STARK IN BRAINSTORM
GETS KNOCKOUT BLOW
Howard Starr was the aggressor
in an assault on Veron Spencer Fri
day afternoon and after the second
attempt was pretty well knocked
out. The voting man claimed to his
friends that he knew nothing about
the encounter. He was arrested un
der a criminal warrant and sent to
Casper to be examined by the Vet
eran’s bureau with a prospect that
he will be committed to the Vet
eran’s hospital at Sheridan for treat
ment. Starr figured in the last
term of court when he held Spencer
up and took S4O which he claimed
had been taken from him in a card
game.
NO MONEY CHANGES
HANDS IN HOLD-UP
Nate Arnold ran onto a thriller
Monday night when a masked fig
ure stepped from behind the Hind
man barn on Fourth street and
told him to “stick 'em up.” It
was about ten o’clock and this high
school boy wasn’t slow in the ele
vation. Search of his clothes prov
ed to be in vain from a monetary
standpoint and the young man was
told to “beat it“ which it Is said
he did the hundred yard dash in a
manner to qualify him for Track this
spring. No clue was had of the
would-be highwayman.

schools of the state. The Big Horn

northern will comprise the towns of
Buffalo, Gillette, Newcastle, Sheri

southern will take in Laramie, Cas
per, Douglas, Cheyenne, Rock ,
| Springs, Rawlins, Green River, Kem
merer and Superior. The Central
division includes Riverton, Glenrock, 1
Lusk, Wheatland, Guernsey, Linglel
land Tofrlngton.
Under the plan each eleven play
at least five conference games dur
ing the regular season. The winners
of the Big Horn basin conference I
will play the northern section. Cen-|
, tral and southern divisions will
fight it out at the same time. The
semi-final elimination will be held
on Armistice day or the third Sat
urday In November and the finals
on Thanksgiving day.
Control of all matters of contro
versy is placed in a board composed
of the executive members named at
the conference in Laramie, who in
turn becomes the presidents of the
several conferences. F. L. McNown
of Basin is the representative of tne
Big Horn basin. It is anticipated
that this organization will expand
to include all high school athletics.
A number of minor details remain
to be Ironed out before the chill
days when the pigskins begin to
roll again but it is believed that the
plan as given above will be the
foundation for future athletic con- m
tests.

CODY HIGH GIRLS’ TEAM
CAGE CHAMPS OF BASIN
Cody basket ball girls claim the
championship of the Big Horn ba-!
'sin and the whole world for that
matter for they have taken to ser
ious defeat every aggregation that
has attempted to play them and
have not lost a single game. While
modest in her claims for the girls,
Miss Josephine Kollmyer, coach, be
lleves the Cody hi has an unusual
team of players. Contests with
F’oweli, Basin and Meeteetse gave
opportunity for five games and in
each one they fully controlled the
ball. The team is composed of
Mildred and Margaret Dempster,
Carla Wagar. Margaret Murray,
Pearl Jones, and Jeanette Slgglns,
with Virginia Culver and Audry
Wilder as substitutes.
A return game is expected from
Meeteetse ns soon as the roads will
permit travel.

New Name Given the Herald
With Change in Ownership
After this issue of the Northern Wyoming Herald the
name which has been carried at the top of the paper for
almost fourteen years will be discarded and the Park County
Herald will take its place. It has been the feeling for many
years that the name “took in too much territory’’ and the
new title would more accurately describe the field covered
by the publication.
With the retirement of L. L. Newton, the last of the
group of founders of the Northern Wyoming Herald gives
way to the new order of things. E. F. Shaw succeeds as
sole owner and manager having purchased Mr. Newton’s in
terest in the partnership. The exact date of the dissolu
tion will be at the close of business March 31st.
As a matter of record it may be interesting to state
that the paper was hurriedly brought into existence near
the close of the 1910 campaign when the late Judge Joseph
Carey bolted the Republican party and became the can
didate on the democratic ticket for governor. Just at that
time the Stockgrower & Farmer was merged into the Cody
Enterprise, then a democratic paper, leaving the Republicans
’ of the county without newspaper representation. Under
the leadership of the late V. G. Lantry, the active republi
cans of the county organized the Northern Wyoming Herald
and the first issue of the paper appeared October 21, 1910,
being printed in Billings.
The paper became a political organ more than a news
paper. It was hand set, four pages of which were “patent”
printed in Denver. Later a secondhand No. 1 Linotype was
bought and the paper was the first in the county to be
equipped with a standard type-casting machine.
Under various managerships it was a success or failure
financially according to the ability of the one in charge
and finally after numerous deficits which had to be met and
a crisis which came in March 1916, which looked as though
the paper was breathing its last, the few remaining of the
group who had "dug” and “dug some more” to keep it alive
decided to turn the paper over to L. L. Newton provided
that when he had paid off the notes and deficit of $4,000
the plant and business would be his. The outfit was badly
run down, inefficient and probably worth less than $1,500.
It was demonstrated fully that a newspaper to be a success
must first be commercial rather than political and while
the paper has always supported the Republican party as a
whole it has made politics a minor issue.
E. F. Shaw, who had been an employee of the Herald
in 1913 joined with Mr. Newton on March 1, 1917, and the
firm of Newton & Shaw came into being. This relationship
has existed for seven years during which time all liabilities
were met and practically every part and parcel of the old
equipment eliminated and new and modern machinery pur
chased to take the place. At this time the Herald plant
is perhaps the most modern and efficient of any in northern
Wyoming.
The success of the Herald has been largely due to the
splendid support given it through the years. The owners
have endeavored to give their best to the community and
are very appreciative of the response and cooperation which
have been theirs. The partnership dissolves solely for the
reason that each member of the firm believes it to be to his
interest and with the feeling that the relationship of so
many years has been a pleasant one.
There will be no material changes in the policy of the
Herald. It will continue to be a booster for all that is con
structive and progressive in community and public life. It
will not attempt to represent any clique or faction, but take
the broad and liberal position of public welfare, the greatest
good for the greatest number.

APPROPRIATION PASSES HOUSE
FOR ROADS NATIONAL PARKS
Measure Carries $480,000 for Yellowstone and
a Million for Glacier Spread Over
Three Year Period
Roads in Yellowstone park will be greatly improved durinjt
the next three-year period provided the bill appropriating $480,-
000, which passed the House Wednesday, meets the approval of
the Senate. The appropriation carries a million dollars for
Glacier national park.
A movement has been on foot for ,
some time to make the roads in
the national parks of the type of
construction which will be examples!
of road building for the uution at ■
large. Due to the fact that the
: people from all parts of the nation
| visit the national parks it is heliev- 1
led that by building example roads
there the gospel of better highways
will he spread throughout the na
tion by the road boosters who come
i to view and enjoy nature’s beauties,
i The bill carries $7,500,000 and is
' backed by a definite budget pre
pared by the National Bark service
based upon the improvements need
ed in the several parks. The advent
of the auto over the old metal tired
v< hide has made necessary a revo
lution in the plans of road con
struction in the national parks. The
old methods have proven wholly
inadequate and a new system of
highways must be built at once if
the Increasing travel is taken care
of with passable roads.
No announcement has been made
of the plans for Yellowstone but
those who travel it realize that sur
facing of the roads has become nec
essary around the circle and that
the piece-meal method of patching
of the past is wholly inadequate to
meet the needs. A real appropria
tion of a large sum is the only'
