NOTICE TO ALL
DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS

This is to notify you that all delin-
quent taxes must be paid without fur
Their delay. So far | have been very
lenient with you, but the State. and the
county are demanding collection of
all delinquent taxes.
Changes in the assessments cannot
be made by the Treasurer. If any as
sessment is incorrect the matter
should be taken up with the County
Commissioners.
A great many persons complain be-
cause their property is advertised for
delinquent taxes and say they are put
to great deal of expense and humili-
alton on account of same. Remember
if your property is advertised for de-
linquent taxes it is your fault and not
the fault of the Treasurer. Pay up
your taxes in full on or before the
first day of January of each calendar
year and your name will never appear
on the delinquent list.
want to be of the greatest service
to you and help you all | can, but
can not help you much unless you try
to help yourselves by being prompt in
the payment of your taxes and giving
me all the information you can.
Never allow more than one years
taxes to be upon you at time; if you
have been in the habit of allowing
your taxes to double up, be sure to get
rid of that habit at once, as it is not
fair to me nor best for yourself and
cannot be permitted longer.
If you find anything wrong come in
and see me and talk the matter over
before complaining or mentioning it
to others.
Yours very sincerely,

Garrett County, Md.

a gutter they had forgotten his past.
He could battle for ideas as we'll as
for acres. There was another sum-
mons, likely more imperious than the
last, this time to that place of memo
ries; Sheckem of Abraham, of Isaac,
of Jacob, of their own covenanting
upon their entry into their land of
promise. He was giving his best
thinking to this matter certainly and
shameS many of us today.
CALLING IN THE RESERVES.
In the streets of Paris there was a
bowling mob. A figure walked along
the sidewalk to be lifted into place
of prominence as one of the leaders
shouted: Sixty years of pure life is
about to address you" There was
utter silence dominated by character
alone. 1t was the same here. Joshua
flung all his slender life into the
struggle and brought the question of
loyalty to Jehovah into the Immediate
thinking Of his people. Modestly he
recounted their history, giving all
credit for every success to God in
stead of to the actors in the events.
There is never an 81 did it" in the
whole recital. 1t is quite easy to see
that he is no 100 per cent American,
for we do like to blow our own horns.
There follows the clear challenge of
any halfway business. "Quit fool
ing yourselves and be one thing or
the other! But as for me and my
house we are for jehovah" 1t was
great plea, finely made and finely
reinforced.
DAMMING THE STREAM.
Of course they were simply swept
off their feet and voiceferously de-
clared their determination. But Josh
ia knew how much of it was wind so
he proceeded to puncture their inten-
ton to go in the same old fashion of
mixed religions by declaring they
were simply lodging and could not
follow Jehovah that way. There was
less noise this time but more purpose
so Joshua put it all in writing and
they subscribed to the provisions of
the new record. Then he set up a
pillar and they solemnly swore to ac-
cept it as a witness of their doings
that day. SO the final battle of this
great leader was closed. He was
to dam the stream of
their desire by every method his
shrewdness could suggest so that the
passion of their religious zeal might
be directed into the service of the
God of the Hebrews only. And the
story adds the statement that it
worked all thru the days of these
men who were partners in the pledge.
It is one of the finest of tributes to
7he work of Joshua that exists. He
vas able to SO carry them over into
lis thinking that they kept their vow
Turing their years of headship. Jeri-
Tho has nothing on Schechem when it
zones to victories.

FIRE FISHAWK
CAUSED BY LIGHTNING
Haydenl

mo man-caused fires in 1926"
is Supervisor Langworthy's protec-
ton slogan. There had been no
fires of any consequence on the
S%hoshone until 6 A. NJ. July 27,
when the Holm Lodge horse wrang-
Ter reported a fire on Fishawk on
the North Fork to j. w. Howell,
key-man on that district, who noti-
fled Ranger Spencer. The "get-
away-time" for the Ranger and
Guard Harp, who daily patrols the
North Fork, was ten minutes. and
the fire was left as safe at 1890
p. m. A lightning spark had ig-
nited in needles and duff and burn
ed over about 1000 square feet.
The Shoshone has the lowest pro-
lection rate of all the &c forests
of the Rocky mountain district,
.00S3 cents per acre. With neigh
boring fires raging it is fortunate,
that the Shoshone slogan has been
maintained.
The Shoshone has no lookout"
houses, and has had none of the
"lady lookout" publicity, tho the
calls that come in when a smoke
nimbus from other fires hangs over
the Forest Ire often the voice of
the rangers wife or other feminine
voices of the Shoshone million and
a half acres.
With all key-men, dudes and
wranglers and stockmen on their
toes, it is hoped to realize that
prevention is better than suppress
sion.

STATE LECISLA-
TURE WILL COST WYO-
MING OVER $88,0O0
Travel and Salary Expenses of State
Legislators will Reach 500, 900

The estimated cost of the next
session of the Wyoming legislature
has been placed at $SS,425 by state
Auditor Vincent Carter in onnec-
ton with a statement on the finan-
ces of the state.
OF this sS8,425, there will be
an estimated expenditure of &c.,
900 for salary and travelling ex-
penses of the members of the legis-
lature. The sum of $13,500 will
be spent for printing and stationery
it is estimated, while the balance,
nearly $4,000 will go toward de-
fraying salaries of employees and
other expenses.
A balance of s1,133,S39.21 re-
mains u~nexpended from the total
appropriations of the last assembly.
The total amount appropriated was
s~2,47s.223.
On June 80, the report from the
auditors office said there was an
~overdraft on the general fund of
the state of ~$S23,11S.4O.
While the estimate for the year
leaves an unexpended balance of
$1,133,S39.41 as of June 80, the
report shows and there remain but
nine months (to March 81, 1920
before the end of the biennial per-
and the estimate is based upon
the 2-year time.

LONG YEARLINGS BRING
$42.6O CHICAGO MARKET

Long y~earlings, averaging in wgt.
about 900 pounds, brought an av-
erage of s42.60 on the Chicago
stock market last week, according
to Dan Burns. superintendent of
the Sheridan ranch, near Sheridan,
who went east with a load of stock.
Most of the consignment consist
ed of calves fed at the Sheridan
Heights ranch last winter, and were
long yearlings at the time of the
shipment.
These cattle were turned on the
range near Arvada in May and were
in prime condition when gathered
for the cars taking on much weight
in the two months on luxuriant
range grasses.
1.-THE weather was terrific with
heat on the trip, and the cattle
shrank a%ppreciably." Mr.. Burns
said.
"a better price would undoubt-
eddy have been received had it not
been for the intense heat. At one
of the feeding stations the cattle
we're actually limp, their ears lop-
ping their tongues protruding and
showing every evidence from the
intense heat. 1t would not have
been surprising if some of the fat
cattle had been entirely overcome
by the heat" Mr.. Burns added.
The yearlings went directly to
the block and made fine baby beef
for Chicago markets. They brought
about seven cents a pound. while
the cows shipped at the same time
sold for $500 to 500 per hundred
there were 246 head in the ship
ment.

CODY PLAY WRIGHT
DIES AT Los ANGELES

One OF the most interesting and
outstanding characters of the early
days of Cody passed into final rest
at his home in Los Angeles, Cali
fornia at 500 A. M. Sunday July
25th. This was Mr.. Edgar A. Mar
tin one of the most successful
ers connected with the motion pic
ture industry.
Mr.. Martin came to Cody in 1902
When the town was one of the real
last out-posts of the fast vanish
ing western frontier. At that time
Cody was one hundred and thirty
miles off the main line Of the rail-
road. The branch line train-a
freight with a passenger coach
hooked on the zeal enc came into
town from Toluca, Montana, every
other day. Our population was
limited in numbers and travelling
shows were fewer than hairs on a
Mexican kyoodle. They were afraid
Cody couldn't turn out enough to
pay the railroad fare.
\The old timers will recall how
Mr.. Martin clarified this situation
by rounding up the local amateur
thespians and several times a year
staging some of the great Ameri-
can plays in a name hat would
have put to rout the average aggre-
cation of professional troupers.
Many of these local entertainers
have preceded Mr.. Martin over the
Great Divide. Others are scattered
to the far of the country.
A few are still familiar faces among
us.
Mr.. Martin was a professional
stage director and actor and he was
a mighty good one. He had been
associated in a professional capacity
with some of the great stage stars
of a generation ago before his adj
vent into Cody where he came to
regain his health.
His stay among us covered a per-
Sd of several years and he went
from here to his greatest achieve
ment of creating and directing
p~hotoplays in Los Angeles during
the infancy of this great industry.
Mr.. Martin remained at this work
Ut to the ii me of his last illness
and enjoyed the reputation of max
ing a larger film footage of picture
successes without a failure than
any other director in the industry.
His greatest work was the writing
and directing of pictures in which
wild animals played important parts
Among these were the two greatest
animal serial stories W. created,
1.-THE Lost City" and Miracles of
the Jungle" Mr.. Martin had writ
ten scores of photoplays and di-
rected hundreds of them and his
passing will be keenly felt by the
picture industry and the real old
timers who remember and enjoyed
Ed Martins home talent shows.
Mr.. Martin leaves a wife and
two little children. with him also
was his mother Mrs. e. e. Martin,
who formerly lived and is still
well known in Cody.
