Mr.. O'Keefe started in railroad
work when he was a lad of 10, and
has followed hat work until some
years ago he was made s~uperirtend-
ent of a Home for Disabled railroad
men. Those who are now enjoying
the hospitality and care that the
Home affords, were once strong,
healthy and prosperous men, who in
the days of their strength and health,
little dreamed that they one day,
would be quite helpless and dependent
Mr.. O'Keefe stated that he was in
Cody to give what assistance was in
his power to aid the local Committee
to put over the Sanitarium plan at
the Denver Grand Aerie, and that he
believed in the plan, and had every
hope and belief in the ultimate sue
cess of the Committee.
Miss Marie Hagen, of Huron, South
Dakota, next gave one of Eugene
Fields poems, "But l Dasn't," and
was accorded a hearty round of ap-
plause.
Arthur Pearson of the Eagle San
itarium committee briefly told of the
work that had been done toward Sc
curing the pledges and approval of the
various aeries to the sanitarium plan,
and stated that he felt very confident
that the plan would be put over.
Mr.. H. L. Kyes, of the Black and
Yellow Trail Boosters, spoke briefly
of the object of their trip across the
country and said that he was reserv-
ing his speech until he got to Wolf
vile, where he would tell US all about
it.
John Valentine, secretary of the
commercial club of Huron, South Da-
kota, complimented the Cody club up
on the good work they are doing, and
said that community organization,
properly directed, would achieve Won
ders.
Dave Jones said that Superintend-
ent Horace NJ. Albright of the Nation
al Park Service hade written him a
letter congratulating and thanking the
Cody club members and citizens for
the wonderful work done in restoring
the Cody road and making it safe and
passable for tourists after a delay of
only one day. MI. Jones stated that
the work and cooperation of the Cody
citizens was greatly appreciated by
the park and transportation officials,
and that he personally was very great
full for the support and assistance so
freely given by the Cody people.

BLACK AND YELLOW
TRAIL BOOSTERS
VISIT CODY
ENTERTAIN LARGE CROWD
AT WOLFVILLE with
FINE PROGRAM OF
SONGS AND MUSIC al

The Black and Yellow Trail boost
ers form Huron, South Dakota, who
arrived in Cody on Tuesday, were CIV
en- a cordial welcome by the people of
Cody, who in turn were delightfully."-
entertained by the capable entertain
ers who are making a trip across the
country in the interest of one of the
pioneer and most popular of the great
highway hat + doing such admir-
able work in inducing tourists to "See
America First"
The party was headed by H. l..
Kyes, of Huron, South Dakota, gen.
eral manager of the Black and Yellow
Trail, and included Mrs. Kyes, Bernal
Kyes, Clifford Kyes, Miss Mary Ha-
gen, Miss Winifred Brewer and John
Valentine, secretary of the CONNER
cial club of Huron, South Dakota.
Mr.. Kyes, in speaking of the adj
vantages of the Black and Yellow
Trail, pointed out these facts: The
B and Y Trail is 1905 miles in length
1t is the main artery for 120, with 10
towns that offer free camp grounds;
1t starts at Chicago and is the short
est route to the Yellowstone Park,
being 300 miles shorter than any
other highway; 1t is the most scenic
route from Chicago to the Park, pass
ing as it does through the rich manu-
featuring districts of Illinois and Wis
%consin, the immensely wealthy farm
ing and dairy districts of Minnesota
and South Dakota, to the wonderful
Black Hill district, and then on to
the range country of Wyoming, it Of
fers enroute the land of opportunity
in western Dakota and Wyoming, and
incidentally gives n an opportunity
to see the scenic beauties of the Bear
Lodge and Big Horn Mountains, as
well as Americas Wonderland, yell
lowstone National Park.
Mr.. Kyes spoke especially of the
wonderful scenery that one encount-
ers on the road through the Tensleep
country, and claims that the scenery
along this part of the B and Y Trail
rivals any to be found in the Alps.
To make the Black and Yellow
Trail more popular and used by in
creased numbers of tourists, said Mr..
Kyes, we want the aid and assistance
of the ladies, who, when writing to
their friends in the east and asking
them to visit the Yellowstone Park,
just add a little paragraph and tell of
the advantages of the Black and yell
low Trail, of it's scenic beauties and
the fact that it is 300 miles shorter
than any other route to the Park.
The entertainment given by the
Trail boosters was greatly enjoyed,
especially the violin solos by Miss
Brewer, the songs by the quartet, the
readings by Miss Hagen and the clev-
err cartoons by Master Clifford Kyes.

game birds.
For the last three or four days the

II Is estimated that over n hundred
men and boys, and some women were
out to take advantage o fthe opening
of the season.

port issuing many liscenses, and while
those who have the reputation of be-
ing the best shots In this community

Tourists Protest False Reports
On Condition of Various Roads

Custer Hiway secretaries feel that
Cody should not permit condemnation
of the road that allows tourists to
connect with the Custer route on their
return to the east. Such condemna-
ton, he declares is unjust to the Gus
ter Hiway, to the other towns between
Cody and Billings that cooperate
with Cody in the promotion of the
Billings Cody Way and last, but per-
haps of first importance, the tourists.
Service to the tourists is the OBJ
~jective of the Custer Hiway Bureau
in Cody, Roberts declares. He says
that the C. B. H. serves no individual
community, that its interests are
than statewide, that it is a route Civ
ing tourists easy access from the mid
die west to the Yellowstone and
Glacier parks. He declares that II
the tourist is misled that he will re-
member the city where some thought
less person sent his astray, or persuad
ed him to take on road. when another
IA more direct.
The Billings Gazette in an editorial
last week headed "Betwixt Devil and
the Sea" expressed Billings neutraii-
ty in the fight between Livingston and
Cody for the tourist traffic to yell
lowstone park, and denied claims 1t
said had been made in both Cody and
Livingston that Billings was sending
more tourists one way than the other.
That any false information travels
far is substantiated in a telegram re-
ceived by the Irma Hotel Monday
from Colorado Springs where a pro-
spective visitor to the park said that
he had been advised the Cody en-
trance to the park is impossible.
Fair play to the tourist, Roberts
says, is the best and only policy any
community or resident should pursue.
Throughout the summer the Custer
Hiway Bureau has received com
plants from tourists that they have
been told in Bowler to leave the mark

One of the most successful and
pleasant of the many informal ban
quets given by the Cody club was held
at the Irma hotel on Monday evening,
when the Club was host to Col. Allen
S. Peck, district forester of the Rocky
Mountain district; John O'Keefe of
Chicago, past worthy president of the
Chicago Aerie No. 10, F. o. E. and
Mr.. H. l.. Kyes and the Black and
Yellow Trail boosters from Huron,
South Dakota.
The spacious dining room of the
Irma was filled with club members
and their guests, over IT'S being pres
ent to enjoy the substantial repast
that was served.
DR.. r. C. Trueblood, presided as
POSTMASTER and, after a few well
chosen Introductory remarks, intro
duced Colonel Allen S. Peck, district
forester of the Rocky Mountain dis
trict.
Colonel Peck thanked the Cody club
and citizens for the loyal and hearty
support that has at all times been ex-
tended the forestry service. " l have
just completed a trip of inspection in
the Lander and Dubois fields" said
Colonel Peck, land found the road
through the Lander entrance in fair
shape, AMI / believe that the trip over
the Cody Way or the Lander way and
through the park to be one of the
most ideal trips that one could i'm
agine.
Congressional aid has made possible
much new road work and the road
that is being constructed on Soutlifork
l. n that will be of great advantage
To the ranchers along the river as
well as to the forest service. Colonel
Peck said that he hoped that the
pleasant relations between the forest
service and the citizens of this COM
munity would continue, as the coop
Grafton would result in much good to
both.
John O'Keefe, of Chicago, past
worthy president of the Chicago aerie,
made an inspiring talk upon the prin-
ciples of fraternalism. and the helping
hand and aid that is always available
to members of the F. o. E., as well
as other organizations.
Fraternal organizations, said Mr..
O'Keefe, are leaning toward the build
ing of Sanitariums in which to care
for their unfortunate dependent MEM
bers, and he believed that Cody Aerie
was or the right track in proposing
that the Fraternal Order of Eagles
build a great sanitarium in which to

CODY FOLK TO VISIT
~CRASSHOPPER GLACIER
MARTIN RANMAEL TO EN-
TERRAIN PARTY AT PIO-
NEERS PICNIC ON
AUGUST 5th

Martin Ranmael, an old timer of the
Crandall Creek country, and the man
who discovered and named Grasshop-
per Glacier 81 years ago, will be host
to a party of seven Cody people at a
picnic to be held at Grasshopper
Glacier on August 9Th, 1928.
Grasshopper Glacier is al immense
body of ice into which is frozen mil
lions of grasshoppers, and is probably
the only glacier of its kind in the
world. Properly speaking, the glacier
is divided into three bodies. When
it was first seen by Mr.. Ranmael, it
was one huge mass of ice, but the
passage of time and the action of the
elements has caused the mass to sepa-
rate, and at present there r three
large bodies of ice, only a short dis
lance apart, and literally shot full of
frozen hoppers.
When the glacier was in process of
formation, no one knows how many
years ago, it is evident from its pre-
sent appearance, that each succeed
ing year added it's toll of hoppers, as
the glacier resembles a stratified rock
formation; first a layer of ice, then
3 or 4 inches of hoppers, more ice,
thin layer of sand %andgravel, more
ice, another layer of hoppers and so
on. Although the hoppers have been
imprisoned in their icy bed for per-
haps hundreds of years, they are still
fresh, and would make good fish
bait.
The Glacier is located about Is
miles northeast of Cook City, at the
head of West Rosebud Creek.
The party will leave Cody on We'd
nesday August LIST, and go with pack
outfits from the Ranmael ranch at
Sunlight into the Glacier.
Mr.. Ranmael's guests will include
Mrs. Dave Jones and Miss Eugenia
Jones, Mrs. Marion Williams, Mrs. r.
c. Trueblood, Mr.. and Mrs. Rex
Spencer and Miss Irene Spencer.

Superintendent. Albright
Inspects Cody Road, and
Finds Conditions Normal

Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, July
30.-Approximately normal conditions
confront automobile travel on the
road approaching the eastern en-
trance of Yellowstone National Park,
according to Superintendent Horace
M. Albright, who has just completed
careful inspection of this highway.
This road suffered severely from
washouts during the storm of July
22nd, but temporary repairs have been
effected at all points, and there is no
obstruction to travel. Detours r
necessary at several places, but these
only slightly impede travel over the
road. All the regular buses are operat
ing without change of schedule.
Misleading reports regarding the
condition of the eastern road have
been in circulation with the result
that a great volume of travel has been
diverted unnecessarily to other routes
Mr.. Albright states that temporary
repairs sufficient to permit travel to
the park yer made on the eastern
road within twenty hours after the
storm. Permanent repairs will of
course require a considerable period,
since several bridges have been wash
ed out and others weakened. Another
difficulty arises from the fact that
several of the smaller streams have
not resumed their normal courses fol-
the high waters. These condi-
tions, however, do not effect present

CAR OF FISH
RECEIVED FROM
FEDERAL HATCHERY
16O CANS OF ~FINGERLINGS.
MOSTLY BROOK TROUT,
FOR STOCKING LOCAL
STREAMS

On Wednesday afternoon, local
fishermen were busy arranging for
the distribution of a car of fish fry
hat were received from the Federal
Hatchery at Bozeman, on the after
noon train. The shipment comprises
some 160 cans of fingerlings, 8 to A
inches in length, and are the largest
fry that have ever been received, and
will be a wonderful help in re-stock-
ing the streams that have been de-
rlcted of young trout by the cloud
bursts of last week.
Otto Koenig, of the Cody Rod and
Gun Club, has been active in arrang-
ing for the equable distribution of
this shipment which m to us
through the personal effort of Mr..
Thompson, superintendent of the
Bozeman Hatchery, who made a visit
to Cody last spring, inspected our
trout streams, and was greatly i'm
pressed with the natural advantages
Of our streams and the interest taken
by local fishermen.
The shipment is in addition to the
allotment obtained through the eff
forts of our Congressman.
The fry will be distributed by cars
and trucks that will take them to Sun
light, North fork, Southfork, and up
per and lower Greybull sections.
Superintendent Thompson will make
a strong effort to ship another car
of fry to Cody later in the season.

WILL RICHARD BACK
FROM AFRICAN HUNT

Will Richard returned on Tuesday
from a very successful big game hunt
in Africa, bringing with him some GO
specimens, which include 80 species
of game.
Among the trophies are heads of
giraffe, rhino, Gland, wart hogs, and
zebra. A lion, elephant and hippo
were also secured by MI. Richard,
but on account of the tremendous
weight, was unable to bring the
elephant and hippo trophies.
Mr.. Richard also secured n baboon,
and says that when he shot the ba-
boon, he fancied that he saw a slight
resemblance to some n that he
knew. He intends to mount the
specimen, and anyone who will claim
that it is his or her ancestor, will be
entitled to a valuable prize.
A more detailed account Of Mr..
Richards trip will appear in a later

Several tourist parties have regis
tered complaints with the Custer Bat
tlefield Hiway tourist bureau in the
Irma Hotel lobby that they are being
advised not to take the Billings-Cody
Way as a route to the east from yell
lowstone park, A. L. Roberts, manag-
err of the bureau states.
During the storm last week,
several tourists reported that
they had been told to proceed east
and south via the Yellowstone High
way, and that in the Thermopolis
country they found it impossible be-
cause Of washouts neal Bonneville.
These parties were indignant that
they had been sent that way, and sew
eral were forced to return to Cody
and then go to Billings and make
their way down the East side Of the
Big Horn Mountains.
While Roberts says that he believes
these examples are exceptions rather
than the rule, he points out that even
these few cases have a retroactive
effect on Cody and calls attention to
an article in Monday mornings Bill
ings Gazette in which Henry J. Beal,
prosecuting attorney Of Omaha, Nebr
stated that he was advised in Cody
against going thru Billings and was
surprised that there was no feud be-
tween the towns. He reported find
ing the road to Billings much better
than the road to the southern en-
trance Of the park, which he used.
Roberts declares that one Of his
principal reasons for protesting
against the propaganda condemning
the road to Billings is The Custer
Hiway's interest in that road, but
say that such information is also de-
trimental to Cody's good.
The Custer Hiway in its informa-
ton and tourist bureaus in Sheridan,
Cedar Rapids, Chicago, indianapolis
and other eastern points urges the use
of the Cody entrance to Yellowstone
park, Roberts says, and in return the
