HERE-TALKS TO CODY CLUB

Senator Francis E.. Warren, Wy
omings venerable statesman at
Washington, spent the week end in
Cody, renewing acquaintance and
making new ones with his consti-
tuents in this section of the state
He was the guest of honor at a re-
ception given at the Irma on Sun
day evening, attended by both mez
and women voters of Cody and
community, nj on Monday waS
present at the Cody Club luncheon
Despite his advanced years, more
than one-third of which has been
spent in the service of the state. ax
a senator at Washington, Mr.. War
rem is still in fine physical condE-
ton and taking a keen interest In
the state and its problems. He IN
a candidate for reelection at tn.
general election and his trip tn
Cody this week will probably be his
only opportunity to meet the voterz
In this part of the state. Pressing
business at Washington, where he
is distinguished as chairman of tie
appropriations committee, may all
MIN there at any time, and he is
making but a hurried trip over the
state.
In Senator Warren the people or
wyoming have a man who is fully
informed as to every need of the
state. They have a man who can
almost be called the father Of fr-
r1gation,' a man who has for almost
twenty years urged and fought for
the development of irrigation pro
Jects in h west. 1t was thru his
work that the first large dams wers
constructed in the state, and even
nov an appropriation bill for irrisa-
tiop is never complete unless it
carries Il tidy sum for the develop
ment or completion of Wyoming
projects.
Senator Warren is the only sur
yiving member of the civil war with
a seat in the United States senate.
He is n of the oldest ranking
senators in that body, and with the
knowledge he has of state affairs
and the prestige he receives lac
to his ability and long service, 1T
would De a keen loss to the sta
were he not returned to office at
the fall election.
Senate Warren was accompanies
to Cody by p. P. Anderson of Basin
and with several of the prominent
Republicans of Cody they went tn
Powell Monday where a meeting
was held.

LICENSE PLATES WILL BE
MADE WHITE IN 1925

From rose red to snow white will
be the change in complexion of
Wyoming motor vehicle license plates
January 1, 1925. The secretary of
states office has received the 1925
plates They are white, with the
numerals and letters in jet black.
They will be almost as conspicuous
as the rose red plate of 1924.
The 1925 supply of plates con-
sists of 100000 passenger, vehicle
plates in duplicate, 5000 truck
plates in duplicate, 800 dealers
plates in t~riplicate, 200 motorcycle
plates in duplicate and 10 motor
cycle dealer plates in triplicate.
These plates cost the state 1913
cents per pair, which is less than
the 1924 contract price, 1917 cents
per pair but more than the 1923
contract price, II cents per pair.
The 1925 plates were supplied by
the Western Display and Manufac-
turing company of st. Paul, Mimi.
The estimate of the number of
plates that will be required in 1895
was predicated on the number Cor
49, 10 Sohip GU Will llt nuIlDeT
required for 1923, this comparison
giving the foundation for an es-
Innate of the rate of increase. TO
date there have been issued 1924
licenses for 3S,7OO passenger cars
and 400 trucks.
The secretary of states office
this year will follow its custom of
r%eserving for 1925 licenses the num-
bers of their 1924 licenses, provid-
ing their application for 1925 Ii
censes, with the required fee, are
received before December 18th.
Should the holder of a 1924 number
not apply for that number in 1925
prior to December Is, then that
number will be allotted to any other
person who may apply for it prior
to December Is. If there are more
than two applicants prior to De-
cember Is for a specific number,
and the 1924 holder of the number
does not apply for it for 1925, then
the number will be allotted to the
al plicant whose application is first
received.

HEARTY COOPERATION BY
THE NATIONAL PARKS

AS a result of the tour of the
national parks by the officials of
the many national parks of the
west it is apparent that a great deal
OF valuable advertising is to be de-
rived from it by the Yellowstone
and the Cody entrance. The party
of officials were the guests of AL
bert Cotsworth, general passenger
agent of the Burlington, and were
brought out the Cody-Way and en-
tertained at Cody.
A K. Holmes, of the
Rocky Mountain Parks T~ransporta-
ton company, writes Margaret Hay
den, publicity chairman of the Cody
club, as follows:
Received a newspaper from Cody
containing a writeup of our visit to
your wonderful park and town. One
of the outstanding results If our
trip to my mind is that we are now
fully convinced that all the national
parks are cooperating for the tourist
travel. | am sur we can be in
strumental in sending a lot of peo-
pie to Yellowstone park and you
may expect our heartiest coopera-
ton"
