Knepper, of the contraetiag firm of 1 H. Knepper & Co., of Shersitio. Wyo., met the people of the valley - in the lobby of the Hardin Hotel last Saturday and ! made them a definite and what is con• • aiderest a good proposition fqr .1 1111 ‘09/14 - struction of a canal to water voile twenty thousand, acres of the land lying in this vafley. . Mr. Knepper was . ac• f companied by O. It. McCoy, ao at- torney of Sheridan, who did most of the talking for Irr., Eneppef. At the beginning it was 4uggested that the people of the valley orioinize themselves into a company or 'organ- ization, in order that Mr. Knapper or any other party would have a duly authorized body to deal with... Articles of•incorporation of te Hardin Water Users' Association. previtmelY prepared , were read, after which a „request was made that all present who desired to join the association 'should sign the articles. Without exception all present signified their willingneas by attaching their signature. This being done a board of directors consisting of five members was elected as folliaws: W. E. Reno, C. C. Calhoun, L. J. Gilliland, Mr. Haffner and G. H. Thomas. Mr. Knepper, through his attorney, then stated his proposition to the meet- sng. He offered to construct a caual of aarfieiera osparity to curry 100 inches of water to every 160 acres of load under the camel, with wooden beatigate and wooden flumes, construct all tlie later- als, with wooden gates at all points of diversion, the entire works to be first class in every respeet and to be passed upon by a competent engineer ander the employ of the association, fist the sum of $10.75 per acre on five years time, with a discount of 10 per cent for cash. The company will be required to raise and deposit in some bank to be selected the sum of $80,000 before work will commence. Security for the bid- atuos . is to be placed! in escrow and turned over to the contractor in install- ments as the work progresses. Knep- per & Co. agree to commence work within thirty days from the time the deposit is made and will complete the work by a date to be determined. It is no exaggeration to may that those present at the meeting displayed great enthusiasm and were evidently ready to clot* a contract.. However, many of the land Owners of the valley were not present and it was impossible to close a • ciintract without wtiret,,tigini ; suiting them and engaging their. co-cno. eration. This will be done at the earl- iest possible time and it is hoped that :it the meeting tomorrow enough will be present either by person or by proxy so that final arrangements can be made. On Sunday Mr. J. W. Gregory of Basin. Wyo., met with the board of di- rectors and others and made them a proposal to build the canal. Mr. Greg- ory stated that he had ample backing to put the enterprise through. His plan 'differed from Mr. Knepper's in • the matter of a headgate. flumes and pay- ments. He proposed to build a canal sufficient to tarry 100 inches of water per 180 acrem, with a concrete headgate, steel flumes, wooden gates for diversion laterals and the construction of the main laterals. No cash payment was tusked, and in (use any of the parties desired to commute his company would tarnish the money and take security for that and the water right at one and the 'tame time. A discount of A per cent would be allowed for milt or live years time would he given: ico pay'ri ment would he required until the canal was (.40inpleted. He gnaranteed to onn men* work within thirty daym from the date of the signing of the contract Both of those propoeitisms are good ones and it looks as though 'something would be doing in the canal line. in the very near future. If both are all, es al to slip hy it will make people gerearell. believe that the land owners in the val Icy are not overly anxious for water , Word ham been received that. Messrs..

Without a full in- vestigation of all the facts in the ease; many of them have been led to be- lieve that the tariff now in force has brought about the present high price of paper. I think a full knowlege of the facts in the come will - lead the newspaper 'Men to a different View and result in directing their efforts tiling a different line. \The truth is that the tariff on paper —amounting to only $6.00 per ton—a little leas than one-third of a cent per pound, has little to do with the pres- ent price of news print, which is about $0 per ton, or three and a half cents . • • per pound: The truth is the paper mills have formed a combination to Mike the onne price for paper At all jthe mills for for every part of the coun- try. The Attorney -General should at once proceed against the unlawful combination, under the -sprovisionm of the first real battle since Mckinlerietthe Sherman anti-trust law and I an - first election. Sin a i then it has been a denstand that steps are now being tak- bo looking to a vigorous prosecution. walk -over for thereimblican candidates.

Bryan is also a strong and the Canadian mills for a further man and he has a following that men' who listen only to the talk ef theelub, hotel lobby, or business exchange have no idea of. His strength is underesti- mated, I believe.” • \As for Mr. Hughes there seems to be three things against his choice and I do net think 'his following is strong •• enough to ripple the convention. In the' • first place he does not work With the Ten Reasons Why Should Carry politiciana; . to the business men he is an unknown quantity and in the third place he has none of the qualities of personal' magnetism that is so necessary to carry popular favor. He is a man of great character, *it he is a least bit narrow and he works absolutely atone.

The question of water for irrigation purposes' has been the all absorbing .tOpit: for the past month. During the latter part of February and through March 'surveys have been made of two reservoir sites and a pipe line leading from the Big Horn river to them, by gravity. This pipe line would be forty miles long. The first reservoir was found to have an area of 4?0 acres, making an available supply sufficient to cover the 20,000 acres lying under it 2.4 inches deep. Reservoir No. 2 was found some- what smaller in area but deeper, being - capable of covering the hind in question with water 3.2 inches deep, The surrey of the pipe line developed the fact of only 138 feet pressure through the 18 - inch pipe from tbe canyon to the reser- voir, which was insufficient. The sur- vey showed the river to have an average rise from Two -leggin creek to the can- yon of 8.6 feet to the mile. In view of these and other facts it has been der tertnined to discontinue further inVelln- gation along these lines. $ttfthese Melt , of perseverence and pluck are not da- couraged, and' at a recent meeting ap pointed a committee consisting of Messrm. , •eleland, Bateman and' Hill with instriictions to exatninle into the prac ticability of installing a primping plant with gasoline power to raise the water from the river about 125 feet to an open ditch on the bench. This plan is thought to cost nbeitt $12.50 per acre for installation anti $1.50 per year for maintenance. This article, Mr. Editor, serves - to show the intentions of our people, the thirst to build and equip new homes and the anxiety . to develope the country in a generul And with an:east- ern hrunigratioh upon us of more than a million people and homeseekers to this country per year, from over the water, this new laud will he valued and sell at an advance and rated as aline of the best land in. this great common- wealth.
