eet 3UNDAY, JANUARY 3, 1926 OPEN IN STATE All but Higher Eleva- tions Can Again Be Traveled By SPARK PLUG, Though. some snow still lays in spots on the highways, reports from many sections of the state seem to indicate that all main roads with the exception of those passing through locations of high elevations are again open for motor travel and Uttle the worse from their week's purial beneath several inches of snow. The Yellowstone © highway, chief sufferer in the recent blizzard, has suffered no damage and it is now possible to get through to Chey- enne or Denver with little difficulty. The. West Yellowstone highway to ‘Thermopolis and Billings ig in excel- lent shape and baring another snow storm, motorists from Casper may spend the week-end in Thermopolis whenever they choose. The Salt Creek road is in falr shape when the sround frozen but rapidly assumes the appearance of a slough when the sun shines too warmly and what snow still remains on the ground runs in rivulets in the ruts. From Salt Creek north to Sheridan the highway 1s reported to be in only fair condition. ‘The Casper Mountain road is in shape to take local folks as far as Garden Creek by motor car, where they will find sufficent snow for coasting, skiing, snow shoe work, and any other winter sports which may come to mind. Unless another serious blizzard descends on the state there is little Ikelihood that the main highways will be completely blocked again this winter. Experience has taught Wyoming motorists that the middle of January usually brings an end to severe storms and unusual cold. > — Snow Plows For Roads Increase By J. ©. ROYLE. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—More shovels will be swung and more snow plows operated over the high- ways and streets of the United States this winter than ever before. Preparations already have been completed in most sections for keep ing the roads clear for traffic. Snow handling machinery fas been placed in the best of condition and labor supplies have been arranged for, ¥0 far as possible. Scores of miles of snow fences have been erected in the sections between New England and Virginia, where the snow 1s inclined to drift. In addition to motor plows, big buses will be run if necessary to break the roads through. In Penn- sylvania, all main highways were opened within 36 hours last winter and the road departments of the state and of the counties expect to break that record this year. ‘Theso preparations all are due pri- marily to the automobile and the motor bus. Bus traffic today is heavier than at any time in the his- tory of transportation. Companies are operating on schedule and they will have the agsistance of local au- thorities n maintaining those sched- ules. Movement of freight is grow- ing more dependent upon the high- ways and weather conditiong will not be allowed to interfere with’ de- ltvery. Drink Hillerest Water. Phone 1151.

After driving to the other shore of Long Island, they find themselves aboard a yacht with Pooch, Doc, McTish and Sweetie, all strangers to them. There is much talk of boot- leggers and pursuits by revenue offi- cers. CHAPTER LX—Continued Connemara was obedient, and watch. ed Sweetie, fascinated, the girl shook out the ample breadths of the nun’s rcbe. “Lot's of stuff here, even if it is kinda ragged out. Lis- ten—I'm going to cut you a new dress, a one-piece slip, and sew It together so you'll look human. You can’t go around! here with all this mess flapping round your feet, spe cially when you got such good look- ing feet. Lemme hold this up to you. e, you certainly got swell underclo’es.”” She held the etuff against Conne- mara, and then hacked away at it boldly. She selzed the needle and thread, and made stitches so swift that Connemara’s eyes could not fol. low them. She was fiercely concen- trated and did not speak, except once, to murmur, #Gee, this brings “Flashes from the masthead!’ back the days at Madame’s."’ Connemara, watching her, realized that Sweetie was really a very pret- ty girl, and that with her bold ban- dit manner la{d aside she was rather a nice one with considerable strength of character in her features. It took Sweeties hardly halt an hour to do her work. She st sod up and slipped the garment sic had made over Connemara’s head. She tore off a long strip of the stuff that was left and tied it deftly about her waist. “’Course I haven't hemmed it but fringe around the bottom of Wellington & Hogue, Inc. “The Pioneer Radiator and Welding Shop in Casper” SERVICE CAR the skirt js good enough style.

The little box that had held the sewing materials yielded several big pins, regular man's size spikes of pins. Conne- mara tucked the ends of the strip under at the side and secured them with two of these pins. A pin on the other side, and one in front held the rest of the turban perfectly taut and trim, “There, do she said to you think of it?” was moved to genuine ad “Kid, you're there!” she “If you didn't get into a nybody’d say you loo! ion dollars, T bonnet I've seen in a Sweetie, Sweetie miration. aimed, ong Nght ke a mi niftiest ex t's the thou t ejacu following the fixed ¥ he looked around for the cause McTish was again bending over his engine; Pooch and Doc were still lying hog-tied forward.
