GENEVA, June 16.-The pronounce

from the statesmen of many lands
VINO are here either as members of
the council of the league or as dplo-
matte observers of the proceedings.
The gist of the opinion is that this
development in American political
ne indicates increased cooperation
%lth Europe. The nomination of
Brig. Gen. Charles B. Dawes for Vice
PRESIDENT is interpreted by some per-
sons here as proof of this trend.
Favor Court Proposals.
The Coolidge Harding World Court
projects are regarded as entirely ac-
ceptaDle to the present members of
the w orld Court of Justice just as
the Pepper plan and the Lodge prof.

gates and observers here as entirely
unacceptable.

pressed today that the United States

Out of the fifty-seven states. which
are members of the international

belief in the bureau and possibly a
move in the direction of eventual
German mem bership in the league of

the British premier, has been strongly
advocating. 1t is thought here that
Germany's entrance into the league
is but a question of time: that it is
bound TO come with the settlement of
the questions of reparations and Sc

Scott Lyall Urging
Alfalfa Mill for Cody

Scott Lyall, who was up from Pow
ell on Saturday states that he is urg-
ing that the alfalfa mill at Garland
be moved to Cody and making a
strong effort to that end. If this
could be accomplished it would prove
of great benefit to local ranchers who
now have no market for their hay
when the winter is mild and the stock
men find no necessity of feeding.
Beginning on December 10Th the al
falfa mill at Powell, of which he has
been manager for a number of years,
put on two shifts and is now running
day and night. The mill is now con
tracing for all the hay the ranchers
have to sell. He believes that pros
perity is just around the corner for
the Powell flatters who have had more
than their share of lean years due to
many causes. He has concentrated
all his energy upon making the Powell
mill a successful enterprise and a ben
eft to the community.

MIGHT BRING
R.R. INTOC0DY

The Great Western Sugar Company
in placing before the officials of the
Burlington railway the feasibility of
building its railroad and moving the
depot on the south side of the river
into Cody.
1t is learned that the sugar COM
pany is to make a survey among the
ranchers of this community to ascer-
tain the amount of acreage that can
be procured for the raising of sugar
beets.
If enough acreage can be contract
ed for to make sufficient tonnage it
is the intention of the sugar company
to have their traffic manager meet
with the railroad officials and show
that enough tonnage has been ar
ranged for to justify the railroad be-
ing brought into Cody.
II the argument is convincing
enough to be considered by the rail-
road officials to warrant the moving
of the road to the south side of the
river the sugar company vii build a
beet dump at Lower Sage creek and
one in Cody.
With the railroad running into Cody
the Peters Alfalfa Meal company
would erect a mill which would handle
a large amount of alfalfa hay and
would open a market for the surplus
hay that has to be carried over from
one year to another on account of the
cost of handling it between town and
the present depot.
