JUDGE METZ HOLDING
SHORT Term COURT

District Judge P. w. Metz is in
Cody this week holding a short term
of court in an effort to clean up the
court calendar and remove some of
the nor pressing cases.
The first case to be tried is the
State VS.. James Dunton. proprietor of
the Ralston dance pavilion. About a
month ago the county attorney filed
a temporary injunction against Dun
ton and warned him that they could
only operate in a manner provided
by the state statutes. The state at
this time is asking for a permanent
injunction against the pavilion which
will allow the permanent closing of
the place as a nuisance.
A great deal of evidence was intro
duced from people who live in or near
Ralston or who are property owners
in that vicinity. Some of them testi-
fed that the operation of the pavilion
had deprecated the value of their
property and others stated that they
could not see that the Ralston pa
vilion was any worse than any public
dance hall, although they admitted
they had witnessed various illegal and
immoral acts committed there.
The judge handed in a decision on
the case at 1890 today in which he
instructed the county attorney and
the sheriff to pick a man as a deputy
to attend the dances given at Ralston
and see that order was preserved and
instructed Dunton to pay the ex-
pense of such a deputy. and further
instructed him TO close at II o'clock
on Saturday night.
The trial of the city ordinance
passed last year providing for the
levying of a gasoline tax to 60 direct
ly to the city will be heard at this
time. The question is whether or not
such an ordinance is legal.
Ralph Hurlbut, who was caught by
the sheriff some time ago with liquor
in his possession, pleaded not guilty
at this time and his case will be held
over until the next jury term of court.

MRS. ANDY MUIR BUYS
The MANHATTAN CAFE

A deal was consumated this week
whereby Mrs. Andy Muir purchased
the Manhattan cafe from Mrs. Bertha
Shrine and will take possession Sat
urday of this week.
Mrs. Muir. formerly Blanche Gokel,
needs no introduction to the people
of this community, as she has been in
business here and at DeMaris Springs
for the last eighteen years. Prac-
tically all her enterprises are along
the resteraunt line and she is well
equipped in experience for the new
enterprise and will probably enjoy a
large and ~appreciative patronage in
the future. The Manhattan cafe is
one of the best equipped in the town
and has recently been reprinted and
decorated.
Mrs. Shrine has announced no
plans for the future.

Wants Trainload of
Produce from Basin

Val Kuska, colonization agent for
the Burlington railroad, arrived in
Cody the fore part of the week and
will remain here for several days,
Mr. kuska is well known here as he
was at n time connected with the
Lakeyiew Land company.
The latest project which Mr.. Kuska
is working upon for the advertising
of the Big Horn basin is to get the
farmers of the basin to ship an entire
trainload of turkeys or honey to the
eastern market at one time.
The advertising value of such a
train can readily be appreciated. The
people of this section AN readily re-
call when a trainload of automobile
was shipped into Billings this spring.
The same thing would be true in all
eastern points where a train load OF
produce from the Big Horn basin
would pass through. 1t would leave
a lasting impression of our country
upon the minds of the e~asterner con
templating a move to this country.

Rain NEARLY CAUSES
SERIOUS ACCIDENT sun.

The sharp rainstorm which came
down the valley on Sunday afternoon
was the cause of the road becoming
very slippery and several cars exper-
fenced difficulty in making their way
in the vicinity of Carter and Mar
quette creeks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dick Downing, who
were returning to their home on the
Martin flat. had the misfortune to run
off the Carter creek bridge at the
Blood ranch. The car turned COM
pletely over and landed in the bottom
of the creek. Luckily they were able
to get out of the car, a coupe, and es-
capped with minor injuries.
A team was secured nearby and
the a vas extricated from the creek
and al under its own power to the
Blood ranch buildings a short distance

Establishment of additional game pre-

And speaking of antelope brings to
u mind the herd of more than a
thousand of these animals which may
be seen from the highway above Nee

herd is fostered and protected by the
Pitchfork ranch interests and has in
creased in a few years from less than

May Have Daily
Mail on Northfork

A petition has been circulated on
the Northfork which every resident
has signed, and which will, if it is
approved by the authorities, secure
a daily mail service on the river as
far as Pahaska. This extra service
would only be put on from the first
Of June until the first of October,
which amply the tourist sea-
son.
Such a mail service in this connec
ton would be Of great value 20 the
resorts and ranches and il is felt that
It should go through in view Of the
demand for such additional service.
Southfork has had such a mail SER
vice the year around and yet the de-
mand there Is no greater there in the
summer than on the Northfork.
The petition will have TO be ap-
proved by the postmaster general and
II he gives il such approval a new and
separate contract in addition TO the
one now providing for n twice n week
mail service will be let. II Is only q
question Of time until such service
will be granted and II is hoped that II
will go through in time for the COM
ing season TO have the benefits.

At n meeting Of n number Of the
representative citizens Of Cody held
last night, the matter of the coming
municipal election on May 18th was
discussed and considered. II was the
unanimous opinion of those present
that the present administration OF
DIR. II. C. Trueblood as mayor has
been most satisfactory and should be
continued for another term.
Attention was called 10 the many
constructive features OF the present

Billings Booster Pays
Cody Visit this Week

W. w. Gail of the Billings Adver-
Using company. with Mrs. Gail and
Mrs. Ralph Rauh of that city, motored
to Cody the first of the week and
spent several days here in the interest
of a tourist guide which he publishes
and which is called "The Golden
Guide"
The Golden Guide covers the entire
resort area on the east and north of
Yellowstone park and is devoted to
information for the tourist about the
Midland Empire in the way of roads,
routes, towns. resorts and accommo-
dations. The Cody Club carries an
ad in this. guide as do many of the
local dude ranches and resorts. This
year Mr.. Gail is planning on the dis
tribution of fifteen thousand of these
guides and guarantees at least twelve
thousand, so the advertisers are get
ting a good run for their money.
While here Mr.. Gail addressed the
Cody Club at their regular Monday
luncheon and kept up his reputation
of the past for being one of the best
after dinner speakers who favor this
community with their wit and enter
tainment. In his talk Mr.. Gail made
an invaluable suggestion that Cody
take steps to have some publicity at
the Semi Centennial celebration of
the Custer Massacre, to be held the
last Of June. This suggestion will be
taken advantage of as there is oppor-
tunity for the best kind of publicity
at that time and place and the best
possible prospects for tourists to visit
the Buffalo Bill country will be pres
emit, as Mr.. Gail brought out.
Mr.. Gail is one of the few we are
always glad to see return and are al
ways willing to listen to, for he has
the knack Of mixing enough enter
tainment with his business to put 1t

The attendance at the meetings of
the Cody Lions Club has increased
from a mere handful to an average
of more than thirty and each member
has a keen interest in the club and its
affairs. Working tremendously with
other clubs of the Big Horn basin the
Lions are doing a big work toward
community betterment and have brot
about a better spirit of cooperation
between the different towns of the

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION
State of Wyoming
Executive Department

Spring and the awakening of nature
suggests the approach of Arbor Day
and plans for its customary observ-
ance The economic value of vegeta-
ton and likewise the pleasure and sat
isfaction it affords, both in its cult
walton and in its maturity. are too OBJ
vious to require emphasis. And no
where else is such cultivation more
important than in this Rocky Noun
tain region where only trees and ad-
ditional verdure are needed to sup
plement natures gift of scenery which
in variety and splendor can scarcely
be surpassed.
1t is appropriate also that upon Ar
Dor Day there should be included OBJ
servance of American Forest Week.
Timber conservation and reforesta-
ton constitutes a problem which chal-
lenges the wisdom and best effort of
the American people in its solution
in order that there may be maintained
a balance between the production and
consumption of forest products. 1t
is vital to the young State of Wyom-
ing that not only growth and protec-
ton of its native trees should be n
couraged, but that there should be in
troduced such other varieties as ex-
Fermentation as disclosed will sur
vive under climatic conditions here.
Therefore, l, Nellie Tayloe Ross,
Governor of the State of Wyoming,
in pursuance of the law and by virtue
of the authority in me vested, do
hereby designate and proclaim Mon
day, the third day of May, A. D. 1926,
ARBOR DAY
and ask that the people of Wyoming
turn aside from their customary work
on this day for the planting of trees,
flowers and shrubbery. and that they
hold such fitting ceremonies as shall
promote interest in its observance.
In Witness Whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State of Wyoming
to be affixed.

Evans Jewelry Store to
Open In New Quarters

According to an announcement in
another part of The Enterprise the
Jack Evans Jewelry Store will be
formally opened for business in its
new quarters in the Cody Theatre
building on Saturday of this week.
This new store was designed and
planned by the proprietor, Jack Evans,
who has been in business in Cody
for several years and has enjoyed a
generous patronage during that time.
1t is evident from only a casual in
spection of the new quarters of the
store that Cody now has the most
modern and best planned and fur
nished jewelry store in northern Wy
oming if not in the entire state.
The wood work is of paneled gum
wood and the natural grain has been
brought out in such a way as to give
the best decorative value. The bot
tom of the cases are of marble and
the top is covered with heavy plate
glass which may be lifted to give &C.
cess to any articel on display within
Mirrors have been mounted on two
sides of the room and the east side
has a large display window for the
benefit of the theatre crowd.
The furnishing, fittings and stool

Increase Of More Than $lOOOOOOOO in
Income Tax Collections for the Third
Quarter Of Year Reported By Government

WASHINGTON, Oct. q (AP) - An
increase of more than $10O,00O,O00 III
income tax collections for the third
quarter over the same period last year
was reported today by the treasury
which said collections amounted to
$685., ,212 900.
This was offset, however, by drop
of $90,O00.OO0 in miscellaneous tax re-
ceipts, which resulted from the repeal
of, the capital stock levy. These taxes
melted 1852, 100000 for the period. The
prospective treasury surplus continued
to grow, however with customs collec-
tions amounting to $156,762,00 for the
quarter, an increase of more than Sill
OOO,O over last year. Optimism over
the possible surplus was increased be-
cause of the fact that the full effect of
repeal of the capital stock tax was ex-
pected to be felt in this quarter. This
tax netted almost $100,000,0O0 last year.
No diminution is expected in the in
creasing returns of income taxes while
the drop in the miscellaneous receipts
lis not expected to be so large here
after.
An excess of $23S, 900 receipts
over expenditures stands on the treas
ury books for the first three quarters
of this. calendar year compared with
an excess of 129,2SO,O 900 last year.
