BIG HORN BASIN CLUBS
TO MEET AUGUST 18TH

Harry L. Wise, president of the
Big Horn Basin Federated clubs,
has called a meeting of this organ
ization for Monday, August 25th, at
which time matter of publicity for
the Big Horn basin in conjunction
with the big advertising campaign
carried on by the Burlington will
be discussed and plans made to
furnish the railroad with the great
est cooperation in this fine work.
Officers and members of the club
are urged to be in attendance.
Mr.. Wise recently took the matter
up with the Casper Daily Tribune
relative to it's road bulletin in which
it has been warning tourists of the
narrowness of the Wind River Can
yon road, and calling their attention
to the excellent condition of the
Lander-Moran road. Mr.. Wise feels
that the Tribune's bulletin should
endeavor to be as fair and accurate
as possible in dispensing road in
formation, and from personal OBJ
.servation made on motor trips can
not see how the bulletin justifies its
statement of excellent" for the
Lander-Moran road, while 1t notes
the Shoshoni, Wind River Canyon
route as good, and narrow in
places"

LOEWERS NARROWLY AVERT
SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Loewer feel
duly thankful that the motor ac-
cident which they had on the Cody
Powell Dad at the Sage creek cross
ing Saturday proved no more serious
and that none of the occupants of
their car were seriously injured.
Mrs Loewer received a slight cut
in the head as a result of a broken
window in their sedan.
According to Mr.. Loewer the ac-
eident was caused by the drive pin
ion on his car splitting just as he
was coming up the grade at Sage
reel crossing. The car started
back down the hill and the emer-
gency failed to do the trick for
which it was designed. allowing the
car to roll backward and take a
drop of from six to ten feet in the
creek bed below. Fortunately it
alighted in an upright position and
neither Mr.. or Mrs. Loewer nor
Master Lawson, who was riding with
them, were injured seriously.

SUMMER SYMPHONY TO BE
PRESENTED AT TEMPLE

A program of classical music, hu-
morous and old fashioned songs
and catchy readings will be pre-
scented at the Temple theatre on
Thursday evening by a group of
young musical folks of Cody, and the
entertainment is such as should at
tract an unusually strong support
from the people of Cody.
All of the young people are art
lists in their musical work and the
program is of a character seldom
produced in towns as small as Cody.
Il is practically the same as was
given three weeks ago at The Meth
odist church. at which time it re-
ceived strong commendation. Most
of the participants who lave parts
in the symphony leave soon for en-
Tollment in universities and musical

UTILITY BOARD WILL
DECIDE ELECTRIC RATE
CASE In CHEYENNE

Claude Draper, member of the
Wyoming Utility Board, left Cody
on Friday after having conducted
an exhaustive hearing in Cody re-
garding the electric rate contro-
versy Mr.. Draper will present his
information gained at the hearing,
with a full transcript of the pro-
ceeding to the two other members
of the board and a decision in the
matter will be reached at length.
The attorneys for the people of
Cody and for the Electric company
agreed to present their arguments
in brief form to the board and these
have gone forward. Just what will
be the decision of the board is not
known at this time, inasmuch as
Mr. Draper did not wish to commit
himself until the entire testimony
had been thoroughly zone over.
1t is the Herald's endeavor in
this matter to present the evidence
at the hearing in a fair and i'm
partial way. and the statements in
conflict should be corrected. The
statement made in the heading to
the Herald's article last week that
Geo T. Beck received a profit of
$44,760 from the earnings of the
company over a period of six years
is substantially correct. according to
testimony given at the hearing. At
another place in the article where
Mr.. Beck's profits over and above
expenses amounted to $~45,76O.OO
was in error to the extent that this
figure included the SIS, 900 salary
item. accruing in six years at $4,000
per annum.
