STATE HIGHWAY MAY
RELOCATE POWELL ROAD

The matter of re-routing the Dea-
ver-Powell road is under the advise
ment of the State Highway depart
ment. and has the support of a
great many of the residents of the
project. The proposed change would
be to change the present route,
starting at a point near the Man
tua coal mine. going directly west,
and joining the Elk Basin road
going south into Powell.
1t isl argued that the proposed
change would shorten the thorofare
some mile and one-quarter and
would he a great advantage to the
Elk Basin travel inasmuch as this
road is through a section hard to
maintain, and by building a state
road, 1t would serve both the Elk
Basin and Cody-Billings Way travel.
Naturally the people of the Garland
community object to the change
and unless some compromise is
made II is p~roblematical whether
the re-routing will take place.

COMMISSIONERS REFUSE
TO ASK FOR SURVEY
OF NEW PARK ROAD

The Board of county commits
sioners, in session Tuesday and to-
day. have refused to make applica-
ton to the Forest Service for a
survey of the proposed Red Lodge
Cooke City road, branding the pro-
ject as impractical, not feasible and
of no demand at the present time.
The matter was brought to .han
attention when an application was
submitted to them by the Secretary
of Agriculture, through the Depart
ment of Forestry. in which the
commissioners were asked to make
a formal application for a survey
which it has been announced will
be made this summer, the work to
cost in the neighborhood of $17,-
900.
The Red Lodge-Cooke City road
project was before Congress last
winter, and although it had many
influential bureau chiefs behind 1t.
failed to secure the appropriation.
However, Immediately after the ad-
journment of Congress announce
ment came from Washington that a
survey of the new road would be
made, and that SIT 1000 would be
made available for the
Evidently the officials in Washing
ton are endeavoring to seek some
justification for their action and
have asked the commissioners of
Park county, Wyoming for their
approval and endorsement of the
project.
Wyoming has beer very out
spoken regarding the building uf
this road over the Beartooth noun
tains, which will cost much more
than a million dollars to complete.
and when finished will serve as a
dude" highway less than sixty
days of the year. 1t would par
allel an already good road into
Yellowstone by less thar forty miles
and use up government funds which
are badly needed for the improve
ment of the other park Entrances.
After a preliminary survey of the
road two years ago by District For
estry office, the project was DEEM
ed most impractical. and SO report
ed to the Secretary of Agriculture.
Just what pressure is behind the
move to complete the road is mucI,
a mystery to Wyoming people, who
feel that they are justly interested
inasmuch as at least t%wo-thirds of
this highway would be within the
boundaries of this state.

Superintendent Adam Major of

that he has but recently received
90 200 Rainbow trout eggs from
the Federal hatchery at Saratoga,
Wyoming. which have been set at
the local plant.
MIR. Major and A. j. Martin, PARK
%county's member of the Fish and
Game commission, made a trip to
the Hyattville hatchery on Sunday
and met with Bliss Bayne, discus
sing matters relative to the dis
tribution of fish. and also the ad-
visibility of opening the Big Horn

tin was well pleased with conditions
as he found them at Hyattville

CLOSE NORTHFORK TO
FISHING SKULL BRIDGE

Tex Kennedy announces that the
Northfork river. two hundred yards
each way from the Shull bridge.
has been closed to fishing. and he
duly posted same last week. At this
place the ranchers on upper North
fork have their headgates for lirri-
CATION water, and with a small
apron dam constructed at that
place for the trout to gather. as
they head up the river to spawn.
Some splendid catches have been
made at this place during the past
week, and in the interest of fish
propagation. it has been deemed
wise to close this short stretch on
the river. The decision to close
the river at hat place to fishing
was authorized by the Game and
Fish Commissioner.

SCHOOL DISTRICT MEET
ING HELD JUNE 10Th

Working under new piece of
legislation which was enacted at
the last session of the Wyoming
Legislature, the annual school
board meeting will be held on the
afternoon of June goth, in the
auditorium at the high school, at
which time two new trustees will be
selected to sit on the board, as well
as h voting of the levies for the
carrying on of the regular school
affairs another year.
The annual school board meet
ing is an event all the patrons of
the school. and especially the tax
payers of the district school take
an interest in. A very large part
of the tax dollars is administrated
by the school board, and the annual
report of the secretary and the
treasurer is always of interest. The
two trustees whose terms will ex-
pire in June are c. j. Siggins and
Mrs. John F. Cook.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
ALLOW BOUNTIES FOR
As COYOTE PUPS

The county commissioners, at the
June meeting allowed bounties for
forty-five coyote pups, said bounty
being $500 for each pup, which
money is reimbursed to the county
by the state. Billie Adams OF
Sunshine brought in thirty-two of
the forty-five pups.
The legislation under which the
bounty is paid was passed at the
last legislature, and was put thru
in an endeayor to encourage the ex-
termination of the coyote. The
average trapper, who traps for the
pelts alone will not take coyotes at
this time of the year when the fur
is worthless, and neither will he
work to kill or capture any of the
pups. The new bounty law, where
by the same price is paid for the
pups as for the grown coyote,
it is thought will be quite practical
and will encourage ranchers to raid
the dens which they know exist
for the revenue paid.

MANY TREES DYING In
CODY AND NEARBY TOWNS

Probably n of the greatest
calamities which has befa1len the
town of Cody in many a day is
the fact thai so many of the beau
tiful shade trees are dying off this
spring. There is hardly a residence
with any number of trees which is
not losing n or more, and in
every instance. the trees dying are
the Poplar variety, planted here
about -eni or twelve years ago. The
e at the court house are suf-
fering heavily.
Many theories have been advanc-
ed as the cause of the death of the
trees. n being that the soil has
not the proper qualities. another
that the trees have starved the soil
to the point where It will take
care. of them no longer. and still
another that the trees received in
sufficient water the past season.
1t is the opinion of many well in
formed, that the trees were killed
by the early frost last fall. or by
a disease, inasmuch as they r dy-
ing all over the town, regardless
OF the depth of the soil. and also
IN many of the adjacent towns.
Certain it is that everyone is
interested, and will welcome a
remedy which will save those which
nave not altogether died.
