The other three cruisers, the Boston, Chicago and New Or- Jeans, were anchored safely today at Chignik, following thet arrival ‘Tuesday under the temporary lead- ership of Lieutenant Erik H. Nelson. A crack in the crank case of the cruiser Seattie, causing a leakage Tells How By JUNE HADDAWAY _ (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEWARK, N, J., April 17.—Tanko Sokolowsk!, window washer, who has just stepped up into the ranks of plutocracy by purchasing a $100,- 100 apartment house in which some of his employers live, celebrated his new status as a landlord today—by washing a few windows. The writer found him, a fly-like figure, high up the side of a New- ark office building. He was doing fome ninth floor windows, with a Btrap around his waist to keep him from hurling into the street below. Sokolowski was a very busy man as he has been all of his eleven years fn the window washing business. But finally, by dint of {nsistent signalling, he was induced to come down from ‘his perch and tell how you go about becoming a landlord. fhe formula is very simple: Work hard; have your wife work hard; don’t drink; don't smoke; shun the movies; go\to bed nights; earn all you can, spend as little as you ran—and you'll always have money in what would be your old tobacco ox, if you smoked. Sokolowski is a thin lttle man, ‘who hails from Ukrainia, He said he was 37, but it would have been easier to believe he was 50. Since he came to America in 1913, settling at once in Newark, he has never been further from home than East Orange, The only time he ever saw New ‘York was when he was landed there. Sometime before he dées he thinks he may visit the big city, but he showed no immediate urge to do so. “New York far away—cost much money” he explained. LARAMIE PING NEW HOPES 10 RICH MINERALS Significance of Late Strikes Told at Big Dinner. LARAMIE, Wyo., April 17.—Pilat- inum, palladium and gold were the principal topics of discussion at a dinner here last night attended by more than 100 reprementative men of Albany county. The speakers were Albert Bartlett, state geologist; B. P. McCarty, mining engineer and professor in the school of mines at the University of Wyoming, and Dr. A. G. Crane, president of the university. A. J. Hull, member of two companies operating in the Centennial district, where platinum ‘was discovered last fall presided. Both McCarty and Bartlett sound- ed a note of the highest optimism, the former stating that it was un- doubtedly one of the greatest min- ing discoveries in the history of the world, certainly in that of the Untt ed States. He told in detatl how he hat vertfied the presence of plat- inum and palladium in the ore sam ples submitted from time to time by prospectors. Nickel, he said, was present in small quantities but not confused with the precious metals Bartlett, reporting, publicly for the first time on his tour of inspec tion {n the Centennial district said at one point in his address: “The eyes of the world are now fo- cused on Wyoming as the result of the discovery of platinum in the Centennial district. as this is be Ileved to be the only location in the ‘world where platinum is known to Window Washer With Big New $100,000 Apartment ocour In any quantity in vet.

OS Bidg. was sent out by Lieutenant Nelson at Chignik by wireless and two United States destroyers, the Corry and Hull, retraced their routes off Seward in search of the lost plane. The destroyers arrived at the scene early yesterday and the Hull took Major Martin and his mechanic- jan aboard, together with the air cruiser, and brought them to Kana tak. It Is Done His only recreation at present, So- kolowski said, 1s going to church on Sunday with his wife and four chil- dren. The rest of the time he works, eats and sleeps. “He has never taken @ vacation—that would have cost him two weeks income. f Sokolowski gave much of the credit for his success to his thrifty wife. And Mrs. Sokolowski modest- ly admitted that maybe Tanko was right. For instance, she points out, in tones that carried above the cla mor of her four children, that she herself had been a landlord for sev- eral years. She bought and owns in fee simple, whatever that means, the house in which the Sokolowskis live and parts of which they rent to five other families. “We married in Newark 11 years ago” si aid briefly summing up her Ife. “Until babies come I work hard every day—wash, iron, cook and cleafi in houses of fine ladies, When I come home nights you think I spend money for candy? No, I hide it in bank. I earn big money— $26 a month, I save it—for my children,” Mrs, Sokolowsk! paused to grbi- trate, an issue that had arisen among the children and then re- turned. “My husband good man's’ she concluded. ‘He come home at night, never drink, smoke, never want to run around. We eat dinner, take cup of coffee and go to bed. Why go to the movies? They hurt my eyes. Why go to New York? Trol- ley cars make me sick. We work hard all day and at night we tired. We go to bed.” IRPLANE EAGTER IDEALS AND IRRIGATION ARE DoGUSoED Kiwanis Club Enjoys Excellent Program At Luncheon. A talk by the Rev. R. R. Hild brand on the relationship existing between Kiwanis ideals and Easter and a discussion of the Casper-Al- cova irrigation project were the fea- tures of the luncheon of the Casper Kiwanis club today. The Rev. Hildebrand summed up briefly the inspiring ideals of the organization of which he is a mem- ber and showed -where in every man owes a duty to those with whom he comes in contact, and especially to his children. A legacy of char- acter is much greater than a legacy of material wealth in the opinion of the speaker and every man should make an effort to stand by right principles rather than to give his family every material advantage that the members may desire, The speaker spoke of the ‘critics of present day life, those who claim that the modern girl, and modern boy are purely frivolous. “He dis- countenaficed such ideas but spoke of a greater peril, that of a strictly intellectual and materialistic pro- gress without a corresponding moral advance. He questioned the ability of man to handle with safety the new forces that are constantly he- ing realized in the physical world. Previous to the Rev. Hilderbrand’s speech, A. M. Gee, district trustee, read a mesaage from the district governor of California, The message set forth the necessity for faith in the principles of a democratic form of government despite the facts that certain agents of such a government may have violated their trust. M. P. Wheeler of the Casper Ro- tary club and Burke H. Sinclair of the Lions were the four-minute speakers sent to discuss the Casper irrigation project. Mr. Wheeler took up the purely economic phase, deal- ing with the things which could be raised on the large acreage coming under the project. Eight million dollars worth of ‘produce could be gotten from the land if rightly farm- ed, according to Mr. Wheeler. This is approximately Casper’s pnesent payroll. General Sinclair took a glimpse into the future and emphasized the need for replacing the wasting oil industry with another industry that will keep Casper progressive, ‘The Kiwanis, Rotary, and Lions clubs owe it to their community to support this thing,” he said. Mrs. T. J. Riach today played two violin solos for the entertainment of the members. She was accom- panied by Stanley Griebel. Lenten Service Set The lenten service in the Rialto theater today was largely attended. Rev. Jos. P. Jacobs was the speaker and a male quartet from the Baptist church sang, accompanied by Ed. Flinn. This closes the meetings of the week that have been held in the Rialto. Tomorrow there will be a Good Friday service in the Methodist church, corner of Hast Second and South Durbin street: It will begin at noon and last until 3 p. m. Any one may come and go at their con- venience, but many will remain for the whole service.

Phone 1993-J 121 East First Street ARIGATION FEATURED BY GASPER LIONS Meeting Last Evening Taken Up With Two Addresses, ‘Wednesday evening's session of the Casper Lions club resolved itself into an irrigation session with the reading of an announcement from Senator Warren that steps had been taken to bring ‘the Casper project to the attention of congress, and ad- dresses by W. F. Wilkerson and Chas, A. Cullen, four-minute speak- ers appointed by the chamber ‘of commerce. : Mr. Wilkerson emphasized the need of the Casper-Alcova project to. guarantee the permanence and fu- ture of the city, The speaker held Oat the belief that the oil fields con- tiguous to Casper would continue large production for 25 years but pointed out the benefitssthat would accrue from the irrigation of 90,000 acres of land adjacent to the city. Much time will be’ consumed in bringing the project to materializa- tion and the movement should re- ceive a determined start now, he said, Casper must and will realize its irrigation program, according to Mr, Wilkerson, but the idea must be “sold" by everyone and become the goal of central Wyoming if speedy action ts obtained. Natrona county’s right to a ma- terial share of the oll royalties pour- ing into the reclamation fund was stressed by Mr. Cullen, in which he declared that in applying these funds to reclamation work in this county means merely the transfer of a na- tural resource inherited by this re- gion to a new location, The ac- quisition of a portion of these royal- ties will reduce the cost of the land to the settler and thereby make it feasible, It can be brought about only by the united action of the com- munity in electing to office men pledged to give their undivided sup- port to the irrigation program. Lions from the Wyoming and Mon tana district who attend the national convention at Omaha in June, wiil be asked to wear five-gallon hats and riding boots, typical of the old west. The suggestion was made by Gen- eral Burke H, Sinclair, district gov- ernor, and accepted unanimously by the Casper Lions. It was announced that no less than 40 would attend Just as George B, De Long of New York and Robert L. Colman of San Francisco were nearing the end of a Mediterrane..n tour, they were killed on the Tirana-Scutart highway. The double murder was attributed to highwaymen who in- fest the back country of the moun- tainous and sparsely settled coun- try. .De Long and Colman had remained chums since their col- lege days. The former had just retired trom the real estate busin- ess and Colman was a well known California financier. Mrs. De Long, who first husband was Richard P. Lounsbery, ts the daughter of the late James Ben All Haggin, mining magnate. She was to have joined De Long in London. Casper Mirror Works We are at red to take cave of any sized order.
