GREYBULL RANCHERS SEEK
FREEDOM FROM PROPOSED
RESERVOIR PROJECT
Delegation of Greybun Ranchers
Headed by Rufus Wilson Seek
Support of Cody Club

A delegation of ranchers from the
Greybull river district appeared be
fore the members of the Cody club
on Monday and presented the di-
lena in which they find themselves
as property owners in the proposed
Greybull improvement district, which
contemplates the building of a
huge reservoir at the head of the
Greybull for the storage of surplus
water for the irrigation of the
thousands of acres of land below
Mr.. Wilson, speaking for more
than rs e cent of the ranch own
ers in Park county coming under
this project, asked that aid be rem
dered them in ~eXtricating them
selves from the district, on the
grounds that the establishment of
the reservoir is not essential to the
growing of crops in the upper
try, and the additional expense
which it would entail would amount
almost to the confiscation of their
property.
Mr.. Wilson went into the subject
very thoroughly and gave figures
as to the cost of the project as a
whole and the assessment per acre
against the lands included in the
district. He stated that while the
ranches down the river no doubt
would profit a great deal by the
proposed storage reservoir, that the
ranchmen on the upper Greybull
had never, ven during dry years,
been unable to mature their crops
and that it would be an unjust and
an almost prohibitive burden to
force them t. continue in the pro-
jcct.
Many of the property owners of
the upper Greybull were agreeable
at first to the establishment of the
new district and the building Of the
reservoir, and many of them sigrsd
the petition which was the basis
for the creation of the district. They
are now asking that they be allowed
to pay their just share of all eX-
penses incurred to date and allowed
to retire from the district. They
are to petition that all those farm
ers whose property is within the
county of Park be permitted to
withdraw and states that fully 80
per cent of them are anxious to do
so.

longevity of his contract, could not
be disputed, and the majority of
the council felt that the new agree
ruent was a very good one.
Mr.. Beck plans to spent a con-
siderable amount of money on his
power plant and will place himself
in a position to supply the towns
every need in electric current. He
IS granting the same sliding scale
and discounts as offered by the
government and will endeavor to
render that same unbroken service
which has characterized the service
of the Shoshone Electric Light G.
Power company during the past.
The rates which will be paid for
current will be slightly higher than
those paid at Powell at the present
time. The town of Powell, with a
complete set of records, will show
that during the past they have dis
tributed the current to the users
there at a cost of 10c for the first
&c k. w. h. and 4c for each k. W. h.
Cody are 10 C for the first SO *.
w. H.. lie for the next so k. ".
h. and . cents for the next k. W. h.
1t will be readily seen that three is
a vast difference in the rates OBJ
tanning in the two towns. The coun-
Gil feels hal it will be able to
make a substantial reduction IN
rates to the Cody public, although
it does not anticipate placing them
as low as the Powell rate. 1t feels
that it can, Notwithstanding tie
reduction, create a fund which with
in a few years will make possible
a new modern street lighting sys-
TEN on the main streets of the
town.
The Herald will endeavor to give
more detailed information of what
the town proposed to do before the
the town proposed to do before the
that the taxpayers may have a bet
ter idea of what is to be accom-
plished by the ownership of the dis
tributing lines.

Mr.. Beck had asked for a renewal
of his twenty-year franchise. Mayor

Stump and Frost to confer with Mr..
Beck and an agreement was reached
on the basis of the town granting
MIR. Beck a twenty-year contract at
for allowing the half-cent excess
rate e the rate which would be

Mr.. Beck will appoint another ap-

When the a~ppraisement is made the

On Saturday of last week the first full carload shipment of
dressed turkeys left the Cody station, and in lieu thereof the
ranchers of the Cody community were enriched in cold cash to
the amount of $5,49762. according to the records turned in by
the farm bureau committee in charge of the shipment. The
turkeys were sold to the {. w. White company and go direct to
the New York market for the Christmas sales. Although this
is but one of three shipments to be made from Cody this fall,
and but one-seventh of the total shipment to go from Park and
Big Horn counties at this time, it is the largest shipment ever
to be loaded here, and marks the advance of an industry which
promises to be one of the most profitable for the small rancher.
