CANYON ROAD OPEN
TO TRAVEL JUNE FIRST

w. X. E~veringham of the Evering-
ham contracting company states that
the road through the canyon will be
open to traffic on their contract date
the first of June. Recently they have
been pushing the work on the big tun-
mel by working both a day and a night
shift, and unless some unforeseen cir
cumstance turns up it will be finished
at that date.
Mr.. Everingham also stated that
they have completed about a thousand
feet of the grading in addition to that
which the contract calls for al this
time. The masonry and work of in
sailing the guard-rails on the outer
edge will continue throughout the
summer but will in no way interfere
with the traffic. The people of Cody
and especially of Northfork will in
deed be grateful when this work is
completed and they have the use of
one of the best roads in the state in
the place of what was once the worst.

County Spelling Contest
Held Saturday at Cody

The spelling contest for grade pu-
pills of the county was held at the
high school auditorium Saturday. The
contest is conducted by the state de-
partment of education and the winner
receives a trip to Douglas this fall to
attend the state fair.
Marian Van Wagner of Garland
won first; Saboila Speilman of Pow
ell, second, and Anna Phelps, Lower
Sage, third.
Mrs. Chisholm, Mrs. Maxon, Mar
garet Hayden, Miss Davidson Of Pow
ell and Mr.. Powers of Garland acted
as judges. The words were pro-
nounced by Mrs. C. A. Bradbury of
Irma Flat and Mrs. Adamson of Pow
ell.
1t can be said to the credit of the
losers that they did not lose by the
mispelling of words so much as the
failure to pronounce them before
they spelled them. Those taking first
and second places are eight grade stu.
dents and Miss Phelps is a seventh
grade pupil.

N0RTHF0RK AGAIN IN
LIQUOR LIMELIGHT

Sheriff Henry Dahlem and Under
sheriff Hancock made a trip up the
Northfork on Thursday of last week
and investigated the liquor situation
in that locality.
The sheriff had a little better luck
than on his previous trips and sue
ceeded in locating a still of so gallons
capacity with $50 gallons of mash in
connection. Eighteen gallons of the
finished product vas found with the
rest of the equipment. Harry John
son, who was at the still when it was
seized by the sheriff, was brought to
town and lodged in the county Jail
and charged with illegal manufacture
of liquor. At the present time he has
not secured bonds. Hardy Shull is
also charged with illegal manufacture
in connection with Johnson and Claud
Shull is charged with illegal trans
portation.
The sheriff also brought in a sam
pie of the finished product and it is
said to be of high proof.

rod and GUN CLUB
HOLD MEETING SAT.

The Rod and Gun Club of Cody,
which is associated with the Izaak
Walton League of America, held n
meeting at the library on Saturday
evening of last week. The purpose of
the meeting was to draw up a group
of recommendations in regard to the
game and game preserves of this
country, to be given to Bob Rumsey,
who in turn will place them before
the state game and fish commission
when they meet some time in July.
The Northfork section, which has
received so much publicity in the past
due to a faulty game preserve bound
airy, received the attention of the
Club and the following recommends
tons were made: That Jones creek
be opened to hunting; that the north
boundary of the game preserve be
made legal and a definite line be
blazed oil else put back to the river,
which is the natural boundary; that
a section in the Crandall Greek coun-
try adjacent to the park line and west
of the divide be opened to hunting in
an endeavor to split the Lamar herd
and bring some of the game into the
Sunlight country to winter; and that
a dispute over the game preserve line
in the Greybull country be settled.
The Club also recommended that
bear be classed as a game animal and
a bag limit be placed on them, and
asked that the guide license fee be
lowered to $40, and require a guide
for each hunter.

Enterprise Installs
Stereotyping Machine

In line with the policy of building
up the plant of the Enterprise in an
endeavor to give its readers a better
paper we have this week installed a
complete Electric sterotyping ma
chine. This machine is the latest
thing in the way of a sterotyper for
a small office. 1t carries with il a
complete ad and news service which
will enable us to give our patrons bet
ter service than in the past. We can
now cast a great variety of illustra-
tons and printed matter from mats,
which is a great saving in hand work.
Bring in your printing needs and let
US help you solve them.

EXPLOITING NEW
PARK CO. PRODUCT

Burgess Payne, formerly of Cody
and for the past several months of
Chicago and other eastern points,
came in last week and has commenced
operations on his mining claims south
of town and is working a crew of
men taking out clay.
Mr.. Payne has been more or less
active in this field for several years
and has always felt that this local de-
post of clay, known as colloidal clay,
was of commercial value if it could
be placed on the market. Recently
he has succeeded in finding a market
for the product and will ship three
carloads at this time. The clay is
used in the manufacture of soar and
is of ideal consistency for this pur-
pose as it is entirely free from grit.
The public is familiar with a good
many of the generally used cleansers
which are unpleasant to use in the
removal of grease because of the pres
ence of sand and grit. Soap made
from this clay not only has the won
derful cleaning powers but is pleas
ant to use.
The mining claim which Mr.. Payne
is working is directly south of Cody
near the Joe Vogel ranch. From the
looks of the formation there is an I'M
limited amount of the clay and if a
steady market is found there is good
prospects for another industry being
started in Park county. Mr.. Payne's
company is called the Colloidal Clay
company.

posed of Will Richard, Dinty Moore

lected as the third director to fill the
