Park County Great Mecca For Tourists—Fred Morris’ Ranch on North Fork Ideal Resort for Vacation Times
What Shall the System Be
City Water Works Propositions Laid Before City Council
Definite Action Expected to be Taken in This Vital
Matter Without Any Further Delay
At a meeting of the town council on
Monday night Senator Bchwoob and 1
Connell Hargrave* took the lnlUatlve I
on the water works matter and kept
It to the front
Mr. Schwoob said: "Something has
got to be done, and we have to.do It
quickly In the matter of the water
works. The question at this time Is
what to do. We arc not experts. Even
they fall sometimes In matters of this
kind. 1 tor one think we should go
to the people qnd talk It over with
them. The taxpayers should be given
an opportunity to expreu themselves.
I favor a public meeting of the citi
zens. The counctl Is not In a position
to know exactly what to do. Artesian
water Is very attractive as set forth
by Mr. Foster —but 160,040 Is a good
figure. It Is not too much If Mr. Foster
ran do what he says he can. I do not
know at this time just what system
1 should approve. Certainly 1 should
like to hear from our cltlsens.”
Mr. Hargraves arose and said his
views were exactly In line with those
of Councilman Schwoob, and added
that the council was put where (t was
by the people to decide and do the
things Just like the water works pro
blem when they came up before the
council for its disposition.
"This council,’ said Mr. Hargraves
in a most earnest mhnner "should of

WHY YOU SHOULD LOCATE IN PARK COUNTY.
Because the climatic conditions are nearly perfect— sunshine
nearly 360 days in the year—and are of a most Invigorating character.
Greatest health restorer in the country.
Because the opportunities here for farming are not excelled any
w iere by reason of the richness of the soils, the certainty of water at
* * times for irrigation and the bountiful and unfailing crops which
r esult from these conditions.
Because In the stock growing bustness men can gain independence
Quicker on account of the unusually favorable environments here.
Because equal opportunities exist here for the man who really
eslres to win in the battle of life and with the least .artificial restraint
l> aced upon his talents and capacity to achieve results.'
Because with a given amount of capital a man can make more
money here. Why? The country has never exploited.

for this town In the way of an Im
proved water works system, and the
live men that compose Its member
ship should go ahead and give this
town what it so evidently needs In the
way of better water.”
Mayor Deegan said be was not at
that time prepared to say what system
he would vote for and that the council
should decide the matter.
The Foster proiMSltlfcn to drill arte
sian wells at first blush looked good
to the council. He offered to produce
1,000,004 gallons per day from artesian
wells or no pay. If he got that much
water Cody is to pay him 160,000.
Senator Schwoob said to Mr. Foster,
"I would Uke to ask, Mr. Foster, what
guarantee can you give Cody that you
can do wbat you say and that the
water will have a continuous flow. I
ask you this not in an offensive man
ner, but you know that in this day of
large business undertakings and espec
ially of this character some assur
ance other than the bare statement
would have to be forthcoming.”
Mr Foster “simply said: "I will have
my equipment on the grounds 60 days
after the contract Is signed.”
"Yes," said Mr. Schwoob, "we all
understand that. But what can you
guarantee us?”
“My uncle will back me” replied Mr.
Foster.

Cody. Wyoming. Friday, October 20, 1911.
The average healthy, normal Amer
ican likes to have a vacation once a
year at least. To select the place is a
problem which confronts him. It is j
ordinarily a difficult one. If people
took the time It should ndt be. Winter |
and early spring Is the time to In-!
vestlgate the place at which you will
spend your next vacation.
Love of nature Is common to most j
all of us. The “call of the wild" Is !
heard by all. No where Is that call
found so strong than In the grandeur
of nature's most lavish setting than In
the Rockies and especially In Park
county. This is now becoming so gen
erally known that each year finds an
ever Increasing number of persons
turning their faces to the setting sun
and passing the summer and their vs
cation In Park County. Here, they
can see nature In her most varied)
moods. The scenery Is unequalled on
any other spot on the globe. The
great Cody way to the National Yel
lowstone Park Is now found to be the
only way. Persons that travel the
Cody way to the Park and witness the
magnificent panorama of the Holy
City, Chinese Wall. Chimney Rock,
Devil’s Elbow, and Madam Grundy
entering her cabin, experience at first
a sense of bewilderment, then a sense
of Infinitude; then a sense of profound
awe which In turn is succeeded by ad
miration and exquisite pleasure that
nature has built so wonderfully and
so grandly.
So then the beauties of Park county
are becoming so renowned that the
tourist seeking it as an important

The Grand Encampment and Grand

George S. Russell has been selected

ment and the proper care of himself
and his creature comforts.
Citizens of Park county, many of
| them, are making a special feature of
caring for visitors and tourists. It has
' been iq&de a special study and the
; visitor can be assured of every rea
sonable and possible comfort he may
' wish.
' The Herald has from time to time
; referred to other mountain lodges and
ranches where guests may be cared
for, and today publishes a cut of the
jvell known Morris Ranch on the
North Fork and on the great scenic
way tp the Yellowstone Park.
Fred Morris the owner was raised in
Philadelphia, came to Wyoming about
9 years ago. He spent several years
on the mountains knows every
1 trail anft&fil the places Where hunters
of big game may find some good tro
phies. He knows all of the fine trout
holes ifc the mountain streams.
This knowledge has brought him
each year milllonaries from the east
who wish recreation that re-creaes.
To accommodate this desirable pat
j ronage Mr. Morris has so improved
| this ranch that he now has 7 cabins
! 44x32 each, baths, hot and cold water
to care for the very best class of tour
ists.
To further 'take care of the Park
i trade he has made connection with
the Yellowstone Park Transportation
Co. and thereby give his patrons a fine
trip through the great national play
ground. It would be difficult to secure
such excellent attention and such ex
perienced services in guidance over
the country as Mr. Morris offes.

Death of Leonard Horr
Promising Young Man Passes to Great Beyond.-His Life
Brief But a Shining One--Obsequies Testify to High
Esteem in Which Deceased Was Held.
“Well, Ethel, I am going to our new
home—you’ll come after while, wont’t
you?”
With those words the brave spirit
of Leonard Horr passed out it’s clay
tenement on Wednesday afternoon
about four o’clock.
He had addressed them to Miss
Ethel Shaw, Jo whom, he had pledged
his life for her happiness and the
young couple were to have been mar
ried next month.
Twenty-three days ago he was dir
-ected by his physician, Dr. Bennett to
remain in his room and Mr. Horr
reluctantly did so. Before this Leon
ard had been declining in health and
strength and the doctor pronounced it
when called upon as typhoid fever.
The unfavorable turn took place early
in the present week and on Wednes
day the battle that he so courageously
waged was lost.
Leonard Monroe Horr was born at
Bozeman, Mont, September 30, 1884,
and is survived by his mother, Mrs.
David H. McFall of Cody, a sister Mrs.
Hattie Lanigan, of St. Louis, Mo., a
brother Allison Horr, and their father
Henry R. Horr.
The funeral will take place today,
Friday afternoon, at the Episcopal
Church. The services will be conduct
ed by Rev. J. H. McV. Haight, assisted ,
by Rev. E. L. Anderson, and will j
occur at two o’clock p. m. A number J

that it is not behind th i Cody portion

they come two at a tine.
WHY PARK COUNTY WANTS YOU TO LOCATE HERE.
Because the country needs new men and money to assist in de
veloping the richest portion of Wyoming and the Big Horn Basin.
Because Park County ofTors more to men of some ability and with
some capital than any other portion of the United States, and she will
go further to protect such new comers than most other sections.
Because in the matter of schools, churches, public Improvements
both In the county and In the town of Cody shfi will compare with any
similar populated portion of the country.
Because here will be found that nature has dealt out with a moat
lavish Hand some of her richest treasurer’ throughout Park County.
In scenery she has all but exhausted her Infinite variety; In soils none
excel —not even the famous Nile; In health giving qualities no other
portion Is comparable; In wealth producing openings the beginning
has not really been made yet.

funeral, among them are the Owls and
Eagles. These will meet at the Hart
Mountain Inn at shortly before two
o’clock and proceed In a body to the
chqrch. Interment will be made at
Sulphhr Creek cemetery.
Mrs. Schwoob and the ladles of the
library board have sent to Bluings Mr
flowers. Other evidences of the regard
in which Leonard Horr was held uni
versally by this community arc found
on every band.
Leonard Horr was one of those rare
men who win the eßteem of the people
with whom he was thrown In contact
because of hit dislike of sham and
hypocrasy. His fellows loved him by
reason, too, of his intellectual powers
and keen sense of humor. He was one
of the best read men in Cody in the
better realms of good literature and
he was a book lover In the very best
sense of that term. As librarian of
the Cody library he did much to place
that institution on a higher and more
enduring plane, and awakened a
stronger desire In the minds of those
who patronized the library for the
better class of books. In local ama
teur theatricals he was easily the peer
of the best and the community tuned
out In full force when ever he was
down on the program. He possessed
much talent In this direction and
never seemed so happy as when he
