Let Ne Show
You Wyoming!

You may have questioned some
of the statements you have heard
about the wonderful crop yields OBJ
tanned by Wyoming farmerS-par-
ticularly those in the Big Horn Ba-
sin but if you will visit the coun-
try and talk with some of the farm
ers from Illinois, Iowa and Mis-
souri, who have settled there, you
will readily understand why they
feel so optimistic.
A former Iowa man recently
wrote me as follows:
Il believe there is no better loca-
ton in the west than just where |
am, and | heartily advise my
friends to look over the fine irrigat-
ed land that is open to entry on
Shell Creek Tract, if they are inter-
ested in acquiring a home in pro-
gressive, rapidly developing coun-
try. l have planted an apple Or
chard on part of my land and shall
enlarge it considerably this next
spring; during this past season re-
ceived returns that were more than
satisfactory from quite an area
which | truck farmed, in spite of
the fact that this was the first year
the land had been cultivated"
What this man has done is not
at all unusual. There is no good
reason why you can't do it too, pro-
vided you get your place picked out
before all the good land is taken
up.
In order to make it easy for you
to look the Basin over without too
much expense. the Burlington Route
will run special Homeseekers' Ex-
cursion's from Omaha on October
18th and November 5th. Can't you
90 with me and see for yourself
just what the opportunities are in
this section?
Just write me on what day you
can go-a postal will do-and 1 will
send you our folder and tell you
lust how and where to meet me in

ton Agent, Burlington Route, Room

Read This and Reflect.

People have almost forgotten the
charges made against Ballinger, but
the most important of them was set
tied only the other day when Sec
rotary Fisher issued an order finally
cancelling, thirty-three coal land
claims in Alaska. The Cunningham
claims covered an area of $3.50
acres and their value ran high up
in the millions. The cancellation
was recorded in the Juneau land
office for fraud, the $4,000 paid
into the United States treasury by
the claimants is forfeited, and the
Morgan Guggenheim fortunes are
just that much short. Two promi-
nent public officers, Pinchot and
CLAWS, and several officers were
discharged from the public service
by Taft for calling attention to this
scheme to fraudulently get posses
sion of the coal lands of Alaska
