CODY'8 STATUE WILL
OVERLOOK WESTERN TRACT!
DENVER. Colo., April 4.—High up
on Lookout Mountain near here, over
looking the four states which witness
ed his greatest activity, a monument
to Col. William F. Cody (Buffalo
Bill) now seems assured, according
to an announcement of the Cody Mem
orial association. The associatioi. says
that several other organizations al
ready have undertaken the collection
of funds for the monument.
The spot on the mountain top
where the famous plainsman is *o find
his last resting place already has
been approved by the family. This ap
proval lias stimulated the co-ordina
tion of all efforts to obtain a suffic
ient fund to construct a monument
worthy of the scout who helped to
open up the vast territory west of
the Mississippi river.
The formal burial ceremonies will
take place on Memorial day. .vhcn
the body will be borne from here to
the rock-hewn tomb on the top of
the mountain. It will be buried with
the full ritualistic service by the
Knights Templar.
Thd proposed monument, according
to tentative plans, is to be cut out
of solid granite hewn from the forma
tion on Lookout mountain. It is to
conform to the painting of the ’ate
rcout by the r.rtist Papacina. This
shows Colonel Cody on his beloved
white charger, scanning the horizon,
the hand uplifted, the body slightly
bent forward.
It Is pioposed to so place the monu
ment that the figure seems to be
looking over the vast stretches of
plains into the four states of Colo
rado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas
which witnessed most, if not all of
BuiTalo Bill’s exploits. Op o clear
day spectators are able to recognize
objects in all four states.
The site on Lookout mountain is
2,000 feet aboze Denver, or virtually
a mile and a half above sea level.
The monument would be reached over
Lariat trail, used by the Indians in
crossing the continental divide.

GIANT OBELISK TO MARK
PLACE OP DAVIS’ BIRTH
FA1RVIEW, Ky., April 4.—The
birthplace of Jefferson Davis on a
farm near here is to be marked by a
giant obelisk, according to plans
which Confederate veterans are now
trying to bring to completion.
A tract of twenty-two acres near
Fairview, which originally formed a
part of the farm upon which Jeffer
son Davis was born, was acquired
several years ago by Colonel A. S.
Cunningham, of Nashville, Tenu.,
publisher of the confederate veteran,
end General Bennett H. Young, who
was four times elected commander-in
chief of the Confederate Veter
ans. They raised about $zu,uuu. con
verting the tract into the Jefferson
Davis park, and it is upon a summit
of this part that it is proposed to
erect the monument. General George
W. Littlefield, of Austin, Texas, an
nounced that he will guarantee an
amount sufficient to insure the com
pletion of the project if others would
assume a fair share, and General Ju
lian S. Carr, of Durham, NT. C., has
agreed to assume a further large
share of the expense. In the mean
time a campaign for further funds is
in progress, and designs for the
monument have been prepared with j
the intention of beginning work or. j
the foundation this spring.
The monument will be an obelisk
of limestone and concrete 351 feet,
high—the tallest with the exception
of the Washington monument of any I
other shaft in the world. The base j
will be forty-three feet square with a
room eighteen feet square in the in
terior for the storing of relics. It is
planned to have the shaft completed
some time early in the coining aut
umn and to dedicate it October 22,
1917.
The site of the monument is only
about 100 miles, as the crow flies
from the site of the impressive Mem
orial hall erected near Hodgenville,
Ky., over the cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln was born.
