Engineer of Wyoming says that the ir-
rigation plans now being completed for
the Shoshone Reservation lands that
are 20 be thrown open 10 homesteaders
provide for the irrigation of 300, 600
races Of the finest agricultural land in
the west The soil, SAYS Mr. johnson,
il better and more uniform in quality
than in other irrigated lands and the
water supply Of the Big Wind River
cannot be surpassed anywhere.
The soil is sandy loan, gently slop
ing 70 the south and east and the only
part that cannot be irrigated are a few
ridges that serve as wind breaks and
shelter the agricultural country. In
fact. stockmen have admitted that this
section Of Wyoming does not make a
good winter range for the reason that
the wind does not blow and the snow
lies on a level. making forage condi
tions less desirable than where the
wind is heavy.
The ceded portion Of the reservation
lands lie from forty six hundred to
6fty.six hundred feet above the sea
level, aud the farming which has been
done along the river shows results that
indicate that all kinds Of crops can be

ONE OF the most notable changes
In the recent political campaign
was the Inauguration of the adver-
tisement as means of securing
votes. The Independence League
in New York and the Lindsey and
Socialist campaigns in Colorado
have used this method very largely.
As this is being written before the
ballots have been counted it is too
soon to judge of results. but that is
q method that has come to

The Independence League organ

lies throughout the state in the
same manner that large CONNER
cial concerns like the Royal Baking
Powder Co. or the Douglas Shoe
people do. The result is that an
audience is gained flor the argu-
ments IN behalf of the side pur-
chasing the space at less cost per-
haps than that of the speakers bu-
reau. At any rate it shows the
drift OF events. No large enter

THE NEGLECTED. CITIZEN.

He never registers at all;
He has no time to hear the call
or public duty in his ear;
His private work takes all his care.
He does not like to mingle In
The primary's rude push and din,
Nor take the trouble that il means
TO circumvent the "boss' machines.
He has no graft to gain, and thus
He saves himself lot of fuss.
But when things wrong and crooked go,
He's first to say, II told you So"
He does not mix In politics;
He thinks II Just lot of tricks;
He leaves II to the men who made
its management paying trade,
And will not go outside his door
To look the situation DER.
He knows naught of the candidate,
Nor of the issues he doth make;
He knows that on election day,
II busy, from the polls he'll stay.
Yet when bad men are voted in,
And trickery and corruption win,
And good men, voted out, must go,
He's first to say, ~ told you so!'
When bosses henchmen take their seat,
And in law-making halls they meet,
And disregard the public need
In clever loot and graft and greed,
Spend public funds for private waste,
Laugh when with public anger faced;
When business feels the burdens high
Piled by misrule on industry;
When public work IL but half done,
And public funds to riot run;
When all to ruin seems TO go,
He's first to cry, 81 told you so!i

Now that the election is over it
is safe for lot of monoplies to
come out with increased prices on
the necessaries of life and it is in
this way that they show their Glow
en- hoofs. A cracker trust for Den
yer was held in abeyance until
Wednesday of this week when it
was sprung on an unsuspecting
public with scale of prices fully
twenty-five per cent higher than
ever known before. The meat
folks have also been getting busy
and have increased the schedule to
unheard of heights so that poor
people are quite unable to induldge
in the luxury of pot roast or a
beefsteak once in while. The re-
tail butchers of Denver are this
week required to pay twelve cents
net for pork loins yet hogs on the
hoof have advanced not at all
for the past year or two. The
range on beef prices is more mark
ed than those ruling on pork. All
groceries, fruits, provisions and
even coal have advanced this week
and the end is likely to lead us in
to Obvious passages. We were GER
tainly unfortunate when we fell in
to ways of the trusts nor is it en-
couraging to note that we still
keep voting for the same old poll

"Well the old farm had been in the

years, and they worked it for all there

mortgage on it and handed it down to
his son Silas. And Silas died and left

"No, he didn't. The holder of the

his money. The widow sighed and
said: You'll have to take the farm.
