cause since then he has “went” and
“earned” again. Mr. Finch operates
the Elevator at heyenne.

Stampede.
“Dooley” is a very’ goodnatured per- ;
son. The other morning we walked
into his apartments with a bill for <
advertising to present, and alar, and j
alack he was stiil in bed. We
ed to beat a hasty retreat, but Mr. i
Avdis quietly reached beneath his ;
pillow, produced a check and a pencil, ■
fixed everything O. K. and disap

ry endurance tests.
Percy C. Spencer, formerly editor
of the Enterprise, (one ci our prede
voasuib - sot* -ditoria* “we”), has
opened a law office in Cheyenne, with
a big desk ink well, pens, dictionary,
telephone an’ everything in the First
National Bank building. He is a son
of Mrs. Hud Darrah, and needless to
say, as he has opened law offices, he
will practise law.
Our friend "Pontoon Johnny” was
in from the Cedar Ridge coal mine
on Saturday with more money that
we have seen for a long time —he left
two bucks for a year’s subscription.
Watch us grow! Pontoon Johnny
says that his mine is doing a land of
fice business, with more orders from
Germania Bench than he can fill
owing to the difficulty of getting good
miners. v ~i

bakered himself and friends to Grey
bull for the Elks* Installation, supple
mented his vacation with a trip to
Thermopolis where he and his friends
Al Me Clenahan, Bill Leatherman
and Joe Jones, splashed and cavorted

months. A bay horse, weighing 1400
pounds and purchased at the Schauer

Little. The horse was taken up
South Fork directly after the auction,
but jumped a fence and returned to
his former stamping ground. Very
liberal terms to save inconvenience
of transporting again up the river.
Mfr. Wm. L. Simpson had rather
amusing experiences in Billings last
week when she was repeatedly mis
taken for Mme. Schumann-Heink. It i
seems she had the same kind of a cos
tume on one day as the noted singer, 1
and despite insistent denials, was
aubjacted to all sore, of interviews,
and had her picture snapped many
times by ardent newspaper photo
graphers and movie men.
Finley goodman, who runs the Ford
Service Station at Powell, flivvered |
over in one of Harry Thurston’s dash
ing runabouts last week to see old
Cody friends. Mr. Thurston who
owns the Ford Service Station here,
also owns the one at Powell, which
reminds us that we left a pencil in
his office the other day when he was
kind enough to give us an ad.
H. A. Thurston, Cody’s famous mil
ler has been visiting at his home in
Meeteetse, and while there has ’been
quite ill. He will b forced to be ab
sent from the Cody Mill for at least
a week, but fortunately there are
about four car loads of flour on hand
at present, with Bill Hogg and other
able representatives of the Cody Mill
in attendance to wait on those seek
ing mill products.
There was a wedding on Saturday
evening—the guilty ones being one
Barnie Blackstone a ranchman of
Burlington, and Miss Jesse Gentner of
Cody who has recently been teaching
school at Burlington. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. D. R. Blaske
at Christ Episcopal Rectory, and the
bride was given away by her father.
Mr. George Gentner, who was present
with Mrs. Gentner. Good luck Barnie
and Jesse!
Mike MHIe, who runs the White
Luncb, always has a customer in his
restaurant. The other night there
didn’t seem to be anyone there but
Mike, but we eaw him walk around In
front of the lunch counter and ask
Rome imaginary cook to give his a
couple of steaks. Mike then shimmi
ed around behind the counter, slipped
on a white apron, and cooked the
steaks. He then took off the apron,
put on his hat and walked to the
front of the counter again where he
devoured the steaks.
A. C. Newton who has recently re
turned from a visit to California and
| Chicago, and who motored last Fall to
! California with Frank Thompson, de
• scribes the new Black Foot Trail very
>; favorably and says that very soon,
i when it is all completed, we shall be
. within five days motoring distance
from Los Angeles. The road goes out
through the Park and thence down to
Salt Lake City, continuing on through
Western Utah and the southern part
i of Nevada and crossing the north
western corner of Arizona where‘it
; is known as the Arrow Trail, and
shortly connects with the Lincoln
Highway about twenty miles west of
the Needles.
Other arrivals at the Chamberlin
’ and Irma combined include B. W.

Bill Borron whe returned Friday
i from his Eastern excursion in the in
j terests of his dude business, reports
j that he has signed a contract to take
at least twenty Kansas City boys on
; a pack trip during the coming sum
mer. They will arrive in time for
‘ Miss Lockhart’s Stampede on or about
the fourth of July. Bill had a great
, time back East, and says that he
learned not to keep his coffee spoon
in his cup and a lot more. All Cody
I is glad to hear that Bill has started
■ off so favorably and wish him the best
'[ of luck in his new business. He left
1 Cody, or at least said he was going
to, on Wednesday for the Bar T
Ranch on North Fork.
The contractors w’ho started work
on the new hotel at the depot are to
be congratulated for the good spirit
they have shown by purchasing as
much as posible of our local products
instead of shipping in large quanti
ties of supplies from the outside
world. Messrs. Joe Freeborg and
Charles Blaine have the contract for
the gravel and sand hauling. Th
grave! is being taken from the pit on
the hill just above the pump house
and the sand, which is the same as
was used in our new school building,
is being taken from the Cody Canal
tunnel near the Greenwald place.
The contractors who are incidentally
furnishing lots of worl? for Cody’s ar
my of unemployed, are Jacoby & Sons
of Billings, with the plumbing in- the
hands of a Denver firm.
Jay Blood of South Fork was among
those present at the Lampitt trial in

SHEEP WORE THEIR WOOL
IN THE MORNING; OWNER;
WORE IT THAT NIGHT
Sir Richard Throckmorton is the I
possessor of a coat the like of which
is perhaps unknown. It was made
for his great-uncle 110 years ago. At .
5 o’clock in the morning of June 28th
the wool was shorn from the back of
two Southdown sheep: at 6:15 o’clock
in the evening Sir Richrad’s great
uncle was sitting down to dinner in a
coat made from that w.ool. The wool
in less than fourteen hours, had been
washed, carded, stubbed, roven, spun,|
and woven into cloth which in turn
was scoured, pulled, tented, raiesd,
sheared, dyed, and dressed. The tai
lors set to work and made up the [
finished damson colored cloth with'
such rapidity that great-uncle John |
received the coat from their hands at
fifteen minutes after six.—Christian !

Park Roads Built For
People Says Owens
(Continued from page one)
not be legally or morally transferred
by or to anyone. A public road is
not subject to monopolization, but
the Park Service people ignore the
rights of the people and give these
monopolies to whom they choose and
exclude all others.
In July, 1920, I wrote to Mr. H. M.
Albright, superintendent of Yellow*-
stone National Park, for permission
to take a party through the Park. Th ( e
party was to consist of a relative, a
friend, and their friends. There was
to be eight of us and I informed Mr.
Albright that I did not intend to fin
ance this trip, but that I expected pay
for my service. The following is Mr.
Albright’s reply, which speaks for
itself.
“Mr. W- S. Owens,
Co'dy, Wyoming.
Dear Mr. Owens:
Replying to your letter of July 26, I
am sorry to have to advise you that
I cannot approve of the trip you men
tion. Under Park rules and regula
tions all Park automobile tourists
who do not have their own means of
transportation must be carried by
the Yellowstone Transportation Com
pany. Sincerely yours,
HORACE M. ALBRIGHT,
A. C. W. Superintendant.”
So, dear reader, you can see by Mr.
Albright’s reply that if you are with- !
out your own conveyance it is com-:
pulsory that you ride with the Yel
lowstone Transportation Company or
remain at home. Is this a political
machine? For my part there is not
the least question of doubt. Let us
hope that this may be stopped, that
travelers may be protected and the
rights of local people safeguarded. I
suggest this remedy:
Any reliable individual or transpor
tation company, reliable by being
property owner, or by the giving of
bonds, should be allowed to haul pas
sengers through any National Park by
complying with traffic regulations of
the Park.
Here, in the summer of 1919 and
1920, I entered the auto livery busi
ness for two reasons: that of having
outdoor work and of making the busi
ness a financial success. I procured
a license from the United States reve
nue collector which gave me authority
to haul passengers, but was Informed
by Park officials that a United States
license tor such a business was no
rood in our National Parks. Think
this over a little—and we live in the
United States of America!
Had I been allowed to haul p.issen
genr through the Park the business
would have been a success financially.
And every dollar that I, or any oth
°r Cody man is the livery business
would make would be spent in our
home town —Cody.
Now, my dear Cody People, what
are we going to do? Boost for the
Yellowstr- Transportation Company,
build r r them, put forth our
best effo. vo .u make their business a
success for which we get nothing in
return, or are we going to boost for
Cody, and our rights—fight for that
which is our own? I want to declare
myself right here as not being a paid
booster for any transportation mon
opoly or any other kind of a monop
oly. I am, though, a booster for the
town in which I live, and I am proud
to say that town is Cody, Wyoming.

will read thus: “To the United States

take appropriate steps to require the
