Being a citizen of Wyoming, a father of one of the boys, an inti- mate friend of every one of a com-| pany of guardsmen that has helped to make up the largest nationai guard encampment ever held in Wyoming and a subscriber to the Tribune, gives me hopes that you might find space in your paper for a little friendly criticism of the good people of Cheyenne; not for being just moderately indifferent, which owing to the fact that Chey- enne has at all times a considerable number of regulars at Fort Rus- sell, could be easily overlooked by fair minded people. But Cheyenne should not forget that it has been six short years ago since the call to arms resounded over the land and the manhood of our land was mus- tered to go to a foreign country and \ protect those ideals and standards so dear to every true hearted Amer- ican citizen. We were filled with admiration and gratitude at the wonderful and rapid manner in which the members of the various state militiamen were transferred almost over night into a body of illed soldiers who were one of the greatest factors in bringing about a rapid victory to the cause of right and justice. These brave boys, representing many of the best homes in the land were given no more praise and rec- ognition than they deserved and, were they faced by the same or sim- ilar circumstances they would go tomorrow to the end of the earth willingly to see that right and jus- tice predominates. We all admit this, and yet, it is a regrettable fact that they are not given recognition for the stand they are taking. In fact there has been recent instances when our local guardsmen, many of them over seas veterans were sub- jected to humiliating discourtesies by many of the business houses in Cheyenne as well as some of the places of amusement. It was com- mon talk among the members of the guard during the recent encamp- ment that if they wished to be treated with any courtesy at the cafes or be able to get a chance \ to dance at any of the public dance | halls in Cheyenne they must cast off their uniforms and don civilian clothes before going into the city. In your editorial the following statement was made regarding the recent encampment: “The young men who comprise the 115th and 116th cavalry regi- ments are as fine a representation of sterling young manhood as could be found anywhere. 3 “That the morale of these sol- rs is excellent. “That the public at large has this year sensed the great responsibility that has fallen on the shoulders of the national guard of the country following the slashing of the size of our regular army to a point which renders none too safe our national defense. “All these fac 3 t are Wy ecepted the su campme t No | deliverea to you by special mes) enthusiasm, but if we were to select | the most important it would be the jlast; namely, the attitude of he public.” The Tribune is correct as far as |the majority of the state is con- cerned, yet Cheyenne, the state cap- |ital, reaping a benefit financially of possibly $25,000 during the stay |of our guardsmen in their city, should at least have extended te them the hospitality accorded the average citizen. There are many cities in the state which would be gratified to have the distinction of having the en- campment there, and if Cheyenne realized the sentiment which was widely prevalent among the men to the effect that they hoped they would not be required to return |there for another season, a differ- ent atmosphere might predominate/ }in the future. It is generally hoped} that the majority of the citizenship of Wyoming do not hold in con- tempt the American uniform as do some of the citizens of Cheyenne, And we do not believe that this is the sentiment of the citizenship of Cheyenne generally, and it will be well for them to cultivate a differ- }ent sentiment among many of its | business places, which does not ap- parently exist today. D. T. SHOEMAKER.” In strict justice to Cheyenne it should perhaps be explained that! Mr. Shoemaker does not take into consideration the difficulty of wel-| coming guardsmen in a town which | has a regular army post. Whatever) else may be said for the regular| army doughboy, he is very apt to! be a hard boiled citizen—so hard| boiled that the town in which he is| quartered begins after a while to consider him anything but an asset. Thus it is quite possible that Chey- enne mistook guardsmen for regu- lar army men in some instances; and such a mistake would naturally bring it about that their welcome wouid be none too cordial. LOUVAIN—1923 Yesterday, Cardinal Mercier ded- icated the first wing of the recon- structed Louvain library. This means that the former treasure house of learning is rising phoenix- like from the ashes. It is America’s contribution to the Belgian nation and will remain as a memorial of the esteem and effection that this country holds for our former ally. In the rebuilding of Louvain America has contributed generous- ly of her talents and her money. Individual contributions by Ameri- cans to the restoration fund num- bered many thousands. School teachers and school children gave nearly $40,000 to the work, thereby giving evidence of their personal interest in the rebuilding of Bel- gium’s martyred university. The names of these teachers and school children will remain permanently in the library, inscribed in a book pre- sented to the university by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, in behalf of the American committee for the restoration of Louvain. America’s part in the work, moreover, has not been confined to the gift of money. Two American architects, Mrs. Whitney Warren and Mr. Charles Wetmore, drew up the plans for the new library, and American work- men have labored to make the arch- itect’s plans a living reality. The restoration of Louvain will not be entirely due to our efforts. Bel- gium and her friends elsewhere have co-operated to bring about this re- sult. Yet our part has been a noble one, and Louvain will always be a name dear to the American heart.

Accord- ing to the report, two men were mov- ing a buch of horses from one road camp to another when the horse one of the men was riding was seen to be running loose by the other. This was; on Saturday and a hunt by the companion of the man that had dis- appeared failed to locate him. Men from camp were sent out to find tho man who they were sure had mot with acoldent, but it was Tuesday morning before he was found at the foot of a high cliff which it ts .pre- sumed he fell over. Tho injured man whose name could not be learned was in @ weakened condition and was un- able to do much talking. Marooned On Car WHHATLAND, Wyo., July 23. Suddenly engulfed in six feet of water as their car dropped into a washout made by cloudburst waters in a sand Craw two miles south of the Snow ranch on the Yellowstone highway Messrs. Fred Searl and Dick Wright surveyed the mging waste of waters for nearly an hour perched on the top of their car and qualified as her- ces of a Jules Verne novel. ‘The marooned mariners were re- turning from the baseball game at Cheyenne when they encountered the flood, The waters were 200 fect across and were running over the grade at a depth of from 12 ta 18 inches. They stepped on the gas and made a run at the flood with good results until they dropped into the washout cut through the grade by the main cur rent about 50 feet from the farther ide. The car sank until only eight inches of the top protruced above the water and the men fought thelr way out through the curtains to the top ot the car. Once there, their weight kept the car from rolling over, and they were able to remain until the water subsided sufficiently to permit them to wade ashore with the aid of a rope thrown by companions on the bank. A peculiar feature of the accident was that the lights of the car continued to burn under the water. Water Released KEMMERER, Wyo., July 23.—The |first water to be released this sea |son was let out of Jackson lake and the storage is now running Into the rived. The releasing date is later this ja plentiful supply of water this sea- |son, according to information given jout by Clyde Baldwin, in charge of water distribution. It is said there is more or less shortage of water every \season, but this year there will be enough not to result in crop losses, The release of this water 1s another instance where the waters from the snowsheds of Wyoming are stored in this state for the benefit of farmers in other commonwealths, without compensation of any kind to our state government. Much litigation has arisen over this robbery of Wyoming's own water, and the fight is still on to substantiate this state's claim to tt Canal Near Completion KEMMERER, Wyo., July 24—The Cottonwdod canal project which has been under construction for some time north of Big Piney 1s now rap- idly nearing completion. J. W. Doyle superintendent of the Cottonwood De- velopment company, which has the contract for this work, expects that the main canal will be finished this coming fall. At the present time fit: teen miles of the main ditch has been dug and nine miles of the first lateral has been completed. Application will be made to the state board to accept the first unit of the project during the next two weeks, Upon the accept- ance of this, land will be offered for settlement. Superintendent Doyle is year than last, with the prospects of | |now in Evanston conferring with the jand board on matters pertaining to this project. This project when completeci will mean much to the Green River valley. It will mean added population, with the consequent greater consumption of products. The land under the Cot- tonwood project {s some of the choic- est in the state, especially for the rais- ing and manutacture df dairy prod- ucts. | Meets Tragic Death | KEMMERER, Wyo., July 24. — Henry U. Sims, aged 30 years, of |Montpelier, met an untimely and tragic death while acting as flagman Jon the Yellowstone special, running ax first 17. Sims was unmarried. Shortly after leaving Granger Sims notified Conductor Edward Snyder, who had charge of the train, that the air brakes were sticking and ex- |Presse@ fear that they might get hot before reaching Kemmemem. Just be- fore the train reached Folger, Sims again mentioned the brakes and sug- gested that Conductor Snyder have men at Kemmerer look over the car, jsaying that he would not have time, |because he would in all probability be busy at the rear end of the train. Arriving in Kemmerer Brakeman Sims was missed. It is not an unusual thing for flagmen to be left behind, inasmuch as their work requires them to be at the rear of the train, switch- ing and performing other duties. Con- ductor Snyder reported Sims’ absence to the yardmaster at Kemmerer, but went ahead with the tmin, assuming the brakeman’s work and expecting him to catch second 17, When he did; not arrtye, inquiries Were made at al points along the line. However, no search was instituted, it being presumed that the brakeman would show up in due time. It was merely accidental that Sim: body was discovered by George Jen- sen, assistant road master, hanging over one of the lower beams of the narrow bridge which crogses Hams- fork approximately five miles west of “t's fandy—to havea side of Star Bacon in your, refrigerator.

The body was badly mangled, thi skull being crushed and several bon broken. From the position of the body when found, it is believed Sims was standing on the lower step of the car, stooping over and looking at the sticking air brakes when the train passed over the bridge, being at once knocked unconscious and thrown over the side. Build Natatorium WHEATLAND, Wyo., July 24.—Ex- cavation on a town swimming pool at the southwest corner of the city park was begun under the direction of Messrs. Benton and Buechner, who had been appointed at the last meet- ing of the Lions club to devise ways and means. The pool will be provided with both inlet and outlet connections with canal No. 2, which will assure live water. The dimensions will be 100x200 feet, with a depth range from three to ten feet. <= BRITISH NAVY INCREASE TO BE OPPOSED LONDON, July 24.—(By The Asso- ciated Press..—J. Ramsay McDonald, leader of the opposition in the House of Commons, today moved a resolu- tion deprecating the increasing ex- penditures in military preparations,| which he asserted formed the begin- ning of another race for armament. He urged the government immediate steps to call an inter- national conference for the limitation of armaments.

NEW YORK, July 24. — United ifornia, boomed by his friencs for the Republican presidential nomination in 1924, returned from a tour of Europe Monday on the Leviathan, refusing to indicate to reporters or the crowd who gathered to greet him whether his hat was in the ring.
