Editorial Correspondence
Lander, Wyo., Aug. 9-Although the
editors Of Wyoming were dined and
danced by the Lander Lady Boosters
till late at night, they up bright
n early on the morning Of their sec.
ond days session, an adjournment hav.
ing been taken till 8 a. m. Doesn't
that sound a trifle strenuous? Editors
going to work after dancing all night
at 8 o'clock in the morning. 1t is
merely force OF habit, however, with
the added incentive Of a ride to the
country and a dutch lunch at the or.
chards Of Mr.. Ed Young. The ses-
sions of the association have been
marked by harmony and good feeling
throughout. In the election of officers
and the selection of a place of meeting
there wal no contest.
Just Walkers Way.
The resolutions caused the only rip
pie. Secretary Walker injecting into
them, through the committee. some
anti-administration land dope" 1t Is
simply Walkers way. He goes on the
theory that there is a fight on every
where and that I'VE must win out over
the other fellows" and then when he
wins" he works it to a finish with
the men whom he is lighting for.
This helps keep up the interest among
the men who supply the sinews Of wal.
Non-partisans ovsrruIsd.
A couple of members of the associa.
ton urged with considerable force that
it was not proper for . purely non
partisan organization, working for the
social and business advantage Of all.
to consider any question upon which
there was a marked division of senti'
ment In the state. They g yer
ruled. however, and the resolutions
we're passed. The d%issenters we're the
business manager OF the Sheridan Post.
Mr.. Hard, the business manager Of
the Cheyenne Tribune. Mr.. Walton.
and the editor Of The Republican.
There remain for Mr.. Walkers opera,
tons the state church organizations.
the Sunday schools, the secret socie-
ties and the women's clubs, but he is
making progress mighty fast His
grey matter takes to resolutions as a
duck to water.
The Young Orchards.
Lander is known as the apple
City" 1t has gained this nickname
through the orchards of Mr.. Ed Young,
some fourteen miles away, on the Lit
tie Popo Agie. The start is made at
10 a. M, behind good teams. To the
south of Lander the country Is rolling
and is covered with sagebrush. 1t is
not such a grass country as lies In
southeastern Wyoming, but the magic
touch Of water works a wonderful
transformation Fields Of grain and
alfalfa greet the eye in almost every
direction and there are some fine mea-
dows Of native hay. The Little Popo
Agile reminds one Of the Little Lara
mie. The amount of water is about
the same, the fall is apparently equal,
and 1t is the home Of the fnny tribe
in endless quantity-so the anglers
told us.
Fell Down az Anglers.
Two or three members Of the edi'
torial party tried to prove the exist.
ence Of trout, but made such an abject
failure Of the effort that they are rec.
commended to take more brain food be-
fore they attempt it again Mr..
Young's orchard lie in a veritable
pocket at the point where the Little
Popo Agile passes from the mountains
to the agricultural lands below. The
fruit trees look exceedingly healthy
and prolific. but this is an OF year for
them and there is little show of fruit.
On every hand there ia evidence of
the thrift and energy Of the proprietor.
His trees are cultivated just as a good
farmer would cultivate a field Of corn.
Not Z weed Is to be seen among them,
and the small fruits are looked after
with the same painstaking care.
