the people on a subject about which
but little was known ten years ago,
outside of the states and territories
included in the arid regions of the
United States. One who has been alive
to the subject has marked the rapid
change in public sentiment with refer
ence to this great question.
A Home for Millions.
THAT the next quarter of a century
shall, through irrigation works, public
and private, change the entire coun-
try west of the hundredth meridian
and make places and homes for mil
lions of people, is a fact now conceded
by all familiar with the subject. The
results, 1 believe, will be equal to the
doubling of the strength of the nation.
Il am safe in saying that the irriga-
ton works o being constructed will
cost fully a hundred million of dollars,
while the projects being contemplated
and being Investigated for early inlti-
alton win cost hundreds of millions Of
dollars.
Has Done Full Share.
The irrigation congress has done
its full share of the good work, yet it
has only commenced. Let those who
shall constitute the congresses always
have in view the one question, How
can they best promote and forward
the reclamation of the arid regions of
the United States?'
An Ideal Location.
Boise is an ideal place for the con
crosses. The rapid development of Ida
hos agricultural interests, through ir-
rigation works, is a great object les
son Seeing what is being done will
remove the last doubt on this great
subject among those who shall be so
fortunate as to attend the congress-

With C, p. Arnold, president of the
club, in h chair, the Laramie Lit
erary club held a very interesting meet
ing last night, at the Carnegie public
library. There was a good attendance
OF members, with several visitors, n
the discussions were animated.
High Prices for Sheep.
F. S. King, in his paper upon sheep.
spoke of the origins of the present
breeds and the high prices that have
at all times of the worlds history been
paid for good animals. As ~ illustra-
ton Of the importance in which the
bree,ing of sheep has always been held
in England, he menti1rsI tina: the
lord chancellor still, sits IN the house
of lords upon a wool sack as a re-
minder to the house of the value of
sheep to the country. Mr.. King showed
the differentiation of the various
breeds and the special good qualities
shown by each. He quoted statistics
to show that the number of sheep in
the world is decreasing, both as re-
CARDS proportion to population and as
to actual numbers. He ascribed this
decrease to the fact that the world
is eating up It's sheep, although the
amount of wool shorn from each sheep
has increased several hundred per cent
of late years.
Saloons and Licenses.
A. N. Hasenkamp, who spoke upon
the subject of power of the saloon ele-
ment in a community, ikened the lie
ensing of saloons to the licensing of
doctors and giving them permission to
spread a disease. Alcohol in the hui
man system acts like a disease, he
said, and brings in its train gambling,
social evils and many other ills, Mr..
Hasenkamp laid the blame for the liq-
uor traffic upon the better element in
communities, n sited several in
stances which have come in his
experience to show the eason why the
traffic is allowed to exist. He spoke
