timore or Washington.

tant questions of the session, came up. and
was settled. The committee TO whom the
matter was referred reported that all or

vance of 25 per cent, to take effect Jan.

ALLEGED IRRIGATION RING.
sOne OF the Most Gigantic and GIar-
ing Frauds of the Age.v

CHEYENNE. wyo-, Sept. 21-Robert
Foote, State Senator of johnson county.
has written an open letter to Hoke Smith,
Secretary of the Interior, exposing what he
characterizes as lone of the most gigantic
and glaring frauds of the age which is
about to be committed. he says, in wyom-
in, under the Carey arid land law. He says
all the water of the streams in the Big
Horn basin was parceled out to members
OF ''the State land ring by the State engi-
neer. and companies have been formed
which propose to charge settlers SO per
acre for water rights. which are not worth
81 per acre. The land which the S. ate
authorities are asked to have set apart
under the Carey law are not desert lands
as contemplated in the act of Congress.
Mr.. Foote asserts. In conclusion. the Sena-
tor says: The desire Is to create a system
OF peonage or tenantry at Will among all
our rich valleys where honorable and inde-
pendent manhood should be found. God for
bid such a cOnsummation.''
