pany of an Old Friend, but Does Not

Touch "Flowing Bowl"
Col. William T.. Cody, otherwise
known to fame as Buffalo Bill" has
come, paid his annual visit in Dead
wood. and gone. This time the veteran
plains,nsn impaired a genuine surprise
when it was learned that for the first
time in his life he had joined the
ranks Of the teetotalers. The colonel's
yearly trip to Deadwood is looked
upon by the old timers as an occasion
when they all meet end recall the days
when the West Was young and Cody
is no SLOUGH of a story teller.
But things have changed. Cody has
not quite made up his mind to advo-
cate prohibition, but his friends here
now declare that they will not be sur
prised at such an announcement. For
three solid hours the scout and his
chum Of the plains days. NJ. r. Russell,
made the rounds of the one -time
haunts Of wild Bill Hickox, Calamity
Jane and other noted Deadwood char
acters and spread CONSERVATION in his
wake. Long before the trip was ended
he had consumed all the available but
termilk on hand and the men in the
white aprons were trying in vain to
stock up against his approach.
incidentally, Col. Cody let it slip that
he had taken his last friendly glass
some three months back and he vol
unteered some wholesome advice to
those he met, On the subject of tenn
perance. He looks younger and seems
in better health than for many years
and declares he intends to stay 30.
Following custom Of many years
when in Deadwood Col. Cody had his
picture taken and intends to use 1t as
an evidence of his faith in abstinence.

PACKERS TO JOIN

Big Chicago Firms Will Join
Armour in Erection of Model
Packing City.
SITE NEAR new BRIGHTON

st. Paul, April 10. - Information OF
an important and hitherto unrevealed
nature concerning the real situation
regarding the packing house PROPOSE
ton came out yesterday morning.
While the war over the Armour site
near New Brighton was being waged
Mr.. Armour himself, serene and un-
disturbed, was quietly continuing to
obtain possession Of what remaining
land he thinks he needs to complete
his buildings and abattoirs. And on
top of it all, and of far greater impor-
lance, is the positive information
that behind Armour stand Nelson
Morris Swift & Co., schwarzschild C
Sulzberger and other lesser packers.
Explains Details Of Plan.
From George Slocum, president of
the Wisconsin Land company, who
negotiated the purchase Of the present
site for Mr.. Armour, comes the word
that from the very start 1t was per-
fectly understood by him and others
interested in securing the land that
Swift intended abandoning South ST.
Paul and his plant there just as soon
as Armour was installed and as quick
ly as land could be obtained for the
building of additional abattoirs.
Included in the scheme Is the cree
ton of model packing city, such as
the world has never before known or
seen.
"Mr. Robbins said Mr.. Slocum, the
gentleman who represented Mr. Ar
mour in all these transactions, "told
me that 1t was the intention of Mr..
Armour and the other packers to
build a model packing city.
"The plan Is to have macadamized
walks and asphalted pavements, i'm
provements of the highest order, cleo
trio street lighting, model tenements
and every convenience and appliance
which modern methods can devise for
the comfort and health of the people,"
Would Establish Separate City.
The original plan" continued Mr..
Slocum, "was to purchase every acre
of land lying between the limits Of
the two municipalities that could be
obtained and to make new and sepa-
rate city, with it's own municipal gov
eminent and its own civil entity.
You can take 1t from me as posi-
tive-l know whereof l speak-that
the new Armour site will be the cen
ter of the packing Industries of the
Northwest; that South st. Paul will
be abandoned = Mr.. Swift has about
three millions invested there, but that
is nothing as compared to new site
and all the other great Chicago
packers will follow suit. This is the
scheme and always has been"
