The more water in this reservoir the
: faster it heats, If too low it heats very i
slowly. See that big surface that lays flat j
against the fire plate? That is the secret
of the Copper=Clad Reservoir. j
If it gets too hot, twist the lever at |
the bottom and shift away from the fire i
plate.
This is a good reason lor buying a
Copper-Clad Range. No other range j
but the Copper-Clad has this shifting de

] There are 25 other reasons, but the
chief reason is—clad with copper they

FAMOUS BANDIT
STRONGHOLD ADDED
TO YELLOWSTONE PARK
Associated Press Dispatch.
Livingstone, Mont., June 4.—A ban
dit stronghold may be added to the
Yellowstone National Park. The
Jackson Hole country—once the re
sort of bad men of every class—is the
strip which it is proposed to attach to
the reservation.
For thirty years, Jackson’s Hole has
played an important part in lurid lit
erature as well as in sensational fact.

have mentioned that bullet swept!
region, where criminals fled from
posses and where a comparatively
few men could hold a company of sol
diers at bay.
Representative Mondell, of Wyom
ing, is fostering a measure to add
about 60,000 acres of Wyoming public
land south of the park to the Yellow
stone reservation. There are very
few homesteaders on this land and it
is believed their claims can be ad
justed without difficulty.
The tract is as beautiful, it is said
as any part of the Yellowstone re
gion and this is the leading reason
for the desire to add it to the park.
Lofty mountains, many of them cov
ered wth dense forests, rise from this
land Great praihies, which once
were deserts, stretch for'miles. Hun
dreds of striking buttes whose cran
nies fifrnishes hiding places and forti
fications for Indians, and robbers,
and fugitives, to the country.
Grand Teton Mountain and Mount
Moran are included in the proposed
addition but Jackson’s Hole is per
haps the best known spot. Again and
again, in pioneer days, Indians flash
ed into this depression and disap
peared. Bad men learned the secrets
of the Hole and often they got there
a few horse jumps ahead of their
pursuers. As late as 1914, the crags
echoed to the clatte of hoofs and the j
whine of bullets. On July 29, of that
year, two bandits held up 18 Yellow
stone Park coaches and after robbing
more than one hundred tourists, es
caped to the Hole. Soldiers search
ed and searched and found nothing.
Now, Representative Mondell hopes j
I ~
to change the order of things. Hia
plan provides that hotels be built
where the Red Men once pitched their
tepees; that comfortable lodges be
erected among the crannies of the
bandits and that the government shall
see to it no tourist is held up—not
even by hotel men.
