ROOSEVELT RANCHER SAYS HEADER
THRESHER CUTS HARVESTING COSTS

The machine is pulled by eight horses;
it also requires six horses on the
header. The threshing part Of the
combine is operated from an indie
pendent engine. Both the header and
the thresher run independent Of each
other. With a proper hitch it can be
propelled by a tractor.
When asked about the risk from
winds and hail, Mr.. Miller said that
it did not increase the risk as he
taEtefharvesting by his usual head
er method, as soon as the grain was
ready, and then used the combine to
thresh it. He said that he has not
lost anything on grade due. to pre-
mature threshing and that when it is
dry during harvest as it nearly al
ways is where land conditions are
favorable, he believed it very adapt

Poplar.-That the header thresher,
commonly called by some people a
combine harvester, is destined to
have a permanent place in the wheat
industry in Roosevelt county is be-
lieVed by Carl Miller Of Bredette
who has operated the machine for
the past two years.
Used One Last Year
Mr.. Miller secured a header thresh-
er last year and harvested his entire
crop with it. He claimed that by
using this machine he greatly re-
duced the expense Of harvesting and
threshing as It cost him from five
cents to seven cents per bushel to
put his wheat from the field into
the bin. Mr.. Miller is a large acre
age wheat farmer. AS soon as his
wheat becomes ripe enough to cut
with the header he starts the header
crew, heads and stacks his grain and
then as soon as It becomes q little
riper, enough to handle with the com
bine, he starts It and when this on
sration is complete he uses his header
thresher 70 thresh the headed stacks

MERCHANTS COOPERATE
TO IMPROVE STREETS

The merchants of Cody. and es-
pecially ]. NJ. Schwoob of the Cody
Trading company, are entitled to a
great deal of credit for the condi-
ton which they have placed the
streets of the town at this time.
After the unprecedented rains and
storms of the early fall season,
finding the town treasury entirely
depleted, Mr.. Schwoob, pretty much
on his own initiative, and mostly
at his own expense arranged for
the dragging of the streets. A large
drag was constructed and the Cody
Trading company furnished a high
powered tractor to pull it, and with
some contribution of gasoline, and
part payment of the engineers sal
airy, the streets were given the
most thorough and worthwhile dra-
ging they nave had in years.
Today the streets of the town
are easily in the best condition
they have been since early spring,
when a great deal OF improvement
was done by the street commissioner
to be followed Immediately by heavy
storms which put them In even
worse condition than they were pri-
or to the street work. After the
dragging of the past few weeks,
there is a slight semblance of
smoothness, at least. on the side
streets of the town, which were
hitherto almost impossible.
Hats off to the business men who
are public spirited enough, and have
sufficient interest in the affairs of
the town to see that these things
are done.

FROM PICTURE JAUNT

VIM. Loewer wheeled in with
his specially equipped "Jitney" on
Thursday evening from a trip which
has taken him about three thou
sand miles to the southwark, travel
ing over several states, and showing
his famous Buffalo Bill country
pictures to hundreds of thousands
of people in the many cities and
towns he has visited. Owing to the
poor condition of the roads. making
transportation almost impossible, Mr.
Loewer plans to again his
duties at the Toggery until another
year when he may his pic
ture work.
1.-THE pictures went ove fine"
said Mr.. Loewer. People were Gag
err to see them and to know more of
the Buffalo Bill country in Wyo-
ming. Since leaving Cody in Sept
ember Mr.. Loewer has been travel
ing almost continuously in the fall
storms. The roads were next to
impossible, and the enjoyment of
the picture show business made
much less as a result. However he
is glad he went-glader to be back
and wants his friends to e him
face to face at the Toggery.

FATHER AND SON DINE
THURSDAY ANNUAL TIME
Bishop n S. Thomas of Wyoming
Principal Speaker at Father
and Son Meet

The Father and Son banquet OF
Cody was held Thursday evening
in the basement of the Methodist
church, and about two hundred and
thirty-five guests sat down to a
sumptious feed prepared by the
ladies of the NJ. E. Aid. F.. F.
MCGEE presided over the occasion
with talks made by Chas. Taggart,
Harold Killian, and Bishop N. S.
Thomas. A splendid musical pro-
gram was rendered with the glee
clubs of the high school and the
Harrison orchestra cooperating.
The dinner was served at 6:3O,
and the capacity of the spacious
basement was taxed to its limit to
accommodate the huge gathering of
fathers and sons. The tables were
p%rettily decorated by H. A. Phillips
and the arrangement Of the tables
created a very attractive effect. The
address of welcome to the boys was
made by Mr.. MCGEE, followed by Mr..
Taggart who made a splendid talk
to the sons. Mr. .Taggart told
the youths some very solid truths
in an impressive way and was fol-
lowed by Master Harold Kilian.
who spoke a few words of a%pprecia-
ton for the splendid dinner which
had been prepared for them.
Bishop N. S. Thomas Of the
Episcopal churches of Wyoming was
the principal speaker of the evening.
He had made a trip to the northern
part of the state in response to
invitations from Powell and Cody,
attending a similar banquet in Pow
ell on the evening following the
Cody dinner. Bishop Thomas needs
no introduction in Cody as 4 speak
er, and he had a message which
was both interesting and to the
point. He pointed out some homly
truths for the guidance of the youth
assembled to near him. and also
reminded the fathers of a few of
the obligations which they had to
their sons.
instrumental music was furnished
by Harold Harrison and his orches-
ira composed of Maurice Starr and
Joe Bennett, while Mrs. Ross with
a mixed chorus of the high school
glee clubs rendered several fine
numbers.
Altogether, the father and son
meet this e was an unusual
cess. and easily one of the best
to be as yet held in Cody .

POWELL VS.. CODY
AT POWELL THANKSGIVING

The Cody football team goes to
Powell tomorrow. to play it's last
game of the season with the boys
of the Powell town. The game,
due to the keen friendly rivalry
which always exists between teams
of sister towns, will be one in
which there is plenty of interest,
and Powell may be ready to enter
tain Cody football fans, one hun
bred per cent.
Naturally we are going down to
win the game, and that little job
is not likely to be the easiest job
in the world. At the time of the
last game between these two teams,
which took place on Arimistice day,
the Powell team was suffering a
handicap due to the TACT thai sew
reral of its best men were out of the
game. Although still losing sew
eral good players. the team has been
rebuilt so to speak, and the alfalfa
boys will make the Buffalo Bill
warriors play hard for honors.-

HOME INDUSTRY COAL
WINNING HIGH FAVOR
Native Coal Mine Working Full
Shifts to Supply Demand of
Local Trade-Coal Analysts
Show High Quality

w. E. Taylor and j. R. McFate,
proprietors of the Native Coal Mine
when interviewed by the Herald
man last week, state that the To-
cal coal mine is being operated at
full capacity, and the product which
is being taken from the ground
this year, is of a far better quality
than any coal which has been min
ed adjacent to Cody before.
Since the change in the manag-
ment of the mine, more than ESQ
feet of new opening has been made,
and the coal is being secured from
a lower level.
TIL chute is kept continuously
full of well screened coal at all
times, nothing hat will go through
an inch and one-quarter screen is
sold to consumers. Messrs. Taylor
and McFate nave recently receiv-
ed a report from l.. e. Walters,
state chemist. regarding the quality
of their coal, and in his letter to
these gentlemen, he expressed his
profound surprise at the high quail
ty of the product taken from the
native Coai mine, WHICH
favorably with any of the larger
mines in the state.
The analysis shows the ash con-
tent to be 1902 per cent; volatile
42.73 per cent and fixed carbon,
4425; 1t has $500 B. T. U. with
only 10 per cen sulphur. This
analysis may mean very little to the
average coal consumer Int Mr.
Walters, in commenting upon the
report, states that the coal ranks
very high in heat content, and that
the ash per centage is very nomin-
al.

The project which is to be built
at this time, overs about N mile
of heavy rock work. extending from
a point lear the long tunnel beyond
the dam, to intersect with the
project already constructed. The
estimated COST of this work is in
the neighborhood of $4,000, and
will keep a crew of men busy until
the opening of the 1926 toruist
season. The work is of a very
heavy nature. and will place the
road on a higher grade, avoiding

sent quite a hazard in the operation

ROD AND GUN
CLUB OPPOSES PARK
EXTENSION PLAN
In No Mistakeable Manner the Local
Club Disapproves Any Plan to
Reduce States Domain

Declaring that extension of the
Yellowstone park into the Upper
Yellowstone and Thorfare countries
atoms of a great many guides and
hunters in the Cody community,
hat it would take from the trap
pers of Wyoming some of their best
trapping territory and that in many
other ways the extension plan would
prove detrimental to the best inter
ests of the state, the Cody Rod and
Gun club at its regular meeting held
Friday evening, went on record as
thoroughly opposed to the park ex-
tension plan in principle, and in
the discussion of the topic, many
substantial arguments were advanc-
ed as to why the state should not
be subject to such a move.
A general discussion was also had
relative to game boundaries and
game laws, with the result that an
attempt will be made at the next
session of the state legislature to
secure the enactment of an entirely
new game code, which will be fair
to the hunter, and give adequate
protection to wild life. Especially
in respect to the laws requiring
special permits. is there need for
changes.
A resolution for the closing of
portions of the Northfork hunting
country is to be proposed to the
game commission. Namely. mat the
water shed of Grizzley creek, Horse
creek and Sweetwater creek, where
the game is driven in case of early
storms, be closed permanently to
hunters. Also that a strip of coun-
try between Grinnel and Mormon
creeks be placed in a preserve, and
that that territory north and west
of Jones creek on Northfork from
the park line to the Hoodoo game
preserve, be thrown open to hunt
ing.
1t was pointed out that there
were a plenty of elk on Northfork,
and that hunting. would be good
there for years to come if they were
given adequate protection. When
the early storms force a migration
of elk to the lower country, they
become the easy prey for hunters,
in the Horse creek territory, where
under normal conditions there
would be little or no game until
late in the season, and which ter
ritory is natural winter range for
the elk and deer. &c
In closing a strip between Grin
mel and Mormon creeks, the game
will be furnished a strip of country
through which it migrates to the
lower levels, and adjacent to which
there would always be good hunt
ing. In opening the Northfork
above Jones creek a good hunting
section will be available to sports
men, easily compensating them for
the strip of country closed lower
down. There is at the present time
too much summer range closed to
hunting and too much of the winter
range open. Under these circum-
stances. the game, during a sever
fall, suffer badly when forced in on
the winter feed grounds at an early
date.
The club appointed a committee
on resolutions against the park ex-
tension, which resolution will be
printed in full in next weeks issue
of the Herald.

IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE
ORGANIZED In CODY
Club Formed With Seventy-four
Members to Affiliate with Cody
Rod and Gun Club

The Cody Rod and Gun club at
it's regular meeting on Friday eve
ming unanimously voted to affiliate
with the Izaak Walton League of
America, and started off with sew
enty-four paid up charter members.
AS soon as the charter list a be
sent in, and the charter issued, the
sportsmen of Cody will become iden-
titled with one of the strongest
organization of it's kind in existence
which has for its purpose the prac-
tice of true craftsmanship in hunt
ing and fishing, and strenuous n
unremitting opposition to illegal.
destructive and unfair methods in
caring for the wild life of America.
The problems of game progaga-
ton and conservation are many in
Wyoming, and in joining the Izaak
Walton league, the local sportsmen
become affiliated with a club which
has a widespread membership both
in the east Inc west, all working to-
gether for the same end 1t is
thought that the results will be far
reaching in their effect during the
next few years when man. problems
pertaining to the care and protec-
ton of Wyoming's game
must be settled for all time.
B. c. Rumsey and Gov. Geo. T.
Beck, probably more than any 9TH
ers, have been active in bringing
about the organization of the Izaak
Walton league in Cody. and having
given the matter a keen study, ieel
that 1t is n big step in the right
direction. The league, organized
but three years ago, has had a phe-
nominal growth, until today it has
chapters from me end of the coun-
try to the other, and 1t has awaken
ed thousands and thousands of prin-
cipled sportsmen and outdoor lovers
to the realization of the perils that
are threatening our precious woods
and streams and wild life.
The objects of the Izaak Walton
league are better outlined in its
constitution and bylaws as follows:
1. The practice of true sportsman
ship in hunting and fishing, and
strenuous and unremitting opposi-
ton to illegal, destructive and un-
Idli hiCllOdo. ...|- H.H.A
2. An aggressive program calling
for National and State legislation
to eradicate pollution from coastal
and inland waters.
8. The broadcast and most compre-
hensive system of Federal control
feasible over our forests; this sys-
tenn to embrace the best features of
the forestry policies of Europe so
far as applicable to our conditions.
4. Aid in restoration of devastated
areas, and constructive opposition
to such artificial drainage as will in
jure any natural u
5. The establishment by the State
and National governments of ade-
> quate public shooting and fishing
grounds and game refugees.
6. The establishment of sufficient
fish hatcheries and game farms for
the increased propagation and wider
distribution of fish and game.
Z. Prohibition of the sale and in
t~erstate shipment of game and of
fresh water game fishes, excepting
for the purpose of propagation.
8. Scientific regulation of the TAX
ing Of salt water game fishes and
prohibition of the sale of certain
anadromous species.
