GOVERNORS PARTY To
Be IN CODY JULY 31ST

Word was received in Cody last
week by Mrs. A. B. Chamberlin, sec
rotary of the Cody Club. that the
governors party, which will make a
tour of Yellowstone park late in July,
will come through Cody. In an effort
to secure this party for Cody, Mrs.
Chamberlin had written to the gen.
eral passenger agent of the Burling-
ton as well as to the governor of Wy
oming and the governor of Maine,
who has charge of the itinerary.
The letter to the Club which Mrs.
Chamberlin received from the pas
senger agent of the Burlington fol-
lows:
"Dear Madame:

Journal that it is the plan to make up
a fleet of cars here and show the
party some of our surrounding conn

was made to the club some weeks
ago when the matter first came be-
fore the club, and will probably be
carried out.

MOTOR CLUB GAINS
MEMBERSHIP HERE

The membership of the Wyoming
Motor Club in this vicinity is rapidly
gaining, according to Margaret Hay
den, who is one of the strongest
workers for the club in Cody. Some
are coming in any paying their two
dollars for a years membership with
out being solicited. With the aid OF
Miss Margaret Murray of the Forest
office, who is devoting her own time
IN assisting in getting memberships,
Miss Hayden reports that there is a
gratifying number of the brass plates
appearing on the ears of the Cody
community.
In the drive it was discovered that
Russell Crane was a charter member
of the club, having sent in his mem
bership when it was first organized
in the state.
The Wyoming Motor club is an or
ganization which is able to do a great
deal of benefit for the members and
also to the state and the visiting mo-
florists. Following are some of the
high lights in the club as picked by
Margaret Hayden:
What a State Motor Club can Do
Furnish high grade insurance to
members at a great saving.
Daily telephone reports on road and
weather conditions west, east, north,
south, every morning.
Place road signs on highways.
Membership card may serve as
bail, ~arresting officer releasing you
for violation of traffic and speed laws.
You appear when summoned.
Pay reward for arrest and convic-
ton of persons throwing glass on the
streets, in order to minimize pune
lures.
Clubs assist in the arrest and con-
viction of auto thief stealing a mem
bers car, by telephoning car descrip-
ton to chiefs of police when car is
stolen.
Secure prompt action from city and
county officials on road repair com
plants. Individual effort fails when
the club succeeds.
wyoming Motor club looks for
ward to reciprocal privileges in 600
other clubs over the country.
TOWN service free to members.
There's Strength in Numbers
Were surprised you haven't had
a motor club before"

GOP-LOK TRIAL NOW
BEING HEARD WORLAND

The famousS30,000 libel suit which
Ernest j. Goppert of this city filed
against Caroline Lockhart, one time
editor of the Cody Enterprise, is now
being heard at Worland.
At the time of going to press moth
ing was learned as to the trend of the
trial except that the plaintiff had fin
ished his testimony and the witnesses
for the defense were being heard.
Cody people who were called as wit
nesses on the case include ]. H. Vo-
gel, w. A. Kepford. H. F. Bell. C. A.

The case is attracting an unusual
amount of attention and is getting
publicity in the dailies.

CODY TO HAVE BEST
ACCOMMODATIONS

Last Sunday the first step in the
Improvement of the camp ground at
the east end of town was taken when
a plot of ground measuring seventeen
acres was laid out and the planting
of trees and grass was commenced.
This first unit, which is 725 feet
square and lies at the southeast cor
ner of the forty acres which the Cody
Club has purchased, is laid out in the
form of four triangles which have
their points, at the center of the plot.
The registering office is at the en-
trance and the cooking building and
the other accommodations are stu
ated in the center of an open plot
measuring 125 feet square, which in
turn is in the center of the main plot
so that all campers have easy access
to the accommodations. The indivi-
dual plots for each car are 80 feet
square and have a tree at each cor
ner with a small ditch separating it
from the adjoining lot. In this way
each camper can have his own camp
ground with some measure of privacy,
which has been lacking heretofore.
The vacant corners which are left
out due to the triangle arrangement
are to be planted to flowers. The re-
mainder of the square will be i'm
proved and grass planted and when
the ground that is in use becomes too
trampled and dusty the campers will
be switched to this half and the grass
let to grow on the other half.
Accommodations for 212 cars will
be available at the beginning of the
season and at any time in the future
If need for more room is felt another
unit of the same size a be added
until the entire forty acres is in use
as it will undoubtedly will be at some
future day. The largest number of
campers in town last year during the
Stampede was 100 cars.
What may be accomplished by CO.
operation was demonstrated on Sun
day when IL men and three trucks
made the trip around the lake and
dug up 265 trees at the mouth of Lo-
gan creek on the Northfork and brot
them to town. The trees were set
out, except for about fifty, and were
watered before the day was over.
Quite a record. Fifty-fve more trees
were planted the first of the week
making a total of 800.
Some ground at the west end of
town has been purchased by a group
of individuals and another camp
ground will be established there.
About two acres is in this plot and
with water and sewer connections al
ready made, and the full grown trees
on the ground but little work will be
necessary TO make this an attractive
camp ground also. 1t seems that the
opposite from last year, with its poor
location and crowded condition. has
now been reached, with two attractive
and desirable locations for the motor
lists to pick from.

COOKE ROAD

Word was received from Washing
ton last week that the bill before con-
gress asking for an appropriation to
build a road from Red Lodge, Mont,
to Cooke City, through the Beartooth
mountains, has been defeated and sent
back to the committee on reccommen-
dations.
This project is very costly and
would benefit but a few. as it would
be only a summer road.

DARRAH GETS FEDERAL
FRANCHISE FROST CAVE

Hud Darrah of Carter mountain
came in from his saw mill the first
the week and made public that after
several months of effort and red tape
he had been able to secure a federal
franchise from the secretary of the
interior in which he is granted the
sole right to guide visitors through
the caverns of Frost cave on Cedar
mountain.
Frost Cave, so called because of
its discovery by the local guide and
hunter, Ned Frost, is situated on the
north side of Cedar mountain only
a short distance from the new road
through the canyon. AS a natural
phenomenon it is one of the most in
teresting pieces of work that Mother
Nature has ever turned out. The
mouth of the cave is reached by a
stiff climb of a little over a quarter
of a mile, the last end of which is so
steep and hazardous that the use of
ladders is necessary to make it easily
reached.
The interior of the cave is a COM
bnation of practically all the common
rock formations which are responsible
for the forming of a cave. The
mouth of the cave is windworn and
the entrance for some forty or fifty
yards appears to be caused by natur-
al erosion. When the first main room
is reached, however, the formation is
entirely different and the opening is
In the nature of a huge fissure of pro-
portions so great that it is impossible
to see the ceiling with the ordinary
light carried in by hand. Proceeding
farther into the heart of the mountain
rooms are discovered which are
plainly the result of water erosion
and all the beautiful formations of
crystals from the mineral deposits
are found upon the walls and ceilings.
1t is generally believed that the cave
has never been entirely explored due
to the heighth of the rooms which
make it difficult to tell what is far
ther up in the fissure mentioned in
the main room. Also at one end of
this room a small passage leads thru
the rocks in such a narrow place that
a man cannot pass, yet there is a
strong current of air, showing that
there is further connection with other
openings and probably the outside.
The air is pure and fresh in the cave
at all times.
Mr.. Darrah does not expect to do
much this year with his franchise as
the approval of the secretary of the
interior must be had on all plans be-
fore and after they are carried out.
BY another season, he states, he ex-
poets to have n well improved trail
to the cave. new stairs will be in
stalled, and if possible lights will be
installed from the federal line in the
canyon. Saddle horses will also be
available when Mr.. Darrah has COM
pleted his plans.
The Frost Cave was set aside as n
government monument in 1909, under
an act know rs the Antiquities act.

Homade Ice Cream Co.

A new industry is being established

The alert, modest little woman of
high motives, but without much ex-
perience to guide her faltering steps,
may wish to learn just how to make
better cake or biscuits. Perhaps she
does not know that the foreign infiu-
ence has a great bearing on the art
of the table setting and on etiquette,
or how etiquette originated. This is
all a part of the art of Mrs. Cross.
Or there may be some one who
wishes to learn of a clean and handy
way to keep flour so as not to powder
ones nose from a barrel as did the
women of olden times when they first
discovered that way of improving
their compleXion.s
Many interesting subjects will be
discussed by Mrs. Cross. Among
these subjects not the least interest
