provements, now including natural
gas, also up-to-date business houses
and places Of amusement, remark
able mineral springs close by, and
all-year-round dude ranches, to-
gether with the constant develop
ment of its agricultural and livestock
resources, is reflecting itself in con-
stantly increasing property values.
The discovery of oil, on top of these
basic factors, may easily NEAR more
than appears on the surface.
Three hundred is in my judg-
ment a conservative estimate of
the number of people, men women
and children, who will be brought
in by Oregon Basin operators with
in the next few months, to say
nothing of the tremendous volume
of equipment and supply hauling,
all of which will come through
Cody. and this means hat with a
population of 1900 Cody will have
from the standpoint of business
volume a 20 per cent increase.
Practically all of the operators and
salaried men will want to make
their homes in Cody, and yet today,
- heo 1tiAAN oldIl-
ed there is not, 1 am told, a de-
sirable vacant house in Cody. and
5 the capacity of hotels and apart
ment houses is already being taxed.
1T was not my idea in acquiring
this Cody property to hold it for
J speculation but TO place it on the
market at once and give the people
of Cody a chance to show their
own confidence in their own town
and at the same time make an in
vestment which involves nc risk OF
loss and every possibility of large
returns. By taking the entire hold
ings of the land company in the
original townsite and first addition
it was possible to get a price which
means that these lots will be Of
fered at lower prices than similar
property has eve been purchased in
Cody for years, these prices rang
ing down to as low as 80 per cent
of the regular list prices which
have heretofore prevailed.
t Il have already had numerous
inquiries from outside for Cody
lots but 1 am going to give the
Cody people the first chance to take
them up. 1t goes without saying
that if local citizens do take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to the
!, extent of taking the majority or
these lots within the next week or
: two, it will constitute one of the
biggest and best advertisements the
town has ever had and will un-
+ q~uestionably attract widespread at
) tentlon. In fact, as a Cody proper
ty owner (for l expect to keep
some property here myself) 1 shah
make 1t a point to see that this
{ story of a town with faith in IT.
t self is given the publicity it win
deserve. Twenty of the lots in
t volved In this purchase have al
ready been sold to Cody peopJa
and l hope that at least SO mora
VIII be taken up locally in SHORT
order. This will call for an in
| yestment amounting to about one
' per cent of the bank deposits of
5 the city, and certainly Cody is
| worth investing in to that extent"
/ Mr.. Gail will be here for a few
2 days in connection with this sale.
: and has accepted an invitation to
: speak at the regular luncheon az
the Cody club Monday noon.

REFUSESRICHES
STAYS DEAD
By-M. r. 5DACEY
international News Service

DENVER, April s. "Tell them
I'm dead-and that I'm going to
stay dead. and buried"
That is the message John ].
ShackIeford sent his kin in Hardin,
Mo-, when he was notified of his
inheritance Of $4,000 land share
in the family homestead left him
by his mother.
Twelve years ago, Shackleford'E
father died. When his estate was
settled, John was left without a
cent. The years OF toll he had sac.
rificed on the 40-acre farm had
been ignored by his father.
Angry and bitter, John departed
from the parental roof, telling. his
grief-stricken mother and sister that
ne was going away ito die"
Years OF Search
Years of search by. private de-
tectiyes revealed no clue to the liv-
ing dead mans whereabouts.
Reports Of John Shackleford's
death came frequently to the wait
ing mother and sister. In San
Francisco. man had died-he was
thought to have been John J..
Shackleford. The bullet-torn bodies
of unknown American doughboys
were identified as Shackleford. A
wreck victim in Pittsburgh was
thought to be the missing man.
But the living Shackleford was
in Denver earning a meager pit
tance, staying ate a little hotel
where derelicts of industry spend
their winter grubstakes in near
penury and envy the luck of
Rockefeller and Henry Ford.
Last year, the aged mother died.
Half the estate, now increased in
value, was bequeathed to the faith.
full sister, half went to the man
who never was believed dead by his
mother.
Again the search for Shackleford
was renewed. The Rev. H. e. Cor
bin, pastor the Hardin Methodist
Church, sent to Denver in quest
Of the strayed member of his flock.
Intends to Stay Dead
Shackleford was located in the
mean little hotel, where he was
confronted with the news Of his in
heritance.
Anger blazed in the little mans
eyes as he recalled his leavetaking.
i've been dead IL years." he
said. "And / intend to stay dead"
The information that his Inherit
ance would, If unclaimed. go to the
county school fund did not shake
his determination to spurn the be-
quest. His cronies at the hotel, to
whom the news spread like wild.
fire, gaped open-mouthed at the
man who would reject an opportu.
nifty to live a life Of ease.
And so John j. Shackleford lives
on--a dead man by choice. But his
former friends in the little Missouri
town are trying to win him back
from his self-impOsed demise.
