a preliminary survey for hundred
foot dam in the canyon, pronounc-
ing the site one of the best he had
ever seen. Six years ahead of
him water-hling for the Cooper
ative Indians, Farmers and Manu-
facturers' canal, eighty miles long,
was made by the writer.
Before many days the canyon
will be damned and what Ari-
poosh, the old medicine man Of
Crows, believed to have been the
original birthplace OF man will
soon be a populous and fertile
land once more. Men are learning
that more profit lies in green fields,
in trees weighted down by luscious
fruits and in days of health and
pleasure passed by the waters of
the Hot Springs where the Great
Apothecary has mixed His healing
medicines as no human hand can
mix them, than lies in the pursuit
of any golden will-o' -the-wisp.
Politicians are learning what the
sheep and cattle leasers are loath
to have them learn, that the In
dams are and for thirty years have
been willing to sell every acre OF
the reservation that lies within
the rim of the Big Horn Basin.

site is on this reservation. An
other ten miles square, perhaps
three of them, will doubtless be
thrown open by the next congress
and this will mean the opening OF
land that, like that of the Black
Hills, is rich in minerals, in timber,
rivulets and grass, but land tor
which the Indians care little, for
from time immemorial, the .,Sho.

river valley and the Arapahoes' are
content to dwell where the Popo'
a-gie and Big Wind river join.
Twenty years ago a party o.
cowboys, Nate Champion being
among them, came to the Bis

is the fifteen mile gateway, the can
yon separating the twin basins,
and here seven years ago Upton
and a Deadwood expert found fifty
colors of gold in their pan. They
had followed up from the greater
canyon, now known as No-Man's s.
Land, where the waters of the Big
Horn flow into the land that even
yet belongs to the Crows and where
Hugh Lindsay found the most
beautiful spot on earth and sand
bars covered every spring with a
rich layer of gold placers, a depos-
it appearing every spring only to
vanish with the season. From
this point Upton and his friend
had followed up the main stream
for hundred miles, getting gold
at every bar, but, alas, others be-
fore them had grown grey on the
trail. Rough stones mark the
resting place of some Of these brave
pioneers aad others, before you or
| were born, had returned to Mon
tana, sCalpless and raving; to dec
crate asylum walls with maps of
trails that were taken up by young
er adventurers before the search
for Father DeSmet's mountain of
gold and the long sought Lost
Cabin mine should be abandoned.
Now the waters flowing through
this great canyon where the WING
river becomes known as the Big
Horn are to be turned aside to be
spread over fifty thousand acres
of the fertile land lying close below
the great Hot Springs of the Big
Horn and the town of Thermopo-
lis. Capitalists from Carroll, Iowa,
Engineer McEtharon from Nebras-
ka, Cheyenne promoters and local
workers are on the spot to dam, at
least partially, the canyon between
the two basins.

were known only to the wandering
cowboy. Six years ago they We're
purchased from old Chief Washa-

fame of these wonderful waters
is fast spreading through this coun

Wyoming owns an elegant, free
bath house of fine. white. cut

the comfort of pleasure seekers as

Close to the state bath house and
the sanitarium and on the same
side with the big spring is fine,
large plunge, the most popular
place of amusement about Their

On the other side of the river,
where the waters of several smaller
springs are counted particularly

comfortable and homelike a place
as any wayfarer might wish.
On both sides of the river the
sage-brush and the red dust that
centuries have brought down from

Four hundred miles west Of here
as the wagon wheels roll, is a
mighty basin into which the Black
Hills, from the tip of Harney's
Peak down to sea level, might be
pitched and its rim would still
tower 5000 feet upward on the
east and 5000 feet on the west,
while on the north and the south
this wonderful basin would barely
overflow, and the entire body of
the Hills would build we'll the
dams that will be necessary to
make of it the irrigated Eden that
1t soon will be, the Eden of the

Deep are the mysteries of nature!
South of the famous basin of the
Big Horn is its no less rich twin,
the basin of Wind river, and the
two form wonderland that has no
parallel.
Where the Big Horn river heads
no man seems to know, but it is at
the mouth of Wind river, and into
Wind river flows the waters from
Poison creek, fifty miles northwest
Of Casper, from the Popo-a-gie
heading at the south end of the
Wind river range where the pure
oil gushes forth from the earth
every six and a quarter hours,
and from Sioux creek in the ex-
treme east where the powerful
Sioux in former years travelled as
straight as an arrow from the bow,
straight west from the Big Chey-
enne through Sioux Pass, now
known as the HoIe-in- the Wall,
where they have left a trail that
time will not soon obliterate- The

VOTE ON RECORD.

New York, Nov. 10.-The indications
are that President Roosevelt will have
343 electoral votes to 1913 for Parker,
. plurality Of 210.
With every former doubtful state
admittedly in the Roosevelt column,
with majorities in some states in eX.
cess of those given Mr.. Mckinley. four
years ago and in some instances even
greater than those of 1896, latest re-
turns indicate that the solid South
has been broken into by the state OF
Missouri casting it's ballot for a Re.
publican president.
Beginning with the tremendous ma
jOrity of 100000 in Pennsylvania the
Republican pluralities are decisive in
nearly every state carried for their
ticket and it seems probable that
Roosevelt has received the greatest
popular vote ever given a presidential
candidate. Returns thus far received
indicate that he will receive a popular
plurality OF slightly W. 1900, 600,
against S49, 100 for Mckinley Over
Bryan.
The following table shows the plu.
ralities in the various states; also the
electoral votes of the opposing candi-
dates.

st. Louis, Nov. 10.-Slow progress
has been made toward an accurate
count of Missouri's vote, but partial
returns show remarkable Republican
gains in St. Louis and generally
throughout the state. In many coun-
ties the usual Democratic plurality
was cut in half. The Republican state
committee insists hat final figures
will show a Republican majority Of
10000 on the national ticket.
That Joseph w. Folk, Dem, has car
ried the state for governor was the
claim made generally, but figures ON
the state result were lacking. The
Democratic state committee asserted
hal Folk will have a majority Of 3d.
O00. Complete returns show that st.
Louis has gone Republican, with the
exception that she rallied for Joseph
w. Folk, Dem, with a plurality Of over
10000. With all the Democratic mu-
nicipal candidates save one defeated
with pluralities ranging from 500 to
5000 Folk carried st. Louis over Cyrus
P. Walbridge by a plurality of 10,0SS.
However, indications are hat the
legislature will be Republican by two
or three votes on joint ballot. The
legislature will elect a successor to
United States Senator F. M. Cockrell.
