A Picturesque Trip,

]. Z. Mclaughlin returned to Cody
on Thursday evening, last, with his
party, consisting of II. S Pierpont, of
New York City: Howard Corleis, also
OF New York and Geary Spaulding, of
Buffalo. They we're out sixty-seven
days, an unusually long outing, and
were successful enough to get the full
limit on game with the exception of
of the wiley mountain sheep. The fol-
lowing is a description of the long cir
~cuitous trip:
They started out up the South Fork,
lake, back to the head of the South
Fork, from there they went over on to
DeNoir river, a branch of the Wind
river, then down to the government
road, travelling this till the well known
Sheridan trail was reached at Grovont,
a tributary of the Snake, going up to
its head, from which point they took
the trail over on to Green river and on
into Hobach basin, following the Ho-
bach until it intersected the Snake at
""Sn'o' ioi'' Nv Up w ""S i'"'h
of Pacific creek and IN up to Two
Ocean pass and out by way of Thor
oughfare and back by the way of Deer
creek which landed them at Valley,
the "Hunter's Rest" the homelike APP
pearance of which was very gratifying
to the pleasure seekers. The gentle
men said words failed to express the
pleasure and satisfaction they exper-
fenced and they were sure they would
repeat the trip another year.

A BIG IRRIGA-
TON DEAL
Big Horn Basin Development
Company Sells to Capitalists.
Old Plans to Be Carried
Out.
New Company Said to Represent
Several Million Dollars.

One of the biggist irrigation deals
ever made in Wyoming has just been
concluded in Chicago, according t in
formation received by Senator c. A.
Guernsey. The deal involves all hold
ings ofthe Big HornBasin Development
company, which is promoting the great
Oregon Basin irrigation project, one of
the los colossal projects in the Unit
ed States.
The Big Horn Basin Development
company included Ex-Governor A. Il.
Bliss, of Michigan, DR.. L. w. Bliss, f.
c. Rutan, of Chicago, and Senator C.
A. Guernsey, of Cheyenne. They have
disposed of their property to a syndi-
cate of twenty Chicago capitalists,
headed by President Hamilton, of the
Banksrs' association of the United
States the syndicate taking up the $780,
600 of the old company.
While the figures in the deal will
not be divulged, its magnitude may be
judged by the fact that there are 240,-
900 acres of land which will be reclaim
ed and sold under the Carey act at $780,
an acre, the total possible returns
being 81, 200, 900. Governor Bliss
share is said to be in the neighborhood
of 100000 clear above the amount in
vested. He was treasurer of the com
pany.
The company was formed four years
ago to construct u mammouth irriga.
ito, canal in Big Horn county, i@kins
water from the Shoshone river to the
Oregon basin, a great natural reser-
voir with a storage capacity sufficient
to irrigate all the land for two years
From this great basin distributing
canals are to be constructed to carry
the water onto the land. The total
length of the canal will be over 12U
miles and the cost of the enterprise
will be about 81, OOO, 900, being the
largest private irrigation project in
America. The new company will cal
ry out the plans of the old company
and the syndicate which has acquired
control of the enterprise is said to rep
resent many millions of dollars.
