WHAT CODY FOLK
DID 25 YEARS AGO
Shoshone Valley Rews First
Newspaper Here Publishes
Happenings April 8,1897
Mrs. Julia Goodman has a copy of
the first newspaper published in Cody.
It is called the Shoshone Valley News
and is about the size of a program.
The date is April e, 1897. The editors
were Mrs. Goodman’s son, E. Good
man, and a man named Gilette.
Uncle George Russell is one of its
advertisers, and Uncle George tells
the world that he is a contractor and
builder., whom it would be well to see
immediately.

urges the sheep men to come and buy
their twine, wool sacks, shears and
sheep hooks at his emporium.
The Shoshone Mine on Sage Creek
at Otto Crossing will exchange coal
for oats or sell it at the mine for >1.50
a ton.
Mrs. Chas. Trego declares in large
type that the accommodations at HO
TEL DE TREGO are the best in the
city.
W. P. Webster announces that he
deals in clocks, watches and jewelry
and does all kinds of repair work.
The News says ambiguously of its
job work that it is “Out of Sight.”
Joseph Vogel publishes the fact that
he is a shoemaker and will repair
boots neatly and promptly and guar
antee satisfaction.
According to the Shoshone Valley
News, twenty-five years ago . this
month C. E. Hayden returned from
Parkman and expected Mrs. Hayden
to join him in about three weeks.
Miss Daisy Sorenson, type-writer
for the Shoshone Land and Irrigation
Co., returned to Cody after an absence
of three months and all her friends
were pleased to see her back again.
Hon. George T. Beck, general man
ager for the Shoshone and Irri
gation Co., came <n from the East on
Monday and reported extremely “Close
times. He stated that he was glad to
j return and once more be at home in
i Cody.
Messrs. Hank and John Chapman
I of Clark, Wyo., were in town on Sat
| urday night on business connected
; with the building of a telephone line
from Cody to Red Lodge. The gentle
men spoke highly of Cody and were
confident that its future was to be a
bright one. o
Col. Cody was chosen a member of
the General Marshal’s staff for the
j Grant Memorial Dedication Day exer
cises tn New York City, April 27, and
1 the day had been inade a legal holiday
in the state of New York.
The return of Hon. Geo. T. Beck
was the signal to start work upon the
Cody canal. Many settlers had con
tracted for land under the ditch and
the promoters were confident that
more than 10,000 acres would be dis
posed of to prosperous and enterpris
ing settlers before the year closed.
Cody was soon to have a large mer
cantile store and also a hardware and
implement house. The city was bound
to flourish and make the best town in
northwest Wyoming.
The News also informed its readers
that Spain was withdrawing her
troops from Cuba.
CHANGE OF SENTIMENT
TOWARD DRY LAW
(Continued from Page 1)
Some of the high lights in the rep
resentative answers received were an
| follows:
From Fountain City, Tenn.: “I have
| taken the time to ask ten officers of
the law in this county their opinions,
and every one of them believes that
vastly more liquor is being made and
consumed than before 'Prohibition.*
We have had a wave of crime such as
has never before been known. It will
take a force of 2,000 paid officers of
j the law to keep liquor out of Knox
j ville.”
A college student who has worked
1 both as a drug clerk and as a teacher
in three Wisconsin cities writes: “It
has been the cry of the Volsteadites
that the younger generation is being
saved. The man who says that has
his head in the sand. Boys of four
teen or fifteen are getting ‘moon’ over
the bar In soft drink parlors, former
saloons, lunch counters and a dezen
other joints. Young girls come to the
soda-fountain cabarets, drink ‘white
mule,’ dance and go home at 1 to 3
a. m. with obscene-minded young
sports. We are doing what we can
to stop this thing in our scho6ls, but
| instead of public support we find ap
athy or amused tolerance.”
From Colorado: “The manufacture
of beer, wine and liquors is now done
in innumerable instances in the home
directly under the eyes of the young-
Dters, in such away that it not only
brings it closer, to them In substance,
but It breeds In their young hearts a
positive disregard for laws in gen
eral.”
From California: "People are rap
idly losing all respect for law and
crime is Increasing. Everyone is" learn
ing new methods of making liquor,
and at the rale we are traveling, it is
only a question of a few years until
we will be a nation of booze-making
outlaw®.” _ 1 . I
Mr. Adams sums up his digest of
the nation’s opinion in words which
may be at once startling and enlight
ening to those who regard their own
ultra-pious opinions as final and con
clusive. He says:
“It is impossible for any candid
mind, analyzing the letters, to escape
the conviction that, ’broadly speaking,
there has been a significant change in
the last year; that, whatever the com
parison between pre-Prohibition and
nost-Prohibition bulk drinking, liquor
in the second year of the experiment
has been more plentiful, cheaper, and
less risky to handle romme.clally or
to take internally, than in the first
year. One intelligent observer makes
an interesting point in stating that
people within his ken may be drinking
less in total than they did in the ‘wet’
days, but they arq certainly drinking
more at a time.
"There is more booze In the land
and it is cheaper and more varied In
tvpe. Home brewing and distilling
has vastly increased.”
“From the whole purport of the va
ried correspondence, it is obvious that
the end Is not yet; that ni solution li
definitely in sight. He would indeed
be a daring prophet who should un
dertake to forecast conditions five or
even two years ahead. But the weight

He is a man who never tires,
His rivals all were men of grit,
But they didn't have the nerve to sit

And the power to hyptonlze.

Like a stranger at the gates
That all earthly joys are given
And all blessings sent from Heaves,
And we hope and trust and pray
That every kind of blessing may
Be showered upon this loving pair
