1 MR. CARTER HERE TO
SELL "LAUREL HILLS"
Mr. D. V. Carter, originally of j
Ohio, but for several years a real
estate dealer in the various resort,
cities and towns of the south, es- .
pecialiy in North Carolina, is here! ,
and will handle the "Laurel Hills*'
property just beyond the city limits
which has been under development
since last January. Mr. Clark isj :
field manager and Mr. Caller will'
j open an office oh the property and '
, look after the soles department, j |
v^uite a uumner ol solicitors are in i .
: the field, and it is the opinion of Mr.!1
; Carter that only a few weeks will be!
' necessary to close it all out. He is | ,
most highly pleased wit'; the outj
look, and is decidedly of the opinion ; 1
! that this lovely section is getting on}'
| the map good and strong. (.
. Aside from being a business man
' of years ;>f experience, Mr. Carter is
| a very pleasant gentleman, an inter;
esting talker. We are glad to see him
here, and hope his fondest hopes, as
to his business outlook, may be realized.
OLD OREGON TRAIL FADING
BEFORE NATURE IN WYOMING
Nature with her n^arks of time,
| says a Xemmercr, Wyo., dispatch,
j is erasing from southwestern WvomI
ing the old Oregon trail?that road,
which meant the building of a western
empire, with its many tales of
heroism against* redskfnned foes, the
tragedy of lost lives of pioneers and
the indomitable courage of the early
settlers of the west.
The old Oregon trail extdnded
across southwestern. Wyoming for
100 miles from t'he Big Sandy river
at Pacific Springs to Cokevilie on the
Bear river on the Idaho boundary.
But the old trail is passing.
Now sagebrush covers the old road
1 which once rumbled with the wheels
! of the covered wagon. In many places
, the barbed wire fences of the ranches I
! have broken across tlu- trail and in
j the space left, unbroken only an oc|
casional sheep rancher's wagon trav1
els.
Memory of the trail is to be pre'
served by a highway, to be known as
| the "Old Oregon Trail," across Wyoming
from Granger to Cokeville, and
then to Portland, Ore., but; the new
road does not. follow the original path
of the "covered wagon" caravans.
HOME TOWN BOOSTERS
Dead towns have no tales to toil.
Lik< mother, cvoiy one's hbmc
>\ ri ought to b<e the best on earth.
Work for, boost up, anile iipoVs, {
dd own, i ad a in, and love always
,t!ie home town.
A i: vp'ckei is a mortgage on bis
homo town, and every other citizen
is paying, interest on him.
The fellow Who says his home
town is dead is speaking rather irrovcntly
of himself and his neighbors.
fThe sixth sense is the sense of
boosting things that are good and
forgiving things that are not good.
The home town newspaper is the
loudspeaker for the community, and
it costs but a trifling sum a year to
tune in.-?Exchange.
Well! Well!
Mistress?"You may have this hat
iHiuie, my nusoana says it don't look

my hoy friend don't like it on mo
