Dry FARMING Experiments,

The Cheyenne. Wyoming, board of
trade has arranged for the continual
rion in 1906 of the dry farming expert
ments commenced this year in Lara
mie county only. The arrangements
for 1906. however, take in a larger area
of territory. DR.. V. r. Cooke of Port
land, Oregon. the expert retained by
the board OF trade, will direct expert
ments in northern Colorado, western
Nebraska, Laramie. Converse, Weston
and Sheridan counties, Wyoming.
The board of trade will purchase
farm machinery and teams. These will
be loaned to the farmers in the dis
tricts mentioned who are willing to
try dry farming, but who DO not feel
like making an outlay for that pur-
pose.
The particular method of dry farm
ing advocated by DR.. Cooke emDodies
land following, or the plowing and
working over of the land during one
entire year to place it in condition to
produce crops during the ensuing
year. Good results were obtained near
Cheyenne this year on land which had
not been fallowed. but muc:l greater
success is expected to be obtained on
land which was fallowed this year and
which will be planted next year.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Election and Franchise Ordinances
 COnsidered-No Action.

There was special meeting of the city council yesterday afternoon. It was called mainly for the purpose of formulating and passing the necessary ordinance calling and providing for the annual city election. It was also un- derstood there would be a considera- tion of the resolution designed to in- ject new life into the Jerry Millay tel ephone franchise which is now in the possession of the Phoenix Independent Telephone company. Both matters were considered to some extent with the re- suit that nothing was done concerning either.
 The council, in view of the near ap- proach of the election does not seem inclined to take action on the resolu- ton affecting the franchise. preferfng to leave the matter to the people through the submission to them at the election, of new franchise for accept ance or rejection, so that whatever is done will be done by the voters and the responsibility will not rest on the coun- cilmen. Previously, however, the coun- cil will carefully examine the proposed ordinance granting a new franchise and make such provisions as meet their ideas in the case before submitting the matter to the people. This will take a little study and the matter was there fore left in the hands of the ordinance committee to act upon as soon as pos sible.
 As the franchise if submitted to the people will have to be provided for in the regular election ordinance, that document could not be completed until after the franchise was prepared, hence there was no action yesterday. These matters will probably be attended to at special meeting to be held some time next week. The delay cannot be long for the election ordinance has to be very soon to come within the re- quirements of the law.
