rate. The federal government
through the workings of the ma
tional irrigation law, is doing
much for the state, while its citi
zens themselves are not losing
sight of their opportunities.
Appreciation of this fact can be
gained by a visit to the state engi-
neers office, where the most re-
markable activity prevails. En-
gineer Johnston informs us that
there is an amazing number of
small irrigation projects on foot.
for the most part being promoted
by local capital. In johnson
county this is particularly so. In
that county there are half a dozen
projects under way, all of which
will result in increasing the irri-
gable acreage of the county.
In Converse county a project Of
some magnitude has been started
neal the town of Douglas. 4
number of wealthy men residing
in Douglas have banded together
for the purpose of building "A res
ervoir and ditch to reclaim some
ten thousand acres lying south
west of the town. Under the di-
rection of the state engineer, one
of his assistants. Mr.. +. G.. Emer-
son, has made a highly satisfac-
tory survey of a reservoir on the
La Prele, from which a fifteen
mile canal will distribute water
OH the land to be reclaimed. The
estimated cost of the project com
plete Will be Sl60,0O0.
This can more wealth to Wy
oming. 1t means the creation of
wealth by Selling an opportunity
which presents itself. With the
establishment of each new and
successful irrigation system in
Wyoming, an inspiration is given
to the rest of the state. What
has been done in one section may
be accomplished in another: and
so it goes, each leading to some
thing else, and the ball of pros
perity, once started increases dali
ly. The ball is already rolling

ELK MOUNTAIN PROPERTY

The property owned by w. w.
and A. L.. Petty, over OF Elk
mountain is proving to be an ex-
cellent prospect. Mr.. Petty says
that they have about 500 worth of
ore on the dump and that there is
plenty more in sight. The lead
is seventeen feet wide and the
high grade ore is eleven inches
wide with three feet on lower
grade with the balance showing
some mineral. They have sunk a
shaft 20 feet deep and run in from
there 40 feet and struck the lead
and the high grade ore runs $3.50
to the ton. Mr.. Petty has unlim-
tied faith in his property turning
out to be one of the best in that
part of the country.

long seige of prolonged illness,
lasting for the past two month.
She was taken down by a stroke
of paralysis and has fingered ever

FOUND HIS SADDLE.

Robert Greig, who lost his new
saddle last fall found it recently
under rather peculiar circum-
stances. The saddle was made by
Edwards Brothers, of this place,
and was the only one of its kind,
full stamped and round skirted,
and at the time it was lost it was
almost a brand new saddle. Mr..
Greig's horse got away from him
one night when it was tied in
front of the residence of Chas. p.
Clemmons. The horse was recov-
cred next day minus the saddle.
Greig advertised for the saddle
for several weeks, but heard no.
thing of it until the other day
almost a year after losing it some
one was at the barn of Chas. Nit
walsky and seeing the saddle
hanging in the barn, recognized
it. He telephoned to Greig at
Rawlins, who came up at once,
and swearing out a search war
rant he went to the barn and found
his saddle, and then swore out
another warrant for the arrest of
Chas. Mitwalsky, who claimed.
when he vas arraigned before the
justice, that he had bought the
saddle from a man last winter and
that he thought he WAS in Idaho
Falls and that he did not know
about Greig's loosing the saddle,
nor does he remember .hc mans
name of whom he purchased the
saddle. Mitwalsky was held to
the district court in $500 bond,
which he furnished.

of the company.
There has always been one
prime difficulty heretofore in the
matter of railroad building into
this valley-money. But in the
present case. while the officers
and trustees of the company are
local men, they have given ample
proof that they are possession of
sufficient means to not only con-
struct the road, but to equip the

The survey adopted was made
by f. e. Cramer of Encampment
for Willis George Emerson, and
after crossing from Walcott, over
into Pass creek, it runs up that
stream to a point near the ranch
of George II. Allen. From there
it passes through a low point and
ON to the Bullock ranch, (now
owned by E. T.. .Lufkin,) down in
to Saratoga. From Saratoga we
are not able to say whether the
line will continue up the North
Platte river, OIL follow up Spring
creek and cross over to Encamp-
ment.
From Hon. w. c. Henry and
Frank Cramer, the vice-president
and chief engineer of the new
road. who passed through here
Tuesday, on their way to Encamp-
ment, the Sun learns much of in
terest concerning the proposed
construction of the line. Mr..
Cramer says he has an ideal sur-
vey from Walcott to this place.
there being but four slight curves
in the entire distance, and no
where is there more than n | per

Mr.. Cramer and Mr.. Henry are
both of the opinion that the road
from here to Encampment will go
up Spring creek rather than
through the Encampment river
canon, though this matter will moi
be determined until IA final survey
lis run over the ground. Mr.,
Cramer, who will have charge of
the construction of the line, says
work will begin within a very
short time after the preliminary
work is complete.

NOTES ON THE

The most Interesting part of
the next days travel was the
crossing of the Luciau cutoff. the
railroad bridge over Salt Lake,
the great inland sea. This is an
engineering feat that has never
been surpassed, if it has ever been
equalled. One hears many re-
ports of this cut-otf-that it is
dangerous; that it is sinking: that
the the train sways as it passes
over it, etc. But all these reports
are untrue. For many miles out
into the lake there is a solid rock
road bed that is as firm as any
portion OF the road built on solid
land. Then there comes a long
stretch where the road rests on
piles. and this. too. seems to be
perfectly safe. The distance
across the lake cannot be less than
20 miles, and half the distance
that through the deepest part of
the lake. the road rests on piling.
For many miles after leaving
the lake the road runs through a
very low, fiat country. almost as
level as a floor and utterly barren
of any kind of vegetation. giving
it a singularly desolate appear
ance.
There is very little to be said of

the most unprepossessing part of
the state, as it does through Wv
oming. The mountains in this
state are, so far ms | could observe
from the train. entirely barren of

EASTER RECIPES.

Five Ways OF Making Eggs Into
TOOthsOme Dishes.
Here are some recipes for making
Easter eggs, not the colored kind, but
the edible variety:
Baked Eggs.-Break six eggs into q
well buttered dish, cover with bread
crumbs, season with pepper, salt and
butter, then cover with cream. Bake
twenty minutes and serve hot.
Egg Salad.-Use the required number
Of hard boiled eggs. Remove the yolks
carefully, so as to leave them whole,
and chop the whites. Serve on lettuce
leaves with boiled dressing and balls
Of cottage cheese.
Eggs a la MISUNDERSTANDING
butter the bottom of a baking dish,
then cover with grated cheese; break
eggs upon cheese without breaking the
yolks, season with pepper and salt
and little cream, cover with grated
cheese and bake brown on top.
Escaloped Eggs.-Cover the bottom
of well buttered dish with bread
crumbs, then layer of sliced hard
boiled eggs, covering with a cream
sauce to which the yolk Of an egg has
been added, then a layer Of finely
chopped meat, preferably ham or
chicken; then eggs and sauce, with
crumbs on top. Bake until light
brown.
Egg Thimbles. Chop fine any good
cold meat. To one cup OF meat add a
scant cup OF breadcrumbs, pepper and
salt to taste and mix with beaten egg.
II necessary add little milk to make
stiff batter. Line timbale molds, bot
tom and sides, with paste and drop an
egg, without breaking, in center of
each. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top
and bake brown. Gem pans may be
used in place of timbale molds.

one ON Joe Cannon.

When Frank Hatton was postmaster
general, Speaker Cannon, who was then
just plain representative from Dan
vile, ILL.,, took a constituent to the
postofiice department to see Hatton,
The constituent wanted to be postmas-
ter OF a village In Cannon's district.
Cannon was bitterly opposed to him,
but did not want to turn him down
openly
When they reached the department
Cannon left the would be postmaster
outside the screen door and went In to
see Hatton. He told Hatton he intend.
ed to bring the man in and ask for the
place for him, but begged Hatton to
refuse II.
where's the manT asked Hatton.
"Just outside the door," Cannon re-
piled.
I'm that case" replied Hatton, rails
ing his voice so he could be heard a
city block, II want You to know have
lying enough to do here without lying
for you. Bring him In"
Cannon brought him in, and Hatton
blandly appointed him.
