WasHINGTON, Mar. 11.—Hon. Clar
-200l D- Clark, the new senator fi om
Wyoming, elected on a free silver and
sovernment aided irrigation platform, is
3 slender ana wiry gentieman Or tne
western Yankee type, wufh a scholarly
face and an attractive air of gentility
and refinement. He is a native of New
york, but has lived in Wyoming since
1881, was the state’s first member in
the house, and like all those western en
gerprisers he is skin full of enthusiasm
about his state and mashed on his town,
which town i 8 Evanston, 6,700 feet
shove the sea and located where Bear
river starts down the northward slope
from its rocky trough in the Wasatch
highlands. Like his fellow citizens, too,
pe is somewhat inclined to be a topo
graphical Pharisee, having much to say
about the bracing air and pure water
and the fact that ‘‘when the mercury is
50 below zero I suffer less with cold
there than I do when it is at the freez
ing point here. » ] traversed all that re
gion many times in the years from 1868
t 0 1875, inclusive, and & two hours’ talk
with the senator was like a restoration
of young manhood and a draft of the
ozone laden air of the high Rockies.
A Unique State.
4aid talk was in his room at Willard’s
and under trying circumstances, for the
nouse was jammed full of women. The
pational council and various minor or
ganizations of the sex were having their
big reception. Every hall was crowded,
and the solitary male had to force his
way amid clouds of fluttering furbelows
orslip up a back stairway, while the
clatter of feminine voices drowned the
ordinary noises of the street, and a cigar
conld only be indulged in behind care-

fully closed doors. It goes without say
ing that all the women are interested in
Wyoming’s representatives, of which
more anon. ‘‘We are,’’ said Senator
Clark, ‘‘not only the first common
wealth in the world to abolish all civil
and political distinctions between the
sexes, but our state is unique in so many
other respects that it would take an
hour to simply enumerate them. There
is not another equal area in the world
which contains so much natural wealth
with so little show of it at first view.
“Well, we have 80,000 square miles
underlaid with that lignite or semibitu
minous coal which is now so extensive
ly mined around Evanston, and reser
voirs of oil of immense possibilities,
both lnbricating and illuminating. Our
area is pretty near 100,000 square miles,
and our population is still below one to
the mile, but the growth is steady and
healthful. The oil deposits, by the way,
donot run with the coal, but liein a belt
across the state from southwest to north
tast. The agricultural wealth increases
rapidly from the Union Pacific north-
Wward as the railroad runs on a ridge or
bench of the Rocky mountains, nearly
the highest land in the state. North-
Ward toward the valley of the Platte
the land is lower and more fertile, and
What is of much more importance can
easily be irrigated. That Big Horn val
ley is destined to a great future because
il_lere are such fine facilities for irriga
-on.’’
For Politics Only.
“But is it a silver state?”’
E “In politics, but not in production.
Senator Carey is called a goldbug, but
hli‘ fuccessor, Hon. Francis E. Warren,
™ like myself, a bimetallist. Senator
Carey, I ought to say, also calls himself
& bimetallist, being of that class who

Il 1899, as there was no election in
1893, and so I fill out the term which
should have begun then. Of course all
S¢nators from the new states in the next
Ongress are bimetallists, but Wyoming
Produces far more gold than silver. The

Wlth very primitive methods have lately

“ dAPTODOG to the racket here tonight
the the general invasion of the city by
_ "¢ ladies what is your verdict after 26
years 6 woman surrrager 1v the wom
en generally vote, and, if so, what is the
result?’’
““Well, about the only eriticism I
have heard is that it makes things just as
they were before, only a little more so.
It certainly has done no harm, and in
two respects I think it has done some
g_ood. We have no more of those elec
tlop rows which are so common in new
regions. Around the polls it is as quiet
as a Sunday school picnic. And neither
party dares to nominate a man of known
immoral character, as the ladies would
cerlainly defeat him. There was a good
flqal of tulk about dissensions in fam
ilies, but I think there is none. I cer
tainly have neither known nor heard of
any. It is assumed, of course, that a
family, husband, wife and grown daugh
tors, if any, vote as a unit, but we have
had noticeable exceptions. How it is
now no one knows, as the Australian
ballot conceals all that. Of course
woman suffrage has worked no great
moral reform, as that sort of thing is
not done by voting. Wpyoming has im
proved wonderfully since the wild times
you remember, but all new countries
improve, and it may be a mere coinci
dence. As to women on juries, well, it
pas been found more convenient to have
jury duty done by men, except in some
rare instances like those mentioned by
Blackstone, where the judgment of dis
creet matrons is thought necessary.
Continued attendance in court and be
ingshut up in jury rooms are much more
inconvenient for ladies than for men.”’
Potatoes and Peas.
At this point the senator’s secretary,
Mr. B. M. Ausherman, and another
Wyoming gentleman arrived, and- by
contagion of talk there arose such en
‘thusiasm about the new state that I
‘shall credit the senator only with what
‘heindorsed. ‘‘The possibilities of these
little valleys are illustrated by the ex
perience of your former townsmen at
Corinne, U. T. A company has ocut a
canal through the rock up at the rapids
of Bear river, and thus taken the water
out on to the highest ridge of the valley,
from which by canal it irrigates a vast
region, and so Corinne has become a
prosperous place. As you ride through
Wyoming it looks from the cars as if it
were barren, but turn water on those
yellow plains, and they produce in a
manner that is really marvelous. Con
gress, you know, has granted 1,000,000
acres to each state in the arid region,
and our legislature is now devising a
plan by which settlers may be protected
and yet a fair percentage given on the
capital invested in the canals. When
such work is done by a private company,
there is great danger of a grievous wa
ter monopoly. The legal rate of interest
in Wyoming lis 12 per cent, but money
can now be borrowed for less. We can
raise more potatoes per acre than any
other region in the world and have
twice taken the world’s prize for big
yields of various products. Mr. J. i
Caldwell of Evanston, on land 6, 700 feet
above the sea, raised the finest potatoes
ever produced in the west, and 56 of
them picked weighed 65 pounds. On
Fort Bridger plain, which you pro
pounced an irredeemable desert, one
man got water from a little spring to
irrigate one acre, which he planted in
peas. It produced 50 bushels, which he
sold in Evanston at 6 cents a pound.
“Wyoming is more than twice as
large as Pennsylvania, but the lowest
point in it is higher than the highest
mountain in the latter state. Yet every
thing will grow where there is water.
The surprising wealth of the state is in
coal, oil and gold, but the great wealth
to be is in sheep and cattle, and if wool
is ever to be worth anything again there
will be millions in it. It is the ideal
home of the fine swooled sheep, and you
may guess what our fellows think of
your Democratic tariff when we tell you
that wool as it comes from the ranch
only sells at 7 cents a pound. Inciden
tally that makes them think of the ef
fects of monometallism.”’
It is nearly 27 years since I made my
first tour in Wyoming, and surely there
never was a more reckless and migra
tory population in any country or more
evanescent and roaring towns. In Chey
enne the first house was erected J uly 8,
1867, and the next November there was
a population of 7,000, with a city gov
ernment, a municipal debt and three
daily papers, and likewise a select soci
ety, old settlers, newcomers and first
families. Laramie was the next me
tropolis and then Benton, in the center
of an alkali desert covering at least 2,000
square miles. Far as the eye could see
around the town there was not a green
tree, shrab or spear of grass. The
streets, eight inches deep in white dust,
were thronged with motley crowds of
railroaders, Mexicans and Indians,
gamblers, ‘‘gappers,”’ merchants, min
ers and mule whackers, and a new
comer from the east with black clothes
looked like nothing so much as a cock
roach struggling through a flour barrel.
Going to Extremes.
One day there were ive serious fights,
ending in a most atrocious murder. The
road passed on, and every house was
moved with it successively to Rawlins
Springs, Green River City, Bryan and
Bear River, which last “‘city’’ closed
the chapter with a regular carnival .of
crime and a pitched battle between vlg
jlantes and roughs, in which 12 men
were killed and 20 wounded. I was ten
days at Wasatch, on the summit of the
mountains, in January, 1869, and the
mercury never once got up to 2zero.
During the three months of that termi
nus town's existence it sstablished a
graveyard with 43 occupants, of whom
not. one died of diseasa Seyeral were
killéd “by a cave in fhe railroad cut at
the head of Echo canyon; several more
got drunk and were frozen; three were
hanged; five were killed in street fights.
One *“‘girl’’ stifled herself with charcoal
fumes, and another inhaled sweet death
in chloroform. Over on the Central Pa
cific, in the western part of Bear river
valley, was a little temporary town
with such a bloody record that its bap
tismal name was ignored, and it was
generally called Deadfall. Other towns
over there were Murder Gulch, Last
Chance and Painted Post, while on the
Wyoming side of the range there were
outlying places familiarly known as
Robbers’ Roost, Devil’s Den and Shoot
ersville. «~And this commonwealth was
the first in the world to establish wom
an suffrage! I must confess that no ex
perience of mine here has been more
pleasant than this of listening to Sena
tor Clark and his friends telling how
wonderfully that region has come out.
Surely ths pioneers deserve well and
may truly say of their bracing climate:
Man is the moblest growth our plains supply,
And souls ave ripened 'neath our azure sky.
J. H. BEADLE.
Fight Between Bull and Alligator.
I heard an interesting story of a fight
between an alligator and a big bull on
the shores of Lake Okeechobee. Alliga
tors are quite numerous in that lake, and
it is little visited by white men, though
Seminole Indians fish and hunt there.
Herds of cattle roam about through that
section of the state, and the bull in
question belonged to one of these herds.
It was drinking at a small inlet on this
lake when its nose was caught by an al
ligator. The bull managed to free itself
by pulling the ’gator partly out of the
water. It then lowered its horns and
caught the ’gator, throwing it on the
bank. When the bull made another at
tack, the alligator struck the bull with
its tail and severely hurt it. The bull
managed to tear a hole in the abdomen
or soft spot of the ’gator, but on anoth
er charge the ’gator broke one of the
legs of the bull by a blow from its tail.
This disabled the bull, and the ’gator
managed to break another leg in the
same way, but the saurian soon bled to
death, and the bull, when found with
its two broken legs, had to be shot.—
Florida Letter.
Some Explanations of the Ocean’s Salt.
The Pythagoreans held that the sea
was salt by reason of the tears shed by
Kronos, father of Zeus. According to
the old Hebraic tradition, the ocean was
originally a great body of fresh water,
but which was made salt by the abun
dant tearsof the failen angels. One sect
of Buddhists believe that Lot’s wife—
that is to say, the ‘‘pillar of salt”
which was once the wife of the humble
gentleman named above—lies at the
bottom of the ocean in a certain narrow
strait, and that once each year the wa
ters of all oceans flow through that nar
row channel. The Talmudic writers say
that it was never salt until Moses wept
repentance after breaking the tables of
stone. —St. Louis Republic.
Votes Not Worth Having.
Some people’s notions of Hodge’s
ideas of politics are illustrated by the
soliloquy of a laborer on his way to the
poll: ‘‘Yes, yes, Gladstone was a great
man, but I main think he was too cute
for us poor folk. When wotes was worth
a fi’pun note, he kep un all to hisself,
and now, when they ain’t wuth a far
den, we all has un! Ab, he was main
too clever for us!”’ So he marchesin and
votes for the squire.—London Star.
Avoided the Subject.
Winks—Did McKick have much to
pay on the subject of railroad monopoly
while you were there?
Minks—Well, no. You see, just after
I called, a cartman drove up with a box
for him. The railroad freight on it for
100 miles was a quarter; the cartmaun’s
charge for hauling it six blocks was 50
cents.—New York Weekly.
