CODY, Wyo., Aug. 13.-Out on tn,
| Wonderland trail. in one of the lonlies
spots, Buffalo Bill has built for himself
a tomb, in Which he will be buried. L
is on the apex of Rattlesnake noun
tain, and is almost inaccessible except
to the experienced mountain climber
Cody has made provision in his Will fol
the expenses necessary to remove his
body to the mountain, no matter in
! what country of the globe he shall die
Cody has lived long enough to see
another of his dreams realized-the
opening of his -taIked-of Cody
Trail Through Wonderland, the Trail
i being a new route to the Yellowstone
National Park, trail passing
/ through what the famous scout and In
, dian fighter says is the finest 100 miles
of scenery in the world.
+ SEES DREAM REALIZED.
| 1t has been the dream of the las,
forty years of Col. Cody's life to estap-
lish road running into the Yellow
stone National Park from the east and
passing through the famous Yellow
stone forest reservation, where Col
Cody, as well as others who have
passed over the route, say can be found
sights and scenes superior to even the
serve on the west, and which the Cody
Trail to Wonderland" leads.
Col. Cody years ago laid out the route
which he wanted to use. He didn't
have the assistance of an engineer in
doing so, because it was not his OBJ
ject to make short line or to avoid
difficulties. The first object of the
trail was to pass through the best
scenery, and it didn't make much diff
ference how much out of the way of
air line the trail went
ORIGINATES AT HIS OWN TOWN.
Eventually it would end at the Lake
Hotel, in the Yellowstone National
Park, and its originating point was on
the Shoshone river in the Big Horn
basin. where later the Colonel located
his home and the town of Cody
1t is out of the trail that Col Cody
has established his two hunting lodges,
Wapiti Wickiup and Pahaska Tepee
The first takes its name from the
Wapiti branch of the Shoshone river,
on which it is located, while the second
is named directly for Buffalo Bill
Pahaska Tepee meaning 1.-The home of
the long-haired man. Oong Hair is an
Indian name for Col. Cody.
IDEAL MOUNTAIN HOME.
white Beaver Powell, Col Cody's !
foster brother, says this about Pahaska |
Tepee: THE tepee is in the heart of |
the big game country of the Rocky |
Purest water from noun |
tain springs and melting SHOWS are |
filed with rainbow salmon, mountain |
and brook trout, and on every side |
huge mountains tower thousands of /
feet into the air. Some of those noun |
tains are capped with snow all the year
round
The Pahaska Tepee is the largest log
cabin in the world and will accommo-
date something like 100 persons. Wa
pitt Wickiup, twenty-five miles nearer
than the tepee, will take
care of so persons.
IS A ROMANTIC TRAIL.
The road from Cody to the Yellow
stone skirts mountains and rivers, dark
ravines and appalling precipices. At
one time half up the side of the noun
tain it goes; at another it winds it's L
way along the bottom of some black
canyon through which a mountain |
stream roars and plunges. Through Il
he Rattlesnake canyon of the Shoshone i
t has been found necessary to even cut
several short tunnels, so difficult has
