LET'S BE FAIR AND BROAD MINDED
(Editorial)

The business men of Cody have become thrown in to a
controversy over the location of the auto tourist park. There
are practical locations in both the east and west ends of town.
The business men who profit most by its location in the west
end OF town are for the west location. The business men who
see a more liberal patronage by the tourists if the location is
moved to the east end of town are for locating it there, At
the present time the lines are drawn very close and the Cody
Club, which sponsors and administrators the camp ground, is
being threatened with an internal strife which if permitted to
continue, will mean nothing less than the destruction of this
civic organization.
The Herald is making a plea to the business men of Cody
to be fair. To not allow a question of this character to dis
band this local organization. The location of the permanent
campground must be settled sometime, and it seems that a
group of men of the calbre that make up the Cody Club
should be able to get together and reach an amicable agree
ment as to where the camp shall be located. If it is a matter
of majority rule, that method of deciding should be recognized
as a fair one. Let's put the camp ground where the majority
of the business houses decide. Let majority rule in this con-
troversy, and when the decision is made, let's forget the sub
ject, and all turn in to make the town a bigger and better one
to live in.
We should be fair and broad minded on this camp ground
question. If we are not permitted to have our way by a ma
jority of the Club, we should take our medicine like men and
turn our endeavors to the developing of the site which is
chosen into the best possible tourist park possible for the
entertainment of our summer friends. If every one is a good
sport, and is willing to let the majority rule in this controversy
it can easily be settled in a friendly spirit, and the work of
the Cody Club permitted to go on without the slightest hitch.
We believe the business men of Cody are big enough and
broad enough to handle this problem, and to handle it in a
manner which will in no wise disrupt the harmony of the bus
mess life of Cody. 1t can be accomplished that way if the
proper spirits shown, and we believe the Cody people can doit.

STORES MAKING
REDUCTION in PRICES

The last few weeks have been
real bargain days in Cody. The
local stores, in an effort to clean
their stocks before invoicing and
to weed out some of their short
lines, have been making prices on
merchandise which cannot help but
attract those who are looking for
real values.
The Dave Jones store started the
sales Immediately after January list
with a slashing of prices amounting
to about one-half on suits, over
coats and various other lines of
gents furnishings. The Cody Trad
ing Company is also making at
tractive prices in their clothing de-
partment. The Variety Store is
holding a January sale with several
novel features and this week the
Volckmer Shop announces ladies'
millinery, coats and dresses, as well
as other lines, at reductions of one
half, one-third and one fourth off.
The prices which are being made
are not just ordinary sale prices,
but represent cuts in prices up to
fifty per cent, and those who buy
will be able to make their dollars
go twice as far as they would under
person will do well to read The
Herald ads and take advantage of
these January sales.

NAME AND FAME OF CODY
TO GO DOWN In HISTORY

During the life of Colonel Will
liam Frederick Cody buffalo Bid
it is said that no mar in the world
had such universal popularity.
He was known the world over and
had numberless imitators, would-be
scouts, followers and self adopted
relatives. Doubtless all this came
from the amazing personality of the
man and his story-book adventures
in colorful scenes that could be
stage set but once in a world time.
To protect and preserve the name
and fame, especially that of the
last and chief of scouts, Colonel
Cody, the Cody family has recently
been incorporated.
The Cody family takes in all &C
tual members of the family and
takes in all kindred by blood and
birth. 1t is organized It this time
so that the founders can be the
closest relatives of the Scout Cody,
and so that the story may be hand
ed down as coming from the mouths
of those who know.
The plan of the Cody family was
worked out some years ago by Col
onel Cody himself, his younger sis
ter and ~biographer, Helen Cody
Wetmore, and Mary Jester Allen,
daughter of Mrs. Wetmore and niece
to Colonel Cody. Mrs. Wetmore's
death and that of the Colonel so
shortly followed by a series of
deaths in the Cody family, put off
the real steps leading to incorpora-
ton.
Now, the time most o%portune, the
Cody family is an accomplished fact.
Mary Jester Allen, the founder, has
been able through all family chan
nels to bring into cooperation the
various members of the family and
a e a organization has been found
ed that will hand on to the coming
generations the true story of the
beginnings and the facts of the
brave deeds of pioneering.

RECLAMATION BODY
NOT CREDIT AGENCY
MEAD LETTER SAYS
NO FURTHER BLANKET RELIEF
MAY BE EXPECTED

No further blanket relief measures
the benefit of rs reclamation
projects. embracing 1892, 900 acres
in western states can be expected
from the reclamation bureau, Recla-
nation Commissioner Mead declared
in a communication read at a con-
ference of representatives, of farmers
and water users of all western states
and government officials of the rec
lamation bureau held in Denver.
The conference was the first step
in carrying out the provisions of the
new reclamation act.
This meeting" Commissioner
Mead explained in his message. was
prompted by a desire to secure the
advice and recommendations of
many of those who will either par
ticipate actively in the surveys to
be made or whose interests will be
vitality effected.
Il wish to call attention to the
unmistakable intention of congress
that operation and maintenance
charges hereafter accruing must be
paid without delay or extension.
Under the new law such charges
must be paid in advance in all cases
where adjustments are made on old
projects or where new projects are
initiated"
After pointing out that the recla-
nation bureau was o. created as a
credit agency Commissioner Mead
in his communication said:
81 do not believe that we should
contemplate any further measures
for blanket reliefs to projects. What
ever relief is extended should be
individual in character and adjust
ed to meet the needs of each case"
Surveys will be made of the gov
eminent projects with a view to
r~eadjusting construction costs owed
to the government by settlers or
water users. Mr.. Mead gave it as
his desire and hal of Secretary
Work that all adjustments necessary
to render it possible for payments
to be made by the water users will
be made under these surveys anil
thus mark the end of adjustments

The contention which arose on
Monday was due to the fact that
the Buffalo Bill Memorial commit
tee was unable at that time to
make any definite proposal for the
use of two blocks west of the pros
n city park and schoolhouse. This
tract has been mentioned as a pos
sible site for the enlargement of the
present c~ampground, and until it
is know definitely hat 1t can, Or
cannot, be used for a tourist park,
the club seemed unwilling to vote
the new location.
Clay Tyler, chairman of the Buf-
falo Bill Memorial committee, re-
ported that he had been unable to
secure a meeting of his commit ,e
during the past week, but felt that
a definite decision could be reached

STATE LEGISLATURE
CHOOSING EXECUTIVES

Up to the time of going to
press today no word has been
received from Cheyenne as to
the choice of a president for
the senate or who was to be
the ultimate choice of the Wy
Oming Legislators for speaker
of the house.
Senator Harry Free of Cas-
per seems to be the popular
choice for president of the sen-
ate, although Frank Horton
of Buffalo and Louis Brown OF
Rock Springs are being con-
sidered. A deadlock between
the latter two named seemed
to give the odds to Senator
Free.
In the house things are diff
ferent. j. C.. Underwood has
been acknowledged as the one
man for this responsible posi-
ton and il is very unlikely
that any other will be con-
sidered. 1t is thought that
the organization will be COM
pleted today and the Eigh-
teenth Wyoming Legislature
will be in readiness to receive
the message from Wyoming's
first lady governor, Mrs. Nellie
TaylOe Ross.

For the third time the matter of voting on the site for the
