PROMINENT EAGLES
TO VISIT CODY
Will Assist Committee In Plan.
ming Campaign at Denver

Mr.. John O'Keefe of Chicago and
Mr.. Lawrence P. Sullivan of Louis
lana; Mo-, will arrive in Cody on
Saturday, July 2sth, and will spend
several days in making a survey of
local conditions and planning the Den
yer campaign with members of the
local committee.
The members of the Sanitarium
Committee who have been working
hard and leaving nothing undone that
will further the chances for the sue
cess of the Sanitarium plan, have
been very fortunate in getting in
touch with Mr.. John O'Keefe of
Chicago, Worthy President of Chica-
go Aerie No. 10, one of the largest
Aeries in the country and Mr.. Law
renee P. Sullivan of Louisiana, Mis-
souri,, Secretary of the Missouri
State Aerie.
Both of these gentlemen are pro-
minent in the Eagles Organization,
having had much experience in work
ing at Grand and State Aeries, and
know the ropes so thoroughly that
their assistance will be of wonderful
help to the local committee in organi-
zing for the final effort to get the
S%anitarium plan presented in proper
form at the Grand Aerie, and secure
recognition and favorable action from
that body.
Both Mr.. O'Keefe and Mr.. Sulli-
van have pledged their whole-hearted
support and cooperation to help to
secure favorable action from the
Grand Aerie, and have the endorse
ment of the bodies that they so cap
ably represent.
Seattle, Washington, who boasts of
the largest Aerie of Eagles, has put
their stamp of approval upon the
Sanitarium plan, although they have
not instructed their delegates to the
Grand Aerie.
Secretary McGinnis of the Sani-
tarium Committee said today that ad-
ditional financial support must be fur
nished the committee in order hat
the plans as mapped out can be car
ried to a successful conclusion, and
Otto Koenig and Charles Stump, as
n committee of solicitation will make
a final effort to secure the necessary
financial aid.
The committe in charge of this
matter are to be congratulated upon
having gained the support of such
influential men as Messrs, O'Keefe
and Sullivan, as their experienced aid
will help materially in putting ovei
the Sanitarium plan.

way and washed the bridge away il
was six feet above the road, mud OF
the Absaroka lodge sign showing how
high the waters were washing.
Six hours later storms sweeping
across the mountains from the South
Fork country brought the destruction
of all the bridges except the Canyon
creek ranger station and a diversion
of the creek to it's old channel a quart
er of a mile westward.
Clocktower creek flat is dotted with
thousands of boulders, some weigh
ing many tons. These large rocks
we're brought from the mountain sides
by the heavy volume of flood water.
The approach to the Elk Fork
bridge also was washed away and the
structure seriously damaged, making
necessary a temporary bridge which
permits cars to pass easily.
Telephone communication east
ward from the park was cut off early
Sunday evening when the Gun Barrel
flood struck the road and washed out
the ranger line. Charles Lowe, man
ager of the Cody exchange of the
Mountain States Telephone company
was among Sunday mountain visitors
stranded at Holm Lodge and he fol-
lowed the line through the flood wat
ers and with hay wire obtained from
a road camp nearby affected a con-
n~ection that gave communication as
far as Wapiti, where word of the
damage near the park was sent.
1t was the calling into play of count
less other emergency measures and
the volunteer services of tourists and
Cody residents that brought order so
quickly to the stricken valley and per-
mitted traffic to be resumed many
days sooner than otherwise would
have been possible.

BURLINGTON CAFE BEARS
WIN A M SCORE IL to !

Last Sunday afternoon the Burling
ton Cafe Bears and the Cody Cow
boys crossed bats at the Fair Ground
the contest resulting in q decisive
victory for the colored boys from
acros the river.
The playing Of both teams showed
lack of practice, but as the game was
the first Of the season, it is expected
that with some practice and the ad-
dition of some new talent to the cow
boys, they will put up a better exhi-
bition next Sunday, when the two
teams will play another game.
A fair sized crowd enjoyed the
roofing and coaching of the colored
boys, and it is hoped that a large
crowd will turn out next Sunday to
help root the Cowboys on to victory.

DRILLING STARTED
ON P|TCHFORk COME
One of the Best Looking Strue-
lures in State to be Tested by
Deep Well; Reports Of
Ceologists Favorable

After delays occasioned by a wash
out on the road to the rig, and an in
jury to the head driller, the Big Horn
Development company spudded in the
first well on the Pitchfork structure
last Thursday afternoon, and work
will be diligently continued until the
drill tapps the oil bearing sands. This
structure has attracted attention from
some of the most prominent oil oper-
ators in the country, and has been
considered by biologists to be one of
the most promising looking structures
in the state.
The structure lies about twelve
miles northwest of Meeteetse, and ex-
tends from the Greybull river in a
northwsterly direction for about four
miles, and while it is rather narrow as
compared with some of the other
fields, it has the advantage of easy
access, and a natural grade to market.
Biologists of note who have made an
extensive examination of this struc-
ture, pronounce it perfect, and the
company in charge of the develop
ment work has every reason to believe
that its efforts will be awarded by
finding oil in paying quantities.
Practical all of the structure lies
on government land upon which drill
ing permits have been obtained, and
in turn leased to the operating COM
pany by the persons who obtained the
original permits . The entire field
embraces about 2400 acres.
The drilling operations will be
watched with unusual interest by peo-
pie who are interested in the company
and by oil operators throughout the
country, as the bringing in of a good
well on this structure will result in
greatly increased activity in oil de-
velopment work in this section.

Heavy Rains Reported Throughout

The recent heavy rains and cloud
bursts reported throughout this sec

and that the Burlington railroad in
the vicinity of Bonneville and Lysite
vas damaged by the loss of consider
able track and several bridges washed
out. Reports state that trains from
Denver and Cheyenne will be routed
by way of Alliance until the damage
has been repaired.

day for Park tourists for this season,
and n the biggest day in the history
Of the Yellowstone Park Trans. Co.,

When Dave Jones received word
from superintendent Horace NJ. Al
bright of the National Park service,

iously damaged the Cody road, and
made traffic impossible, he, in COM
pany with Kid Wilson Immediately
got on the job, with the result that
by midnight a truckload of bridge
timbers was on the way up Northfork

cured to make a daylight start for the
scene Of the washouts.
Before 10 o'clock Monday morning,
the citizens of Cody, responding nobly
to the call for volunteers, dropped
their business affairs and rushed to
the scene, taking with them all of
the picks and shovels that the town
and forest service could supply, with
the result that by eight o'clock Mon
day night, cars from Pahaska had
safely made the trip to cody.
Working in conjunction with the
force of men from the Park that were

washouts, the working forces met af-
ter having established a record for
clearing blocked road and building
bridges and detours, that will be a
monument to the western spirit of
"DO 1T NOW" for years to come.
The men who assumed active
charge of the work are loud in their
praise of the way in which the colun-
teer workers plunged into the task of
clearing the road, as they often work
ed in mud and water knee deep.
