the only way any one can gain pres

has achieved all of these points, and
through his exalted position as

a way that no one else possibly

THE Riverton Reclamation Pro-

mont County, old pioneer of Wyom-
ing and a former member of the
legislature in both House and Sem
ate, always illuminate any subject
he discusses. He has been a Wyom-
ing stock man for forty years and
known all of the ms and outs of the
business. He has watched our po-
litical affairs since Wyoming was a
part of Dakota. He looks upon the
election of United States Senator this
year from a purely business stand
point. In a statement to the voters
of Fremont County and the State,
Mr.. Woodruff says:
Il have been wondering il the
voters of Fremont county would al
low me to say just a few words in
reference to our coming election,
not at all from a political stand
point, but as a strictly business
proposition.
I'VE are all vitality interested in
the Riverton Reclamation Project. 1t
means ver.' much to us all, and for
that reason alone If for no other it
seems to me that we should all do
our level best TO return Senator War
rem back to- the U. S. Senate, by
the biggest majority that was ever
polled for any candidate in the his
tory of our country.
Senator Warren, as we all must
admit. is the life Of that proposition.
1t Is through his efforts, and due to-
his position and prestige that it has
been kept alive. The Senator has
fought for the appropriations to
keep it going. against much opposi-
ton. 1t is a well known fact that
the Senate has been and is opposed
to any more large appropriations for
Western reclamation propositions,
for the good reason hat not one Of
them has ever paid out. or met with
the representations estimated on
reports of the engineering depart
ment.

great projects by every authority of
The Federal Government"
This announcement on the part
of President Coolidge is extremely
gratifying to- the people of Wyoming.
We are dependent to q great extent
in agricultural development upon
the reclamation of our arid lands.
and the aid of the President is need
ed in securing the necessary appro-
priations for the development work.
President Coolidge also expresses
himself favorable OF the development
of the Colorado River project where
several million acres of land may be
brought under irrigation and add ma
terially to the food supply of that
portion of America west of the
Rocky Mountains. Wyoming is in
terested in this project in some de-
gree, as the Green river, one of the
principle tributaries of the Colorado
takes its source in our State. The
upper reaches of the Green are be-
ing developed to some extent, and
the means for financing the same
will come right along with the de-
velopment Of the lower portion OF
the watershed. All OF the States in.
terested in the treaty save Arizona
have agreed to the plan and it is
not improbable that Arizona will
come to its senses before long.
But the development OF the Colo
RADIO is not Wyomings' greatest in
terest. The Platte, the Big Horn.
and the upper tributaries OF the lat
ter are our chief concern. There we
can develop thousands OF acres of
sugar beets. and 1t is an industry
