MARVELLOUS ELECTRIC
MEAT CUTTER AT
PALACE MARKET

The Palace Market has added to
its modern market equipment the
latest invention in the retail meat
industry a Jim Vaughan" cleo
trio meat cutter. A reporter wit
Messing the demonstration saw a
lloin of pork cut up into ven nice
chops in about forty five seconds.
The advantages as explained by Mr..
Larson to our reporter are evident
ly very many, such as:
The steaks and chops are abso-
lutely uniform and of ever thick
ness SO they cook better nd even
ly.
There are no bone splinters on
the steaks. chops, stew meats, soup
meats or the bones.
Electric meat cutting involves
practically no handling of meats
and is therefore strictly sanitary.
Steaks and chops will fry in
their own suet as the meat may
be cut so as to cover it with a fine
film of it's own fat, a very fine and
superior cooking medium. +
We are able to serve the trade
better and quicker and conduct
business on the most economical
basis so that quality meats can
be sold at the lowest possible
prices.

BALL TO BE HELD AT
TEMPLE FRIDAY MITE

The Cody Fire Departments an
tnual masquerade ball is to be held
on Friday evening of this week
at the Temple. and. as in past years,
is to be made a most unusual event.
The Firemen have always proven
themselves to be real entertainers,
and the preparations which are
being made this year assure this
years dance of a big success.
Cash prizes will be given to six
masked dancers on the floor. They
will be divided as follows: Two
prizes for the most characteristic
costumes; two prizes for the most
elaborate costumes and two prizes
for the best comics.
Gene Dobins and his gang had
been secured to furnish the music.
but owing to the quarantine in
effect in Big Horn county. these
poppy musicians can not come to
Cody at this time. However the
Melodians from Red Lodge will be
on the job and are rated as a
high class orchestra.
The Firemen's dance is the only
event staged during the year by
the Cody department, and the boys
are very grateful and appreciative
of such support as may be given
them by the businessmen of the
town. Their association as a vol
unteer fire department Is n for
community service, and that their
work is well done is evidenced by
The manner In which they handled
the few fires which the town has
suffered.
Buy one ticket or a half dozen
to their dance. 1t may be your
home or your store to which they
will be called next.

VALLEY CANAL
COMPANY ELECT OFFICERS
Annual Reports Shows Company in
Good Condition Financially
And Substantial Increase
in Acreage Cropped

The Fertile Valley Canal COM
pany held its annual meeting at
the court house, in Cody. December
goth, at which time the following
men were chosen to handle the
affairs of the company for the
ensuing year: E. NJ. Ballenger,
president, Jack Dietrich. vice presi-
dent; Ernest J. Goppert, secretary
and treasurer; A. E. Nelson. Frank
Wilson and A. j. Martin, directors.
The inspection committee is COM
posed of R. H. Looney, Bart Haffey
and Fred McJunkin.
The presidents letter written at
the close of the fiscal year shows
that the Fertile Valley Canal COM
pany is in a very healthy condition
financially, that more than $500
acres were cropped during the past
year with very good returns except
where a destructive hail fell, and
that the ditch during the past sea-
son has carried a larger head of
water than 1t has at any time since
its construction.
The Board OF Directors are. very
hopeful of having successfully solv-
ed the ditch problem, and although
1t anticipates more or less heavy
construction expense for several
years, ultimately the company will
have a good and practical irriea-
ton canal capable of carrying n
sufficient head of water to irrigate
the entire acreage under the Lake
view project.
Some legal questions are being
ironed out each year with regard
to the legality of collection of as-
sessments from those owning land
not now operated. and 1t is cry
evident with the upward trend of
prices for agricultural products.
that the Fertile Valley will come
into its own, and take its place as
one of the successful projects of
the Big Horn Basin.
Great credit is due to the hardy
farmers of the Fertile Valley pro-
ject who havet labored for several
years to make their company a
growing and prosperous concern
Many disappointments have been
faced, and it has taken an amount
of real grit to Garry on. Today
there is an ever increasing demand
for land On the project, and with
more and more acres being TILED
each season. Nowhere can better
crops be grown under proper con-
Iditions than in Fertile Valley. and
the outlook in future years is most
pronising..

Severe Measures
CONTINUED From Page 5)

be of he was elected president
he answered.: "My policies are
already known. But l shall try
to correct old mistakes-and per-
haps make new ones"
His policy toward the United
States will be to respect the rights
of Americans in Mexico and ex-
pect that he rights of Mexicans
will also be respected. The inter-
viewer reminded him of the fam
Gus distum of Benito Juarez, GEL
respeto por ell derecho ajeno es
la paz" (Respect for other peo-
pies right means peace) to which
principle he expressed adherence,
adding jocularly: "But Juarez
didn't have peace"
Adverting to internal matters
tnat will receive his attention
when he is president, he said that
the labor insurance would be an
important topic. He defined this
to be broader measure than that
in vogue in the United States. in
that the Mexican federal govern
ment will look after the interests
of the laboring man.
At the same time, capital will
be protected, he added, SO that
the entire nation may prosper.
"Tell the people of the United
States that l extend to them ex-
pressions of good feeling and
good-fellowship,' he said.
Referring to the rebels, he said
that on October 2 he and six men
were at his home at 1856 Gale ia
lisco, Mexico City, and a certain
garrison of the capital rose in re-
volt, only 3 kilometers away.
why didn't they come after me ?"
he asked, rhetorically. "Be-
cause they only rose up to run.
They could have run without ris-
ing against the government"
1.-THE present movement lacks
popular support, and without
popular support no revolution can
succeed. "On April 13, 1920, I
left Mexico City alone, hidden in
an express car. On May 7, 1920,
returned at the head Of $4,000"
He said that the plot to assas-
sinate him about a month ago
was a definite and established
fact.

Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-11-18

this county, together with other own
ers Of grazing land, brought an action
to enjoin the board cf supervisors
from carrying out the oreer of the
state tax commission and raising the
valuation from So t5 So per acre.
The superior court issued a temporary
restraining order against the board
of supervisors and the state TAX COM
mission INTERVIEWED and was made
party to the action and thereafter
brought an action i'll certiorari in
the supreme court of the state in
which they asked that the temporary
restraining order be dismissed OH the
ground that the orders of the state
tax commission could not be reviewed
by the courts. In other words, that
the orders of the state tax commits
sion were conclusive and final, and
that the commission was the sole
judge of valuations Of property in
the state for taxation purposes. The
supreme court dismissed the proceed
ings in certiorari and left the matter
to be determined by the superior
court of this county A demurrer
was then filed by the state tax COM
mission to the complaint Of the tax
payers, which was overruled and
judgment was entered by the superior
court in fsNor of the taxpayers
from which judgment the state tax
commission appealed to- the supreme
court and the supreme court affirmed
the decision of the superior court
and held that the valuation of So
per acre should stand as the valua-
ton on which taxes should be >levied
on grazing lands in Cochise county.
"The decision of the supreme court
affects 100000 acres of grazing and
