CODY CLUB MEMBERS
ASK CHANGE IN P. 0.
Contractor in Cody and Will Co.
operate With Local Men in
Making the Federal Build
ing Most Attractive
Washington, d. C.
January 20. 1927
Cody Club,
Cody, Wyoming.
Contractor will be asked for pro-
posal changes in Cody Postoffice.
WHETMORE,
Acting Supervising Architect.

The above wire was received this
week from the supervising archi-
tect's office at Washington, D. C.
and has to do with the changes
suggested by a committee of the
Cody Club of the plans for the
building of Cody's new federal
building. MIR. w. D. Lowell, con-
tractor for the new structure was
in Cody last week, and will work
with the Cody Club in making the
new building most attractive.
The COMMITTEES meeting with Mr.
Lowell worked out several changes
which were considered very good
ones, and which it is thought will
give the Cody structure a most
attractive and striking building. 1t
was agreed that the building should
be more centrally located on the
ground available, and that the en-
trance should be constructed of
stone, instead of brick and wood
These with several other minor
changes in the plans were recon-
mended to the supervising archi-
tect, and is looks as though the
wishes of the Club will be given
consideration.
$4,000 has been appropriated
for the construction of the Cody
Postoffice and as the contractors
bid vas slightly over $4,000, there
is a small surplus which the gov
eminent will be willing to use if
any worthwhile changes are sug-
gested.

Mr.. Rankin regarding his action, he
states that all of these cases were
filed by the previous county attor-
ney. that many of the search war
rants were defective. and that he
did not believe the state was justi-
fled in proceeding in any one OF
the actions, doubling very mach
if a conviction could be secured
with the available evidence. Mr..
Rankin stated that he alone was
responsible for the action taken in
these actions, and that the court
and judge was not to be censored
for his action.
The case of the state VS. Tolman,
which has to do with a sheep dip
ping violation, was also dismissed
on a showing that weather condi-
tons were such as to prohibit the
compliance of the statute.
Jury For Thursday
With the dismissal of the cases
on the docket, Judge Metz dismiss
sed the jury until Thursday morn
ing, 'at.@which time the wheels of
Justice will again begin to move,
the civil cases on the docket

they would not want to operate it If
they did not think that it will pay
and that under the contract that Will
be given the Hamilton system II they
do operate the hotel the Hamilton sys-
tenn will not get a cent from their
work until the hotel has paid the per
cent on the preferred stock and is in
the act of paying on the common stock,
at which time the Hamilton system
will get a so per cent cut
In this connection Webster pointed
out that out of more than a score OF
hotels operated under Hamilton and
an allied system every one is paying
dividends and such dividends that this
common stock is more valuable than
the preferred stock as an interest
payer, The common stock costs
nothing as one share of it is given
with every share of preferred stock.
He urged that none of the purchasers
sell any of their common stock and he
predicted that within three or four
years the interest that will be paid on
this common stock will cause every
purchaser to see the reason for this
advice
Webster said that the stock selling
campaign will go over, that the money
will be raised and that hotel will be
built. He said that he was certain of
this because the men Of the community
cannot now afford to back down. The
reason for this is that the entire world
has been notified through the press
that this hotel is to be built and it
would be impossible to measure the loss
to this city if it should fail now.
He compared the men who attended
the dinner conference with another
class of men by saying that there are
two classes of men in every town. One
class is that which gets out and does
things for it's town and the other class
is made up. of men who "just live
here"
E. W. Graves in his address said that
statistics proved that at this time this
city is short nearly 200 rooms for the
accommodation of travellers. It was also
brought out in one talk that town is
judged almost altogether by it's hotel
Accommodations and that when people
come to a town and are forced to stay
in a poor hotel they go away as soon as
they can with. a very poor opinion OF
the town,
There are about five community
built hotels in the Hamilton chain, il
was stated at the meeting. All of these
are making money and the one al
Flagstaff, according to reliable infor-
nation, needs so additional rooms. This
hotel was built in a town of less. than
5000 population and 100000 was
raised there for its building.
At 1915 p. m. Wednesday, at the
Presbyterian church annex, the sales
group will lunch with the executive
committee and the Kiwanis club, which
is represented almost to a man on the
sales group. At that time final instruc-
tions will be given the rs statesmen ano
the rest of the money will be raised.

be easy, everybody admits, because the
difficulties presented are greater than
expected.
The Japanese scheme admittedly IS
vague, but apparently means that
Japan will maintain her present crui-
ser strength, which is only slightly
under the American. The British con-
tend that by extending the life OF
battleships from 20 to 26 years the
United States and Great Britain will
build six fewer battleships in the next
decade than stipulated in the Wash
ington agreement, and Japan tour
fewer.
THE other main British proposals in
cluded reducing the size OF future
battleships from $4,000 to 10000 tons
and of their guns from 16 inch to 1872 !;
making aircraft carriers smaller py
1000 tons and limiting the size OF
future cruisers to $500 tons and their
guns to inch instead OF 8 inch
The Americans have been pointing
out that 10000 ton cruisers are needed
in America to cover distant points like
| the far east, where America has nc
naval bases, and that 6-inch gun
limit would give nations having big
| merchant fleets an immense advantage
as these could immediately be con-
verted into an auxiliary war fleet by
! mounting 6-inch guns, whereas 8-inch
guns are too big for utilization by mer-
! chantmen. England, therefore, would
have an advantage because of her SUI
perior merchant fleets.
AS the United States is building big
long distance submarines, the adoption
| of the British proposal to limit the size
to 6-inch guns also would hit thC
American building program.

Among other things, it was found,'

All the interest of the 5000 fans
assembled centered in the showing
Of William t. Tilden, the American
star, and Rene La Coste, ranking
humber /, against their respective op"
ponents. Both won their matches
without giving the spectators an op-

and the Frencnman lcafed through
their three sets.
Henry Cochet, Jean Borotra and
Jacques Brugnon, OF France; Louis
Raymond, South Africa, and Kari

seeded players, passed the test SUE
cessfully. Takeichi Harada OF Japan
was the only upset, he being defeat
ed by comparative newcomer,
Pierre Landry OF France.
La Coste, with his newly acquired
reputation of the greatest player i'll
the world, and his Is wear old OPP
ponent, Sidney B. Wood, an A!ner1-
can boy, provided something OF q
joyful note in the rather monotonous
Gay. La Coste, usually serious
minded over the net, seemed to take
lot of fHn out of the uneven con-
test.
Young Wood managed to score
five games in the three sets, the
match ending in La Coste's favor,

sensational stories appeared in the
newspapers that he was suffering a

This greatly worried the American
spectators, but Tilden hiraself mace

"Ihe trouble with my knee is NOT
the old cartilage injury which at
fected me last year. I ran against
the side Of the courts while 1sW-

The American spectators were CIV

COMMISSION WARNS

The commission points out in

ii is unable to find wave lengths.
It is known that the Forum has
been soliciting funds for the purchase
of ground for n headquarters building
on the roof Of which a hroadcasting
station was to he erected.

which requires that permit be OBJ

For your convenience. application
forms are inclosed herewith. At the
