While there is good reason to be- leve that a very large majority Of the voters of the Fourth division are in favor of retaining Delegate Dan Sutherland in his present posi- ton as representative of the Terri tory al the national capitol, 1t oc- CUTS to The News that net all Of the delegates friends and support CTS appreciate the importance Of expressing their preference at the primary election to be held through out the Territory on Tuesday
 Were 1t up 10 the voters of the Fourth division to say who is to be the candidate of the Republican party, there would be % uncer- tainty about the result, however small the vote might be. But in this election there are other divisions to reckon with-diyisions in which the supporters of other candidates are campaigning very vigorously. There are the cannery owners along the coast, for example, who do not want Delegate Sutherland to be nomin- ated because of his efforts to pro- tect the fishing industry against ruthless exploitation: there are also the transportation interests, who are opposing him because Of his son. demnation Of the transportation monopoly; and the Hazelett inter ests and Juneau ringsters who will defeat him if they can because he dared to withhold his support from Hazelett in the contest fDr the gov ernorship. These combined forces, which appear to have united to secure the defeat Of the present delegate, represent a formidable foe in those sections of inc Territory where votes are easily controlled. ] and there may be need 2: large Interior vote to put Delegate Suther- land safely in the lead. ]
 The News does not presume to tell is readers how they shall vote at the election, but it is entirely within the province of 8 newspaper ! 10 remind voters of the importance of going to the polls. Once there, they will use their own good judg- ment about voting. But it too often happens that elections miscarry through lack of interest on the part . of those whose judgment is safest. .

HUMAN FOLK WOULD
SUBSTITUTE NOSE PRINTS
FOR THE BRANDING IRON

Stockmen down in Texas are watch
ing with considerable interest efforts
being made to substitute nose prints
for the branding iron as a means of
keeping a check on cattle.
Experiments in taking nos prints
as a means of Identifying cattle has
proved successful in every case, it Is
said. For example, last October the
University of Minnesota began to ex-
pertinent and now has made 1000
tests.
THE study of comparison has re-
vealed that SO far we have found only
two prints that could not be readily
told apart; these two out of the thou
sand looked alike" says Prof. Will
lam E. Peterson, who had charge OF
the work at the university.
Taking the print of a cows nose
is a simple process-mimeographs or
plain newsprint paper giving the best
results, it is said.
1.-THE animals head is grasped un-
der one arm" Mr.. Peterson explains.
"the p~erspiration from the nose wiped
off with a flannel and the ink applied
with an culinary stamping pad"
1.-THE print is taken on paper at

GEORGE SOTH WINS
BEST GARDEN PRIZE
Mrs. Louis Chauvet Takes Sec
ond And L. Ebert Third. Ted
Hogg Close On Their Heels

The Rev. A M. Shepherd and Will
lam Lenniger, after a tour OF fnspec!
ton through all the likely back-yards
and gardens in Cody, have voted
George Soth the prize gardener, with
Mrs. Louis Chauvet second and L.
Ebert third.
The prizes are $500. s1g.00 and
$1,000, respectively.
Carl Hammitt who was to have been
one Of the judges is out on a pack-trip
SO Mr. Shepherd was asked to act in
his place. On Monday morning Messrs.
Lenniger and Shepperd started out
early and they made such a thorough
job of it that they state that what they
do not know about the b~ack-yards Of
Cody is not worth knowing.
They reported that Soth's garden
was just about 100 per cent. A really
remarkable garden, containing 35 vari-
cites of vegetables, perfectly planted
and kept, and brilliant and beautiful
with flowers. a
Mrs. Chauvet's garden, which is a
large one and looked after by herself,
contained both vegetables and flowers,
making her yard both attractive and
useful. Mr.. Ebert's also was so far
above the average that the judges
agreed he was entitled to third.
Mr.. Ted Hogg had a model garden
and would have been in OIL the money
If he had gone in for flowers but he
received special mention from the
judges who spoke of his straight and
NEEDLESS rows with much admiration.
Others who came close to being
prize winners were Jim Edwards and
william Lieb, Sr. Backwards which
contained only flowers and were con
sidered by the judges to deserve hon
orable mention were those of Otto
Konig. s. C. Parks and Dave Jones.
Both Mr.. Lenniger and Mr.. Shep-
perd themselves have back yards that
are not to be shifted at
The $50 which Is TO be divided
among the prize winners vas left with
the Enterprise last spring by a visitor
to Cody t o stimulate interest in gar
dens and back-yards. Whether this is
the reason or not, it is a fact that
yards have never looked 81 attractive
as they have this summer.

YOUNG MONTANA MAN is
IN CLARK FORK

James Lindsay, a youn man of "a
years. from Bear Creek, Mont, met
death by drowning in Clarks Fork last
Thursday afternoon.
He and some companions had been
camped on the stream below the Hop
kins ranch and the fatal accident oc-
Cured when he attempted to wade
across the stream carrying a pack
and was swept down the current.
Considerable time was required by
a searching party to find the body,
which was finally located a few hun
bred feet below the point where the
young ;la entered the water.
Coroner vogel was called on the
phone; but after questioning witnesses
and a~scertaining that death was purely
accidental, considered it Unnecessary
to make a personal Investigation. The
body was taken to the home at Bear
Creek

RANCHERS TO POST
LAND TO. PROTECT
THE SAGE CHICKEN
Greedy Hunters Kill Off Whole
Bunches- Better Than Turkeys
To Eradicate Grasshoppers

1t was decided at the last meeting
of the Park County Farm Bureau hat
the members should post their land
and keep off hunters who have in sea
sons past made a practice of trespass-
ing upon their private grounds and
killing off the sage-chickens.
The farmers lave learned that Sage
chickens destroy even more grass
hopprs than turkeys and are particu-
laly valuable to them in the fall when
the grasshoppers are laying their
eggs
Unsportsmanlike hunters shoot
over their grounds and wantonly kill
off these sage-chickens to the Last
bird and the ranchers now propose to
Safeguard themselves against further
de~predations.
This step will meet the approval OF
the many who regret to see the sage
chicken exterminated and have been
disguised with the greediness of hunt
ers who have no regard for the game
laws-people who get out before the
season opens in their eagerness to
beat their neutrality-suspicious. who
shoot more than their allowance and
more than they ia themselves use
The game is for everybody and ev-
erybody should do what he can to pro-
tect it as between coyotes and hard
winters the ~sage-chicken at best has
a fight for existence.
Some of the tourists are among the
worst offenders, carrying guns in
their machines and shooting at every
thing that runs or flies merely for the
fun of it.
Only recently a party of tourists
shot up a bunch of s~age-chickens that
had been Matched in the field of a
Sage-creek rancher and protected by
him on account of the grasshoppers
they destroyed. When the rancher
went down to the scene of the bonn
bardment he found ~ tourists had
thrown away one of the chickens
which they considered too small to
use.

The friends of S. A. Watkins, can

that he will win in a walk. There is

John P. Dahlem, candidate for sher-
if on the republican ticket, states that
in his opinion one of the chief duties
of the sheriff's office should be to pro-
tect the residents of the county
against theft.
In this connection we may say that
last winter while Davis and his dep
uty. Cullen, unlimited guests, were sit
ting, g~oggle-eyed, at town and coun-
try dances, hiding in coal houses, run
ming up alleys, searching the cars of
respectable people without warrants
in the hope Of catching somebody
with a pint of whiskey on him, stock
thieves over in the Clarks Fork coun-
try stole in something like a week, so
head of cattle from Simpson Bros. ESQ
head of sheep from Frank Clark, $50
head of sheep from John Tolman.
1t will also be recalled that while
Davis was on the trail of the thief
who stole Willie Lieb's car he aban-
doned the pursuit to chase a bootleg
ger.
1t was at this time that prohibition
headquarters commended Sheriff Da'
Wis for his splendid activity"

Anybody could have known from
Bill Barlow's expression last weel

was settled upon Bill that was as
deep as it was unnatural.
1t appears that while he was asleeI
in his shack somebody slipped in and
took a bottle of bourbon which hs
had been saving for medicinal pur
poses from a time antedating prohi
bition, and in its place they left /
bouqnst of WEI peas. Bill says
thing like that is enough to make
person lose faith in human nature.

Somebody ought to do something
to these last minute candidates that
shock folks nervous systems. Look
what Jesse Crosby of Crosby done
on his bosom friend and neighbor
John M Snyder. living only eight
miles away at Lowell!
Mr.. Snyder, who has been cam
| paigning with Governor Carey,
thought he was going to be elected
to the office of state treasurer with
out opposition, and then Jesse Crosby
of Crosby up and 'lopes in and files
his petition for the same job about
a minute and a half before the expi-
ration of the filing period.
What we most admire. about Sherif
Davis is his originality. Precedent
means nothing in his young life. He
is a law unto himself. He has done
things since hi has been in office
which no sheriff ever did before and
which it is not likely any sheriff yer
will do again. If a man is to be pun
ished, Mr.. Davis likes to see that he
gets plenty.
Take the case of Winnie Knott
Winnie was arrested by Hair
breadth Harry" without a warrant,
for transporting a pint of m%oonshine
in his shirt front.
He was fined $3.50, s24.s5 costs and
60 days In jail
Winnie was a barber and, as bar
bers are not reckoned among the
predatory rich, this was a pretty stiff
sentence.
Mr.. Davis, however, did not feel
that it was enough, SO when Winnie
was leaving at the end of 43 days he
endeavored to collect a board bill of
5000 from him, figuring his meals
at the rate of .35 a meal or 20 a day.
Winnie refused to pay and Mr.. Da-
Wis concluded not to insist.
OF course, Mr.. Davis may deny this
but we take it that winnie's word is
as good as the word OF a mar who
would go on the witness stand and
swear it was daylight in January at
6 O'Clock a. m. so are printing the Incl
dent as told us by Winnie Knott.
