IDAHO'S GREAT ADVANCE.

No division of this whole mountain
fast the past year as Idaho. Through
her many reclamation projects under
government control. through the enter
prise of private companies. and through
operations under the Carey land act,
vast areas have been put and are be-
ing put under iillage. and fortunes
were made by those who got in carly
and were lucky in selecting lands that
were later converted into town sites.
All through the Snake Valley this has
been the great sensational advance of
the year. The Oregon Short Line has
built tracks for the accommodation Of
the business that is thus afforded, 1t
is now building across from southwest
ern Idaho TO a connection with the
Southern Pacific main line in Nevada.
Railroad progress has thus kept up
with the general progress OF the State
in increase OF population, prosperity,
and wealth.
The mines. also, have yielded we'll,
and the State is vastly richer at the
close of the year than when the year
began.
As a grazing State Idaho cxcc1s, and

Idaho has received it's full share OF

attach TO a rapidly growing community,
Idaho has been in the vanguard of

this whole great region.
Tho Tribune this morning presents
from It's special travelling correspondent
in Idaho fine account Of the progress
during the past year. 1t is a marvellous
showing, one that proves the wide
reaching and energetic advance Of
Idaho. And the present year will un.
doubtedly keep the ball rolling as swift

the splendid showing made, and it hopes

THE UNITED STATES.

This Republic of the United States
recovered prosperity, in way that was
amazing. AT the beginning of 1909
there had been scarcely a complete
recovery from the tremendous currency
panic of the fall of 1907. But the re
covery had been of wonderful quickness
so far as it had eots and the year
Just past has completed that recovery,
and the country is on its former basis
of productiveness, prosperity, and ad-
vancement, 1t is true that corporations
have received a check, and some of them
certainly needed check. But on the
whole the country has progressed in
way to warm the heart of It's citi.
Zens.
The most noteworthy event Of the
year has been the passage of a new
tariff bill, The party i'll power, start
ing with the announced determination
10 revise the rates downward, proceed
ed to revise them upward. and TO en-
trench the trusts and combinations in
firmer positions of power and dominance
than ever before And the bill was
not even n consistent measure of pro
lection. 1t singled out some interests
for preference and others for neglect
The wool manufacturers in general were
given complete control of the market,
dominant position with respect to the
home production Of wool as we'll as of
wool imports. AT the same time, the
carded wool industry was denied pro-
lection. and put upon the downward
slide.
The relations of the country with re
spect to the world at large, with the
single exception of the little ruction in
Mic icaragua and the occasional and sensa-
tional trumpetings of trouble with ia
pan, have been cordial throughout. AS

THE RAILROAD PROGRESS.

Salt Lake City S railway advance dur
ing the year Just past has been con
spicuous. a new and through line TO
the coast at San Francisco has been
completed, This makes the fourth
through line from this city to the Pa
ciic coast. There are now two TO San
Francisco. one TO Portland, and one to
Los Angeles. Official assurances come
that the Santa Fe is also building a
line to this city which will doubtless
be continued on to the coast. This line
at present is promised from Goldfeld
TO Ely and from Ely to Salt Lake. We
Judge that it will be continued west

THE YEAR WITH WYOMING.

The State of Wyoming, in common
with the other western commonwealth,
has had an exceedingly good year.
The total valuation of its productions
is given at $6S,O0O.00O, gain of So
10000 over 1908. The productive min
ing industry OF Wyoming is very large
" In its immense coal deposits, which
are of exceeding value, commercially
and industrially, to all this mountain
region. The present population of
Wyoming is reckoned at 900, an
estimated gain of 10000 during the
year
Wyoming is the great range State, its
grazing areas affording ample forage
for immense herds Of cattle, sheep. and
horses. 1t is splendid game State
also, protecting vast herds of deer, an
telope and elk. and enforcing with rigid
severity its protective game laws. Prob
ably the greatest herds Of elk remain
ing in the world today are in the Jack
son Hole country, Wyoming.
In mineral and oil the State is also
rich, The oil deposits are by no means
we'll developed, but large areas of the
State have sufficient oil deposits to make
prospecting for oil alluring and doubt
less ultimately profitable. The metal
mining is also OF value. A good deal
of activity is reported in the Encamp-
ment region. including the big smelter
proposition there. Gold mining was
chiefly confined to the South Pass and
neigbboring regions. There was good
iron production, but The chief mining
product was coal, its value being placed
at S2l 100000 out of the total of $22,-
100000 Of mineral values given.
There has been much railroad activity
in Wyoming during the year. The State
is getting we'll supplied with railroads,
One great incentive to railroad building
is traffic in coal and in the immense
livestock production which requires
transportation TO the Eastern markets
and is a profitable business for the
railroads.
A feature of Wyoming which is deep
ly interesting from the scientific stand
point is the immense fossiliferous de.
posits TO be found in various parts Of
the State, but chiefly in the northeast,
adjoining the so.called Bad Lands in
Dakota. Here immense fossil remains
of animals which roamed the then tcpid
lakes of that region tens Of thousands
of years ago, have been found by scien.
lists, and the museums of the world
have been enriched from this source
1t has been year of tremendous and
profitable industry in Wyoming, The
State is on the best possible basis
financially and industrially. 1t faces
the new year with high hopes and cour.
age, and The Tribune hopes for this,
our northeastern Deighbor, every pos.
sible good that its people may desire.
