COOLIDGE SAFE
FROM WANT

Calvin Coolidge win not have to
worry about keeping the wolf from
the door when he leaves the WniIe
House.
Practicing the same economy In
his uriyate life that he has insisted
uporl in Governmental expenditures
President Coolidge win go out OF
office with a moderate fortune
amassed for the most part during
his occupancy Of the White House.
Personal friends estimate Mr.
Coolidge's stake" at somewhere
between 100000 and 100000. not
large fortune in these boom times,
but ample for the Coolidges' quiet
tastes.
Saves from Salary
AT the conclusion Of the Presi.
dents term, he win have served
almost six years as President at an
annual salary Of $4,000. Prior 70
that he was for two years in the
Vice Presidency at $4,000 q year.
and before coming to Washington
enjoyed a $4,000 annual salary as
governor of Massachusetts,.
The President has spent only q
very small part OF his amman saiary
as President. Congress appropriates
$4,000 annually toward travelling
and entertainment at the Executive
Mansion. Mr.. Coolidge has Travelled
little, and his entertaining, while ex'
tensive. has not been OF the ex-
pensive variety.
In addition to the money saved
during his term Of office, the Presi-
dent inherited his fathers estate,
estimated to be worth around
100000.
Mr.. Coolidge has given no indica-
ton of what he intends to do after
retiring from office. He is known
TO have received a number OF bust
ness offers, but friends believe ne
will retire to his old home in Yer
mont. and devote his time to writ
ing and pursuing the quiet life OF
"a country gentleman"
Mrs. Coolidge is reported to have
told friends after her return from
the summer white House" in the
Black Hills that she wanted moth.
ing 50 much as to return to the
Quietude of private life.

BEARTOOTH FILMING
ARRIVE AT NORDQUISE
Party Got Stuck in Snow but Arrive
on Clarks Fork All o. X. To
Go In Yellowstone

Word of the safe arrival at the
Nordquist ranch on the upper
Clark's fork of the party headed
by AL Croonquist which started
across the Beartooth mountains
just before the storm last week,
was received here Monday afternoon
by r. T. Ferguson. supervisor of
the Beartooth forest. in a message
from Mr., Croonquist. F.
The message. which arrived here
by telegram from Cody. after be-
ing telephoned to Cody over the
forest service lines from the Gran
dali Creek station, was as follows:
I'VE got stuck in the snow. II
anybody inquiries, we are all right.
Out In a few days. At Nordquist
ranch now" =. H. Croonquist.
The Nordquist ranch, formerly
the Dickinson ranch, is on the
Clark's Fork about 20 miles south
east of Cooke City and Is miles
below the Montana state line. The
original plan of the party was to
have gone from Windy Gap pass
by Kersey lake to Cooke City,, a
course which is about 20 miles
north.
The Nordquist ranch is about
eight miles north Of the Crandall
creek station. Members of the
party made the trip to the ranger
station Monday afternoon and then
returned. 1t 1t not known whether
they will go on to Cooke City and
continue their original plan OF 60
lag through the park or will come
down the Clark's Fork to Chance
or Belfry.
The party left camp Sonia last
Monday and IL they followed their
original schedule were crossing the
snaju range of the Beartooth al
Windy Gap pass when last weeks
storm struck. Friends have beer
anxiously waiting word from the
party as it was feared the storm
might endanger their safety. Then
arrival on the Clark's Fork means
that they are probably the first
party to cross the main divide OF
the Seartooths in the dead of win
ter.

The Cody association was
represented by Ernest ]. Goppert OF
Cody and Ray X. Lee OF Cheyenne.
VIM. L. Walls and II. s. Ridgley
of Cheyenne were counsel for the
Lincoln Land company. The action
was started by the Cody Canal COM
pany for the sole purpose of estab-
fishing the status of the Lincoln
Land company's holdings in Park
County on which no water tax had
been paid for fourteen years. With
the ruling Of Judge Kennedy that
the Lincoln Land company's hold
ings have no water right or carry
ing capacity In the Cody Canal. the
land involved become virtually
worthless. and even the lands which
are situated within the town of
Cody have no water rights. and
water from the Cody canal car not
be run on them for either CONNER
cial or domestic purposes without
first purchasing same from the
Cody canal.
The town of Cody has a very
good contract with the Cody Canal
by which It is to receive water for
domestic purposes OF a designated
240 acres within the TOWNSHIP. AT
n time this area Is to be increas-
ed, additional water must be pur-
chased by the town.
Last spring when the Cody Club
purchased the 40-acre tract east of
Cody the Lincoln Land company
sold 1t to the Club with the under
standing that 1t carried with 1t a
water right. In order to facilitate
matters the club made arrange
ments to take care Of the delin-
quent water assessments, with the
of the action which had been filed
at that time. that just settlement
would be made. The Club feeling
that the policy of reiinquishing wa
ter rights is n very short sighted
one, expects to complete the pur-
chase of the water rights for the
40-acre tract by the club.

Cheyenne appears in full:

list and cuts off the list the names
of any of those who might be con-
sidered unfit for jury service. It
may be said that in park county
there were but five names cut
from the list filed by the county
assessor.
When the list is completed the
clerk of the court makes up the
jury box. and the name of each
man eligible for jury service is
placed in the box. At the same
time there is an additional jury box
prepared which contains the names
of all those taxpayers eligible for
jury service residing within five
miles of the town of Cody. These
jurymen are called five-mile limit
men, and may be called upon very
short notice by the judge of the
court to fill out his regular jury
panel. However the names of the
five-mile jurymen are also in the
regular jury box, and are subject
to call for service in the regular
drawing of the panel.
At the appointed time set by
the Judge. and with the county
sheriff and clerk of court present,
the jury is drawn. The names
have all been placed in a large
~churn-like box, and when thorough
ly mixed, the slips bearing the
names of the jurymen are drawn.
1t is very singular that there
were but three Cody men drawn on
the jury panel this term of court,
and that one man from the Sage
creek OF Irma Flat communities.
AS to Cody. it is estimated that al
most eighty per cent of the tax
payers of the town are exempt from
jury service. The law requires that
all county and city officials are
exempt. All civil service employees
are exempt. Professional men such
as doctors and attorneys are ex-
empt. Each member OF the fire
department, which numbers about
35 in Cody are exempt. These
exemptions with those who have
acquired the age OF So years. makes
"a considerable exemption for Cody
and throws considerable OF the jury
burden on the taxpayers following
agricultural pursuits.
