“Two Bits a Flop,’1 and they have
to turn ’em away at that.
I ran into “Buck” Buchanan, ex
Alaskar., and he gave me the price
list of drinks, but the high cost of
the “cheer up" dope does not seem
to jar tho bunch, as you have to
wait your turn at the bar (so I
have been informed.)”
Beer is 15 cents a glass, whisky
25 cents and a fancy drink costs
45 cents. A long thirst would
come high in Casper.
You never have seen so many
automobiles-on one street as here.
They are mostly big $5,000 boats
and the original color has not been
seen since the car was wheeled out
of the gargage the day it was pur
chased. The Big Muddy has got
its work on every one of them.
A trip to Salt Creek costs you
the price of a fliver, and a truck
driver charges $65 a ton to deliver
a load on the grounds from Cas

The streets are wide and well
paved so far as they go, then you
must bid fond friends goodby if
they start to the Midwest refinery.
You get into mud holes up to the
hubs, a trail rough that it shakes
the collar buttons out.
Earl hanway of the Tribune
turned his big glass auto over to
Jim Parker and myself and said it
was ours so long as we stayed in
the town. Joe Kinney and Billie
Harris were our guides and what
we missed was later pointed out to
us by Dave Ewald of Salt Lake.
Houses are so scarce that as soon
[ as the lumber is unloaded on the

A. J. Maxwell, a building con

saw a board or hit a nail on the

scarce at that price.
