28 CARS THRU SHOSHONE
CANYON in q MINUTES

Joe Quintone, who has charge of
the operation of the transportation
buses on the Cody road and thru
Shoshone canyon, reports that on
Thursday of last week twenty-eight
OF the park cars were handled thru
the Shoshone canyon in Just 23
minutes. 1t would seem that the
system which is being used by the
transportation company was receiv-
ing some real results.
The operation of the buses this
year is handled by sending a scout
a in advance. The driver of this
a notifies each driver he meets
OF the number of buses to expect
and asks them to take a turnout on
the road, that he may pass all the
cars at once. thus permitting the
buses to pass thru the canyon with
the greatest safety to both the peo-
pie who travel in the transportation
cars and also to the people driving
their w cars. Putting % of these
cars over this difficult road in the
canyon in % minutes seems a feat
worthy of commendation.

Changes in Election Returns
from Over the County

In the canvass of the Park coun-
ty election returns of the primary
held August 10 very little changes
were made ove the non-official tab
ulation which was compiled by the
Herald last week. In the final count
Dave Powers nosed out ten votes
ahead of his opponent, b. C.. Rum
sey, while Eugene Phelps and Ern-
est Goppert maintained a sufficient
majority that a ecount of the votes
did not seem justified. Mr.. Pow

to the state legislature, won by "a
majority of ten votes, while Cop
pert defeated Myer Rankin for the
county attorney nomination by l3
votes. Phelps will be the Republican,

BURLINGTON STATE BANK
INSTALLS MODERN SAFE

Constance Webster, cashier of the
Burlington State bank, was in Cody
Monday attending to business af-
fairs. Mr.. Webster stated that the
Burlington bank has installed a
Diebold Manganese safe, one of the
strongest and most approved avail
able. and in the future those plan
ming on walking off with anything
from the Burlington institution will
find considerable work ahead of
them before they get into the cash
drawer.
The Burlington State bank did
not suffer any material loss due to
the robbery there recently inasmuch
as all the funds of the bank were
fully insured. The bank has been
carrying on it's business in an I'M
interrupted manner, thanks to the
assistance rendered by banks in
Cody and with the addition of this
burglar-proof safe will be justified
in carrying an amount of cash on
hand at all times to handle the bus
mess of the Burlington community.

DR.. ELWOOD MEAD URGES new
COLONIZATION PLAN FOR ALL
new RECLAMATION PROJECTS
Unit Holders on Reclamation Projects Must
Have Some Qualifications for Work They
Are to Do and Government Must
Furnish Financial Aid

In a special report made to Sec
rotary of the Interior Work upon
his return from a comprehensive
the West, DR.. Elwood Mead, Com
missioner of the Bureau of Recla-
nation, urged that the government
adopt a carefully planned policy for
colonization of irrigation projects
constructed in the future.
DR.. Mead left Washington on
June 8, visited projects in Utah,
Nevada, California, Washington,
Oregon. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming
and Nebraska, inspected 10 old pro-
jects and 6 proposed new projects.
During the curse of his journey,
which lasted two months, he travel
ed over 5000 miles. $500 of which
was by motor. His report to Sec
rotary Work in part follows:
"On each proposed new project
an economic survey has been or
ganized under the direction of G..
G. Kreutzer, director of the division
of farm economics. In this survey
the cooperation of the state agri-
cultural colleges of Utah, Nevada,
California, Oregon, Washington and
Idaho has been secured and these
institutions have generously extend
ed the services of experts on soil
and farm management. These ex-
perts are now engaged in working
out the problem of what water for
irrigation is worth in the districts
of their states where the proposed
projects r located and what it will

improved form. Sail experts from
the Department of Agriculture are
also giving valuable assistance in
these studies. When these experts
have reached their conclusions on
all of the proposed new projects,
they are to be submitted to local
committees of bankers, farmers and
business for their suggestions as to
costs and methods of development.
The acreage cost of irrigation
works will be greater in the future
than they have been in the past.
They are now greater than they
were ten years ago. Locations where
canals can be built at small cost
have eel utilized. Hereafter they
must follow more difficult route
and the cost of storage must be
included in all important schemes.
This means less margin between
outlay and income and greater need
to guard against mistakes and
waste. Every factor that would
lessen expense and hasten develop
ment of income must be considered.
while water charges must in
the end come from irrigated crops
irrigation works that are lot fol-
lowed promptly by irrigated agri-
culture are a financial burden to
land wners. Long delayed agri-
cultural development has wrecked
more of these enterprises than all
other causes combined. The costlier
the work the more important it is
that this TACT be recognized. Neg

William Milligan, arrested several
weeks ago in connection with the

teetse, has confessed to his part in
the violation of the law and on Sat
urday was fined $500 and given a
Jail sentence of six months in Jail
by Judge p. w. Metz. In view. of
the fact hat Milligan had confessed
to his violation of the law, County
Attorney Goppert asked that the
court be as lenient as possible with
the defendant and also that his Jail
sentence be allowed to date to the
time he was arrested. The judge
agreed as to the Jail sentence, which
allows Mr.. Milligan about AS days
on his sentence which he has al
ready served, and stated that had
the defendant stood trial and been
convicted, his fine would have been
$1,000, which he reduced to $500 in.

had been put to no expense and

FAIR AT POWELL THREE
DAYS OF This WEEK

Powell is holding the Northwest
ern wyoming State fair this week,
starting on Tuesday and continuing
for three days. Some very fine ex-
hibits have been secured for the
event and many people from this
part of the county will attend. The
entertainment features of the fair
include the Anderson-Srader carnival
company which played here. last
week, and the usual program of
races and stunts will be staged. To
day is Cody day and the streets of
the county seat are almost deserted,
SO many townsfolk are participating
in the event on the project.

BANKS TO CHARGE
SMALL SERVICE FEE
on SMALL ACCOUNTS

The Cody banks are introducing
into their institutions a policy of
making a charge for small checking
accounts where the monthly balance
does not exceed $50. The charge
is but soc per month and is in
keeping with modern banking meth
DDS as are practiced in a great many
of the leading financial institutions
of the country today.
In introducing the policy to Cody
the local banks are merely keeping
pace with the times. With the re-
adjustment and defiation period
which has followed in the wake of
the world war and an era of the
highest prices ever known in the
history of our nation, costs of do
ing a banking business have grown
apace. With bank failure after
bank failure. it has been necessary
for banks to carry a much greater
reserve, and in many ways the
profits of a banking business have
been lessened a great deal while
the cost of doing business has been
constantly increasing.
The new policy which las been
adopted by both of the Cody banks
will in no way affect checking ac-
counts where a balance of $50 or
more is usually maintained. but for
the small accounts, the banks will
collect the nominal fee of soc per
month.

NO OIL STRIKE
SAYS OIL MAN
FLOW OF OIL CASED OFF
AND DRILLING TO BE
RESUMED

There is no occasion for any of
the statements which are being cir
culated about Cody concerning the
big oil strike on the lease of the
Western Oil & Gas company" said
Mr.. Guetterman when asked about
the progress which is being made.
Mr.. Guetterman stated that his drill
was down between thirteen and
fourteen hundred feet and that it
had penetrated the same sand in
which light groupings of oil had
been found in all the drillings about
Cody. He said the oil was not in
commercial quantities and that it
had been cased off and preparations
were being made to go deeper with
the purpose of thoroughly testing
out the field across the river.
The same kind of oil, which is
said to be of very high test, was
encountered ten years ago when
drilling operations were carried on
on the Pulley lease, and also anoth-
er well which was drilled across the
river. The oil will rise slightly in
the casing and it is possible to
pump it from the well in small
quantities.
Mr.. Guetterman is still very en-
t~husiasticc over the final results of
his drilling activities on his lease
across the river and is willing to
spend considerable more money owe
there before he will be convinced
that he is drilling a dry hole. Fred
Morris and several other local men
also interested in the operations
at the Guetterman well.

WATCH TURKEY FLOCKS
R0OST ROBBER ABOUT

Earl Newton averted a serious
loss of turkeys on Saturday night
due to the fact that he was sleeping
with one eye open and the roost
robber who got away can pat him
self on the back that Mr.. Newton
didn't see fit to take a pot shot at
him with the. old shotgun.
Mr.. Newton heard a slight COM
motion in one of his turkey sheds
and upon investigation saw a man
busily putting the fowls into a sack.
He watched the operation for a few
moments and when the sack was
filled, startled the thief so that he
ran. He had a car waiting on the
highway and into this he got and
lost no time in coming toward Cody.
Mr.. Newton declares he knows the
number of the car and feels that
his visitor will o come again.
In speaking of his turkeys Mr..
Newton said that the greatest haz-
ard to the growing turkeys this
ear has proven to be the dogs
from Cody which make raids on the
farms adjacent to the city. MIR.
Newton says that they come in packs
and kill chickens and turkeys dur
ing the night and chase stock and
pigs during the day. On n night
alone Mr.. Newton lost thirty small
turkeys as a result of the raids OF
these pests which are worse than
predatory wild animals.
