TOO the most-visited grave in the world.
This Is the way Of 1T: The city and
county OF Denver have established the
Denver Mountain parks lying between
the city and the peaks of the cont

the cost has been SAT-, $50: there are

tain. and is easily reached by II road
that turns out at the Golden reservoir
ON the summit. Close by the grave
the city has established Buffalo Bill
museum. In the summer of 1921 ap-
proximately 100000 visitors entered
the gates of the Denver Mountain
parks. OF these visitors about one
quarter was from other states. Most
of these out-ofthe-state visitors
stopped to see the grave and the mu-
scum. So much for the present.
The tourist business of the scenic
West Is increasing tremendously year
10y year. Denver is geographically the
gateway to this scenic West with its
twelve national parks and thlrty-two
national monuments. 1t Is the starting
point of the National Park to-Park
highway. Most visitors to Denver in
the summer drive through the Denver
Mountain parks. So, as the tourists
grow in numbers, the visitors to Buff
falo Blll's Graves will Increase.
The Buffalo Bill museum on Look
out mountain was opened to the pub
lie last Memorial day. The park Off
clals report that it, In connection with
Buffalo Bill's grave, has proved to be
the most popular feature of the noun
tain parks this last summer.
Pnhaska Tepee is the official name
of the Buffalo Bill museum. The name
is well taken. "Phhaska" Is the name
given Buffalo Bill by the Sioux In
duns. The word means Long Hair"
The building is typically mountain
style in construction. Within it are
housed the personal relics aud collec-
possible through the interest and gen
erosity of his widow, Mrs. Louisa NJ
Cody, to whom nearly the whole collec-
tIon belongs. And the crowning touch
of the museum is the fact that Johnny
Baker is In charge of it-yes the very
same worlds champion shotgun and
rifle shot who was Buffalo Bill's right

Grows Novel Melons
And Four-Inch Peanuts

G. H. Walker has grown an an
usual variety of watermelon ON his
home lot on Forrest street in Ameri-
Gus, which is not only beautiful to
look at but has most excellent fla
vor.
Saturday Mr.. Walker brought one
of these melons to the office of the
Recorder, where it remained
for two days and was the admiration
of visitors.
The seeds were brought from En-
mis-, Texas, and produced a melon of :
good size and rich green color
Graduated yellow spots covering the 5
surface of the melon gave it the
name of the "moon and star melon'',
the spots forming a fine reproduce
ton of the sun, moon and stars oon
the armament of green. Some of the
spots are as large as a silver dollar,
with others about half as large. Still
others are smaller. E se sng.
The meat of the melon is rich,
deep cream, almost the color of the
spots on the outside surface, and ]
the flavor is very sweet.
Mr.. Walker has only small space :
devoted to the culture of the melon,
this year, but may give more room
to the growth another season.. He
likes to experiment with unusual va.
rieties, and now has in process of
maturity some peanuts measuring :
three and four inches in length, with
four kernels to the shell. When these
mature he will have some of the pea )
nuts on display in a prominent place.,
in the city in order that others may
see the product. The seeds Of thisss
variety of peanut were also sent him
from Texas. aaah
