THREE NEW BUSINESS
FIRMS TO OPEN SOON

Cody is to have three more bus
mess houses during the next thirty
days-an additional bakery, a drug
store and an art and novelty shop.
The first to open will be The
Pine Needle Bear. the art and nov
city shop which is to be conducted
by Miss Olive Fell in the building
next to Mrs. Wards Needlecraft
shop. Miss Fell is an artist her
self of much ability and plans to
open a shop which will have a dis
tinctive western atmosphere. and
she will carry a line of western
souvenirs and novelties, many of
which will be of her own designing
and creation.
Henry Jones is preparing the
building vacated by the Carpenter
plumbing shop next to the Home
Supply, as a bakery, and also plans
to handle a line of homemade can
dies. Mr.. Jones has had consider
able experience in work of this
character and will be a strong ca
terer to home trade with a fresh
line of pastry and delicious candies.
The new drug store is being
launched by w. w. Green, for sev-
eral years pharmacist at the West

open a modern pharmacy in the
room west of the Brundage Hard
ware, and will put in a new stock

OIL COMPANIES WOULD
WELCOME COOPERATION
In REPAIRING BRIDGE

One of the greatest drawbacks IN
the development of the oil land on
the north side of the Shoshone river
is the inaccessibility of the field, and
with the activities there this spring
it begins to look as though the I'M
provement of the old bridge across
Cottonwood creek would be an &c
onomic necessity. The development
OF this oil field demands that a
great deal of heavy hauling will be
required to get rigs and equipment
to the location. The road being
used at the present time is a very
temporary one, with almost impos-
sible grades, and during a wet spell
is entirely un~serviceable.
The companies operating across
the river at the present time are to
seek the cooperation of the bus
mess men of Cody, the town, the
county board and others interested.
to see if this bridge cannot be e
paired and placed in a serviceabie
condition, which will NEAR making
the oil field accessible to both
trucks and lighter cars carrying the
workmen to and from their work.
Five oil s~yndicates, composed OF
the Union of California, the Con
t~inental Mutual, the Gueterman in
terests, Mooney and Washington and
the Taylor Brothers operators. have
holdings in this field. and are viii
ling to lend their aid and
assistance in putting the proposed
project through.

CHICAGO, April 4.-Charging the
Chicago sanitary district with visit

River, the Izaak Walton League of
America today called on the Federal

In a resolution alleging violations

that the Illinois River had been
made an open sewer. Congress was
asked TO provide in bills dealing with
the withdrawal of waters from Lake
Michigan that the Chicago district
receive no permits to withdraw water
until it had given adequate assur-
ance that it's canals would not be

The Tidal Basin has a real purpose

When the tide is slack on the ebb

These are the last of the coal
burners, and coal burning battleships
are no longer satisfactory units Of the
United States fleet. Conversion to
oil will increase the effective steam
ing radius of these vessels greatly,
and place them on parity with other

comfort Of the personnel manning
them; will increase the economy Of
operation, and will increase their
mobility, and hence that of the battle
fleet, by decreasing the time con-

One OF the very important altera-

These "blisters" are in reality an
other hull, placed outside the present

attack. AS far as anti-aircraft pro-
lection goes, they are practically OBJ
solete, although they will have to
give many more years of service a s a
result OF the arms treaty. The ves-
sells while in the yards will have
placed on the weather decks armor
protection against armor-piercing
bombs with which they might be at
tackled in the event of war.
The space under the blister will
be used for the storage of oil and
thus provide a cushion effect in the
event that the vessel is struck by a
torpedo. In addition, the cruising
range Of these vessels will be in
creased from 1000 to $4,000 miles.
with greater mobility so they can

time of coaling, their crews are dis

takes a dozen or so men TO handle
the hose lines in oil refueling and it

the re1uVenation or mooeTniShtlon
