Mr. Geo. IL. Morrison, who is in this
territory compiling material for Bancroft
history, has this to say Of Wyoming in a
letter written to the Nevada Tribune
The territory has a great future before
Il, and within the next quarter of a cen
fury wonderful strides will have been
made, lrrigaung ditcdes are now being
opened up at an expense of hundreds Of
thousands of dollars. Such energy as |
see exhibited here if put forth in our own
state, would bring Nevada to the front in
a short time, for there is no country in the
world that has the combined wealth Of
Nevada. Men put the ~money.they have
made here into home improvements, white
too many of our people go elsewhere to
invest the money they have made in our
generous Nevada. IL is nothing unusual
Tor a gentleman to erect a $4,000 resi-
demo. in this territory, which cannot com
pare in climate or soil with Nevada. The
fact is, we pay too much attention to poll
tics aud not enough to agriculture and
cattle too much small Legislation and not
enough to that class of Legislation that
will irrigate our valleys.
Here a county win undertake to sink an
artesian wal involving an expenditure Of
$l0.OO0, and ii they secure a good flow of
water it will be of untold wealth to them.

A REPORTER on a Cheyenne daily writes
more matter, on an average every day,
than a reporter on one of the big dailies
Of the East does in a week. This is
caused by the fact that on those dailies
matter is condensed because there is a
larger supply of news, and besides, each
reporter has a department, or a part of a
department, and if nothing worthy of
note occurs in his line he is not required
to furnish anything. In smaller cities
like Cheyenne, it takes all that the reporter
can find to Gil the paper, and more too.
lie has to furnish stuff that he doesn't
Cad, but which just comes to him while
he sits wondering what he is going to fill
his columns with, and gazing metaphor
cally at their appalling blank Darkness.
