Albright Lauds Cody
Road and Entrance

While making a short visit in Cody
last week Superintendent Horace M.
Albright of Yellowstone park made
a trip of inspection over the road in
Shoshone canyon in company with
Forest Supervisor j. N. Langworthy.
Mr.. Langworthy states that MI. AL
bright was enthused over the new road
to such an extent that he made the
statement that it was the biggest i'm
privement in the Cody road to yell
lowstone park that had yet been made.
Not only from a safety point of view
but as being much o scenic than
the old road, the section in particular
which is Just west of the tunnel at
the dam and is being constructed OF a
higher grade above the reclamation
buildings, provides a new and better
view of the dam and spillway than
can not be appreciated without view
ing it. Mr.. Albright went on to say
that the Cody entrance was much the
best and ~cleanest o the park
and was in fact THE entrance. In
his estimation no one has seen the
park unless they have been in or out
the Cody entrance.
The road work which is now going
forward in the canyon comprises the
second section Of road to be construct
ed in that locality entirely with money
from the forest service department.
The first part was constructed last
year from Rattlesnake creek to a
point about one-half mile west of the
reclamation building, where the can
yon proper starts. That which is at
present under construction will join
with this and Will reach to the east
end Of the tunnel ut the dam. This
tunnel will be is feet in the clear with
a concrete curb and will be sixteen
feet high when completed. Only one
of the tunnels west of the buildings
will remain, and it will he heightened
and widened in a similar way. The
parking space at the east end of the
tunnel at the dam will be materially
enlarged and widened.
The road through the canyon will
be opened about June 1st. although
the amount of work called for in the
contract will not be completed at that
time.

Guilty and
is Out on Parole

Undersheriff j. II. Hancock made a
trip to Basin on Wednesday of last
week where he took over Dick Hen
derson from the authorities at that
place and returned to Cody with him.
Upon being questioned before Coun-
ty Attorney McElvain, Henderson con-
fessed to the theft of five of the ov-
ercoats which We're missed ut the
Trappers Ball, stating that the rest
which were missing, amounting to
eight in number, were taken by a
friend Of his who dared him TO steal
the ones which he had taken. Before,
the lad had stoutly declared his in
nocence, but evidently had a change
of heart when brought before the au-
liberties here.
IN view of his youthfulness and
good record previous TO this episode,
Attorney HcElvain allowed Hender-
son to return to his home and school
after warning him that he was on his
good behavior and would have charges
es filed against him upon n second
offcnse Of the law.

Clever New Idea
for Local Dance

The handbills are out advertising
a dance to be given tomorrow night at
the Irma Cafe which promises to fur
nish the dancing patrons of Cody with
something new and highly entertain
ing in the form of a prize dance. A
ten cent admission will be charged
and as you enter you will receive a
number. Then at the end of each
dance a duplicate number will be
drawn from a hat. In this way no
one will receive two prizes. but the
holder of the lucky number at the end
of each dance will receive one of the
highly useful prizes.
These prizes consist of a great var
iety OF things in the dry goods and
grocery line. and are sure to furnish
the winner with a great deal of fun
at the winning as well as being useful
later. The grand prize will be a sack
of flower and will be the last prize
awarded.
Harrison's Cowboy orchestra, which
is rapidly gaining n reputation Of be-
ing the best orchestra in the Big Horn
basin, will furnish the music.

OIL WELL ACTIVITIES
STARTING LOCAL field

IN. Guiterman, wealthy oil opera
tor of Texas and New York. was in
Casper Thursday making arrange
ments for material to be shipped to
Cody for use in completing a well on
the Shoshone anticline. The well has
been standing for several months at
400 feet. where was considerable
showing of oil."-Inland Oil Index.
Mr.. Guiterman arrived in Cody Fri
day and states that drilling will be
discontinued on the well mentioned
above, which has turned out to be a
crooked hole. However, there is a
showing of oil in this we'll which will
be pumped and used as fuel.
Mr.. Guiterman is now getting the
material on the ground, and upon the
arrival of T. w. Elder, his superin-
tendent, who is now in Texas, work
will be started on a new well near the
old hole on the same lease. The drill
ling operations will be under the di-
rection of j. v. Meabon of Salt Creek,
Wyoming, who has taken a cantract
for the work.
Mr. Guiterman is president of the
Cody Oil and Gas company.

FRED COE POST AIDS
WORLD WAR VETERAN

When Hammond c. Warner of the
W. X. Everingham crew in the al
yon was taken suddenly and seriously
i'll from adhesions caused by a former
operation and was in need of reach
ing a hospital at once. the local post
of the American Legion took the mat
ter up by telephone at once, and start
ed Mr.. Warner to the Fitzsimomns
hospital the next day after he was
taken i'll and possibly weeks ahead of
the time that he could have had his
papers sent from Omaha, Nebr., his
former home. and on to Washington
for approval. Incidents such as this
bring home the Importance of such
an organization as the Legion which
has the power to cut through red tape
when a mans life is at stake. Fred

ALBRIGHT GIVES talk
TO LOCAL DEMOLAY

Horace M. Albright. superintendent
of Yellowstone park, during his visit
in Cody last week attended the an
nual banquet for the DeMolay given
by the Mason on Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Albright as the honor guest at
the banquet gave a very fine talk to
the young men of this order in which
he expressed his surprise and pleas
ure at the beautiful work put on by
the DeMolay boys.
He spoke of the lawlessness in the
nation at the present time and stated
that in the past the criminal average
age was well up in he thirty's, while
10 it is in the twenty's. He went
on to say that these young criminals
were the hardened and experienced
ones and not just the reform school
class. Boys who have grown up in the
Boy Scouts do not develop into GRIM
inals and the same will certainly be
true of the boys who are in such a
fine order as the DeMolay.
He further stated that as Masonry
is founded on the Christian religion
and the work in this order will help
the young men and will help the
young men to overcome the idea that
is becoming prevalent in this age,
that religion is not fundamental, and
will help the boy to combat the idea
of the scientists who are trying to dis
credit religion. He assured his audi
ence that nothing could take the place
of true Christian religion.
Mr.. Albright suggested at the end
of his talk that that other visiting
Masons also be called upon to give
talks. Mr.. Osborne. Mr.. Bowman and
Mr.. Wilson, who were among the Wis
iting delegation from M~eeteetse, then
gave short talks in which they praised
the boys for their fine work in the
order and encouraged them with the
portrayal of the benefits that they will
surely derive from the order.

DR.. and Mrs. Louis Howe. in Cody.
At 1880 Mrs. Henry Pool played
the Bridal Chorus" and the bride ap-
peared in a light blue and pink georg-
cite dress trimmed with lace. silver
slippers and stockings, with a band of
blue tulle around her hair, carrying
a bridal bouquet of white baby breath
and pink carnations, assisted by her
sister, Miss Gertrude Howe, in pink
taffeta. George w. Pfrangle, broth
er-in-law of the bride. acted as best
man. The brides father gave her

CONTRACT Let FOR
new ROAD PROJECT

On Wednesday of last week the
state highway commission let the con-
tract to C. w. Taggart for the en-
tire amount of grading on Federal
Aid Project No. 103A. which is the
first part of the No. 103 project which
reaches from Cody to Garland. Sec
ton A., which is the section to be
completed at once is at this end of
State Route No. SO. from Cody to
Frannie, and comprises the road from
the town of Cody to approximately
one thousand feet north of the old
Corbett station. The contract for
the construction of the steel bridge
across Sage creek was let to Fred
Smith of Thermopolis, at a figure of
approximately $4,000.
Both contracts call for the work
to start on the first of May and give
the grading contract 200 working
days in which to complete their work,
and the bridge work 100 days. The
specifications of the state highways
call for a road with a right of way
approximately eighty feet wide, with
a road bed of hard surface about "a
feet.
A road of this type will be of unes-
timable value to this section and will
eliminate one of the poorest and most
travelled roads in the country. The
Corbett hill on the south side of the
bridge, which has always been one
that has caused motorists and heavy
haulers alike a good deal of trouble,
and which now has a grade running
as high as 16 per cent, will have a
maximum grade of Z per cent when
the new road is completed. The Cody
Powell road is one that is travelled or
would be travelled the entire year if
it were in condition. The close bus
mess and personal connection between
the two towns will be much facilitated
by this improvement. Also the farm
ers along this road and especially
those on the Lower Sage creek will
receive a great deal of benefit from
this new road as it will undoubtedly
make profitable the raising of beets
in the future. Transportation has
been the largest drawback to this in
dustxy in the past and now this will
be largely eliminated. Either by the
establishment of a dump on the south
side of the river and a connecting link
of transportation by separate contract
or the Individual hauling of the rails
ers, the sugar beet industry which has
done so much to help the rest of the
Big Horn basin, will surely again be
established in this section.
The moneys for this project which
amounts to about $4,000 for the
grading contract and 5000 for the
bridges, making a total of $4,000, is
largely put up by the federal govern
ment. The state furnishes about one
dollar to the federal governments
two. The money which the state puts
into these projects is derived from the
federal oil royalties and comprises 81
per cent of these royalties, the other
81 per cent going into the school fund
This work will be under the super
vision of District Engineer r. L. Sill
Yer and Resident Engineer C. E. Hay
den- With the new road at this end
of the canyon as an example of the
work turned out by these engineers
and contractors, it is with great ON
1idence that the people of Park coun-
ty are looking forward to the compile
ton of this road.

WYOMING PUBLICITY CONGRESS

Rohwitz, who spoke in no uncertain
tones of the necessity for mobiliza-
ton Of state publicity setting forth
the scenic beauties and climate of this
region.
w. II. Wallace, secretary of the
Sheridan Commercial club, supported
by two of Wyoming's foremost young
editors, C. w. Barton and w. S.
Sopris, of the Sheridan Enterprise,
spoke with the authority of long and
keen observation on what was gen
orally conceded to be the States out
standing feature - touristry. He
stressed the point that Wyoming
should itself first be sold on the value
of the tourist crop" before the
imum of effectiveness can be attained
beyond.
The State University and Laramie
took their rightful part, not only in
the leadership of l.. E. Bowman of
the extension service who headed the
Ways and Means committee of Nine,
but also by Stanley Edwards of Lar
annie, who spoke with ardent vision
of youth in its own home state on
development of Tourist Business"
No small success for the meeting
is due to Chas. B. Stafford. Casper's
paid and trained chamber of commerce
secretary, who in addition to his other
enormous activities is solving the
problem of financing state and NUM-
cipal publicity.
1t was gratifying to representatives
present that there was no effort o.
saddle further expenses upon club
budgets, but proposals for a n
tenth mill levy to raise state funds
for publicity purposes, met with IA
vorable comment-probably to be adj
m~inistered through Mr.. Faville, who
has already a limited sum for such
uses.
The value in the east of "ten-gal-
Ion" hat publicity was questioned by
two or three speakers, particularly
in connection with the Cheyenne
Frontier Days. and as on offset or a
complimentary, it was suggested that
the state fair board should follow this
big Wyoming feature.
As no state program is ever possible
without the aid of the local newspa-
per, which c. A. Cairns. the Chicago
and Northwestern railway represent
alive said was the most powerful of
all advertising, the press of Wyoming
was enlisted to cooperate with service
clubs and other organizations by
means of special editions during the
week beginning June 3, with items
designated for the purpose of "set-
ting forth the recreational, agricul-
tural and industrial advantages of
their individual communities and the
state of Wyoming in general"

AMERICAN FOREST week
TO Be APRIL IA TO "a

In view of the recent praise from
Superintendent Albright of Yellow
stone park. in which he characterized
the Cody entrance as the only n
trance to Yellowstone park, the cit
liens of Cody should take it upon
themselves to start work on the an
nual cleanup week so that such high
praise may not go undeserved.
For the past several years the town
worked in conjunction with the For
est Protection week, o called, Am
erfcan Forest Week, in putting on
their campaign for cleaning up and
identifying the town during the same
week. Let US then keep up the work
of making this a clean town so that
not only Superintendent Albright, but
every tourist who passes through
here this coming seaso and all sea-
sons to follow, will go on with the
idea that this is the only entrance to
the park.
Following is the Presidents procla-
nation which is in itself a work Of art
and is one Of the first proclamations
to come to our notice which actually
carries a message. Read it:
A PROCLAMATION
In again proclaiming American For
est Week it is fitting that, while Civ
ing full weight to the evils resulting
from impoverished forests and idle
land. / should lay stress upon the out
ward spread of forestry in industrial
practice and land usage. Too long
have we as n nation consumed our
forest wealth without adequate pro-
vision for its wise utilization and re-
newal. But n gratifying change is
taking place in the attitude of our in
dustries, u landowners. and the
American people toward our forests.
The wise use of land is one of the
main foundations of sound national
economy. IL is the corner stone of
national thrift. The waste or misuse
of natural cuts away the
groundwork on which national pros
perity is built. II we are to flourish,

must neither wastefully hoard nor
wastefully exploit, but skillfully en-
