RE REORGANIZATION FORD
SERVICE STATION HERE
Riggs Motor Company to be Firm
Name Under Which Business
VIII be Operated

With a reorganization of the
local company handling Ford pro-
ducts and conducting the service
station and garage here, the new
firm name is to be. The Riggs Mo-
tor Company. of which A. Pratt
Riggs will be president and A.. G.
Erickson, secretary-treasurer and
general manager. Under the new
order of things both of the gentle
men named will give their time to
the business.
The Ford Service garage, which
is a spacious and modern building
was constructed at the corner of
Sheridan avenue and Fourth street
last year and is one of the finest
equipped garages in the West. The
building is most attractive with a
splendid display room which would
be a credit to a city many times
the size of Cody and a workshop
fitted with the very latest of ma
chinery and tools for the servicing
of Fords and all makes of cars.
In speaking of the new business
recently Mr.. Riggs stated that at
the end of their first years bust
ness here they were very well salts
fled with the volume of business
which had been theirs, and that
continually they were adding fea-
lures to their garage service of
benefit to their patrons. The Riggs
Motor Company is the authorized
dealer for all Ford products of this
part of the Big Horn Basin and all
work done by them goes out with
their guarantee of satisfaction to
the customer.
In speaking of the new Ford car
which has been announced for the
Fall season Mr.. Riggs stated thai
he knew entirely nothing. He is
confident hat The Ford Company
will make good its statement hat
the new model will be the sensation
of motordom of years, and that to
a very great extent will revolutions
ize the manufacture of lighter cars.
There has not been the slightest
information sent out from the fac
tory as to what the ear will be
like, and the rumors that are on
every hand are mostly idle gossip.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12.--Not so
many years ago II was recognized
that the handling of horned beef
animals was not economical.
The horns, no dorht, originally
served for offensive and defensive
purposes but under present day
methods in the cattle industry they
are disturbing element, particular
ly in feed lots tending as they do
to make the animals restless and
irritable. Also in shipping and mar
keting they result in costly bruises
which many times mean substan
tial financial loss to the owners.
In recognition of this fact the
tendency for many years has been
to "breed the horns off, cattle and
this is now evidenced to consider
able degree in all of the beef breeds.
On the livestock markets of the
country the old time "long horn' is
becoming more rare with the pass
ing of each year.
Following the progress that has
been made in breeding off the horns
breeders have also adopted the
practice Of breeding off the legs,
that is. shortening the legs of beef
type animals.
In the old days 'hc rangy, long
legged beef animal had its place on
account of transportation conditions
which required iu Eahy instances
the driving of cattle long distances
to the railroads and, Of course, with
the prevailing conformation ut that
time greater distances could be more
easily covered.

manner most readily was brought
out recently. 1t was pointed out
in commenting on the last period
Of cattle dIoving which occurred
during the time Of the Texas eat
tie trails which began about 1868
and lasted for some twenty years,
that from 1867 to 1895 there were
nearly 1O0,000,000 cattle driven
from Texas to the northern markets
and sold for around $25O.O0O,0OO.
Breed New Type
With the coming of the railroads
and modern transportation facilitiei
the distances necessary to drive cat
tie shortened constantly until move
ment by driving has been eliminated
to such large degree that per-
petuating a type for that purpose is
no longer necessary.
The next step, Of course, was to
breed type having the greatest
beef value and this type it is agreed
should show as little daylight as
possible under the bullock. In other
words. meat and not legs is the
order Of the day and the attention
of the breeder is now focused upon
the yield and quality of beef pro
duced from the animal.
This situation is recognized by
the packer buyer who is an expert
in estimating the meat yield of the
live animal and gauging values ac-
cordingly. The packer would prefer
20 INV Il higher price for the live
animal so long as the percentage of
beef and quality which it yields
would Justify it, as many times the
lower priced animal proves the most
expensive to the packer on the
Looks and at the same time doesn t
make a satisfactory return to the
producer.
This resolves itself into the ques-
ton Of better breeding and finish
ing and the more derisable quality
produced the more satisfactory the
rc'rrn to the producer, the packer,
the distributor and from the con-
sumner s standpoint there is no ques
ton but what quality is appreciated
and commands premium.
