We recently called the attention of our large circle Of admirng friends
and readers to the fact that Mr. "copper" a drawing sl6667 in monthly
salary as gainst. sl6666 received by Sheriff LOOMS and limited that either
the prosecuting attorney was grossly overpaid or that there n a suspicion
Of graft somewhere. After giving q good deal Of thought to the matter
we investigated and are able to make the following report: Mr. Goppets
yearly salary of $4,000 when divided by - amounts to s166666 a month.
Since. clearly, the county treasurer cannot make change for a cent, Mr..
Goppert makes out his bill for S16667, thereby getting the benefit of the
fraction which, in a year, amounts to almost five cents The county clerk.
sheriff and county treasurer arr also entitled to si66666 per month, but, so
far rs we al learn, the prosecuting attorney is the only n of the county
officials who adds the fraction to his bill and claims the extra cent Never
mind. Ernest, that's the way Mr.. Rockefeller got his start.
The occasion when Mr.. Goppert sued the county commissioners for his
expense account and collected Csc. interest is another example Of the prose
cutting attorneys thrift. It will perhaps be remembered that Mr.. Goppert
once took a long chance and advanced a stoolpigeon $500 to make a Pur-
chase of liquor. When this item appeared OF his bill the commissioners
refused to pay Il, declaring that they did not are TO spend county money
for the purpose Of getting a citizen 10 commit a crime. Mr. Goppert then
sued the commissioners, and the commissioners failing to appear, Mr. Cop
pert was given al order by the Court for the amount Of his bill, 2s cents in
te-est, with 1870 for the costs Of the action.

MRS. ROSS NAMED FOR
GOVERNOR OF STATE

At a hastily summoned Democratic
convention held at Cheyenne on Tues
day of this week. Mrs. William B.
Ross widow of the late governor of
Wyoming was selected as a candidate
for that office, to fill the vacancy left
by the death of her husband
Opposition to Mrs. Ross for the
Democratic nomination doomed the
candidates. of D. ]. Howell, attorney
general of Wyoming. and Charles D.
Carey and Samuel Hopkins of Chey-
enne.
For a time during the conventions
of the two parties it looked as though
both tickets might agree upon Mrs
Ross as the only candidate, but later
the Republicans nominated E. ]. Sui
Ivan as their choice.

Cody High Loses Second
Game to Worland Boys

The Cody High School football
team went down to their second de-
feat of the season last Saturday,
when they met the eleven from Wor-
land on the local field. The game
was played on a grid with about six
inches of snow, slush and mud. The
score was eighteen to nothing in ia
vor of the boys from Worland.
The Worland boys showed more
speed and better team work than the
local high. II was quite evident that
Cody's drawback is the lack of ex-
perience, most of the team playing
their first year at the game. A num-
Der of those who have played in pre-
vious years are still holding out on
account of the fuss over athletics last
year. With this difference settled
and some experienced men back on
the field Cody would probably stand
some chance of winning at least a
part of the games played this a
son.

GE0. WILKINS HAS NARROW ESCAPE
WHEN RIVER HILL CAVES ON HOUSE

Friday morning about two O'Clock
he was awakened from his slumbers
by the roar of rock, gravel and wa
ter, and found that several tons Of
dirt from the hill above had given
away in a land slide The house was
turned over on its side and crushed
flat by the weight of the dirt. The
bedstead on which Mr.. wilkins
would have been sleeping had he not
thought it wise to move, was COM
pletely smashed, as well as all the
other furniture in the house. There
is no doubt but what he would have
been instantly killed had he been in
the house at the time of the slide
As soon as the water has gone down
from around the wreck that was once
his home, Mr.. Wilkins will start to
rebuild, but is content to live in the
garage away from the bank for the
time being.

The two ErnestS-Enest Goppert and Ernest Ricci-payng rummy
in Riccis poolhal is 4 real eomcal sight and much enjoyed by the popu-

Another illustration Of MI. Gopperts subtle campaign methods is fur

a few Of the many reasons why ne should be reelected, when a native sn
passed, making, to quote the graphic language Of our informant, more

The native o had difficult passage aeros the street, lacking frequent
ly and finally coming to anchor below the Cody Drug Store. A gust OF
wind came along and blew his hat into the street While he stood con-
Iiienng whether to go after it or leave il, Mr.. Goppet dashed across from
the lima corner and retrieved it for him, presenting 1t with a smile md a
merry qup appropriate to the OCCASION. He then resumed MS eonNera-
ton on the veraDda with som m remark to the effect that he wasn't half so
hard n those fellows as people thought he was
To be sure it a much nicer of Mr.. Goppert TO present thu moon-ut
native sn with ms hat than a John Doe warrant, but " e can't help being
suspicious Of such extraordinary pohteness at this critical period o. Mr'
Gopperts career.
After Major HOPES a reelected county chairman at the republican
precinct committee meeting, he made a short but imprisoned speech on
behalf OF the county ticket

1t is probably due only to a little
foresight on the part Of George VIII
Ens, who lives at the foot Of the
river hill near the bridge, that he is
alive today.
Mr.. wilkins had noticed for the
past week that the bench above his
house was becoming shaky and occa-
sionally rocks and loose dirt were
rolling down into his door yard. he
believes this was caused either from
springs in the hill or by seepage wa
ter from the bitches above.
On Thursday evening the bank
looked more threatening than ever
before. so Mr.. wilkins, feeling that
it would not be safe to stay in the
house that night, moved his bed and
trunk to a building farther away
from the bank and formerly used as
a garage. He had intended moving
his other household goods the follow
ing morning.

drainage districts to be formed in the

very active in all enterprises to pro-
mote the interests of Wyoming.
He has many business interests
outside of his profession, having a
ranch at Emblem, between Cody and

banking.
Mr.. Sullivan is public spirited and
absolutely honest and fearless. He

mony and he has the ability to handle
state business. That he is a good CT

Word from Albany Is that there In
little, II any, likelihood Of an agree.
ment being reached between the re-
publican assembly and the democratic
senate, and that the session will prob
ably end without anything being &C.
complished on these measures.
A crisis was reached yesterday
when Speaker Machold Of the as
senably declined the suggestion Of Gov.
Smith to meet Elihu Root and other
prominent republicans in conference
over democratic and republican views
on the constructive legislation, with
the hope of reaching a compromise.
The effort had been encouraged by the
recent success Of Gov. Smith In win
ming republican support in the senate
for his bills.
Speaker Machold refused In a rather
curt letter, in which he held that It
was not the constitutional prerogative
Of the chief executive nor Of the
chosen leaders Of the more numerous
branch of the legislature to meet be.

lation. He commended that the proper
place for the outside conferees to pre-
sent their views is in open session Of

If the legislature adjourns without
constructive action it will make the
third failure Of Gov. Smith to get his
legislation through. This will afford
ground for speculation upon the politi.
cal effect Of the deadlock.

Cipher Messages.

Cryptographers will be greatly slim.
ulated in their studies of mystic writ
ing by the introduction into the naval
oil inquiry Of kilograms written in
cipher. Doubtless thousands of stu
dents Of secret codes will start imme.
diateiy to figure out the hidden
meanings, unless they are revealed in
further testimony. For there Is no
more fascinating study than the So
luton Of codes. It has all the lure
Of the difficult pursuit Of the con.
cealed.
During the late war much was
heard Of codes in use by the military
and diplomatic forces. There were
tales Of stolen codes, and doubtless
some Of them were true. In war
time q code Is most jealousy guarded;
and, on the other hand, the most des.
perate attempts are made by enemy
powers to obtain possession Of the
keys. It becomes necessary to change
codes from time to time, occasionally
in the course Of a single message, for
purpose Of confusion. A mixing Of
two codes, with a secret key to Diff
ferentiate between them. has been un.
dertaken to the same. end Of perfect
concealment.
The dght3between the code-makers
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1924-02-29

and the code.readers is persistent. It Is
q battle Of wits. The code.maler tries
to devise system Of symbols which
win leave no clue on the surface. The
code.reader, skilled by practice and
gifted with powers Of deduction and
analysis. detects signs Of relationship
between apparently detached and un.
related words and letters and works
out g. solution.
It Is said that there is no code that
cannot be solved, in time. Perhaps
that Is true. But it would seem that
by the use Of absolutely arbitrary
words, involving an elaborate key, a
code can be devised that will defy
detection. Sometimes a little known
book is chosen, with Encouragement
Of mineral references which point to
pages, lines and words. Unless the
title Of the book is discovered the key.
seeker is likely to be completely
baff1ed.
Code reading requires time, patience
and shrewdness, with imagination and
highly developed deductive powers.
Writers Of fiction have made the
game seem comparatively easy by
their tales Of skill in the solution OF
code mysteries. But It is always to be
remembered that such cases are
founded upon preknowledge of the
key. It Is easy to work back from a
known fact to a show of logical in.
ference leading up to the solution.
Edgar Allen Poe's great short
story, "The Gold Bug" stimulated a
keen interest In cryptology. From
that came many other tales of hid.
den treasure and of crime and mys.
terry in which codes figured, with
keen-minded solvers Of the problems
mastering the secrets. Probably now
the code messages in the Oil inquiry
will become the subject Of concen.
trated study by an army of amateur
code students.
