CATCHING MANY MGKELS

The cedar chest, the first coin
box started for the building of the
Buffalo Bill Museum, by Mrs. H. T.
Newell, about two weeks before the
coin boxes appeared in the various
stores, has been opened. One hun
dred and twenty-seven dollars and
seven cents was in Mrs. Newelrs
box. This large sum was collected
by Mrs. Newell, personally, who
made it a point to see all Irma
guests and to tell them of the
museum, the plans and the time of
opening, and to give folks an p
portunity to be part of the museum.
The very first coin put in the
chest was a fifty-cent piece. which
Mrs. Geneva Walker gave for the
three grandchildren of Col. Cody.
for whom she is guardian, Jane.
Frederick and Billy Carlow.
AS for the plan for the nickel
boxes, Mrs. Newell's box money
went to purchase logs for the TIE
building. These logs are now on
the site of the Buffalo Bill museum.

COUNTY TURKEYS
GO TO MASSACHUSETTS
Turkeys Marketed Best Ever
Birds from Here Improving

Six hundred and seven turkeys
were loaded at the Cody turkey
depot last week into the car of the
Big Horn Marketing association, and
started on their way to Worcester,
Mass, where they will be marketed
for the Thanksgiving trade. The
shipment included 33 barrels of No.
1 toms and 3 barrels of No. 1 hens.
Marketing conditions this year
are very good, a price of 38c be-
ing received for the No. 1 toms,
&c for No. L hens, ale for old
toms and CSC for culls. The No. 1
toms average a weight of 10. ga
lbs. per turkey and the hens 8 "
lbs. per turkey. The a will finish
loading at. Lowell.
Much improvement of the stock
and type of turkeys grown in the
Cody community is shown over that
of a few years ago when turkey
growing was practiced in a very
Indifferent manner. The first time

cal station from 23 to "a toms

are more of the farmers raising

established fact. The old Buffalo
Bill Memorial association has deed
ed a whole block of ground for the

ton to act with the president and
Mrs. Allen as a building committee.
Accordingly Mr.. Paul Greever was
asked and consented to serve. So
now the building committee is con-
stituted as follows: Mrs. Agnes b.
Chamberlain, president of the Buff
falo Bill Museum association; Mrs.
Mary Jester Allen, of the Cody
Family Memorial board, and Mr..

A STORY OF 1886.
Brave Bear Hunters of Mt. Desert
Island.

Brave Bear Hunters OF MT. Desert
Island.
Twas in Defenders dreary month,
Ille snow lay On the ground,
When by Asa Wasgatt, in the woods,
A track of bears was found.
Not being armed, he turned his back.
And told two other men.
Who soon, with him, were on the track
Which led them to the den
Hadley and Seavey were the two,
With Wasgatt and his son.
Who armed themselves for the pursuit
With axes, balls and gun.
They travelled for three long miles,
Ger mountains and thro' snow,
Determined if it were possible
To overtake the foe.
When to mountains craggy side,
This little band drew near,
Young Asa Wasgatt, he espied
The den, twas dark and drear.
Hadley first entered with his gun,
He had no room to spare
When two large eyeballs he beheld
III VI Is III anu IlIucOuS glare.
So little air was in the place
Ihat ne could scarce get breath,
But he shot his gun at the old one
And laid her low in death.
He next retreated from the den
To calm the others fears
But soon he entered in again
And took her by the ears.
Now Hadley's men outside the cave
In spite of mind and weather
Laid hold of Hadley by the heels
And hauled them out together.
But two fierce bears did yet remain
Within this gloomy cave
And when the torches were all lit
Young Wasgatt he proved brave.
| With torch in hand he sought the
bears
And found them in their lair
Then Hadley entered with his gun
And fairly killed the pair.
! The slaughtered beasts were all
| dragged out
And brought unto the town
And the brave men who did the deed
Did gain a great renown.
| Had this been done in ancient times
And by historians told
Not Putnam's courage would exceed
: This same adventure bold.

IN PEPPERMINT
Prosser Station Ready to
Furnish Data on a
New Crop

Farmers are generally anxious TO
try new crops. Oftentimes the pio-
neers in new crops receive extremely
high prices until their good fortune
causes overproduction by the neigh
boring farmers who also desire to
make money. Nevertheless, the more
varied the crops grown in any area
the greater will be the diversification
and consequently agriculture for that
area will be on sounder economic
basis.
In hopes of anticipating desire for
information regarding new crops the
Irrigation Branch Experiment Sta
ton at Prosser. is always ready to
| try any new crop showing possibili-
tiles Of becoming a money-maker for
the farmer. The newest crop under
observation at the station is pepper
mint. One-twentieth of an acre OF
English peppermint is being grown
this year. General observation will
Ibe made and the yield and quality
Of the peppermint oil will be deter

cfusively in Michigan and Indiana

of the extreme climatic setbacks to

oil-laden steam goes to condenser
which reduces the mixture to water

arates readily and rises to the top
The water is then drawn off and the
oil is ready for market.
