Decisions of the Public Utilities
Commission in recent years were
read by Mr.. Ham to sustain his
contention that IL any bus service

Shoshone scenic seventy on a tour
of Yellowstone last week.
Mr.. Biggar hesitated only a mo-

without the formality OF introduce

Mr.. Biggar spent the evening in
Cody town itself. and was a supper
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Marsh,
who are p~erpetuating the genuine
hospitality of Col. Cody, the founder
of the famous dinner hall. In the
atmosphere of western masterpieces

help but feel a restful reaction from
the highly organized present-day

COLONIZATION PLAN o. KID.
BY BIG BUSINESS MEN
Association Congratulated by Bus
mess Men and Bankers Who
Offer Financial Aid

That the Federated Club acted
with a good deal of wisdom when
it adopted the plan which is now
operative for settling the vacant
lands of the Big Horn basin with
farmers is indicated by the hearty
endorsement of the plan and the
letters of congratulations which have
been received by the secretary of
the Big Horn Basin Colonization as
ISOLATION.
Hon. f. j. Sullivan of Casper
states that he believes the right
plan has been adopted and GOngra-
tulates the various communities of
the basin country in their unified
effort in the undertaking. He goes
further than using mere words by
contributing one hundred dollars
to the preliminary expense of organ
ization.
E. C. Beatty of the Union Trust
company, has likewise given the
plan his hearty approval and has
notified the association that it may
call upon the Union Trust company
for financial assistance for the ex-
ptlSt VI uhutltdhiuS tHe oiSdii1d-
ton.
The Federal Land Bank of Omaha
is another large corporation which
has given the plan approval. Mr..
Hogan, president of the bank. has
written the association that the
bank favored the action taken by
the Federated club and was willing
to contribute two hundred dollars
toward getting the organization
under way.
Other corporations owning land
within the basin territory have sig
nified their Willingness to cooperate
with the newly organized associa-
tanning the desired results-farmers
for the vacant lands of the Big Horn
basin.
Through the small amount of pub
licity that has already been given
the movement, letters of every kind
are daily being received by Mr..
Richardson. secretary. The organ
ization is attracting the desired at
tention, and when the listings are
in the hands of the central office,
the text step of making eastern
selling connections will then be
taken up by the association. Every
individual in every community
should put his shoulder to the
wheel and assist in securing the
listing of lands for sale in his COM
munity.

K. P. BAND ATTENDS
MEETEETSE BARBECUE

The Herald in it's last weeks
story of the Meeteetse Barbecue
neglected to mention the part taken
by the Cody X. p. band in this
days celebration. The band was
there, and was given the glad hand
of welcome by our neighbors of the
inland city, and did much to enliven
the days activities.
A member of the barbecue COM
mittee, paying a recent visit to
Cody, stated that although they
would like very much to have been
able to hire the Cody band on Labor
day, but that insufficient funds
would make it impossible to do so.
This statement, repeated to men,
bers of the band, determined them
to go over to the barbecue, and on
Monday, Labor Day, they marched
down the dusty streets of the Grey
bull town playing one of the pop
ular airs.
To say that they were given the
glad hand is putting it mildly.
They were received in a royal man
ner. and made to feel that their
visit would be long remembered
by the good people of M~eeteetse.

in Sunlight Basin

Sheriff Henry Dahlem and H. w.
Darrah motored over to the Gran
dali creek section on Saturday of
last week in search of a pair of
shoes, an axe and some traps
which Mr.. Darrah claims had been
taken from his sawmill on Carter
mountain. They returned the
same evening with at least a Dor
tion of the property, which they
secured from a cabin occupied by
two young men of that section.
The snow shoes were valuable
equipment and were readily recog-
nized by Darrah as his property,
as was the axe which he had lost.
The traps he was unable to identify.
but was given several for those
claimed. When Sheriff Dahlem
found the property he was looking
for. the young man in whose poses
sion it was found claimed it belonged
to another party. and there seemed
to be considerable trouble to fix the
guilt upon the proper person. How

scented to pay the expenses of the
sheriff n Darrah into Sunlight if
no arrest was made, and on this
basis they were permitted their
freedom. They placed their guns as

GoUernm't Men Would
Inspect Dairy Cattle

Drs. C. e. Wilmot and l.. s.
Smith. federal inc state veterinar-
ians, are spending a few weeks in
Park county inspecting dairy cows
for tubercular trouble. They met
with the county commissioners last
week and asked for financial aid
to make a thorough inspection OF
all the dairy stock in the entire
county.
The Wyoming state law requires
that all dairy COWS from which dairy
products are sold must be tested
The testing is lone without charge
and the assessed valuation is paid
as indemnity when reactors are
found.
The county decided not to cooper
ate in this work to the extent of
about $500, which was being asked
for to defray operating expenses in
Park county.

TO CONTINUE
COUNTY AGENT WORK

to most of the ranchers and farm
ers of Park county that the work
of the county agent and the home
demonstration agent is to be con
tinued in Park county, at least
another ear f. p. Lane, chief of
extension work, of Laramie. was in
Cody last week, and took the matter
up with the members of the county
board, and secured their consent
to keep the work going another
year.
With the resignation of R. j..
Allen, who has so efficiently looked
after the county interests for several
years, and the county board in a
mood to practice economy in this
line of work, it looked for a while
as if Park county was going to take
a step backward in agricultural de-
|velopment.

ground is to be an issue in the Cody

and work out the problem without
engendering a feeling which will
lower the high efficiency of the
clubs activities.
