A DRAWING ADVERTISEMENT.

The state board of immigration haj
made n contract with Mr.. d. C. Now,
lin, state game warden, and Hon. S. n.
Leek, whereby Wyoming is going to re.
ceive some mighty good advertising,
Mr.. Leek has secured some OF the In,
est photographs Of big game and Rocky
Mountain grandeur now eXtant and
these have been reproduced in slides
and films. The board is also having
prepared something like one hundred
slides representing irrigation scenes.
splendid ranch homes, fields of grain
herds of magnificent Wyoming Here.
fords and other cattle. focks of those
beautiful lambs that lave made men
rich. and perhaps incidentally a few
from some Of our cities AMI
towns. These slides and moving pic.
lures will be shown to the people uf
such states as Iowa, Illinois. Nebraska.
Kansas and the Dakotas.
The Republican Is not fully advised
in the matter, but from what 1t has
been able to see and hear. Mr.. Nowlia
is practicing a little on a lecture that
will prove a drawing card in the entor
tainments to be given. He talks well,
with just enough modesty to give the
impression that he would be more a.
home in the mountain Businesses with
his trusty rifle or perhaps on the HURT
cant deck of a Wyoming bronco fol
lowing the pursuit of the cowman. His
remarks are not without humor AMI
are replete with quaint sayings and in
teresting Information. Nowlin is a.
home among the big game of the
mountains. INC as the films disclose
great herds of elk, occasional bear in
their native haunts. the beautiful black.
tail deer, the gentle antelope Or the
wary mountain sheep, his eyes sparkle
and his voice takes on n one of deep
and sympathetic interest.
At the entertainments to be given
the people who are interested will be
provided with literature relating to the
possibilities and prospects of the state.
There will be pamphlets on every in
dustrial subject our people are inter.
ested in and an effort will be made to
bring to the state men and women
who will settle and make their homes.
Perhaps the most interesting por-
ton of the show will be the wild game
exhibition, and it Is not so sure but
that this great esource will bring as
much ready cash year by year as the
immigrant who will follow the pillow

in large numbers. When the sports.
men of the states to the east see these
correct representations of large bands
OF elk in their native state, they will
have an itching to get at them. Wyo.
ming has the best big game hunting
on the continent. 1t is estimated BY
Mr.. Nowlin that there are fully twenty.
five thousand elk in the northwestern
portion of our state and antelope aud
deer abound in goodly numbers. Man.
there are who also delight in hunting
n being hunted by bruin. 1t is fur
to talk about how one is going TO kill q
bear, even If one never quite reaches
that exalted experience in the hunters
career.
TIL pictures referred to have beer
shown 10 a Wyoming audience and
have been pronounced superb. Messrs
Beeler, Johnston and Fuller, the state
board of immigration, are TO be cor.
graduated upon securing the assist.
ance of these gentlemen in their eff
forts to bring the state to the atten
ton of the people Of the great agricui
tural states to the east.
