BILLY DUNCAN DIES
HOSPITAL In BILLINGS

Word was received today from
Billings of the death of VIM. Dun
can at that place yesterday morn
ing. He vas taken TO Billings
Sunday suffering with what was
thought to be a serious attack of
appendicitis, and when operated up
on Monday the case had so far de-
veloped that his life could not be
saved. His father was called and
plans for interment at Livingston
Montana, his old home, are being
made.
Billy Duncan was one of the old
timers of the Cody community, COM
here about twenty years Ago., and
for many years working in
Yellowstone Park where he piloted
one of the buses about the loop.
He was a splendid fellow of steady
and industrious habits, and made
friends wherever he went. During
the last year he has been employed
at the Valley ranch at Valley, and
was taken to Billings Sunday in
n of the Valley cars.

the association from sale; thai they
were not to take any steps nor
spend any of the associations
money on the proposed reservoir,
and they are bound to protect and
represent the land owners interest
in every way.
Later in the evening, at 1880
O'Clock a meeting was called to or
der by F. N. Pearson, and they
proceeded to transact business as
the official officers of the district.
r. L. Praetor was nominated as
a candidate for the commissioner
job in District No. 2, and was de-
feated for the position by C. w.
Stearns, by a vote of 42,756 to
2S,704. This ended the reign of
the old board who were forced to
%relinquish to the newly elected Of
%ficers, and although it is not like
ly, there may be legal steps taken
to regain control of the association.
The farmers and ranchers are
not altogether opposed to a reser-
voir on the upper Greybull to furn-
ish them an additional supply of
water in dry years, but the size
and cost of the proposed project is
deemed p~rohibitive, and would al
most amount to confiscation of the
lands owned by the Greybull ranch
ers.
An irrigation district was formed
in the face of much opposition and
some of the larger interests were
determined to put the enterprise
through regardless of the wishes
of the majority. The meeting at
Burlington Tuesday was the Gull
mination of many months of or
ganized efforts to defeat the plans
of the commissioners who were
prepetuating themselves in power
by a well-organized minority of the
land owners of the district. Ernest
j. Goppert represented the ranch
ers Of the Emblem bench commun-
ity and Paul R. Greever is counsel
for the land owners living on the
upper Greybull in Park county.

SCHOOL CHILDREN OF
POWELL RECEIVE
REGULAR TRAINING

Professionals and Catholics of the
Powell school district have united
In a religious educational move
ment that seems to meet with the
approval of the citizens.
The parents of the children of
the lower grades petitioned the
school board to release their child
rem from the public school for one
hour on Tuesdays that they might
study the Bible in a graded course
presented by the Protestant min
listers and the Catholic Priest, with
helpers. Nine teachers are IN
ployed. Two hundred children are
released, which represents 80 per
cent of all the children in those
grades.
The children go to the churches,
according to their grades, without
any UNCONVENTIONAL splitting. except
that all Catholic children attend the
Catholic church. Powell is the
first town in the state of Wyoming
to conduct such a week day church
school that follows the same plan
and text books used in Kansas City,
Kan, where 10000 grade school
children are released for Bible
study.

ENFORCEMENT
HEAD WORRIED
ABOUT RUSTLERS

According to a news item appear
ing, in the Wyoming Tribune of
recent date, State Commissioner of
Law Enforcement, Dan Hudson is
considerably worried because the
funds Of his office are running
low, and 1t looks as though he
and his stenographer would be
about the only two officials of this
department to be kept on otter
December LIST. Mr.. Hudson states
that the cattle ~rustlers are busy
at various places over the state
and he thinks they are going to be
some problem for the county sheriff
alone.
Editors Comment-Since when
did the law enforcement depart
ment of the state of Wyoming ever
turn a hand to do anything but
trifle with the prohibition law.
We are not censuring the state Of
ficer for his anxiety regarding the
hardships of the county sheriffs,
but never to our knowledge have
we known one of the state en-
forcement officials to turn a hand
to make "booze" raids an
travel about the state in high
powered cars furnished by the tax
payers.

WESTERN UNION MAY
HAVE NEW OFFICE

At the present time it looks as
though the Cody Western Union
telegraph office would soon be
moved to the corner office rooms
in the Wall building. Workmen
have been engaged to put the old
Kozy Korner quarters in first class
shape and the local of
the Western Union has been asked
by his company for advice as to
whether the corne rooms could be
converted into modern and v
lent telegraph station.
This property is owned by Judge
w. l.. Walls of Cheyenne and it is
very evident hat he has been using
some craftsmanship in interesting
the Western Union in a better To-
cation in Cody and with the work
men already advised as to how to
proceed it is a good bet that the
move will be made in the near
future. The room now in use as
a telegraph is very apparently too
small and inadequate for the
amount of business transacted dur
Ing the summer season, and with
the two rooms which would be
available at the corner location. it
is very likely that the Western
Union sign will soon be hung up
on Cody's m ain stem.

ity Emerson to Insist
Upon Efficient Service

Rumors as to Wyoming state
political appointments will be ru-
mors and nothing more until De-
cember, at least, Governor-elect,
Frank C. Emerson has announced.
While the capitol building is
buzzing with forecasts and prog
nostications as to whom Mr.. Elmer
son will name to this or that office.
the future governor and present
state engineer is receiving numer-
GUS applicants in person, outlining
to them what qualifications each
will have to meet before he can
be considered and receiving their
petitions for further consideration.
He will make no decisions in this
regard until next month, he said.
Three things an applicant must
possess before he will be consider
ed,Mr. Emerson said. These are
integrity, capability and loyalty to
the incoming governor and his par
ty. He is laying the foundation
for an efficient and harmonious
administration, he said.
Some % Democratic office hold
ers and assistants in the capitol
building are casting about tenta-
lively for new office quarters, with
the knowledge that in all likelihood
a majority of them, at least, Will
need them shortly.

MISS LEA GANGUET
RETURNS FROM FRANCE

Miss Lea Ganguet arrived in
Cody Monday evening after an alb
sence of almost two years, which
she has spent in France with her
mother and sisters. She says she
is real pleased to be back in Ameri-
ca and thinks that her mother and
sisters will eventually return to
to the United States to make their
home.

home at their old family estate,
Villa Mexico, at Gap, Hautes,
Alps, and Miss Ganguet has been
doing some school work there.
Her plans for the future are very
indefinite. She is the house guest
of Mrs. Chas. DeMaris at the
Springs, and says she may go tc
school some more this winter
France, the native home of hei
parents, has not the appeal for her
that America has, and she seems
well satisfied to be back to stay.
She landed in New York, Novem-
Der ard, on the LaFrance.

BUFFALO BILL MUSEUM
PROMINENTLY MENTIONED
Arousing Interest Everywhere and
Many Offer Relics and Sow
enirs for Places in New
Building

The Buffalo Bill Museum is be-
ing heard Of far and near. Through
the well directed publicity given it
and on account of the fame Of Col.
W. F. Cody which seems to increase
instead of diminish as the years
go by. Newspapers all over the
country are printing accounts of
the museum that is being built
here through the efforts of the
local association. The Cody Family
are deeply interested in the project,
and very much pleased at the en-
thusiasm with which the people of
Cody have started work on the
building. A few days ago the
president of the local association
received the following telegram
from n of the most prominent
members of the Cody family.
Chicago, Illinois.
November 4, 1926
To Mrs. Agnes B. Chamberlin,
president, and Mrs. Raymond Allen,
secretary of the Buffalo Bill Mus
cum Association:
Chicago members of the Cody
family extend their hearty con-
gratulations On the splendid pro-
gress which you association is
making in launching and financing
the plans for a Buffalo Bill Me-
mortal museum, in which the citi-
zens of Cody and the members of
the Cody family are so deeply inter
ested. From the reports received
from Mrs. Allen we feel very con-
fident that the hopes and plans
shared by all of us will be fully
realized.

Mrs. Chamberlin has also receiv-
ed a letter from T. A. Smith, of
Beaver Falls, Penn, former equip
ment custodian of the Buffalo Bill
Pawnee Bill shows, in which he
offers to give the association the
carriage in which Colonel Cody
used to drive the pair of milk-white
ponies in the show. Also the brass
bed that fitted into his private car
and in which he slept on his tour
of the world. He also offers to
give the museum association M
of the milk-white horses which
still survives, If they ear find
to give it good care and
put it away tenderly when its
earthly life is over. All these
things to be put on the train free
of charge. With letters like this
coming in, there is no doubt about
the museum being finished and
plenty of exhibits in place by the
time the Park opens mex spring.

MILLION DOLLARS TO
BE SPENT ON SYLVAN
Park Road From Cody to Para
Loop Road to be Most Won-
derful in World-Three
Great Spiral Bridges

According to Horace M. Albright
the Park Service is now
to spend in the neighborhood of
one million dollars on the road
from Sylvan Station to the Fish
ing Bridge within the park during
the next few years. The road from
the eastern entrance over Sylvan
VIII be built on the highest bureau
OF Public Road standards. and will
include three great spiral bridges
as it goes over Sylvan pass.
Some 10000 is being spent this
year between the Fishing bridge
and Turbid lake. This work Is Of
high order. The new road will fol-
low in most part the old locations
with a few re-locations which will
be made to add to it's scenic beauty.
The grade is being raised at Teton
point. and again between the eleven
and twelve mile posts, east of AXE
Junction. At Lake Butte 1t is
planned to throw the road on the
southern side of the Butte which
will give the finest panorama of
Lake Yellowstone that can be found
anywhere.
The reconnaissance OF the road
from Sylvan pass to the EAST en-
trance is being made this year. for
construction in 1928. 1t is es-
timated that this stretch of road
will cost approximately $4,000
when completed and will be a most
wonderful drive. The road will be
spectacular throughout, and the spi-
raj bridges will lend many thrills.
and at the same time permit a
grade which may be negotiated in
high gear by the average automo-
bile.
A new and artistic structure is
to take the place of Fishing Bridge,
at the junction of the Cody road
and the Loop. This project is be-
ing surveyed at this time and will
probably be a 1927 or '2S project.
Forest Roads
The work on the west end of
the Shoshone Canyon road, which
is being done with forestry funds,
under contract by the Everingham
Construction company, is rapidly
nearing completion. The fall sea-
son has been ideal and the work
has progressed with a speed which
could not be expected under or
binary conditions. When finished
this will make the road through
%Shoshone canyon one of the most
scenic as well as one of the safest
automobile routes to be found any
where.
Supervisor j. N. Langworthy of
the Shoshone forest states hat he
is hopeful of securing an addition
al appropriation of Forest funds for
use in 1927 or 1928, at which time
a new project connecting with the
one now being completed and ex-
tending to a point beyond the
N~orthfork bridge. In this new pro-
ject a relocation of the Northfork
bridge slightly up the river will be
made which will do away with the
abrupt turns as the road turns to.
cross the river. Two more pro-
jects such as is now being COM
pleted will give the eastern en-
trance a most wonderful route to
the boundary of the Shoshone for
est. from which point the roads are
maintained by special funds derived
from both the Forest and the Park
service.
