your climates, for it will be summer six months in the year.
"The people of your valley will have one great advsntage-a home
market, for the development of your minerals in the mountain ranges,
on either side of your valley, has only just commenced, and in a few
years it will have reached large proportions. Mining men have to be
fed, and the market created by beet sugar factories, manufacturing in
dustries and the great increase in the populations of your towns-for
they are going to grow tremenduously-will be supplemented by the
smelters and mining towns, that will line the foothills, and over run
the mountain ranges N either side. AS [ said a moment ago, you
won't know this country in 10 years from now.
I'm my endeavor to bring this valley to the front am actuated by
the same desire that every healthy, activity m is-the desire to
make money. l am backed by men with plenty of capital, and they
have said: Go in, and buy all the land you can, and we will foot the
bill. We have faith in your judgement, as we'll as faith in that great
Rocky Mountain country, where you live, and We re ready to back
our faith with our money Capital is abundant, and it is looking for
profitable fields. 1t thinks the Saratoga valley is going to be veil,
not going to be, but is one of the most promising fields for agricult-
ure, fruit culture and stock raising in the west. That explains why
1 am here. 1 am after some of the great wealth and prosperity that |
can see coming, and in doing this for myself, L am going to make
some money for the rest of you, who have settled here and developed

almost level condition., sloping to the north and is without hills or
uneven places and AN all be irrigated and cultivated. In addition
to the three sections of land that lie in body on the south bank of
Jack creek, the company owns 100 acreso of fine pine timber in the
Sierra Matire mountains lying o.the south west.
This Large body Of land is in every way well adapted to farming and
the company WI n OF the first water rights out of the North Fork
OF spring creek which was taken ont in 1884, during territorial days
These odt trrltorIal waterr rights are considered very valuable prop-
erty and IN time they, together with all other water rights, will be-
come a IS valuable as the land. The land is all under fence and covered
with lateral bitches No considerable attempt made to farm the
tract until within the past year The Saratoga Land e. Investment
20, came ITO possession of the tract about two years ago. Last spring
it had about 800 acreso of new ground broken aud sewed 800 acres to
oats, which yielded n fair crop for the first year. They will have
about o4o acres broken up between now and next fall, and will plant
1t to winter wheat. Besides this $40 acres they will plant 800 acres
to oats next spring.
Besides grain, there are 100 acres in alfalfa, which yields two crops
of fine hay, besides very excellent fall pasture. Native hay has been

held by my company on Jack creek was made after a thorough in
vestigation of your natural resources and the possibilities of the soil
of the valley, as well as the wonderful climate. You people have given
your energies more to the raising of stock than you have TO the agri-
cultural resources of the valley. l am convinced that this will be a
rich farming country, as we'll as for stock raising. There 8 a great
land hunger allover the United States. The surplus population is
coming West every year in greater numbers, seeking for homes. My
purchase on Jack creek is only the beginning of the requirement of
lands in this valley, and it, was made with the veiw of making demon
STATIONS in agriculture, to show prospective settlers what the fertile
soil here would produce. In time | intend to cut up my holdings there
and sell them to small farmers, men who do not know anything about
stock raising, but who do know how to farm. This will be done with
all other lands that l may may acquire, and it will not be very long
until the people of this country will begin to realize that, while this
valley may be a great stock raising country, and while your hills may
be full of the precious minerals, you have a still greater and far more
valuable asset in your soil. The farmer is the bone and sinew of the
world, and when it becomes known what an he raised here, such as
oats, wheat, barley, alfalfa, potatoes, and all the small fruits and veg
etables, men will literally be falling over each other to get possession
OF your lands. In ten years time you will not know this country.
When the large areas of land on both sides of your magnificent North
Platte river are thckly settled with homes, cultivated fields, groves of
trees and orchards, you will not hear any more complaint about high

From the 800 acres of new ground cultivated to oats, 2500 bushels
were realized, Il large portion Of which al sold right in the Saratoga
market for 81 Is per 100 pounds. 1t is rare that the first crop from
new ground is So large, n the return % sure and profitable Is in this
case. The crop that will be grown o IL the 800 acres next year will
be far better than the year now closing, and will demonstrate, not only
to the new corners, but to many old timers, what the soil in the
Saratoga valley can do in the way of agricultural crops.

He has done a great deal toward the development of Fit Collins and
the country surrounding that beautiful city. and is still "doing' things
there. One of the monuments of his enterprise and business fore
|sight is the Northern Hotel, which cost 100000 and is one of the
|best paying investments in that rapidly growing city. He served two
terms as Mayor of Eft. Collins and proved to be a man, who could not
|unly iniatiate reforms, but possessed the nerve to carry them out, adj
|vancing his city a long ways on the road to permanent prosperity. No
greater good could possibly come to the Saratoga valley at this time
for at any time in the near future, than for Mr.. Clammer to become a
resident of Saratoga, and uplimber his fertile brain and tremen 1uous
|euergy in the development of our many natural resources.
MIR. CIammpr, when spoken to concerning his Investments and in
Itrntions in this part of Wyoming, said: The purchase of the lands

yielded about Is bushels to the
acre. Potatoes were raised in
that country that went six aud
seven tons to the acre. Guy e.
Pool is also raising winter wheat
aud other grains that average up
with those raised by Mr.. Platt.
They all believe that it will not be
very long until winter wheat will
be generally raised in that section.
They speak in a matter-of-fact
way of the abundant yield of cur

from. which he gathered between
two and three bushels of ripe
fruit, which matured about the
LIST of August. He also has two
cherry trees on which the fruit
.rippened about the LIST of July
and the fruit WAS fine. The alti-
tude at Beaver creek is close to
400 feet. Mr.. Plat has his trees
protected by a wind break. He
also raised winter wheat that
weighed "a pounds to the bushel
and had about 8 acres of oats that
, 1909-10-28

aud strawberries in that section.
1t is certainly an ideal farming
country, and the fact that fruit
can be raised 80 easily there should
encourage residents all over the
valley to plant fruit trees, protect
ing them from the winds aud cold
north storms, fer il will not be
many years until fruit will be
raised here in abundance.
