a bond survey Of Wyoming.
He is making a survey of the
bonded indebtedness of counties,
municipalities and school districts,
with a view to urging them 30 issue
refunding bonds, where possible.
the bonds to be purchased by state
funds at a low rate of interest.
Much of the state money is now
drawing but 2 per cent interest,
and IL the state paid 4 per cent on
city, county or district bonds, mon
ey would be saved to them and
made for the state, he said.
Edelman contends that the local
tax burden is now larger than the

"If taxpayers of the state will
stop encouraging the small one

he said, they will soon get away
from paying higher taxes"

JOHN MEYERS PLAYS
ROLE In BANK ROBBERY
He and Mrs. Meyers Held Up, Tied
Hand and Foot and Keys of
Bank Taken from Former

AS j~anitor of the Marine, or
Bank of Italy, of Los Angeles, John
Meyer, former townsman of Cody
is having some rather unusual -ex-
periences. In July of last year he
was held up by a lone bandit and
the banks keys secured which re-
suited in a $4,000 robbery. The
perpetrator of the bold robbery was
never apprehended. Last week the
bank was again held up, with a
$1,000 loss. and Mr.. Meyers has
identified the robber as the same
man who did the July job last
year.
The robber entered the Meyers
home while they were away for a
few minutes, and upon their return
surprised them both, and with n
neighbor lady who had stepped. in
for a call, tied them hand and
foot and lay them side by side on
the floor. Taking the banks keys
from Mr.. Meyers pocket he covered
the trio with a comforter and left
for the bank In the bank he sur
prised three clerks who were at
work after banking hours. tied
them all in a similar manner as
the Meyer group and placed them
in a closet. Seeming to know
that the manager was out for a
short time, he awaited his return,
and tied him up and placed him
with the rest of the banking force.
Mr.. Bandit then proceeded to an
mex some of the currency of the
bank, passing over the gold and
silver. The amount. of loot is placed
at from $500 to $4,000, although
he overlooked as much more cur
rency in the cage.
Mr.. Meyers readily recognized
the robber as the same one who
did the job a yea ago, and they
had a sbe-t conversation in which
the bandit admitted he had pulled
the neat job last July. He talked
with a slightly German accent and
was very precise and methodical
in his work. He had a bottle oil
whiskey and offered several of the
men q drink.

on the feed ground. The loss this
winter is estimated at about 1900
which is not such a tremendous
loss when 1t Is considered that a
great portion of the herd, as a
natural consequence, will die of old
age each season.

POWELL EDITOR NAMED
ON INDUSTRY BOARD

r. T. Baird, editor of the Powell
Tribune has been made one of the
Democratic members of the newly
created board OF Commerce and
Industry, which will have to do
with the spending of some twenty
to twenty-five thousand dollars an
nually for the development and ad-
vertising of the state of Wyoming.
Mr.. Baird's selection was made by
Governor Frank C.. Emerson last
week. Other members of the new
board include Harry Weston Of
Cheyenne, Peter Kooi of Sheridan,
and w. f. Wilkerson of Casper.
The Governor. will also be a mem
Der of the board which held it's
first meeting in Cheyenne on Sat-
urday of LIST week.
1t is the plan of the new de-
partment to put in charge of pub
ncity work In the state a capable
secretary, who will probably be Sc
|lected at the Boards first meet
ing. The Governor in making his
selections appointed a banker, a
coal operator and business man., an
automobile dealer ad a newspaper
man. Every esour of the state
will be given proper publicity to
the limit of the departments fl
nancial ability, to the end that wy
Eoming may develop and grow.
At election time last fall Mr.
Emerson's campaign argument was
that In order to substantially reduce
taxes, the state must grow. There
is little or no chance to reduce the
financial burdens of the state. but
with an increase in population the
states e capita can be reduced
very easily. Through a business
like advertising of the states lat
ent wealth and undeveloped resour-
ces, 1t is hoped to bring Wyoming
to the forefront as Of the
rapidly growing commemorative of
the West. II
Mr.. Baird has been a resident of
Powell for about fifteen years. He
is entirely c%onversant with tina
needs Of the Shoshone irrigation
project. He realizes what require
ments will be necessary before agri-
culture In this part of the state
can force to the forefront. and as
a member of the board of CONNER
ce and Industry will look to the
exploitation of each and every re-
source and industry of Park coun-
ty and Northern Wyoming.

GRANDPA MARTIN CELE-
BRATES SSTH BIRTHDAY
Civil War Veteran and One of the
Oldest Pioneers of Cody Com-
+ try Located on NorthfOrk
in 80

The SSth anniversary of the birth
of B. F. Grandpa" Martin was
most fittingly observed on Wednes-
day of last week, with a birthday
dinner, the cake, candles, and
everything, at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Evans, the latter one of
his granddaughter. Many of the
immediate members of the family
were present at the dinner.
Although four and eight
years have passed since this sturdy
pioneer first saw the light of day
he is still a hale and hearty fellow.
He goes to California for a few
months each winter but is never
satisfied until he is again back in
the land where the sage brush
grows, the land which he adopted
as his home almost fifty years ago.
in which he has played a very i'm
p~ortant role in its development.
Grandpa Martin claims to have
come to the United States in early
boyhood and with his parents To-
Gated at Bedford. Iowa. He was
born in Missouri in 1899. After
going to Iowa where he grew to
manhood he engaged in farming,
and lived there many years on what
then was the Western frontier. In
1881 Mr.. Martin made his first
trip to Wyoming, locating on little
Goose creek, above Sheridan. He
made two trips to his Sheridan
ranch from Idaho before he finally
got all his personal effects and his
large family moved west. His boys
and girls were growing up. and
soon he turned to the Big Horn
basin in search of more land.
Mr.. Martin first came into the
Basin in 1890, and after a brief
search for a location filed on a
water right on the Northfork of
the Shoshone river, and located
$40 acres in the area now covered
by the Shoshone reservoir. Later
when he started to complete his
water right filing, the law had been
changed and he was permitted but
800 acres. However his son Andy,
took the other 800 acres and the
Martins owned some of the finest
acreage on the Shoshone river. He
and his sons engaged in the stock
business. ranging on Rattlesnake,
Trout and Big creeks, the same
range which A. j. Martin still uses
today.
The Big Horn basin or at least
that part of it o composing Pari
county was but sparcely settled and
the Martin neighbors were few and
far between. There was no set
Element on the upper Northfork
Chas. A Martin was here in tn
cattle business, as was Charlie De
! Maris. Yes Bloom, Britsche, Col
Belknap and his foreman John
Dyer, a fellow by the name oil
Kiyu oveh on Cottonwood creek and
John Chapman at what is now
known as Two Dot. Geo. Marquette
! had come into the basin and had g
cabin farther up Southfork. Others
came into the Basin soon after,
and the population grew rapidly
after 1891.
Mr.. Martin was a member of a
Missouri cavalry troop for three
years during the strenuous days of
the Civil War, and is one Of the
few G.. A. r. men of Park county.
