PROTESTS AGAINST RAILROAD PERMIT ARE INTRODUCED AT HEARING TODAY IN SHERIDAN SHERIDAN, Wyo., Feb. 6.—With the nearing today of the petition of the Wyoming railroad company for an extension into the Billy Creek oil field the session of the Montana and Wyoming railroad ent public utilities as agents of the Interstate Commerce Commission is expected to end, The Hearing of the North and South railroad company, whose tracks now are being constructed from Miles City, Montana, to Cas- per, Wyoming, was ended late yes- terday, with no official indication of the recommendation to be made. The Wyoming railroad company, whose tracks now run from an in- tersection with the Burlington rail- road at Clearmont to Buffalo, 40 miles distant, seeks permission for an extension of its tracks for 18 miles into the Billy Creek Oil field, developed within the last year, in its hearing. Evidence introduced at Tuesday's hearing of the North and South rallroad’s petition virtually was a repetition and amplification of the first day’s evidence. The North and South placed 14 witnesses on the stand who gave testimony concern- ing the resources of the region through which the railroad is to pa Willis Stidger of Casper, attorney for the Wyoming Business men's Association, introduced a witness with photographs which he said were of the North and South tracks between Salt Creek and Illco, claim- ing they showed the traeks to be unsafe for traffic. D. C. Fenster- maker, chief engineer of the road, declared the pictures were taken north of Lavoye, where the road was not completed, The commission refused to allow them as evidence. Stldger outlined the stand of his employers as being owners of a §3.- 000,000 investment in truck lines running between Salt Creek and Casper, with which the new railroad will compete. The remaining evidence was in- troduced by the railroad compeny with the apparent purpose of con testing claims of C. M. Taintor, New York ranchman who owns jarge block of land along the pro- posed right of north the Wyoming-Montana line, who was an intervenor at the hearing. G. W. Farr of Miles city, an at- torney for the North and South rail- road, declared in testimony that Mr, Talntor is avoiding service of legal Papers in a condemnation suit pend- ing against him for right of way through his land. » J.

No opposition appeared at the hearing of the Wyoming railroad, seeking permission to extend its line from Buffalo to Billy Creek oll field. Izaac B. Smith, directine man- ager, was on the stand most of the time this morning. He asserted that if his railroad’s petition is not grant- ed and the North and South rail- road is completed successfully, his railroad must go out of business. Lee Dennis, member of the Mon- tana railroad commission acting as chairman ofthe hearing, declared the North and South railroad “had a very good case,” but would give no other indication as to what the recommendation of the session to the interestate commerce commis- sion would be. It will be delayed, however, until the Wyoming Public utilities board had reviewed the ev- idence, he indicated.

The total burden of this collection has been handled by the regular employes of the treasury department without addi- tional compensation, and without any additional employes. Tho legis- lature made no provision for ex- penses in connection with the col- lection of this tax. Tribune Used As State Reference In School ' Work The educational value of The Tribune Industrial edition which has been attracting more than state wide attention has not been overlooked by those who have the instruction of school children of Wyoming as their duty.

There are those who regard Wilson as the greatest inter- national figure America has ever Produced. When a president dies there are always eulogies which seck to rank him with Washington and Lincoln. Some of the qualities of leadership which both these great men had Were undobutedl® present in the Wilson personality, but after all he was different from any other man who ever sat in the White House. He was a unique figure in Am- erican’ history, a puzzle to his friends, a thorn in the side of his enemies, man of irrepressible fighting spirit, a fearless and dar- ing statesman whose works will re- veal upon analysis many mistakes, But, at this hour these are all sub- merged in the human reaction and sympathy for the little group who kept vigil night and day for four and a half years., The faithful physician, wife and, friends who never missed an-opportunity to re- new their expressions of loyalty and devotion and to show him that the defects of the past had not lessened their belief in the ultimate triumph of his ideals, As dramatié as scenes of his troub- led life, were those at his death. Kneeling crowds, sympathetic for the great spirit in its slow flicker of life's flame; his readiness to meet the end at the cohclusion of a per- iod of nearly three years of almost unbroken silence on public ques- tions; his dignified attitude toward Harding dnd Coolidge; not a word of criticism of them and no effort to interfere in congressional con- troversies, It makes the closing chapter of Woodrow Wilson's life a vivid contribution to world his- tory, His forbearance and re- straint, his unalterable views were to the end maintained. He sub- mitted his case when he left the White House in March, 1921, after eight years of service. On that record he was willing to depart to eternity, leaving it to his followers who survive to carry on the battle for which he gave his life.
