GIANT AT SHOSHONE DAM NEARLY READY
TO Be HARNESSED AND PUT TO WORK
Will be Ready When Needed on Will
wood Project--High Praise Due Supt.
Sass for Big Engineering Feat

Remarkable progress is being made
at the Shoshone Dam. The power
plant is well on the way to compile
ton.
In the power house, which is near
ly completed, two turbines have been
set. and are now ready to run. The
third unit will be placed when there
is need Of it. An immense switch
board has been set up and is ready for
connections.
Electric generators will be set
above the turbines, and produce cleo
tricity for the whole project. The
wiring has been temporarily suspend
ed in the canyon, until better weather
makes work. easier.
The immense tunnel through which
the water will flow from the reser-
voir to the turbines is finished. 1t is
lined with concrete with a minimum
thickness of eighteen inches. This
concrete lining is in perfect align
ment, and is very smooth. In fact,
great credit Is due to Superintendent
r. v. Sass for an unusually fine job
in this work. Friction has been re-
duced to a minimum, INT there is
nothing to hinder the freest flow of
water from dam to turbines.
At the power house end of the tun-
mel, pipe is built into the hole for
fifty feet, to guard against bursting Of
the rock through unusual pressure
at any time. This pipe, through which
a man "a walk upright with ease,
leads to the power units. There are
three branches of pipes. through
through which water flows to the
three turbines. Only two OF these
have been installed, but all prepare
ton has been made for the third.
The water. after propelling the tur-
bines. is discharged through pipes
under the surface Of the river. OF
course, there will be more water than
the turbines VIII require. This excess
is taken care of by a small tunnel
which leads out to the river, and
thu ough which will run constantly as
much water as the town Of Cody can
possibly use. Thus no trouble will be
caused down the river by any changes
in operation of the power plant.
Water is introduced into the tan
mel through two pipes that lead

work. and to assert to Congress- that
"the West is united for reclamation"
L. R. Ewart reported that it was
understood by the County Commits
sioners and the County Treasurer
that there was no danger Of penalties
for delinquent taxes IL the persons
unable to pay would explain to the
County Treasurer and set a reason
able date for payment.
Manager Titus of the telephone
company was introduced. He stated
that Cody was not large enough for
the installation of a common battery
system. such as has been urged. The
new system would mean a new build
ing, a ground floor exchange, and
complete outside plant.
The company will, next year, install
a new cable plant for the town, and
see to it that the present system be
run on as efficient a basis as possible.
II there are any troubles, they will
be removed at once
1t is to be remembered. said Mr..
Titus, that the possibilities of auto
matte telephones are very strong. and
in that case it would be best for Cody
to wait until it be seen whether a
machine ring service will not be best
for such a town as this. This new
system is being tried III in Laramie.
II it proves successful. it will be the
one that should be installed in Cody,
rather than the central battery sys-
tenn.
After all. the only difference is in
turning the cofee-grinder" fofr a
while longer. In ten or twelve years
there may be no more central battery
systems-and Cody does not want
n II they are out Of date.
While there is the waiting. the com.
pany will do all in their power to
make the present system efficient.
The big problem in Cody is to have
the outside plant made efficient. and
that will be done as soon as possible.

why HE DROVE THIRTY
MILES TO CODY MILL

When asked by The Enterprise if
he intended to reply to Mr.. Johnston's
last letter in regard to the mill stu
alton, Mr.. Hogg replied, Nothing
doingl I'm through writing letters;
but Mr.. Johnston's remarks about
the comparative l~iberality of our mill
and the Byron mill are certainly
amusing in the light of an incidel.t
which occurred at our mill a fer
weeks ago.
"a farmer living somewhere south
east of Powell, 10 miles from Byron
drove in with a load Of wheat and
learning he could not trade it in for
flour upon the old basis was much
disappointed. Why said he, 4 can
trade it in on that basis at the Byron
mill and it's much nearer my house
too Well we replied, guess you
had better do that, for we can't do
any better for you To which our
farmer answered.: 4 would, but
can't use that d-n flour after 1 get
it
"He finally traded with u.s."

STARVING RUSSIANS
EATING THEIR DEAD

The first official report of canibal-
ism in the famine districts of Russia.
has been made to the all-Russian SOW
let congress by Delegate Ovsienke of
Samara. according to an Associated
Press dispatch.
p. AT R~amikovesky, the parish people
are eating the bodies of their dead"
he told congress, sit is dangerous to
bury famine victims in presence OF
the people. and guards must be kept
over them until they are in a state
that makes eating impossible"

COUNTY CLERK
ISSUES AS MANY
LICENSES AS EVER

In spite of the ruling of Attorney
General Walls. County Clerk Rous-
.seau has demanded medical certin-
Gates from all male applicants Cor
marriage licenses.
The number of applicants, however.
says Mr.. Rousseau, has not decreased
because of this. The average of sir
a month before the law went into
effect has been maintained. Last
month six licenses were issued.
The people who went to Montana
always did so. for they regard IT as
a lark. or a surprise to their friends,
or onie such prank.

publican state central committee, may
be a candidate for secretary of state,
to succeed w. f. Chaplin, who has
declined to become a candidate for
reelection.
Mr.. Spencer is well known through
out the State, and especially III Cody,
where he has a great many friends.

URGES INSURANCE
IN LIEU or BONUS
Bv a sto1 Correspondent

Washington. Feb. 15.--Rapidly in
creasing sentiment among officials for
insurance for ex.service men in lieu Of
cash bonus has been found by Repre-.
sentative Watson. Of Pennsylvania, q
member of the Ways and Means Com.
mittee. lie has hopes that it may yet
be adopted as the solution to the tanslc
over adjusted compensation" and al.
ditional taxes.
Mr.. Watson said he was in favor of
eliminating oil plans except the insur.
nnce. This has been discussed among
Cabinet officials and their advisers IN
the departments. o..
The cost would be SCI. 900, 900. ac-
cordins to computations by authorities
on insurance. for the first year, and
about $3O. O.O00. 900 annually thercaftc
until the twentieth year. The insurance
maturing In that year would amount to
about S4,500. 900, 900. The total for tho
entire insurance would amount to about
50. &c. 900 900.
''This would give us timc," Mr..
Watson said, 1T" recover somewhat
from heavy expenses at present, and

SHIPS CRUSHED BY ICE
Passenger Craft Trapped In Baltic
in Grave Peril

Stockholm, Feb. 15.--(Ry A. P.)--
The Baltic Sea has been converted into
an isolated lake owing to the closing ol
the Cattegat and the sound by ice. Five
steamships. including the Thule, from
London. with twenty seven passengers,
are held fast in a dangerous position of
the Vinga Lighthouse.
The pack ice which is blockading the
Swedish west coast Is OF enormous
thickness. Two steamers already have
foundered. their plates being crushed
by ice. The crews escaped to other yes
sels. The 35OO.ton Danish freighter
Tranquebar, from Galveston and Nor
folk for Copenhagen, and more than
twenty other vessels arc impcriled.
