LOWER HORSE CREEK.
he Garden spot Of Laramie County.

About forty-fyc miles from Cheyenne
in a northeasterly direction lies the valley
OF Lower Horse creek, near the con
huence of the Little and Big creeks of
that name. The valley is more than a
mile in width and extends about twelve
miles in an e~asterly direction to the Ne
braska line 1t has an altitude of about
5000 feet and a soil and climate not ex-
celled in any other section of this terri
tory. In this beautiful valley large tracts
OF land have been put under irrigation by
individuals and companies whose expert
ence leads them to anticipate large profits
on their investments, for they have sue
ceeded, especially during the past year,
in raising crops which inspire the high
est hopes of successful farming in the
future.
A LEADER commissioner recently paid
a visit TO this veritable garden spot of
Laramie county; he had ample oppor-
tunlty to ascertain the vast natural re-
sources OF hat locality, and learned,
what is probably news to a large majority
Of the people of this city, that superior
crops Of the tanned grasses, oats, barley,
corn, potatoes, roots generally and garden
vegetables, as also the harder small
fruits, are grown in this valley wherever
irrigation is possible. At this time
threshing machines are at work threshing
oats, and thousands of bushels are now
in the owners bins. The facts ascer-
tanned regarding the result of last sum
mer's work OF Il large number of small
and large farmers in this valley
are valuable as showing what can be ac-
complished in these favored portions of
Laramie county by intelligent investment
of capital and labor. The hay crop is at
present the most valuable and brings the
best returns, as the large cattle com
panies readily purchase the product ofthe
many ranches, at fair figure, for winter
feeding of cattle awaiting shipment to the
feeding pens in Nebraska and Iowa. The
price Of hay this season is 81 per ton in
the stack; at this price the Holman
Rutledge company recently sold their
crop of several thousand tons raised on
their land but recently reclaimed under
the desert act, now by means of an extern
sive system of irrigating canals turned
into one of the finest hay meadows to be
found anywhere.
There are farms and ranches at various
points on the creek along the county road
leading from Johnston's post Office to
South Bend and thence to Hawks Springs,
among them and the principal ones being
the extensive plantations of j. II. Cor
don, one of the first settlers on the creek,
Jas. II. Johnston, the postmaster, another
old timer, has also a fine, productive
place. ID. Il. Brown, VIM. Lykins, A..
j. Perry, Wood Schrader, Judge j. X.
Whitehead, Thos. W. Rutledge and Ed.
Blair occupy the most desirable locations
along the creek, and all are sanguine in
their hopes OF the future of Horse Greek
valley. THE LEADER man was most hos
pitably entertained by the good people Of
this beautiful valley, and will long remem-
Der the many courtesies shown him.

sary by the large number of contests
which are to be heard, together with the
fact that it has been found necessary to
reduce the clerical force of the office.

last forty-eight hours throughout this see
ton, from Central Nebraska to Wyoming

large portion of the grazing fields IN

Then 1 looked down again into the
flower garden snd noticed Il was the only
yaro IN the long row of houses which con-
tSlned any sttempt at ornament. On my
mentioning this Mr. Howell said:
Il llved In Cambridge for some time,
then moved to Belmont and then here.
Az both the former places had extensive
hover beds, and Il dn't like to give them
up; they are my diversion"
learned Afterwards from a friend that
tOese MOVERS and their cultivation are a
pei hobby with Mr.. Howells, that several
times day he Is seen out among them
win green tin watering pot carefully
lending them. This spring he spent nearly
aay running wires up to the top of the
renee for morning glories to trail upon.
among the photographs scattered about
noticed one of Mr.. Howells and MIR.
Clemens Mark Twain taken together;
also pictures Of Mrs. Howells and their
children. Mrs Howels is very charm
ing and great admirer of her husbands
work. Nothing delights her more than
her friends praise Of them. The eldest
chlld Is now almost woman, possibly Is
years OF age. She is said to be clever
with her pen, and may have inner ted
much OF her fathers talent. Johnnie,
about ID, is bright little fellow, and Mil
dred, aged ii, is an artist OF precocious
cleverDess.
Not long ago was published a book, en-
titled "A Little Girl Among the Old
M asters." MIR. Howells wrote 1t, but the
Illustrations are by little Miss Mildred.
Her father Is very proud of her, as he may
we'll be.
Getting at last to the great question or
realism versus romance, Mr.. Howells re-
marked that he thought people fonder OF
uetalls IN everything than formerly; that
THIS Is really characteristic OF the time
IN which we live; we see this in journal
ism, IN everything, in TACT.
The style of literature is changing"
he continued. sit must change, as we
change; if one depicts life as it lie to-day,
it will, of course, differ from the life that
existed century ago, because the cir
cumstances are different. AS for school,
well, each one of us writes as he can, in
his own individual STYLE"
"What do you think of the fiction of the
futurew ! asked.
Just what think Of the fiction of the
present and the past" he answered. sit
will always be the lives of human beings.
