Western Tariff Meeting Hears Greeting, Emphasizing Necessity of Main- taining Proper Duties DENVER, Colo., Oct. t, 3.— (By The Associated Press). —President Calvin Coolidge, in a message read at the opening session of the Western Tariff congress here to- day declared “the obvious necessity for maintaining a proper measure of protection to American industry and production in the face of chaotic industrial conditions fol- lowing the war has unquestionably brought us nearer to a national soli- rity on this issue.” The president's message as made public by officials of the congress lows: “To the tion. ‘My greetings and sincerest good wishes to the Western Tariff Asso- ciation at the opening of its con- Western Tariff Assocla- ference. I have been much pleased to learn of the fine prospect for a representative gathering and the helpful consideration of the subjécte come before it. I wish it were possible ta accept the cordial nvitation to be present at the con- ference, which, to my regret, it is not. I wish to extend to. those who will be gathered at this time the as- surance of my most sympathetic interest in the vigorous effort they are putting forth to bring about a broad and thorough understanding { the problems involved in the tariff question as it is presented to the country at this time. “I think it can fairly be said that there has never been a period in our country’s history when so little of sectional interest entered into the consideration of this question, The obvious necessity for maintaining & proper measure of protection to American industry and production n the face of chadtle industrial con- ditions following the war has un- questionably brought us nearly to a national solidarity on this issue. “CALVIN COOLIDGE.” Discussion of public tariff policies as they affect the progress and pros- perity of the west; adoption of a plan to remove the tariff from par- 8; volcing opposition to ision of the present tariff act at this time, and organization of a manent western tariff associa- ion are objects of the meeting. About 200 leaders of practically all industries of the west are attending. ‘ormer Governor E. M. Ammons of Colorado presided at the opening meeting. Addresses were made by Frank, J.

This makes them a powerful factor to be reckoning with it shaping our tariff policies of government, and especial- ly those schedules which affect pro- ductive industry. “The tariff is an economic ques- tion which affects the progress of the whole country, and ought not to be dependent on a partisan political m where men would be compelled © order to maintain thelr party reg- slarity to sacrifice thelr interests d those of thelr neighbors.

Van Hekken, proprietor Phone 1120 he Casper Daily Cridune HIGHWAY CONDITIONS TOLD IN DETAIL IN REPORT TODAY BY DISTRICT OFFICE IN CASPER Reports received at the third dis- trict office of the state highway department at Casper, up to 10 a. m. Wednesday, October 3, indicates the following road conditions: State Highway Route Number 11 Yellowstone highway is in fair traveling condition all the way from Cheyenne to Casper. Although muddy in places cars were making the trip in one day yesterday. Travel was resumed yesterday afternoon over the highway be- tween Casper and Waltman al- though there were detours nearly the entire distance between a point 25 miles west of Casper creek to Powder river. Near the Haskett ranch a bridge {s being t !'t which will permit travel tonight over the highway without detours all the way from Casper to Lander except | between Petrie and Sodium where the old road will be used for a few days. While there were several wash- outs between Casper and Waltman no structures of consequence were lost. Three small wooden bridges at Casper creek 25 miles out, which had been in place for many years, went out as well as portions of fills at six mile gulch, one near the gun club, one fill just west of Powder river, and a small one about four miles east of Waltman. Temporary bridges built after the former cleud bursts on the Bad Water by the Burlington and the state highway department were again washed out. The Burlington, as fast as the water in Bad Water creek recedes, are placing approach- es at Bonneville with the intention of locating another temporary bridge. This bridge will be used in connection with the Birds Eye pass route until the state highway de- partment can build a first-class pile bridge. Birds Bye pass is impass- able for cars and will be so for three or four days. It 1s reported that the Burlington will not be able to pare ere between Bonneville and polis for at least a few fae K horse stage {s operating over Birds Eye pass. State Highway Route 81—Sho- shont-Lander road. This .road is passable and said to be in fair shape most of the dit ince between these two towns. While there were some washouts on the atretch, ‘de- partment employes were able to get traffic through in 24 hours after Saturday night’s storm. State Highway Route T1—Salt Creek-Sheridan road. This route is open as far as Lavoye and beyond as far as Salt Creek stream. The 75-foot concrete and steel bridge was completely washed out by the flood waters which spread out over the full width of the Salt Creek flat and ran several feet deep over the fills at the bridge approaches. A temporary bridge will be placed im- mediately below the old site to take care of traffic promptly. The, washed out approach to Castle creek was replaced by an additional pile approach and was opened to traffic about 2 o'clock yesterday. The wooden bridge immediately north of Salt Creek was completely washed away and the channel made several times its original size. Definite re- ports from bridges across Dug Out and Long Canyon creek have not been received but with the tremend- ous rain fall in that territory it is very Ukely that bridges in these two points are washed out but it is reported that the stage was able to make it from Kaycee to Lavoye by taking the old ridge road. The state highway crosses Salt creek twice in serving the oil field interests while the old ridge road avoids Salt creek entirely. While short pile bridges carried the traffic success- fully across Salt creek for a num- ber of years previous to the placing of the 75-foot steel and concrete bridge just south of Salt Creek town it is likely that the depart- ment will now place a bridge de- signed to carry such a flood as the recent one where the storm amount- ing to cloud burst intensity fell over the entire drainage area of Salt creek and its tributaries, State Highway Route Number 41 —Orin-Lusk-Van Tassell. The re- cent storm did not affect this road seriously and no unusual damage was done. State Highway Route Number 30 —Lusk-Newcastle road. The storm was much lighter in this section and no damage has been reported. While the recent storm did con- siderable damage in this district to highways, as well as an immense amount of damage to railroads, con- ditions are not so serious on the highways as was first feported. ‘The most serious loss apparently is the 75-foot structure across Salt creek bridge just west of Casper. A very serious loss to the depart- ment and perhaps to the Standard Oll company was averted by the prompt response of the Standard Oi! company of Indiana to an appeal for aid from the state highway de- partment at 4 o'clock ‘Saturday morning. The response of the com- Pany with all their resources cer- tainly saved the north approach to the Platte river bridge and stopped further wash at the east end of the Casper creek bridge.
