TRIBUTE In VERSE

Miss NJ. E. Bork of Boone. Iowa.
who visited Cody and the park
during the summer. has written the
following tribute in verse" to Cody
and it's friendly spirit. Miss Bork
is a cousin of Mrs. G. A. Holm.
Where the West Really Is
My thoughts go back to Cody-town.
The place of Buffalo Bills renown;
Where the rugged snow-capped
mountains rise,
Proclaiming to man: Lift up your
eyes,"
Where the Shoshone river swiftly
flows,
And the red Indian paint brush
grows;
Where the air is pure and the sky
is clear,
So clear that at night the stars
seem near;
Where friendly greeting is bestowed
On the traveller along the road;
Where the welcome is hearty, the
hand clasp strong,
Where the wanderer halts and oft
'tarries long;
I know not where the West begins,
but l know this;
Cody is 1.-The Place Where the
West Really Is"
