possibly have been selected for tho
trip. So far on their tour the direct
ors have stuck pretty faithfully to the
yellow cars. and all of the scenery
Of which they have gotten rlimnse
has been seen from the observation
platform. This trip up into the primi-
tive Swan Lake country will for tina,
reason be n great treat to them. The
ride by saddle through the widest
mountain country in the state will be
something which but few of them have
ever experienced. and the outing should
be n pleasant one.
While the trip Is partially for pleas
ure. the inspection of the survey IL
an important one. Engineers OF the
company will be with the party and
every inch of the proposed line will
be gone over carefully 1t Is gener-
ally admitted now that the Puget
Sound will eventually build to tho
north. The rich northern Montana ana,

mercial Importance which the success
sors to Hartman will not be apt to
overlook in their battle with Hill for
supremacy. The inspection will how
ever. mean immediate or delayed ac-
tion according to the condition of the

State Horticultural Meeting

Attention is called again to the
second annual meeting of the State
horticultural Society, the week of the
State Fair, at Douglas, September 30,
at 1870 p. IN. All members, as well
as all other visitors to the Fair, who
are interested in fruit growing, or in
the fruit possibilities in this state, are
urged to call at Horticultural Hall
during the day, September thirtieth.
The complete program for the sessions
of the society will be found posted in
a conspicuous place in this hall. 1t
seems certain, too, that the exhibits
of fruits will be worthy of the atten-
ton of all who take a pride in the
fact that fruit growing is proving
m~arvelously successful in many local
tiles. Plan to attend all of the meet
ings of the Society. If you are a
member work hard to secure other
members. If you are not a member,
join now for your own good and for
the encouragement Of those who are
striving hard to show that Wyoming
can readily and prohtably produce
the hardy fruits.
