almost any portion of the state where
water can be procured and where the
same is judicially used and distributed
over the land.
VALUE OF IRRIGATED LAND.
The increased values of live stock in
this state has had a tendency to slim
ulate the reclamation of land and to in
crease its value when irrigated. Two
years ago it was very difficult to find a
buyer for irrigated land and when sales
were made they were usually at fig
ures below the cost of improvements.
During the past six months there have
probably been twice as many transfers
of irrigated land as in any similar pc
riOd previous to that time. And the
prices realized are from one-third to
one-half greater than possibly could
have been secured a year earlier.
No new large canals We're begun the
past year. There seems to be a ten
dency on the part CT capital TO avoid
these investments. The Cody canal, of
which Buffalo Bill'' is the father, sit
uated in the Big Horn Basin, has been
extended and considerable new land
brought under cultivation. This canal
enjoys the unique distinction of being
the first ditch built under the Carey act
in this or any other arid state, and the
only one under that act where land has
been irrigated and patent applied for
from the government. A request from
The state of Wyoming is now before
the general land Office for the patent
ing t. settlers of 1G0C0 acres under this
canal. Permits for 30 new bitches We're
issued " the state engineer during the
rast Year. All Of these bitches are
small, being built by Individual settlers
CT combinations OF settlers During the
past year there were 947 certificates of
appropriation issued, calling for to-
tai volume of water of 1881 feet, ir-
rigating 1858 Il acres of land.
STORAGE RESERVOIRS.
The most distinctive feature of the ir-
rigation development of the past year
has been the attention paid to storage
reservoirs. The engineers report, just
issued, gives the surveys and estimates
of about q score of sites which have
combined capacity Of over 100000 acre
feet, which means that the water they
viii hold would cover 10000 acres one
foot deep. The completion of these res
ervoirs viii add fully a million acres
to the area cultivated. The largest of
these is owned by the Wyoming Devel-
opment company. 1t is a natural basin
of between six and seven thousand
acres and VIII hold when full seventy
eight thousand acre feet. It is situated
on the Laramie plains north of the city

who is in moderate circumstances.
In the valleys, of which Wyoming
has many, almost any kind of fruit,
vegetables and grain are successfully
raised with the aid of irrigation The
more extensive fruit growing fields are
located at Wheatland in the eastern
part Of the state and at Lander in Ere
mont county. The latter supply not
only the home market but is now ship
ping to points outside the state. At
Sheridan, situated in northern Wyom-
ing along the Burlington road, fruit and
vegetables have been grown TO such an
extent during the past four or five years
that an outside market is clamoring for
the products.
Agriculture in Wyoming can be sum-
med up in the following words: Farm
ing can be carried on with success in
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-01-01

incontrovertible prediction Of prosper
ity for 1899 is made.
As an indication of the prosperous
times of the past year in almost all
branches of trade in Wyoming. and as
an Indication that the people of this
state are in better shape than ever be-
fore, it can be truthfully said that the
assessed valuation of property in the
state has increased $3.50 352. 50. while the
rate Of taxation has decreased from
6.2625 mills in 1895. to 5.25 in 1898.
PROMISE OF FUTURE.
The present year is full of promise
for this young state, the extensive re-
sources which have long lain dormant
awaiting the coming of capital. This
condition began to undergo change,
however, during the spring OF last year.
when capitalists visited the state and
invested in various enterprises. and
this year will undoubtedly witness a
still greater change. Companies are
now being formed in the east to develop
the vast deposits of soda near Laramie.
Capitalists have secured interests in a
large number Of mines in the state,
and in some instances have purchased
the same outright, and as soon as
spring comes, will push the work of
development. Various irrigation en-
terpriSeS have been mentioned. and sur
Veys for several lines of railroad. which
viii tap valuable fields of coal. iron and
gold, and will open to DEVELOPMENT nu-
merous fertile valleys, have been made.
and indications point to their early
construction In all parts OF the state
there is a better feeling among the
people, and all are satisfied that 1899
Will be a. year of great activity and
progress.
AS TO AGRICULTURE.
There has not been very great in
crease in the agricultural population
during the past year. although many
inquiries regarding available farming
lands have been received from all sec
tons of the country, and the outlook
for the coming year is very bright, and
indications point to a considerable in
fluX Of farmers and homeSeekerS the
coming season. Some settlers have
gone into Grey Bull valley in the Big
Horn basin, and into Jackson's Hole,
south of Yellowstone park. But the
most marked growth has taken place
on Blacks Fork creek. about thirty
miles east of Evanston, in Uinta coun-
ty, and not far from the Utah line.
Here over fifty homestead filings We're
made during the past year. and 10000
bushels of grain raised from what. five
years ago, was al uninhabited waste.
Uinta county is the banner county of
the state-her population has increased
