"I have vioited most all of the noted
mineral springs and I wish to say that
none have proven so beneficial as th«»
DeMaris Springs Just west of your
beautiful little town.
“When I first saw this section of
Wyoming some years ago at Powel
und Garland, rather where they are
now located, there was nothing but a
vast sage brush flat. The develop
ment since has been nothing short ot
wonderful.
“You people of Park county have a
great piece of country. The 3cenery
the climate, the richness of your soil,
the certainty of water supply for ir
rigation make it the ideal spot for men
to acquire riches and independence.
One of the greatest assets, in my
judgment, is the magnificent scenery
you have here. I have never seen any
thing to equal It. This If properlv
brought before the country at large
should draw an ever increasing num
ber of tourists to Cody.”
Thus spoke F. H. Reddington ot
Shelton. Neb., a rich nnd prosperous
fanner who tills over 2.000 acres ot
land. He is the brother-in-law of
Councilman R. C. Hargraves, whose
West Mr. Reddington had been prior

and subsequently, for a few days. Mr.
Reddington who is very enthusiastic
over this section of the Big Horn Basin
grows more so with each trip hero.
He left this week for his home.

fair, green valley hemmed In by hills
aa picturesque In their various phases
as the valley la fresh and beautiful,
and many are the delights in store
for this party of pleasure seekers.

because he will become acquainted
first hands with local conditions ef
fecting our great irrigation projects.
“He will then be able to direct mat
ters in his department with groatei
assurance as to ultimate results, 1
believe that when he sees the magn

wish maintained in the beet manner
possible. We expect good results jto

SHERIDAN’S NEW GOVERNMENT.
The Sheridan Enterprise of Wednes
day says:
“By a majority of only twenty votes
the citizens of Sheridan yesterday
adopted the new commission form ol
government, provided for in tho Wyo
ming Session Laws of 1911. The tot**
vote stood 501 in favor cf adoption
and 481 against.
The general attitude of the majority
of the citizens was against any change
in the method of government, but be
cause of apathy and a general lack ot
Interest they failed to exercise their
right of franchise at tsie polls and al
lowed the measure to go through “by
the skin of its teeth.”
However, the measure has carried
and this community must abide by its
decision. Whether the change will be
beneficial to Sheridan by doing the
many things said of it yet remains to
be seen. Sheridan is the first city in
Wyoming to try this experiment and
the evolution will be watched with in
terest not only from the Wyoming
cities but from neighboring states as
well.”

Xhdge and Mrs. Walls entertained r*

This firm also had on sale some
children’s rockers that they sell for
less than one dollar. Nothing will
please the childish heart more than
one of these rockers.
Dr. Bennetts store was buoy as us

his rounds and Emil Shibler was just

Special Kodak.
This store has also just received a
large line of the very latest copy
r ghted novels, that are the hit of the
season. For instance there is “The
Prodigal Judge.” He is a most lov
able character and one of the most
prodigal of heroes-eloquent at any bar.
He is Falstaffian in capacity of appe
tite and intellect. The judge in this
interesting novel is one to be reckon
ed with. The ll3t of new novel 3 also
includes "The Haunted Pajamas”—
which brings a delicious blush to a
woman’s check and makes a man
chuckle at midnight when he reads It
all alone. “The Adventures of a Mod

the risibilities when one covers his
delightful encounters with the bright
women that led him such a merry, In-

HOMESTEADER’S CAUSE IS
DEFENDED BY THE WYOMING

Washington, August 2, —The cause
of the dry farmer and the homesteader
came in for an able defense in the sen
ate during the discussion of the War
ren bill granting leave of absence to
homesteaders until April 15th. Cer
tain senators suggested that the mat

session and be taken up under a gen

Wyoming men succeeded in passing
the measure. Speaking in favor of
his bill. Senator Warren called atten
tion to the necessity for immediate
action, especially on account of tho
dry farmer. He said:
“This bill is more especially nec
essary now because of the new en
deavor, comparatively speaking, of
dry-farming, so-called. Lands that
were supposed to be arid and semi
arid, where water cannot be conducted
upon them, are now being brought un
der cultivation. There have been
large numbers of people who have set
tled upon these lands and by deep
plowing and summer fallowing are
reclaiming the land, making homes
and through their sturdy efforts they
are not only making two blades of
grass grow where one grew before, but
are making thousands of blades of
grass, thousands of acres of growing
crops grow, where none grew before,
and where in some cases the land was
an absolute desert and in others, at
best, only produced short, sparse wild
grasses. They had in many localities
