They would certainly not have headed for Robbers Roost, as did Butch Cassidy and his pal. But we still have to admit that Dutchs plan worked pretty well. Some people here contend that the famous western outlaw is buried in the old Whitmore plot southwest of town, but what become of the gold is a question long since abandoned. oc-cur- ed San-xidvocaNIWIPAPI. ta ONI COVERASI.

The story concerned information received here that an attempt would be made to take the Utah Fuel company payroll at Castle Gate by a group of Wyoming thugs. At that time wage payments were made in cash from the company office. Old timers here like nothing better than to reminisce about the now famous Castle Gate payroll robbery supposedly perpetrated by Butch Cassidy and an outlaw pal, Tom Gissel, who held up the Utah Fuel paymaster, E. L. Carpenter in April of 1897, and made off on horseback with some 87000 in gold, none of which was ever recovered. Nor were the suspects ever apprehended. The recent plot, even more daring, involved a sum ten times the $7000 stolen by the robbers. High powered cars were to be used for the According to information received through a lady friend of the plotters, plans were pretty well organized. Whether or not the robbers got a tip-oor just decided against the attempt will never be known. One thing was certain a hot reception awaited them. Indications were that an effort would be made while the money was en route to Castle Gate from the post office at Helper or shortly after it arrived at the mine office. Officers were alerted, guards were placed in and around the office building; riflemen were stationed at strategic points, and the sheriffs office arranged for a special convoy for the payroll money. Company officials who had access to the office and vaults were instructed to be not available after regular working hours. The same precautions were taken over several payroll periods, but nothing ever happened. Shortly thereafter, Kaiser purchased the Utah Fuel holdings and changed the method of paying to checks, so the opportunity of securing cash loot is now gone. No doubt it would have been the most GREEN RIVER LAW UPHELD The United States supreme court recently upheld the Green River ordinance which over 400 communities have adopted since Green River, Wyoming, passed the first one in 1931 to slam the door on solicitors. Three large associations representing the sellers of everything from Fuller brushes to encyclopedias, joined together to appeal a conviction for violation of the ordinance by Jack II. Ereard at Alexandria, Louisiana, for selling a housewife magazines without prior permission from the householder to call. The test case of the ordinance, already upheld in many state supreme courts, settles for good the constitutionality of the Green River law. Price has passed an ordinance similar to this to restrict pedThese transients pay dlers and solicitors. no taxes, seldom have any responsibility, offer nothing to the community.

These things always end up by costing much more. The state of California is fighting against the project because it claims Arizona does not own the water. The project is tops as an engineering scheme. It would lift the water twice as high as the Washington monument, convey it more than 200 miles. Incidentally, and a matter that does not bother the bureaucratic planners is the fact that the land to be irrigated is all privately owned, the taxpayers footing the bill, and crops to be raised are already and always have been, in surplus. The taxpayers will get hit another way. In its great benevolence to farmers for political reasons, the government will protect the agriculturists on prices for surplus crops, so they cant lose. Only the rest of us can lose. et In You can pay mo re- but you cant buy better! an sure can settle him.
