The Builders
(Editorial)

(Editora)
Now that the Cody Buffalo Bill Museum is a reality, the
building finished, something should be said to the credit of those
whose efforts played such a large part in its building. The
dedication ceremony was with pomp and ceremony, and was
splendid. The setting was ideal and attractive thanks to the
executive, Mr.. Robertson, master of ceremonies, had everything
arranged in an orderly and well planned way.
I'M bringing the Buffalo Bill museum into an actuality, the
greatest credit must go to Mary Jester Allen, niece of the late
scout and a most active worker for the statute to the west of
Cody and later for the Museum. 1t was Mrs. Aliens creative
ability that got the thing started, and it is to be her part to
administrate the building during the years when is will need
every kind of assistance to develop the character of a museum
which will be most interesting. p
However there are many others to whom due credit should
go. First to George Chase, the architect. Mr.. Chase is associat-
ed with II. f. Bell in his engineering offices, and made the plans
for the museum, which were followed to the letter, and which de-
veloped the beautiful building as the replica of the famous TIE
group. Next comes the builder, Fred Gail. No one will know
OF the trials he underwent in bringing forth the museum build
ing from a pile of rough logs. None will know how hard his
task in creating a, building for an association which itself was
but in the making, yet we all know that his work was well done
The building is a masterpiece and will rebound much credit in
years to come both to its architect and to it's builder.
There are many others to whom much credit is due for the
Buffalo Bill museum. To all those who gave of their time and
money, at committee meetings and in sending out literature to
those who might be interested. None worked harder at this
nor whose interest in the museum carried greater weight than
Mrs: Agnes ChamberEn. She was the first president of the
local museum board, and with Mrs. Allen did much of the pre-
lmlnary work for the museum
The Cody Museum is to be a SPLENDID asset of the town of
Cody! 1t is to be a place where everyone will be glad to take
their friends and guests.
Surely in the years to come all will be rewarded in knowing
that their work was not in vain, and that they played at least
a small part in the building of one of the most decided attrac-
lions OF the West, a memorial to Col. VIM. F. Cody, the scout.

Apart from The fact that he was
famous as a scout. / believe Col.
Cody preferred to be recognized as
a builder in this new country, and
1t is as a public spirited builder
that his memory should be COM
memorated. He came to Wyoming
when 1t meant taking a chance and
by one OF those strange Condolences
he began development along a Esa
that was to mean much to the
reclamation of the state. What
he actually did in reclamation was
not so important in extent. but it
was vastly important because of the
spirit in which it was entered into.
1t was his privilege to initiate de-
velopment in the Big Horn basin.
While many people have made mon
ey in Wyoming and taken 1t else
where to invest. Col. Cody made
his money in other states and
brought 1t here to develop the coun-
try. He poured 1t out with a lavish
hand. He made money in a ~princely
way and expended 1t in the same
royal fashion. He was responsible
for the larger part of the reclama-
ton that has made the Big Horn
basin what it is today. And we

Eighth Annual Cody Stampede Greatest
Show Held Attendance Records Broken
Three Full Days of the Old West-Broncho Busting Roping and Bull
DIGGING by Best Talent of the West Mondays Attendance
Record Breaker

The eighth annual Cody Stampede concluded it's three-day
program here tonight, with one of the greatest shows ever
win be had anywhere in the west. The programs for the entire
three days were good, the riders coming out of the chutes on
the saltlest broncs ever put under leather, the fleet footed
calves taxing the powers of the ropers from the range to the
utmost and the long-horned Mexican steers fighting to the
last bit of their strength in contests with the bulldoggers.
~ StiIings Champion Rider
To Lloyd Stelings goes the championship for the saddle
bucking, and besides the many prizes, cash and otherwise which
with all entry fees paid to events there. Ernest Hussman
got second in saddle bucking and Bill Kennah third. The riding
at the finals was high class and taxed the ability of the Judges
to make the awards.
Winsor Wins Roping
Jim Winsor won the calf ropng championship for the Cody
show with a three day total of 131 seconds. His time for
the three days was AZ, 43, and 46 seconds. Harold Hogan and
A. c. Burgess tied for second honors in this event.
Lee Farris Bulldogger
To Lee Farris, stellar rodeo performer, went the top money
Tor the buldoggng events. Farris did some good work on the
first day. Jim Winsor placed second in the bulldogging events
and Archie Campbell took third money.
Record Crowds
The eighth annual Stampede shattered all previous records
Tor attendance when on Monday the grand stands, bleachers and
every bit of standing room was taken, and MANY we're
turned away at the gate for lack of seating capacity. The Wis
the little COW town was aswarm with visitors and rodeo perform
es. Monday noon the streets were almost impossible due to
the heavy traffic. Then it rained. 1t rained for a half to
three-quarters OF an hour, just a typical mountain shower, and
as the clouds cleared away, nothing daunted, the show went on.
and seemingly few were discouraged from attending the first
days performance.
Hammond, arena boss, went forward in a snappy and well
directed manner. The events were called in order and the
roping and buldogging was the best ever witnessed here. Three
calves were sent from the chutes and roped in much less than
a minute, and the bundoggers were equally able to do their
stunts to the pleasure of the people in the grandstands.
Tuesdays and Wednesdays programs were also verv good.
The track events, both Indian and other races were po1d this
year, and some fast time was recorded by the saddle stock

days events, and on Wednesday
the presentation of the beautiful
silver cup. the trophy presented by
the Stetson Hat company, was made
by Dave Jones of the Dave Jones
Store. The standing race is a stel-
lar attraction and all of the entries
proved themselves masters at this
sport.
Wolfville Popular
That Wolfville has lost none OF
its popularity over the period OF
years which it has been n part of
the Stampede, was evidenced by
the great attendance there each
evening. With the huge pavilion
packed almost to capacity each ev-
ening with dancers, all of the stunts
here seemed most popular and the
tired but joyous Stampeder played
his Wolfville currency on the row.

utmost abandon and after losing a
million or two would take another
thousand bucks and dance his
troubles away to the strains of the
Stampede orchestra. Wolfville was
a Wow, and the boots, howls, and
ki-kies could be heard ringing out
over the town into the wee hours
of another day.
Riddles Enjoy Merry-Go-Round
Another real attraction of the
Stampede this year. at least one
close to the hearts of the kiddies,
vas the merry-go-round, which was
located across from the Red Top
Filling station, and which run each
evening and afternoon. Although
this style of a merry-go-rsund was
popular several centuries ago, the
horses were still to get about the
circle tand even to wiggle a bitl
and the music box still continued
to omit doleful sounds intended for
music. However the kids got al
most an equal amount of kick that
they would from a better equipment
and the attraction made the SIAM
pede most complete for the little
folks.

with a bang seldom brought out at
former Stampedes. and the big
arena was alive with interests from

BEDBUGS WIN TITLE
Nick Gilrs Team Captures Senior Volley Ball Championship Of Boys Club League.

The Bedbugs. explained by Nick Gill, captured the senior volley ball championship of the Boys club last night by defeating the Lice in straight games. When the league finished a week ago Nick Gill's Bed- bug array was tied for first place with the Lice, explained by Joe Golf ia. On the following evening an ef- fort to play off the tie and decide the title was made, but it resulted in failure when the ball blew up under the strain at the conclusion of the first game. The Bedbugs had won that game, 15-4.
 All week the rivalry grew more and more bitter between the two teams, the interest being enhanced by the fact that Superintendent Dwight Skinner was a member of the Bedbugs and Physical Director Raynard Anderson a player on the Lice. Last night the teams resumed battle. but the match did not last long. for the Bedbugs again were victorious. this time by 15-11.

GIVE SOME REASONS FOR ABANDONING TENNIS TOUR
Baldwin Baldwin of California State Why Lcnglcn's Court Circus
 Was Cancelled

Nice. France. May IS R-Exag- | gerated ideas by amateurs of their earning capacity. lack of suitable tennis grandstands, the heavy ex- pense of transportation, living con- ditions, and a general lack of in- terest in professional tennis are some of the reasons given by Bald win Baldwin. of California, for the abandonment of the continental tour of Suzanne Lenglen.
 "Chief of all," Mir. Baldwin said In a statement to the Associated Press 'is the fact that I saw the impossibility of making even bare expenses. I believe Europe is not yet ready for professional tennis. Firstly, amateur players demanded eXorbitant salaries for turning pro- fessional; then. it seems to be the idea that higher than top-rate prices should be paid for courts for pro- fessional use. and my scouts found no great feeling of warmth for the proposed exhibitions"

Suzanne Lcnglen. in state ment to the Associated Press sever al days ago. making known that her European tennis tour had been abandoned. said she expected to fill her English engagements as ar ranged. She gave no explanation as to why the tour had been called off, and asserted that nothing definite had been decided as to her future plans. There has been talk, how ever. of her opening a tennis school at Cannes next year.
