The Washington herald., 1916-05-29

, Promptly at 1870 this morning Col
William F. Cody, more familiarly known
as Buffalo Bill" will snap the reins
over the backs of a dapper pair of pinto
mustangs and the mile long parade of
the Buffalo Bill 10l Ranch Wild West
Show will leave the big canvas city which
has sprung up at Florida avenue and
Fifteenth street northeast
,, Following him will come fifty regular
United States soldiers, on furlough from
the Mexican campaign, and a host of
cowboys and cow-grls, Indians, Mexi-
cans, Cossacks, Japs, Turkish riders,
stage coaches, prairie schooners, and
similar features of the Western life as
1t used to be.
Somewhere in the parade will be an
Indian girl whose eyes will be red from
weeping. Her name is Juanita Yellow
Shield, and coming from the railroad
yards. yesterday her bundle fell from
one CT the wagons and was lost. 1t
contained not only Juanita Yellow
Shields wardrobe. but the presents she
has been collecting to carry back to her
relatives on the plains of Wyoming to
substantiate the stories she has to tell
them. But the presents are gone now.
Also in the parade will be Old Iron
Tail, whose grim visage adorns the
Buffalo five-cent piece.
Two big special trains bringing the
show pulled into the yards at o'clock
yesterday morning, and the crowd which
had sacrificed its morning nap to see
the arrival and had been standing around
eXpectantly for half an hour, suddenly
came to life as the 500 employees hustled
out of the cars and began to get the big
wagons and the horses unloaded.
About o'clock the employees were sit
ting down to breakfast in the big mess
tent. 1t was just ffty-fve minutes after
the mess wagons had reached the grounds
that the steam began to rise from the
coffee cups set out on the long table.
After breakfast the five big double
tents for the draft horses went up, fol-
lowed by the wigwams, the tents for the
mustangs, the dressing tents, and the
numerous other canvas domiciles which
are to shelter the show during its two
days stay. The huge exhibition tent
went up last. The big top" is new, and
will be used for the first time today.
The engagement lasts for two days
only with performances each afternoon
and evening at 2 and o'clock.
Reserved seats are on sale at the show
gounds and at Ogram's drug store, Thir-
teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue.

Washington Steel and Iron Co.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. Editor
Leavenworth Echo: l notice that in
the issue OF The Echo OF Sept. 1st,
you publish an article relating to the
affairs Of the Washington Steel and Iron
Gonna any. in which the impression is
given that the Brief history Of the
company" as therein stated was a part
Of my conversation with business man
OF LeaYepworth.
Personally l have no objection to
any body writing about the company in
whatever humor pleases them best,
provided they confne themselves 10
the actual facts, but ipas-much-as GER
tain parts OF this article are not in ac-
cordance with the facts and appear TO
have come from some ones imagination
instead OF any conversation held with
me, trust that I am entitled to enough
OF your valuable space TO correct such
parts Of this article as are either partly
or wholly untrue.
Referring TO that part Of the article
which says the entire plant would be
sold for what it would bring" your in
formant should have said, that such
part Of the plant as cannot be profit
ably removed to the new location, and
such part Of the machinery as would
not be useful in the new plant will be
sold.
The liberal blocks OF stock" with
which the Leavenworh people supplied
themselves, amounted to less than
$4,000 instead Of $4,000.
The statement that, some steel was
made, the quality OF which if turned
out on a commercial basis at lower
cost than the imported article, would
have revolutionized the tool steel in
dustrv Of the world" is wholly untrue.
No metal was produced in this plant
that was worthy the name Of steel.
The net result OF eight months OF abort
ave attempts of E. H. Rothert 10 make
steel was about (600) six hundred
pounds OF metal, which when finally
submitted to chemical analysis in the
best laboratories OF the United States,
was shown to be an inferior quality OF
metal and OF no commercial value
greater than ordinary scrap or pig iron.
To those that have the delusion that
the company was prevented from using
this so-called secret process, l would
point out that the above facts are ample
proof OF its value, and that the com
pany had no reason to desire a written
formula for producing metal that had
no established commercial value, and
that could not be put to any com
mercial use in the state in which it
was produced Yours very truly,
