Can Make Their Own Boxes.

The Postmaster General has issued an
order, which will become effective Aug
ust LIST, that rural route patrons can
make their own mail boxes. Following
is the text of the order:
"Ordered, That order No. 739, issued
July 8, 1902, requiring that each person
desiring rural delivery service erect at
his own expense box, and prescribing
the material, workmanship and style of
such boxes, is hereby amended so as to
provide that individuals who desire to
comply with said requirements by hav
ing box made to order may do SO by
submitting the plan Of such box and
sample of the material of which it is
to be constructed, or the box itself, for
approval to the postmaster at a post
office located at the county seat or the
postmaster of any first or second class
postoffice located in the county where
rural delivery is in operation. And in
case rural delivery is not in operation
at the county seat and there are no
first or second class postoffices in the
county, to the postmaster at any post
Office in the county where rural de-
livery is in operation.
"And if the box shall be found to
conform to the requirements of the
specifications of the department, the
postmaster shall certify the same to the
department and authorize and require
the owner to paint in a conspicuous
place on the box the words Approved
by the Postmaster General"

most of the land the government is 60
ing to water but do not like it for the
man that get land close to the main
ditch will be the best off in all respects
as he will be closer to the range and
his land will not be begged by waste
water coming from other mems land.
The basin is mostly filed up with Iowa
people, about two-thirds being from
Iowa and they are the most successful
farmers in the country.
Along the Big Horn river the altitude
is 5000 and 1000 and is good vegeta-
BILE and fruit country and will probably
be great sugar beet country in the
near future. A new beet factory is to
be built at Warland.
Every thing is high here this year.
Horses are being shipped from the east
and selling at good profits. Last year
they were shipping horses east but are
now shipping them back and paying
more money. A few weeks ago eggs
we're 81 dozen in Thermopolisland
everything else is accordingly high.
There is all kinds of mineral here also
oil. Copper and gold are being mined
at Copper mount near Thermoplis and
at Kirwin in the Shoshone mountains
they are mining copper that goes $4,000
per ton.
Coal is mined here that is very much
like the Pennsylvania. What coal is
mined is just for home use for as yet
the mines are not developed. There is
an awful rush of people coming into the
basin now-about 200 per day-an6
workingmen are scarce all over the
basin.
The Shoshone reservation will oper
in August. There is about 1,000,00(
acres in it. Only small portion of i
is good land and lays along Wind rive
and Owl and Muddy creeks. The Ow
mountains are full of mineral and ther'
: will be many mining claims there.
There will be lots of people fooled

They expect 100000 people to registe
q for this land.
There are some good energetic littl

business men having come from Iowa.
Garland Basin and Warland have prom
Use of bright future. Thermopolis is at
present about the size of Cody but /
think it will be the best town in the
basin as it is there where the Big Horn
hot springs are claimed to be as good if
tive properties. The temperature of
the water is 135 degrees Fahrenheit
and is recommended for rheumatism
catarrh, stomach trouble and nervous
prostration. These springs flow an es-
timated volume of 100000 gallons per
day.
Meeteetse is the Oldest town of the
basin and is known as the cowboy town
and is where the cowboy of earlier
days used to spend his money and see
real life some of the old buildings still
bear the marks of some years ago.
The typical cowboy and the old time
roundup wagon will soon be a thing of
the past. The fast developing Of this
country and the stream of settlers COM
ing in will do away with the big cattle
outfits and instead of the roundup
wagon this land will all be fenced and
there will be only lease riding.
Wyoming think in the future will be
second Pennsylvania and the town of
Sheridan on the east side of the Big
Horn mountains will be second
Denver. Yours truly,

Wyoming Letter.

Meeteetse, Wyoming, July 4, 1906.
EDITOR REPoRTER:-l have received
several letters from friends in Decatur
county and would like to answer them
through the columns Of your paper.
DEAR FRIENDS AND READERS OF THE
REpoRTER:-As have received several
letters asking me about the Big Horn
basin will try and give you true de-
scription as have seen it.
The Big Horn basin is large net
work of rivers furnishing large
amount of water for irrigating purposes.
The basin is bounded on the east by the
Big Horn mountains, on the south by
the Owl Creek mountains, on the west
by the Shoshone and Rocky mount
aims and on the north by the Pryor
mountains, these are small range OF
mountains in the Crow reservation
which give the basin natural advant-
age in protecting it from the storms
that sweep over other parts of this
state. Everything is on the boom and
land that sold three years ago for SO or
$40 is now selling for $50 and $50 and
also where they thought land was not
worth taking have been turned into fine
farms. Some parts of the basin are
fine land while other parts are no good
on account of the alkali and the range
is no good. Around the towns of Conley
and Lowell the country is large alkali
flats and nothing grows in the hills
except salt sage, not a particle OF grass
Along the valley of the Gray Bull river
is the best range part Of the basin, il
not of the state of Wyoming. In some
places the grass is knee high and the
cattle are fat now. The greatest draw
back of this country up till this veal
was the lack of railroads but as the
Burlington and the Northwestern are
building in here it will open up the
best country in Wyoming. The North
western have their line completed int
Shoshone City and the Burlington viii
soon be into Warland.
While was at Cody l visited thu

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn
that there is at least dreaded disease that scene
has been able to in all its stages and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires constitution
acting drtctly upon the blood and surfaces of
the systeme thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient strength by building
work. The proprietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer Hundred Dollars
