VISITS OLD FRIENDS

Harry Weston, vice president of
the American National bank of
Cheyenne, is spending a few days
in Cody this week visiting with old
friends and attending to business
affairs in the northern part of the
state. On Monday noon he was a

opportunity of saying a few words
to his old friends and business
associates.
Mr.. Weston left Cody about ten
years ago. and has become identi-
fled with one of the largest and
most powerful financial institutions
in the state at Cheyenne. He still
has a warm place in his heart for
Cody and is able to lend some very
valuable assistance when this por-
ton of the state is in need of a

PAUL KLEHM DRAWS
80 DAYS AND 5000

Paul Klehm, who was arrested
last week. charged with possession
and transportation of moonshine,
plead guilty before Judge Metz on
Saturday in the District court and
was sentenced to 80 days in the
county jail and a fine of $500.
When arrested Klehm was in pos
session of six pints of liquor in his
car, and a search of his premises
at the sulphur mine disclosed a
large still and some 100 gallons of
mash, and about six gallons of
moonshine which seemed to be a
finished product, but which the
distiller claimed was unfinished.
Klehm is a German by birth,
and is a deserter seaman in this
country, having no papers of ar
rival to America. Steps are be-
ing taken to send him back to the
land of his birth.

GROWERS TO
RECEIVE g. DIVIDEND

Notice has been received by the
Big Horn Marketing association
that a six per cen dividend is to
be paid on all the number one
turkeys included in the first ship
ment from the Big Horn basin.
This dividend. added to the sac
per pound, which was received at
the time of shipment, gives the
Basin turkey grower a very fair
price for his fowls, and brings
the net returns to a figure which
is equal or above that received in
other parts of the state. Although
state papers have published articles
giving 37c as the price received
for turkeys, this price is very like
ly based upon the actual figure re-
ceived, not taking into consideration
the cost of barrels and Grating
charges.
The SECOND turkey shipment will
be called for December Sth, 9Th
and 10th, and will probably be the
largest to leave the Big Horn basin
this year. Turkeys are ripe" and
with road conditions much improv-
ed since the last car was shipped,
the heavy shipment is expected at
this time.

POWELL WALLOPED BY
CODY FOOTBALL TEAM
Project Teams Goes Down for Sec

giving Game-2O to D

For the second time this season,
the Cody high school football team
humbled the gridiron warriors of
the project town, the defeat on
Thanksgiving day being to the tune
of 20 points to a goose egg. De-
spite the one-sided score, the game
was a struggle from start to finish
and it was not until the latter part
of the fourth quarter that the
Cody team managed to get the game
put away on ice.
The Cody team, starting off with
a ash which could not be with
stood by the heavy, but slower
team of Powell, made it's first touch
down, and scored the extra point by
well placed kick in the first quarter.
The second quarter was scoreless
and a great deal of the time the
Powell team seemed tn stronger of
the two, although costly fumbles
robbed them of any chance they
might have had for a score.
The third and fourth quarters
were easily Cody's. The ball was
rarely in Powell territory. and
whenever the locals lost the ball.
it was usually SO close to the Pow
ell goal, that a kick vas resorted
too to get the pigskin into a more
neutral field. A dash by the Cody
boys at the close of the game net
ted them two more touchdowns,
with one successful kick, giving
them the twenty points.
The Powell gridiron was in al
most perfect condition for the con-
test and the day was ideal. No
wind was blowing and some fine
passing was done by either team

the Cody boys who had the honor
of carrying the ball through for

ELECTRICITY ASSURED
FOR SAGE CREEK
Farmers Meet Pea Man and Sign
Contracts for Big Crop Next
Year

That the Sage creek communities
east OF Cody will soon be electrical
ly lighted seems an assured fact,
and at a meeting of the Farm
bureau held on Friday evening,
of the details of the light
ing plan were worked out, with
the hope that within a very short
time electrical current from the
Shoshone dam will be flowing over
transmission lines to the Sage creek
communities, and that the greatest
m~odernizer of American history
will be available for both lighting
and power purposes.
A committee has been working
on the electrical plan for some
time and arrangements have been
made with the reclamation service
for the furnishing of current on a
very reasonable basis. Transmits
sion wire has been secured from
the government, and the poles are
soon to arrive from Washington.
Very little is left to be done ex-
cept the installation of the new
plant, and when hat is completed
the oil and gas lamp will be elimin-
ated in the Sage creek communities
and a utility will be brought to
the rural life of that section which
will NEAR much to the comfort and
efficiency of farm life.
AS to the exact cost of the new
project, the figure has not as yet
been determined, but it is thought
will not average $500 per farmer for
installation charge. There will be
fifteen miles of transmission line,
the expense of which will be pro-
rated to all consumers. The line,
"a planned at the present time will
cross the river lea the present
power plant of the Shoshone Elec-
trio Light and Power company, run
south along the street east of the
fair grounds, serving the resi-
dents there, east on Sheridan ave
nue. to the Oscar White ranch,
thence south again. to serve the
entire Upper Sage section. Another
line will follow the Cody-Powell
road. to serve the residents of Low
er Sage.
Will Grow Peas
Fred o. Arnold representing the
Kinney company. seed pea growers
of Leroy. New York. was present
at the meeting of the farmers, and
talked pea growing in the Cody
community. A small acreage of
peas was grown here this year,
with good results, and several hum
dred acres have been contracted
for another season, with prospects
of several hudred acres more to
be-<gned up within the near flu
.SIdre. The farmers who grew peas
did very well this year, and the
r seems to be one which has
come to stay. Peas are said to be
cas- to grow, put the land in very
good condition, and are a commodi-
ty which can be grown at a sub
stantial profit to all.

JENNINGS SELECTS
AN ALL-TiME CLUB

Since picking All-America foot bali
teams is all the rage, just to be differ
ent, Hughie Jennings of the New York
Giants was asked to pick an All-America
base ball team.
Jennings, who has been connected
with major league base ball for more
than 80 years. is certainly qualified to
make the selection.
Always game, willing to take
chance. knowing his choices will meet
with disfavor in many quarters. Jen-
nings spoke thusly:
THE greatest infieId 1 have ever seen
In action would be made up Of Sisler at
first, Lajoie at second, Wagner at short
and FTisch at third
My selection of FriSch over Jimmy
Collins will no doubt occasion some
surprise. Despite the fact that Frisch
is now playing second, 1 regard third
as his natural position, and consider
him more valuable all-around PLAYER
than Jimmy Collins.
THE Outfield would be made up of
Cobb, Speaker and Keeler. l have Sc
lected Keeler in preference to Ruth be-
cause l regard him as greater team
player.

found in the batting of BIuege. This
young fellow, who hit for .281 last
year, went along at a $40 pace in the
dozen battles with the Giants. He
got II hits in As times at bat, safe
ties being two-baggers, triples and
l home run. Bluege's work with
the fail was nothing remarkable in
the early games of the series, but he
quickly worked himself into batting
frenzy and ran wild in the last six
contests.
Peck got in some healthy wallops
and timely ones, too. He socked the
ball for a mark of .294. whereas he
batted but .272 last year. Rajah got
10 hits, including a double and
triple, in 81 times at bat. The leg
hurt last year did not seem to mar
his stance in the clubbing box, not
decrease his ability to step along after
slamming the ball.
In fact, all of the Nationals showed
plenty of speed, once on the runWays
They made 67 runs in the II engage
ments, Goslin and Bluege topping the
scorers with 10 taIlies each. The
champions pilfered Is bases, doing
most of the stealing in the last half
of the series. McNeely and Rice
stole 3 bases each, while Harris, Cos.
lin and Judge were credited with .
thefts each. Peck grabbed 1 sack.

Perhaps the excellent work of the
quartet of regulars who did the bulk
of the clubbing in the Giant series
