reader j to Its lst i As to the opening of the Fort Hal j I reservation why it Is Impossible lo say what Congress will or may do 1 I went to Washington early In llw I nineties to secure just the very IcgrK I latlon which Is now being so carnesllj I sought after and you see how mud good It did So while we are hoping that Congress will give Pocatcllo It muchneeded relief there is no telllnf how soon the proposed measure ma bii brought up l and whether after IllH I I brought up It Vill pass both houses 01 Congress But the longer I live ir I Idaho the more J sun convinced that it I Is I destined to become a great State and the more ready am I to pin mj rCCl I faith to Its success As the Govornni says then Is a steady stream 0 Immigration Immi-gration Into the commonwealth from time East and the ne comers are desirable de-sirable people who have means am are prepaied to invest the same ir agriculture stockraising or mining S 6 I have been up In IHnta county Wyo and talked with people theme remarked F I Peilgo of Omaha at Uu Ken on yesterday and the cunsensu oC opinion seems to be that this wlntei Is going to be it mild one like the winter of 1SOO1U which vas as midas mid-as the previous winter was severe Lasi t winter was as you remember unusually unusual-ly revere and cold records were broker all over the country I do not believe that then will be any snow to npeali of until February and after that month Is passed winter will be > unc and spring wi ill I I open bright and early The range cattle in Ulnla county Wyo are still living on range feed and there Is no Immediate prospect oe winter feeding of hay at the corrals as yet However there Is plenty of hay I In the counto though like as not ar boon as snow comes tho growers will I Imagine that there Is no hay In the section and start a hay scare The stock at present are all In line condition condi-tion and hopes are entertained that there ulll be a boom in sheep and cattle cat-tle the coming season The county is i not much for agriculture but there Is I a heap of business being done there In stock coal mining lallroadlng and merchandising o 5 SIt S-It Is I something unprecedented this appearance of Eastern Noolbuycr over the Intelmountain ranges and raking In the spring clip at this time of the year said R B Organ of Chicago Chi-cago representing the Nickel Plate railroad at the Knutsford yesterday Growers are asking and getting contracts con-tracts for 20 cent and advances arc being already made on the spring clip A buyer wi contract for a clip and then advance the grower 2 to 1 cents per pound to bind the bargain and to make him feel easier and better humored hu-mored Probably a million pounds or more of wool arc secured at this early day This has never been seen before and means that shcepmen are sure or a large amount of money this spring I and tho West will have lots of hard cash to spend before summer buds I come Wyoming Is thus specially favored fa-vored and the satisfaction there with MeKlnley prosperity Is such that the State Is sure to go Republican al the next election I do not find Democrats nowadays among sheep or cattlemen The West will have use for the money from Its spring wools as England Eng-land is drawing heavily on the Eastern banks for American gold on account oC the African war and a shortage lo C cash in the East Is threatened I notice no-tice that silver Is being coined rapidly In the Eastern mints and even then there Is not enough to meet the demand de-mand O 0 0 I do not see why oysters can not be groun out here notwithstanding the findings of the United States llsh commission com-mission said F U Ford of Sioux City at the Cullen yesterday The Investigators Investi-gators found that the bivalves might thrive In the brackish waUrs between the fresh and dense salt water near the shores of the estuaries but that this space was Insurllcleut to warrant any extended attempt at oyster propagation propaga-tion Now I should think that large ton shallow ponds might be constructed near the lake after the fashion of the alt beds only deeper and the water made sulllclently brackish to grow oysters At the present cost of getting the bivalves out here from the Atlantic coast I should think such a scheme a this might be made to work profitably profit-ably S S S I expect that our wholesale grocery business In this city will open about Limo Oth of tho month In the new warehouse at Third West and Second South streets said J B Cosgrlff of Foct Steele at the Kenyon yesterday At tho same time we will continue our banking business I at llawllns and the handling of sheep and merchandising i merchandis-ing at Fort Steele Saratoga and Opal Wyo The past year has been a great season In Wyoming for everybody and an Immense amount of business has been done Stock and sheepmen are jubilant miners storekeepers and the farmers are happy and from the present pres-ent Indications I should say that the current year will be made noticeable for a I still further Increase of business lon y Is I easy in time State and as for Its politics Wyoming Is pretty sure to go Republican at the next election The Democrats stand less of C show there than ever 1 before although the oldtime Democratic favorite Bryan Is sure to be renomlnated by the national Democratic convention tho coming summer c S u We have not had any snow so far flown In the Kanab country said J P Fuller of that town at the White house yesterday I the snow does not load up the his there will be short thrift for water In Kane county during the coming season The drouth burned and with up t our ranges last summer out water I for the coming summer all the stock will have to be driven out of the country that Ii such as Is left ihere are fair winter ranges now and sheep have been driven into tho country coun-try from the surrounding sections for winter pasturage But the outlook for lot weather Is not encouraging There has been luwiVii consider xble
