if it was only a Buffalo
nickle, and this hope is very nearly
fulfilled. Many have volunteered
money and. work for the building.
and a few have offered relics
which they possess. Early in No
vember a committee of ladies can
vassed the town for charter MEM
berships. but they were not able
to see nearly all who wish to give.
Between now and the first of Jan
uary it is hoped to see everyone
so that the list of charter members
will include practically
in the town and country. After
that time the charter membership
will close, SO it is hoped by the
officers of the association hat any
one who is missed In the solicita-
ton will send their contribution to
either Mrs. Newell, the treasurer,
or to Mrs. Chamberlin, the presi-
dent of the local association.
The officers of the association
feel especially grateful to the ladies
who did the first soliciting, notably
to Mrs. Newell who put on the cam
paign at the schools to have each
child give a Buffalo nickle, and
who through diplomacy and good
management had the latest Buffalo
nickle box of any of those placed
in the business houses around town.
Mrs. Ned Frost did double duty, for
while she and Mrs. Parks thorough
ly worked their long street in town.
she then with Mrs. Thurston went
over to North Cody and collected
a good sum there. Mrs. Peake and
Mrs. Walker had a long street and
covered it thoroughly and turned
in an excellent report as well as
a good sum of money. Mrs. r. w
Allen brought in the most money,
but her street was more thickly
populated and she did not have
to put in so much time walking.
The other ladies who assisted in
this drive inc who did excellent
work Were Mrs. J.. M. Schwoob,
Mrs. Howard Bell, Mrs. ]. N. Lang
worthy, Mrs. F. F. MCGEE, Mrs.
Hammond, Mrs. Geo. T. Beck and
Mrs. Henry Pool.
The building of the Museum is
attracting attention far and near,
and many articles about it are ap-
pearing in the eastern papers as
well as the press in Wyoming. The
large cut of the building which ap-
peared in the Enterprise two weeks
ago has been asked for by the ed
itor of the Riyerton Review, and
has started or its rounds over the
state. Wherever the name Buffalo
Bill has been heard of, and that
is practically everywhere, people are
interested in the effort his home
town is making to keep his memory
green. The foundation for the
building is all in and paid for,
entirely with the money raised by
the ladies last month. Every bill
has been promptly met, and will
continue to be, as everyone con-
nected with 1t is in earnest about
getting the museum ready to open
with the opening of Yellowstone
Park next June.
Following is a list of those who
have given or pledged up to this
time. There will be a supplement
