In the latitude of New Haven, Conn.,,
the days Of December Is TO "a, in
elusive, each Of nine hours and ten
minutes duration, are the shortest
days of the year in the United States.
Ordinarily the months of December,
January and February are regarded as
comprising the winter season. Astro-
nomical tables, however, show the sea-
son begins December II and ends
March y.
More than 100 consecutive days of
below zero weather. recorded by the
United States weather bureau obser-
vatOry at Duluth, is the longest period
of real winter in the annals of United
States weather observation.
Dr. Il. NJ. Anderson, with the Stef-
anSson expedition, records 46 below as
the coolest recorded during the years
1913 to 1918. This is about equal 10
the low point recorded at Saranac
lake, n. Y, in the Adirondacks.
A natural impression has been pre-
valent that within the Arctic circle
the coolest weather of North America
would be experienced. The lowest Of
fetal record is at Point Barrow,
northern tip of Alaska, "a below zero.
Stefansson, in a recent magazine ar
ticle, pointed out that comparison of
United States weather bureau reports
establishes the fact that snowfall in
winter in St Louis, Mo-, or in Rich
mond, Va, is three or four times as
great as on the north coast of Alaska.

WILL WATER 24O
ACRES WITH HOSE
Withdraws Suit And En-
tiers Into Contract With Canal
Board To Supply Water.

Upon consideration, and after some
pressure had been brought to bear,
Mayor Cox decided that peace was
olive branch to the Cody Canal Board
with the result that the difference be-
tween the Town of Cody and the Cody
Canal Irrigation District were adjust
ed last week.
The suit which was started against
the company has been withdrawn and
a contract entered into between the
Town and Canal Company.
Under the agreement the Town will
have water for a definite and restrict
ed area-240 acres-and it will be al
lowed a foot of water for each 20
acres.
An exact record of the amount of
water the Town diverts into it's reser-
voir will be kept in order to determine
what the Town needs for its munich
pal supply. An adequate measuring
device will be installed which meets
the approval of the Water Board, and
this already has Been ordered.
If the amount to which the Town
is entitled is not sufficient then they
will have to make arrangements with
the Canal Company for more water.
The Canal Co. vii. look to the Lin
coin Land Co. for any monies which
may be delinquent for improvements
on the canal.
The Town of Cody relinquishes its
~trusteeship in the water for the land
lying outside of the specified 24o
acres.
The Town of Cody supplies all the
water for irrigation n other purpos-
es to the lands embraced in the 240
acres. This means that all lawns.
trees, and gardens, must be irrigated
with hose.
The water is Of in the ditch the
first OF November and cannot be de-
pended on again until the first of
May. During the intervening six
months the Town will be supplied
from the reservoir and when this is
exhausted, the pump at the river will
work as usual.
In Powell. where the reservoir is
much larger than the Muskrat Lake
reservoir. the water has become stag
nate and disagreeable for household
purposes causing much complaint
from the users, but, of course. this
could not happen in Cody. Under the
Cox-Bell plan it will be soft. pure,
and plentiful"

JEfF'S HOUSE PARTY
HAS SAD ENDING
Ranch Visited By Sheriff Who
Arrests Guests And Finds
Cache of Moonshine.

The boaiSlers in the county Jail
were increased by three last Friday
after Sheriff Davis, upon information
furnished by Mrs. Alice Collins. paid
a visit to JEFF Chapman's ranch near
Hart Mountain.
jeff. as well as Marshall Hay and
Frhnk Moore who were enjoying his
hospitality were brought 10 town by
the officers.
They were taken before Judge Metz
at T~hermopolis who gave Marshall
Hay 6 months in jail and a $500 fine.
Moore received 80 days in Jail and a
5000 fine. Chapman would not plead
guilty and was held in $500 bond to
appear at Court.
1t is said that a dude staying witt.
Marshall Hay CAV. the officers the in
formation whicr Id to the finding of
a cache of whisk9H on his place,
while Frank Moore dropped in mop
portunely with a gallon jug as his
contribution to Jeff's house party,
during the officers visit and was ar
rested with the others.
According to rumor, d still was
found in the corral of which JEFF de-
MES the ownership. and declares it
was thrown there as part of a frame
up.
jeff has never been regarded as a
ladies man." but, of late, it looks as
though the women would be his un-
doing.
A short time ago he appeared in
court charged by Mrs. Blanche Gokel
with owing her for. $50 worth of baths
"a charge. which he strenuously de-
nied-and now it is alleged he has
been betrayed by the housekeeper in
whom he has implicit confidence.
Mrs. Collins, who has been employ
ed in that capacity in Jeff's log cabin
of modest dimensions near Hart
Mountain, has long been looked upon
as an informer but he is still uncon
WINGED that she is responsible for this
particular visit of the officers and she
has returned to the ranch to look af-
ter his welfare.
1t was thought that Jack Spicer,
who is wanted for taking four shots
at Joe Hill. might be among those
present at Jeff's house party, but there
was no trace of him on the premises.
1t is believed that Joe Hill will re-
cover from the terrible wound he re-
ceived in the battle with his erstwhile
friend Spicer.

WAR BREWING ON
GREYBULL RIVER
Ranchers To Fight Proposal OF
Company To Construct Dirt
Dam At Head Of Stream.

The ranchers along the upper Grey
bull are up in arms against the pro-
posal of the GreybulI Improvement
Co. TO bond their land without their
consent and against their wishes.
This company, of which G. A Web
ster. county commissioner, and SEN
ator Shovgard of Basin are %conspicu-
GUS members, proposes to construct
an earthen dam at the head of the
river and are now ready to sell $780,
900 worth of bonds for this purpose.
The ranchers contend that they do
not need such a dam, do not want it
and consider it would be dangerous
and a constant menace to their lives
and property as practically all the
great disasters of this kind in the
country have come from the breaking
of dirt dams.
They intend to fight it through ev-
cry court and as a preliminary step
have decided to retain e. e. Lone
baugh of Sheridan to represent them
in the matter.
They are also circulating the fol-
lowing petition which will be sen to
Frank w. Mondell in the hope that
he will intercede for them and stop
the Company from carrying out its
Intentions.

BUFFALO BILLS" SISTER
CELEBRATES 18th BIRTHDAY

Mrs. Julia Goodman, unquestionably
Cody's most beloved old timer. cele-
brated her seventy-eighth birthday on
Monday, when about twenty-five of
her old friends among the ladies of
the town and vicinity gathered at the
home of Mrs. Goodman's daughter,
Mrs. H. w. Thurston. on Rumsey
Avenue.
The occasion proved a delightful
one for all. and mother" Goodman,
who in spite Of her reasonably mature
years is in the best of health, entered
into the spirit of the affair with all
the enthusiasm of a school girl. Ma
ny flowers and other suitable remem-
brances were showered upon he
guest of honor. A list of those pres
ent would read like a roster of the
leading women of the community a
dozen years ago.
Mrs. Goodman, as Col. Cody's old
est and ~favorite sister. and one of
the very earliest residents of Cody
is so well known and so much beloved
that everyone joins in wishing her
long and continued health and happi-
ness and many returns of the day.

We as citizens living under such
proposed dam wish to register our
protest.
We do not like dirt dams;. we are
afraid of them.
The history of our country and the
various flood disasters that have from
time to time appalled, us are strong
proof of the uncertainty and danger
of such structures. AS a notable re-
cent instance of this we cite the Pue-
bio disaster.
This proposed dam is of such unus-
ual height and length, and is to inn
pound such a asst body of water that
we cannot but feel hat it will be a
most serious n to all lives and
property of all the inhabitants of this
valley.

CARRIED MILK BOTTLE
"~FRISKED"B SHERIFF

There was a time when any citizen
could carry a milk bottle, a vinegar
jug. or an oil-can through the streets
of Cody without any thought of being
stopped by an officer. much less
searched by him. That time has pas
sed apparently.
Take the case of George Collins.
hamburger artist employed behind the
lunch counter at Duly's.
AT a quarter of six one morning
last week George was enroute to his
job carrying a glass container in
which it is his custom to take spring
water or buttermilk home to his wife.
Hey" A voice called sharply.
Innocent as a babe with his butter
milk bottle. Collins kept on going.
Stop" The command was imper-
alive so he obeyed it.
1t came from no less a person than
Sheriff Davis out with his body-guard
and deputy. Cullom, completing a o
of the alleys.
whats the matter?" Collins de-
manded.
"I'm goin' to "frisk" you. What's
in that bottle"
'rNothin' yet" replied George, "but
there'l be buttermilk this evenin'."
'Pil search you anyhow"
Where's your warrant?"
Never mind about my warrant.
Got a gun on your"
mo"
So the sheriff. whose splendid ac-
tivity'' was recently so highly com
mended by the Anti-Saloon League,
furnished another example of his yea
by going through the pockets of the
p%eaceable citizen without a warrant
on the strength of the tact that ho
was carrying an empty bottle.
