CLASH LOOKED
FOR OVER CROP
MORTGAGE BILL
Senate to Debate PattersOn's s
Bill Today-Vote Expected
ON Party Lines

On motion of Senator G.. Pat
terson, Renville county. c0nsid-
Grafton Of his bill prohibiting the
mortgaging of crops prior to
their harvest was postponed by
the senate today to Wednesday.
Patterson explained that he
wished additional time in which
to acqua!nt the senator's with
the workings of the bill In other
states.
Badly riddled, but still weathering
the fire Of the Independents, the Pat
terson bill making crop mortgages
illegal until the crops are harvested
is expected to result in sharp clash
in the senate this afternoon.
The fight will probably continue on
straight party lines, and Nonparti.
sans, who saved the measure from an
early grave Saturday, this morning
were marshalling their forces to sup
port its passage.
The bill has been party fight for
the last two Legislative days. The
judiciary committee, with Can
independent majority. recommended
"indefipite postponement" Of the mea-
sure, while a minority report urged
its passage with an amendment tc
except seed liens from the provisions
Of the bill. The majority report, how
ever, was accepted on close vote,
Senator G. Patterson (Nonpartisan),
Renville county, who introduced the
bill, found an opportunity through
absences Of several independent sena-
tors Saturday to obtain reconsidera-
tion and adoption of the minority re-
port.
Only one other bill, one of q series
Of three introduced by Senator L. R.
Baird, Stark county, to speed up ap-
peals to the supreme court in GRIM
inal cases, is on the senate calendar.

Of the Cantonese government. The
crowds invaded the corridors and at
tackled Soong's bodyguard but were

plant"
Kindly take notice of the words
when completed to be ~,000;"
also $6O,106 in the total cost will
entitle the Beaver irrigation dis
trict to its proportionate share in
the profits. From this it will be
that the cost of the power plant
is to be allocated against the pre-
sent and the contemplated divisions
of the project.
From information which we gath
cred while in Washington, we found
that the net earnings have been
small but that the gross earnings
have been large enough to take
care of a very rapid depreciation
and we realize that the possibility
of very much greater earnings
with the development of this sec
ton of the country may very short
ly ARE for the building cost of
the plant after which profits would
be payable as per "A" clause 20
of the Beaver contract:
ION the annual installment of
project construction costs (includ-
ing the charges payable by non-con-
senting application landowners) of
the district beginning with the in
stallment first coming due and con-
tinuing with succeeding construc-
ton installments as far as such
credit will go until the entire con
struction indebtedness of the dis
trict has been paid"
You will therefore notice that in
case we assume the obligation for
this plant it will be charged into
the total construction costs of the
respective divisions, which would
make it payable after all other con-
struction costs have beer paid in
case the earnings from the plant
had not taken care of the plant
cost previous to that time and in
case net earnings accrued after
plant was paid for they would APP
ply on the construction first COM
ing due. This appeals to us as a
good business proposition and we
hope, in bringing this to your at
tention, that the landowners of the
entire project will avail themselves
of this opportunity to investigate
the true status of the power plant
and, If our conclusions r correct,
that the people of the project will
cooperate that immediate action
may be had. for if the plant as a
whole were sold to private mono
poly. it would be too late for the
people of the project to avail them
selves of any profits or benefits.
Yours very truly,

Section IA and Is specify that no

There is a lot more that might
be said about this law. but we have
used too much valuable space al
ready. Those who have read our
remarks will naturally infer that
we are opposed to gathering aband-
oned horses and d~isposing of them.
We are not. We believe it should
be done, and that there should be
legislation providing for the orderly
and just handling of such horses.
but this piece of legislation is so
unjust and unfair and faulty in SO
many respects that we believe 1t
should never have been approved.
Had the law been aimed at coy
otes turned loose in the state by a
bunch of escaped criminals, it might
be all right, but a law that arbi-
trarily places n mans property at
the mercy of another man, who is
naturally inclined to rid the country
of hat property, is not good legis-
~lation."

Beaver Water Users Urge Settlers About
Powell to Take Over Power Plant
Powell Tribune)
Powell Tribune)

Beaver, Wyoming, Aug. 1, 1927
Editor Tribune:
In reading your issue of July 2S,
we find under heading Selling
Surplus Electric Power" a very in
teresting and highly important point
being raised which we should be
brought prominently to the atten-
ton of every unitholder within the
Shoshone and Deaver irrigation dis
fricts and we are replying to the
same because we feel that we may
the subject which may cause a
thorough Investigation of our posi-
bilities of deriving profits from the
sale of power.
In our opinion. from investiga-
tions carried on while negotiating
our contract at Washington, d. G.
we have come to the conclusion
that the power plant, located at
the Shoshone dam, is not a project
power plant. as it was built from
the general reclamation funds and
the cost thereof is not charged
against the lands of the project nor
allocated against the respective di-
visions of the project and only
by the districts assuming their pro-
portionate share of the costs can
they become participants in the
profits from the sale of power.
1t is our opinion that this should
be done at the earliest possible
date and we quote paragraph 2.
clause 10, of the Beaver irrigation
contract for your information as to
the present status of the power
plant:
Included in the cost as named
above, is an item of approximately
s60,106, representing the Beaver
districts proportionate share of the
cost of the Shoshone project power
plant, the entire cost of which is
estimated. when completed, to be
s733,000, and the inclusion, to be
entitle the Beaver district to its
proportionate share in the net pro-
fits of the Shoshone power plant.
PROVIDED, However, that the Dea-
yer irrigation districts share in the
costs and the profits of the power
plant will be dependent upon the
Garland division of the project obli-
eating itself to pay it's proportion
ate share of the cost of the power
plant and in the event of the fail
ure of the Garland division to as
sumo this liability. the said item of
$60.106 shall be eliminated from
the total obligation assumed by the
Beaver division, and the Beaver di-
vision will not be entitled to share
in the net profits of the power

GREAT SHOOTING EXHIBI-
TON HERE AUGUST 18th

Adolph Topperwein, of San An
tonic, Texas, who has earned for
himself the title of the wizard of
the rifle" and who incidentally is
also a wizard with shotgun and
revolver as well, is scheduled to
give one of his great shooting ex-
hibitions here in Cody.
Topperwein has been giving his
marvellous program of shooting be-
fore hundreds of thousands of
people during the past third of a
century and his coming to Cody
offers an opportunity for anyone
who enjoys watching a past master
make firearms perform for him to
see something worth going a long
way to see.
Shooting is play to AID. Topper
vein. He is as happy as a baby
with a new toy when he is shooting
his rifle or shotgun and making
them do feats that will make, those
who are watching gasp with as
constituent and admiration.
While the Topperwein exhibition
program is not a set one the shoot

bag of stunts for a series of amaz-
ing acts which " fail to thrill
and delight his audience. He shoots
at pieces of coal, at stones, at clay
targets and at blocks in many cases
throwing the object into the air,
then picking up his gun and hitting
them as they fall.
Topperwein Uses a Winchester %
repeater, a % Winchester automa-
tic, a lever action. the ISL high
power self loading and a Winchester
shotgun in carrying out his pro-
gram. With each of mis- series of
arms he performs remarkable feats,
each seemingly more marvellous than
the one before.
With some of the rifles and guns
Topperwein shoots at balls, bricks.
potatoes and apples with remark
able precision and results. With
the small caliber rifles he shoots
at marbles, single. double and triple
small washers and sometimes bits
of money when some one wishes
a souvenir of the exhibition. He
also losses several objects into the
air at once and breaks each as it
falls with a different gun.
One bit OF shooting which can-
not be done everywhere but which
is a very effective feature of his
program when shooting arrange
ments permit. is that of placing
two targets on chairs. n 90 yards
