a damage suit brought by a party
by the name of Sims of Burlington,
was ruled against in the District
Court at Basin last week, and n
judgment was awarded Sims to
the amount of $4,000.

stopped in the road. At the time
Webster's a struck the Sims car,
the owner was in the act of crank

After starting home, the lights on
the Webster car went bad, and at
the time of the accident he was
driving with only his parking lights
burning. The evidence in favor of
Webster was not clearly brought
out it is said. inasmuch as Mrs.
Sims is said to have testified that
she warned her husband of a a

OHIO MAKING PLANS
FOR FURTHER ACTIVITY
In OREGON BASIN

o. r. Hetzler, of Billings. official
of the Ohio Oil company, spent
several days in Cody last week,
and states hat the Ohio is con-
templating considerable work in the
Oregon Basin oil field this season,
and the work is to be got under
way at once. Mr.. Hetzler believes
that his company will be able to
control the gas flow in Oregon
basin, and in ven the water is
cased off, it will be piped into
Cody.
Last fall when weather conditions
became bad in Oregon basin, OPP
erations were suspended there. The
gas well which was brought in
last year is still flowing consider
able water, and all previous efforts
to case it off have proved futile.
The company has spent over a hun
dred thousand dollars in efforts to
drill a deep test well in Oregon
basin, and expect to continue its
activity there this season, with hop
es of proving a rich oil field in
one of the lower sands.

5000 BOTTLES BEER
DUMPED INTO RIVER
Morrison Beer Mingles with Sho-
shone Water When Official De-
struction was Made Tuesday

The greatest destruction of Illicit
liquor ever made in Park county
was witnessed on Tuesday after
noon when County attorney Nc
Elvain and Sheriff Dahlem, under
court orders, destroyed the three
thousand bottles of beer which
were taken about a year ago from
the old Yeager building, and which
were claimed to have been the
property of Jack Morrison, who was
residing at hat place at the time.
The beer was hauled to the river
bank below the mill, the bottles
broken on the rocks, and permit
ted to roll down into the Shoshone
river.
AS the bottles were thrown onto
the rock, and break, an odor far
from appetizing arose from the
mass of broken glass, and 1t would
be hard to imagine a person drink
ing the stuff which had been stored
for more than a year in the bottles.
Those who had been appointed by
Judge Metz to witness the destruc-
ton included H. A. Phillips. Rev.
C. E. Pitts, E. S. Hopes, A. c.
Newton, Vic. Abrahamson and E.

AT SAGE CREEK
New Officers Elected and Report
Made of Years Activities-As-
ISOLATION Handles over $780,
900 of Products

The Big Horn Marketing associa-
ton held it's annual meeting at
Sage creek on Tuesday and the en-
tire day was consumed in going
over the affairs of the association
and hearing several fine addresses
by men who have given the market
ing problem most consideration.
The delegates began arriving by
ten o'clock and in the forenoon
talks were made by j. H. Mont
gomery of Henderson, NJ. D. Harris
of Lowell and F. A. Snyder of Low
ell on cooperative marketing. These
talks were very instructive and in
teresting.
At the luncheon hour more than
one hundred were present and
partook of the bounteous feed serv-
ed by the ladies of Sage creek
community.
During the afternoon the bust
ness session and election of Of
ficers was held. The election re-
suited in the choice of the present
officers to succeed themselves, and
at a board meeting held later in
the day E. E. Newton of Cody was
named president; Leo Wertz of
Garland, vice president; Henry Wag-
ner of Emblem, secretary and o.
R. Irwin of Basin, manager and
treasurer. F. A. Snyder of Lowell
is the fifth member of the official
board.
The annual report showed that
the association has handled more
than three hundred thousand dol
Mars worth of the farmers produce
this year, marketing it on a price
above prices usually secured, and
with very little expense to the pro-
Queer. Large shipments of poultry
of all kinds, beans, etc, now go
out of the Basin to the best mar
kets which a be secured, and the
quality of the Basin products is
such that they are in constant de-
mand.
Owing a severe illness, O.. R.
Irwin was unable to attend the
meeting, but had his annual report
in such shape that it was read and
received by the board of directors.
The accredited delegates present

Paris E. Wells is a revivalist with
a message to all. He is not a min
lister; not a t%heologian, nor is he
connected with any particular sect
or church. Mr.. Wells is simply
a worker in the cause of Christian
ity. He is working to save souls;
he is endeavoring to awaken the
best in people. to make them better
citizens and to arouse them to the
better needs of the communities
in which they live.
Mr.. Wells made his first talk
to a Cody audience at the Pres
byterian church Wednesday even

tendance was not so great. On
Sunday morning he talked to a

ROY ARCHER TO
OPEN NEW GARAGE
Blocks South of Irma-Wm do
General Auto Repairing

That Cody is to be well supplied
with garage and service stations
is again evidenced by the entry
into the business of Roy Archer,
who has selected as his location
the Taylor building at Second st.
and Alger avenue, at one time used
for the Ford Service station, and
later by Ellis Taylor as paint shop.
Mr.. Archer has installed a complete
equipment for giving a general gar
age service and announces his open
ing as March Goth. The new firm
will be known as the Archer Motor
company.
Mr.. Archer states that he will
probably become agent and distribu-
tor for a couple of well known
makes of cars, like the Hupmobile
and the Star and Durant, and will
feature the Multivestas break lin
ings, as well as many other popu-
lar services for the motorist. He
needs no Introduction to the people
of Cody as he has resided here
at various times for the past five
years, being at n time a driver
for the Park Transportation com
pany in Yellowstone. He is the son

POWELL PLANNING
SEWERAGE SYSTEM

Engineer Howard F. Bell spent
several days in Powell last week
going yer with the members of
the council there plans for a sewer
system for that city. The plans as
are figured now, call for a trunk
line running west and east through
the town, emptying in what is
known as dry lake to the east of
Powell. Owing to drainage advan-
tages of the proposed line, it is
thought construction assistance may
be secured from the Reclamation
service.
Engineer Bell completed a very
satisfactory sewerage system in Cody
last year. and after having studied
the Powell situation for some time,
thinks he has outlined the most
practical project there. Owing to
the high water level on the Powell
flat a sewer system is almost an
indispensable project.

DANCES AND POOL
HALLS MUST CLOSE
SATURDAY NIGHTS
County Officials Take Steps to Put
stop to Saturday Night Dances
Pool Halls Will Also Close
at Twelve

County Attorney J. E. McElvain
and Sheriff Henry Dahlem have
issued an order this week that all
dances and pool halls are to close
promptly at twelve O'Clock Satur-
day nights. The notice states that
violation of these orders will meet
with strenuous prosecution.
h Saturday night dances have
been a problem for the county Of
ficers for many months, and they
have decided that only drastic ac-
ton will remedy the present con-
dition. Dances are operated at
Ralston n at Powell. which run
well into the morning hours of
Sunday, and in instances are said
to be ~disgraceful affairs. The
county officers do not expect
to tolerate the practise further, and
will make arrests whenever and
wherever they find dances in oper-
alton on Sundays.
The practice of keeping the pool
halls open after twelve is one which
the proprietors themselves do not
urge. They frankly state that there
is little business to be had after
midnight, and the expense of keep
ing open is seldom offset by the
money taken in. There will be little
objection to this Saturday night
closing order of pool halls.

CODY INITIATES ITS
NEW GOLF COURSE
Volunteer Workers Make Greens
Sunday-Many Enthusiasts Dri-
wing Ball Over New Course

Cody's golf course has become
a reality, and with a crew of vol
unteer workmen hauling gravel and
dirt on Sunday, the nine greens
have been placed in fairly good
condition, so much so, that a few
of the most enthusiastic golfers
have been making the best of the
new course during leisure hours
this week. At a meeting last week
of the members of the club Geo.
T. Beck was made president, and
the work is going foreward under
his direction.
On Sunday morning a crew took
out a heavy roller, and through
the generosity of Southgate Free
man, had both his services and
the use of one of his large trucks,
Dirt was hauled to each of the
nine green's. placing them in just
passable condition. More dirt and
gravel is to be needed before the
ourse can be considered anywise
good, and the green will probably
have to bee oilde to hold the light
soil from the winds.
Those interested are determined
to make the course a good one
and those wha are interested in
the game should offer their services
for some of the preliminary work
A heavy grader has been used tc
clear the ground of rocks and wild
growth, and nine full greens have
been made. starting from a poinI
near Newton lake, making a circle
to the west and south, and coming
back to the ninth hole near the
lake once more.

Tom Long. one of the old timers,
and prominent business men of the
Powell community succumbed to an
attack of influenza on Tuesday eve

a few days. Few of his friends
even knew of his Illness, as he was
up and about, and on Thursday Of

funeral of his old friend, John
Bowling.
In the passing of Tom Long the

DEAL TO BE MADE
PURCHASE CAMP SITE

According to a letter received
last week from the Lincoln Land
company, all obstacles have been re-
moved from the purchase of the
new camp ground and 1t is likely
hat the deal will be consumated
this week. Hitherto a suit in
court involving the title to this
land has been a retarding issue
in the securing of the new auto
park, but the Lincoln Land COM
pany now offers to convey land
to the Cody club with a guarantee
of clear title.

with good wholesome arguments
which do not fall on deaf ears.
With the service is special music
by a choir of the best talent in
Cody.
AS a guest of the Cody club at
the luncheon Monday, Mr.. Wells
made n of the finest five-minute
talks delivered in Cody in many
a day. His talk was to business
men, and he told them of respon-
sibilities in the community in such
a way that they could not fail to
realize the truth of his statements
nor fail to grasp many of their
shortcomings.
Mr.. Wells has a message to each
person of the Cody community
which he is delivering nightly.
Everyone should hear him, and
when they do, they will go again.
Nothing has gripped the community
in a long time as has the Wells

of such saving mounts to enormous hg-

But that is not all. As the market place
of the community the newspaper not only
saves the time of the buying public, but,
paradoxical as it may seem it makes it
possible for the merchant TO lower the sell
ing price of his goods and at the same time
increase his own profits. As was demon
strated during the newspaper strike in
New York, when the newspaper market
place fails, the volume of buying rapidly
decreases. But the merchant 5 expenses for
overhead, such as rent, interest, salaries
and other fixed charges continues whether
the volume of sales is large or small. In the
latter event, what is known as the turn
over" is slowed up, which means that the
merchants stock of goods is sold more
slowly. The inevitable result is either loss
of profits for the merchant or increased
prices for the customer.
Who, then, pays for the advertisings In
a sense, nobody, for advertising pays for
itself. It should not be measured in terms
of costs, but in terms of time saved and of
new wealth created through increased
production. In this its magic consists
