MARKETING ASSOCIATION
In BASIN GOING FINE
Gross Business for Year 1925
$450,O00 Covering Various
Staple Products

The Big Horn Cooperative asso-
citation has just concluded it's fiscal
year and the fourth annual report
is now in the hands of the printers
The report shows a gross business
done of nearly $450,O00. This is
divided among three principal
items: Sweet Glover seed. s65. 900;
turkeys. $160 900; beas.s, ~$225,00
After handling four successive
crops the association finds its
efforts have SO commended it to the
growers hal a larger per cent OF
the possible number of growers are
members thai of any other coopera-
tive in the United States. 1t finds,
in spite of a withdrawal clause in
the growers contract giving grow
one month each year, that there
has not been a single withdrawal
in two years. 1t finds that not
only have the members delivered
to the association such crops as
were handled by the association,
but also, non-members, too, have
for the most part delivered theirs.
1t finds that "a cents put of every
dollar received has gone to the
growers and that an additional 2
cents has gone into reserves owned
by the association, amounting now
to approximately $4,000. 1t finds
it has a rating by the rating agen-
cies of the United States, equalled
by only a few other Wyoming
firms, and finally that virtually all
its customers of the last four years
are still customers and friends
This is a record that has never
been surpassed by any cooperative.
and has seldom been eQualled.
During these our years the crops
grown by members have all been
sold and the net returns to growers
have been increased 80 per cent
over the old system where each
acted independently in %disposing OF
his produce, and, on the average.
10 per cent greater than that re-
ceiyed by the growers of any other
cooperative handling the same pro-
ducts during the same period of
time.

Although there is little change in the status of oil develop

cerned, yet it is very apparent that other operators have been
drawn to the field, and last week The Leonard Petroleum Com
pany signed a lease to drill the Rousseau permit held by a group
of Cody business men. Included in this lease is Section So and
81, Township 81, Range 100 and Section 3, Township SO, Range

acreage and are under contract for sonae real development. The

Memorial Bridge Underpass.

| An arrangement has been approved
| by which traffic congestion at the
Potomac Park approach to the Memo.
rial Bridge will be averted. The Com
mission of Fine Arts has reluctantly
consented to the construction OF
bank OF the park to give an uninter
rupted flow of traffic alongside the
| river shore, while traffic across the
bridge will similarly proceed without
| impeachment. While this will not be as
satisfactory from an esthetic point of
view as the maintenance of both road
ways at the same grade. it will I'M
doubleday be advantageous. especially
on occasions OF heavy use of the
bridge.
In the designing of the Memorial
Bridge and its approaches the ex-
periences Of Armistice day in 1921, on
the occasion of the dedication of the
tomb OF the Unknown Soldier at Ar
lington, have been borne in mind.
The congestion on the Highway
Bridge and the Key Bridge on that
day was tremendous. Thousands of
vehicles were crowded into narrow
lanes, BY miracles of patience and
good management no serious mishaps
occurred. but the conditions clearly
taught that in providing the contem-
plated direct route to Arlington there
must be consideration for the need of
handling a vast volume of traffic with
out interference.
1t is probable that on such an occa-
sion as great assemblage OF people
on the Virginia side of the river,
causing two strong tides Of travel,
going and coming. there will be com.
paratively little traffic flow in trans
verse direction. But whatever traffic
there may be in such a course IT
should not be permitted to interfere
in any degree with the east.west flow
to and from Arlington. Only by means
Of a subway or tunnel can this be
assured.
The underpass itself need not be in
artistic or a blemish to the monumen-
tai structure which spans the river.
1t will not be necessary to carry 1t to
a great length. The approaches to the
lines Of the viaduct may be open and
attractively walled and banked.
There are already two such under.
passes on the main line of travel into
East Potomac Park as the roadway
passes under the Highway and Rail.
road Bridges. The route beneath the
Memorial Bridge can be made much
more agreeable in appearance than
these.

Mr.. Morrow's Selection.

Amendment by President Coolidge
of Dwight w. Morrow of New Jersey
as Ambassador TO Mexico has stirred
comment on the score that the APP
pointee is O. member OF the Morgan
firm. which heads the banking syndi-
cate holding the Mexican loan. This
selection. it appears, was made by the
President himself. He and Mr.. Nor
row were classmates at college ana
have been in close touch ever since
their graduation. Two years ago the
President named Mr.. Morrow as chair
man of the committee OF inquiry into
the Governments aviation program
following the filing of the Mitchell
charges: The recommendations OF that
committee have been accepted by Con-
gress and are now being carried into
effect
As to the qualifications of the APP
pointee to the Mexican post there is
no question. He is by virtue of his
banking connections familiar with the
situation In Mexico. If acquaintance
with the conditions, and especially
those of financial nature, which are
to a large extent involved in the is
sues now pending between the two
countries, counts at all, Mr.. Morrow
will make an ideal Ambassador at
Mexico City, and of his confirmation,
despite the question that has been
raised on the score OF bis business
Affiliations, there should be no doubt.
The United States is protesting
against confiscatory legislation and
constitutional exactions against Amer.
Ice / interests in Mexico. 1t has sought
to adjust the differences by diplomacy
though the crisis due to actions at
Mexico City has been postponed. Am
bassador Sheffield could not effect a
settlement. It is to be assumed that
there will be no change of policy on
the part of the United States in the
appointment of new representative.
1t is difficult, therefore, to see why the
business connections of Mr.. Morrow
should initiate against his efficiency
at the Mexican capital. On the con-
trary, it may be possible that his init
mate knowledge Of Mexican affairs
will serve to carry through the Ameri.
can contention.
For political purposes the appoint
ment may be opposed on the alleged
ground that the selection of a banker
is inappropriate and inadvisable. 1t
will be unfortunate IL through parti.
the administration so highly qualified
an appointee should fail of confirma.
tim
