WILL HAVE FREIGHT
SERVICE THIS FALL

Starting today the C. B. & @.
railroad is putting in on a straight
freight train on the Cody-Frannie
line, which will be in operation
until some time in December, or
until after all the heavy freight
shipments have been handled from
the Cody branch line. This new
service is going to facilitate the
service of the passenger train to
a great extent and will undoubtedly
permit the Cody train to be on time
most of the time.
The decision of the Burlington
to put on this extra train during
the heavy shipment sssson is but
another evidence of it's desire to
give the best possible service to
the communities it serves. A year
ago the Cody Club took the matter
up with the railroad, calling it's at
tention to the fact that the train
service. by reason of the heavy
freight business. was very poor, and
the arrival of the mails most I'M
certain. 1t is gratifying to know
THAT this condition of affairs is
not to be repeated this season.

MEETEETSE BARBECUE
DRAWS BIG CROWD

Meeteetse's annual celebration,
The Barbecue, held each year on
Labor Day. was again this year an
event most unusual. Cars lined
the roads from every part of the
county, and Meeteetse was host to
a crowd which must have number
ed close 10 a thousand people.
The program started with the big
beef barbecue at noon, when every
one attending was fed on beef cook
ed to a run by most expert bar
becuists, and with trimmings such
as coffee, sandwiches and beans
furnished by the good ladies' of the
lGreybun valley. There was plenty
for all and this part of the pro
gram. although a real undertaking

After the feast. a ball game was
played, between teams from the
town of Basin and Meeteetse. Cody
furnished a few players for its sis

reason thereof, also a few rooters
for the Meeteetse lineup. Needless
to say this event was a battle royal

inning arrived. marking the end OF
the game. Meeteetse's cor multi
piled that of Basin several times.
A racing program was given i'm
mediately after the ball game at
the track south of town. and the
ranchers from up and down the
creeks had their fast stock entered
for the events. This part of the pro-
gram was very well conducted.

concessions which furnished amuse-
ment for those staying In town. and

dances aver held in Meeteetse was

Cody orchestra and not until the
wee hours of another work day
did the crowd thin out and return

ONE HUNDRED All CLUB MEMBERS
TAKE PART STATE FAIR ACTIVITIES

All club work is becoming more
and more an important feature at
state and county fairs. Wyoming
is abreast with the times in this
feature and the club work at our
State Fair compares with that of
other states.
County teams viii be selected at
the county fairs during the first
week in September and special
training will be given for the state
stock judging and demonstration
contests to be held during State
Fair week.
Two types Of ADMINISTRATIONS will
be featured in the agricultural hall
at the fair grounds. The agricul-
tnral club members will demon
strate topics of interest to Wyoming
farming such as feeding and car
ing for livestock, control of po-
itato Diseases proper housing of
poultry" etc.
The home-making clubs will con
fine their efforts to pfo6lelas con-
corning the household. emphasizing
especially sewing, baking and can
ming.
The livestock members will de-
vote one day to judging livestock
including dairy cattle, beef cattle.
sheep and hogs. The show stock
on the grounds will be used in the
judging rings.
Seven or eight stock judging
teams from as many counties will
compete for honors in the contest.
The high ranking team will be
awarded prizes by the State Fair.
The team winning the contest may
have an opportunity to represent
Wyoming at an interstate or inter-
national contest. 1t will be emem-
bered that Wyoming won the Inter
national non-collegiate contest at
Chicago last fall. In this contest
twenty-five states were represented.
Our state may well be proud of
such an achievement.
Liberal Premiums on Club Exhibits
Dairy cows and calves, sheep and
hogs raised by club members will
be exhibited at the stock barns.
Much of this livestock will of course
come from the local county, how
ever. Goshen County may exhibit
some of the dairy heifers and hogs
purchased which were purchased for
club work last spring.

VERY SMALL ENROLMENT

iThs Cod schools opened on Mon
day, enrolment day. with a very
normal enrolment in both the
grades and high school. ALL teach
ers were at their pest and every
thing went off in very good shape.
Supt. Robertson, who is taking up

feet shape as was physically pos
sible.
Two hundred and twenty-nine pu-
pills reported in the grades and one
hundred and twenty in the high
school. This enrolment in the
high school is short at least thirty
pupils over what it was a year
ago. but it IS expected that as the
season progresses many more will
report. Supt. Robertson is anxious
that wherever possible, the entry
be made early, so hat the class
es may be organized in the most
efficient manner.
The board has not as yet secured
an instructor for the Fifth grade,
and Mrs. Craig Thomas, wife of

Ohio on company becomes probably
the largest holder or valuable oil
land on the proven structure in the
Oregon Basin field. W
The Ohio is the only company
having a producing well in the Ba-
sin at the present time. and 1t is
to this company that much of the
credit is due for the vast develop
e which has been going on there
this summer. Not only has the Ohio
been credited with the building of
the fifteen mile pipe line from the
field to Cody by the Illinois PIPE
lines. but 1t has Itself constructed

miles of water line below frost line.

is also furnishing the gas for pow

pany is a French syndicate which
was headed by one Capt. Lane for
whom the company was named. En-

ations in the Oregon Basin field

production of the well at hat time
was estimated to be from 90 to 80

considered a commercial well. The
hole was finally drilled to 2,190
feet.
The Sidney Claim. NWA 5-51-
