8 VETS CONVERT.
INSURANCE

Nine veterans reinstated or con.
verted $4,000 worth of Government
insurance through the American
Legion's national rehabilitation
committee at the Bond Building
headquarters last night.
This brings the reinstatement to
date up to $4,000. Watson B.
Miller. chairman, is hopeful Of
bringing this figure UP to the
million dollar mark before July Q,
the final date upon which veterans
may convert or reinstate insurance.
The Legion's offices are open
each Monday, wednesday and Fri.
day evening from Z to o'clock. A
corps Of medical and insurance ex.
perts are available to give veterans
whatever aid necessary, reducing
the work to a minimum.
With hardly more than 10 days
remaining, Chairman Miller believes
hundreds of veterans employed
during the day will take advantage
of this opportunity to reinstate or
convert insurance.

MAYNARD EYES

A gymnasium for underdevel-
oped and hayward eyes is one Of the
most interesting features Of the ex.
hibit in the Willard Hotel Of the
American Optometric Association,
meeting here in its thirtieth annual
congress.
The equipment consists Of a small
instrument known Is d myoculator.
It's speciality is dealing with eyes
having Q propensity for turning in
and out and crossing each others
range of vision.
The device was invented by DR..
Harry L. Fuog, of the Los Angeles
College Of Optometry, and has Gre
ated considerable interest in opto-
metric circles. Through its use, 80
per cent Of cures can be effected in
cases Of crossed.eyes, sponsors claim,
while only 36 per cent Of such cases
could be cured under the old meth

The machine directs an image to

Tablet Over Grave of Jack

Supervisor J. N. Langworthy of
the Shoshone Forest left Thursday
morning for the Upper Clarks fork
section, bearing with him a huge
bronze tablet, which will be placed
in stone over the last resting place
of Jack Crandall and his prospector
partner. who in 1870 were killed
in tier camp by a band of warning
Indians. The tablet was the gift
of Miss Caroline Lockhart, well
known Cody authoress. who became
as told by some of the old mining
men of Cooke City a few years
ago.
The tablet carries the following
wording: This is the spot when
about July &. 1870. Jack Crandall
and his partner met their death
at the hands of a war party, while
prospecting for placer gold on the
Clark Fork river and its tributaries.
They were killed in camp while
eating a meal, their heads severed
and stuck on their picks and their
cups placed in front of them. Their
bodies were found a year later by
other prospectors. The bones of
these adventurous spirits lie under
this stone"
Some very interesting stories are
related regarding the exploits of
Jack Crandall on the Upper Clarks
fork in the early days by the old
timers at Cooke City and their adj
ventures appealed strongly to Miss
Lockhart. and she decided to erect
the permanent marker over their
grave. Crandall creek, one of the
larger tributaries of the Ciarks

prospector.

PERMTTTEES MERGE
In ONE PERMIT


Word comes from Basin of the
merging of the interests OF Fred
Frisby, Clyde w. Atherly and Oar
by Hand in Oregon Basin oil field
into one government permit. For
some time the parties holding these
permits have been negotiating with
the Interior department for per-
mission for the merger. The total
lands held by these parties COM
prises about 1865 acres.
This action was taken by the
Basin men to place under one per-
nit sufficient acreage to interest
a large drilling company. and also
to make it possible the holding of
the entire acreage by the drilling
of one. test well. The government
demands a prospect hole to be
drilled within a specified length of
time. and under the new arrange
ment the acreage of all three of
these permits will be protected by
activity on one well.
1t is said that the combined
acreage has been leased to the Pro-
ducers and Refiners corporation and

land involved is in and around the

joining the government withdraw

Judicial District and resulted in a
verdict being returned in favor of
the plaintiff. the decision being bas-
ed upon the Wyoming statute provid

ELECTRIC LINE ASSURED
OREGON BASIN FIELDS
Only Lacking Contract With Rec
lamation Department for Start
ing of Project-Work Would
be Completed i'm 80
Days

According to Paul Stock presi-
dent of the Oil Fields Power Com
pany, who returned Ntom Denver
last week. everything is in readi-
ness for the building of the high
power electric line INTO Oregon
Basin except the final approval of
the contract by Reclamation Of
ficials at Washington, and with the
o. K. of the Powell office super
intendent and the Denver officials,
it is expected that the contract
will receive the approval of the
Washington heads without further
delay.
1t is the plan of the Oil Fields
Power Company to run a transmits
sion line into Oregon Basin at the
earliest possible moment, that the
current may be used for the drill
ing of oil wells there. Several of
the large companies. proposing to
drill are awaiting the building of
the power line that they may equip
with motors rather than steam. Mr..
Stock estimates that it will take
but thirty days to have the line
operative once he receives the con-
tract from the Washington office.
The power to be purchased from
the government is generated at the
hydro-electric line at Shoshone Rec
lamation dam in Shoshone canyon
eight miles west of Cody, Wyoming.
At the present time this power
plant is furnishing current for
lighting purposes at Powell and
many other towns in the Big Horn
Basin, and was primarily built to
furnish power for the building of
the Wildwood project and the oper-
alton of drag lines doing drainage
work on the Shoshone project.
The Oil Fields Power Company
proposes to extend its lines to reach
practically all of the oil fields OF
northern Wyoming. n may be
able to serve as a source of current
supply for many more of the town.

IN company with two others on

drive on the No. 5, 175-yard hole.
Mr.. Huntington is the first Low
ell player to ever make a hole in
one, and so far as known, the first
in the basin. 1t is indeed a a r
accomplishment and one of which
he can feel justly proud. The local
course is considered a quite diff
cult one and very few are able to
play the course In par, or near
that figure. though Lowell boasts
of a number OF good golfers.
