Art Rumor* Os Local Monty** In

Contidaration Theta Will However
Leave The Creditor* Unprotected.
A* the Aral of July, La* date act
for the final disposition of the con
tractu toucb’ng the Orocon Baa Id
Project, approaches internet In the
rattter Increase*. In order to preaent
the situation as It is Tha Herald called
upon E. J. Sull.an at hla office
who la the able and active represent
ative of the financial group back of
the Oregon Basin Project and asked
that centleman what waa hla beat
judgment on and Information at thia
time as to the outlook for a success
fr! closing on July 1, of the contracts
and for the actual commencement of
the work of construction of the big
ditch.
Mr Sullivan gladly submitted to tb*
lutei view and said: .
The [x.rti*a financing lb* Oregon
Basin project have mat an obstacle
In erf J.-(MRHI» Oaapa(r
and It la poaslbl* that It will defeat
the preaent financial setup The orlff-
Iral receiver of the Btg Horn Basin
Dr-elopment Company Invited the en
gineering firm of J. O. White and
Company of New York to make a re
port on the prelect. The report Indi
cated that the White Company did not .
take kindly to the project and la their
report they ahow Insufficient water to!
reclaim the land under the project and
a coat of approximately $14.00 per
acre to complete. The two Items make
the proposition unattractive to finan
cier* and la hard to overcome In deal
ing with the financial people. The
present syndicate were able to handle
the matter rerardlesa of the White
report nntll within a few days. The
date set by the State Board of Lead!
Commissioners for the preaent syndi
cate to appear and make deposit of
earnest money la July lit. They will
not, In my judgment, be able to make
arrangements to appear before the
Bourd In that time. At the meeting
of the Board of Land Commletsonera
Jnne let, the Chairman stated that tho
extension granted to July Ist was the
last that would be granted. The mat
ter therefore will end on that date,
that la to ay. the contract made with
Rtrons and Mechaio representing the
Wycifling Oregon Basin Com puny, and
which waa not delivered because of
failure to make deposit within the
time extended, would be cancelled.
The Wyoming Oregon Baaln Company
hr.d agreed to pay the Wyoming cred
itor* and the cancellation of the con
tract will leave the creditors unpro
tected at thl* time This new condi
tion should not be taken as a failure
to finance the Oregon Banin project;
it Is' merely one of the delays. My
Judgment !* that the best Interenta 01
nil will be served by the cancellation
of the Strong and Meehan contract
There are rumors of local Interests
financing the project. This will give
everybody a chance to work to that

"Governor Carey, the people of the

succeed Senator Francis E Warren.

This is the question put up to Wyo
ming’s governor by the editor of The
Herald on Wednesday evening after
the executive had given out an Inter
view to The Herald.
Governor Carey has a habit of let
ting hla aye lids droop, at times over
the keen steel blue grey iris of his
eyes and before replying to the above
query by The Herald editor, he cum
talned the windows of his soul for
a fleeting space of time, straightened
up and said: "I am not."
"But. Governor, the people absolutt
believe you are and I wish you would
make It as strong as you can.”
"You may say that I have had
enough of Washington. 1 have been a
United States senator from Wyoming.
1 would no* accept another term.”

"I would not take It even than. I
would not accept the aenatorshlp upon
a silver platter.”
“Then The Herald may say that you
are under no circumstances a candi
date for the seat of Pan a tor Warrea.
and that you wish to complete your
present term at governor.”
"Yes, I have h work to do aa gover
nor and I wish to finish It”
But for the drooping of the lids,
which gives him the appearance of
searching ones very soul the denial
to most persona would carry, convic
tion that Governor Carey mesas what
he says. Does he?
Time alone will reveal.
‘‘How do you find the state Institu
tions you are inspecting? waa the next
question.
‘‘Really, I do care to go Into that.’
What waa the governor afraid of?
Did he fear to say they were never
run better?
Governor Carey waa just leaving the
dining room of the Irma when The
Herald editor met him and asked him

carried by the Cody Annex has been

Son.
Mr. Pfaff, Sr., who cams to Cody
about two weeks since waa much im
pressed with the business opportuni
ties here in Cody and began negotia
tions with Mr. Schwoob for the pur
chase of the Cody Annex and the same
wore concluded on Monday.
He has had thirty years experience
in the furniture business and In di
recting of funerals. For many, years
he has been a successful merchant
In Sigourney. lowa, and brings to his
enterprise in Cody a keen, commercial
and financial ability and will prove
to be a most valuable addition to the
fine bunch of man that are making
Cody the best town In the Big Horn
Basin.
Leo Pfaff, who Is the junior member

The Herald wishes a message from
yo* tor the people of Park county.”
Well, you may say that I came at
UMtequsst of Secretary of State Houx
win wished me to see your various
r*a*mation projects.
They are magnificent You have a
fine piece of country here. Your
atnndance of water Insures tho future.
The storage dam, which I saw when 1
want up to Representative Hollister’s
beautiful home impressed me very
mack. The reclamation work here is
In fine shape. I wish to see the Ore
gon Basin project and will go to Basin
by asto In order to view it.
One reason why I wish to serve out
my term ae governor is to see the im
migration board find desirable settlers
for Wyoming. We need them. The
beard is going to get them. It is se
curing many Inquiries now. But we
need specific facta about specific local
ities. I wish your people would aid
u* in this direction. We can do a
great deal for you.
"The Carey set is doing so much for
neral directors and embalmers. Leo
Pfaff being the youngest man ever
licensed in the state of lowa.
He learned the business under his
father who had the reputation of be
ing the moet expert embalmer in the
state of lowa.
Both es the Pfaffs bring totheir es
tablishment that experience snd con
ception of modern business methods
which will make for the upbuilding of
Cody.
The store occupied by them is 28
by 100 feet and with basement of the

Is excelled by no similar concern In
the Big Horn Basin. Their lines com
prehend the variety that appeals to
every doss of home. Their price*

witn an eye single to giving the
people good values with a fair living
profit The Herald Is glad to welcome
such men to the business life of Cody

SENATOR WARREN said in part:
Mr. President: Just a word before

age of the joint resolution. Ido not
expect at this late hour to make any
extended comment upon the resolution
noon which we are to vote to-day. Us
merits and demerits have been dis
cussed so often and so fully that fur
ther debate at this time could add
nothing to the public knowledge of tho
question and would have no weight or
Influence in changing the action which
will be taken in thia body to-day.
I voted against the measure on a
former occasion because I believed It
would not bring about a better condi

I am convinced that a large majority
of the people in a large number of the
States desire the opportunity to vote
upon this amendment; and realizing
that the people most and should rule
in the end I propose to vote upon the
proposed constitutional amendment la
