THE DELEGATES LEAVE
Y. p. C. q. CONVENTION BROUGHT
BUT LITTLE MONEY TO TOWN.
Few other than the "OficiaI', Organ
PrOfited, and 1t Worked a
BuncO Game.

The ninth annual convention of the
Young Peoples Christian Union ended Sun
day night, and yesterday morning the del
egates began the homeward journey. BY
last night most of them were gone, al
though a few have taken advantage of
time extensions on their excursion tickets
and will remain for few days recreation
in Indianapolis. To-day has been set aside
as United Presbyterians' day by the man
agement of the Nashville exposition, and
something like three hundred took advan-
tage of the very low rate to visit that
city. Part of this number will pass through
this city when they finally start for home.
q There was a grand rush on the office of
the joint ticket agent at the Denison Ho-
tel yesterday morning, and several po-
licemen were on hand to handle the
tkrongs. The greatest rush was before 8
o'clock, most of the delegates being anx-
ious to get the early morning trains for
various points. A number of them left aft
er midnight Sunday Many who had scru-
pies against travelling on Sunday waited
until after u o'clock, for their conscience
sake
Glowing statements given out by the
oversanguine members of the local commit
tee were very disappointing as to the
size of the crowds that might be expected.
Merchants and business men who look at
the financial side of things say that they
received nc material benefit from the con-
vention. The delegates spent little money
aside from that for hotel bills. 1t is ac-
knowledged, however, that any such gath
ering is u good thing, as it advertiseS the
city to a large extent. People are hoping
that when the convention of the Epworth
League is held here it may not be domi-
mated by such narroWness as characterized
the management of the local committee that
had in charge the Y. +. G. u. convention.
The meetings of the Epworth League are
of far greater magnitude and bring larger
crowds.
The general commlpee, the close corpora
ton that governs the Y. p. G. T.,
did not fix the place for holding the next
convention. This subject will probably be
disposed of at the October meeting Of the
committee in Pittsburg. A. a. Graham,
who appeared before the committee to
urge the claims of Albany, N. Y, EEK
pressed confidence that that city would be
selected. This seemed to be the impression
of T. c. Atchison, new chairman of the
general committee, and w. l. Wishart,
president of the convention.

THE place 1 refer to- said he, 'Is tho
Big Horn basin, out in Wyoming. 1t is,
without the shadow of doubt, the richest
country of the world in natural resources.
Ages ago the basin, biologists say. was a
great lake. 1T is surrounded by towering
mountains, and from these the rains and
the melting SHOWS washed down from time
immemorabe the soil of the mountain
sides. Thus was formed a great bed Of
the richest soil in the whole world. Physi-
cal changes eventually caused the lake to
den spot of the world save for the fact
that it was left without sufficient moisture
for vegetation to exist. All the mountain
streams took their course in opposite di-
rcCtionS, and for years those who saw the
great basin of more than 1000 900 acres
lying in solitude and in waste wondered.
why the hand Of nature had passed ii by.
But Colonel w. +. Cody solved the enigma
at last by conceiving plan to irrigate the
basin. 1t was his idea to build canal
from the south fork of the Shoshone river
and supply the basin with water in great
abundance. lie organized company for
the purpose, including in it's membership
II. c. Alger and George T Beck, of Wyom-
ing; George Blestein and Bronson Rumsey,
Of Buffalo n. Y, and Nate Salisbury, OF
New York
They have already constructed a large
part of the canal. under great difficulties,
but with good results. 1t was necessary to
blast through miles of solid rock but at
last that part of the work has been COM
pleted and now the remainder of the dis
lance will be dug through soft earth Elk
periments have been made in farming with
the assistance of irrigation in the basin,
and the products of that rich soil have been
marvellous. There are also coal mines,
I rble beds, sulphur hills hot springs and
almost innumerable other resources in the
basin. It is the richest country 1 ever saw.
In addition TO all this there are good in
dications of gold deposits, and it is ex-
pected It with the use of the canal for
mining rposes furnishing, as 1t will, both
water Aply and power for machinery,
there will be a systematic investigation OF
the gold deposits within the next year. The
canal company of course expects to profit
by supplying water to the settlers in the
basin, but at is only natural. Land can
be pure there for so cents an acre in
any pa che BASIN 1t is all owned by
the gov rent, and there is no land swim
die in ( affair at ALL Within the next
year or two / expect to see grand rush
to the Big Horn BASIN"
