Frank DOnnelly, the other day at
Springfield. how seldom nowadays
baseball men and fans get together for
an hour of social conversation on the
game and players. In the earlier days,
the biggest games were often played
out in front of hotels after supper Sci
dom was it that the two teams failed
to line up either along the sidewalks
edge, or against the wall. where, with
chairs tilted back and with cigars in
their teeth, each took a turn at spin
ming a yarn on some real or imagin-
airy big game or telling joke on a for
mer playing partner. Now. the old
hands get together occasionally, but
owing to their scarcity. little tanning
is done. The. young bucks haven't

Staff Correspondence.

Thermopolis, Wyo., June 14.-The
county o from Basin City to Their
mopolis leads up the Big Horn river
the entire distance. The general ap-
pearance of the country is much the
same as from Cody to the Grey Bull
until Worland is passed. We follow
along the railroad grade for many
miles, until it leads down to the river
crossing. Big canal enterprises are
going forward as fast as capital and
labor can push them. The irrigating
ditch will make a vast change. Crops
of all kinds can be raised in great
abundance and fruit of many varieties
is successful. To the right men and
teams are working on the Big Horn
canal, which will carry water to the
rich bench lands west of the river for
a distance of more than thirty miles.
Occasionally farmers are seen tilling
the soil or clearing it of sage brush.
WIN Redeem Large Area.
The Hanover canal is another big
enterprise that will bring life to thou
sands of acres of Big Horn lands. 1t
will take years of patient, hard labor
to develop the lands under these gi-
gantic bitches, but when the work is
consummated it will mean prosperity
and happiness to thousands of people
for all time to come. Once tied to the
soil, the farmer and his successor be-
come permanent and the development
goes on and IN. In this section the sea
son is sufficiently long to permit of the
raising of tomatoes and corn. The
