HORRIBLE ANXIETY WHEN
MEN ARE REPORTED TRAP
PED IN NINE ABOVE CODY

Faces of Cody citizens, especially
those of Scandinavian persuasion,
went white last Friday when a report
reached town that several miners had
been entombed in a mine shaft in the
Jim Creek locality above Cody, the
shaft having been flooded by a water
spout
Help was rushed to the scene and
since that time desperate efforts have
been made to to get the shaft reop-
ened.
The report of the men being en-
tombed has not been confirmd but lit
tie interest has been taken in that
feature of the report. The reason so
much anxiety was displayed is that
the washout occurred at the Copen.

as the damage is repaired a fresh

c. R. SNYDER KILLED WHEN GAR
LEAVES ROAD AND PLUNGES INTO
CANYON. BODY FOUND NEXT MORNING

Tragedy stalked In Shoshone can
yon Monday night, when C. R. Snyder,
honored pioneer of the Cody country,
came to his death when the car in
which he was riding alone plunged
over o ~forty-foot embankment.
Mr.. Snyder's automobile had been
left by other parties in Yellowstone
park and he had gone there to drive
it home. He left Holm Lodge at :.
O'Clock Monday evening and it is ev
dent hat the accident occurred about
$3.50 at night, although it was unwit-
messed by human eye.
1t is evident that when he had
reached a point in the canyon about
two miles east of the Shoshone dam
the aged man lost sight of the road in
making a urn and the car plunged off
the grade. Mr.. and Mrs. A. Mullen
who were a short distance ahead Q.
Mr. Snyder noticed that his headlights
were burning dimly and it is possible
hal they went out entirel just before
the accident.
The car made an almost sheer drop
of forty feet and Mr.. Snyder had e
IDENTIFY struck on his head which was
badly bruised. Death was probably
instantaneous. The car rolled on
down tn slope for a distance of about
100 feet
Nothing was known of the accident

C.. G. D|LLAvOU OF
POWELL IS ELECTED
REP.COMM|TTEEMAN

When the Republican County Cen
trail Committee. metaphorically speak
ing, quietly fastened the proverbiaI
tin receptacle to the caudal append
age of l.. L.. Newton as state commit
teeman. it did a good job. and one
which we firmly believe will result
in great material benefit to the party.
In theory at least, these local polit-
ical organizations are supposed to be-
the instruments of the party, to be
used for the party's benefit and adj
vancement- When such an organiza-
ton is made the toe of an individual
or a small coterie and is used for
personal financial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or
for the advancement of personal hob
bies and extreme propaganda of an
extra-political nature, such use is a
prostitution of the organization and
abhorent to all fair minded party men.
For two years thee Republican
party in Park County has been made
to serve the personal purposes of n
man and has beer made to bear the
onus of responsibility for the extreme
PiOpoeahdd Iii hICbf
DDS of the ultra-reformists.
This is most unfair to the party.
The Republican party is no more
the party of the anti-saioon league
and its kindred organizations than it
is the party of the association against
the eighteenth amendment and its
affiliated groups.
Prohibition is not and never has
been a political issue between the
Republican and Democratic parties;
and n effort on the part of any one
affiliated with either party to make
it appear otherwise is an unfriendly
act toward the party affected.
We ~have-reall politician Issues a
plenty without trying to ride personal
hobbies in on the chorus.
We AVE quiet hopes that the pass
ing of Len Leander will pressage an
era of harmony and success for the
Republican party in Park County.

NEW CEYSER SPOUTS
IN YELLOWSTONE PARK

Yellowstone Parks new geyser,
which "blew up several weeks ago,
breaking all geyser records for height
of its stream and violence of its e.
ruption. is performing again.
Aftei the first few days of activity
the new geyser. which has been un-
officially called the Semi Centennial
since 1t chose the fiftieth anniversary
of the Parks creation to assert itself,
quieted down and only gave occasion
al spurts of steam n muddy water
TO remind Parks visitors OF its pre-
vious performances in flooding the
roads around for about a radius OF a
hundred feet or more.
Last week, however, the geyser
commenced operating again and has
since been playing at irregular inter
walls several times a day. The spouts
on these occasions reach various
heights between 100 and 200 feet.
Several times. also, 1t has thrown mud
and water on the roadway which runs
beside the muddy hot pool where the
geyser has its source.
The new phenomenon is proving a
great attraction to motor parties from
cities nearby the Park. Since the
spouter resumed activities, scores of
parties have beenin, in order to be
able to witness the new geyser dis
play before the close of the Park
Beasin.

CLOSING SEASON is THE
LARGEST in HISTORY
OF TOURISTS IN PARK

The 1929 tourist season is nearing
it's close. Soon the summer visitors,
like the birds, will have sought their
winter quarters.
The numerous resorts located in
the Shoshone Forest. have enjoyed a
very good season. More people, than
ever beore, hav patronized them
Our roads have been in better shape
than usual, and this fact accounts for,
in a large measure. the increased
travel The North Fork road, the
Park. is seriously handicapped by the
narrow, steep trail thru the Shoshone
Canyon. and some Improvement must
be made at that point if we wish to
handle our share OF the tourist trade.
The preent road should be relocated
so as to eliminate the heavy grades
1t should also be widened and the
road on the south side of the river
should be finished. This will take
a lot of money, but eventually it will
be one. By cooperation with the
Forest service and the Park service
and the State, the necessary funds
will be raised.
In the meantime why not improv
the road running around the south
side of the Reservoir? This will take
are of the local traffic and eliminate
congestion to a great extent, since
those who have seen the Canyon
would naturally prefer the route hav-
ing tho easiest grade.

the United States Senate, outdid the
Observation-Disclosures league AN
didate, John B. Kendrick, by a vote
of 2 to 1. The returns, with only 81
precincts out of GAS are lacking, show
that Mondell polled nearly 1000 votes
more than he did in the congress-
ional primary two years ago, a truly
phenomenal showing
Nor is the Democratic boast of Ken

turns. In this county, on the pre-
primary assurance off the Democrats.
Mondell was to get nothing at all. Yet

loses n of her real pioneers.
Cyrus Replogle Snyder was born in
Curryville, Pennsylvania, July rs,
1851. He first came to Wyoming in
1897. locating near Lander, and in the
following year came to Cody. He
homesteaded on the South Fork where
he has since made his home, engaging
in ranching and livestock raising.
Everyone who knew C. R. Snyder, or
Pap" Snyder as he was called, had
grown to honor and respect him as a
man among men.
He leaves a widow and six sons
Simon, Perry. Merrill, Clarence and
Harold, all of the Cody locality, and
Glen. whose home is in Maine.
This is the third tragic death in the
family within a few years. One son
persisted when he was lost in the
mountains in the vicinity of Sheridan
and anothr was drowned while at
training camp near Great Falls, Mont.
Funeral services will be conducted
by Rev. A. M. Shepperd at the Mason

WET
BUT A WINNER

Hon. ]. D. Woodruff, the Shoshoni
pioneer, received 1921 votes for rep
resntative from Fremont county. lead
ing his ticket by 200 votes in a field
of six candidates. In his home town
he received SO out of 81 votes cast, a
worlds record. While Mr.. Woodruff
openly opposes prohibition as the
greatest joke in history, his victory
perhaps should not be called a wet
triumph, but the vote simply goes to
show that people are drifting away
from prohibition fanaticism and are
willing to elect men of unquestioned
integrity to office, trusting them to
conduct it in the best interests OF
their constituents.
, 1922-09-06

ion of 1920-a presidential year was
56,42l. 1t is scarcely probable that
the vote this year will be as heavy .
but even iff it is, Mondell will need
less than $500 more votes than he
got in the primary to insure election.
In the general election of 1920 he got
1886 more votes than he did in the
primaries of the same year.
Kendrick, in order to be elected.
on a basis of 1920 Figures would have
to increase his primary vote of IL, $50
(67 precincts missing) by approx
mately 10000. On the basis of this
years primary figures. he would have
to double his vote in order to beat
the Republican candidate, and then
only il the Mondell ote remained
absolutely stationar-a preposterous
supposition.
If the Democrats can extract any
comfort from such figures they are
certainly entitled ii it, but whatever
crumbb there is will scarcely make
them fat.
They have proffessed to find com
fort in the thought Mondell ran some
what behind the combined vote for
the Republican gubernatorial can IL
dates. Queer comfort indeed for dem
ocrats ii cherish, but even so the an
swer is obvious.
Mondell, being u~nopposed in the
primaries and deemed unbeatable at
any time. the Republicans made no
especial effort to get ont a record
vote for him. On the other hand,
the Democrats, desperately eager to
make a showing, rsorted to extraord-
mary measures in behalf of Kendrick.
These extraordinary measures in
cluded a letter from tn Democratic
state chairman to all county chair
men i~nstructing them to appoint at
least three captains for every pre-
cinct, these captains to call personal
ly If need be on every known Demo
crat in their respective precincts with
a view to getting o u every Demo
cratic vote
To sum up, Mondell led Kendrick
in the primaries by 2 to L. He scored
material and. in many instances, re-
markable gains in all save three coun-
tiesont OF twenty-three, and in one
of these three failures is accounted
for in the creation of a new county.
In three counties-Albany, Big Horn,
and Carbon-the Mondell vote, yer
that of two years ago. is almost treb-
led, AMI it is very nearly doubled in
a number of ether ccunties. notably
