The Whole Thing Disgusting.

\ few evenings ago | Glanced to
be discussing politics with one Of
the ablest and most popular Dem
ocrats in Wyoming and was
quite astunished TO here him say
that the candidates on the Dem
ocraic state ticket were the weak
est men ever nominated by that
party. He claimed that no loyal
and patriotic Democrat would
vote for such men if there was any
danger of their being elected.
DO you SUPPOSE" said he, that
men of sense would 90 around
telling the newspapers that their
folks came over in the M~ayfower
or attempt to make a campaign by
claiming relationship to the faith

a hot spring l3S degrees in
temperature has been discovered
by Mr.. Williams, the man who
has charge of the Hot Springs
bath house. The water in the
North Platte river is now lower
than it has ever been before in
the memory Of any one here and,
in consequence, one of the many
hot springs chain of which runs
clear under and across the river
bed - has been exposed. The
highest temperature that any of
the hot springs has shown hereto
fore has been l34 degrees. This
new spring, which will be again
submerged us soon Ms the river
rises to its normal level, shows an
increased temberature Of Idegrees.
Some idea of the heat of this new
spring a be obtained when 1T is
stated that it will CONCEAL the

Every member of Congress and all of the prominent papers of

having carried the Irrigation bill through Congress. But for his in
defatigable work. his persistence night and day, in season and ont of

which the Speaker signed the bill, as well as the one with which the
President gave the bill his approval, were presented to Mr. Mondrll
as a mark OF favor-a :avor which is shown only to a member who
has been most prominent in the passage of the bill
To attempt to detract from Mr.. Monders well earned laurels IN
this matter shows very poor taste and it cannot but rebound to Mr..
Mondelfs credit in the end. 1t will call attention 10 his work in con.

idea Is to get II record of the wa

tarles. so We will know exactly
how much water there is when mt

A. j.. Parshall, late Assistant
State Engineer, and now state hy-
drographer, was in this part of the
country the past week, and know
ing that he had been associated
closely with the men who are
charged with the work of putting
in motion the machinery under
the new Irrigation bill, he was re-
quested to favor The Sun with an
interview on that subject.
In speaking of the visit to Wyo-
ming of Mr.. Walcott, the director
of geological surveys, Mr.. Newell,
the photographer, and Mr.. Davis
Arthur j. Davis, who is in charge
of the work under the new irriga-
ton law, Mr.. Parshall said:
"These three, with Mr.. Mondell
and myself, made n trip into the
Big Horn Basin, or on the Stink

ter from the mountains. From n
series of records, running back 10
years. there is enough water run
ming IN the Platte, moi appropria-
ted, to irrigate through the sea

of "A million acres, but as | re-
member. II have no records with
me- enough water could be stor-
ed in the Platte to irrigate as
much land as a be irrigated in
the entire state. Now. of course,
going along down the Platte, they
will have to select their land,
commencing where it can be used.
on the way through the state, and
cover the largest tracts of land
possible. There could be a large
tract covered here and another in
the S~weetwater country. There
is a large tract from Casper to
Douglas and on to the state line.
"The great advantage of this
government irrigation land will be
this: that in taking out these
bitches they will not take them
out to cover $4,000 acres of land
simply because that can be irriga-
ted at So per acre, but the idea
will be to find out where the wa.
ter can be used. and where the
most land can be irrigated.
"On the trip made up the Platte
three places were found where it
was thought reservoirs could he
built, and already machinery has
been ordered for the purpose of
ascertaining the depth to bed
rock, for these dams must be
built on the bed rock. Mr.. Davis
will commence in a few days with
the machinery to find the bed
rock.
"Thesc people who have charge
of all the work and disbursement
OF the money, are very anxious to
start with ms good IA proposition

good showing, They anticipate
that Just as soon ms they commence
there will be trouble in Congress
and they have got to have some
thing pretty good to start with.
There are places perhaps where
the storage water is of more i'm
portmce than on the Platte river.
but none where work can he done
with less embarrassment"
In speaking about Mr.. Newell.
