DAME RUMOR WRONG
--G0PPERT DECLARES
STRONG FOR METZ

Every one knows hat Dame
Rumor, who may be a well mean
ing person and all that, is very
likely to get things rather mixed
III sometimes, and is generally Civ
en- credit for being wrong more
times than she is right. At least
that is the case in regard to Ernest
J.. Goppert's aspirations for a job on
the district bench.
A recent issue of the Cody Enter
prise printed the following article:
at is reported that E. j. Goppert
aspires to the judicial bench and
will oppose Judge Metz at the next
election" Dame rumor is likely
the only person who eve under
stood this state of affairs and Mr..
Goppert has asked the Herald to
state his case very plainly. THAT
he has no aspirations for a job on
the judicial bench, and that he is
an admirer of Judge P. W, Metz and
will support him for reelection
should he become a candidate"

STAMPEDE BALL

The directors of the Cody
Stampede association, at n
meeting held recently, have
set December 18th as the date
for the annual Stampede ball,
which during the past few
years has become quite an af-
fair of prominence. The Irma

casion and "Pat' Harrison and
his Incompatible orchestra
will furnish the music.
Its high time that all the
wild boys and sou doughs
wash ont their greasy shirts,
press the kneckerchiefs and
taller up their boots for the
occasion, for the 1925 ball
is going to be just as wild
and rip snortin' affair as ever
was pulled off in Buffalo Bills
town.

LEASES SULPHUR LAND

Walter B. Davis, formerly con-
nected with the sulphur mine op-
erations west of Cody. and now a
resident of Denver, representing a
group of wealthy capitalists of that
city, spent the first part of the
week in Cody, during which time
he attempted to secure leases on
considerable acreages west of the
city. with the view of starting an
experimental farm with which to ad-
vertise and demonstrate the use of
sulphur as a fertilizer.
The company which Mr.. Davis
represents controls the big sulphur
deposits neal the canyon, and hope
to be able to commercial the low
grade sulphur ore for fertilizer pur-
poses. Should the plans which
they are working on go through.
a huge plant will be established
here, and Cody will be the chip
ping point for tons and tons of
this product.

CODY CORBETT ROAD
LOCATED--WORK MAY
START EARLY In 1926

According to Engineer r. L. Sill
ver's report on the r~ight-of-way of
the Corbett-Cody road, there are
but two cases existing at the pres
ent time which will have to be
fought out in court before work
can proceed on this much-needed
stretch of highway. They are the
claims of Mrs. Edith Holm, wife of
Gus Holm, and Louis Ebert both
owners of land east of Cody.
1t has been a long and arduous
Job for the officials of the highway
department to work out a feasible
and practical route for this first
link of the Cody-Powell road. Due
to the small acreages owned east
of town, there were more than
fifty property owner to be salts
fled before a r~ight-of-way could
be secured, and many changes were
made necessary due to the objec-
lions raised by some of the land
wner
However, a line for the new road
has now been secured which will
take the road along the bench by
the I. N. CcGuffey ranch, across a
portion of C. E. Hempstones land,
through a field belonging to l.,
Ebert. and down through the Pear
son Bros. property to the Corbett
hill. The first survey was through
the BEEN ranch, where objections
were encountered. However, the
P%earson's being progressive farmers
and knowing the value of good
roads. came forward and gave a
right-of-way through their big
ranch with the result that the
grade of the new road will be prac-
tically as good as the one first pro
posed, and will be located with
the greatest of harmony between the
land owners and the highway de-
partment.
The appeals of Holm and
Ebert will probably be held at the
next jury term in Park county

Those interested are very conf
dent that little difficulty will be
had in securing a fine type of
farmers for the vacant Big Horn
farms. especially following one
of the most successful crop
seasons ever enjoyed in this part
of Wyoming. Most all of the de-
tail organization work has been
completed and the time has ar

ing movement in the Basins his

CODY 2

The Cody-Valley game played on
the Cody field Saturday afternoon
was a lively exhibition and the
Cody high was put to the test sew
eral times to protect it's goal, al
though at no time during the play
was the outcome of the game in
doubt. On two costly fumbles Val
ley scored a ~touchback in the first
quarter of the game. giving them
their two points, while Cody car
ried the pigskin over the Valley
goal for three touchdowns, kicking
for the odd point on the last touch
down.
When it is considered what little
opportunity the Valley team has
had to play this season. owing to
the heavy now at Valley, and
hat the Cody game was their first
this season, the dude" team put
on a very fine exhibition of foot
ball. Their plays. although a trifle
slow were well executed, and they
displayed a thorough knowledge of
the game they were playing.
Spectacular runs by George KEEL
ly and Edgar Wilson were the high
lights of the Cody team play, al
though consistent football was dis
played by the entire team. Earl
Cogswell was severely injured in
the first play of the game and was
replaced by Harold K%illian, who
although a new man on the team,
promises to be one of its strongest
players. The Valley team has some
fast men. notably among them be-
ing Paul Brown, son of Mrs. Eoa
Brown, who proved himself a fast
nan and a yardage getter on sew
eral occasions.

usually successful one this year.
For the services at the Temple.
the stage had been very beautifully
and artistically decorated by Mr.

Greever presided and the principle
address vas made by Ernest j. Cop
pert, who took as his subject the
American Legion, its organization.
and what it has meant and accom-
plished for the United States war
veterans. Mr.. Goppert's talk was to
the point and very interesting. Spe-
cial music was arranged by Mrs.
R. B. Hardin and was of a high
order.

in the evening, was attended by
the largest crowd which has as
sembeld in Cody for some time.

rison's orchestra was voted the
best ever. The refreshment COM
mittee served hard tack and beans
and coffee at twelve. Rations were
served in regular army style, and

a dash and determination in the
first quarter the Cody team went
down the field for a touchdown
on line drives, overwhelming the
Powell team with a class of play
which could not be stopped. After
the first touchdown the game was
a greuling combat during which
neither team seemed to have a
decided advantage until the later
part of the fourth quarter, when
a blocked punt and tumble cost
Powell the ball close to their own
goal. and the Cowboys rallied their
strength for the second touchdown
of the game.
