A HINT TO CARBON COUNTY.
Laramie Paper Suggests a Line of
EndeayOr Which Platte Valley
People Should Agitate.

(From the Laramie Republican, -
Over in the Saratoga valley, near the
Colorado line. there is IA reservoir site
superior to that of the great Pathtind-
er. We have it from Il competent en-
gineer that it would hold more than
twice the water the Pathfinder stores.
This reservoir could be constructed by
the government for IA small portion of
the value it would bring to the great
valley of the North Platte. 1t is ST
situated that water from it could be
carried as high as the city of Rawlins.
1t would supplement the reservoir
lower down and would make water for
the lands of Ii lower valley in this
state and western Nebraska always IL
certainty. To fill it would not detract
in the slightest from the efficiency of
the bie@dam- below. 1t would simply
hold back the food waters of spring
and early summer and afford plenty of
water for the late summer and fall.
would also serve to regulate the flow
later in the season.
There is another thought connected
with this project the people of Car
bon county and the state could well
consider. Right at Rawlins there are
no lands hat can be farmed. The
penitentiary is located there Either
the entire institution or IA branch
thereof ought to be located on agri-
cultural lands. There is a vast acre
age of such lands near or below Sara
toga. In the very neal future a large
expenditure must be made i'll the con
struction Of u new dollhouse for the
state penitentiary. Would it not be
the sane thing to make this eXpendi-
ture at some point in Carbon county
where all kinds of farm II garden
produce could be raised-where the
unfortunate men could be worked III

school of mines. His new place pays
a salary of $4,000 a year.
Under the new law passed by the
1919 legislature the state geologist is
required to devote a large share of
his time to advising the state land and
state school boards in administering
the mineral lands. Being thoroughly
acquainted with the oil lands of WyO-
ming, and having such wide expert
ence in similar work throughout the
west, Mr.. Morgan will be in Il position
to render valuable assistance to the
boards along this line.
His selection by Governor Carey was
upon the recommendation of men &c
quainted with his capabilities.

Mr., Cory explained that his report
TO the Mississippi committee was only

said. n project In each state had been
