Wyoming leads all the western states and terri
tories in the price per head OF its sheep and leads
every state in the union in total value OF its sheep,
the number and value of its lambs the amount and
value of it's wool clip and the weight of fleece
produced. Wyoming also has the distinction Of being
the father of the modern irrigation law and the
camaton act and among the foremost states in work
done under them.
1t must be clearly understood by prospective set
tiers that great proportion OF the lands in Wyoming
are valuable for farming only If they can be placed
under irrigation and It is with this in mind that the
great irrigation projects OF the state both those
red out by private capital and those being con-
structed under the direction of the federal govern
ment, are planned.
Oil and gas wells may become exhausted, veins Of
precious metal may pinch out, factories may close
down. but the community whose stability is based
upon agriculture has and enduring foundation
In this respect Sheridan county takes rank among the
foremost agricultural regions Of the west with only
part of its agricultural developed as yet
While the number of farms in Wyoming is less
than in the more popuous states the value per
of farm products is much higher. The farm values
of the surrounding states per acre are: Nebraska
S1O43; Iowa, $11.7S Missouri, $13.65; Kansas,
S925; wyoming $18.S9; Utah. s18.21
Wyoming produced more than either Utah

average OF 21O tons per acre of hay which
greater than the yield in Iowa, $40 tons; Nebraska

Irrigation is the order Of the day The farmer
has learned to pin his faith TO it, While the country
rolling there is but little land. The soil Is

years is Of course impossible to predict, but it has

Extensive Development Through Irrigation.

The development through irrigation has not been

Big and Little Goose creeks and their tributaries all
abound in mountain trout, while numerous mountain
lakes scattered over the Big Horn range, make the
Sheridan country the fshermans paradise. A state

increasing numbers of fishing parties, the speckled
beauties seem to be as plentiful ever
Az no point in the state, within as easy reach of
the railroad, is big game still to be found in such
abundance as in the Sheridan country. The big game
country begins within twenty miles OF the city and
the Big Horn range abounds in delightful sport for
the hunter. Not only big game, but small game in
abundance, is to be found in almost every part of
Sheridan county.

U. S. Grand Jury Fails to Pre-

Charges.

The Federal Grand Jury disappoint-
ed number of people who are inter-
ested in the troubles of the Hilo
High school this morning when 1t
failed to present a report as expect
ed.
The charges involving Principal
Richmond of the school have been be-
fore the Grand Jury for a period of
over two weeks and 1t was expected
that this morning the Federal inquis-
itors would present their findings.
Adjournment was taken however I'M
til tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock
and 1t is now possible that the long
expected report will not be forthcom-
ing until the latter part of the week.
The rumors that have come forth
from the Grand Jury room are of a
varying nature, one Grand Juror stat
ing that IN indictment was extreme
ly probable and another inquisitor
taking the opposite view OF the situa-
ton presented by the charges involv-
ing Principal Richmond.

Of community whip to drive the peo-

make up for past neglect?
We trust not.
But of one thing every citizen of
Honolulu may be certain. A much
broader and more vigorous and more

i've cleaning-up policy must be inau-
gurated and maintained II Honolulu
is to escape another dose of the eX-
pensive experience of the past.
If history is repeated, the year of
the Panama-Pacific xposition-when
Honolulu should be making barrels
of money from the influx of tourists
and buyers of winter homes-will find
the city in the midst of a large and
elegant quarantine and carrying on a
vociferous war against some plague
or other that is nothing more or less
than the direct result of community
neglect and community lack of fore
sight

HONOLULU'S FIRST DUTY.

ElonOlulus greatest danger Is, that
in dealing with the possibility of the
Introduction of yellow fever, it will
repeat the history of its experience
with the bubonic plague.
People who were residents of the
city previous to 1900 will recall that
for many months there was talk of the
danger and certainty of introduction
of plague from the Orient unless
something was done, and nothing but
talk of the need for placing the city
in more sanitary condition. The
danger spots were pointed out and
TALKED ABOUT.
But not until the first plague case
made its appearance in lower Nuuanu
street was anything vigorous and
forceful DONE. Then the community
spent money and destroyed property
like an aggregation OF drunken sail
ors.
Honolulu Is headed directly for a
repetition OF just sueh an experience
unless the talk OF the present period
Is supplemented by action and the jul
dlcious expenditure OF money.
The town has grown far beyond the
borders that marked the danger zone
of 1900. What were the outskirts and
not calling for immediate attention at
that time. are now well within the
city and in not few instances thick
ly populated,
The warning has come in the form
of the cholera, and thus repeats the
history of 1895.

MIR. Carman while in London effect
ed an arrangement with L, A. dePass

sugar properties in Porto Rico and
Jamaica, by which they have agreed
To take over another property of the
Philippines, not connected with the

Mr.. Carman also states that one of
the largest sugar interests in Louisi-
ana has Indicated Willingness to
unite with people here provided sat
isiactory arrangements can be effect
ed.

Turning from the discussion of the
Calamba deal this morning. Mr.. Car
man took up another matter of vital
interest to Hawaii, the question OF
labor, and in this connection adyan-
ces an idea that every sugar man
will be interested in.
He believes II possible for an ALI
ance Of Hawaiian and Philippine sug-
ar people and perhaps other business
| interests, an alliance that will re-
dound to the benefit of the people In
other ways that the profit TO be gain
ed. Among other ways he mentions
the possibilities of increasing the lab
or supply coming from the islands.
| and this he believes will be a mutual
benefit. His twelve years experience
In handling labor in the Philippines
has given knowledge of conditions
and methods that would enable him
TO be Of great assistance to the rep
resentatives of the Hawaiian Sugar
| Planters Association who are now at
work securing labor in the islands
and he believes that a properly Sc
lected and large number of Filipinos
sent here for a term of years would
In the end be beneficial both to the
Philippines and to Hawaii. in that
they would help to solve the dificul-
ties here and would learn the meth
DDS of work so that on their return
to the Philippines they would be
much more efficient.
Method Possible.
