POWELL DEVELOPS
ABUNDANCE OF LEG
ISLATIVE MATERIAL

During the last hours of the per
iod for filing nomination papers for
legislative offices, the people of the
lower part of the county came to
the front and both the Republican
and Democratic tickets were filed,
with the exception of a candidate
for the senatorial office on the Re-
publican ticket.
The candidates for offices in the
state legislature will be C. Grant
Caldwell, who filed his nomination
papers several weeks ago. D. E.
Powers and B. C. Rumsey on the
Republican ticket and Leo Werts
and Harry Heck on the Democratic
ticket. John Cook is the only can
didate for the state senate and it
is very unlikely that he will be op-
posed for this office.

CODY GIRL MAKING GOOD

The younger set of the Cody
Camp Fire girls under the guardian
ship of Miss Eva Larson are plan
hing a week end in the forest, after
which they will organize for winter
programs. Miss Larson is rendering
invaluable service and mastering
the diverse activities at the local
forest office where she is giving
extra time during the peak" load
incident to the dawn of Uncle Sans
new fiscal year, when every cent is
accounted for to the bureau of the
budget. Cody is fortunate in ben
citing by the return of students of
Miss Larson's calibre when they gra-
duate from eastern schools.

POWELL MAN HAS
NARROW ESCAPE FROM
DROWNING IN DITCH

Jake Lehr. n of the ranchers
of the Powell project, had a serious
accident one day last week when he
"a his car into the Frannie ditch
at a place where the water course
was about ten feet deep. Mr.. Lehr
was driving a closed car and just
how he managed to get out of the
vehicle and on top and call for
help is very problematical, but this
he did and he feels very grateful
that he had the faculties to make
his escape.
According to stories told regard
ing the accident, Mr.. Lehr was re-
turning home in a not too sober
condition and had been flirting with
the sides of the road to a very
great extent all the way out to the
Frannie ditch. At this place he
seemed to lose control of his car
with the result that it ran into the
ditch, remaining in an upright posi-
ton After getting out he caused
much CONSERVATION by asserting hal
he was not sure but he had two
passengers with him in the car.
This idea was not given much CON
sideration due to the fact that sew
people had seen him Rambling
up the road and stated hal he was
alone in the car.

CAR GOES
OFF RIVER HILL

Another car went over the bank
on the River hill Friday afternoon
when a Ford touring car containing
Mrs. Edna Rains, Mrs. Jimmie Hub
bell and little daughter Marjorie,
went over the bank a short distance
below the place where the Ned Frost
accident occurred a few weeks age.
Luckily the party escaped with a
few minor bruises and little dam
age was done to the car
The party was returning from the
station when Mrs. Hubbell, who was
driving. was compelled to stop on
account of other cars being at a
standstill part way up the hill. The
footboard had slipped out of place
so that it interfered with the work
ing of the foot-pedals and the car
started backward down the hill,
leaving the road and going over
the bank. The machine retained
an upright position until it reached
the bottom of the embankment
where it turned over, throwing the
two elder occupants out. The little
girl, who was caught beneath the
top, did not utter a sound until her
frightened mother removed her
when she said, "ooh, 1 got dirt in
my mouth" and began to cry. The
Rains dog, mig" occupied the real
seat with little Marjorie and when
the a went over he lost his nerve
and ran for all he was worth and
kept his distance until the car was
righted and ready to go on to town.
mig" is very enthusiastic about rid
in in a car, but it took considerable
coaxfng to get him into the car
again.

KINDER MUST BE
NOMINATED BY PETITION

In the matter of the nomination
of Mr.. Kinder for the United States
senate the filing will have to be
made by petition, as the Confer
ence for Progressive Political Ac-
ton has not polled a sufficient vote
in this state to entitle it to a place
as a political party on the ballot.
1t will be recalled that he vas the
leading candidate against Governor
Ross two years ago and that he
nosed out ahead of Ross in some
of the counties. He carried Big
Horn, Fremont, Goshen, Park,
Sheridan and Mr. Ross own county
Of Laramie, beating him in this
bailiwick by more than 800 votes.
There was a lot of bitterness en-
gendered by the fight. Mr.. Kinder
says that he was promised by the
Democrats 1t the time of the meet
ing of the Conference for Progress
sive Political Action two years ago
that they would support him and
that they afterwards brought out
Ross and gave him the d~oublecross.
The big vote he polled proved that
he was championed by a large num-
Der of influential people.

DAY CODY EDITOR
VISITS in CODY TOWN

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hook are
spending a few days in Cody this
week after touring Yellowstone
park. Mr.. Hook was the editor of
the Cody Enterprise during the
years 1905 and 1906, and marks a
great change in the Buffalo Bill
since that period of his res
ldence here. Mr.. Hook is. now en-
gagged in the mechanical manufac-
turing business in Massachusetts,
n is better satisfied in that bus
mess than he was with his short
Newspaper career.
Mr.. Hook says that he was in
Cody when she was wild, when
Things were moving rather brisk.
n when the old frontier customs
were still in vogue, even though at
that time Cody was one OF the few
towns III the state which had failed
to fall in line with state laws which
were enacted to curb the wild
ness and "lawlessness" of the
western frontier. He is enjoying
MS trip very much and left Tues
day for his home in the east.

BARRY WILLIAMS TAKES
GUEST ON YELLOWSTONE
LAKE CANOE TRIP

Barry Williams returned the first
of the week from Yellowstone park
where he las een on a canoeing
expedition with M of his guests
from Deer Greek lodge. The two
young men have been in the park
for about ten days, camping out.
and canoeing from one of the noun
tain lakes to another, and report
a fine outing.
This sort of an outing is a new
departure in entertainment of east
erners and is a sport which will
probably develop in the next few
years to a very great extent. For
canoeing and fishing and mountain
camps, there is no more ideal place
in the world than Yellowstone park.

SOLICITING FUNDS TO
AID STARVING GREEKS

Nelson j. McKenna is spending
a few days in Cody in the interest
of the millions of needy Greeks
and starving and under-nourished
children of his home land. He is
asking funds of only Greaco-Amer-
leans and hopes to meet the few of
his nationality while here.
Mr.. McKenna was in Constan-
tinople at the time of the burning
of the city of Smyrna and the slaugh-
ter of the Greeks at the hands of
the Turks at Antolia. There were
about 10000 lives taken and the
beautiful city destroyed at the time.
MI. McKenna is a very interesting
gentleman to talk with and is very
sincere in his campaign for funds
to aid his needy people. Little or
hone of the money goes out of this
country, but is used here to pur-
chase foodstuffs and clothing to be
shipped across the ocean.

Contrary to previous reports. these

SHOSHONE FOREST
MAY SOON BEGIN
TO CUT TIMBER

From Peter Keplinger, per-
sonnet training officer of the
Forest Service, who returned
to Denver last week after sew
eral weeks spent in a timber
cruise over the Shoshone for
est, comes the following reac-
ton in the Service Bulletin
just received at the local Of
flee.
II had always been under
the impression that it was a
barren waste given over to
''picket-pins" and dudes"
with a little grazing in some
of the Out-Of-the-way- places.
What was my surprise to find
that it is n real timber for
est with a stand of about four
billion feet and some of it,
much of it, as fine timber as
L have ever seen. 1t isn't so
awfu1ly darned inaccessible
either. I should not be sur
prised at an annual cut of
30 million within the next
five years, for when the Sho-
shOne bunch start after any
thing, they are pretty apt to
get it, and they seem to have
the idea that it is now time
to begin"

POWELL PLEASED With MUNICIPAL
ELECTRIC LIGHTING SYSTEM IN USE
Use of Government Current Proving Satisfac.
tory to Project Town

A committee of two members of the town council and two
members from the Cody club made a trip to Powell on Thurs
day of last week with the purpose of learning at first hand
how the project town was making it with their municipal light
ing system, they taking advantage of the electrical current
generated at the plant at Shoshone dam.
Although it would take an electrical engineer to fully COM
.prehend some of the things which enter into a contract with
the government in the purchase of current, a record of the
transactions with the government. during the past year, and a
showing of the books of the town of the town of Powell for the
year 1928, the first year which the power has been furnished
by the government there, disclosed the fact that the street
lights of the town of Powell, and the power used there for
pumping water for domestic purposes, has cost the town an
average of $653O per month, less than one-third what Cody
pays for her street lights. In addition to this the light con-
sumers of Powell have received their lights for 10c per klowatt
for the first 20 kilowatts and 4 cents for additional kilowatts
used. Powell pays to the government each month between $3.50
and $500 for the current it uses.
1t was shown to the committee that these figures were ar
rived at after figuring interest on an investment of SIT 900 (he
cost of the Powell distribution system new and allowing for a
ten per cent depreciation each year, together with all mainten-
ance costs.
Mayor Scott Lyal says they are very much pleased with
the use of the government current, and hope that when a more
general use is made of it on the flat that it will be more prac-
teal and cheaper than it is at the present time. The demand
charge which is paid seems to be too high, said the mayor, and
an effort is being made to get some adjustment made by the
government.
The cost of operating the street lights during 1923 was
$653O per month. Powell has % $50 c. p. street lights on it's
main street, eight of them to the block, which are said to throw
a light equivalent to the old style arc light used in Cody, al
though they do not use as much current; they also have 40

Power Rate Too High
1t is admitted by the business
men of Powell that the power rate
is too high at the present time and
they are now working On a new
plan which will relieve this draw
back. The alfalfa mill is not using
electrical power owing to the fact
that they are buying a fuel for the
big engines at &c per gallon and
should they use the electric current
would drive the peak load to a
height which would mean a loss to
the town of Powell. Where only
a small use is made of the power,
and where motors aggregating less
than " h. p. are used, no service
charge is made, and the
pays the regular light rate of 20
and 4 for current used. In many
instances this is the cheapest way
to purchase inasmuch as the service
charge on motors in little use
amounts to more than the current
consumed.
A few comparisons were made in
the rate charges in Powell under
the system used there n the rates
