prominence to the fact hat this money
is invited and that it will be forever
exempt from taxation when used in de
velopment of irrigation.
"rhere will be no sacrifice, for the in
creased valuations of the millions of
acres yet to be developed will add suf-
ficiently to our tax rolls to many times
compensate the counties and state in
assessed valuation. At present dry
land and un%irrigated lands are valued
mt a maximum of so per acre for tax
alton, while the irrigated lands carry a
maximum, according to classification
of $50 an acre.
There would be many acres of land
increased largely in valuation, and the
state would profit immensely if some
thing could be done to the
development of these lands.'

Preparing for Contest Before
the Commerce Commission
L. G. Davis of Saratoga and Attorney L. E. Armstrong
of Rawlins Now Enroute to Washington to Appear
Before the Interstate Commerce Commission in
Preparation for Presenting Valleys Case.

In preparation for the hearing to be
held before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. concerning the applica-
tion of the Morse Brothers Company to
abandon and junk the local railway,
two representatives of the Platte Val
ley people have gone to Washington to
appear before the Commission with
the object of arranging for the hearing
to be held in the national capital. As
Il rule. it is said. such hearings are
conducted by one member of the Com
mission in the capital city of the state
in which the controversy arises. but it
is desired in this case that the hearing
be held in Washington before the Com
mission entire. With this object in
view. Hon. l.. G.. Davis of Saratoga and
Attorney L. f. Armstrong of Rawlins,
the latter being the legal representa-
tive of the Platte valley people. depart
ed Tuesday evening for the national
capital. Superintendent J.. Il. Me
Shane of the S. & Il. railroad is also
enroute to Washington to appear be-
fore the Commission i'll some prelimi-
nary matters in the interests of the
owners of the road.
1t is the belief of many local people
that greater pressure may be brought
to bear upon the Commission if the
hearing is held in Washington. as in
that case the opportunity would be af-
forded for Senators Warren and Ken
drick and Congressman Mondell to
appear in our behalf without undue
Inconvenience, and for other reasons

Through Senate Resolu=
ton, Protests Against Abandonment

Strenuous protest against the pro
posed junking Of the Saratoga & En-
campment railroad in southern Wyom-
ing is provided for in n resolution
introduced in the state senate Saturday
morning by President W. w. Daley of
Rawlins and referred to the commit
tee on public utilities. The protest
will, If adopted, go to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. 1t reads:
Whereas, 1t has become known that
the owners of the Saratoga & Encamp-
ment railroad are, contemplating aban-
doning the operation of said road and
selling the rails and other materials
as so-called junk, and that the said

To Remove Tax
From Reservoirs
Bill introduced by Senator Skovgard
Delayed In Its Passage Through
the State Legislature.

A bill introduced by Hon. Simon
Skovgard in the state senate a few days
ago, relating to the taxation of irriga-
ton works. met with disapproval when
brought before the body. being recon-
mitted until further information may
be secured. This bill provides.
Canals, bitches, reservoirs and other
irrigation works within the state of
Wyoming, created for the purpose of
irrigation and reclamation of lands
within the state of Wyoming, shall be
exempt from direct taxation
That such a measure would greatly
encourage the building of irrigation
projects within the state, and result in
a greatly increased area of irrigated
lands, seems to be the general opinion.
Concerning this proposed law, the Sher-
idan Post says:
1T would be regrettable if the bill is
defeated which has been introduced in
the state senate by Hon. Simon Skov-
gard providing an exemption of taxa
ton for all irrigation works which are
w NpAi vi tdlIA MdltT 10
lands for irrigation purposes. wyo-
ming has too few of these reservoirs
and larger projects for the distribu-
ton of water to lands which need it
for agricultural development. The ten
dency should be to the ex-
penditure of money in such develop
ment rather than discourage it.
millions of acre-feet of water are
going out of our mountains and state
each year, passing beyond the POSSIBLE
1ty of being utilized in the development
OF Wyoming lands, and running as
waste through other states to its des-
tination in the waters of the ocean.
There are splendid opportunities not
only in Sheridan county but in many
other counties in the state, for capital
to take advantage of, but such a step

S. 6 E. R. R. in Better Condition Than
Was the U. P. When Ten Years Old

Among the many letters written by
Platte Valley residents to Union Paci-
fic officials, urging that they take some
steps toward keeping the valley line
in operation, Is one written by John
Swanson, prominent Spring Creek
rancher, who was for many years m
ployed as a section foreman for he
Union Pacific Company during the
pioneer days of this commonwealth.
This letter, which we are permitted to
publish, brings out quite graphically
the fact that the local railroad, with
Its present equipment after ten years
Of operation, is n better railroad than
was the Union Pacific at the same age.
and enjoys equally good prospects of be-
coming within n few years nm equally

and show where it was.
There were a terrible lot of rotten
ties In the track. I remember that
there used to be very many "slow or
ders'' out on account of the rotten ties.
The passenger trains rate of speed
was Is miles per hour. If it had been
Is miles they could not have stayed on
the track. The first steel rails That
were laid were 5G-pound, and they last
ed n long time.
II is II fact that the Saratoga & En-
campment railroad is in much better
shape and has been giving better ser
vice, both winter and summer, than the
great Union Pacific did ten years after
II was completed.
We know that. Judging by the way
this valley has developed in irrigated
acreage and farming products since the
local railroad was built. it will he only
a few years now till il is a well nay
ing line. We ask your aid to keep II
from being junked, and to ward off the
misfortune that seems to be hanging
over us.

JOHN SWANSON.
Mr.. Swanson is well along in years
now, and one of the best-known citi-
zens of Saratoga. He is one of the
largest ranch Owners of the valley and
is Interested in other lines of business.
Employed by the Union Pacific most
OF the time from 1873 until 1898. he
is well acquainted with all the early
history OF that o and the above is
only one of the many interesting and
entertaining stories he tells of the old
times. He can give many rare stories
of the olden days. which should he
