2. Renewed search for the whereabouts if Mrs. Clara Fhillips, Shammer hilircTeress-iKo escaped from the Los Angeles county jail December 5, centered today around a note iound about 100 feet from a cabin in a lonely canyon near Los Angeles where, sheriff's depu OAREVUOIGES APPREGlATIOn gfj FAOEWELL Today I am about to put eslde the duties that I assumed four years ago. In a very few minutes my successor will be Installed In office, enc3 I will ajgain become a private citizen. The four years that I have held this office have for me been very eventful ones, and while four years is a comparatively short time, much has happened during that time.

A part of it has been a most trying period for the people of this state on account of unsatisfactory economic and financial conditions, and it has not been easy for one to be at the htead of the state government. Whe I would like very much to review what has been accomplished during the past four years, I do not feel that I should take the time neither do I believe It appropriate to use this occasion to sum up what I believe to have been the accomplishments of this administration. Briefly. I will say that It has been my purpose to do those things which I have believed to be of benefit to the state of Wyoming and to its people. I have recognized no obligation, except my obligation othe state anfl I have placed the good of the state above political considerations.

No one can pursue such a policy without making enemies. There are always those who believe that because they ihave taken an active part in politics they have a right to demand anything regardless of right or wrong. There are always those who believe that they have a light to improve their fortunes at the expense of the public, aa there are also those who think they have a right to demand offices which they are not qualified to fill. I do jjot mean, to. Imply.

all who are 5lointed to office tire not quail-" fled, but the right kind of a person realizes that more than one person cannot fill the same office. No man can succeed in the office of governor without the cooperation of the other officers of the state, particularly the elective offices. I do not believe that at any time since Wyoming was organized have there been five officers 'who worked in such complete harmony as have the five e'ective officers of this state. There frave been no disagreements. We have had absolute confidence in one another and no one has ever attempted to use his office for his particular benefit.

What is true of the elective officers is true of the appointive officers, anc'i I feel that they have given their very best services to the state. I want to not only-thank the officers, but all of the employes for the co-operation and help they have given me During the time that I have been office there have been two regular sessions and one special session of the state legislature. Harmony has existed between the legislative and executive branches of the state government and the legislators have been most willing to pass beneficial legislation. The legislatures have been made up of a high class of citizens who have endeax-ored to study carefully all measures which were introduced, and have been most painstaking in their efforts. Much credit Is due them for what has been accomplished.

Willie the Judicial branch of the government is entirely distinct from that of the executive, I want on tlds occasion to thank the members of the Judiciary for the many courtesies that they have shown me. No. S-overnor has ever had occasion to appoint as many Judges as I have, neither has thwre been a time when many vacancies have occurred. Of the "ten Judges In the state today five of them have been appointed to office during my term In mak'-ng these appointments, I-have used the utmost care and endeavored to make what I Relieved (Continued from Fage Two.)

ST EFFORTS THE STATE My Friends: In this solemn moment, when I appear In your presence to qualify for tbe position of honor with which I have been entrusted I do eo with a profound sense of re-eposibility and obligation to the people of this state.

My chief concern Is that there may be added to my -unfaltering devotion to their Interests, wisdom so to administer the office as to Justify the confidence 'that has been placed in me. I shall briefly touch upon a few of the policies and principles which appear to be outstanding at this time and which are absorbing the attention of the people. It is natural, I suppose, that every administration has problems to solve which at the Ime- seem of unusual importance and so it appears to me that those with which I find myself suddenly confronted are of extraordinary eon-sequence and the solution of which challenges the btst Intellects of all political parties. I assume this office with an open mind ready to entertain and give full consideration to the different points of view which upon all questions shall be presented to me. I shall not only welcome but seek the opinions of others, 1 remembering, however, that In the end and not my counsellors, shall be held to a strict account, for my acts, and having no desire to evade that responsibility, I must in each case follow the course that appeals to me as just and right.

It is my confident hope that t.ie Executive branch of our State TKarmcny'- a nd" cc-opeiation with all others who have chosen to help administer the affairs of the state, shall be able to plan and execute such, effectual policies and laws as materially to promote the welfare of our people. The Legislative, and Executive branches of our government are so closely allied that co-operation between them is of the utmost importance in order to secure for the people we rorrsent the benefits of good laws. I want here to acknowledge with gratitude the many assurances I have received from members of both the House and Senate regardless of party affiliation, that I may depend upon them for that co-operation, and I assure them that it is my, earnest desire and intention to work in harmony with them. Working together we may reasonably look forward to four years of great development I of our natural resources, to an Increase in our population, to a reduction of eur state ETAOINET higher standard of living for our wage earners, to a reduction of our state expenses, to the lowering of, our taxes, to a condition of greater prosperity, to a higher regard for our laws, and to a finer type of citizenship. The achievement of these happy results await our united efforts, for aftetr all the development of' our state and the promotion of the welfare of our people constitute the" task for which we have been commissioned and for which: achievement we have teen given power and authority.

The people of Wyoming. In common with those of all the world, are at this time feeling the stress of financial depression. They are expecting the best possible government the least possible expenditure pf money. In accordance with this desire we must eliminate all waste and unnecessary expenses: we should abolish ell useless offices; we should consolidats departments where it "can be" done without sacrificing' public interests; we must strive for economy with efficiency and at the same time for both equalization and reduction of taxes. It Is my eplnion," which I believe is shared by many, that expenditures, which.

There, is no other state within the Cnion which has stored away within its bosom rich natural resources than our own. The Salt Creek Oil fields Is said -to be the richest spot of Its size on the face of the earth. Our coal fields are as bountiful as any that nature has provided and our Iron ore mines compare favorably In qual- ity and quantity with any on our continent. Few states are" blessed with such' remarkably, -rich resources as Wyoming.

The national pact which Mustaphi Kemal Pasha has repeatedly declared should be fulfilled, provides, amon-other things, that the Mosul district of Mesopotamia shall be Turkish territory.
