President Calvin Coolidge to Visit Cody
Would Arrive in Cody
Friday, August 10Th
Under Present Plan

There seems to be consider
able foundation for the rumor
that President Coolidge is PLAN
ming a trip to Yellowstone Ma
tional Park and in doing so will
either enter the park or exit
via the Cody entrance.
There has been some talk at
the Summer White House for
several weeks regarding the
possibility of the President.
making a tour of the greatest
of all national parks, The Vel
lowstone, while in the West, and
things seemed to be reaching
a head at the present time.
A group of railway men Wis
tied Rapid City last week and
presented a railroad plan for
the Presidents trip. The trip
as planned will take President
Coolidge through Billings, Mon
tana, en- route to the Park, and
will most likely provide for his
leaving. the Park through Buff
falo Bills town.
If the trip is made as now
planned the President will en-
ter the Park next Sunday, and
after several days there will
come out the Cody way on
Friday of next week.

CREYBULL VALLEY IRRIGA-.
TON OFFICERS RETIRE
Settlement Reached OF Old Judg-
ment and District to be Dissolv-
ed-One 2 $4,000 Suit Pending

The designations Of F. N. Pearson
and George S. Mailer were tender
ed and accepted at a meeting of
the Greybull Irrigation district Of
ficers held at Basin, on Monday the
same day in which the legal pro-
ceedings were to have been started
to remove the two men from the
districts official board. Judge
Cromer of the Eighth Judicial Dist
rict had arrived to hear the case,
and every preparation had been
made to legally Dust the two ex-
directors.
The controversy bringing on the
legal action developed last yea at
the annual meeting of the Grey
bull Irrigation District. A ma
jority OF the stockholders had de-
cided definitely against further adj
min~istration of their affairs by
these men. because Of their attitude
to proceed with the building Of
the big reservoir on the upper
Greybull whether or no.
At the meeting held at Burling-
ton, Messrs. Pearson and Mailer re-
fused to participate. and later In
the day held a meeting OF their
own, at which time they were again
out voted. However they refused
to relinquish their offices. threat
to hold on until their cause
had been aired in court. and a
judicial ruling received.
Pay Judgment
Another piece of business which
has been cleared up by the new di-
rectors of The district is the settle
ment OF a $40, 500 judgment which
had been approved by the former
board. The new board, admitting
the responsibility of a part of the
claims. settled for $35.500. or saw
ing the ranchers under the district
a total of $5,30O.0O.
The only additional claims against
the district is one of James True,
former state engineer, who claims
unearned profits by reason of fall
ure of the irrigation project to so
through, of s25.000.00. This ac-
ton will probably be disposed of
within the next few months. and
petitions are being circulated for
the dissolution of the district, 1t
being planned to hold the election
at the same time as the general
election in the fall Of 1928.
Ernest J. Goppert who is attorney
FOR the Greybull Valley Irrigation
district made a trip to Basin on
Monday to attend the meeting and
take care OF the legal business OF
the district.

MARYLAND City, 1t was claimed.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that the plan would probably result
in an increase in the taxes of several
of the smaller incorporated towns and
the unincorporated communities at
the start. while it would bring about
a reduction in the larger Incorporated
towns. such as Hyattsville. whose
town tax is 55 cents, or ID cents
above the average of 40 per cent. The
tax of the smallest incorporated towns
ranges as low as 25 cents. 1t is claim
ed by many advocates of the plan.
however, that a great saving would
result from consolidation of the gov
ernments of all the towns into one
city, and that the fear of greatly in
creased taxes would never be realized.
Estimates of Cost.
Tentative estimates of the cost of
running the proposed new city were
made at last nights meeting. EXclu-
sive of new projects, the maintenance
of a health department, the erection
of city hall. administrative expenses
Of a minor character and incidentals,
it was estimated that the city might
be run for about $350.000 a year.
which would leave S150,000 of the esti-
mated revenue for extras" This was
stated to be a very rough estimate
and the committee will invite Sugges-
tions and corrections in the figures.
They will be embodied in n tentative
report which Chairman Owens will
make at the next meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce November /.
The cost of the proposed city was
estimated on the basis of a govern
ment to be presided over by city
manager. at a salary Of $4,000, and a
council whose members would receive
salaries aggregating S2,500 a year. 1t
was proposed to spend annually $4,000
for a city treasurer, $4,000 for a clerk,
S5 900 for a corporation counsel, $25,-
600 for a police force. $4,000 for a
fire department, $500 for garbage
collection and disposal, $4,000 for
school superintendent, about $4,000
for maintenance Of schools and to
take care of bonded Indebtedness, and
approximately 100000 for mainte
nance of streets and roads.

Simonich, Of Butte, Mont.
Pete entered, cocky and full Of
confidence. But before the show
was over he was trying to figure
out whether this lad from the wide
open spaces was a human being or
a mountain cougar in disguise.
Joe slapped Pete with every.
thing In the catalog of fistiana.
But he could not knock him
out. That much must be said
in favor Of Pete. The bout was
at catchweights and Latzo's
title Was not at stake.
Pete showed little to indicate to
the 5000 fans who paid upwards
of $4,000 to see the mill, that he
was a great champion. Simonich
won eight Of the ten rounds, one
was even and one went to Pete
by a shade. 1t was the tenth,
Latzo's best round.
