The Wyoming Commission of
the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton has undertaken the task of
seeing that this state is properly
and c~reditably represented at the
Worlds Fair to be held in st.
Louis in 1904.
While a great deal of work has
been done and arrangements have
been made with most of the lead
ing mines. agriculturalists and
others. for exhibits along their
several lines, yet it is more than
probable that there are numerous
interesting relics. mineral aud
agricultural products. which will
be overlooked unless those pos
sessing or having knowledge of
the same, voluntarily communi-
cate with this Commission.
Therefore, we invite anyone

ever a high executive office falls nv
accident to an officer elected to a

ing of ANXIETY and uncertainty in

they may expect, and these feelings
are founded upon pretty good his.
torical evidences to the effect that
public matters will not be carried on
as they would have been had the
elected encrmt.ent filled out his

fears have not been realized. Hence
their phenomenal strength as candi-

ton to carry out the policy of their
stat-smanlike predecessors. and both
have, so far as changed circumstqnc-

with remarkable satisfaction to their

Let our Land Laws Alone.

The United States is afflicted with
a lot of land reformers, who 90 about

out that Uncle Sam is being robbed
of his lands, and that the lands are
fast passing into the hands of large
corporations. They want to cut off

years time, and continuous residence,

the Canadian Government one would

not only better land, but better terms
in every way.
If any one will write to Hon. Cliff

Ottawa, Canada, he will get in return
"A batch of land literature, issued un-
der the direction of the above named

AN ILLINOIS ALDERMAN
nr. W. F. Baum, of Danville, Pleased
 With the Salt River Valley.

Alderman w r. Baum. of Danville, H., who with his wife spent some time in Phoenix en route to San Diego, wrote to his son at Danville. and parts of the letter were printed in the Danvila daily papers. The letter shows that MT. Baum kept his eyes open on his jour ney. He saw many things in this val ley which many persons living here have seen but rot noticed. The follow ing is a part of his letter:
 We have just returned from Q thirty mile drive in the country west and north of Phoenix It was Q warm and pleasant day Frank Baum, of Phoe- nix, went with us. We drove by the Capitol building and called upon the governor and secretary of the territory. We had a very pleasant reception. The governor said that he had just returned from Washington. where he met our Uncle Joe Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives.
 "We drove by the large ostrich farm. where they have over 1000 birds. They were very interesting to look at being of four different colors, and such 6 large bunch in one lot. They are picked of their feathers every eight months. The net profit of each bird is S30 a year. and they are valued at s75 a head.
 The part of the valley that we drove through is where they feed and pasture the cattle brought in from the noun tains and ranches. These cattle are fed and pastured on alfalfa until the middle of March and then taken back to the ranches. We saw several hundred head. They say there are 0.09O to 40, OC0 head in the valley
 "I think the Salt River valley is a fine country, with wide range and great variety. Nearly everything in the way of grains. vegetables and fruits grown in the temperate and semi-tropic zones fiourishes here. Wheat and barley are Of an exceedingly fine quality. The prin- cipal forage plant for hay and pasture is alfalfa, a Chilean clover, a remark able plant which wields abundantly. They say six 10 eight tons per acre is not an unusual yield. The hay is cut from three to four times each year All kinds of vegetables grow with wcn- derful raDidity.
 ''I see in driving through the country a great deal of land not in cultivation. The reason of this is that there is rot enough water for irrigating purposes They say that the Tonto dam and res ervoir built by the government, on which work is now being prosecuted with vigor will store water sufficient to irrigate 100000 acres of land in the Salt River valley. It will be second on- ly to the Assouan dam in Egypt, and will be an engineering feat of note Here are some of the figures connected with it: Height from lowest foundation. 2S5 feet. dpnfb tO lowest hadrCclr 91 feet: thickness at crest; IS feet; thick ness at base lS0 feet; length of dam at level sDillway. 653 feet; area of drain age basin, 5,156 square miles; area of reservoir, l4,0U acres: capacity of res ervoir. 1,45000G acre feet. An acre foot means enough water 10 cover an acre of ground one foot deep. The estimatel cost is S2, 700, ,00O."
