NO MOOSE TO Be
KILLED THIS YEAR

No bull moose hunting permits will
be issued by the Fish and Game de-
partment of Wyoming this year, it
was announced at the office of that
department Thursday. The reason
for this is because the state has adopt
ed n program of game preservation
with the idea of bringing the moose
herds back to the strength of num-
bers of several years ago.
1t was noticed that the moose herds
had materially increased during the
winter, and practically no losses had
occurred from'the weather. With that
knowledge at hand, the Game and
Fish board at its meeting last We'd
nesday decided to put up the bars and
not allow slaughter of any of these
heretofore fast disappearing animals
By this, the herds car be increased
in number and later on, when the
herds become too large, then the
hunting permits may be issued.
The penalty for violation of the law
forbidding the shooting of the moose
is-confiscation of carcass and hide
and fine of not exceeding $500.
Snow melting on the feeding
grounds in the Jackson Hole c%ountr,
has caused the state to discontinue
feeding hay to the elk which have
wintered on the state preserve thi.
year. 1t was found that the elk coult
forage around and get enough feeo
without having to rely on the stat,
mems aid. There has been practical
ly no loss during the winter and the
calf crops in the elk heros is good, ,
report from the preserve states.

FLORENCE OIL co,
OBTAIN LEASES
OREGON BASIN
Prepared to Make Real
T~est-Expect to Drill
Within Two Months

Nj. ID. Miller, of Baker, Montana,
field mar for the Florence Oil Com
pany, of Pittsburg, Pa, was in Cody
last Friday looking after the interests
of his company. Mr.. Miller was here
to make arrangements for the build
ing of a derrick on one of the Flor
ence leases in the Oregon Basin ter
ritory, where drilling operations are
to be started sometime within the
next couple of months.
The Florence Oil Company is not a
stock selling concern, but does all its
developing on its w 1t
has a reputation everywhere it has
ever operated for being II reliable
company, and f there is oil in the
Oregon Basin it is probable these
people will bring it in.
MI. Miller states that his
is actively interested in the drilling
of a test well on the Baker anticline
in Montana, but at present operations
have been shut down, pending the
renewal of a contract with the Absa-
Development Company. The
well is now down something over
1000 feet, which goes to show that
company makes n real test when
it goes into a field.
The Florence is one of the branch
of the Flynn and Ache in
t~erests, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Mr.. Paul
Ache and his family have been guests
at Aldrich Lodge on the South Fork
many seasons.

FRANK MICHlEN IS
VICTIM OF DYNAMITE
EXPLOSION IN CANYON
Blasting Rock for Base
Of Statue has Narrow
Escape from Death

Frank Michlen, who has been blast
ing granite for the base of the Buff
falo Bill stature was badly burned
about the hands and face Friday by
a dynamite explosion in the Shoshone
Canyon.
Michlen's helpers had drilled a
crooked hole in the rock, making it
impossible to use the wooden lamp
ing bar in inserting the charge, so
an iron spoon was employed in pack
ing the shot. The metal in striking
against the granite caused a spark
which ignited the dynamite and re-
suited in an explosion.
1t is only due to the fact that the
hole was a short one, and contained
about one-fifth of a stick of dyna-
mite, that Mr.. Michlen was not blown
to atoms. The charge not being full
ly packed, the conclusion was most
ly outward, shooting flames and dust
directly into his face rendering him
sightless for the time being.
He was hurried into Cody, where
his injuries were given attention by
DIR. Trueblood. Other than the pos
sibility of the loss of a couple of fin
gers on the right hand, he will be
fully recovered in a short time.

Troop F Horses
Go To Fl. Laramie

The expensive farce of maintain
ing n branch Of the National Guard
in Cody ended a few days ago with
the shipping of the cavalry horses be-
longing to Troop + to Laramie. This
burlesque has been dragged out over
IA period of years at n cost said to be
$4,000 n year TO the taxpayers, with
no visible results so far as anyone
has been able to see save 10 furnish
jobs for the horses c~aretakers.
Even the hay was shipped in from
Nebraska so this locality was de
prived of the little benefit il might
have derived from keeping the 80 or
40 head Of horses in idleness through
the many months this troop has been
in existence.
The only fault to be found with It's
disarmament is that Il did not happen
sooner.

New York Paper Prints
Entertaining Story
or Wyo. Riders

The following story of the Cole,
mans published recently in New York
will prove entertaining to those who
knew the pair during their stay in
Cody. The transformation contained
therein has the earmarks of having
been furnished by the "gentlemer
from the West themselves.
Lloyd and George Coleman, two
cowboys from Cody, Wyo, both of
whom have won titles and prizes in
the standard Rodeos of the country,
are the latest to send in their entries
for the bronx riding and steer bull
logging events at Tex Austin's in
ternational championship cowboy
contests to be contested in the Wem-
bley Stadium, London, England, June
1923.
The brothers have been in New
York for the past four months, hav-
ing been brought on from their home
with their COW ponies by Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney, the sculptress, to
pose for the memorial statute of
Colonel William F. Cody buffalo
BilD, to be erected over his grave on
Lookout Mountain, near Denver.
The model of the noted scout, In
dian fighter and pony express rider,
has just been completed and shipped
to France. The model is nodded in
clay and is being sent to France to
be modelled in bronze, there being
no facilities in the States for this
process. Mrs. Whitney was delighted
with her cowboy models, whom she
always introduced to visitors to her
her studio as two gentlemen from
west"

material will be hauled to the drill
Ting site just as soon as the roads are
in condition, where a camp will be es-
tablished and the work started in real
earnest. The derrick is being con-
structed by w. H. Weaver, of Cas-
per, and the contract for the drilling
of the we'll has been let to the Sturn
Drilling Co., also a Casper concern.
Mr.. Stancliff says that the company
intends to make a thorough test of
this structure and will go through
what is known as the Madison Lime.
The hole will be carried down as far
as $500 feet, unless the pay sands
are encountered at a higher depth.

BooTBLAcKS WORRIED
ABOUT SUNDAY SHINING

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Lawyers,
Magistrates and members Of the
Cobblers' and Bootblacks' Union of
Brooklyn are wondering whether a
bootblack may legally shine a shoe
on Sunday-even a shoe on it's way
to church.
In Fifth avenue Court Magistrate
O'Neill fined Patsy Lento five
dollars remarking:
1t Is no more necessary to shine
your shoes on Sunday than it is to
press your clothes
In the same court last week
Magistrate Reynolds freed five
offenders with the declaration:
1T is as necessary to shine shoes
on Sunday as it is to take a bath"
Charges against the six men were
made by the vice president Of the
Cobblers' and Bootblacks' Union,
who alleged that bootblacking was
not among the exempted Sunday
occupations.
