All these towns I'm the Big Horn basin

traotive to the farmers this dry year, for
the farmer in the Big Horn basin does not
have to wait for rain in order to supply
his crops with moisture, but simply opens
the head-gate and let's the water run on the
land.
In my experience have never seen any
locality develop as fast as, and along as
rational lines, as the Big Horn BASIN" said
Mr. Deaver. There has been no wildcat

a speculative settlement would mean.
The Big Horn basin, Of course, Is des-
tined always to be a stock raising and
farming country. for the reason that there
are large areas OF the basin that will never
be available for anything but grazing, while
the rich irrigated lands will furnish the
feed TO fatten the stock for market that
are raised on the ranges. But one thing
that Is going to add value to all Of the
farm and range land In this locality is
the fact that the basin Is a store house Of
minerals, containing a vast deposit Of a
very high grade Of coal, sulphur, oil, nat
ural gas, mica, copper, ana considerable
Interest mas been aroused In hunting for the
precious metals. The day is not very far
distant when the Big Horn river. the Grey
bull river ana the ShOsnoni river will be
lined with factories Of all kinds but befoI e
this day arrives there mus, be many tnou-
sand more people move into the big Horn
basin, because factories cannot be run un-
less there are people to be employed to
work In them. This Industrial proposition
is going to continue the market for tie
small farmer. There are being shipped
Thousands OF dollars worth OF butter, con
densed milk and eggs into the B.g horn
basin that ought to be produced in ina,

day for the small farmer to set in on TIE

from many parts of New Jersey.

POLICE PENSION BILL
GETS CONFERENCE 0. X
Measures Affecting Newark Dis
cussed at Meeting Here.

The municipal legislature conference
Yesterday approved a bill which au-
thorizes the amended police pension ana
stationary firemen's licensing bills
The amended pension bill provides
that the city raise 1 per cent. OF the
total police salaries for the pension
fund by taxation. The original Dill
demanded per cent. s#e3. -,
The license bill was changed so that
all engineers employed in this city at
the present time and for a year past
will be entitled to third-class license.
Those who want a second-class or hrst-
class license will have to pass an ex-
animation.
Senator Wakelees bill, which places
the debt limit of cities at Z per cent.
of their ratables, was disapproved.
There is no debt limit for this city,
but 10 per cent. has always been con-
sidered a safe figure.
The fact that Assembly bill 299, II
passed, would shut Newark out from
the usual public celebration of Decora-
ton Day, was the cause of, the dlsap-
proval of that bill. - 2
City Clerk Connolly. department COM
