Has the highway commis- sion of Wyoming paused to figure the expense they are daily placing upon the peo- ple of the Salt Creek oil field and the people of Casper, in the one item alone, the dam- age and cost of repairs to cars that have gone in the ditch because of the condi- tion of the road from the end of the paving to the field? Accuraie reports of the number of cars that have gone into the ditch and been rendered helpless to proceed, place the number at from fifteen to twenty. One par- ticular car that met with mi fortune, sank into the mud to the top of its fenders. For cars: have floundered over they have escaped going into Taetend of Fike tare Ramee oO tas half required if the for travel.

There is no means of know- ing the number of Casper cars thet make frequent trips to the field, but it is safe to fay, ax many as come from the other end. Here is an immense volume of traffic. entitled to consideration, and under the vresent circum- rtances entitled to considera- tion immediately. More than a yaer ago, a solemn promise was given to both Caaner and oil field rep- resentatives, that upon com- pletion of paving to its pres- ent limits, the remainder of the highway would be Promptly graded, ditched and graveled so as to insure a.travelable road the year round. This promise was civen by highway officials on behalf of the commission, and it 8 well understood, and relied upon. Now the commission is called upon to redeem its pledge. The gravel is at hand at convenient location and the} same amount of labor re- qui on grading and smoothing crews, can be turned to graveling crews and the work speedily ac- camnlished. _ Will the highway commis. sion come alive and grant the relief so sorely needed? Walter Dudley, County Pensioner, Is Trapped by.Flames in Small Shack . on West Second Early Today. Trapped by flames in his one-room shack on West Second ‘street, Walter Dudley, 70-year-old county pen- ioner, was burned to death battled in vain to reach him. Dudley’s house, which is o: this morning while \Tescuers n the alley in the 800 bldéck on West Second, was.burning furiously when the engine crew of Station No. Two, summoned by phone, reached the spot. Neigh- bors already had assembled, but their efforts to penetrate beyond the door were repulsed by the flames. When the blaze Itad been quenchd suffi- ciently. to permit firemen. to enter. the aged man’s body, charred) and lifeless, was found huddled against the wall.

He announced today that, the, funeral probably would be held this after- noon. So far as could be learned, Dudley had no relatives. Neighbors were able to tell little about him. The fire is believed to have been caused by the explosion of a coal oll stove. AT MEETIN( HERE BY SUPT. H. M. ALBR Wyoming people have eve to lose by the proposed extension of Yellowstone National Ibright, superintendent of the park, told Park, Horace M. rything to gain and nothing members of the Casper Chamber.of Commerce today.

No great area of privately owned land isto be taken over, he explained Only about. 400 acres of the’ 200,000 ‘comprehended , in | the project.are in private hands, and the owners: of these areas will not suf- fer by the-change, he declared. Rane u.Who have holdings in Glaaier, Yosemite and other parks, he said, haye found that their, land has augmented in’ value, and they. protest strenuously against any sug- gestion that it be thrown out. , The proposed new boundary line of the park was briefly sketched by Mr. Albright. He showed where lands draining out of the park would be returned to ‘the state in which they naturally’ lie and other areas draining into the park and access!- ble oniy from the park would be taken in. The Big Game Ridge on the Snake river, which he described as one of the most” magnificent hunting countries in the world, would be thrown back to the state and would be open to sportsmen for the first time in a half century. Mr. Albright recalled the grie- vous devastation wrought in Jack son lake by private exploitation, and declared that only the fact that the pafk extension project was pending had preserved Jenny lake and jthe; other beauty spots of the Tetons from similar depredations. The Teton range is needed to round out Yellowstone and furnish the scenic value which the park lacks, he declared. People now are too prone to regard Yellowstone as a collection of freaks to be seen once, and are likely to’ go on to Glacier park for their real stay. Mr. Albright said that {f the ex- tension plan. should be’ adopted the park service would attempt to make the Teton country world-famous for its dude ranches and for {ts moun- council xtension plan, Mr. Albright, ‘ex-) taineering. | He Aeplored theidgoatit> ify of Jackstm ‘residents based. misapprehension, and pointed Out ‘that no part of Jackson Hole Would*be ‘absorbed and that no land now available to grazing would be taken away. In answer to questions from mem- bers of the chamber’s board of di- rectors, and guests who had been invited to meet him, Mr. Albright explained various points of park administration. He stressed through- out the assertion that the park was 2 part of Wyoming and that it was “anxious. to co-operate with the peo- ple of the state for the good of both.
