PARADE Of
KHAN IS
CUT
Size of the Demonstration
DwindIes As Time of March
Draws Near

District officials today refused
to shoulder responsibility for
making police arrangements for
a monster Ku Klux Khan parade
August when Khan officials to-
day announced that the demon
stration would not be the huge
affair as originally predicted at
all.
The District police plans were
based upon a declaration by the
Klan heads that from 100000 to
10000 Klansmen would be in
line, it was stated today by police
officials.
Calls Ii Local, Parade
Efforts made by Khan officials to
disclaim responsibility for this esti-
mate today aroused the indignation
Of District officials and police heads
who produced documentary evidence
to show that the request for the
parade permit stated that more than
100,O 900 paraders would take part.
l.. H. Mueller. imperial represen-
tative, today issued a statement
scharacterizing the coming parade
as a local demonstration and
denying previous statements that
it was planned to be huge ma
tional event.
In the letter in which l.. III.
Mueller, imperial Representatives,
asked for the permit, he stated:
This parade will have approx
mately 100000 to 10000 parttci-
pants with music
This letter was addressed to Com
missioner Cuno II. Rudolph, under
date of June 4.
Confirmed Statements.
Inspector Charles A. Evans, act
ing superintendent of police, today
stated that Mueller had confirmed
his first statements verbally in con-
Ierences later with police officials.
Similar statements, 1t was as cer-
Iained, also were made to Earl Y.
Fisher, executive secretary of the
Pubic Utilities Commission.
Mueller IN his letter to Commits
sioner Rudolph. assures police that
the kldnsmen will ciSe full co-opera-
ton m observing the regulations
and will hold the parade with
visors up.
Mr.. Mueller toGav told a repre-
sentative of The Washington Times
that he had never made any pre-
diction as to the size of the parade.
He said such STATE ments must have
come from the police department.
Final arrangenleE Is for the par
ade will be made next Monday. In
spector Evans ANNOUNCED that police
are prepared to I4andle the parade,
whether 1t is 5000 or 100, 900 strong.

U%NDERSHERIFF LEGAL
OFFICER RULES JUDGE

F. B. McFarlane, former under
sheriff, is the acknowledged sheriff
of Hot Springs county today as the
result of a decision handed down
Friday by Judge j.. H. Burgess
upholding McFarlane's claim to the
office and denying those of R. l..
Harper.
The decision settles a controversy
which arose when the board of
county commissioners appointed
Harper to succeed Scott Hazen,
whose resignation took effect Nov.
2. At that time McFarlane claimed
the right to succeed Hazen because
of a statute passed by the last leg
jslature which provides that an un-
dersheriff shall become sheriff in
such instances. Judge Burgess in
his decision said the statute was
''plain English" and was similar to
that part of the United States con-
stitution which provides for the
vice presidents succession to the
presidency when the chair is made
vacant.
Former sheriff, Scott Hazen sub
mitted his resignation Oct. 9 at the
same time that charges which had
been filed against him regarding his
conduct in office were dropped. The
board of county commissioners met
Nov. 2, and accepted the resignation.

NEW BRIDGE ACROSS SHOSHONE
AT LOWELL NOW COMPLETED

The new bridge across the Sho-
shone river west of Lowell, rated
as one of the finest structures of
its kind in Wyoming, has been
completed. The bridge was built
by Mcclure & Blakeslee, a Mont
n firm. under the supervision of
c. E. Hayden, resident engineer
for the state highway commission.
The bridge has a reach of 3S6
feet and has four 95 foot spans.
The bridge is of steel construction
with a concrete floor.
More than $4,000 was expend-
ed on the bridge, a good part of the
funds having been obtained thru
federal aid SO the bridge does not
mean much of a bill for the tax
payers.

JUDGMENT GIVEN
CRANE FOR DAMAGES

In a short term of court held
on Friday, Judge P. w. Metz grant
ed a judgment to Russell Crane
for the amount of $1,465, damages
claimed as a result of seepage from
the city's water supply reservoir.
The matter had beeen agreeably
settled between Mr.. Crane and the
city council, and the case was TAX
en- into court only for the purpose
of securing the judgment.
Upon the payment of the $1,465
which is damages to land and crop
last year, the city becomes the
owner of eight acres of land which
is beneath the reservoir dam, and
which has been practically made
worthless as a result of seepage
from the lake. Mr.. Crane is given
the use of the land for whatever
purpose he can make of it, but the
deed rests with the town of Cody,
and the city will not be liable for
further damage suits.

BROTHERS AN
NOUNCE PRICE CUTS

In page ads, one of which appears
in this issue of the Herald, Dodge
Brothers announce unusual reduc-
ton in prices of their motor
cars, effective December 18th. Just
what the reduction will amount
to will not be announced until
January 7th. 1926, but provision
is made that all cars sold after the
18th of December, 1925, will carry
the new prices.
The Dodge people state these
sweeping reduction are possible, due
to a recent 100000 expansion
in factory and equipment which
will permit them to step out into
a greater field of production next
year. They are making no changes
in their a models, but advertise
constant improvement at all times.

CHRISTMAS TURKS
BRING $8,251.57 INTO
CODY COMMUNITY

With the shipment on Thursday
OF last week of two thousand and
thirty turkeys from the Cody sta
ton, $~S,251.57 in cash has been
brought into the Cody community
from a source which a few years
ago was unheard of, The price re-
ceived for the birds was 39c per
pound for number one fowls, and
the shipment averaged throughout
more than $500 for each turkey
shipped.
Turkey growing is becoming a
real industry in the Big Horn basin
and the farmers are yearly build
ing up a better grade of fowls
with the result that each year the
average weight is being increased.
Many of the ranchers who have
been improving their stock, average
well over $500 t he bird, but with
the many smaller turkeys shipped
the average is around $4.OO. This
Is the second shipment to go from
Cody, and the third one will be
sent out late in January or the
first of February.
h farmers of the Powell valley
estimate that at least $4,000 has
been received there so far for
turkeys. The farmers down on
the project are going into the bust
ness with vim, and one lady, Mrs.
Perry j. Clark has marketed 225
turkeys which brought her a check
OF almost n thousand dollars.
Billy Woodruff sold a big bird
which netted him $500, and many
OF the farmers are receiveing near
a $500 average for big stocky
birds.

MOONSHINE
UNDER COURT ORDER

Under orders issued by Judge
p. w. Metz, while in Cody last
week, County Attorney McElvain
and the sheriff's office destroyed
a considerable quantity of moon
shine and beer, stills and other
m~oonshining apparatus before n
committee of a dozen Cody bust
ness men and women Tuesday after
noon. A trap had been improvised
at a man hole in the sewer and
as he county attorney checked out
the various containers of liquors,
U~ndersheriff Hancock poured it in
to the sewer.
Some of the booze which was de
stroyed dated back to the period of
w. H. LOOMS administration, and
in the Willifred stock, which was
taken at the Joe Isham property,
at least two of the kegs contained
a fluid akin to water, while at
the time of his arrest, it had test
ed high power moon. The Carey
whiskey taken at the time Shorty
Sherrin was killed, was also includ-
ed in the stock to be destroyed,
anu tht upper COnIdlneT, once ILL
ed to the brim with moonshine,
was not more than two thirds fill
ed at the time of destruction. The
key of Carey wiskey, taken at the
same time as the copper container,
was not in evidence at the destruc-
ton, and according to Sheriff Dab
lem, was not turned over to him
at the time he took office. This
key of moon was particularly noted
at the last destruction, and was
almost full of high power moon
shine which was given a test at
that time.
With this destruction of booze.
the sheriff's vault has been rid of
a vast quantity of foul smelling
liquids. which looked far from tenn
pting as it was poured into the
sewer. Everything was destroyed
which is not needed as evidence
in cases now pending in court,
as the two thousand bottles
of beer and a small quantity of
other stuff which has been taken
in the last year.

GOV. ROSS DECLARES
STATE WILL PROTEST
PARK EXTENSION
state Must be Given Right of Tax
alton on Private Property in
Natures Wonderland

The perponderance of sentiment in
wyoming is opposed to the extern
sion of the Yellowstone National
park in the state, unless the state
is granted the right to exercise
taxation over private property in
the park, said Governor Nellie Tay-
loe Ross in an interview with the
press last week.
The extension, which would in
clude a considerable area of the
state in the boundaries of the park,
was recommended in the report of
the commission appointed by Presi-
den Coolidge.
The main contention in opposing
the extension, Mrs. Ross said is
that Wyoming has never exercised
the right of taxation of private
property within the park. Extern
sive hotel and transportation enter
prises which l am told operate with
large profit in Yellowstone park
yield no return whatever to the
state of Wyoming ins taxes" she
said.
The extension would meet the ap-
pfO'"i u u hihJOIlty VI TIE people
or wyoming "if our delegation Tin
c%ongress) before %consenting to the
surrender of another acre of Wyo-
ming territory would insist that
the federal government give express
authorization to the state to exer-
else the right of taxation upon all
private property not only within the
additional area, but within the en-
tire park"
Governor Ross expressed her opin-
ion as the. situation now stands
that the park extension, would not
be advantageous to the state of
Wyoming" She declared that many
persons in the state believe that
the Wyoming legislature should
give its consent first before the
legislation on the extension is brot
before congress.
