HERE IN A few WEEKS
Lester Poague Has Purchased Outfit
and Expects Ii Here In q
Few Days.

Crossville is to have a radio receiv.
ing station in a week or two. Lester
Pcague has purchased an outfit and
expects to have it ready for service
with two weeks.
He has erected his receiving pole
to the rear of the bank and will have
the instruments located in the Offices
of the Knights and Ladies Order of the
Cross, over the postoffice. His in
Strument will be sufficiently strong to
pick up messages broadcasted from
Chicago, Cincinnati New York or any
of the large cities of the country. 1t
will be of such character that by am
plifying it with additional coils he can
receive messages from all over the
world. AT this time he will be content
with covering the United States.
His receiving hours will be from
seven to eleven p. m. each day. 1t
will be possible to hear the best bands
of the country, the most able speakers
prominent lecturers and advance news
matter. 1t should prove especially in
teres ting in the fall election as Cross
vile should be able TO get the cleo
tion returns just as quickly as the
large cities.

FORD PLANT TO BE CLOSED

Henry Ford has announced that his
plants in and around Detroit, Mich,
will all be closed down September 10
because of lack of COAL
He has also stated that he has di-
rected 1900 firms that are furnishing
him with products to cease shipping.
The shut down in the Ford enterprises
will throw 10000 men out of employ
ment in the Ford plants alone. 1t is
estimated that all told two million men
will be thrown out of employment be-
cause of the Ford shut down.
Mr.. Ford has given out the state
ment that, from Investigations his com
pany has made he believes the coal
barons have immense quantities OF
coal and that they expect to sell 1t
at prices ranging for 200 to 800 percent
advance over normal prices. He feels
that in closing down his factories he
is helping all other manufacturers and
the public generally. He states that
his Offices have been flooded the past
two weeks with offers of coal with
assurance of delivery. He claims he
could buy enough coal to cover ten
acres if he was willing to pay the
high price asked. -

AN OBJECT LESSON

At the hustling little town of Pike
vile, in our neighbor county of Bled-
soc. there is a canning Company that
has been in operation only few years:
Last year it had canned $4,000 cans OF
tomatoes Up to this time. This year II
has canned I25,ooo cans up to now.The
company has just shipped its second
car of canned tomatoes. The crop IS
proving a very profitable one for the
farmers around Pikeville and the acre
age that is being planted each year is
growing rapidly. a..
There is an object lesson IN TINS
that should induce the people OF TINS
section to get busy and stay busy. NO
where can a better grade OF tomatoes
be grown than on this plateau, nor
can more be produced to the acre OF
with less effort.
1t is well understood that vegetables
of all kind grow to perfection mere
and as this soil can be worked with
half the horsepower that the land can
he worked with around Pikeville, there
is a great advantage in that feature
alone. Since the harvesting OF the
crop comes at a time when farmers
are least pressed with other work, II
furnishes profitable employment at
time when work is slack and the IN
come from the farm is not heavy mol
pressing.

SHERIFF CONTEST

When the contest case came before
Judge c. E. Snodgrass last week, in
which Sheriff CIV. Walker claimed
the election was not legal and for that
reason J. H. Henry, who was elecetd
on the face of the returns by 81 votes,
should not be allowed to hold the Of
fee, Judge Snodgrass allowed Walker
to get his case into court for trial at
the next regular term in October.
Under the law Mr.. Henry should
take the oath of office and file his
bond as sheriff Friday, September I.
lust what will come of the situation
as it now stands remains to be deter
mined. The next move will be watch
ed with interest.

GEORGE REAVIS SHOT

Monday night abtut 8 o'clock Geo.
Reavis was shot in Knoxville and his
recovery is>regarded as doubtful.
Reavis formerly lived in Grassy
Cove, this county, but, for several
years had been a practicing attorney
in Knoxville. Recently he opened a
little store, and it was at his store
that he received the wound, which is
regarded as accidental.
Ollie Hurst and Frank Cotton It
seems had been friends but fell out
and when they met in front of the
Reavis, store Cotton began shooting at
Miss Hurst. She creamed and It seems
that Reavis rushed to the door of his
store to see what theN trouble was
about and received ball from a 3d.
caliber pistol in the abdomen. The
woman was shot in the same manner.
Both were rushed to the Knoxville
General hospital and operated upon.
Both are considered dangerously
wounded Owing to the age of Reavis
he being over 60 years of age, his re-
covery is regarded as doubtful.

"BoARDER" HENS

In Hawkins County last spring a
farmers wife had IS hens and was get
ting 18 eggs a day. She decided to
sell the flock. A neighbor who had
learned how to Gull poultry from the

to buy 20 of the hens if she might be
allowed to select them. This was
agreed upon and the neighbor bought
the 20 hens. The next day he got IL
eggs from the 20 hens while the orig
inal owner got none from the remain

land Mountain School will come to
this place Wednesday afternoon.

Quite number of students have al
ready arrived-more expected every
day.
r Mrs. Mccormack entertained few
friends Saturday evening in honor of
the students. Different games and
music were enjoyed till late hour.
Monday evening, Miss Lorena Har-
rill entertained the same crowd of
young people. They were divided
into members of two families, Grand
father and Grandmother Bright, nd
Grandfather and Grandmother Smart
and their descendants. Each family
entertained the other with negro min
strels, conversational parties and
stunts. Sitting round the campfire
there was much merriment in trying
to discover who their partner was, as
all were disguised as dusky members
of the Etheopean race. Hollis Eadens
and Miss Leta Smith were handed the
palm for being the most complete
darkies. DUDLEY Daniels ranked next
and entertained with some typical
guitar folk song. This closes the hap
py vacation for the youngsters, and
all are anxious to settle down to real
hard study for the coming school term.
DR.. w. T. Matthes, of Greenville,
arrived in town Monday and is a
guest of w. D. Harril and family.

Mrs. Black is now at the home OF
her son c. G. Black at his place.
The shadows are beginning to
lengthen and balmy days of autum

KLU KLUX MAN LEADS

In the Texas Runoff for United
States Senator, Earl B. Mayheld, who
was charged with being Clans man,
it seems will be the winner by some
10000 or more votes. His opponent
was Ex-Governor Jas. E. Ferguson.
In the races for lieutenant-governor,
state treasurer and state superntend-
ent, the clan candidates seem to be
badly defeated.

THE LUBRICANT OF COM
MON SENSE is NEEDED

where friction prevails in business
one does not get service John w.
Hay.
Government, Mr.. Hay believes,
be conducted on business lines.
Business practice is to end the evil
effects of friction by eliminating the
cause of the friction. The formula is
a simple one-even a child may com
.prehend the wisdom of it-but it has
been either nurealized or ignored in
governmental affairs. II he is elected
of Wyoming, John w. Hay
proposes to apply it to Wyoming's
government. The results may be dis
pleasing to a comparatively small
number of governmental sinecurists,
but it will be gratifying to the whole
body of Wyoming taxpayers.
81 want to abolish friction, increase
efficiency and give service" says Mr..
Hay.
It is a sad commentary on the gov
enrmental situation that such a gro
gram must be made an issue Of a pc
litical campaign-that conditions sc
obviously evil cannot be terminated
without a revolt by an irritated cleo
torate.

PARK BUS DRIVERS
UP TO OLD TRICKS
Complaints OF Reckless Driving
Loud Among Tourists, Who
Are Their Victims.

Editor OF Enterprise:
motored better than two thousand
miles to spend ten days in Yellow
stone National Park. It certainly is
not an exaggeration to call the Park
the .Wonderland of the World" BY
those who know / am told thai twice
as many cars went tru Cody to the
Park this year than last-and the big
end of the season is yet to come.
Yet the perfect pleasure OF the trip
was married by the reckless driving
instances tourists were actually push
ed of the road Without exception
in every camp at which we pitched
our tent the common complaint was
the way these buses hogged the road
and ignored the speed limit. They
apparently had not the slightest con-
Germ for the rights of the tourists. If
this reckless driving continues to en-
danger the lives of peoplt touring the
Park in their own ears Cody tourist
trade will collapse. Now, what's the
remedy? First of all, the matter of
wild driving should be brought to
the authorities of the Transportation
Company perhaps by the Cody Com
mercial Club. l feel sure that If
they were thus informed of how the
tourists feel about this matter they
would do something to insure greater
safety for those making the Park in
their own cars. Further dangers to
tourists would be eliminated by the
use of the one-way traffic system, not
only thru the Shoshone Canyon road
but thru the entire Park itself. This
system is used to fine advantage in
other parks, and l found that it work
ed particularly well in the SeQuoia
Park, California.

ROAD SHARPS GIVE THE
CANYON ROAD ONCE OVER

A party consisting of Governor
Carey, John Snyder of Lowell, Robt.
Laird of the State Highway Depart
ment, L. R. Ewart and others made a
trip of inspection over the Shoshone
canyon road with a view to future
improvements.
1t was conceded by the Governor
and Mr.. Laird that the south road is
feasible and that a bridge at the five
mile point in the canyon is neces-
sary.
This it was agreed would come
about all in good time but not in the
immediate future. There will be
some money spent on the canyon road
with a view to lessening the danger
of machines going over the embank-
ment, and %surfacing some rough por-
tons.

CLUB BACKS
100000 HOTEL

A contract between b. H. Farrell
and the Cody Club was signed this
week whereby the Club guarantees
the payment of $1,000 when the sum
of 500 is raised by Mr.. Farrell for
promotion expenses for the $4,000
900 Club hotel which Mr.. Farrell pro-
poses to build in Cody.
Mr.. Farrell who left for Chicago on
Tuesday morning anticipates that he
will have no difficulty in raising ell
Their the $4,000 or in selling the club
memberships at $1,000 to wealthy per-
sons who wish to rough it luxuriously
in the Rockies.
He is promoting a similar PROPOSE
ton in Thermopolis hut on a less am
bilious scale.
MIR. Farrell's dream is a large one
and now that Cody has done what is
asked of It has nothing to do but sit
back on its launches and watch 1t
materialize.
The promoter will make Cody his
headquarters.

OF o o
HI MORTON HELD

Graham Morton, an old-time resi-
dent of Meeteetse, had his place OF
business searched a few days ago by
T. P. Cullen and one of the numerous
prohibition enforcement officers who
have been shopping in this locality
for some time.
About a thimbleful of whiskey was
found in a bottle in his pool-hall and
Mr.. Morton was arrested and brought
to Cody where he vas placed under
$500 bond to appear at the next term

GOVERNOR CAREY
SPEAKS At CODY

Governor and Mrs. Carey arrived in
Cody on Monday by motor. They were
accompanied by Senator A D. Kelly
and Chas. s. Hill, immigration COM
missioner. Governor Carey made a
trip TO Powell where he spoke on
Monday evening.
On Tuesday he addressed a meet
ing of Republicans at the court house

administration in the matter of ex-
p~enditures and general efficiency. He
declared that it would be impossible
to materially reduce the operating
expenses of the state.
Senator A! D. Kelly also made an
address along the same line, stating
that in all his 40 years here Governor
Carey's administration was the best
Wyoming had ever had.

ONE BROWNS
NEAR HANGING ROCK

Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Moore, recently
of Yakima, Wash, and now travelling
by auto to North Dakota, met with a
sad misfortune at Hanging Rock
Camp, 80 miles west of Cody, last Sat
urday morning when their six-year-old
daughter Helen. was drowned in the
North Fork of the Shoshone river.
Arising before six O'Clock in the
morning, before the other members
of the family were awake, the little
tot had evidently tried to battle in the
swift stream, as she was dressed in
her bathing suit when the little body
vas found by a boy several hundred
feet down the stream. The clothes
she had taken off were found in a
nearby tree.
When the mother awoke about 6
o'clock she called to the child and
getting no response, discovered her
absence and instituted a search.
The little body was brought to
Cody and funeral services for the lit
tie girl were conducted from the Vo-
gel undertaking parlors on Saturday
evening by the Christian Scientists,
of which her parents are members.
Burial was made in the local eme
terry, from which it is expected to re-
move the body later.
Helen was the oldest of three chill
dren, all of whom were accompanying
the parents on the trip.
