 It is the Buffalo Bill Museum, a reproduction of the old ranch home of Col. William Frederick Cody, built of logs from the nearby Shoshone forest and from stone quarried from the picturesque Shoshone Canyon to the west.
 Reared on q virgin mesa near the little town of Cody, named for it's founder, the museums location is in spot that the old scout himself might have selected.
 The mesa is traversed only by old game trails, now kept dusty by sheep and cattle on their way to the railroad across the Shoshone river.

 The museum was conceived by Mrs. Mary Jester Allen of New York q niece of Colonel Cody. It was dedi- cated last summer. after workers hammers had been stilled severa l times for lack of funds, and it was ''shacked up in the fall for a long Chinook tempered winter.
 Mrs Allen lives in the museum as caretaker and curator.
 Picturesque wearing apparel of Buffalo Bills early life vies for at tcntion with elaborate beaded and embroidered coats used in European arenas and in performances before Queen Victoria in her jubilee year.
 Most valuable of all the articles is :; buffalo hide bound book with illuminated hand lettering, present. ed to Cody by John Wanamaker and containing a speech by Gen. Nelson A. Miles at banquet in the colonels honor in New York.
