BUFFALO BILL.

MEMORIAL MUSEUM. Bill (William F. Cody) is now Doing immortalised in ms. Dome totate or Wyoming in a manner befitting the ■spirit of tne pioneer. The otaice ina.s purchased a tract of land upon which is being erected a. duplicate of Colonel Cody’s old ranch homestead group, which, is to be a museum of pioneer Americana. The site of this museum js. west of the Tittle town of Codv at the beginning of the famous Cody Road, and located directly in front of Sbo- ■ : on© Canyon, with ©unrounding snowpeaked mountains. The museum was opened on June 19. The log house in which Colonel Cody lived appears exactly as he. used it. The rest of the structure is given over to the exhibition room, its fireplace of red granite from Shod one Canyon, its rafter® of logia; a library where frontier and pioneer literature will be assembled, and. other display rooms. There will be the bunk house, corrals, h ds, barns, big swinging ranch gates, pile? of horns, and a well, where the amateur .rancher may draw water in a real bucket, for this is the heart of the •country where the- amateur rancher forts the strain of city life in a wilderness of mountain .canyon and forest. issnot on which the museum is being built is a real bit of the old West, where Indians fought in a desperate J effort to hold; the Big Horn Basin.
