The tie drive of the Carbon
Timber Company is very busy at
the present time with the i'm
mense tie drive which they are
taking down the river to Fort
Steele. The river has fallen SO
rapidly that they are having a
hard times, as the ties bank them
selves every few miles. The

WYOMING DAY
Citizens Of This Great
State Meet at the
Exposition
and CELEBRATE Big DAY
Grand Success With Some Of wyoming's
Able Men to set Her off with
fine Speeches

Probably no celebration in con-
nection with the Lewis & Clark
Exposition has been a more an
qualified success, than that of
wyoming Day, which was cele-
brated today. Altho the heat of
the past two days was something
oppressive. being 81 in the shade,
today has been very pleasant and
cool, and without rain, too. The
Governor and his Staff, along with
their ladies, and several people
from Wyoming, arrived about
noon yesterday, and met at the
, train by Commissioner in Chief,
and Sup't of Exhibits, DIR. H.
Chas. Dunsmore. The party were
taken to the American Inn, within
the fair grounds, which will be
official head quarters during their
stay. At ten O'Clock this morning
many Wyoming people assembled
at DR.. Dunsmore's Office, to receive
Wyoming badges, and also invita-
ton cards to the reception and
banquet in the evening. The Adj
ministration band was in the Au-
ditoritum, and played many Sc
lections while the audience was
gathering. Altho the Auditorium
will seat possibly two thousand, it
was fairly well filled, when the
Governor and psrty entered.
Commissioner Richardson pr esd
ed and introduced President Goode
of the Exposition Management
who in a few we'll chosen words,
welcomed the Wyoming people to
the Exposition. He wasfollowed by
Mayor Lane, who welcomed them
on behalf of the City of Portland.
Commissioner Richardson re.
sponded to the addresses of well
come, and then introduced Cover
nor Brooks, who gave an excellent
address on the State of Wyoming
its recources and wealth.
Governor Chamberlain of Ore
gon was to have spoken, but was
absent from the State. After Gov.
Brooks address, a young lady
quartette of Portland sang the
State Song, Wyoming" many of
the Wyoming people joined in the
chorus. Attorney-G General Van
Orsdell was then introduced, and
made a most interesting address,
detailing many of the advantages
of living in the state of Wyoming
and much more interesting infor.
nation relative to the State.
The exercises came to a close
about noon, the party going out to
luncheon, and passing the balance
of the day in "doing the fair.
In the evening a reception to Gov
Brooks, with banquet was given
at the American Inn, which was
attended by about 100 Wyoming
people, and many of the Exposi'
ton officials, as we'll as a number
of prominent society people o.
the city.
The Governors party will re-
main in Portland most of the
week, after which some will return
direct to Cheyenne, and a numbel
takes side trips, down the coast tt
San Francisco, and other places
of interest.
Wyoming Day" has been
grand success, and there is NJ
doubt, but the state will prof
much in the future, from the grea
advertisement she has had today
The following is a synopsis o
Govenor Brooks Speech:
Twenty-Five years ago, accord
ing to the census of 1880, we hat
but 4S7 farms valued at $855,00O
\ today we have 5000 farms value'
At over thirty mill ons of dollars
, 1905-07-20

During this period the assessed
valuations of all the property in
our states has increased from less
than twelve millions to nearly fifty
millions of dollars. Our two ma
tional banks, with a half a million
dollars on deposit, have multipli-
ed to twenty national banks, with
eight millions deposited therein.
Our state credit is high and the
bonded Indebtedness amounts to
only $4,000. A few weeks ago,
four per cent school bonds sold at
a premium. During the past few
years, land values have more than
doubled, good irrigated land now
selling readily at prices ranging
from thirty to sevents-fve dollars
per acre.
Wyoming is the best watered
state in the arid REGION, having
eight million acres of rich alluvial
soil susceptible to irrigation. This
would make one hundred thousand
irrigated farms Of eighty acres
each. The United States Govern
ment through its reclamation
service has under way four great
irrigation projects in Wyoming,
which, when completed, will re-
claim over half a million acres.
Shoshone project in Big Horn
county will impound the food
waters of the Shoshone river, and
hundreds of miles of bitches will
be built to irrigate 10000 acres of
the best land on earth. This sec
ton is destined to become one of
the finest fruit gowing regions in
the northwest.
On the Shoshone Indian res.
eryation, which will be thrown
open for settlement July 18th 1906
the environment and climatic con-
ditions are very similar and two
hundred and fifty thousand acres
can be irrigated at small expense
The proposed opening of this re-
%servation is attracting wide atten-
ton and undoubtedly the rush of
settlers next year to this land of
promise will be phonemenal, for
the Americans are land hungry
and this will be one of the last
grand opportunities for using
their homestead right to good adj
vantage.
On the North Platte river in
central Wyoming, contracts have
been let by the government for
the construction of a dam near
Alcova costing nearly a million
dollars which, when completed
will store all the flood waters of
this river
The DeSmet project in johnson
county is also under consideration
by the reclamation service and
work is expected to begin in the
near future.
These Government projects alone
when completed, will more than
double the present population
of Wyoming. In addition, many
private irrigation enterprises are in
process of construction, and thou
sands of acres are now open for
settlement.
Wyoming offers a rich and in
viting field for the laborer and
capitalist. We need laborers and
skilled mechanics of every sort and
kind. Farm hands, cowboys, sheep
herders, artisans, miners, trades
men, all can find steady employ
ment at high wage in a healthy,
invigorating climate, where the
opportunities for advancement are
endless. Capitalists seeking safe
investments have the choice of
hundreds of promising enterprjs-
es all of which are safely past the
experimental stage.

cuMMlNs AND SENATE.
Iowa Governor Denies That He Has
Said Anything.

Washington, April 8. Governor
Cummins says he is pleased with the
decision of the supreme court on the
biennial elections case, not that 1t
makes any political difference to him,
but because it supports the popular
decree of the people on that point. He
says politically Iowa is serene; In fact,
politics is dead save for the efforts OF
the newspapers to keep their columns
filled.
Concerning the claim of certain
newspapers that he had practically en-
tered the senatorial field against Sem
ator Dolliver, the governor said:
Il reserve the right to keep my own
council as to what l will or will not
do year or more hence. l have
made no announcements, and my
friends are making none. All the
stories that I propose to enter the
field against Senator Dolliver emanate
from those who are opposed to me and
who are Delivers friends. With this
sort of talk it is possible they may
convince me that the things they say
am going to do are the things l real
ly ought to do"

A neat question arises in regard 10

places two cold storage plants in which
liquors are kept under the head OF sa-
looms. The mulct law provides that
saloons must have enclosed windows

SPEEDY INDICTMENTS RuMoRED
1t Seems Apparent That the Jurors
Have Already Decided Upon What
Action Will Be Taken Against the
Packers-Not Yet Known Exactly
What the Indictments Will Charge.

Chicago, April S.--Members of the
federal grand jury, which is inves1l-
eating the so-called beef trust were
| placed in possession of "inside infer
nation" yesterday by Mryron c. Bak-
err, auditor for the Boston elevated
railroad, and for two years private
secretary to Edward c. Swift wee
president of Swift & Co. Mr.. Baker
was questioned for nearly two hours,
and is said to have furnished great
deal Of information concerning the IN
ner workings of the big meat pack ng
firms.
In answer to questions after leaving
the jury room, Mr.. Baker declared ne
had told the truth and that from the
action of the jurors 1T was apparen to
him that they had already decided lp-
on what action will be taken against
the packers. 1t was also persistelitly
rumored about the federal off ces
where the jury is sitting, that prep
arations are being made to return IN
dictments within short time put
whether the indictments will charge

Jury or interference with witnes ses,
could not be ascertained.
II believe that the jurors have n AIDE

Mr.. Baker, after he left the jury room.
'They seem to thoroughly unders and
the situation and we got along fine
together. I was not asked II any
one had approached me or anything
along that line, so l say they Enow
what have been doing since l came

did you tell anything that might

Baker was asked.
yes, think / did. told every

did you present any documentary
evidence?" he was asked.

had the entire matter well in mind.
The jury adjourned last night until
Monday.
