CHARLES BACON TELLS OF THE
RANGE IN FAR-OFF WYOMING
WHERE HE RESIDES.
LIKES !: The COUNTRY ''
Says Climate and General Conditions
Are, Good-Plenty Of Water and
Much Sunshine-Located
Near Chug Water.

An Iowan and former resident o
Wapello county. Charles Bacon, wht
for some time past has been living or
a homestead in Wyoming close t.
Chug- Water, writes the Courier telling
of the merits Of his new home in the
ranges where cattle and sheep abound
Mr.. Bacon sings high the prai7es Of
Wyoming from nearly every viewpoint
that the farmer would take Of a new
country. Climate and water are both
said by him to be perfect and the
growing conditions good. His letter
complete follows: II
Chug- Water, Wyo,, Oct. "a, 1910
Courier:
Having lived in the vicinity Of OF
tumwa for several years and having
numerous friends in Wapello county
who would perhaps be glad to hear
from me since am located in Wyom :
ing, I will conf1ne myself to a short
letter that they may know something
of this wonderful land:
Have Plenty Of Sunshine.
I am located on a homestead thir-
teen miles east of Chug Water and
like it fine We have delightful eli
mate. Also excellent water which is
reached at depth of 100 feet. Out OF
the 365 days In the year, we have $3.50
days Of sunshine. Our storms, while
severe. last only a few hours. The
early return of the sun soon dries the
surface and thus we are bored but
little with mud and dampness. In the
summer we enjoy cool breezes from
the mountains which lessons the heat
Of the day and makes the nights suit
able for sleeping.
Land Of Promise.
''In connection with climate one
thinks Of water. This part Of Wyom-
ing is blessed with an abundance Of
pure spring and vein water A year age
there We're only fifteen shacks here
now there are 375 families with homes
and improvements. Everv one here
seems to be satisfied with the pros
poets. Nearly all are breaking the
prairie sod and planning for an early
planting in the spring. Those who put
In crops early last spring had very
good results. despite a shortage OF
rain this past summer. To show the
faith settlers here have of the chances
of this country. there are three steam
and gasoline engines and plows within
a radius of eight miles.
Have Church and School.
Sometimes lack Of schools and
churches are drawback to new
country We are well provided with
both here. There are but few children
that are not within three miles Of a
school house here. There is one central
church, a fine building and salaried
minister. In conjunction with this
Sunday school is held in various
places.
Leave Cattle Business.
There are many cattle and sheep
ranches here. One firm has been run
ming $4,000 head Of cattle and sheep
on this range, and are now shipping
all of them and going into the sheep
business. The reason for this is be-
cause the homestead settlers are tax
ing up the range. This firm shipped A.
900 head from Chug- Water Wednes-
day and Thursday of last week. The
firm has now 100000 head of sheep and
are planning to increase, it to more
than 100000. "a large number of ante

After having been admitted to the
bar, Mr.. Duke located in OttumWa and
began the practice of law. There are
few young lawyers in Iowa that have
met with greater success or had a
wider range Of experience in the trial
of cases than Mr.. Duke. He has rapidly
taken rank as one Of the ablest lawyers
of the Wapello county bar. He has been
identified, either as counsel in chief or
associate counsel, with almost every
criminal case of Importance tried in
this county during the past four years.
His experience in the trial of civil
cases is perhaps larger than in Grim
inal cases, and he has been engaged
in some of the hardest fought civil
cases tried in Wapello county during
this time. Ne has the record Of never
having had jury return verdict
against his client in a civil case.
In electing Lloyd L. Duke prosecut-
ing attorney Of Wapelo county the
voters can make no mistake and he

EXODUS To EUROPE OF BIG
COPPER MEN IS A PUZZLE

NEW YORK CITY. June 3o.-Many
are wondering what is the signifi-
canoe of the exodus of big copper
men to Europe at this time. Some
profess to believe that some sort OF
an agreement between the warning
elements in copperdom is in process
of cOnsummation. while others do
not believe there is any inclination
on the part of the different factors
in the situation to get together.
A trip to Europe does not neces-
sarily mean business. but with the
markets in their present demoralized
condition. and with the continual cry
for relief from industrial and copper
interests. the fact that the big fellows
are gathering in Europe looks inter-
esting. to say the least. John D. Ry-
an. president Of the Amalgamated
Copper company, left a few days ago
for the other side. and now eastern
reports have it that Charles NJ. Mac
Neill is preparing to sail. Mr. Mac
Nein being president of the Utah
Copper company. Among the other
prominent folks abroad are W. d.
Thornton and Urban Broughton. both
identified with the Amalgamated in
terests and the International Smelt-
ing and Refining company.

CALL 1T HEALTHY.


In the monthly copper circular is
sued by the National Conduit & Ca
bic company. it is stated that for the
last six months manufacturing bust
ness has been on a fairly favorable
and healthy basis The domestic con
sumption OF copper has been large.
and conditions at the leading plants
of the country show that great prog
ress has taken place in the industrial
situation compared with 1908 and the
early part Of last year.
While there has been a oonspicu-
Gus recovery in trade, it is also a
fact that the remarkable increase in
surplus stock of copper tends TO a
decided feeling Of uncertainty in
manufacturing circles. The tremen-
dous production of copper has caused
hesitation among the consumers. The
market has been inactive and recent
developments have downward
trend.
Manufacturers viii probably be
moved to more than ordinary caution
when they see the large increase in
reserve stocks. Trading under such
conditions is devoid Of interest which
would be shown were the statistical
position of copper more healthy The
inducement of consumers to stock up
is lacking until the accumulated sup
plies commence to show a substantial
decrease. Manipulation is not to be
depended upon 20 develop confidence
as the underlying cause of the stu
alton is too serious 10 be remedied
by anything short of a reduction in
the over supply. Opinion points 70
a climb rather than a fall in pro
duction. The market recently shows
a weaker tendency and prices are
yielding 70 the pressure to make
sales at concessions.
European consumers buy sparing-
ly and are cautious in making fresh
purchases"

GOOD RPE, wINeol

WIngo Anderson certainly FAILED 10
make good in fast company. His ex-
perience in fast company seems to
have ended ingloriously and his de-
parture from Ohio for Texas to have
caused no regret If ever a pitcher
was roasted Wingo is that man and
seldom has a player been handed a
hotter one" than Anderson in the
Cincinnati Post, which published the
following obituary" on his demise
in the upper tendon of the baseball
world in its issue of June "a.
Where is ''wingo" Anderson? No
body seems 10 know and what's
more. nobody seems to care very
much Anderson disappeared about
two weeks ago as completely as if
the earth had swallowed him at a
single gulp. A letter written to
friend in Texas stating he would not
play ball in Dayton for less than $500
per month was the last heard from
the little southpaw pitcher Cincin-
natl turned him over to Dayton
where he was offered the salary lin
IL. 5000 a month. but "Wingo" said
he could not think OF playing ball
for such an insignificant sum.
When President Herman was
asked il he knew anything of the
Whereabouts Of Anderson. he answer
ed in the negative and did not seem
eager to institute a search for him.
Garry is through with Anderson and
is not going to worry about him.
'Wingo" is probably pitching ball
on a real sand lot in some Texas
town, where he can drag down a few
plunks per week and gloat over nu-
merous strike-outs gained in semi
contests. Anderson
struck out PIG men in 70 games
while pitching in and around FL
Paso last year, and expected to make
a record something like that in the
National league.
