STAMPEDE BALL
DRAWS HUGE CROWD
TO CODY TOWN
Annual Event Strikes High Record
in Attendance-Receipts Will Near
Thousand Dollar Mark

Another Stampede Ball has come
and gone, and the one held on
Friday night was attended by a re-
cord breaking attendance from all
over the state. In the neighbor-
hood of eight hundred tickets were
sold by the ticket sellers at the
door and the receipts from the bar
and check room will easily bring
the gross receipts to the thousand
dollar mark.
Similar to former events, both
the Trina bar room and the dining
room was filled to overlooking,
while hundreds of people lounged
in the Hobbies in the first and
second floors of the spacious hotel
building. Mr.. and Mrs. Newell lit
orally turned their holstery owe to
the Stampeders and Buffalo Bills
old hotel was a scene of hilarity
and genuine good fun such as is
seldom produced in a crowd as
large as the one assembled on
Friday evening.
Gene Dobbins and his gang of
j~azzers furnished the music in the
bar room, and Pat Harrison with
his company of music dispensers
pleased those who would dance in
the dining room. Music was fur
nished continually until about three
o'clock, when the crowd was dis
persed.
Behind the mahogany in the ia
nous old bar room of the Buffalo
Bill drink emporium, Jack Horisky
bedecked in western style with
characteristic Stetson, apd gun at
hip, passed u the cups of punch
Throughout the long evening. He
was assisted by a crew of able as
sistants and the demands were SO
heavy hat the punch bowl had to
be replenished at frequent inter
walls.
A committee of ladies served the
lunch and coffee, sandwiches, etc
in the dining room, and found
their delicious sandwiches going
rapidly to the ravenous crowd of
merry makers.
There was hardly a town in the
northern part of the state which
was not represented at the STAN
pede ball, and the people of the
Northfork and Southfork came in
almost a hundred per cent for the
occasion. Judge Metz arrived in
time to LEAD the grand march and
State Treasurer John Snyder, lock
ed the state vault, and hurried north
just in time to answer present"
when the roll was called. Other
prominent men were here from
S151nts in the basin, and there is
hardly a drummer who makes Cody,
out who made it a point to stop
over in Buffalo Bits town on Fri
day of last week.

Asserting that the Bureau of
Reclamation was the only one of
the twelve bureaus of the Interior
Department which seemed hopeless
two years ago, the Secretary point
ed out in his report that approx
mately 5000, 900 900 has been ex-
pended for reclamation projects by
the Government during the past
twenty years, an additional $50 900,
900 being required to complete
them. Continuing he said:
1.-THE Reclamation Fund, origin
ally intended to revolve or be fund
ed in ten years, has not revolved
in twenty years. Although the
appropriation of 100000 in
1908, repayment to the government
was only 9h per cent after twenty
years. Promises made twenty years
previously have not been kept and
we set about to discover the rea-
sons for it.
THE first step toward reclaim
ing reclamation was a complete re-
appraisal. "A fact-finding committe
