A Long Road That Has No Turn.

We are beginning to witness the fact the Panama Canal is a
factor not to be overlooked in railroad circles. The California fruit
is going via the Panama, loaded in refrigerator boats, that do not vary
hardly a degree in temperature, and being unloaded cheaper and in
better condition in New York Harbor, than ever before or possible
by rail. Wheat and lumber from the North West is rapidly follow
ing the lead of the fruit, and we are now witnessing the effect on the
'transcontnentalr railroads.
In the case of the U. p. Ry, this valley and thousands of other
like places of western localities, have heretofore been passed up, as
not being worth the trouble it took to help develope them. Had the
U, P, like the Burlington, fortified itself against the coming of the
Panama. in building up every industry possible and developing the
agricultural lands along its territory, it would not be today gasping
as it is. Freight is what makes the money for the railroads, and it ia
freight that they most crave, and yet in passing up their own territory,
they have virtually cut their own Threats, for years to come.
1t has not been the policy to build up anything in Wyoming
The .. P. seemed to have a motto "Cross Wyoming, we have to, but
do it with IS few stops as God will let us" This valley alone
could be supplying a train load of freight daily, as could the Snake
river, the Medicine Bow river, if they were all properly developed,
and over in the Laramie Plains country they could have done con.
siderable towards building up that country, but no, they had no time
for us and now when they need our help, they can go hang for it or
swim in, and that will take years to do, what could have been done
along the way as they went. This is probably more apparent to them
now than to us, yet this seems to be a timely time to discourse on the
subject. Sort of told you So" This valley could have 10000 acres
of land under cultivation in ten years time, supporting many thous.
ands of people, instead of it's present condition, had the Q. P. shown
any disposition to actually "get out and get under" in the time gone
by.

Place a number of different kinds
and sizes of turtles in a small space
and the forbearance which is exhibited
might well be a lesson to man. Big
and little will crawl about, needless of
each others comfort or security from
harm. A small painted terrapin. for
instance, will Chamber solidly over the
head of a vicious snapper, and the
chances are that the latter will merely
duck its head or move to one side so
that the claws of the former will not
tnjure its eyes. There seems at such
times a look of patient resignation or
sullen submission, which would imme-
diately change to savage resentment
and fierce attack If a man made a han.
dredth part of the commotion. These
creatures appear to be able to distin-
guish between mo offense meant and
intentional mauling. While they sub

other, IL fight has not been previously

View Before and After.

Before the 1910 campaign the democrats advocated kicking State
Land Commissioner Fuller out of Office SO that the segregated Lands
could be thrown open to entry, o else the people holding the segre-
cations should be made TO build their irrigation schemes at once
THIS was one of the main platform pledges of Carey. This matter
was fought by republicans in this valley on the ground that if the
.segregations were opened in this valley we would loose the priority
water permits ahead of the pathfinder. As soon as Carey W a we'll in
the saddle after election, the democrats admitted that it was impossi-
BILE to turn looos the segregatons, for fear of loosiag the priority
water to the Pathfinder from this valley, and neither did our great
with things in exactly the same conditions a s he found them, unless
fuss about, is now being investigated by the Legislature in SESSION at
this date.
John b. Kendrick, in his campaign for Governor, like Carey was
going to do big things, and among them was the loose of water from
this state to other states. This WI combatted in the samew a nv
the republicans, that the water wasn't lost. That there and ia
sufficient water to water everything in the natural irrigation scope of
each and every stream and not interfere with other states. and that
the stopping of water from flowing over the borders of WYOMING
would have the same effect, in Wyoming as in other states. If Wv.
oming could correl her water, why conduit other states, and thereby
Wyoming would have less water, than it has today. The Big Snake
Little Snake, North Platte and Laramie Rivers all head in other
states, and that would leave Wyoming with, the Wind, Big Horn
Yellowstone, Green, Gray Bull and one " two smaller streams. The
Yellowstone couldn't be used to irigate 100 acres in the state of Wv
oming, as that river drops down out of the divide, and rushes through
impassible canyons, on out through a few miles in the Yellowstone
Park, into Montana and is gone. And could we save it +? We couldn't
raise money enough outside of the government to divert this stream
can do in the matter of water is to give and take, and Gov. Keudrick
Is advocating a settlement of the matter. He like Carey, is nov
using the same argument, after election, az the republicans used be.

and after election. The after view must look different than the "be-
fore taking" 1t is only after election that a sober mind of a demo

not overlook the fact that this water matter should be settled bv

has everything to gain and nothing
to lose.
"The newspapers have been giving
the celebration much publicity. we
knew that thousands of people will be
brought to the city for the event and
like all Harrisburgers we desired to do
our full part toward making the cele-
bration a success, and for this reason
as much as any other we started work
on the Improvement just as soon as
we felt we had the approval of Coun-
Gil and the people. 1t must be under
stood that this work cannot be done
in day and the uncertainty of the
weather this summer is such that we
must move very rapidly indeed If we
are to complete the work in the time
specified.

possible. In the present instance, the
officials of the company have dis
played their interest in the city by Of
fering to put the standards in at cost
and to finance the Improvement. We
feel that the river wall lights, how
ever, have a wider importance than
that attached to their being in opera
ton during the celebration. Hundreds
of people promenade along the walk
during evenings and hundreds more
which lights afford. Everybody agrees
that we must have at least temporary
lighting for the celebration, but the
company proposes to save this money
to the city, or rather, to put it into a
permanent lighting system
