This also is a sugar beet area and the

an immense beet sugar plant will be estab-

towns, Germana of 200 and Otto, town of
$50 people, both inland towns; at the mouth
of the Greybull river, which flows through
the heart OF the Basin, are the towns Of
Greybull and Basin. The former is sur
rounded by flowing wells of gas that furn-
ish heat, light and power to towns along

country.
Coming on south along the main line, are
the towns of Worland, in the midst of 5O,-
900 acres of land; Kirby in the heart of the
soft coal region, and finally Thermopols,
the most interesting and beautiful city in
the basin. 1t is a place of 200 people, of
modern features, including a $780, 900 hotel,
and the locality of the great hot springs,

with a natural heat of 1870 degrees; these
were the famous springs of the Shoshone
Indian reservation, and were coded by
Chief Washaki to the government When
the Burlington line is finished through
central Wyoming, Thermopolis will be made
one of the few great santariums actually
located upon q main trunk line; many Of
these wonderful spots having been found in
inaccessible places impossible to reach
with any main line of road.
Omaha mercantile and manufacturing
interests should keep a close eye upon the
gradual settling up of this new line through
the west, study of the agricultural map
of Wyoming shows that most of its ir-
rgable areas viii be traversed by BurllnR-
ton lines This means intense farming,
rural population and thriving cities.

Just 10 the west of Thermopolis and
south to the Owl Creek mountains, is the
Shoshone Indian reservation, part of which

tract for furnishing the water for this To-
cality where the lands can be taken IN

the Importance of close canvass of the
new field about to be brought into touch
with Denver, Omaha and Kansas City;
from the Big Horn river to the eastern
boundary Of wyoming, is a stretch Of
semi-arid land that sustains vast flocks
of sheep. 1t is one Of the permanent wool
regions Of the west.
From Frannie north, a cutoff line Is
projected to Billings, where connections
are made into Northern Pacific and Great
Northern northwest territory. From
Guernsey to Bridgeport, along the North
Platte, the Burlington now has line
niEety-eght miles in length, and while that
stretch has been known as a branch with
no direct eastern outlet it was originally
built on main line standards, as part of a
long cherished, but deliberate plan to make
it part of this central Wyoming main
trunk line. This 1OO-mie stretch of valley
east Of Guernsey is destined to become one
of the most productive zones in America.
There are, adjacent to this line, over 10000
acres OF government and private irrigated

who do the work have become so deeply
interested that they will not neglect their
gardens even for base ball game
Besides cultivating the school gardens
the pupils of the Omaha schools are devot-
ing attention to certain flowers, trees, birds
and vegetables. To each grade is assigned
subjects for study, as follows:
First Grade-The tulip, maple, bluebird,
bean.
Second Observation-Disclosures and petunia,
sweet potatoes and common spuds, cotton
wood, read-headed woodpecker.

energy in gruntlng. Grunts do not count
for anything around a proper garden.
Many a man is noted among his fellows
for his success with unique flowers, or
rose bushes, or some particular kind OF
vegetables. Before his mates have learned
that spring is here this gifted sort of per-
son is offering tribute to his friends, and
inspiring ambition or causing sorrow for
neglected opportunity. Mail carriers and
other public servants with regular, stated
hours of labor devote a good deal of at
tention to gardening, judging by their
talk. In the court house and city hall
boasts about my garden" are not infre-
quent; and in the wholesale houses and
railroad headquarters buildings, modest as
sertions Of cieverness are somewhat COM
mon. When a man has a good garden
everybody that he knows is informed OF
his hopes and accomplishments, and very
often friends receive substantial proof Of
the truth Of his assertions
There are special gardens, of course, like
Pa Rourke's three patches at Vinton park,
right, left and center where the flowers
OF the base ball field are cultivated with
assiduty and some profit Bugs" are also
indigenous to these gardens, just as they
are to the other kind. \
And then there are the school gardens
and the vacant lot gardens. The school
gardens are encouraged for their educa-
tlonal value mainly, while the vacant lot
gardens are based altogether on necessity.
In the school garden brigade Of Omaha
about $50 boys have membership. Last
year, at the exhibit in the Young Mems
Christian association. 315 individual exhib-
itors proudly put up the products Of their
labor and skill for prizes. In every public
school in Omaha, practically, from twenty
five TO thirty boys are now busly en-
gagged, during the spare hours, in making
garden" At the John r. Kellom school

supplied with vegetables and flowers and
some boys even make spending money
from their garden patches. Then, in the
late spring, the public exhibit Is put on at
the Young Mems Christian association,
when the competition is exceedingly keen
and the judges have their work cut out
for them. The prizes are such that they
can be kept in the schools whose garden
ers win, and a good many of the buildings
have on their walls trophies taken at the
spring exhibit.
This outside branch of school study is
growing steadily in popularity and inn

that tall narrow gap, or canyon, and

would retire from the state senate at the
