Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for years

women. In fact when congress,
in 1868, created the Territory Of
Wyoming from parts of Dakota,
Utah and Idaho, constitution
was adopted which gave women
the right to vote.
There were rumors of early
Spanish explorations in Wyoming
but they seem unfounded by
fact. Probably the first white
men to visit this part of the
country were Sieur de la Veren-
deze, and his sons who passed
through this region in 1743 in
search of locations for trading
posts. In 1904 the Yellowstone
was first visited by hunters, al
though the fame of its scenic
beauty was not given much Gre
dence until 1870 and it was set
aside as q federal reserve In
1872.
The first permanent fort In
Wyoming was erected In 1884
where the Laramie river flows
into the Platte. Later when the
stream of immigrants passed
through this region on their way
to the California gold fields
string Of forts were erected
along the Oregon Trail to pro-
tect the travellers from attacks
by the hostile Sioux Indians.
Through Wyoming went not
only the Oregon Trail, which
was opened up by Lieutenant
Fremont and his guide, Kit Car
son, in 1912, but also the Salt
Lake Trail. Along these routes
many travellers crossed Wyo-
ming, but few stopped and set
tied there as the country was
the most arid of all our states.
The discovery Of gold in 1867
led to the founding Of South
Pass City and in the same year
Cheyenne was laid out by the
Union Pacific Railroad company.
Wyoming became the forty
fourth state of the Union in 1880
and is eighth in size with an
area Of 0z914 square miles.

Crasshopper War
Is Very Effective

Recently the county commissioners
of Crowley, Peublo, Lincoln and Ell
Paso counties held joint meeting
and mapped out war on the grass
the section of the country in the
neighborhood of where the four coun-
ties join. An appropriation was
made to buy and put out poison and
very effective work was done. Lat
er reports indicate that the posts in
the vicinity where they were so num-
erous had been almost eXterminated,
but it required some quick and hard
work to do it, bitches and pits were
made thru long stretches of the
country and poison brand was placed
in these bitches and pits. The hop
pers. then. had no wings and they
would be- attracted into the pitfalls
and would either die of the bran pois-
on or starvation. approximately
$500 was eXpnded on this hopper
campaign, but from what can be
learned it has saved many thousands
of dollars worth of crops from being
destroyed.
AT a meeting of county commits
sioners of the thirteen counties OF the
southeastern part of the state in
Pueblo last Saturday, the commits
sioners of the four counties where
the war had been made on the hop
pers met and mado Investigations
thru reports TO see what had been
done. Fred Tarbox of Crowley coun-
ty, presided as chairman, having been
made chairman of the joint meeting
held a few days previous.
An army of grasshoppers hit Pu-
eblo at about midnight Tuesday night.
They gathered there in vast drove
seemingly attracted by the lights.
Apparently the advance guard went
into Pueblo from the northeast.
Reports from Golden say that an
invasion of hoppers has damaged
1000 acres of crops in that vicinity.
