Efforts were made to have the
opening date for muskellunge, pike

resort owners being behind the
movement. Numerous petitions
were sent to the fish and game com

With the doing away of the size

of the fisherman as TO what size fish
he shall take, The object of the
iize limit was to prevent the taking
Of small fish as conservation
measure, but the general opinion has
been that fish once hooked have
slim chance to live upon being re-
turned to the water. For this
reason, it is understood, the com
mittee recommended doing away
with the size limit.

limit or takes fish by other means

that the Sanitarium plan as promul-
gated by the members of the local
Aerie, have received the unqualified
Endorsement of many of the most in
fluential members of the +. o. Z.
throughout the country. The Com
mittee who have worked so hard and
faithfully on this matter, have re-
ceived ample assurance from Aeries
and from Canada to Mexico, that this
plan meets with their hearty approval
and endorsement, and that they will
work and fight ut the Grand Aerie in
Denver, for the adoption Of a resolu-
ton that will make such an institution
possible, and furthermore, n large
proportion of them have expressed
themselves as in favor of Cody for
the location of the first S~anitarium.
The hundreds of favorable letters
received by Secretary r. J. McGinnis
from these scattered Aeries, indicate
beyond n doubt that tn Eagles rs n

1t was a strenuous time all around
and an anxious one to be sure, but
now that the race is over and the re-
suits announced, everyone is pleased
and satisfied.
Naturally the greatest struggle was
for that handsome Dodge touring car

enormous figures, representing hun
dreds of new and renewal subscrip-

As a result The Enterprise covers
Park County and surrounding terri
tory with a blanket circulation-the

To those whose energy has carried
them through this campaign to sue

lest congratulations. We are proud
of the people who took part in this
competition and we hope that they,
who by the right of conquest, have
just claimed their reward will be
proud of the prizes won.

COST OF WYOMING GAST0WY0.
PEOPLE OUTRAGEOUS, SAYS
MEMBER 18th. LEGISLATURE
Something Wrong With Law Makers Who Permit
Such State Of Affairs-Both Gas And Sugar
Sell For Less In Omaha After
Paying Freight
(Hon. ]. D. Woodruff)

l suppose the people of Fremont
county, the state of Wyoming, and the
whole world for that matter are tired
of hearing about taxes, direct and in
direct, but there is one more item
in that line that seems so outrageous,
unreasonable and unjust to us of
Wyoming, that l would like to call at
tention to it. It's a tax that our leg
islators could easily have remedied if
they would, as almost all of the 9TH
er states adjoining us have done, and
it seems incredible that our last ses-
sion failed to act reasonably in that
way.
During the early part of the 18th
Legislature l received a letter from
Frank B. Sheldon of Riverton calling
my attention to the fact that Wyo-
ming made gasoline was selling
wholesale for less money in Omaha
than in Wyoming. Just think of it.
After paying freight to Omaha it
could be bought for less money than
we could buy it-gas made here in
Wyoming from our crude oil and we
were being held up in that way. 1t
was incredible. l could not believe it.
On investigation l found that Colo
RADIO, Utah, Nebraska and many 9TH
er states had laws prohibiting Chats
an evil word) such practice. So in
my ignorance of such things l did
not dream but our legislators would
be glad to act wisely, and relieve
people from the burden. In my
ignorance of the ways of modern legis
latures l supposed we were there to
pass just and equitable laws, such as
would protect the counties which we
were supposed to represent. 1 had
one of the best lawyers of the state
help me draft the bill SO as to have
it perfect and workable, and introduc-
ed it as House Bill No. 126. 1t i'm
mediately met with strong organized
opposition. 1t is not necessary to tell
you where the opposition came from.
1t is obvious and it won out, hands
down. One would not think that a
measure of that nature would be killed
in a Wyoming Legislature.

new YORK ARCHITECT
Tells OF PLANS FOR
BUFFALO BILL STATUE
Buffalo Bill Memorial Park Will
Have Sagebrush and Cactus,
But No Lawn

Mr.. Albert Ross, the prominent
New York Architect who has been in
Cody for the past two weeks, inspect
ing and making the preliminary sur
vey for the location of the site of the
Buffalo Bill Memorial statue, left last
week for his home, via Denver.
The site for the statue has been sell
ected by the Committee, two city
blocks, located west of the present
City Park having been secured from
the Lincoln Land Company, and this
selection has met with the hearty APP
proval of Mr.. Ross, who declared that
a more fitting location could not have
been chosen.
The scheme of the Park landscape
will confirm as nearly as possible with
the natural environment in having a
ledge of red or pink granite trans
planted to the park, in such n manner
that il will closely resemble a natural
formation, for the base of the heroic
statue.
The ledge or butte will be approxi-
mately IS feet high and a hundred
feet long. Native trees will be plant

the scout and plainsman.

above the ground level.

The successful subscription cam
paign just ended leaves one fly in the

]. d. Woodruff declares that the
only way he can be assured of a quiet
nights rest in Cody is to bring his
own camp outfit and set it up in
Riverside cemetery. When he retired
after the Satmpede Ball last fall six
fights took place in the corridor just
outside his key hole; then he came to
the Stampede and the SHORES of his
bedfellow, a lifelong friend from
Thermopolis, rendered him so des-
perate that he took his soogans and
went down to sleep on the front lawn
of the private residence where they
had lodging.
81 got along pretty well until the
worms and ants discovered me-" said
Mr.. Woodruff in relating his expert
ence, "but the latter dealt me all kinds
of misery once they located me-" He
added, dryly: 81 didn't so much mind
their filling up on me, if they hadn't
packed off their winters grub supply
Speaking for ourself, we are re-
lieved' to learn that the Whitney
statue of Buffalo Bill is to stand in
the sagebrush and not on a SNUG,
velvet lawn shaded by neat rows of
populars reminiscent of Keokuk, Iowa
or Lincoln, Nebraska. Although we
had not the courage to say so, we had
WINGED inwardly at the suggestion of
a statue of the kind in that setting.
1t had seemed to us inartistic and in
congruous but we had not hoped to
find anyone to agree with us, so we
are more than a little pleased that it
is the architects plan to place the
great statue of heroic size upon its
native granite in such a setting as we
had visualized.

While the prizes themselves were
remarkable for their value, there are
other considerations to be taken into
account. During this campaign those
who have participated have learned
much that will be of benefit to them.
They have made new and pleasant
acquaintance; they have formed
more correct ideas along business
lines, and most of them have develop
ed a sense of observation that will pay
future dividends.
The competition has been a splen-
did training and a valuable experience.
1t has taught among other things
that courage and perseverance are
the two most essential elements nee
cessary to overcome the obstacles in
ones path.
OF course it is inevitable that in a
campaign of this kind all the candi-
dates cannot win the prist prize. That
was an understood fact at the begin
min gof the race. And, right or
wrong, civilization seems to have ac-
cepted, and applied, natures rule of
"the survival of the fittest." To ac-
complish a given purpose a great a
mount of energy is necessary and
fortune seems to lavish her richest
gifts on those who are equipped to
carry out the mandates of ambition.
In conclusion we wish to say that
our relations with all the candidates
have been very pleasant indeed. They
in turn have wealt with an organiza-
ton that, to the best of its ability,
has made this campaign one long to
be remembered for wholesome charac
ter and fair dealings. 1t was a great
race and it leaves in bold relief that
cardinal virtue-ambition.
Under lock and seal the ballot box
remained in the vaults of the Sho-
shone National Bank during the en-
tire last week of the contest. At
noon Saturday the race was declared
closed. The judges lifted the box and
the count was Immediately made in
the directors room of the bank.
Awards were made by the judges at
the Enterprise office after the count
had been made according to the
statement appearing on this page.
