to show buyers and settlers from
the East the regularity and the
wealth of irrigated crops from
year to year. All seekers for
irrigated lands from the whole
country east of the Missouri
River appear to be from Missouri
and "have to be shown and this
was one of the chief reasons why
the Burlington hauled out 5000
laborers thousand miles to the
basin to hurry up this line
through the irrigated land of
the Big Horn Valley, so that the
army of persons going to register
for Shoshone lands could see and
appreciate the value OF irrigated
lands enroute. The new Worlaud
line goes right through a zone of
irrigated lands extending all the
way from Frannie along the Big
Horn River, traversing single
tracts of 10000 acres under Gull
tivation.
TIE railroads have also shown
their interest in the enterprise of
settling up the new West by
undertaking to bring out the
largest possible number of entries
for this drawing with unusually
low excursion rates, the main
motive being to get the people
out and scatter them over the
new lands of the West.

,ening of the Shoshone or Wind River
Reservation in Wyoming.

The Presidents proclamation
opening the Shoshone reservation
lands for settlement has been
published and prescribes the plan
of drawing for these lands, which
has proved so successful with
other Agencies. Applicants are
to register at Worland, Their,
mopolis, Shoshone, or Lander in
Wyoming, between July 10th and
3lst. The subsequent drawing
for these lands will be held at
Lander commencing August 4th,
the drawing to be supervised by
a committee of three persons of
undoubted integrity. Parties
can return home after register
ing, and the successful ones are
notified by card when and where
to appear to make filings for the
LAND drawn.
The Shoshone area comprises
about 100000 acres of agri-
cultural lands to be drawn for,
and the government made a
remarkably cheap settlement
with the Indians so that the
cost is not going to exceed $l.5O
an acre for the agricultural lands,
except, of course, the additional
cost on the prorate plan for the
irrigation works to be built.
Sixty days after August 18th,
those seeking TINT Der and mineral
claims can cross the border and
take up these claims under the
timber and mineral act, and all
persons are especially admonished
by the Government not to at
tempt to jump mineral or timber
claims or to enter the Reserva-
ton for that purpose prior to the
appointed time.
1t has been a close race be-
tween the building of the Bur-
lington's Worland extension up
the Big Horn River and the open
ing date for this registration,
and the most remarkable energy
has been put into the work BY
the railroad to get this line
finished to Worland by the 4tt
of July. Two or three daily
shifts of laborers are laying raj
day and night, and right behind
the steel gang come the ballast
trains loaded from an immense
gravel bed on the right.of-way
1t is certain that the Burlington
line will be finished to WorlanC
probably two weeks before July
10th, which is the first day o
registration.

ANOTHER FLAME. CAME NEAR PROVING
 DISASTROUS.
Timely Discovery by Patrolman Hig- ginbotham Perhaps Saved Many
 Thousands Dollars

Fire came near destroying the Star saloon of George Black, on East Bar raque street, Saturday morning at l 30 o'clock, together with the pool room and liquor store adjoining, and but for the timely discovery of the flames by Patrolman Higginbotham, the entire block, in which are situat- ed number of splendid buildings might have been destroyed.
 Officer Higginbotham was two blocks from the scene of the fire when his attention was attracted by the re- fection of the flames against the sky, and promptly turned in an alarm to the fire department.
 The fire started from flue in the partition between the saloon proper and the store room, and the latter was badly damaged in the interior be- fore the fire was extinguished. Had the room not been closed. which pre- vented a draft, the entire building would no doubt have been destroyed and as it was the damage amounted to several hundred dollars.
