THE HEfIALD, CODY, WYOMING. AUGUST 25„ 1911
GREENLEAF TELLS OF
WYOMING RESOURCES
Former Resident of Omaha Returns
for Visit and is Loud in Praise of
State of His Adoption.
The following from the Omaha Bee
relating to a well known Cody resi
dent W. S Greenleaf reveals that a
proph *t •:« not without honor save In
his own home.
Intimate friends of Mr. Greenleaf
have known for years of his special
talent and ability as both a civil and
mining engineer. His errand in Omaha
is only known to his closest friends
and they predict some welcome news
later in the year touching the develop
ment of some of the knc».n resources
of Park county in which he has been
deeply interested. His connections in
Omaha are of the highest order.
VV. S. Greenleaf. a mining engineer
of Cody, Wyo., is visiting in Omaha.
He is well known among the engi
neers of the city, having been form
erly associated with the Omaha Water
company and the city engineering de
partment. In speaking of the resources
of Wyoming and of the future possi
bilities of Park county, Mr. Greenleaf
says: “It Is one of the most wonder
ful countries I have ever visnted. The
commercial minerals in the immed.-
ate vicinity of Cody consist of siilpnu ,
coal, kaolin (china c*ay), gypsum aua
shale, and are of the best charao-r.
They are found in almost unlimited
quantities. Agriculturally the count r;-
with ita present irrigation system ha*,
no limits.” In speaking of the resource
exhibitions which are held throughout
the country, Mr. Greenleaf says that
in his opinion Omaha will receive the
hearty support and co-operation of
Park county In the coming land show'.
This year promises to be the banner
year for Yellowstone National Park.
Hundreds of tourists are leaving Cody
every week via the famous Cody roaa
through Shoshone canon, and the addi
tional elk allowance is bringing many
sportmen to these great hunting
grounds.

OUR CLARK'S FORK LETTER
L. B. Everette of Berthound, Colo
rado, came through Clark last week
with a fine bunch of horses and mules,
his destination being Golden, Mont.,
where he has arranged to dispose ot
his stock at a good price. Mr. Everette
was accompanied on this long drive
of his herd by R. H. Boatman, Carl
Egner and Cleo Bradney and they all
vouchsafed the fact that with the ex
ception of Governor Carey’s alfalfa
and that grown in the Gooseberry
country, the Clerk’s Fork alfalfa was
the best they had seen in theii thirty
days travel northward.
Samuel Bovard and wife of Cody,
accompanied’ by their three children
and son-in-law, Ray Phillips, came
over a few days ago to visit the beau
tiful Clark’s Fork valley and were so
delighted with everything they saw,
that they arranged to file upon a
Homestead and will return within a
few weeks and build a house and barn
and move their families here early this
fall.
George Berry, formerly associated
with Hud Darrah in the Laramie
and Fort Fetterman country, who
came to Bennett Creek seventeen
years ago, has leased his ranch for
five years to a Red Lodge man, and
will return within a few’ weeks to live
at his old home at Flatweeds. West
Virginia. Berry’s mother, brothers Jim
Joe and Dave live there still.
F. H. Blodgett head of the Clerk’s
Fork Irrigation construction, is ex
pected home from New York at the
week’s end, when some good ditch
news w ill doubtless accompany him.
Mrs. F. H. Blodgett and son Hay
den, have been visiting old time
friends the past few’ days at Clark and
incidentally picking choke cherries in
the mean time.
E. M. Clark and Tom Frasure have
cut their second crop of alfalfa and
Mr. Clark told your correspondent to
day, "that the second was much
heavier than the first.” They and
many others in the valley will cut a
good third crop.
Except for the wind shifting to the
eastward, a forest fire that broke out
in Little Rocky Canyon Sunday, might
have proved very distructive.

DARRAH SELLS SCHOOL LUMBER.

for the new’ school building at Mar

Lumber Co.
