MOTOR CAR SERVICE
HELD UP TEMPORARILY

Agent T. F. King of the Burling-
tor is in receipt of a communica-
tion from the general passenger
agent of the road that the motor
car service which was to be placed
in operation on the Cody branch,
from Frannie to Powell and Cody,
will be unavoidably held up for a
time at least, or until the railroad
can secure an equipment adequate
for the service on this line.
A close check of the business
handled on the Cody branch con-
vinces the operating department of
the Burlington that the car. which
the passenger department had in
mind will be Inadequate, due to the
heavy mail, parcel post and ex-
press which must be handled to
Powell and Cody. Neither was the
heavy enough to handle
a trailer. The Burlington is en-
to locate a larger equip
ment in the east. and as soon as
one is found, or can be construct
ed. it is most certain that it will
be placed in operation on the Cody
line.
At the present time the railroad
is endeavoring to render the best
possible service.

$4,000 PAID OUT TO
TURKEY GROWERS
Largest Shipment of Turkeys Ever
to be Shipped From Local Sta
ton Going Out. Cold Weather
Curtails Shipment

Although the unprecedented cold
spell has placed a damper on the
holiday turkey shipment, already
more than $4,000 have been paid
to local growers and within the
next few days over a car and one
fourth of dressed turkeys will
leave the Cody station. A car car
ries about one hundred and ten
barrels, an average of twenty tur-
keys to the barrel. and it is esti-
mated thai not less than 400
turkeys will be received at the To-
cal station for the holiday ship
ment.
With the cold wave striking Cody
Monday evening, some hurried
change had to be made at the sta
ton, and when the night watchman
reported the temperature going
dow to the danger point. the tur-
keys on hand at that time were all
moved to the Riggs Motor company
to keep them from freezing. A
few fowls were frozen en- route to
the station, but very little loss will
be sustained in the local shipment.
All growers. moi getting in with
their turkeys before the cold spell
we're advised 10 hold them a few
days until the weather moderrtes,
with the result that there are still
many birds in the Ciarks fork and
Meeteetse sections to arrive within
the next week.
The Powell shipment at this time
is said to be about three cars. and
the preparation Of the birds for
market is going on there this week.
Reports from Powell indicate that
a large number OF turkeys froze
there Monday night, which will
place them in second. instead of
Hist class for market.
