A TRAGEDY IN WASTED FOODS.

According to the report of the health
department, more than 100000 pounds
of food products were condemned and
destroyed last week. The lot was made
up of food which, good for use when
it started for New York, had spoiled
en- route and had been seized by in
spectors. 1t was dumped below the
lower bay.
Back Of this amazing piece of bust
ness, which amounts to little less than
a tragedy of the markets in this sea-
son of monstrous overcharging and
of needless deprivation, is story of
faults in shipment, or in transit man
agement, or in both these particulars.
We know by experience what marvels
can be done in the long distance car
riage of perishable produce. We have
in this record of last weeks wastage
right at our doors the proof of how
food cargoes can miscarry, from dis
tances not phenomenal.
A search among the details suggest
ed by the decay in transit of 481 tons
of much-needed provisions should
yield results quite as profitable to the
public as an inquisition directed Who'll

ming of his financial downfall. In
1914 the show went into the hands
of a receiver and Cody announced
himself dead broke"
Numerous friends went to his res
cue, and late in the Spring of 1914
H. H. Tammen, of Denver, who
owned the controlling interest in the
Sells-Floto Circus, put Cody at the
head of that enterprise, and at the
age of s%ixty-eight the venerable
frontiersman again made his bow to
crowded grandstands.
In 1916 the Miller brothers.. own
ers of the 101 Ranch, at Bliss, Okla,
offered Cody an interest in their Wild
West Show, and he finished out the
circus cas- with them.
In November, 1916, he showed
signs of fast failing health and re-
turned to his home at Cody, Wyo.,
where on December IS, he was re-
ported seriously ill.

Native BQrekan Makes
Fortune In War Brides

Carson Appeal: It is stated that
Tom Robinson, president of the San
Francisco Stock Exchange, who has
just returned to the city from a sew
eral months stay in New York City,
made a cleanup of a couple Of hun
dred thousand dollars on war
Brides" while in the eastern metrop-
oils.
Robinson, just reaching his major
ity, was one of the first to engage in
the brokerage business in Goldfield
and during the palmy days of that
camp made all kinds of money. but
the "man-made' panic of 1907 caught
him as it did many others and ex-
pressed in the vernacular, put him
ION the hog" His spirit was un-
dampened. however. and jumping
into the game in San Francisco he
met with varying success until going
east a few months ago.
To learn that he has made a big
fortune in the east will be gratifying
news to Robinson's many Nevada
friends and the wish is expressed
that it is the foundation for a lot
more.
Tom is a Nevada boy, born and
raised in the old town of Eureka, and
he has numerous relatives in this
State.

LEGISLATURE TO CON.
VENE JANUARY IS
Changes in Many Laws Expected
and Present Session Promises
to Be Interesting

On Monday January Is, the State
Legislature will convene at Carson
and according to newspaper reports
from there many have written for
apartments and places to house dur
ing their stay in the capital city. A
number of the legislators will be &C.
companied by their wives.
There is an unusually large num-
Der of important measures to be pre-
scented at this session and the public
generally are expecting changes in
many laws that have proved to be
detrimental to the welfare Of the
State. . .
With the Assembly Democratic and
the Senate Republican interesting
times may be looked for and the pub
lie will have their attention focused
on the men who have been elected to
make good laws.
From a social standpoint the people
of Carson City are arranging for a
grand reception to be rendered the
members of the Legislature, attaches
and visitors.
The Carson Appeal says that the
entertainment planned is something
out of the ordinary, as in no other
State capital is this proceeding Gus
tomary and for that very reason Car
sons public spirited citizens r 60
ing to do it.
Governor Boyle has suggested that
the State officials cooperate with the
city officials in making the reception
a grand success. 1t will be held We'd
nesday evening, January II, instead
of Monday evening, as first proposed.

BUFFALO BILL.

Denver (Colo.,) January 10-Col-
onel William Frederick Cody Buffalo
Bill soldier, hunter and scout, the
idol of juvenile America, died at
1905 p. m. here to-day at the home
Of his sister. .f
The following outline of Colonel
Cody's illness was given by his physi-
clan:
Colonel Cody returned from his
seasons show work last Fall much
exhausted. He went to his ranch at
Cody, Wyo., to rest, and on his re-
turn to Denver, about four weeks
ago, contracted a sever cold. This
seemed to settle in his bowels and an
impaction followed. The impaction
was reduced with great difficulty.
Following this, although the cold
persisted, the colonel recovered
enough to be up and take automo-
bile rides.
For years an inveterate smoker,
his heart became seriously affected.
The amount of tobacco Colonel Cody
consumed was reduced sharply on
his physicians advice and again i'm
provement followed. Then the Col
onel thought if he could get out
more and take the baths and drink
the water at Glenwood Springs, Colo,
he would make further Improvement.
He went to the resort on January 3.
On January 5 he suffered a nervous
collapse and his physicians hurried
him back to Denver.
Colonel Cody fought death as he
often had opposed it on the plains in
the days when the West was young.
Career Full of Adventure
Colonel Cody was the last survivor
of the hardy group of pioneers,
scouts and Indian fighters that knew
the old West as it was. But unlike
the Carsons, Crocketts. Shermans and
Clusters who played important parts
in the reclamation of the western
empire he lived to see the plains dot
ted with cities and towns, the deserts
become irrigated farms and all Sec
tons of the empire linked by railways
He was the last of the old men of
the West.
He kept apace with the times and
became a rancher, miner, Snowman
and author.
Buffalo Bill" whose exploits have
thrilled young America for two gen.
erations, was born February &c, 1916,
in Scott County. Iowa. His father,
Isaac Cody, had gone West with his
wife from their Ohio farm.
Cody, senior, heard the call from
the California gold fields. and it was
soon afterward that Bill Cody's life
of adventure began. The start
westward was made in 1854 when
Cody was 8 years old. The family
that year left Iowa, which was then
the frontier, and joined a wagon
train bound for Fort Leavenworth.

Cody, Senior, Killed

The family settled in Kansas, the
journey to the gold field having been
abandoned. In 1857, when Cody was
II years old. the elder Cody died
from knife wounds received during
the anti-slave agitation in Kansas
territory. He was a believer in the
Union. # ~
Bill Cody then became the bread
winner for the family. For three
years he acted as a guide and rifle
shot for wagon trains. In 1860, when
he was IA. he became a government
PONY express rider. but the follow
ing year saw him serving as a guide
and scout for, the Seventh Kansas
Cavalry, with which he served
throughout the Civil War.
1t was during the next few years
that he earned the name of Buffalo
Bill" The construction of the Kan
sas Pacific across the plains had COM
menced. Cody obtained the contract
to supply the men in the construc-
ton camps with buffalo meat. 1t is
said of him that he would ride into
a herd with a pistol in each hand, the
reins in his teeth and would bring
down enough buffalo to supply the
camps for days.
Tribute By Historian
Concerning this period in his life,
one historian says Of him:
He was the finest specimen of
young manhood in the West, stand
ing fully six feet, as straight as an
arrow, strong as a lion and quick
and nimble as a cat. His hair was
long and black as that of an Indian.
he was an expert horseman, and
could shoot a pistol with deadly &C.
curacy while riding at full speed"
He was then we'll known in that
part of the West. and was elected to
the Nebraska Legislature in 1872.
When the Indian wars broke out
in 1876 he left the Legislature to be-
come aGovernment scout. At the
battle of Indian creek he rode out in
front of the battle line and met Vel
low Hand. Cheyenne chief, who
challenged him to a knife duel. They
fought. Cody killed the chief. 81
He served with distinction as a
scout under Generals Custer, Crook,
Miles, Sherman and Merritt during
all the Indian wars, and was made
chief of scouts, with the rank of
colonel, near the close of the last
campaigns.
In 1888 he went East with his first
Wild West show, after he had been
a failure on the vaudeville stage.
His success with his outdoor offering
was instantaneous. He was a great
Snowman. He presented in a realis-
tic manner, not only to the people of
America, but to those of foreign
countries, the scenes and incidents in
the daily lives of the pioneers of the
early West.
In 1905 he formed a partnership
