Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2S.-Con'
Mondell of Wyoming, chair
man of the committee on irrigation of
arid lands, was the first witness for
the government yesterday in the Kan
sas-Colorado suit. He believed S,OO0,-
900 acres could be irrigated in Wyo-
ming in addition to 1000, 900 acres now
under irrigation, but the reclamation
act of 1902. could not be carried on
successfully under the riparian doc,
trine claimed by Kansas.
Mr.. Mondell thought the act could
best be administered by the construc.
ton OF a series of reservoirs along the
streams near the mountains and also
in the states below. He believes that
a large percentage of the water used
in the irrigation of lands eventually
returned to the streams and could be
again Used tor irrigation and other
purposes.

lar Accident to Switch Engine in
Yards at Green River-WiII Seek
Pardon.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 2S.-As the re.
suit of the new bounty law passed by
the last Legislature, which reduces the
amount of bounty paid on coyotes,
trappers all over the state are giving
up their vocations. They claim that
wolves are very scarce and there is no
money in trapping these animals, and
that the reduced bounty on coyotes
makes trapping unsuccessful and a
losing proposition. Heretofore the
high bounties in Wyoming. it is claim
ed, resulted in many hides being ship
ped in from surrounding states. so mat
the appropriation of two year ago,
amounting to 100000, was exhausted
in n year. Now the bounties are so
small that it is believed most of the
$4,000 appropriated will be left at
the end of the two years.
