Hear Helena HOIIer

One of these charities put on a
drive some time ago. The money did
not come very easy and the drive
came suddenly TO a halt The next
day the head driver Of this particu-
lar drive drove out Of an automobile
agency in a new car. Money had beei
raised to buy the car and that was an
that was needed at the time. That car
has been seen during the last season
at every picnic and on every picnic
ground and along every trout fishing
stream in this part Of Montana. Hell
ena people presented this charity
worker and his family with new
car so they could enjoy the great out
doors.
It is about time Helena acted oil
the suggestion of Mr.. Hammond and
organize for protection against these
charities They should be supported
but il should be done Systematically
and if il is state wide institution,
Helena should pay only its share and
no more. The talk is being made that
Helena gets the benefits of these
charities.
What benefit?
They buy very little locally and
what they do buy they demand at
cost. They buy only at wholesale and
solicit aims from the stores equal TO
every cent they spend. One shoe
dealer in Helena sold so pairs Of shoes
for $50. We will now likely have
some minister around telling how
many thousands of dollars worth OF
shoes they buy in Helena every yeai
Every business house in Helena which
sells a charity 800 worth Of merchan
disc at cost is also expected 10 dom
ate 500 to the ecause" 10 reciprocate
for the business he is getting.
This city needs a community chest
and committee Of business men TO
handle funds saying to the various
charities "This much fnom Helena and
not another cent. The city is being
bled year after year and decade after
decade by so-called charitable insti,
tutions, on every one of which is fast
ened from one to a dozen families.
AS pointed out, one church has nine
ex-ministers and near min
listers on its pay roll in Helena. Think
it over the next time these men come
into your place Of business or call
at your home Ask the solicitor what
the other eight are doing today
The best thing Colonel Marsters
has done since he came to Helena is
10 resolve to "go out into the vine
yard and go to work" Some Of the
big, strong, healthy, three and four
men engaged in soliciting
charity in Helena should follow the
Colonel out into the vineyard and help
bring home the grape juice.

aged over $500 per day. They we're
doing nothing but comforting, some Of
them looking for drinks and others
out at the State House making nuis-
ances of themselves generally.
If there is anything the matter with
Helena it is, as T. o. Hammond Of
the Montana Trust & Savings Bank
pointed out in an address the other
day: Too many charities to support
too many non-producers to feed.
Helena has some charities of which
it is proud and glad to give To them
the last dollar, but it is also the home
of an army of non-producers who live
off the community in one way or ar
other. Checking up on this class Of
people the other day it was discovered
that there are nine ministers in Hell
ena Of one protestant denomination,
only two or three of whom are really
employed as ministers The others
are soliciting for charities and get
ting out some little publication which
could be put out monthly by any in
telligent laymen without pay. These
men designated as ministers are
drawing a minimum Of $500 pen
month and some of them get $3.50 and
$500. One Of them has had two ex-
tended vacation trips in Europe dur
ing the last five years. He lives we'll
Helena pays not Helena, but group
ioying himself and-usually taking hiA
family with him on the most expen
sive trips he can plan.
For these nine ministers" Helena
has to pay. Every charity located in
the city has to get from 90 to 1901
per cent Of its funds from this COM
munity. The talk is always made,
'sWhat has Helena done? and these
solicitors always explain @Wn cannot
go out in the state and get funds un-
til we have raised at least half Of the
money in Helena" SO Helena puts
it up and the solicitors forget to go
out in the state They stay in Hell
ena and keep warm in winter and
cool in the summer, patiently waiting
until they can come around again

BASKET BALL TEAM
WINS FROM C0WLEY

The Cody Basket ball boys DEM
onstrated their real basket ball
ability on Friday evening in the
first conference game of the sea
son with the fast team from Cow
ley, taking the game to the tune
of a Is to IT score.
Although much smaller and light
er than the Cowley boys, the Cody
boys showed splendid form, and
were much faster than the boys
from the river town. Coach SWEET
ger made several changes in the
lineup during the game, n is fast
working out a basket ball quint
which will be worthy opponents of
any team in the Basin.
On Friday evening the boys will
play the team from Henderson on
the home floor and on Saturday
night will match with the Powell
team at Powell. Cowley won a
victory over the Powell team last
Saturday evening, and the local
boys feel that they will have a good
chance for another victory in the
project town.
At the same time the locals meet
the Henderson team FRIDAY eve
ming, the Cody girls will also play

MORRISON MUST
FACE FELONY CHARGE
RESULT OF ACCIDENT

Jack Morrison was bound over to
the District Court By Judge G.. A.
Marston of the justice court on
Friday of last week, after an all
day hearing had been held. airing
the details of the auto accident in
which little Barbara Kelley lost
her life. Attorney McElvain repre-
sented the state, while Attorney
Ernest j. Goppert has been retained
by Morrison.
The charge against Morrison is
that of having operated his car
in a reckless and dangerous manner
which was contributary to the death
of the little girl. The statute is one
which was passed particularly for
the prosecution of cases of this
character. and makes the offense
a felony, and the penalty either
a fine or penitentiary sentence, or
both.
The testimony which was brought
out at the hearing was along the
same lines as that given at the
coroner's inquest. Both attorneys
went into the details of the affair
very thoroughly, and there was very
little contradictory evidence.

SUPPLIES PURCHASED
FOR NEW LIGHTS

The city council at an adjourn
ed meeting held Monday evening,
accepted the bid of the Casper
Supply for the furnishing of the
supplies necessary for the install
alton of the new ornamental light
ing system proposed for Cody. The
bids called for the furnishing of
all the materials necessary for the
installation of the plant, to cover
the two blocks between End street
and 4th street on Sheridan avenue,
and the lowest bid received was
$4,000.
1t is proposed by the council to
install the new system under a
f~orce-account plan, using local la
Dor for the digging and other work
where possible. The plan is to
have eight of the curb lights in
each of the two blocks, and two
lights across corners at either end
of the project, making a total of
twenty lights. 1t will not be pos
sible to at once remove the old
poles, but this will be done as soon
as possible. The wiring for the
new system will be all underground.

GAME COMMISSION
OPENS PORTION OF
BIG GAME RIDGE
Will Issue Permits for killing %
Moose in Teton County West
Continental Divide

r. r. Rousseau, assistant state
game and fish commissioner writes
that the Wyoming Game commission
which met last week at Cheyenne
granted permission of the game de-
. partment to issue permits for the
killing of twenty-five moose in Te-
ton county, west of the Continental
divide during the hunting season
.of 1926. The action of the game
commission was taken after a
thorough study of the moose situa-
ton in that section south of the
pack. and it was decided that
twenty-five moose could be killed
there without the slightest damage
to the Oos herd.
The commission also took up the
matter of opening Big Game Ridge
to hunting this fall, with the re-
suit that a strip of country about
twelve miles wide al the southern
point, fifteen miles long, and three
miles wide at the northern bound
airy. lying east of Pacific creek and
west of the North fork of the Buff
falo was declared open country for
uuntiuS.
With the meagre information CIV
en- by Mr.. Rousseau. 1t is very hard
to describe the sections thrown
open to hunting. However it starts
at a point near the head of Falcon
creek, its eastern boundary running
south along the Continental divide,
for a distance and thence south to
the North Fork of the Buffalo.
The line follows the North Fork
of the Buffalo for some distance
veering off directly west
Mout seven miles to Emma Matilda
lake which is the southwestern cor
ner of the parcel of territory open
ed to hunting. From a point neal
Emma Matilda lake the west lines
run north up Pacific creek for sev-
eral miles. eventually passing over
a divide to Mink creek. and follow
ing this creek down to a place near
the point of beginning.
There has been a movement for
some time to get Big Game Ridge
opened to hunting, and a start has
been made in this direction by the
action of the game commission.

WILL RE-ADVERTISE
FOR CANYON CONTRACT
Burea of Roads Disqualifies Lowest
Bidder and All Bids Rejected

Chas. Taggart. bidding contract
or on the proposed road work in
Shoshone canyon. received a wire
Tuesday to the effect that the soli-
citor general at Washington had
ruled the lowest bid on this con-
tract as Illegal. and the bureau of
roads declared all bids rejected.
and would issue a new call for
bids at once.
Mr.. Taggart, being second low
bidder, had been hopeful that
should the lowest bid be rejected
that he would be permitted to pro-
coed with the work, inasmuch as
the delay will shorten the time that
work may be carried forward on
the project before a new tourist
season.
The proposed project is one which
will include that part of the can
yon road between the tunnel at the
dam to a point connection with
the project at the west entrance
of the canyon completed last ear.

SHEEP FEEDING ON
PROJECT SUCCESSFUL

The practice of feeding seep for
the market is being practiced for
the first time this season and is
meeting with unusual results. Last
week d. NJ. Mcdonald marketed
five thousand head of spring lambs
which had zee fed on the ranches
adjacent to Powell. and according
t the Powell Tribune. the farmers
are well satisfied with their feed
ing activities.
They took the sheep in October
on a spread-contract basis. that
is they were weighed into the several
ranchers who were to feed them,
and payment for their feed was
made on the basis of the addition
al weight taken on by the sheep.
The spread for the three months
is said to be from fifteen to twenty
pounds per sheep. according to the
methods of feeding practiced.
This is to be one of the big in
dustries of the Shoshone project
where plenty of forage could be
grown for the fattening of several
hundred thousand sheep each fall,
and the returns would be much
greater than where the farmer at
tempts t market his forage on
the Kansas City market.
Those who handled the Mcdonald
sheep included j. C. Krause, Clay
Miller, Wallace Anderson, Edgar
Swallow, Albert Lutonsky, and Har-
Wy and Ed Anderson. The sheep
were marketed on the Chicago mar
ket.
A considerable quantity of the
feed, including barley and oats was
hauled to Powell from the Cody
community for feeding purposes.

TOWN TO INSTALL
MUNICIPAL SCALES

Bids are being asked by the
town council for the purchase of
a set of scales. which will be in
stalled by the city, and on which
anyone may weigh produce. AS
planned at the present time. the
scales will be placed in front of
the Electric Light office, and will
be in charge of ]. E.. Forrest and
Chas. Rector, one of whom is US
ually present at the office.
The bids call for the installation
of a scale with a capacity of fif-
teen tons, that the heavy trucks,
of ten ton capacity may be handled
If need be. The estimated cost
of the scales is in the neighborhood
of five hundred dollars, and with
a nominal charge of ten cents per
weigh slip, it is figured that the
scales will pay for themselves
within the period of two years.

POWELL MEN ARRESTED
BOOZE COUNT BY RED
LODGE SHERIFF

With one key and one jug of
moonshine in their car and an emp
ty keg and nearly a dozen empty
jugs apparently ready to receive
consignments of similar liquid, A.
X. Bradford and Felix Saldana, Civ
ing Powell, Wyoming as their home
were placed under arrest Tuesday

not guilty and were bound over to
the district court under bonds of

along with the car, are being held
by the sheriff.
Suspicious circumstances had
pointed toward the two operatives
for some time, several trips to Bear
creek having came to the attention
of the officers. On previous occa-
sions a larger car had been used but
this time it was a Buick Four of
elderly vintage. The officers be-
lieve the men were just loading UP

been made if the raid n arrest
had not been hurried by attendant
circumstances. Saldana is of Next

SPENT ON DRY
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
REVENUES ARE $4,000

The cost of enforcing the federal
prohibition laws in Wyoming was
$4,000 in 1925. according to Lon
c. Davis. deputy federal admins
traitor for Wyoming.
About 100000 was received by
the courts, representing fines and
bond forfeitures during the year,
indicating that the cost of enforc-
ing prohibition in this state is much
e than the amount of event
by the government from

RED LODGE MAY HAVE
PEA CANNING FACTORY

o. H. Mann. of Woodcross, Iowa.
is expected to arrive in Red Lodge
within a short time, and according
to the Billings Gazette. is to esta-.
blish a pea canning factory at
that place. Work on the factory
will start at once and the factory
will be ready for operation by the
time the June crop is harvested
The factory will employ so girls
and more than hat number of
men. Stations will be located in
several different places so the farm
ers will have it more convenient
to haul their peas.
After the peas nave been thresh-
ed and hauled to the factory they
are sorted into different grades and
picked out by the girls. Next they
are put through |blanching and fill
ing machines, and sealed. ready
for cooking. After the cooking
they are staked in a ware house.
and allowed to stand for about 10
days without being touched. This
is done to find out if the peas
are spoiled through insufficient
cooking or neglect in any way.
Mr.. Mann believes the industry
well adapted for this region. Last
July he visited several farmers and
found them favorably impressed
and willing to raise peas for can
ming.

STATE GETS $55,OOO
FROM LICENSE PLATES
Auto Licenses Going Fast Through
out the State

Approximately $4,000 has been
derived from the sale of 1926
motor vehicle license plates since
they were placed on sale for this
year it was announced Wednesday
by H. M. Symons. deputy secretary
of state.
This amount, it is stated, rep
resents the license fees from about
5000 motor vhicles, including every
kind in operation in the state.
This number will be materially
increased, is is understood, when
the returns are received from the
state motor vehicle license inspect
ors who are selling licenses in other
cities in Wyoming. and the general
indications that the greater num-
br of Wyoming motorists will have
their 1925 plates within the time
allotted them. However, the in
sp~ectors will tour the entire state
in order to check on delinquent
motorists following the usual rush
of the first of the year, it is re-
ported.
In 1925, Mr.. Symons declared
there wre 4S,419 pairs of license
plates issued. In this number. how
ever, is included the dealer plates
and official plates, which number
498. There were 42,538 passenger
car licenses issued, 5,163 truck Ii
censes, 21S motorcycle licenses and
two motorcycle delivery car licenses
issued by the department. which
represents an increase over 1924
of about 10 per cent, according
to figures recently made public.
1t is believed that the total num-
Der of 1926 plates will easily reach
the $4,000 mark, according to pre-
sent indications.
