him that both she and Miss Greybrooh

In Wyoming irrigation struggled for

the organized stock interest which
fiourished on the public lands, waste

dUce crops of natural hay and to
water great herds of cattle While
many Of the leaders of this industry
We're of liberal and progressive mind,
aud freely conceded that they had
neither moral nor 4 legal right to
stand in the way of progress, an az
grcssiye and troublesome minority in
sisted that cattle were worth more
than men to Wyoming.
The final conflict came in the Rus
tiers War of 1892. with lis ignomin-
iouS ana crushing defeat of the cattle
men and their hired outlaws from
Texas. With that tiaSco the barriers
of opposition fell once and for all,
and the irrigation sentiment has since

cattle in the aggregate. but distributed
among Il multitude of small owners

they will raise the diversified prod
