SHIPPING BOARD
 TERMS ANNOUNCED
Vessels Will Be Sold Only to
 American Citizens

Washington. Sept. 30 P,-Moves of the shipping world and the gov ernment agencies associated with shipping during the next few months will do much to reveal the future of the American Merchant Marine.
 Two forces are converging to aid in solving the problem and to test particularly the possibility of re- turning the merchant fleet to private ownership.
 In an effort to attract American capital, the shipping board has thrown the United States lines and the American Merchant lines on the market, with the requirement that all bids be here at noon, Novembe &. The merchant Marine planning committee, a group within the board, has before it the task of holding country wide hearings to ob- tain recommendations for a mer- chant marine policy. The senate, at the suggestion of Chairman Jones of the senate commerce committee, has requested this information by January 1, next year.
 Many Ships Sold
 Tn it's campaign to place the vari- GUS lines under private operation, the board has in the last year dis posed of about $50 vessels. These included the sales of the Pan America Line passenger and mall service between New York and South America to the Munson Steamship inc; the San Francisco to the Orient service and that between Puget Sound and the Orient to the Dollar interests.
 The government Is also Gisposing of it's service between United States and South American ports, save the freight services between the Gulf and the Atlantic coast to the east Of that continent. The board has lust decided to advertise these, hop ing to withdraw entirely from the South American trade.
 With the United States lines and the American Merchant lines sold the SulDpllS DONl u VIII 44A+-A -o0 divested Of all of it's crack serv- ices but with about a dozen i'm portant freight services reaching the major ports of the world, operated through agents.
 Tickets Far Ahead
 The United States lines form branch of the Emergency Flee' Corporation and are operated di' rectly by the government. As ar evidence of the permanence IT which the lines have become par of the North Atlantic trade, the board points to the sale of tickets as far as two years ahead. Thi: service, which includes the linel Leviathan, operates an express pas scnger and freight service iron New York to Europe.
 The American Merchant lines carrying freight and passengers be tween American Atlantic and north ern European ports, are now oper atod through an agent, J. H. Win chester x Company, Inc, of NeV York city.

REDSKINS DEFEAT
ALBUQUERQUE IN
POOR BALL GAME
By CHARLES ERICKSON

Although the "big parade" stag
ed by the local Indian baseball
team, the shop band and fans of
the great American pastime, with
general foreman of the shops, Jim
Kiely heading the procession, was
a spectacular sight, to say nothing
of being a noisy one, which COM
manded the attention of all enroute
from the roundhouse to the city
baseball park, the diamond contest
turned out to be one Of the worst
played contests of the season.
In fact the game broke up in the
first half of the ninth inning on ac-
count of the players being overly
inclined to argue rather than play
and the umpire also blowing up and
wanting to 'clean up on the whole
outfit single-handed
To make a long, long, yes, very
long story short, the contest was
just one error after another. Just
36 bobbles in all, 19 for the Red
skins and II donated by the visi-
tors. The Winslowites hammered
Hernandez for Is singles, 8 two-bag-
gers and George Slow, who had g
terrible day for fumbles, cleaned
the bases twice via a home run and
neat triple. An even dozen hits
were all the Albuquerque boys got
off Mariana, who held them hitless
for four innings.
Despite the loose, careless field
ing of both aggregations, the game
held the interest of the fans on
edge as first one team would forge
ahead and then the other. It was
"anybodys" game right up until the
last bitter argument
There were volumes of words to
every pitched ball throughout the
entire contest, and rather than a
ball game it smacked of detailed
re-enaction of the little quarrel that
ruined the purpose of the journey

WHAT'S ITS NAME?
NEW PAVILION OPENS
WITH HUGE DANCE

Cody's new dance pavilion, locat-
ed under the Cody Drug company
was formally opened on Tuesday
evening with a dance given by the
management. Due to adverse con
ditions and impossible roads, the
dance was not attended by out-of-
town people as it would have been
otherwise, but as it was from three
to four hundred pleasure seekers
covered the floor and danced until
a late hour.
The new hall was beautifully
decorated in colors black and white.
The orchestra stand in the center
of the room was tastily arranged
and the appearance of the new
pavilion is such to appeal to those
who will frequent the dances.
The management is seeking a new
name for it's new pavilion, and to
this end tickets were given on Tues
day evening, for each person who
attended to suggest a fitting name.
A cash prize of s25 is to be awarded
to the person suggesting the name
which is to be used. The announ-
cement of the pa%vilion's new name
will be made on Saturday evening,
when another dance is to be given.

to give the baccalaureate sermon at
the Methodist church on Sunday
evening. to which everyone is cor

sermon, and who gave way to the
visiting clergyman, will preside at
the service.
Bishop Thomas will have a mes
sage for the graduating class, and

A WORD FROM THE
ALIENS OF OREGON

The Herald this week received
a friendly line from Mr.. int Mrs.
Royal j.. Allen, the former being
the county agent here for several
years. They now reside at Cove,
Oregon, in the Grande Ronde Valley
where Mr.. Allen owns a splendid
fruit farm. MI. Allen writes I'VE
are always glad when Saturdays
mail brings the Cody papers. That
country seems more like home than
this, eve though 1 grew VI here.
Hope to return some day, il for
nothing else than to show George
Bratton a little more about hooking
and landing a real fish. He and
Ora Sonners and a few more of the
boys who can't fish much, may get
pretty fish hungry this summer.
Prospects for a fruit crop es-
pecially cherries, are fine up to this
time. 1 have two hundred young
cherry trees set this spring. They
are looking fine and we are just
getting a fine rain that is much
needed. Winter wheat is heading
out and alfalfa is knee high, so you
see our season is well advanced,
perhaps three weeks ahead of the
average year.
Please give any Cody and Park
county friends, who may be coming
through this section of Oregon my
address with a request to stop a
day in the Grande Ronde valley.

TAGGART COMPANY
MOVING BIG SHOVEL

The Taggart Construction COM
pany is moving its huge steam SHOW
ell this week from Shoshone canyon
where it has been parked since the
completion of the road contract
there last spring. The shovel weigh
ing $4,000 pounds, it was necessary
for it to ford the river rather than
cross the new bridge in the canyon.
and the water was shut down at
the dam for a few hours to make
this easier. Again at Sulphur creek
the shovel cut its way across the
creek, using the approaches of the
old road for the crossing. Mr.. Tag
CART will use his machine for some
of the heavy work on the Cody
Corbett road project.

tent in the Senate, in a name
which is said to have strength

these changes it was necessary that
it be returned to a committee of

Cody's 1926 election was a very
indifferent affair, more than
two hundred votes less being cast
on Tuesday, than were polled two
years ago. There was a decided in
difference on the part of the tax
payers, and with the rainy weather
and unfavorable conditions under
foot many people did not visit the
polls.
There were no decided issues pre-
sented. A general satisfaction SEEM
ed prevalent regarding the present
administration, and the vote given
the Trueblood ticket is suggestive
of confidence and approval of the
manned in which the towns business
has been administrated during the
past foul years. Mayor Trueblood
ran considerable ahead of his ticket
followed by Dallas Tinkcom who
was given a strong vote, with the
close election c%entering on the new
candidate, w. S. Owens, who takes
the vacancy created by the expira-
ton of the term of H. w. Thurston.

METZ HERE MAY GOTH

Judge Metz announces that he
will be in Cody about May goth
at which time the court docket will
be set for the May court term.
There is a probability that Judge
Metz will call a probate docket for
some time this summer, inasmuch
as there are many estates which
over a period of years have never
been settled. Park county has never
had a probate docket since the or
g%anization of the county.
