GARLAND FARMERS PRO-
TEST ACTION COMMISSION

Rev. A. H. Beatty motored to
Garland on Monday evening and
made the principle address t. the
community club which held its
annual dollar dinner at that time.
Rev. Beatty declared the meeting
an unusually fine one and the
people of the Garland community
real live wires.
A subject which came on for
some red hot discussion was a pro-
test to the action of the Game COM
mission in closing the N~orthfork.
The farmers down that way, be-
u of their farming work, are
unable to hunt early in the season
and many of them had just got
into the game country when the
order was issued prohibiting hunt
ing on Northfork. They are pre-
pairing to make a real protest to
the action of the game department

0%RTHOPHONIC VICTROLA
A MUSICAL WONDER

The Cody Trading company, is
this week demonstrating the new
Orthophonic Victrola, which is the
latest accomplishment in a musical
recreation of voice and instrument.
They have a fine cabinet machine
in the demonstration room, and are
always glad to have their friends
and patrons who are interested, stop
in and hear the new music rendered
by this modern invention.
The new Victrola is a wonder
in reproducing music. 1t is impos-
sible to adequately describe the ac-
complishment of this instrument.
One must hear it to get a real con-
ception of its superior qualities. The
records when played on the Ortho-
phonic are as clear and as distinct
as though the musicians were rem
dering the numbers for the first
time.

Is YEAR BOY AT POWELL
PULLS A REAL THRILLER

Marion Brown, a 13-year old
school boy of Powell vicinity start
ed a real thriller at the school
house in that town last week and
from current umo floating about
town, it was suspected that an
atrocity as vicious as the Loeb
Leopold murder had been perpetrat-
ed. On Friday evening, however,
the truth came to light and the
Brown boy may justly be blamed
for the whole affair.
AS the story goes, Marion had
been absent from school on Thurs
day and Friday, and his parents
were worried about him. On Fri
day evening he called his parents,
telling them that their boy had
been fed poisoned candy and was
dying in the furnace room at the
school house. Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
rushed to the school and found Mar
ion feigning Inconsistencies. He
was rushed to the doctor, and found
to be alright and later admitted
hal he had phoned the message
home, in order to secure sympathy
from his folks.
In the effort to hush the matter
up, the real facts were not forth
coming, and the rumors afloat soon
had the town worked up to a high
pitch. Local boys were charged
with dastardly deeds, and different
stories were passed from mouth to
mouth until it became necessary to
air the whole matter to the public
to end the sensation.

C0NSERVATIONIST
GUEST OF CODY CLUB

T. c. Thompson, formerly with
the state game and fish department,
but now the field secretary of the
Wyoming State Sportsmen's associa-
ton, spent the week end in Cody
and on Monday, spoke to the mem
bers of the Cody club. on the sub
ject of game conservation, which
is n he has made a thorough
study of during the past few years.
Mr.. Thompson is a ready speaker
and in the few moments hwich he
was given by the club, told them
a great deal of the work which
his association is sponsoring in
Wyoming. Prefixing his remarks
native of North Platte. Nebraska.
and that as a boy he had many
times sat upon Buffalo Bits knee.
and had played around the old
Cody home there, Mr.. Thompson
said that it had long been his de-
sire to visit Cody Wyoming.
That the game of Wyoming, is
one of its greatest resources, and
attractions. Mr.. Thompson is en-
~deavoiihg TO srganizef the sports
men of Wyoming into an associa-
ton which will be able to do things
in game legislation when the legis-
lature meets one year hence. He
admits that the game laws of Wyo-
ming are Jokes" That they need
to be entirely worked over. That
a great many of them should be
stricken from the statue books, and
not more game laws enacted, but
a few better ones.
1t is the conservation of the game
and the propagation of fish and
game birds which is one of the
biggest works of the association.
The state must be continually al
work planting game fish in its
streams if it is to continue to en-
JOY the distinction of being one of
the greatest trout fishing states in
the union. Game birds are also
disappearing, and must be given
adequate protection to keep them
from being completely exterminated.
Moose, elk, sheep and deer must
be protected by season laws, and
in some sections the large elk herds
must De prepared IOT Will Ieeu III
hard winters.
All these things demand that the
state appropriate more funds for
the game and fish commission 1t
means that a greater per cent of
the money received from licenses
and permits must be turned over
for the proper protection of this
game. Wyoming has but eleven
deputy game warden for twenty
three counties. A miserable state
of affairs where one of its most i'm
portant resources is at stake. At
the last legislature more deputies
were permitted by statue, but no
funds were appropriated for their
hire.
These are many of the things
which Mr.. Thompson states are es-
sential to the game interests of
Wyoming. He is making a trip
over the entire state and where
no local clubs are in existence, is
helping to organize them.

Clark Road Best Bet
The engineers. before completing
their report of the Cooke City road,
also investigated the feasibility of
a Clark Fork canyon route, and
their report on this outlet for Cook
seems very practical. This route
would lead down the Clarks fork
canyon. The road grade would fol-
low lodges above the box canyon.
and for "a miles which would be
necessary to connect Cooke City
with the Clark road, the estimated
cost was s915 $1,000 This route
would be almost a year round thoro-
fare, and would serve the ranch in
terests in Sunlight basin and the
upper Clarks fork as well as the
Cooke city district. 1t would also
make a very beautiful drive into
the Yellowstone park. through seen
cry unexcelled anywhere in the
Wyoming Rockies.
Supervisor. Langworthy in CON-
menting upon the report of the for
estry engineers, expressed the be-
lief hat the department would not
be able to include the building of
the Red Lodge Cooke road for
many years to come. 1t is not only
impractical from the standpoint of
the number of people to be served,
but the shortness of the season,
! with the heavy maintenance ex-
pense, would seem to prohibit any
further thought of the project.
He stated However, that nowhere
in the west, was there more scenic
or better recreational spots thar
are to be found in the Beartooth
region, but hat it will likely be
accessible to the saddle horse only
for many years to come. In 1924
the prize trout of the entire United
States was caught at Island lake,
an eastern brook, weighing six
pounds and fourteen ounces, by c.
R. Schmidt, which won the Field
and Stream prize, and that in all OF
the mountain lakes fish abound
in abundance.

NEW GAME LEGISLATION
GET HUNTERS In TROUBLE

The new game legislation which
was passed at the last session of
the Wyoming legislature which
makes it possible for the game
commission to close any or all of
the hunting fields at any time 1t
sees fit, created considerable dis
turbance in the Northfork section
last week, and resulted in several
hunters being arrested, their elk
taken from them, and made to pay
fines for hunting on the day after
the closing order had been issued.
There is much discussion on the
as to the merits of the law which
gives the commission power to close
certain areas to hunting without
more than a days notice. The
hunters who were on Northfork
had gone to the expense of outfit
ting for a week or two hunting
trip. They had purchased their
licenses, the state had accepted their
money, and they had made their
business arrangements to take an
outing. Hardly had they got
into camp when along comes the
closing order, taking from them
that privilege which they had paid
for in receiving their license, and
the same privilege which had been
enjoyed by every other citizen of
the state who lac been fortunate
enough to be able to go hunting
earlier in the season. 1t is almost
impossible to notify all he hunters
in a big areas such as the North
fork of a closing order of this
kind, and only those who are I'M
fortunate enough to be a%pprehend-
ed, pay the penalty, and are brand
ed as law violators.
The line of the game preserve
which extends from the mouth of
Garfield creek, east to the Forest
line, and which is also a hard
boundary to ascertain with any de-
gree of certainty, got Glen Newton
into trouble. and seems liable to
send this heretofore law abiding
citizen before the courts. Mr.. New
ton killed an elk on Moss creek.
at a point which he believes to be
out of the game preserve, although
it would be impossible for anyone
to definitely find the line without
a survey being made.
Arrest was made of Mr.. Newton
and his elk confiscated and ordered
sold. On Saturday he replevened
his meat and is to fight the case.
He was placed on trial Saturday
morning in the Justice court, and
a jury secured for trial, when the
prosecuting attorney dismissed the
case, and filed it anew in the Dis
trict court, and hearing has been
promised on November 18th.
S. f. Flanagan, Scotty Clark
and Lloyd Lasher were Others who
were branded as law violators by
eason of the new game legislation.

CODY FISH HATCHERY
TO OPERATE THIS WINTER

Arrangements have been made
for the operation of the Cody Fish
hatchery through the entire winter
and Supt. Majors is expecting soon
a shipment of 100000 fish eggs
which will be Matched here. The
eggs will be of the Eastern Brook
and Lochlaven variety and will
come from the Bozeman hatchery
and from hatcheries in Pennsylva-
MIA.
These eggs are to be Matched at
the local hatchery and will be ready
for planting in the spring. probably
at the end of the high water season.

The proposed route which has
been advocated for several years
by road boosters of Red Lodge, was
surveyed during the past summer
by a crew of forestry department
engineers at a considerable expense.
The route as planned came UP Rock
Creek from Red Lodge and over
the Line Creek plateau. A distance
of 26.6 miles of the road is through
the Beartooth National forest in
Montana while 1862 miles traverse
the Shoshone National forest in
Wyoming, crossing the Clarks fork
river at a point about two and
one half miles above the VIM.
Dickinson ranch, and following the
Clarks~ fork river to Cook City, and
there joining the Gardiner-Cooke
road which is now in use.
The survey is through a very high
and rough country, where the snow
fall is heavy, and where travel is
said to be impossible until the first
of July. Many pictures were includ-
ed in the report, one of them show
ing a mountain lake completely
frozen over the 25th of June. of
this year 1890
The estimated cost of the road
was made in two items, one for
that part of the road which would
be in the Beartooth forest in Mont,
mated at ~$18,372.00 per mile. for
road which would be in the Sho-
shone forest in Wyoming. The cost
and another for that portion of the
of the mileage in Montana was esti-
31.8 miles, or a total of $5S4,235.0O
The Wyoming portion of the road
would cost ~$15,464.O0 per mile for
1872 miles, or a total of $559,824.00
or a total of $1,144,O59.00 for the
entire project. This cost seemed
p~rohibitive to the forest department
and it is not likely that the project
will be given any consideration for
many years to come at least.
The estimated cost of maintain
ing this road after it is built is
SITS per mile, or 1900 annually.
In a checkup of. the of
this section, az an argument for
the proposed road, the survey brot
to light but little cause for en-
thusiasm. There is little or no COM
mercial timber in the country which
would be opened VI by the new
route, and the mineral
of the Cooke City district are said
to be much closer to market via
other outlets.
The Cooke-Gardiner road, which
is now the automobile outlet for
Gardiner is a very good unimproved
road. However, a check of activities
at Cooke City during the summer,
showed that no minerals were being
mined at the present time, and al
though prospecting has been going
On for over forty years, nothing
has DEVELOPED as yet which would
make the building of a surfaced
road into this section a paying pro-
position.

SPUDS BRINGING
BETTER THAN $500 CWT.

According to the Powell Tribune
more than thirty car loads of spuds
have been shipped from the Powell
price at the present time If above
$500 per hundred weight. 1t is
estimated that more than fifty car
loads yet are stored in the potato
cellars on the project. The spuds
bring about $1,000 per car into the
Powell community.

FOREST SERVICE DISCOURAGES PLAN
FOR COOKE CITY ROAD TO THE PARK
Road Over Beartooth Plateau Would Cost More
Than Million Dollars : Would be
Purely Summer Road

The prospects for a road entering the Yellowstone park
at the northeast corner via Cooke City from Red Lodge over
the Beartooth mountains were completely shattered recently
when the report of the Forest departments engineers was sent
out from Washington. The report brings out the facts that the
road which would be about seventy miles in length, would cost
more than a million dollars, and when finished would be open
for use but a bare three months of the year.

SPRINCTIME
Narcissus and Daffodils.
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

Is there a lovlier Spring flower than
narcissus or its gay cousin. the daHo-
dill? None so fragrant, so gay, SO
perennially gladdening TO the heart
as each revolving year brings round.
This week they are at their height
around Washington.
, OF the proud amaryllis family these
flowers are the most modest. They
have indeed that wonder of the floral
kingdom, the corona or central petal
like crown or tube which character
ICES so many of this family and gives
to them a sort of super-f1oWer. BUT
compared with the gaudy, tropic-look-
ing amarylli that were exhibited lnthe
Department of Agriculture's green
houses last month they are a gentle,
childlike type of blossom, reminding
one of Spring in ancient Greece, when
it was the Springtime of the world.
For narcissus and daffodils come TO
us from that classic land where
Uhink of IT'D they grow wild ana
plentiful as dandelions. No wonder
that Greek poets were haunted with
their suggestion Of young romance,
and artists with the symmetry OF
their floral patterns. In Greece they
must grow beside pools and rivers 10
account for the legend of Narcissus,
the boy who fell in love with his own
image in the pool and, neglecting the
attentions of the nymph Echo, threw
himself into the water and was
drowned in the pursuit of his own
charms. The grief Of the nymph
caused the gods to restore him to
earth-but as the flower we call mar
cissus, gazing at itself in a pool.
So much does our neighborhood ex-
eel in narcissus and jonquils that each
year in Takoma Park and Baltimore
prizes are offered at the big shows
held at this season.

Mercury Ointment.

The popular misapprehension of the
effects of exposure to cold or wet is
based mainly upon the necessarily
rather common coincidence of some
illness or indisposition shortly after
the alleged exposure. The. absurdity,
unhealthfulneSS and actual danger in
volved in the serious acceptance of
this myth, which is still urged upon
the laity by certain physicians and
health officers, are becoming more
and more. apparent to enlightened
people. 1t must be a source of anxiety
and uneaSiness to some doctors and
health officers who still maintain that
folks do take cold, that the more care
less or reckless folks become about ex-
posure the less prevalent are the very
diseases which these reactionaries
would have US associate with expos
ure. You see, there is some chance
that the younger laity may notice that
fact and begin to wonder how come.
To me it is a satisfaction to recall
that only five years ago when l wish
ed to purchase oxfords in the Winter
time / could not find them in a big
city shoe store-they did not keep
them in stock at that season of the
year because there was no demand; to-
day in the same store they sell prac-
tically nothing else in Winter. The
health officers of two or three cities
l could name ought TO get out bulle-
tins warning the men of the dire dan
gers of exposing their ankles-of
course the women have long since
proved that such teaching is just
bunk.
But let us get on with the mercury
poisoning. The foregoing observation
was suggested by the parallel misap.
prehension of absorption of various
