are built rather close together and
the line where the city and the
bare plains meet is very marked,
there being no suburbs as is the
case OF most cities especially those
of the east.
We left our driver and real
estate agent at Carr, or rather
they left US. We visited the State
capitol and climbed to its dome
where we had quite nice view OF
the city and surrounding plains.
We also visited the state build
ing of mineral and agri-
cultural exhibits which is
state institution and which is pre-
sided over by state officers. Here
we spent several hours very pleas
antly and here also we got quite
lot of information as to the de-
velopment and possibilities of the
state of Wyoming, which as to its
agricultural development as it is
in its infancy. l believe both the
spectators, investors and the
home seekers can here find better
prospects for profitable invest
ments than can be found in Colo
RADIO or any other arid region
that has been longer developing.
For the reason, than in the older
section, as is the case in Colorado,
all the best water rights, especial
| ly those that can be the most
cheaply obtained has already been
taken, and those that can be had
n ow are either very expensive or
else they are not as reliable in
their supply of water. While in
Wyoming, there is large areas
un developed and there are many
fine water propositions yet avail
able. There is several new colo
nies forming where / think there
are splendid opportunities. That OF
Wheatland about 95 miles north of
Cheyenne and the Big Horn base "a
tract of several hundred thousand
acres of fine land, situated in the
extreme northwest part OF the
state and where the U. S. Govern
fment 1e- LOW building a large
J reservoir and canal at cost OF
S400, 900. which when completed
will afford sufficient water to re-
claim some 100000 or more acres
of land, and much of this land |
am told can be had from the state
; or government under the Cary act
at fifty cents per acre, but the
purchaser would have to pay for
/ the water in addition thereto.
l think will take trip up in
, this country before l return home.
We are having quite nice visit
, with the exception that Mrs. Mudd

for several days but is up again

away and hope to be on all fours
t when l get back to old Missouri.
| We are planning to leave here
, for Chicago some where about
the 10th of July or possibly earlier
{ and will be home about the first OF
e August. Want to be there to vote

I was glad to hear you were all

has been so well and good, give
him our warmest love and tel

when we get home. We will at
