Riverton. Wyo., Apr. 20 Gov
ernor b. b. Brooks is reported to
have sent to Jay Morton of Chi
cago, president of the Wyoming
Central Irrigation company and
brother of Paul Morton, a letter
stating that unless the company,
during the present spring, under
takes in earnest the construction
of its irrigation system on the
coded portion of the of the Sho-
shone reservation, State Engineer
@. L. Johnston will bring pro-
ceedings for the cancellation of the
company's right to all the water
available for irrigation of the ced-
ed lands.
The Wyoming Central Irriga-
ton company holds water rights
covering 100000 acres and for two
and one half years has been daily
ing, not retaining the coded land
and preventing others from re-
claiming it.
Recently a force of men was
put to work on a minor ditch of
the proposed big system, but it is
understood that the Governors
ultimatum relates to the big ditch
and that work on it must be start
ed and continued if the company
are to continue to hold it's exclusi-
We right to the water available for
reclamation of the lands.
The above is what will happen
to a lot of cheap ditch schemes if
they don't get busy. No use in a
small company forming for a mat
ter of speculation and Wyoming
is beginning to realize it.

Dance at Illusions

MI. and Mrs. A. II. Huston
gave a social dance at their home
on Cow creek Friday night. This
will probably be the wind up of
the good times on that creek this
year. Music WAS furnished by
Snyder and Green who went uI
from here. A few went from here
but the majority of the crowd
came from the neighboring ranch
Is on the creek. The dance broke
up at day light. A fine supper
was served at midnight by Mrs.
Huston that was much enjoyed
by all. There were about 80 peo-
pie present and it would be hard
to gather a more congenial crowd
under one roof. Every one seem
ed to enjoy themselves to the linn
it and many were sorry when il
was over.

Register Every Two Years.

The last session of the Wyom-
ing Legislature passed a bill
which became a law by the Gov
ernors signature, which requires
registration only every two years.
Heretofore the registration board
for each precinct sat before each
municipal election and before
each general election and by this
means a city or town held a reg
istration before its town election
in the spring of the year
before the general election in the
fall, at which time the registration
board sat again, making two regis
t~rations in n year every other
year, and one each year in be-
tween for the municipal elections.
The new law only calls for regis
tration before each general cleo
ton or county and state election
as the cast may be.
Rawlins allowed the board of
registration to sit before their city
election through the ignorance of
some of the newly elected county
officials, who havn't found out yet
that there any laws on the Statute
Books of Wyoming, let alone any
thing new the last session. Raw
Inns pays the bill, but that is the
way some people get experience.
The board of registration posted
their notices here for the coming
election but were informed that
the law had been repealed by the
last Legislature so they have call
ed it off. They called up the
County Clerk and he said they
would have to sit. That is anoth-
er brilliant act added to the rest
of some of the new county ofici-
ais advice.

Bought Out Livery Business.

l.. G. Nelson has purchased the
Livery Stable interests of Sam
Greene in Rawlins and will move
to that place this week. Nelson
has a good many driving horses
and will undoubtedly do a good
business. Mr.. Nelson has a good
ranch out from here which he will
put in charge of a foreman. If
any one can make it go it will be
Louie, as he is a good hustler and
manager.

Bridge Construction

w. r. Rim, bridge contractor
for the S. & E. Ry is here with
his steel men putting in the two
steele bridges r the Encamp-
ment river in the canyon. They
are rushing this work as fast as
possible in order to get it COM
pleted before the water gets high
One span is'l20 feet and the other
80. These bridges are only about
500 feet apart. The work aught
to be completed by the 10th Of
May if the weather will permit

To Move Forest Office.

Supervisor P. s. Lovejoy, of
the Cheyenne national Forest, has
been notified that the Office of this
Forest be moved to Laramie be-
fore the 18th of May. The move
has been brought about on &C
count of the L. r. P. q p. run
ming from Laramie to Centennial,
which is on the edge of the Forest
on the east side, would enable the
Forest officials and rangers to
reach the Reserve in a much
shorter time than from here.
Everything possible was done to
retain the Office here, but to no
effect. 1t stands to reason that
this is the natural center for the
Cheyenne National headquarters
as nearly any part of the range
can be reached quicker from here
even by horses than from Laramie
by train. Even Elk Mt. is nearer
to here than it is to Centennial
after they get there by train.
Saratoga is very sorry to think
that the Department would see fit
to make this move against the adj
vice of the officials on the ground
and who understand better than
they the existing conditions.

Fixing Grade.

The S. & E. work train was
down a couple of days this week
from Encampment. They reflled
the grade where the soda lakes
north of town had washed the fill
out on one side until it was be-
coming dangerous. The work is
completed now and the fill is bet
ter than ever as they used gravel
to build it up with.

Wheat, oats, and barley are
raised in large amounts, and
as a rule are consumed within a
short distance from the place
where they are raised. The wheat
is fine and plump and makes the
best of -four. The oats are of a
superior quality and run from
forty or forty five bushels to the
acre. The yield of each of these
grains is abundant. The surround
ing ranges are rich and the yield
of hay is excellent, so there is
plenty of feed for live stock. The
native hay is in much favor and is
grown extensively, but timothy
and red top also grow luxiuriantly.
A large acreage is devoted to al
falfa and the yield is from three
to four tons a year to the acre.
Alfalfa is greatly valued by
the stockmen when bringing cat
tie into condition for the market.
The valley has advantages which
make it the center for the feeding
of cattle and sheep for the spring
markets and the stockmen as a re-
suit have monoplized most Of the
land. With the spread of
irrigation the raising of vege-
tables and small fruits has increas-
ed. Much attention is being Civ
en- to sugar beets in some quar-
tiers. The valley is abundanlly
supplied with water, but the rain
fall is such that irrigation must be
resorted to if crops are to be
grown successfully. The large
amount of timber means cheap
supplies for building al well as
protection to the water supply
The trout taken from the North
Platte often weigh as much as ten
or twelve pounds and game of all
kinds is to be found in the monut-
aims

BIG DITCH
FINANCED
CHICAGO Men Behind the Scheme
With Money for Construction
W. B. Martin, Pres.

The following article appeared
in the Chicago Record Herald.
April 4th, and WE print it here in
part:
The Saratoga valley irrigation
project in Wyoming has just been
financed in Chicago and construc-
ton will be begun within a short
time. This is the first of a series
of new projects that are to be
brought to notice within a short
time by Chicogans interested in
irrigation. The number of these
projects and the amount involved
will be SO great, it Is claimed, that
all previous records will be sur
passed.
All the money required to build
the new projects is to be furnish-
ed by Chicagoans and the promot-
ers are c%entering their operations
in this city. Their reasons for
this are that there is no other city
where both settlers and capitalists
can be reached so easily. Colon
izatiop headquarters have been
established here for many years
by railroads and large land COM
panies on account of favorable
rail facilities, but heretofore the
financial operations, as a rule,
we're conducted from some other
point. During the past year or
two there has been a notable
change in this regard, and now
the number of irrigation projects
financed and managed from Chi
cago is greater than ever before.
The Saratoga valley is in south
ern Wyoming on a branch of the
Union Pacific Railroad. Its gen.
eral direction is north and south,
the town of Encampment being at
one end and Walcott at the other.
The surroundings of the valley
are unusually picturesque, for it
is at the head of the North Platte
river and lies in a pocket, or horse
shoe, of the mountains that form
the continental divide. On the
east side is the Medicine Bow
range and on the west the Sierra
Madre range. The valley ends in
a mountain gorge at each end, but
between these it spreads out and
affords excellent opportunities for
agriculture.
Aside from the picturesque
features the surroundings are adj
vantdgeous, as there is protection
from the wind aud storms. Sara
toga was in its present location
before the advent of the railroad,
as it is one of the oldest towns in
Wyoming. The valley itself has
been settled a number of years
and contains a considerable num-
Der of fine irrigated ranches. In
connection with the with the pre-
sent irrigation project it is the in
tention to purchase the water
rights of the various ranches, to
consolidate them and then sell the
water back to the ranchmen at re-
duced cost. The fact that some
remarkable hot springs are locat-
ed at Saratoga has attracted there
population of about l,2OO. The
springs possess medicinal qualities
In addition there are vapor baths
and these advantages bring many
health seekers to Sarotoga dur
ing the summer months. The
temperature of the water Is loi
degrees Fahrenheit. The springs
are said by chemists to have quail
tiles closely resembling the fam
GUS European springs at Carlsbad
Marienbad, Aix-la-C hapelle, Em'
and other places. On the Nortt
Platte river, which runs through
the city are three wooded island
which add to the other attractive
features. The river swarms witt
trout and there is the advantage

driving distance.

Surveys and other preliminaries
for the new project are about COM
plete. AS there are no difficulties
to be overcome it is planned to
finish the construction work this
season so that the water can be-
delivered to settlers next spring.
Within a few weeks the site of
the proposed ditch and dam will
present scenes of activity and the
construction will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. 1t is the in
tention to irrrigate 5000 acres of
decided land and enough under
the Carey act to make a total of
about 10000 acres. Ultimately
there will be 10000 acres of Carey
act land under irrigation in this
valley. The Carey act land with
water can be acquired for 1926 an
acre with the customary addition
of 90 cents an acre to the state.
The titled land will be sold at $40
an acre.

THE ADVANCE OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Methods Of the American
and English Sufragettes
Contrasted Prominent
Women Who Are Inter-
ested In 1.-THE Cause"

the challenge, II think I am just as
good as man." when the speaker in
her heart Of hearts probably thinks
she is much better than a man-and
probably is. If this were question
of goodness it is man that would be
disfranchised. 1t is really surprising
that women should actually want ia
vote, however, when a large section OF
the men do not want to and will not
unless they are paid for it.
Where Suffrage Has Been Granted.
Women can now vote in New Zea.
land, Australia, Finland and Norway,
They have suffrage rights in Great
Britain in all except parliamentary
elections. They can cast ballot in
school elections in most Of the states
Of this country and have full suffrage
in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and
Utah. In the state Of Washington q
constitutional amendment is now pend.
ing before the people which, If adopt
ed, will add fifth suffrage state.
Wherever the experiment has been
made the result has been neither a
retrogression to barbarism nor a flying
leap into the millennium. On the con
trary, little or no change has been oh,
served in political conditions. The
women have voted, in very few cases
have been elected to Office, and that is
all. The great machine Of popular gov
eminent has ground on very much as
it did before. Those who had been
wildly shouting either for or against
the proposition saw that there was lit
