In the merging of the two local
newspapers, it is but a step in the
line of progress, and one which is
being taken in many towns much
larger than Cody. The newspaper
business is fast being divorced from
politics and fractional differences in
wide-awake communities and con-
solidating of newspapers in small
towns is fast becoming an eco
nomic necessity to both the pub
fishers and the business men who
with their advertising and COM
mercial printing, support them. The
local papers nave covered practical
ly the same field, have made nee
cessary a duplication of equipment
and force of workmen, and have
been almost a double expense to
the merchants who wished to be
represented in the advertising col
of each paper.
The Cody Enterprise, under the
new management, will make it's for
NAL bow to the public next week,
the issue of June 18th. Mr.. Hunt
ington, who has been interested in
the management of the Enterprise,
will join the present force of the
Herald in issuing it's new paper.
Mr.. Abrahamson's plans are very
indefinite, but he will probably get
out of the printing office for some
time.

riding night and day rounding up
the widest and crookiest broncs in
the northern part of the state, and
a horse hat won't buck will not be

J.. N. Langworthy is wearing a

he looked over those Texas steers.
He is to be in charge of the cattle
corral another year and his part
of the program will come off in
apple pie order.
Monte Jones of the TIE is to wear
the megaphone again and will an
nounce the races and buckers. He
is to be supported by Henry Sayles,
who is to get away from the wool

The gas is to be secured from
the Ohio well in Oregon basin
which was drilled last summer, and
which, due to trouble with water
conditions was unavoidable last fall.
This spring about four hundred
sacks of cement have been placed
in the well, and when drilled thru
places the gas well under control,
and cases off the water which was
the retarding factor heretofore.
With Mr.. Hetzler in Cody at
this time is J. w. Walker, engineer
of the company. who is making the
surveys for the gas line, and for
the distribution system within the
town. The plan is to have the ma
terial on the ground within from
thirty to forty-five days, and the
work will be pushed from that
time. A crew of men will immed-
lately set to work with the local
gas mains while the laying of the
feeder from Oregon basin will start
at the same time.
This will certainly be gratifying
news to the people of Cody, who
have waited patiently for many
years, in the hope that gas would
be secured within a reasonable dis
lance of the town, in quantities
sufficient to justify the piping OF
it here. But two towns within
the Basin have not the convenience
of gas, Cody and Worland, and
it seems that Worland is to alone
have this distinction after this sea-
son. With the piping of gas to
Cody the Rocky Mountain Gas COM
pany, which operates in Billings.
as well as many of the towns OF
the Big Horn basin, will have al
most a complete net work of gas
mains, connecting the various gas
Fields of this part of the Basin, and
will have at its command an al
most inexhaustible supply of natur-
al gas.
Gas was first discovered at Ore
gon basin more than fifteen years
ago by the Enalpac Oil company,
a French syndicate operating there.
This company. however, due to con-
ditions brought on by the World
war, has done very little to develop
the field. and it remained for h
Ohio to develop a gas well, and I'M
dertake to supply the town of Cody
with gas.
In dealing with the Rocky Noun
tain Gas company, gas consumers
in Cody will be t~ransacting business
with a corporation which has estab-
lished a reputation for fairness and
broad business policies. The men
who represent this company are of
the type who always take their
full share of the burden of a COM
munity, are always willing to CO.
operate for the advancement of
those things which tend to build
up and develop, a community

Saturday of this week, June 18th

a ticket for the Republican party

day.
A spirit of harmony prevailed

terest in things political manifest
than for many years in county poll
tics. A number of men signiffed
their willingness to attend the meet
ing and the eight votes of Park
county will be represented by as
many delegates. Although unit
rule was not endorsed at the con-

will prevail with the Park county
delegation when the time comes for
selection of candidates.

Under a Washington date line. sew
eral million American citizens
throughout the country will read, in
their Sunday morning papers today,
something about the activities on cleo
ton day of their fellow -but-voteless-
citizens who live in Washington.
Such a description is carried in an
Associated Press dispatch which was
sent out from the Washington bu-
reau last night, and which follows IN
full:
with most of it's high political
personages departed or departing to
do their bit for the G. O. p. amid the
tumult and the shouting of election
day, voteless Washington has re-
signed itself to it's customary biennial
role of vitally interested but polltl-
cally impotent spectator.
"On that one November day. every
two years, the National Capital,
despite it's half-million or so of popu-
lation, ceases to be the national center
of anything. The real business Of
Government virtually comes to stand
still. Nobody knows and nobody cares
what Washington-the voteless mass
of it that sticks on the job-thinks
about the issues of the campaign or
the rival iSSuerS.
Nobody Else Cares.
"At least, nobody but Washington
cares, and even Washington doesn't
know what the majority of it thinks.
1t has no means Of finding out. But
If its five dailies, with combined cir
culations that make tidy figure, cor
rectly gauge the views of their read
ers. Washington thinks q lot about it's
votelessness. It's host of Government
publications, headed by the venerable
and amazingly verbose Congressional
Record, and it's wealth of special-pur-
pose prints don't deal with the ques-
tion. They leave it to the dailies,
which devote columns to it, in season
and out.
Yet this political impotency of the
mass of WashingtonianS/ has not
dimmed their interest in politics. Far
from it. Washington probably Is the
most political minded and politically
interested city in the Union. In a
way, it is nationally minded in poll
tics, since it has no local politics of
it's own to circumscribe and provin.
cialize its outlook.
Interested in States.
Actually it is like a political cross
section of the country. There IS not
a Federal election district in which
some big or little group in Washing
ton, quite aside from party hench
men and political writer's, is not vital
ly personally interested in the outcome
at the polls. Virtually every member OF
the Senate and House brings with him
from back home secretaries or clerks
There are hundreds, thousands

the Government too, wo believe, de-
spite civil service, efficiency ratings
and the like, that their promotion,
even retention of their jobs, depends
directly or indirectly upon the success
of a particular Federal or even State
candidate in some remote corner or
the country.
Party chiefs and the political writ
ers may look lightly upon individual
returns in casting up the congress
sional ballots next Tuesday night.
After all, each is but a unit in the
total that will determine party con-
troll, and in neither Senate nor House
has that question ever turned on a
single vote.
but when newspaper telephones
ring their endless clamoring for news
here, after sundown Tuesday night,
the questions asked more often than
not will reflect interest in more per-
sonal matters than party success or
failure. They will mean that the i'm

toner is at stake.

"An odd sidelight on the telephone
queries of election night in Wash
ington is that one never knows, on
taking off the receiver to answer, how
important a unit in Washington polit-
ical life may be at the other end of
the wire. 1t may be a Senator or
Congressman asking for the verdict
of his constituents in his own case.
1t may even be a politically marooned
cabinet officer with more gen.
eral but no less intense interest in the
results. Or 1t may be a shaky-voiced
