HIS EOERYDAY LIFE
"Si" Riddle, Who Spent Seven
Months as Colonel Cody's
Neighbor, Tells Some Ilowdy
dos About "the Press Agent
of the West"
Among Harrisburg residents who
knew Colonel Cody and are familiar
with the Wyoming home of the Col
onel is Silas S. Kiddle, editor of pub
lication, of the Department of Labor
and Industry. Mr. Kiddle spent seven
months in 1914 on the cattle ranch
of Samuel Aldrich adjoining the ranch
of Colonel Cody in Northwestern
Wyoming. The following description,
given by Mr. Riddle, of the Colonel's
home country and its people contains
a number ot anecdotes regarding the
Colonel.
ItufTulo Hill's llomc
About forty miles, by rocky stage
coach trail, west of the little town of
Cody, Wyoming, is the T E ranch,
which Colonel Cody loved to term as
"home." Throughout Wyoming it is
known as the "T E"—the letters
branded on all the Colonel's cattle,
horses and mules that roam the graz
ing country surrounding the ranch
house and buildings and the 64 0 wire
fence enclosed acres, under irrigation
for the raising of oats und alfalfa for
the winter feeding of some of the
more select stock.
Colonel Cody was the founder of
the town which bears his name, h
delighted to tell of his first vision from
the Rig Horn Mountains of the broad
Hat plain, five thousand feet above
sea level, where he later established
the settlement which is known as one
of the most picturesque ineccas for
tourists seeking fast fading evidences
of the wild west as it used to be.
Hotel Named For Daughter
The center of attraction in the town
of Cody is the Irma Hotel built by
the Colonel and named for his daugh
ter. In the lobby a massive rough
stone fireplace comprises the greater
part of one wall. From above the
heavy stone mantel stands out a
grotesque whitened skull of a buffalo
with the horns intact.
The house is literally filled with
paintings and original drawings deal
ing with western scenes. Many of
Frederick Remington's best known
western pictures hang, in the original
copies, in the Irma. Autograph photo
graphs of the late P. T. liarnum and
many other celebrities, not excluding
former presidents of the United States
and rulers of foreign realms are in
cluded in the mural decorations.
Great Spinner of Yarns
It was always at the Irma Hotel
that the Colonel held forth at Cody.
He was a great spinner of yarns and
for hours would keep his listeners al
ways enthralled and frequently con
vulsed.
"I was visiting my daughter at a
young ladies' boarding school one
time." once narrated the Colonel, "and
1 was corralled with the others at a
concert one evening. A young man,
evidently an instructor in the school
took the platform to sing a tenor solo.
He started to sing about 'ten thousand
foes arise.' His voice went bad and
he started to cough. He got as far
as the 'ten thousand foes' the second
time and again his voice broke. He
was game all right and I pitied him,
so just before he started his third trial
I called to him: 'Pardner your 'way
outnumbered. If you can manage to
reduce those foes by a couple of thou
sand I don't mind unlimbering my
guns and helping you out of your
difficulty.' " The Colonel did not say
whether his offer was accepted.
He'd Throw Up llis Job, Too
It was from Cody and adjacent
territory that the Colonel recruited
virtually all of the bronco riders, rope
twirlers and sharp shooters that ac
companied him with his show through
every State in the Union and to for
eign countries.
"My heart went out to one poor
bronc' twister after the voyage across
the Atlantic," once said the Colonel.
"He was a horseman through and
through and could ride any pitching
bronc' in the outfit. I did not see him
on deck all the way across to Europe.
When we landed I asked him where
ho had been and what was his
trouble? He frankly answered: 'Col
onel, 1 will ride anything you got in
the outfit without pullin' leather, but
the pitchin' of that bout plumb threw
me. I threw up everything I had ct
for (wo weeks back and if I had been
back in the old U. S. A. I'd a threw
up my job, too.' "
Press Agent of the West
But the Colonel was genuinely a
part of the western country. He has
been called the press agent of the west
and his personality has doubtlessly
done more to attract easterners to the
plains and western cities than the
widely quoted advice of Horace
Greely.
Many eastern millionaires, artists,
writers and hunters of world fame
visited the Colonel in his Cody home.
In the fall of 1913, the Prince of
Monaco, with a retinue, came from
his far off Monte Carlo province, to
hunt grizzlies and elk in the Shoshone
range of the Rockies that lie to the
west of the town of Cody.
Bet You a Million Gates
About four years ago, Charlie Gates,
eastern millionaire, best known for his
"bet you a million" slogan, came to
Cody by special car. While there he
hunted in the surrounding mountains
and later, bewildered even the resi
dents of Cody by paying off church
debts, buying three-hundred-dollar
'coon skin overcoats for western char
acters, who pleased his fancy, and
even leasing, for one night, Cody's
lone movie show for the jubilation of
the youngsters of the settlement. It
was stated that Gates was so pleased
with the town of Cody that he in
tended building a home there but he
was suddenly stricken and died in his
private car on a siding at the Cody
station and thus was ended his first
and only visit.
Three times a week the stagecoach
leaves Cody to 1 ravel westward along
the south fork of the Shoshone River
past the T E ranch of Colonel Cody.
The north and south forks of the
Shoshone merge a few miles west of
Cody. Along the course of the north
fork is the eastern approach to the
Yellowstone Park. A well kept coach
road lends along ihe north branch of
the stream into the park and at the
park boundary is an inn formerly
conducted by Colonel Cody and known
as Paliaska Teepee. The south fork
road can hardly be called well kept,
it ends in a narrow trail in a mass of
almost impassable peaks that rise to
ten thousand feet and form the
natural eastern boundry of the Yel
lowstone Park.
Traveling along this road, after sev
eral hours out of Cody, past nearby
foot hills and rolling country, hemmed
In on two sides by high ridges, one
finally comes to a high open plain
from whleh one can look down upon
the Cody ranch.
Stickler Fop Neatness
The buildings are low nnil of lopr
construction, carefully whitewashed,

neatness nnd nttraotlve appearances.

tain snows, flows by the ranch and is
filled with grayling and trout. A
magnificent grove of cottonwood trees
is adjacent to the ranch buildings.
Under a low shed to the east of the
house stand three time-worn stage
coaches of the olden days, each prob
ably with a history. They are now
falling into decay and are mainly nest
ing places for the hens that live at
random about the ranch buildings.
About a hundred yards from the
ranch house stands Colonel Cody's
new barn, about 110 feet long by 40
feet wide. It is carefully constructed
entirely of logs and when finished in
March of 1914 was the scene of a real
western dance which attracted neigh
bors of the ranch within a radius of
fifty miles.
A Real Western Dance
Virtually all of the dancers—cow
boys, ranch owners, women and girls
—rode to the ranch on ponies and
danced until daylight, enjoying mean
while a dinner of gigantic proportions,
served at the orders of the colonel.
The dancing was continued until dawn,
mainly for the reason that few persons
in that western country desire to ride
the trails in darkness. Consequently,
all Wyoming ranch dances continue
until daybreak. There were one hun
dred and eight persons, by actual
count, who partook of the hospitality
of the colonel on that occasion. He
had given carte blanche orders to
Billy Goodfellow, the English man
ager of the ranch, and Mrs. Goodfel
low to "do it right," and the cow
punchers all vociferously agreed that
it was so done.
Adjoining this massive barn are the
corrals, the breaking pens, where Wild
West shows are frequently staged to
little groups of critical cowpunchers
in the work of making saddle horses
out of the raw material.
The western half of the low ranch
house is Colonel Cody's private quar
ters. They are always ready for him,
day and night, and he so found them
whether the intervals between his
visits were days, weeks or months.
When the Picture Was Taken
In the main living room of the
colonel's quarters is the inevitable
stone fireplace. The walls are covered
with curios picked up in a busy and
curious mixture of life varying from
the open plains of America to the high
court circle:) of Europe. One large
framed photograph in the room that
Billy Goodfellow, the English ranch
manager, once called to the attention
of a Pennsylvanian showed the entire
Wild West aggregation of Buffalo
Bill's show lined up before a massive
building of stone.
"There is a picture," said Billy,
"that was taken in Rome."
"How do you know?" he was asked.
"I think I heard the colonel say so,"
replied Billy.
RAILROAD RUMBLES
MORE SOFT COAL
THAN ANTHRACITE
Reading Shipments Show Rec
ord Figures; Come From
West and South
The bituminous tonnage of the I
Rc.'iding Railway keeps on increasing j
and now far exceeds the shipments of
anthracite from its own mines. The
shipments of bituminous via the Read
ing from the different soft coal fields
for 11 months of 191 fi shows a total
of 17,319,111 gross tons, while the
anthracite shipments for the entire
year of 1916 were 12,842,731.
The bituminous coal comes from the
Clearfield, Western Pennsylvania and
West Virginia fields. All of this is de
livered to the Reading at Shippens
burg, Harrisburg and Williamsport.
Coal for Steel Company
The great bulk is delivered from the
West Virginia mines. Much of this
fuel goes to the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany.
The wonderful growth of industrial
establishments in the Schuylkill Valley
the past few years has greatly stimu
lated the sale of bituminous. Years
ago many of the industries used an
thracite, but very little is used to-day
because of the high cost. Thousands
of fons of bituminous are consumed
in this city every year. The Reading
Railway Company uses many thou
sands o. tons as engine fuel.

"Well, Billy, I'll bet that picture was
taken at the Juniper street entrance
of Wanamaker's Philadelphia store,"
was the answer. And that is whore
the picture was taken.
Colonel Cody was admired greatly
by the residents of Wyoming for the
truly wonderful things he had done
for that country. He was keenly sym
pathetic and amazingly generous. He
had the true western ranchman's con
tempt for money, except as an un
avoidable medium of exchange in the
more commercial communities. He
gave and spent through all his life
with extreme freedom. He had a won
derful eye for details of tidiness about
a ranch and one of his quaint methods
of reproving his employes when he
discovered something askew was to
assert with studied, ungrammatical
emphasis: "It looks as though a poor
widow woman' lives here."
His T E ranch, between show sea
sons was a center for cow punchers
famed in rope twirling and other suc
cessful feals on eastern vaudeville
stages.
Great Self- Advertiser
The colonel's wonderful personality
made him almost unconsciously a
great self-advertiser. On one occasion
some movie men, with cameras and
films, came to his ranee to visualize
some western scenes. The colonel
waived a high regard for his front
lawn even to the point of permitting
a broncho buster to ride a pitching
outlaw horse among the piles of elk
horns and painted boulders upon that
lawn so that his rafich house might
serve as the background for the riot
in spite of the damage to the grass.
The colonel was, of course, Included
in the picture, apparently giving di
rections to the bronc' rider.
For another picture, one of the
wobbly Deadwood coaches was hauled
from the shed where it had stood for
years. Four horses were attached to
it and it was filled with cow punchers
and women of the ranch. The scenario
was that the picture should begin
showing the stagecoach load of
"guests" crossing at the ford of the
Shoshone and whirling up to the
ranch house, from which the colonel
was to emerge and joyfully greet his
visitors. However, the colonel be
lieved he should be in the picture at
the river, pointing out the best place
for fording and then later, also run
from the house to greet his guests.
Considerable time was consumed in
the argument convincing the colonel
that It would be far better for him to
remain out of the picture at the ford
as otherwise his surprise on greeting
his guests, at the house, might be
somewhat discounted.
With the passing of the idol of that
section of the country it will be diffi
cult to find, if ever there Is found, so
ptoturesque a character to take his
place.

COAL PRODUCTION
256 MILLION TONS
86,000,000 Tons Dug Out in An
thracite Regions Mine
Chief Reports
Pennsylvania's coal operators did
not do all of tlio business they could
have done because of unpreparedness
for the great demand for coal, car
shortage, labor troubles and other
reasons, and yet the production of
coal in the State was 256,000,000 tons,
according to James E. Roderick, the
State Chief of Mines.
The Chief says that operators who
were equipped with proper facilities
and were not tied up with old con
tracts had what he terms "a golden
opportunity," and yet many operators,
although offered as high as $4 and $5
a ton fulfilled their contracts, even
though some got only $2 a ton. The
bituminous operators, especially, were
caught on long contracts.
"The production of coal in Penn
sylvania for 191 C will amount to i
probably 256,000,000 net tons, of
which 170,000,000 tons were produced
in the bituminous region and 86,000,-
000 tons in the anthracite region. The
number of employes in the bituminous
region was 171,477 and in the anthra
cite region 155.689. There were 433
fatal accidents among the bituminous
employes and 560 among the anthra
cite employes, and 1,800 nonfatal ac
cidents among the bituminous em
ployes and 2,100 among the anthra
cite. There were no great disasters
to mar the prosperous record of the
industry.

INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
Y. >l. C. A. Hoard .Members Watching
Work in Other Cities
Speculation among the friends and
those who would be the Supporters of
the Young Men's Christian Association
under a different policy has been rife
as to what action is being contem
plated by the board of directors in
rejuvenating the association and re
establishing it on a basis that will
merit general approval and hearty
public support.
Members of the board are at the
present time active in looking into as
sociations in other cities where con
ditions are similar and the same prob
lems are being worked out and it is
believed that with the election of live
new members to the board at the an
nual meeting next month definite steps
will be taken to crystallize public sen
timent in a reorganization that will
mean much for the young men and
boys of the community. More ade
quate provision will likewise be made
to meet the requirements of a modern
city such as Tlarrisburg in the past
] decade has grown to be, according to
' members of the board.
