Santa Barbara, Cal.
December 3Ist, 1909.

4. L. FOntaine.
My dear Sir: Two months ago [
left Omaha, making my first stop at
Denver, and [ was first attracted in
that city by the large groups of labor
ing men in front Of the Employment
Offices looking, waiting, hoping for
work. At Salt Lake City [ found the
exact opposite. Everywhere they
seemed to be advertising for men,
working men, for the ranch, mines,
railroads and sugar beet factories.
spent few days in Cheyenne gather
ing data and photographs for the book
which I am getting out for the COM
p2nY on irrigation
In Montana Mrs. Decker Joined me.
and from the 18th TO the 9th of Nov
ember we worked from the west line
of the Yellowstone Park, following
the Snake River for seven hundred
miles. Here l found much valuable
material on irrigation, and in this
ten days there was no frost or freezing
weather, bat much rain. Twin Falls
was decidedly the muddiest city [ ever
saw, not only in the streets but on the
sidewalks. We found excellent hotels
everywhere. These new towns in the
irrigated section, some of them but
two and three years old, have excel
lent hotels, good banks and prosperous
mercantile establishments. No one
can comprehend what irrigation is
doing for the Plains country, unless
they make study Of it, and it is al
most too large to comprehend.
At Portland, Oregon, where we
spent four days, we found decidedly
bad weather plenty Of snow and cold,
This continued as we travelled south
for six hundred miles, and for a month
we saw little or no sunshine. The
past TWO weeks however. we have ex-
