One of the Oldest pioneers in this en-
tire region is the postmaster of Cody,
Mr.. w. p. Webster. Born in Indiana
half a century since, he came to Wyom-
ing away back in 81, after having spent
a few years in Nebraska. Mr.. Web
ster's family have the distinction of
being the first one to locate on the site
OF is now Cody and since their ar
rival here the county in which they
now live has been subject to W divi-
sions.
Mr.. Webste: is married, has a son
and daughter, both grown, the latter
being married and living at Fort
Washakie. Mr.. Webster is regarded
as one OF the best hunters and guides
in the country, having a complete
knowledge of the location of every trail
and pass and the character of this en-
tire region. For several years past he
has very acceptably filed the office of
postmaster, his services giving COM
plete satisfaction.
Mr.. Webster is known as one of the
best equipped mechanics in the coun-
try. being a good machinist. car
penter, blacksmith, telegraph operator,
shoemaker, e engineer and
these trades he mas practiced medicine
at different periods, o.iiciated at we'd

Among the men of Cody who have
had long experience in this part of the
country is w. j. Chapman, proprietor
and owner of the Buckhorn saloon. Mr..
Chapman is one of the ..old timers" in
the basin, having lived in this state
since 1884. For many years he followed
the prevailing occupation of this sec
tion-''punching cows" as the boys
say, and acquired an invaluable expert
ence as a rider and roper.
The opportunities of ranch life, how
ever, were too meagre to suit the am
bition of this progressive citizen, and
he recently moved to Cody, where he
established the saloon where is now To-
Gated. Since his coming he has son

For Il little ov," 4 year tn, cit ne Is
of Cody and OF the surrounding region
have enjoyed the benefits of Il first
class bank. This has been possible
through the enterprise and public spirit
of Messrs. Amoretti and Parks, names
long familiar in the banking circles of
Wyoming.
These well-known and capable iinan-
ciers located in Cody about eighteen
months ago, having previously oper-
ated successful banks at T~hermopolis
and Lander, where they are still con
Quoting banking institutions.
The senior member of the firm is
Mr.. Eugene Amoretti. ST., one OF the
pioneers of The state. Coming to the
South Pass country in the late sixties
he at once proved his faith in the coun-
try by purchasing mining property. He
located his family nj South Pass in
1868, and il was here that his son
Eugene was born. Mr.. Amoretti en-
tered actively into business of various
kinds, and early gained the reputation
OF being an enterprising, far-sighted
citizen. He developed mining proper
ty, erected n stamp mill. and engaged
in the mercantile business. At one
time he owned the Star mine, Eldora-

cupation and development will increase
very greatly our population, many set
tiers already arriving and with the
opening of spring the number will be
vastly increased. Within the radins of
Il few miles of the town exist mammoth
quarries of the best quality of building
stone and marble, gypsum and sulphur

dance and great forests of good timber
and, at oar very doors, the great Sho-

Quite recently oil has been discovered
n couple of miles from town and after

lions point to the presence of great
quantities. A company has been
formed and arrangements are being
made for the sinking of wells.
