INTERESTING LETTER
FROM f. DECKER

Editor Reporter, Dear Sir: We are
5000 feet higher than you are and
the bright, warm sunshine, and the
snow capped mountains seemingly not
a mile away makes strange con-
trast l have finished my work in
Nebraska and the Bee has sent
me into Wyoming for few arti-
cles. From here we go to the Black
Hills and from there to Northern
Wyoming and Montana. We enjoyea
our trip through Central and West
ern Nebraska. At one point on an
Automobile ride we found 46 rural
free delivery mail boxes in one group
said to be the largest number in the
United States. At Ord, Nebraska " e
found the largest pop corn ware
house in the world, where a hundred
car loads are shelled, sacked and
shipped each year. Each car con-
tains 1000 bushels.
There is strong evidence of the
III SOuS VI IAt SOuulISS
Western Nebraska. In one of these
counties we found IL log school
houses and several of sod construc-
ton, but the people and the climate
are very agreeable.
Mrs. Decker is thoroughly enjoy
ing this trip. We are between 600
and 700 miles west of Omaha.
wish the readers of the Reporter
could be with US here this morn
ing long enough to get a view of
this country. This town of Casper
has a population Of about 5000. 1t
is located on the south bend of
the Platte, and as we look to the
south from the hotel the Casper
range of mountains that are covered
with snow look to be about as far
away as from the Court House to
the High School building.
In reality they are nine miles
away No one could help but like
the people here in Central Wyoming,

PUBLIC LIBRARY PARK

We often wonder as we walk by
Library park on our way to and
from our home to our business place,
if others recall the great and fav-
orabIe change in the outlook between
First Street North and Baker street,
as we do, of the improved condition
in the vicinity of the Public Library
building and Sheriff's House and
Jail as compared with what it was
few years ago. The change is
so favorable and so pleasing that it
must be gratifying to others as it is
to US, to see this favorable change
in condition. When we recall the old
red barn and the rock piles, and
old timbers and such like, that were
lying around in the vicinity of these
two public buildings, we now marvel
at the change. During court week,
heard by visitors, members of the
jury and witnesses, who had not Wis
tied our city for some years, noted
this remarkable change and com
mented upon it. While this improve
ment cost the city a little some
thing, the cost was nothing compared
with the now favorable outlook. The
ladies of the Federation cannot be
too heartily commended for their ex-
cellent work in this direction all
through our city. There is still
great deal more that could be done
in this same direction.

bankment, he turned the wrong lever

action, throwing it down into the
jured and the car was wrecked.

they are a pleasant, prosperous, pro-
gressive band of rustlers. In our
last 100 miles of travel We have
scarcely seen a pillow or a plowed
field. 1t is one great stock range
where sheep seem to have univer-
sal sway. This county alone has
over seven hundred thousand sheep,
beside many cattle and horses and
in almost every direction one may
find mines and oil wells. In one
place there are nine oil wells that
have a flow of 200 barrels a day
each.
1t seems that Wyoming could sup
ply the whole United States with
coal for years to come, then within
10 miles of this city is an Ashes
tos mine valued at S12,000,00G. Be-
sides this there are iron, copper and
gold mines. The State has but one
inhabitant to the square mile, SO
you will see the country is very thin
ly settled.
so miles north of Casper is a group
of oil wells that are flowing fast
er than the product can be cared
for, and when they burn the sur
plus to get rid of it the fire can be
seen from this point.
There are over 100000 sheep il
Wyoming that average about pound
of wool each, this is the shearing
season and some of this work is
done by steam power. Yet mostly
by the old way. Many men shear
from $50 to $50 sheep day. There
are from $500 to 1000 sheep in a
band and it is pleasant sight to see
the herder with his welltrained, in
telligent dog handle this number.
Some of these bands are driven from
$50 ITO 200 miles each year, as they
are brought to the railroad to be
sheared and then taken far up into
the mountains for summer range.
Everybody seems to be prosperous
here. The homes and business places
in the towns of from 1000 to 5000
people will compare favorably with
towns like Grand Rapids, Marshfield
and Stevens Point. Money is plenty
and wages tgood. While the auto
mobile is common here the saddle
horse is much more common. I
think Mrs. Decker and l saw at
least so people out horse back rid
ing last night most of them ladies.
We are at the edge of the big game
country of the United States. The
game warden of this section states
that he saw 5000 Elk in one ban
last winter, and that there are at
least $4,000 Elk west of here in Wy
oming. Deer and antelope are COM
mon, and game is abundant. But
it is especially the paridise for trout
fishing.
The COW boy can be seen every
where with his snaps, spurs ana
lariat, but minus his old time re-
volver. He seems to be universally
pleasant, intelligent and interesting.
l am to get out an article cover
ing a page for the Sunday Bee des-
criptive of the Pine Ridge Indian
reservation, another article on the
Custer battle ground, and another
on the animals of the Yellowstone
Park. Will send you one or all OF

headed by the grand old stars and
stripes and the S. of V. fife and

where the S. of V. ritualistic cere-
mony was used. The graves were
beautifully decorated by the children
and it can be said that the patriot
ic people of this place have not for
gotten the noble deeds of the old
soldiers.
1t was sad surprise to the people
of this place to hear of the terrible
drowning tragedy at Grand Rapids,
