Going After Settlers.

Going After Settlers.
Mr.. Bells scheme is unique and is
yet to be tried. He has thousands Of
acres, plenty of water and immense
herds of sheep and cattle. He will di-
vide the land into tracts of eighty
acres, four such tracts %cornering at the
same spot. He will plant the tracts
to grain, provide bitches to carry the
water, stock them with horses and i'm,
|plements and sell them to men direct
from the east. He will go east in the
midst of the growing season, selecting
some section of the middle west where
the farms are mostly rented, and there
engage his prospective settlers. Gath
ering these at a certain point, Mr.. Bell
proposes to bring them to Laramie in
"a special train, where they will be in
.troduced to the merchants and banks
of the city, made acquainted with local
conditions and shown over the educa-
tional facilities of the city and state,
this city being the seat of the Univer-
sity of Wyoming, including the normal
college, the school of commerce, the
school of mines, the college of music
and the state agricultural college and
United States experiment station.
Visitor Will Become Resident.
Colonel Bell will take his visitors to
the ranch behind the best teams he has
on the ranch. They will be taken to
costs set at the common corners of the
four eighty-acre tracts, where they will
find a new wagon and harness, a good
for each tract. The fields will be in
the very pink of cultivation, with every
foot covered with its waving field of
grain. The deed to the tract will be
shown, carrying absolute title to the
land and an undisputed right to water
enough to bring it under irrigation. The
visitors will be asked to take the land
as it is shown them, buying n or
more tracts as they see fit. Suitable
and equitable terms of payment will be
agreed upon at that moment n the
visitor will become a resident, with a
crop ready made, a farm ready stock
ed and with a deed ready filed and
ready to be acknowledged.
Will Keep Faith With Buyers.
Mr.. Bell lays it is his intention to
misrepresent not a fact on his eastern
visit. He will tell the prospective buy
.ers what ne has to show them and then
keep his word by ocular demonstra-
ton. He believes that from the pro-
ceeds of these sales he will have funds
enough to build huge reservoirs for the
storage Of surplus water from the
mountains, by means of which he will
be able to reclaim large tracts of land
higher than can be reached by the
natural flow of the river. These he
will also dispose of in the same way,
Colonel Bell is planning for a large
amount of blowing this spring, in the
furtherance of his proposed scheme
which will be sown to grain, planted tc
potatoes and cultivated with the crops
which are known by experience to be
susceptible of profitable growth here
Including field peas for the %fattenine
lof lambs.

his son Jared noticed his horse at the

thing must be wrong. He made a
search and found him lying dead
