CLUB WORKING TO
SECURE RIGHT-OF WAY
VIII Cooperate with Federal Bureau
of Roads in Securing Location
for New Project on Road
to Yellowstone

Howard F. Bell. chairman of the
Cody Clubs road and %transporta-
ton committee, reported at the
weekly luncheon Monday that ev-
erything was being done toward
getting the r~ights-of-way for the
new rohd project on Northfork, and
indications were that the road
would be a 1928 project. Mr.. Bell
has named as his assistants on
the road committee of the club, l..
H. Larom. Chas. Taggart. R. w.
Allen and Ora Sonners.
The proposed project will extend
from Rattlesnake creek to the east
Forest boundary, and will include
The construction of a new bridge
across the Northfork at a point
about a mile above the present
crossing. and hear the homestead
of Brooks Boron. After crossing
the river the road will follow sec
ton lines a part of the way toward
the eastern gateway TO the Sho-
shoEe Forest. If the rfghts-of-way
al be approved in the near future.
the project, which will be built
under the supervision of the Fed
eral Bureau of Roads, using Forest
funds. will be started in the early
spring, and when completed will
make the Cody Way route a high
standard road to the Forest boun-
dairy.

CLUB WOULD
IMPROVE OR MOVE
NEWTON CEMETERY

h disgraceful condition and
general appearance of the old New
ton cemetery was a subject for dis
cussicn at the regular meeting of
the Lions Club on Thursday eve
ming of last week. with the result
that the club is to make an effort
to improve and beautify. or move
the Newton cemetery.
During the discussion it was dis
closed that more than one hundred
bodies are buried in Newton GEM
etery. which is located on the cor
.ner of the Earl Newton ranch south
east of Cody. This was Cody's first
cemetery and for many years all
who died and were inferred here
were buried there. In later years
a municipal cemetery was organ
lied and became the recognized
cemetery of the community.
At the Newton cemetery there
has beens no maintenance provided
and the place has grown to weeds
and brush, many of the graves are
sunken and the place has a gem
eral atmosphere of abandonment.
1t is located on n of the prin-
cipal roads leading into the city,
and it has long been felt by many
of the residents of the community
that something could. and should,
be done there.
1t was pointed out during the
general discussion. at the Lions
club, that it might be most prac-
teal 10 move the bodies to River
side. First the consent would have
to be obtained from relatives of
those buried at the Newton GEM
etery, the cooperation of those in
charge of the cemetery would have
to be secured, and some way of
financing the problem evolved. To
this end a committee has been
named, and a canvass of the situa-
ton should soon disclose if any
thing can be done along this line.

DECLARES CASPER
MEETING GREAT SUCCESS
Industrial Convention Well Attend
ed by Men from All Over the
State and Much Good
Should Result

L. H. Larom of vally. who was
state industrial convention held at
Casper Saturday. made a very COM
plete report of the meeting at the
Clubs luncheon Monday. Mr.. Lar
ON declared that no part of the
state was represented by SO many
delegates as the Big Horn basin,
and felt cry proud of the interest
taken by this section of Wyoming
in this forwadd movement. His
talk was What the Dude Ranch
Means to Wyoming" but said that
to his subject.
Mr.. Larom is a keen thinker and
speaker and was acclaimed as one
of the most active delegates to the
convention. He brought to the
meetings attention the great ben
eits which are being derived now,
and haye been derived for years in
an immigration way, by the dude
business. Take this part of the
state alone. and note the great
number of once dudes who are
uOH SuDSlinLldl idu.llti6, QuOt
ranchers and business men of the
West. Mr.. Larom. now manager
of the Valley Ranch company. one
of the largest institutions of its
kind in Northern Wyoming. was
himself a dude fresh from college
but ten or twelve years ago. He
and hundreds like him, coming
west for a vacation, have been
"sold" on the country. and not
only locate here. but bring in
thousands and thousands of dollars
to assist in developing the country.
The recreational resources of the
state are as yet only scratched. 1t
is only during the last few years
that there has been any substantial
number of visitors spending sum-
mers and hunting big game, in the
Wyoming Rockies. This industry of
the state is bound to further de-
velop, as 1t has in Colorado and
other western states.
Mr.. Larom also stressed the need
of secondary roads" within the
state. He was much interested in
the passage of the Secondary Road
bill at the last legislature, and
hopes that the bill will be revived
another session. He also placed
before the convention in Casper the
need of a high grade road into the
park from Cody. This road Is to-
day recognized as the most popular
entrance to Yellowstone park, yet
the road itself is in the poorest

FATHERS AND SONS
BANQUET NOVEMBER 9

Plans are under way this week
for the Fathers and Sons annual
banquet which will be held on We'd
nesday evening. November 9th, in
the basement of the Presbyterian
church. Needless to say there will
and their dads, and the capacity
of the dining room will be the
only limit to the attendance at this
event. An out-of-town speaker will
be secured and there will be talks
by a few local men and by several
of the boys. Altogether the event
will be an enjoyable one, and ev-
eryone given an opportunity to at
tend and take a son.
Last year there was no occasion
of this kind held in Cody, but this
year the committee is going to make
up for lost time and arrange for a
banquet thai will be doubly inter
esting. 1t being the Presbyterian
ladies turn to serve the banquet
they were approached by the COM
mittee. but stated that it was ply
sically impossible for them to do
the task. The dinner will he
served by the ladies of the Meth
odist church, and the charge will
be 70 cents per plate.
Buy n ticket or a pair of tickets
when the committee calls. If you
can't attend take a ticket for a
boy anyway. there are always more
than enough to go around with the
men who a arrange to attend.
Remember the date, Wednesday,
November 9th. and plan to be there.

CAR In RESERVOIR
GIVES OCCASION FOR
MUCH SPECULATION
Floating Pillows and Car Boards
and Auto Track Over Emrank-
ment Disclose Tragedy at
Shoshone Dam

Up to the time of going to press
there had been no new disclosures
relative to the loss of the car in
tShoshone reservoir just above the
dam at an early hour last Thurs
day. Attention was called to the
possibility OF a car being in the
reservoir OIL Thursday morning
when the men at the hydro-electric
plant noticed a couple Of pillows
floating on the surface of the water
tear the dam. An examination OF
the roadway plainly disclosed au-
tomobile tracks leading over a
slight e~mbankment just above the
dam. and since that time a crew
of men have been p~ersistently try
ing to solve the mystery.
Sheriff Blackburn was called and
has made a most exhaustive study
of the case. From laundry marks
on the cushions found, they were
identified as belonging to n Mrs.
Bird of Lowell, daughter of w. H.
Ellis of the same place. In COM
munication with her she states her
car, a Buick, was stolen several
weeks ago, and has not been heard
of since hat time.
Workmen of the Reclamation
service. cooperating with the sher-
IFS Office. have been dragging the
lake in an effort to hook onto and
raise the car. The steam winch at
the dan is in service and once the
motor car is hooked 1t will be
raised to the surface. The posi-
bility of its Judgement at the base
of the dam, and interfering with
the valves of the hydro-electric
plant make 1T imperative hat it
be removed from the reservoir If
at all possible. The high wind
interferred with work Tuesday, but
the men are again busy today.
Speculation is rife as to what are
the circumstances surrounding the
running of the car into the lake.
There is a theory that the a was
Intentionally placed there by those
who stole it some time ago., and
ever was driving 1t may have ac-
cidently driven into the lake. and
be cooped up in the closed car.
Possibly it will never be known as
to the true circumstances. 1t would
not be impossible at all for n driver
coming toward Cody to drive
straight through the tunnel and on
over the rocky embankment into
the lake. The tracks as read the
next morning showed that the
a neve wavered from It's course
coming out of the tunnel, but went
directly into the lake. The man
in charge of the power plant mo-
ticed a very riley condition of the
water going through the turbines
between two and three o'clock
Thursday morning, a circumstance
which leads him to believe that it
was about the hour when the trag-
edy occurred.

SANITATION BIG FACTOR
IN THE RAISING OF PIGS

That pigs can make hogs of them
selves more surely when narrowed and
raised under improved sanitary condi-
tons is being demonstrated in a
striking way on the Peter Nelson
sons farm near Westbrook in Cotton
wood county. The facts are related
by w. E. Morris, livestock specialist
of the University, and Charles E.
Matthews, the Cottonwood county
agent.
Pigs from eleven sows have been
been raised under sanitary conditions.
The sows were cleaned, the farrow-
ing quarters thoroughly disinfected,
and when the pigs were two weeks
old, about April 1, they were moved
to clean lots where they lived in
clean "A" shaped houses. The pigs
in this lot, 81 in all, are thrifty and

were cleaned before being taken out,
SO that all the pigs have been raised
under thorough sanitary conditions.
Mr.. During has uniform bunch Of
pigs, 140 in all, as compared with 80
raised last year from the same num-
Der of sows under unsanitary condi-
tions.
Seventy-five farmers attended a
swine sanitation meeting held on the
Nelson farm and 40 were attracted
to the Curing farm for the same pur-
pose.

Of uniform size and appearance. In
contrast, from twelve sows on the
same farm only ~ pigs had been
raised under conditions where no SAN
itary precautions were taken. The
pigs in this lot are unthrifty as a
rule and uneven in size, ranging
from good shoats to very small
runty pigs.
On the ]. ]. Curing farm, near
Mountain Lake, the crop of pigs this
year was narrowed in new brooder
houses on clean pastures and the sows
