Brother Baird of the Powell Tri-
bune c-haracterizes Cody's oil devel-
opment as an "insipient BOOM. We
hope not. With one well in the
Oregon Basin which is estimated
by the oil men mot newspaper au-
thority) as a well which will run
several thousand barrels of oil a
day, with a pipe line some fifteen
miles in length. costing in the neigh
borhood of s225,0O0; a $4,000
water system; with two huge 3d.
600 barrel tanks at the rail head
east of Cody; a $4,000 barrel tank
and pumping plant in Oregon Basin
where there is also probably a
million dollars worth of drilling
equipment in use in drilling more
wells. we sincerely hope Ssst II is
not an "insipient boom, nor even
insipient development.
That the town of Cody is grow
ing rapidly is evidenced by the
meter reading taken Zach month by
the electric light office. There has
been a steady installation Of meters
during the past few months, and
at the present time there has been
an increase of easily 80 per cent
in installation of electric meters.
Owing to character Of the new resi-
dences made available, most of them
being very small, there has not
been nearly as great a percentage
of increase in the mount of cur
rent used.
The past tourist season has prov
en- the, wisdom of the members of
the Cody club in building the small
cabins at the camp ground, for not
a night during the entire tourist
season but that there has heen a.
keeis demand for this character Of
accommodation. Other towns are
now ready to fall in line. and have
similar projects under way for an
other season The Cody Club plans
to sponsor at least fifteen addi-
tional cabins to be built before an
other season.
There is a movement to start a
wild game preserve at Cody. With
a bear. and an elk to start with, |
and the best of prospects for obtain
ing antelope, deer and buffalo, we
believe the project would be a
worthwhile one Certainly nowhere
else would visitors expect to be
able to see a zoo Of this character
so much as in Buffalo Bills town.
nor is there any place else in the
world where the animals can be
obtained with less difficulty.
The last dude train" pulled out
from the Cody station on Monday
evening marking the close of one of
the largest and best tourist seasons
Wyoming and Yellowstone park has
ever enjoyed. Although the 1927
increase has not been phenomenal
in any respects, 1t has been very
substantial, and the operating COM
panies are all very well satisfied
with their business at the Eastern
gateway.
Man has found out how to navi-
gate the air, but how dependent he
is upon his inventions. When on
land, travelling in a car, having
car trouble. he is still in his own
element; when on the water. his
boat goes to the bottom he can
still shift for himself to some ex-
tent by swimming. but in the air
he must rely entirely upon arti-
ficial aid. How helpless man is
after all. in the air?
In Chicago a society of married
men has been organized to define
and defend the rights of husbands.
Here is evidence that a few men
in the world have entirely lost the
sense of fear.
The one thing a wife will cheer
fully admit to her husband is that
she can't think of any reason for
having married him.
When a oma gets a permanent
wave she fervently prays hat II
may sweep some man off his feet
