Our esteemed friend, the Riverton Chronicle, has donned its war paint, forsaken its accustomed path- way of peace and hit the war trial. A perusal of the article that follows will inform the public just why our friend is belligerent. As to the merits of the case we are not informed, all these things complained of, having been, done and henpenst, previous to our return to the task of regulating the affairs of the world and erp Meg open uestions. However, when as good a as the micle dares us to give as good a town as Riv- erton publicity, even though the matter casts some aspersions upon ourselves, our institutions and our fair city, the very first thing we do is to ac- cept the challenge and let the chips fall where they cockeyed please. The Chronicle’s editorial follows and is in words and language towit: “Casper is the biggest town in the state of Wyo ming at this time in point of pa and prob- ably in the way of business but it is with regret that it must be acknowledged that from at least one point of view it is the smallest and that is with regard to the misinformation that is handed out to tourists who are unforunate enough to go to the headquarters of the Casper Chamber of Com- merce, “At Oasper the tourist is told that he must reach Riverton by way of Lander. At both Casper and Lander the tourist is informed that there are no hotel accommodations at Riverton. The truth of the matter is that there is no hotel either in Casper it is proposing that all the states on streams the headwaters of which originate in Wyoming shall negotiate a compact between themselves and with the federal government for the definition and con: firmation of their respective rights. “The list of states thus affected includes Mon- tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, in addition to North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebrasku, Kan- sas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tenne- ssee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Colorado, Utah, Ari- zona, Nevada and California. “The Wyoming proposal unanimously passed both houses of the legislature and received the gov: ernor’s approval. “The idea is an enlargement of the Colorado ba- sin compact, comprising only Wyoming, Colorad New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah. The Colorado basin compact was authorized by an brates Raiser wee constituted a commis- sion of w! ecretary Hoover is chairman, and including comfissioners from the seven affected states. The commissioners agreed upon a division of the waters of the Colorado river and the agree- ment has been ratified by the legislatures of all the states in the compact with the exception of Ari- zona, “It was a task of magnitude to bring the federal government and seven states into this compact, and Wyoming's proposal to start negotiations for this vastly greater region of twenty states, a number of which lie Bevend the Mississippi, is herculean, if not insuperable, “The Wyoming offer has more than academic in- terest in the Pacific northwest.. The officers and directors of the Columbia Basin Irrigation league Haye Reet \Soneldeins a counter-compact to the Jolorado river basin agreement to com; je Wyo- ming, Montana, Idaho, Washington Fig te But the subject goes beyond mere irrigation and includes the use of these Western waters for power irrigation and domestic purposes. “The problem is of in complexity and should receive the thoughtful conpderetiaint the governors of the four northwestern states, the leg- islature and.the public.” Wages and Prices The New York Herald presents some interesting figures showing what the farmer’s bushel of wheat at 76 cents would purchase in 1912 and what, at the 80 cents he receives for it, it will purchase today. In other words the price of wheat is reduced to terms of commodities. “He bought a heavy weight buffalo flannel shirt in 1912 for two and one-half bushely of wheat; to- day he pays five bushels. He bought a pair of heavy work shoes in 1912-for four bushels of wheat; today they cost him five bushels. He bought| a pair of overalls in 1912 for anywhere from a) bushel of wheat to half a bushel; today they cost him more than two and one-half bushels. Four pound all wool blankets 60 by 80 inches; cost the farmer 7.6 bushels of wheat a pair in 1912; their present price is 10.8 bushels. The farmer could buy a dozen pairs of work socks in 1912 for 1.2 bushels of wheat; today he has to lay out 2.6 bushels. When it comes to farm machinery and implements the wheat farmer has not made out any better than he has with his clothes.” The farmer who bought in 1912 was when the tariff law of 1909 (the Payne law) was in op- eration: The duty on his shirt is somewhat less under the present law than it was in 1909, and the duty on wool generally is lower under the Fordney law than it was under the Payne law. Shoes pas a duty of 15 per cent under the or ‘Lander that equals the Teton Hotel in Riverton. “At both places the tourist in informed that he ‘will not find camping accommodations at River- ton, while the truth of the matter is that neither Casper or Lander has anything to compare with ‘what Riverton offers the tourist, and that abso- lutely free of charge. At Riverton the town takes pleasure in making the stay of the tourist pleasant @nd no one ever makes an effort to hold them up in eny way. “At Casper the tourist is informed that there Is mo ‘road from Riverton to the park, while the short- est route by 35 miles runs direct from Riverton to Zwo-Gwo-Tee Pass and into the park. “This propaganda is also spread at Dubois as the poets who entered from other points is leav- dng the park. “It is quite singular that Oasper does not know that Uncle Sam has designated as a ‘k road, that road running from Riverton to ubois, to ‘Two-Gwo Tee and on into the South Entrance. “Last week alone over five hundred parties of tourists took advantage of Riverton’s accommoda- tions for the campers. They were all loud in their praise of what they found at Riverton, and with ual voice condemned the unpardonable tactics th which they came in contact while route particularly at Casper. “In another column of this paper is printed in full a letter written by Governor Fenimore Chat- terton, president of the Riverton Chamber of Com- merce, to the Secretary of the Casper Chamber of Commerce. It is the truth, every word of it, and should make those responsible for the campaign of misinformation and falsehood, ashamed to con- tinue it. But if the purveyors are absolutely lack- ing in principle hay: no understanding of civic uprightness or honor, and continue to take their orders from the same source, they will undoubtedly continue to lie for a purpose and according to or- “The Casper Tribune and the Press have always been quite ready and willing to clip from the columns of this paper news items which have then had appended to them a date line, and reprint them as special news over their own leased wires, etc., without any such thing as a credit. It is the nope of the writer that those papers will takes this ‘torial and the letter of Governor Chatterton from these columns this week, and rint them with a credit, so that tourists and others inter- ested, who might chance to see one or other of the two Casper papers, will get some truths at that! point, for at least once, “The idea of the Chamber of Commerce of a town the size of Casper being used as a tool to give out misinformation to tourists, {s beyond compre-| hension. It cannot be that the officers and em- ployes of that organization are so grossly ignor- ant of roads and other conditions within 125 miles of its offices, Then why this continuous and well planned campaign of lies, incomplete maps, wrong tully designed maps, bridges out when they are in, no road to park, no hotel accommodations, no camp} grounds when this community does provide all of | these in a manner not equalled by Casper or any other community in the whole state of Wyoming.” Wyoming's Invitation “Wyoming is sub: itting a bold and interesting invitation to the t states comprising the west the United States,” notes the Spokane Payne law. They are 85 cent under the pres- ent law, The work s probably of cotton pay a far lower duty under the Fordney law than they did under the Payne law. Agricultural ma- meen aS TAREE eT Che Casper Dally Cribune The Toonerville Trolley That Meets all the Trains Commemorating Indian Battle BASIN—Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Burnett Basin visitors on Saturday guests at the home of Mr and Mrs. Jas. I Patten. They had driven down from Ther- moepolis on Saturday and on Sunday morning proceeded on their way to Fort Fred R. Smith, which is located on the Crow Indian Reservation, at the other end of the Big Horn Canyon. Yesterday at that place there was held a celebration commemorating what is known as “The Hayfield Fight,” which took place on August 1, , or just fifty-six years ago, chinery and implements which paid a duty of from 15 to 45 per cent under the pagan law, are free under the present law, except for one or two items. The other day the census bureau published a summary of the census of manufactures for the United States for 1921. Among other matters of in- terest it was noted that in 1914 there were 177,109 manufacturing establishments employing 7,858(723 salaried employes and wage earners, salaries and wages that year totaling $5,342,157,000. In 1921 there were 196,267 establishments employing 8,084,- 505 salaried employes and wage carners to whom was paid an aggregate of $10.765,442,0U0. Here we have less than a three per cent increase in the num- ber of employes and over 100 per cent increase in the amount paid out in salaries and wages. The per capita earnings of these employes wus in 1914 about #680, In 1921 it was $1,841. But 1921 was con- sidered a poor year and there was a greut deal of part time work. The wages paid now are higher than they were then and thero are more jobs than men. That faét is youched for by the movement of help from farm to factory. Again the cost of materials in 1914 was #14,359,- 000,000 and $25,339,000,000 in 1921. And the manu- facturers undoubtedly have been paying fully ns much, if not more, for these materials during the past year. The materials in themselves have in- creased in value chiefly because of the labor neces- Si to get them to the factories, for a ton of coal or iron is only potentially valuable until labor has dug it out of the earth and transported it to its destination. Materials and wages enter into cost of and Mr, Burnett, who is the father of Mrs. Simpson, is believed to be the only living survivor of that fight. The fight resulted from an effort on the part of Sioux, Cheyenne and Indians to wipe out the Settlers at that place and the soldiers at the fort. ‘Tho little band of nine civilians and ten soldiers were able to hold their own and after a fight which lasted all day long foynd themselves victor- fous over the hundreds of Indians who had gought to kill or capture them. A monument was dedicated yester- @ay to the men who lost their lives in that memorable fight. Mr. Burnett, who was about 22 years of age at the time of the fight was employed at that time by a con- tractor who was putting up hay from the meadow where the fight occurred. iB? ede Will Drill Well OSAGE—F. W. Mondell will put down a test well on his land, section 30-47-68, on a location a mile and a quarter northeast of Clay spur. Mr. Mondell has 600 acres in this tract that has never been leased for mineral rights, altho the Clay Spur Ol] com- pany have leased and have some com- pleted wells on another part of his land. Thig test will be made on the high- production and selling price. Possibly a hint is conveyed as to some reasons for higher prices. Americanism in (Tariffs ‘When ono attempts to discuss the tariff question he immediately lays himself open to the charge of arguing partisan politics. The tariff question is a business proposition and not a political issue. Wage and working condiiton are the biggest fac- tors in establishing the price of practically all com- modities. A publisher knows from experience that if he pays union wages and works on an eight- hour day he has to get a certain price for his ad- vertising which twenty years ago would have been considered outrageously high and yet the present wage which he pays and price which he charges for his advertising is the reflection of increases all along the line in every commodity.If a foreign news paper produced with labor paid from one-half to one-third of what the American publisher pays and working much longer hours, could be shipped in here at half the price for advertising and subscrip- tion rates, it would leave the American publisher in a bad fix unless the advantages the foreigner thus had were equalized by some form of tax as- sessed against him when he entered this field. Many industries find themselves in just such a po- sition as the publisher would be under such con- ditions. The result has been the tariff. There have un- doubtedly been unjust tariff laws enacted and abuses just as there are mistakes and abuses in every walk of lifo but the exception does not proye the rule wrong. The American people must learn to consider facts in regard to such questions ag the Since Wyoming is the watershed of the country tariff and realize that business principles instead of political Iog-rolling should guide in the solution of these problema, est point of the hill, a structure that Promises to be a producing area in the epinion of Mr. Mondell and others, who have passed upon its possibilities. The contract has been given to J. C. Manlove, who will spot a rig on the location in the very near future. ‘The fact that Mr. Mondell has taken ® personal interest in drilling out his lands will be good news to a number who have interests and holdings in the Clay Spur vicinity. New Rural Route BASIN—The recently approved rur- al route running south from Basin will commence August 16, A compet itive examination for the position of carrier will be held in Basin, August 11, and it is expected that a number of applicants will avail themselves of the opportunity to try for the position ‘This route means much to the people living along the line, and if found advisable, it will be made a aix times & week route some time later.

How- had been y WHY is Carnation so good with coffee? Because it has twice as much batterfat as whole milk and possesses that creamy flavor of milk purity. Its double richness imparts to coffee a taste which, thousands say, cannot be surpassed, Just 100 per cent cows’ milk, packed air-tight to keep it clean, sweet and pure until wanted, and sterilized (heated) to the point of absolute safety — that’s Carnation. Nothing is added; nothing is taken away except part of the natural water which is removed to reduce the bulk and give you doubly-rich milk in convenient-sized containers, To really know Carnation, use it in your coffee, on fruits and cereale and for all other milk and cream uses, Ask your grocer to deliver a supply teday.
