Messrs. J. G. Schenck and J. T. Ever- ett of Basin, Wyo., spent several days in Hardin and vicinity the first of the week. The former is a civil engineer and surveyor and we understand rep- resents a company of Wyomi , • ,I,It • 'l- ists and canal builders who ‘. f ft, tike to engage in an enterprise of that char- acter in this valley. Beth gentlemen, n the Trines ritosost- ,t ; project offered Wyoming Two READY FOR BUSINESS Representative of Firm Inspects nal Route and Wants to Meet Land Owners and Make Con t rect. . H. Knepper, of the general contract- ing firm of H. Knepper et Co. of Sheri- dan, Wyo., spent the first of the week in Hardin and in inspecting the pro- posed location and route for the canal designed to mover the vat* land.s along the Big Horn. In courser, with U. S. Commissioner J. W. Johnston, Mr.Knepper instt teted the former sur- vey of the ye! , the headgate to the extreme sod and at the con- clusion of the trip stated positively that his firm would inside of two weeks be ready to offer two distinct propositions to the land owners in the valley for the building of the canal. The Tribune is not informed as to the reliability of the firm but Mr. Knepper stated positively that his people were prepared to finance the enterprise if an agreement could be reached. We are also informed that he will ask the land owners of the valley to meet him in Hardin in the very near future to re'- cei've his propositions and if possible come to an understanding. Mr. Knep- per assured those to whom he talked that his firm would be ready to com- mence active digging -within from thirty to sixty days. On leaving Hardin Mr. Knepper took the train for Huntley where, we under- stand, he expects to look over the notes of the government survey and secure what information there is obtainable from the reclamation service, after which he proposes to make a new sur- vey, draw plans and specifications and make etitiniates of the (set. The Tribune hopes to see the people of the valley tor* out. as one man to meet Mr. Knepper when he returns with his offers. The time has arrived when work on the canal should be un- der way and if Mr. Knepper has any- thing to offer that is right and fair— just to the land owner as well as to the people who finance the enterprise and do the work—we hope to see an agree- ment reached and the much talked of canal tinder way. Brace up, the worst may yet , be to come. Bryan's 'Birthday. William J. Bryan celebrated his 48th birthday yesterday. Editorially, the Billings Gazette, a tstamich republican newspaper, comments on the event as \Beyond a doubt he is the foremost American citizen in private life; honor- ed at home and respected abroad.

The very important matter of a sidewalk from the depot to the edge of the right of way was brought up. Superintend- ent Brannan stated that just as soon as the lot owners along Central Avenue put do - ten walks, the railroad company would connect up. It is now up to the property owners along that street to get busy and do their part. A private letter from Senator Dixon states that he has great hopes of se- curing the passage of his bill opening the remaining pirtion of the Crow res- ervation before the adjournment of the present session of congress. At present there is no serious opposition to the measure,' but should any develop later, or enough to prevent the bill from pass- ing, Senator Dixon assures his constitu- ents that the matter will be taken tw at the convening of congress next De. comber.
