Vast Benefit to People.

The Republican has already outlined
the experiments to be carried on under
the Adams fund bill, and the sheep to
be used are being gathered by the
station. They will be paid for when
the money is due, n every expense
will be met from the fund. The e.
periments are expected to be of vast
benefit to the people of the state, as
was intended they should be when the
bill was framed, and the report to be
made by the Wyoming station will be
watched with some interest, as fore
~sightedness entered as well into the
calculations as the dollars themselves.

That Western Hustle.

The western hustle" the director
commends is the result of the prevail,
ing spirit in Wyoming to get as much
done as possible for the benefit of the
state, and in this instance Senator
Warren, the executive committee Of
the University of Wyoming and the
director of the station simply employed
the spirit rampant, coupled with a
good deal of sound horse sense, and
accomplished what some stations did
not do. The law provides that before
any of the Adams fund becomes avail
able for an experiment station con,
tracts shall have been entered into for
its use; in other words, the funds are
to be used in meeting the expenses in

My Dear Buffum:-I have yours of
July II, and am very glad to know
that you were able to use the Adams
fund for last year. In that respect you
did a great deal better than a majority
of the station directors. 1t was a case
where your western hustle told. I have
heard from several of the directors
that, owing to the very short time,
they were not able to use any Of the
Adams fund.
Il am interested in what you write
about the stations condition. 1t seems
to me you are on the right road, and I
believe you will be able to make the
Wyoming station a conspicuous n
among the stations of the west.
with kind regards, very sincerely
yours, e. W. ALLEN,
