make every effort to be present at

81 recently purchased through the
wholesale house that furnished Pom
cho Villa his harnesss and saddles for
his exposition and rebellion in Mexi-
co, a saddle which they made for him.
1t is without a doubt the most gor-
geous thing you ever laid your eyes
on, both in workmanship and trim
mings. They made this saddle with
too short n tree Cor his use and it
was returned for remodeling, and was
in their factory when he was assas-
sinated, and rather than take a chance
on not getting their money for it from
his estate, they held it and incidental
ly l was the victim, and if it SO hap
pens that / am not fortunate enough
to be with you this next celebration,
l wish to have the pleasure of send
ing it on to you. and have you ride
it for me in the parade. But 1 think
without doubt l will be there, and if
so l will frankly admit that l am sell
fish enough to want to ride it myself"

WHAT'S WRONG With
CODY'S CAMP GROUND?

Water titled Touring Aemrica in a
Flivver," published in the March issue
o fthe Ladies Home Journal contained
the following paragraph:
"Issachar's (the flvver) passengers
have no mental picture remaining of
Hood River, Oregon, but they will
continue to praise it for the sake of
the loveliest camp ground in which
they halted. So they will think kind
ly for ever after of Plymouth, Indi-
ana; Marshalltown. Iowa; Omaha and
Cheyenne and will remain steadfast in
their convictions that Geneva. Illinois,
and Cody, Wyoming, are unpleasant
towns. OF the communities themsel-
yes they have small recollections, but
they remember the auto camps"
This is evidence that a town is
known to a tourist by its campground
and also that a good campground is a
valuable asset to any town that is
frequented by tourists.
The refernce to Cody in Mr.. Van
de Waters article was brounght to
the attention of the Cody Club and it
was decided to correspond with this
gentleman in an effort to find III just
what was the matter with Cody's
campground. A letter written by Mrs.
A. b. Chamberlin. in which she asked
that he state frankly exactly what wa
wrong, brought the following reply:
"Dear Mrs. Chamberlain:
"Your pleasan letter is so obviously
a request for frank information con-
corning what formed my opinion of
Cody's tourist camp, that l am going
to be entirely candid in telling YOU.
We eamped in four Wyoming towns
Cheyenne, Rawlins, Riverton and
Cody. We found your camp much the
least pleasant of the four.
ave spent the night of July 9th
there . We found the camp tremend-
ously overcrowded. The cooking ia
cilities were inadequate, and the toilet
facilities were even more so. All this,
of course, may be due to the newness
ef the camp, of which you speak. Not
knowing Of this when we were there
it was inevitable that we should form
an ~unfavorable opinion.
"As for the courtesy and attention
to which you refer. neither my wife
o i recall any evidence of it. Those
officials of the camp with whom we
came in contact seemed abrupt and
irritable. In fact. they seemed more
like New Workers than residents of
Wyoming. This, of course, was prob
ably due to the overcrowding of the
camp which taxed all facilities, imper-
sonal and human.
"Your letter has made us both feel
more kindly toward Cody.
Sincerely,
Frederick f. Van de Water"
1t is unfortunate that outsiders
should form such an unpleasant opin-
ion of Cody. and on the other hand
it is well that it has been called to the
attention of the Cody Club. 1t is
Cody's aim to treat the tourist with
the utmost courtesy and make him as
comfortable as possible while here
that he may leave feeling that he had
been given a cordial welcome.
1t is the intention of the oCdy Club
to make Cody's campground one of
the best, and with forty acres of
ground on the new site the crowded
condition Of which MI. Van de Water
speaks will certainly be eliminated.
We sincerely hope that his next visit
to Cody will be more pleasant and
that he may leave with n good word
for Buffalo Bills home town.
