and the reduction for oregon wheat
must soon follow, possibly by Novem-

Gives Three Reasons.

There are three reasons in the past
why settlement has not been more rapid
in this state he replied. First. the lack
of transportation facilities and the I'M
fortunate line taken by the Union Pacfhc
railroad in its construction across the
state.
Instead of following the shortest and
most feasible route up the Platte ana
Sweetwater. by way of South Pass, ana
along the old established California tran.
the engineers adopted the present route
through the southern part of the state
and across the Red Desert, following no
water course and traversing the most
desolate section. Consequently, for all
the years of our history, territorial anu

Hope to Uncover Conspiracy,

This statement by counsel for Persch
agrees with the opinion of Mr.. Mott of
the district attorneys office, who has
said plainly that he expects to uncover
a widespread conspiracy to sell hypothe-
Gated stocks here and In other cities.
Mr.. Mott. however, seems to think the
scneme was only a way to make easy
money, whereas friends of Heinze still
persist that there has been a systematic
attempt. organized by master mind :
to ruin him.
Persch's case is already before the
grand jury, that body having begun an
investigation of the entire copper stock
transaction. Besides Joyce. Sherwood
and Sterling Birmingham. the latter of
whom represented the Windsor Trust
Company in the deal, the men who testi-
fled before the jury were Mr., Cram, MEM
Der Of the brokerage firm. of Cram &
Milliken: l.. W. Baldwin, president of
the Empire Trust Company and E. ].
Blair, an associate of Mr.. Joyce.
The presentation of the facts in the
stock Juggling case was in charge of
Mr.. Mott. who remained in the jury room
long time before any witnesses were
called. A stenographer and an office boy
employed by W. l.. Clark were also
questioned.
Blair. according to Joyce, went with
him to the Windsor Trust Company.
after he had learned that the copper
securities were on the market. and heard
an officer OF the trust company assert
that the stock was in the hands of the
company, and that the company was
responsible for it.

Wyoming. known the equality state,
was the first TO grant women free and
