WY0. UNSAFE FOR
PRAIRIE DOGS If
new BILL PASSES

Perhaps a prairie dog bit his father
anyhow, Preston T. McAvoy, member
OF the Seventeenth Legislature, an.
pears to be uncommonly soured an
the family.
He has introduced a bill which will
make Wyoming unsafe for prairie
dogs II 1t passes; and not only will It
behoove the prairie dog to migrate
but the land owner caught with a
dog on his premises might almost as
well be found with a still in operation
Indeed. the jobs might be combined
In some fashion so that prohibition
officers while hunting stills could
also report upon prairie dogs. Watch
ing prairie dog holes would be a safe
and c%ongenial occupation for stool
pigeons who are now occasionally re.
CURED to take chances.
Mr.. McVoy moistens his palms and
and ties into prairie dogs in langu-
age solemn and impressive enough to
chill the blood Of the most light heart
ed dog" that v e chartered at a
pdSbcTDy.
BE 1t enacted by the Legislature
of Wyoming:
Section 1. Prairie Dogs, Nuisance.
That the presence of prairie doge' up
on the lands in Wyoming is hereby
declared to be a nuisance. on and

ances thereafter shall infest or occupy

Of such nuisance after April 1. 1923.
Section 2. determination. 1t is
hereby made the imperative duty o:
any LAND owner to totally exterminate
such rrairie dogs upon any lands
ownor ~ him on or before November
1, 1928, and on or before November
LIST of each and every year thereafter,
and II not done on or before said
date 1t is hereby made the duty Of
The Board of County Commissioners
OF the county wherein such land is
cupied or infested by such prairie
dogs to proceed forthwith at any date

November LIST of each year there
after. when notified by any person or
when such Board of County Commits
sioners shall discover that any lands

BURLINGTON AND
COWLEY BEAT HOME
BASKET BALL TEAMS

Two Cody Basket Ball teams went
down in defeat before visiting teams
in the Cody High School gymnasium
last week.
Early in the week. the Eagles team
of Cody played a thrilling game with
a strong team from Burlington. Cody
put up a remarkably strong defense
against a team which was generally
supposed to be the favorite. At the
ends Of each half both teams were
locked in a tie at 81 TO 81, and 1t was
only in the last few seconds that Bur
lington broke the tie with a long
field goal and thus went home the
victor.
Cody boys are still confident how
ever as they should be after their
splendid showing, and hope to take
the Burlington boys into camp when
they met them again on Tuesday
evening at Burlington.
The fast team Of the Cody High
School met defeat on Friday evening
and youth bowed to experience and
better floor generalship when the
quintet from Cowley won from the
local team by a score OF "a to s.
Cowley had very much the same
strong team that came to Cody last
year, consisting of older men, and
though Cody played exceptionally
we'll in the first half at the end OF
which they trailed at only 4 to o.
soon after the start Of the last hall
fell far behind through clever long
distance basket shooting of their op-
ponents. and Cowley was thus able
to pile up a score ard continue along
the road of their long string OF vic
tories.

Made Paradise for s,roa

A naturalist Is the last person In the
world one would expect to succeed as
a farmer. They won't pillow a field II u
bird has made Its nest there. John
j.. Audubon. greatest nature student
Of his day, bought 40 acres at Car
Evansville, on the Hudson, to do some
farming. The best part Of his prop
erty was fenced in for deer. elk, and
wolves. His orchard, 200 trees Of
apples. pears. plums, a%pricots, and nee
tarines, was left as a paradise for
birds-it was Audubon's study. How
ever he had no scruples against fish,
Ing, and caught compound surgeons
In the Hudson.

CAR GOES OVER BANK
AND UPSETS-
NOBODY HU;.r

What might have been a most ser.
lou accident occurred on the road to
Burlington last night, when a party
of boys returning in the car of Charlie
Enocks from the basket ball game
at Burlington, overturned on the cor.
ner near the Pierson Ranch as a re.
suit of the sudden dimming of the
head lights.
The a was being driven by Jim
Isham. a son Of Joe Isham, and en-
cluded Lonnie Enochs and several
other local boys. and as Isham ex.
planned, afterward, the lights suddenly
went almost entirely out as they
rounded the corner at a fast rate.
The a plunged over a five foot
embankment turning completely up
side down, but fortunately none of
the youths were hurt except Isham
who escaped with but a slight cut
over one eye. The a will need a
new top and several minor repairs
as a result OF it's unusual escapade.

House Gets New Roof
In Recent WindStorm

On Friday evening, Cody was hit
by a hurricane which threatened to
put its residents all down in Powell
or perhaps even in New York. With
cut warning, a terrific wind arose
and whirled down Sheridan avenue
and the main street with a oar that
carried tin cans. dust, dogs, cats. and
almost everything else movable In
front of it.
The wind blew off the top of one
of the water tanks on the hill south
of town sending 1t crashing against
the roof of a house under the hill be-
longing to Mrs. Gertrude Brown, the
shock putting out the electric lights,
and throwing the household which
consisted of Mrs. Brown and children
into a state of terror as they CROPPED
about in the darkness wondering
what it was all about.
Several tin signs along Sheridan
Avenue were also carried away and
a huge sign board belonging to the
Cody Trading Company was torn from
its posts near the south end of town.
The wind lasted but a few minutes
however and soon disappeared in a
cloud Of dust to do some more dirty
work elsewhere.

CODY STAMPEDE HAS
THREE YEAR LEASE
ON FAIR GROUNDS

The many troubles of the
Fark CO. ali Assn have fina;lv
been ironed out and the members OF
the board, bounded from pillar to
post by creditors, are now in a posi-.
ton to look the world in the eye.
The Cody Stampede has paid the
fair and the fair in turn has paid its
largest creditor with the money receiv
ed from this source and a loan OBJ
tanned at one Of the banks, so there
is no longer any danger of foreclosure
and an auction sale of the property
which was impending. This would
have meant the wiping out of the
stock held by many public-spirited
persons, and put the grounds in the
hands of an individual.
The Cody Stampede has leased the
grounds for three years for 5000 a
year and the rental will be applied
upon the debts Of the Fair Assn,
The fair expects to be able to pay off
all Just claims against it by this
means.
The fair board has reserved the
right to hold a fair each fall, If deem
ed advisable, with the use of the
grounds for n week. The baseball
team is also to have the use of the
grounds with the clear understand
ing that they are to be returned in as
good conditions as received.
The stockholders Of the Fair Assn
and the Stampede are indebted to
the members of the fair board and
to 1. H. Larom, representing the
Stampede. who have all given gener.
ously Of their time and worked hard
to straighten out the tangled affairs
of the Fair Assn and settle questions
in dispute between the two associa-
tions.

EAGLES TEAM LOSES T
TT TO BURLINGTON

As we go to press we learn of the
Cody F. o. E. team loosing to Burling-
ton last night at Burlington, where the
local bows jou-neyed with the hope
Of making up for last weeks defeat.
Though the Cody men played except
ionallv good basket ball. the work of
their team clearly outplaying that of
the other team, Burlington finally
captured the game at a score of 16
to IA mainly through exceptional
long distance basket shooting, well
timed passes and good blocking and
dribbling. The game which was very
fast was witnessed by a large crowd.

ReparationS Problem,
By the Wall Street Journal

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.--Sterling
showed a loss Of nearly a cent at it's
opening price of $4.64. This recess
sion reflected the recall Of the British
debt commission to London following
failure to arrive at an agreement in
Washington on the question Of in
terest rate on money due the United
States. Although stocks have lately
taken inspiration from the move
ments Of Sterling because Of the key
1t afforded to proper Interpretation Of
the foreign situation, this develop
ment had no bearing on the Franco
German troubles and stocks were in
clined to recognize I'm the early deal
tngs indications that Frances initia-
tive was likely to prove effective in
clearing up the reparations problem.

other industrial favorites scored
fractional gains at the opening Re
