The Love- light in Your Ey: He gives this beautiful melody a touch of sweetness and sympathy be- yond compare. It is as if the owner of this wonderful tenor voice was singing directly to you. And as you listen, note the absence of that old, irritating grinding sound of the neadle. All Columbia New Proc- ess Records are equally delightful. They can be played on any phonogr@ph. The Columbia process is patented.
