tofore regarded as worthless for any pur-
pose. The character and extent of the
experiments are not stated, but If the re-
suit can be regarded as satisfactory evil
dence that any crop of cereals can be
grown upon what is now a barren waste,
the utility of scientific methods rs applied
to agriculture will have received additional
proof. Doubtless. when the lands already
recognized as productive shall have been
occupied, some profitable means of using
the remainder will be found. Wyoming,
though possessing a greater extent of fer
tile lands than is generally believed, has
yet an immense area of s~agebrush and
other barrens, and the success of such ex-
Fermentation would prove of great i'm
portance as indicating an increase of ter
ritorial wealth from an un~considered
source. There will in time be located
within her boundaries an agricultural col
lege with a national experiment station
attached, which would make available
every known method of practical science
for the development of all latent resources;
but before any definite step can be taken
toward such industrial progress, the terri
tory must first secure a representation
that shall represent, by the election of a
competent delegate and of active, earnest
and intelligent members of the territorial
legislature. Past experience shows how
little may be expected from a purely or
namental delegate, and that the achieve
ments of tinkcring Legislators produce
results far worse that none at all.

hastily and experimentally made and to
establish at least the outlines of as simple.
effective and inexpensive a system as can
be devised to meet the exigencies which
demand a fair distribution with due re
gard to vested right, yet without subject
ing necessary legislation to an overload of
supertiuous and vcxatious technical re-
quirements. Above all it is necessary
that the law should be wholly impartial
in its operation, giving no shadow OF ad-
vantage to any interest or to any class,
and inaugurating no costly system favor
able to jobbery but disconraging To lepiti-
