member, membership fee being 81. 90,
by subscribing for one or more shares
of stock. The payments thereon are
$l.00 per share, monthly thereafter.
Whenever these monthly payments,
with the accumulative profits added,
together with the interest, reaches the
par value of $l.00, per share, the stock
shall be matured and paid to the share
holders in cash. This is the total cost
to the members, and no greater sum
with the exception of fines or transfer
fees) can be charged for any cause
whatever. This money with the in
terest and other profits, is loaned each
month to the members upon terms and
conditions that will be decided upon by
the association.
After these monthly payments have
been made stock is pon-forfeitable:
rears for twelve months the stock
shall be cancelled for the purpose of
paying the arrears. Any balance re-
naming from the cancellation after
paying the fines and penalties, shall
upon demand, be paid to the owner.
Stock natures when payments made
upon, and the s~emi-annual dividends
added, amount to the par value of 800
per share. The association being pure
ly mutual in it operations, cannot fix
a definite time for maturing its stock,
but is DESTROYS of doing so in the short
est possible time.
A borrower is required to hold at
least n share of stock for each one
hundred dollars he may borrow, upon
which he pays one dollar dues per
month for each share of stock held.
He is also required to pay loan interest
of sixty cents per month per each q
hundred dollars borrowed. Whenever
the stock dues with such rate of inter
est thereon, as prescribed by the by
laws, together with the loan dues,
amount to the par value of 800 per
share, the stock shall be cancelled and
the loan repaid in full. The borrower
is also required t. bid in competition
for his loan upon which, according to
the bylaws, he must pay at least Is
per cent premium. The premium is
not deducted from the loan but is paid
in monthly installments, which for con-
%venience, is run in sixty monthly pay
ments, the payments being pro rat
per month.
This, we believe, is one of the very
best enterprises that can be organize d
for the upbuilding of Cody. 1t will
give those who desire to save a small
amount each month, a chance to real
ize a good rate of interest on their in
vestment. We expect to see the en-
tire machine of the new association in
full running order within a short
time.

FALLS $50 FEET
Team which Mr.. Braten was Div
ing Lunsed into Canyon. Mr..
Braten Jumped and Rolled so
Feet When he was Caught
by Hugh BoIder.

One of TIE most miraculous escapes
from the jaws of death occurred Tues
day evening wnen our highly respected
townsman Mr.. Walter Braten, came
near being drawn over into the canyon
with his team and rig. Mr.. Braten is
country and now claims that he be-
lieves he is death proof. So many
times has he been near deaths door,
and just as many times been saved,
prompts him to assert himself in the
above ann
Mr.. Braten had hitched a young
horse of Finley Goodman's in with an
old animal of his own and was driving
some of the engineers into the canyon
where their work was located. On the
way through the canyon going up, the
party found it nece ssary to change this
young horse on the side next t tn
mountain as it seemed to hobby to the
proposition of lunging headforem6s at
down the deep gulch. On one occasion
the rig partly wheeled over the edge,
but the men by dint of hard labor held
the rig and team from going over.
On the return trip Mr.. Braten kept
his eyes pinioned upon the action of
the and was ready for any emerg-
ancy that might come. The animal
went along fairly we'll until he came to
the very worst place when with one
kick and a terrific buck, he went over
the ledge taking the other horse and
the rig with him. Mr.. Braten with
wonderful presence of mind made his
leap for life landing against Il hug
bolder fifty feet below. The team and
rig smashed against the top of tn
bo.der but went on over and down the
precipice TO the river $50 feet below.
The gentle animal wa killed out
right while the other suffered the
fracture of many Of his bones and will
have to be killed. The rig is in
kindling wood and shows the stains of
blood on almost every piece.
Mr.. Braten escaped uninjured, save
a miserable bruisiug up. Everyone is
congratulating him upon even being
alive after such an accident, but he
only smiles, and says he guesses. he is
worse than the cat that has seven
lives.

GAY DECORATION VS.
Dancing Lasted Until II O'clock
When a Report was Announced
Thatthe Train Would not Ar
rive Until Morning. when
Everyone Departed.

The Irma amid the gay decoration of
colored electric lights shining through
the branches of evergreen and flowers
was the scene of a very elegant re-
ception last Friday night, given in
honor of Col. W. F. Cody. Colonel
Cody was expected to arrive Friday
evening but or account of the inefficient
train service didn't reach Cody until
the following morning at nine o'clock.
At first the train was reported on time,
then a little later was reported two
hours late. Shortly after that it was
reported to arrive at 1l:3O and at 11:30
was reported not to arrive until the
next morning. The dancing began at
8 O'Clock and lasted until 1890. The
crowd that turned out was very large
and the floor was at times crowded to
the limit by the numerous couples.
Even through it all the people
thoroughly enjoyed themselves as was
evidenced by the fact that the mid
night hour came before they were
ready to depart.
The main feature of the dance was
the music which was rendered by Miss
Ethel Cslkins, violinist, and Mrs. Fred
Barnett pianist. Even though n
wasn't dancing he was thoroughly
entertained by the music which was
excellent beyond question. Miss Calkins
is a violinist of ARE ability and has
won herself quite a name throughout
the Big Horn Basin where she has
filled numerous engagements. Mrs.
Barnett is one of Codys leading
pianists, and is seldom absent from a
place where good music is rendered.
MI. Ridgley, when the last report of
the train came, made the necessary
announcement and in behalf of Col.
Cody and his relatives thanked the
people for their kindness in turning
out and showing to Col. Cody their
respect.
The train which brought the Colonel
arrived at 0 o'clock Saturday morning.
A detachment of Co. E. was at the
depot and when the train pulled into
the depot, discharged the salute of
welcome. The Col. was driven i'm
mediately to the Irma, where he was
greeted by many Of his old townsmen.
At 4 p. m. in the afternoon an elaborate
dinner was given him at his sisters,
Mrs. Goodmans. Monday he left for
his TIE ranch where he expects to re-
main for a week after which he will
return to Cody. About December Is
he will go to North Platte, Nebraska,
there to remain for a short time after
which he will return to Cody to re-
main until he goes abroad in May.

FORAKER HAS NEW RATE BILL
Gives Court Power to Enjoin
Companies and Prohibits the
Issuance of Passes.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator For
aker today presented to the senate
committee on interstate commerce a
draft of his bill to amend the inter-
state commerce law. The senator
stated that he he had tried to meet the
complaints against the present railroad
conditions and at the same time avoid
comforting upon the interstate COM
MERGE commission or any similar body,
power owe railroad rates.
The Foraker bill, however, provides
for enioining the publishing and charg-
ing OF excessive rates and for e%njoin-
ing any determinations forbidden by
the law, whether as between shippers.
places, commodities or otherwise, and
whether effected by means OF rates, re-
bates, classifications, private cars, pref
erentials' ''or in any other manner
whatever" While this does not confer
upon the court power to fix a rate, it
does authorize the court to say what is
an unlawful rate and how much is I'M
lawful, and how much unlawful, and to
enjoin the carrying party from charg-
ing more than is found to be lawful.
This bill is also designed to prohibit
the giving of passes, to allow free ac-
cess to railroad documents and to meet
complaints as to rates on export and
inn Ort freight.-Cheyenne Leader.

With a present for your frow,

But he hands to you a message,
From the company, you know,
Go ut once to San Antonio,

And your face takes on a frown,
For you think that all your troubles
Have begun right here anew;

THE DENVER SHORT LINE.

The proposed short line railway now
under survey by the engineering de-
partment of Messrs. Phelps. Dodge &
Co. will be the o: increasing
the business between Las Vegas and
FL Paso and be Of great benefit In de-
velopug the local business on the
line. which will be divided between
the two cities and which. without the
road as at present proposed, will never
be developed.
The present proposition will be "A
connecting link between the Denver
& Rio Grande railway OF Colorado and
the Mexican Central railway OF Mex
leo, giving a direct through line from
Denver. Colo. TO the City OF Mexico.
Those who are familiar with the nat.
ural Of the Rocky mountain
region fully realize the possibilities
Of traffic along the eastern base OF the
mountains from Denver to the City
OF Mexico. All the known minerals
exist at one point or another on this
line and the greatest possible growth
Of the country will come to this great
th0ronghfare. The cities Of Mexico,
III Paso. Las Vegas, Pueblo and Dem
yer will be the fortunate cities Of fu-
ture greatness as they Will be entirely
divorced from the necessary arbitrary
freight rates now charged against all
the Rocky mountain country by al
on OF the long haul across the plains
while the scarcity Of local trafic
forces the excessive high rates on
traffic at local points along the eastern
base OF the mountains. Ell Paso and
Denver enjoy especially favorable con-
ditions with their numerous east and
west lines, all Of which we're OF little
account to El Paso until the Mexican
Central and the FL Paso and South
western gave them an opportunity to
get goods out OF the city. It is n
thing to get goods I'm at low rates OF
freight and another proposition to get
them out on favorable terms.

THE RATE QUESTION.

President Roosevelt will seriously
offend Henry Clews in particular and
Wall street in general by his irsis-
tence upon the belief that the Inter
state Commerce commission shall
have not only the power to Complain
when railroad rates are unjust. but
also the power TO change such rates.
Still there Is a very grave question
whether, on the ground OF abstract
principle, 1t would be just ana right
for any commission to regulate the
business OF the railroads to the extent
OF saying what they shall charge for
hauling freight. The railroads, how
ever. by means Of pools and combina.
tions. have In many instances, forced
rates above the natural stage, and
have Disseminated TO such an extent
that some heroic measures are. un-
doubtedly necessary.
