Striking Letter From “Aunt May’s” Brother, Buffalo Bill
Having lived close to Nature's
| having dwelt amidst her beautiful
i solitudes, having traversed her numer
-1 (us magnificent dashing roaming
I mountain streams, having penetrated
to the uttermost fastness it hf.r
splendid pine forests, having ascend
i « d to her loftiest snow capped peaks
n the magnificent Rockies, it was but
the natural love of Col. William P.
Cody, affectionately termed Buffalo
Bill, for the best of Nature's handi
work that he selected the spot upon
which Pahaska is situated.
It is at Pahaska that Nature hath
wrought her most glorious piece' ot
scenery in the north west
It is here that the weary soul, the
overwrought nerves and sickened bod.v
finds that rest, that rejuvenation ann
renewal of the sparkling vitality ot
youth.
Such is the fame of Pahaska that
the opening day In Cody and Wyo
ming Is an event of moment. Every
body that can turns Pahaska-ward as
the rose follows the sun.
Last Saturday was the day that
marked the beginning of the season
of 1911. Col. and Mrs. Decker have
for weeks been preparing for the oc
casion. The picturesque Pahaska
Teepe was all, in readiness for the
merry party that swooped in last
week. The towering pines sang a gen
tie welcome, the murmuring streams
as they ran their cooling sinuous way
along, breathed a sparkling welcome
as they were glimpsed along the route
to Pahaska. And to the party in the
string of automobiles that carried the

The Whirl O’ The Town
Mad, Glad Musical Comedy---Local Cast Os Forty—Has
Made Good Elsewhere---Good Cause---Good
Attendance Is Desired.
Under Auspices Os The Ladies’ Guild
That merry three act musical com
edy ..The Whirl o’ th’ Town," Is to be
produced here on Tuesday and Wens
day evenings, June 26 and 27 at Cody
Opera House,' under the auspices ot
the Ladles Guild of the Episcopal
church.
The ladles have secured the services
of Harry H. Williams, a director of
amateurs, who comes highly recom
mended. Mr. Williams has been pro
ducing this particular play for the
past three years throughout the North
West. Presentations at Portland,
Ore., Wallace, Ida., Anaconda, Mis
soula, Bozeman and Red Lodge, Mont.,
Alliance, Nebr., Deadwood, 8. Dak.,
Sterling, Colo and Rawlins, Wyo. hav
ing been particularly successful.
There are always some doubts In
the minds of the public, as to the real
m-rits of a thing of this kind. But In
this Instance the patrons are not mere
ly fulfilling a charitable obligation, but
get value received and quality equal
to mest professional presentations.
For Mr. Williams’ press notices de
clare him to be a competent director,
and that the play Itself can not be
beaten for real fun and amusement.
The play concerns Andrew Jackson
Squills, a well to do farmer with polit
ical ambitions. An election has taken
place the day previous to the opening
of the play, and the returns are not
all In. Squills’ candidacy for State
Senator Is In the balance. The scone
is in the Squlllß’ farm yard and a great
variety of farmer characters are In
troduced that add to the spice and fun.
among them being Hucker Jenkins,
hired man, Hop Hayard, a farm boy,
Tamarack Hankinson, a country de
tective and Miss Mandy Sparks, the
old maid help along the fun, as docs

forms a bit of a love affair and helps
to carry on the plot of the play.

the grove in front of the hotel there
was the gracious and kindly welcome
of Col. and Mrs. Decker together with
that of others of guests from the big
piazza who had reached Pahaska first
an 1 were gathered there like one large
happy family.
Such was the reception acorded the
guests that forgathered at Pahaska.
But what of the trip and incidents
which preceeded the arrival upon such J
an entrancing scene.
The parties left Cody, Saturday
afternoon about two-thirty in a string
of autos that sped swiftly on through
the canyon one after another like
some triumphal procession so high
were the spirits of all.
The passage through the Shoshone
Gorge or Canyon was not indicative
of the greater pleasures to come by
reason of the impressiveness of its
frowming red granite cliffs towering,
hundreds of feet above on either side
and because of the dizzying depths at
which the dashing foaming waters ot
the Shoshone River were beheld in
some instances, as many feet below.
Neither could one suppress the thought
what if the auto would go over those
cliffs, though of that there was not
any real danger.

IMMIGRATION COM
MISSIONER MEEIS
CLUB MEMBERS
I HE TELLS THEM OF THE PUR
POSES OF HIS BUREAU AND
THE SCOPE OF ITS PROPOSED
i WORK AND ASKS FOR CO-OPERA-
I TION IN THIS SECTION, THIS
JHAS BEEN LACKING.
MEETS WITH READY RESPONSE
Col. Bridgman .And Major Gardner,
Capitalists From Pittsfield, Mass,
Address Club Also—They Make A
Hit By The Manner In Which They
Grasp The Opportunities In The Big
Horn Basin..
Roy Schenk, state immigration com
niirsioner was in Cody this week. He
was taken for an auto drive all over
the surrounding country and shown
what this section of the Big Horn
Basin really is contained within the
boundaries of Park county.
Mr. Schenk met the members of the
Cody club on Wednesday night and
there was as a full attendance of the
members as there has been for months.
The remarks of the immigration
commissioner were full of pithy points
that made a pro retina impression upon
the members.
Short talks were given by Col.
Bridgman, Major Gardner, Gov. Beck,
I Senator J. M. Schwoob. Mayor Deegan
; and others.
Among the things Mr. Schenk said
was that the bureau was not receiv
ing the assistance it should. He point
ed out that in Cody he had asked for
data and informaton touching thl3 sec
tion and had received no response.
He advised the preparation of a print
ed statement or folder touching the
things that made Park county a desir
able place for settlers. He also stated
that his board were receiving many
inquiries every day from the cast call
ing for specific information from Wyo
ming.
The inquiries wanted data touching
the amount per acre raised in the pro
ducts of Park county. Facts al3o
relative to transportation facilities
were especially desired.
He further declared that the Wyo
mir.d board was not following the
beaten paths of similar boards, but
using original methods which were
now producing satisfactory results.
Advertisements had been Inserted In
Sunday Issues of Chicago papers and
from one of those alone forty re
sponses of an excellent character had
been received. Such responses weco
replied to and follow up literature
w T as invariably mailed. But In cases
like Park County and Cody, which
had no printed matter, the immig-a
tion board was helpless—lt was un
r.ble to supply any information except
ing that of a general kind.
Mr. Schenk made the club laugh
when he said, “We make a bluff at It
though and give inquirers a good gen
eral story. We make it stick too some
times. But gentlemen, the Big Horn
Basin must awaken to her opportun
ities and furnish us the required in
formation.”
Attention w r as directed to tho num
ber© of very large farms of hundreds
of acres, and Mr. Schenk believed that
the time must eventually como when
