TIMES ARE CHANGING
MOTOR SUPPLANTING
FREIGHTER TOSUNLICHT

Times are surely changing in and
around Cody and the old timer who
regrets the passing of the "Old
West" will throw UP his hands in
despair when he learns that the
motor truck is now supplanting the
six-horse outfits in hauling supplies
and equipment into Sunlight basin.
It is but a few years since 1t
took a mighty good horseman and
six real horses to take an ordinary
load of supplies into Sunlight. Last
week Clarence Olson with one of
his White trucks stepped on the gas
and piloted a load of 5000 pounds
over to the PRESLEY Riddle ranch,
and had a most enjoyable trip.
What Olson accomplished in a short
days work would have taken at
least fifteen days, one man and
four horses. even today. But a few
years ago it could not have been
accomplished in twice that time.
Good roads is doing it. A few
years ago when a man took a load
of freight into Sunlight, it required
the first day to reach the summit
of Bald Ridge, where the road
goes yer the top" From there
down the precipitous grade the
freighter would use rough locks on
the wagon wheels and possibly a
log or two dragging behind to as
sist In holding the load back away
from the horses. Today there is
a fairly passible auto road into
Sunlight and round trips may be
made with ease during the summer
season.

VISITING FOREST OFFICER
GUEST OF CODY CLUB

Major John G.. fletcher, secretary

yer. Coloiado, visited Cody this
week end, during which time he re-
viewed matters pertaining to local
headquarters at Cody, and inspected
the new quarters for this work in
the federal building to be com
pleted during December.
S. c. Parks, Jr., incoming pres
ident of the Cody Club for the new
year, introduced Major fletcher as
a practical optimist, and speaking
as a guest of the club, Mr.. fletcher
declared for the sort of optimism
fined to club membership.
Mr.. Teicher has lately returned
from a European tour, and said
that the mountains and lakes of
Switzerland reminded him of those
of our own Yellowstone park, al
most as large as that little country,
but that we enjoy in addition the
great Yellowstone geysers and falls,
and probably most of all the numer-
Gus woodland d~eIizens, from the

along the highways, the moose
posing statue-like in the marshes
along the Cody Road. and the noun
tain sheep cunningly outlining him

Major Teicher told the members
of the club that he could not see
how. with oil below. the water on
the level. and the timber and recre-
ational resources above and all
around. they could possibly escape
normal growth.

it, too though it looks more like American public

To Socrates, perhaps the greatest and best OF the

Modern Greece has little to do with the Greeks who
killed Socrates. The whole world reversed the judg
