forest, but it has almost peer COM
pleted and in a short time all re-
ports will be in form and sent to

states a call at every ranch in the

The data which is being accumu-
lated by the forest department will

riculture. 1t will give the depart
ment figures relative to the number
of acres farmed, what products are
grown n number of acres seeded
to various products. 1t will also
give an accurate check of the num-.

CODY CLUB TO DECIDE
SITE NEW CAMPGROUND
Must memo Bylaws Before New
Site can be Purchased

Whether or not the Cody club
will purchase a site for a camp
ground and where the new camp
gr2und, if purchased, will be To-
L-3ed, is a question which will be
put to a vote of the club Monday.
January 18th. The campground
committee of the club, headed by
]. H. Vogel. has had the matter in
hand for several weeks, and at the
Monday meeting presented to the
club two propositions for further
consideration.
One of the areas which is avail
able for a campground site is south
of the old schoolhouse, extends, it
about forty acres. This area can
be purchased from the Lincoln Land
company for $4,000, the terms be-
ing $1,000 Town and the balance in
annual payments of $1,000 each,
interest at six per cent. The other
project is the forty acre tract south
of the fair grounds, and adjoining
h road as it leads into Cody from
the east. This tract can be pur-
chased for 1880; $500 down and
$4,000 due in November. Balance
in annual payments of 81 1000 each.
Must Amend Bylaws
1t was formerly planned to vote
upon this question on Monday next,
but the question has been brought
to the board of directors that it
will be impossible for the club to
contract for this land without first
amending the bylaws, inasmuch as
they prohibit the pledging of money
not in the treasury. Therefore an
amendment will be offered at a
Sgular meeting Monday, next week,
J and will be voted on one week
later.
The amendment will be decided
previous to the choosing Of the
-campground site, and should it fail
to carry, it will be impossible for
h club to purchase a new camp
ground.
The campground is now located
in the city park. This is very sat
%isfactory to some, and some people
feel that the park should not be
used for this purpose. 1t is also
stated that the park is inadequate
in size to accommodate the ever-in-
creasing tourist travel which camps
nightly in Cody. Just what pro-
cedure the club is to take will be
left to a popular vote.

PROBLEM OF
AMERICA NEXT YEAR
IS OIL, SAYS WORK

The greatest problem facing the
United States in 1925 is the oil
situation, according to Hubert Work,
secretary of the interior, who Wis
tied at Evanston, Wyoming, during
the holidays, with his daughter,
Mrs. A. w. Bissell.
Unless new fields are discovered
and large new wells drilled the pc
troleum supply of the United States
will be gone in twelve years." Work
said.
I'VE have floods Of oil now,
enormous production, more than one
million barrels a day. But how long
will it last? Whenever a new field
is brought in the owners rush to
drill it out. Oil is fugitive, each well
takes oil from across the line and
a lease, If not too large can be
drained by wells all around it. That
is one of the reasons for the wild
and costly drilling which uses up
the oil SO fast.
THE great problem is to find a
way to stop wasteful drilling; to
hold the storage in the ground until
needed. Storing oil above ground
is costly. Much is lost by evapora-
ton. There is interest to pay on
the investment in oil and steel
tanks.

MRS. NELLIE DE MARIS
RETURNS FROM EUROPE

w Americans are living on top
of the world" says Mrs. Nellie De-
Maris, who has just returned from
a short visit to her old home in
ireland and a stop in France. Mrs.
.DeMaris declares that she never was
so well satisfied to live in America
as she Is now, and when she sailed
west from England she took greater
pleasure with each succeeding mile,
even to the time when the Cody
train puffed it's way into the Cody
station.
Mrs. DeMaris describes conditions
in England as very poor, with thou
sands and thousands of beggars in
the streets at all times. France is
prosperous, as is many of the other
European nations. In Ireland money
is not so plenty, says the Cody lady,
but the people do not work. They
take life very easy, and there Is
none of the ambitiousness which is
characteristic of the American peo-
pie.
While in England Mrs. DeMaris
called OF her old friend and grand
daughter of Col. w. f. Cody. Mrs.
Frank Ben, who is a daughter of
Arta Cody noal, and who married
a wealthy Englishman.
In France Mrs. DeMaris visited

Mrs. Joseph Ganguet and enjoyed
her visit there very much. Charles
DeMaris, who went across with his
mother will stay in France several
months yet, and is stopping with
the Ganguets while attending a
French university.
Mrs. DeMaris declares that the
greatest value she received from her
trip is the absolute contentment
with which she will be able to con-
tinue her residence in America,
which, she declares, is hundreds OF
years ahead of Europe in dozens
OF ways.
