Durham to the governorship of the Colorado- Wyoming district of Kiwanis is a great step toward solidifying the clubs of the two states and destroy- ing state lines, according to Kiwan- fan Harry Enix of Denver who was present at the luncheon of the Casper Kiwanis club today. The Denverite paid a splendid tribute to Mr. Durham and to the Casper club. “The model district to work toward,” said the district governor when ca'led upon to speak. Mr. Durham was hailed with rising acclamation. Reports on the convention re- cently held in Cheyenne took up part of the luncheon period today. It was brought out in one of the reports that the Kiwanis club 1s not @ luncheon club and Is possessed of a function much greater than merely getting a group of men to- gether for a social hour. The Kiwanis work among the under privileged children will be stressed in the future. ‘The Rev. James W. Kramer was @ guest at the luncheon today. Dr, Kramer spoke on ‘“Honest-toGod Men.” His lecture though neces- sarily brief because of lack of time was forceful and convincing. Brotherhood such as Kiwanianism stands for and such as the church stands for was an important phase ef his argument. “Big Jim" ex- tended an invitation to the Kiwanis club to attend his sermon at the Baptist church tomorrow night at which time he will take the trinity of the home as his subject.

FIFTEEN-MILE EVENT TO TOP People familiar with the automo- mile racing game in the middle west and the Rocky Mountain region will recognize that in the card lined up |for tho rodeo grounds next Sunday afternoon by the Wyoming Racing association there is a wealth of high class talent. Brinkler, Bullock, Rhiley and Deu- len are all kings of the half mile jtracks in thetr own bailiwicks and ‘this is the first timo the quartet !have been gotten together to settle | the issue of which is the best man. In addition to these men there, are a dozen other drivers, who while not having as dig reputations, are rac jing men of the first water. Don't be among those unfortun- ates who, when next Monday morn- ing rolls around will be forced to exclaim “You did? Why I had no {dea you would have such a good time. And to think that I stayed at home all day without a blessed thing to do.” You will undoubtedly use those words or others to a like effect if you allow yourself to miss Sparky's excursion to Hell’s Half Acre next Sunday.

Nichols, in command of the liner. The message was re- ceived September 1 and about 11 o'clock we received a radio from the Osaka Mainchi station that com- munication with Yokohama had been broken. They intimated that an earthquake and possibly some great disaster had overtaken that section and requested further information “We began calling Yokohama by jradio and other stations and ships but received no answer, although we continued this all night. |, “As we were approaching Yoko- hama on the night of September 2, | we observed the sky was red ex- tending for many miles over Yoko- hama and the entire peninsula and far to the south. “The lights were not burning on the breakwater, but we entered | Tokio bay at midnight by moonlight. | Yokohama was a seething mass of flames. It was then we got the first real information of the great catastrophe that has stricken that section. | “We immediately launched our jlife boats and began rescue work jand the harbor was one scene of ‘pandemonium as the hundreds, yes, thousands of small craft carried on their work of taking those alive to the ships, “With only 80 hours water on | board, as we had planned to take | water at Yokohama, we returned to Kobe, carrying as many refugees as we could handle—many needing medical attention which was given them by our ship's surgeon. “We received refugees from many of the ships in the harbor and then returned to Kobe with a complete load, our fe boats being pressed into service and all our crew was busy for hours in the relief work. ‘It was pitiable to see the thous- ands of injured and wounded, many being so badly burned that we cou'd |not assist them. The scene was one of indescribable horror, Hun- dreds of stretcher cases were on ‘FUCHS COMPANY STAGES OALE OF WINTER FURS ‘The Fuchs company is staging a sale of furs of every description for two days only, Friday and Saturday.

THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., Sept. 13. —lIt is understood that people living in towns along the Rocky Mountain highway leading to. the southern entrance of Yellowstone park and | others living along Yeliowstone high- way leading into the eastern en- trance are clamoring loudly for a state or federal law or ruling that ‘will make it a misdemeanor to mis- represent a highwa; During the tourist season just closed the chambers of commerce of Lander and Riverton, Framont county, established an information bureau at the junction point tn the highway between Shoshoni and Bonneville where the road from Cas- per leads in. The bureau was in charge of a man who was paid for directing as much travel as possible into the southern entrance, accord ing to statements of the chambers of commerce of Thermopolis and other towns in the Basin country. | This infogymation bureau was doing business only a few days until the chambers of commerce of Cody, Greybull, Basin, Worland and Ther- mopolis combined their forces and | established another bureau of the | same kind just across the road from | the Lander-Riverton outfit, the man jin charge of the latter established tourist directing institution singing the praises of the eastern entrance to Yellowstone park. For awhile a merry war was threatened and some whopping stories were broadcasted regarding the goodness and badness of the roads to both these entrances to Yellowstone park. Just when it appeared that a con- filct in earnest could not be avoided, rature took a hand, the floods broke loose, the country in the vicinity of the information bureaus was de- vastated for miles and highways in every direction were put out of business. Many tourists headed for Yellowstone park, hearing exagger- ated stories of the flood, beat it back to their homes or changed the direction of their tour leaving the information bureaus fighting for a tourist trade that had fallen away to a skeleton of its former self. Now the people living along the roads leading to both these en- trances to Yellowstone park claim that their tourist business has been affected because of the condition of the highways being misrepresented and they are seriously considering a law that will fine a man or put | him in jail for misrepresenting the condition of highways. According to those who have had experience with tourists road. con- ditions are much a matter of the mind. What one traveler will refer to as a “devil” of a road another will smile at and say it isn’t so bad —not half as bad as some other road he has been over. Even state | reports, where efforts at impartlality are made, are not always accurate | because frequently those who report the condition of highwnys to state bureaus are not adverse to making long guesses or taking it for granted j that everything is all right. $682 DONATED TO RELIEF BY CASPER PUBLIC | The total of the Red Cross drive in Casper for the Japanese relict fund at 3 o'clock this afternoon amounted to $682.45, $91 having been taken in today.
