Western Newspaper MOI News Service,

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington. - The unrestrained
wrath of the Senate was poured
down upon the food gamblers and
spectators Monday in n of the
most remarkable scenes in the his
tory of the chamber.
Pirates and Robbers" were terms
frequently applied to those who profit
by speculations in food in the hour OF
the nations need. The likelihood OF
food spectators being hanged to lamp
posts was limited at.
The storm broke when Senator
Thomas, DEM, of Colorado. proposed
as an amendment to the administra-
ton espionage bill a provision to sus-
pend for the duration of the war all
boards of trade, stock exchanges or
chambers of commerce which permit
speculation in futures in food.
Senators who opposed it did so on
the ground that the object should be
accomplished in another way, and
some thought it would stifle COM
merce. The great majority of opinion
favored some drastic action to stop
food gambling and speculation.
After discussion the resolution was
defeated, 40 to "a.
The rapid rise in grain prices on
the Chicago Exchange has caused the
administration to redOuble its efforts
in behalf of food control legislation al
ready introduced in both houses of
Congress.

lures was barred for a period of two

ton of the two-day period, so far as

CITY MAY Do
OWN Street
REPAIRING
SMALL OUTLAY WILL FURNISH
STREET COMMISSIONER WITH
ALL NECESSARY MACHINERY
TO MAKE REPAIRS.

Street Commissioner Dewitt, to-
gether with the city commissioners,
have some we'll defined plans whereby
the city will own in the future all
machinery and material necessary to
maintain paving improvements that
may become necessary. The question
Of maintaining paving repairs in the
past has been a nightmare to the ad.
ministration, Litigation has been in
yoked, and the results rendered have
been very unsatisfactory.
II the plans Of the street commits
sioner are carried out all this will be
eliminated in the future, and the city
will be in position to take care Of its
own repair work and possibly make
further extensions in the paving dis
tricts.
Mr.. Dewitt has obtained the data
necessary and the cost that all this
machinery will involve will be neg
ligible, compared to the benefits that
fact that "a stitch in time saves nine" "
will be derived. 1t is a well known
and when paving begins to decay it
should be repaired at once This
saves money and is far more salts
factory to the general public, which
pays the bills. The cost of this ma.
chinery is small, and it is, believed by
the commissioner that the people viii
back him in his claim for it.
Some work has already been done
by the city with borrowed machinery
and It has been proven that the city
is In position to do It better and cheap
er than by contract
Commissioner Dewitt and eX City
Engineer John 'Carlock have given
this matter much thought and believe
they have arrived at the proper solu.
tion OF the matter.

IN Denver
FAMOUS SCOUT MET THE GRIM
REAPER CALMLY AT NOON TO-
DAY - WAS FAMOUS ALL OVER
THE WORLD.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 1O.-Col. VII.
liam F. Cody died here today at
twelve five.
Col William f. Cody, Buffalo Bill, ;"
hunter, soldier, scout and Snowman
was for many years known to nearly
every man, woman, boy and girl in
America through his wild west show
with which he toured this country and
Europe. He was a picturesque type
of the pioneer frontiersman and lived
to see large cities built where he once
hunted the buffalo and fought Indians.
Col William f. Cody was born in
Scott county, Iowa, February 26, 1916.
His ancestral stock was Spanish, Eng
lish and Irish. His parents moved
west and took up claim near Leav-
enworth, Kansas, then a frontier In.
dian post when Cody was five years
old. At ten years of age he found
himself the head of the family, owing
to the death of his father who was
killed in an encounter growing out OF
q dispute over the negro slave ques-
tion. Young Codys first employment
was as a courier between the freight
wagon trains operated between the
Missouri river and the Rocky noun
tains. In turn he became wagon mas
ter, trapper, hunter, pony express rider
and stage coach driver, all giving a
varied experience in a school, the
graduation from which lett the scholar
an adept in every possible line of
frontier activity.
An exciting experience in the Union
army as a soldier and subsequently
as a conddant and scouy OF his com
manders in the desultory and gLer'
lila warfare of the southwest left him
at it's finish well known as an all
around frontiersman, competent to
advise, to guide and to lead These
qualities soon brought him to the at
tention OF such distinguished rom.
manders as Gen. W. 4. Sherman
Lieut.-Gen. Phil Sheridan and Generals
Crook, Custer, Merritt, Carr, Royal
Miles, Dodge and others and secured
his appointment as chief Of scouts in
the United States army during it,
numerous Indian campaigns in the
west.
His career in this line identified him
with the great fighting epoch between
the red man and the white man waged
by Gen, Sheridan after the civil war
that temporarily ended in 1876, but
was effectively finished in the Ghost
Dance war in the decisive battle oI
Wounded Knee in 1S9O.9l campaign
with the Northern Sioux.
During the construction of the I'm
ion Pacific railroad young Cody at
tached himself to camp Of United
States troops protecting the laborers
and won his soubriQuet of Buffalo
Biz by taking a contract to supply
the entire force with fresh buffalo
meat for certain period, killing un
der one contract 42SO buGaloes. on
one occasion he killed the noted Chey
enne Chief yellow Hand in the pres
ence of Indians and troops.
He became known to juvenile Amer
lea in tho stories Of western adventure

under the nom de plume Of Ned Bunt

finding his occupation on the western

Ts6 INMATES CARED FOR
 AT PIONEER HOME IN '16

Seven hundred fifty Alaska pio- .neers were cared for in 1916 at the Alaska Pioneers home in Sitka, ac- cording to the annual report just issued by the board of trustees.
 The financial statement shows a balance January l, this year, of S2S,955.37. The total amount ex- pended in 1916 was $24,SS2.3S. The total expenditure in 1915 was $12.498.S9.
 An increase from an average daily number of inmates of 46.52 in 1915 to 5s.69 in 1916 is shown to be largely responsible for the increased expenditure
 The board of trustees consists of Governor J. F. A. Strong, chair man; Allen Shattuck, treasurer; lC. c. Georgeson, secretary.
