county attorney read aloud the fol-
lowing sentence from the statement

BURBANK STILL
SHOWS SIGNS OF
FULL RECOVERY

SANTA ROSA, Calf, March 81
Luther Burbank appeared today 10
have settled down to the business
of getting well, after an illness 80
serious that his physicians and
nurses feared for the outcome. He
ate his first good meal today, and
it appeared to quickly strengthen
him. In addition he appeared to be
more cheerful, and the fretfulness
that had concerned his attendants
in the earlier stages of his illness
had disappeared.
The sick room is still closed to all
the world, however, with the eX-
ception of the doctors, nurses and
Mrs. Burbank. A feature of the
vigil today was the introduction of
large bouquet of flowers from the
Santa Rosa chamber of commerce,
which delighted the distinguished
patient.
DR.. Joseph H. Shaw, the attending
physician, indicated, however that
the serious phase of Burbank's ILL
ness is not yet past as the hazard
of relapse must be faced.

ROY HOLM SHIPPING
ice FROM BILLINGS

Roy Holm unloaded a car load
of ice shipped in from the Billings
ice plant this week, and has made
arrangements for the securing of
his seasons demand from this
source. The ice is a manufactured
product and will commend itself
to the local trade. Mr.. Holm states
that he expects to handle the ice
upon the closest possible margin
of profit and anticipates very little
increase over the price charged in
former years.
Not in fifteen years has the Cody
community enjoyed such moderate
weather as has existed this year.
At no time has there been better
than inches ice on Beck lake,
and few communities were able to
secure ice of more thar eleven or
twelve inches thick. Cutting ice
on Beck lake is always a hazardous
operation, due to the strong winds
from the west which soon cut out
the ice once the lake is opened up.
Mr.. Holm has an announcement
to his ice patrons in this issue of
the Herald.

NEW ICE PLANT TO BE
LOCATED in CODY
Thurston and Williams Installing
Plant for Manufacture of Arti-
ficial Ice-Ready to Deliver
April First

Messrs. Lester Thurston and Clar-
ence Williams, of the Cody Coal
and Transfer company the
installation of an artificial ice plant
which they will operate from their
place of business on Beck avenue.
The equipment was purchased from
Ed Hewitt at M~eeteetse, and includ-
es a sterilizer and complete ice
making plant.
In the manufacture of artificial
ice the water is first brought to
boil, which thoroughly sterilizes it,
and then placed in the containers
where it remains until fully frozen
the operation is said to consume
about twenty-four hours. Mr.. Thur
ston states their plant will have
a capacity of about three tons per
day, and they expect to start manu-
featuring and storing ice at once,
to be able to fill orders during the
summer season.
In the announcement advertising
which is published in this weeks
Herald, Thurston and Williams state
they will sell their product for the
same price which has prevailed in
Cody in past years, and expect to
maintain daily service to all parts
of the town.

IRRIGATION CONTRACT
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION
Difficulty Being Had in Reaching
Agreement With Reclamation
Service by Irrigation
Board

According to a wire which has
been received by the Powell Irri-
cation district from Sen. F. E. War
rem at Washington, there is liable
to be considerable difficulty in ar
irving at a satisfactory contract be-
tween the organizers of the district
and the government and the Senator
advises that a delegation be sent
to Washington to iron matters out
and make efforts at arriving at a
contract. The following wire was
received from Mr.. Warren last week
"Your draft of proposed contract
sent through official channels, did
not reach reclamation bureau until
March list, SO legal officers have
mot had time to pass upon it. Con-
.clusion already reached, however,
that it cannot be approved in pre-
sent form. Commissioner wrote
your district representatives yester-
day suggesting they come to Wash
ington for conference looking to re-
drafting of contract in manner salts
factory to both district and bureau.
My opinion is that such course
would save you much time"

DEBATING TEAMS BREAK
EVEN ON TWO DEBATES

The Powell and Cody high school
teams shared honors yesterday in
the debating contests staged by the
two schools. The question involved
was that of Child Labor" and the
Cody team composed of Alden In
graham and Harold Killian defend
ed the affirmative against a Pow
ell team composed of Scott and
Swanson at Cody, winning by the
unanimous decision of the judges.
At Powell Edgar Hay and Miss
Florence James argued the negative
and lost by a one to two score,
giving the Cody teams a victory
of four points to Powell's two in
the two contests.
Supt. Hardin stated today, that
owing to the fact that the Cody
teams had shown only ordinary abil-
ity throughout the debating season
it hardly seemed possible that they
would be tent to the Laramie high
school meet. He felt that the
members of the debating squad had
secured some worth while expert
ence, and as all the members but
1ngraham were doing their first
year at this work, that another sea-
son they would be better equipped
to attend the state meet.
