Of Interest to Irrigators.

Mr. Richard J. Hinton, of New York, arrived in Douglas on Thurs-

day and on the some day went out with Mr. James Brockway to

that gentleman’s ranch under the Fetterman canal. Mr. Hinton

is undoubtedly the greatest living expert on the subject of irriga-

tion and the reclamation of arid lands, and the purpose of his

visit was to form an opinion as to the amount of arable land

along the Platte River in the vicinity of Douglas, and more partic-

ularly under the Fetterman canal. After a day spent in going over

the work already done on the enterprise, of which all Douglas

people are justly proud, Mr. Hinton met, at the opera house,

those of us who were willing to brave the storm, and spoke for

three quarters of an hour on the subjects of “Irrigation” and

“The Reclamation of the Arid West.” His audience was interest-

ed from the beginning. With a small array of figures and many

facts the speaker proved his assertion that Wyoming was in eve-

ry way the most favored state in the arid region, and surely des-

tined to be a great and prosperous community as soon as the

waters now running to waste are utilized on the many thou-

sands of acres lying along our water-courses. Mr. Hinton was for

many years a resident of California and editor of a newspaper

there. He has seen Utah develop from a desert into a garden

and knew Colorado when valleys of the Cache la Poudre and Big

Thompson were cattle ranges covered with but scant herbage.

He compares Wyoming with all these, and confidently asserts

that our state is in time certain to surpass then all in wealth and

population. As an example of what could be done with arid land,

the speaker cited the case of an old army veteran who had gone

to California after the war and had been induced to invest some

money in twenty seven acres of desert land near San Bernardi-

no, valued at one dollar and ten cents an acre. After a few years

he appeared before the county board of equalization and asked

that the valuation be reduced to seventy cents an acre, honestly

swearing that the land was worth no more. Then dawned the

period of irrigation enterprises in that section; the land was

offered for two dollars and a half an acre with no takers; but the

faith of the owner increased and his price did the same, until

finally a big canal was taken out above his land and he sold the

whole tract of twenty-seven acres to an Englishman for twenty-

six hundred dollars an acre. The once desert land now bears a

flourishing orange grove and is the source of a net income of

seven hundred dollars and acre per annum. Many such exam-

ples were given from actual knowledge, and in every sentence a

glowing picture of the future of the arid region under irrigation

was brought before his listeners. In the course of his speech he

stated that Wyoming had the best water laws in the United

States, and the best state engineer on the face of the earth. Mr.

Hinton was very favorably impressed with the work on the

Fetterman canal and the amount of land to be reclaimed by it,

and his visit will doubtless be of great benefit to our community,

as his opinion is valued wherever it is heard. After listening to

the gentleman all left with a desire to meet and hear him again,

and quite content with their lot as citizens of so favored a region

as the Platte Valley must soon become.

U.P. BANDIT IS CAPTURED

(Continued from last week)

Rawlins, Wyo. April 22. - (the bandit talk-

ing about Dudley, the guard on the train)

…”what ever happened I wouldn’t shoot

him. He’s a good scout, too. He was a

mighty good loser when I had the drop on

him and I hope that I can be as good a

loser as he was. After the Green River

hold-up, I swam the river and spent two

nights and days in the hills. Then I went

back to Green river and bought a ticket to

Laramie. I got off at Rawlins and all the

people were talking about the hold-up.

Why, say I was in a chair in a barbershop

there when some of the fellows were talk-

ing about the hold-up. It made me smile

to hear them say what they would do if

they had been on the train. Some of them

thought the bandit must have been an

awful rough guy. It was good sport listen-

ing to them. From Rawlins I went to

Laramie and then to Denver. I went from

Denver to Cheyenne and then pulled the

robbery of the Overland. After that rob-

bery I walked to Casper through Chug-

water and Wheatland. From Casper I went

to Greeley, Colo., and waited a while be-

fore making another try. I had the thing a

figured out. I know that country around

Hanna and Rawlins like a book. I had a

route mapped out from Hanna to Casper,

from Walcott to Casper and from Rawlins

to Casper. If I couldn’t get off at Hanna or

Walcott, I intended to stay on the train

until it reached the yards in Rawlins and

then make my break. The guard delayed

me a little in getting started so I couldn’t

get off at Hanna. I was getting kind of

nervous then and when we came to the

curve where I jumped, I thought we were

at the curve near Walcott. That was the

mistake that caused the capture. I walked

around back and forth trying to get the lay

of the land and I took off my shoes be-

cause I thought they might put some

Scotch collies on my trail and I knew I

could throw them off the scent that way.

Sheriff Rivera did some mighty good trail-

ing I think. He followed me all last night,

picking out my steps through the brush. If

that other guy hadn’t stumbled across my

hiding place, I would have made my geta-

way tonight all right.” Carlisle had $311

and some pennies in his bag when he was

captured. All the questions that the depu-

ties and the road officials could fire at him

did not trap him into an admission of his

identity. It is believed here that Carlisle is

not his real name, though the letters “W.

L. C.” are tattooed on his left arm. (cont.

Judy O’Connor earned an MBA by going to all her son’s

classes to help him take notes. After a 2012 accident left

him a quadriplegic, Judy retired and went with him to

every class-so he made a secret request to the faculty,

and they gave her an honorary MBA when she pushed

him across the stage at graduation.

The word ‘she’ appears only once in the text of The Hob-

bit.

If you're highly anxious, you’re likely smarter than aver-

age. Scientists theorize that intelligence and worry co-

evolved in humans, and studies show people with high-

er IQ’s are more likely to have anxiety.

Actor Jack Black used to stash wires up his sleeves as a

child, because he hoped the other kids would notice

them poking out of his shirt and think he was a cyborg.

In Iceland, people bake their bread in the ground. Resi-

dents often use geothermal heat to bake bread by bury-

ing a pot of dough near a geyser and placing a stone on

top. This alerts locals that bread is underneath so it

won’t be disturbed while it sits for about a day.

Laser tattoo removal doesn’t actually ‘remove’ tattoos.

The process breaks down the ink particles so your white

1915 Leo Frank Lynching, He had been convicted of murdering 14-year-old Mary Phagan. Although sentenced to death, after review-ing the evidence the governor commuted his sentence to life in prison. Angered by the change in sentencing a mob kidnapped him from prison and lynched him. The lynch mob was said to in-clude prominent citizens, including former Georgia Governor Jo-seph Mackey Brown. Nobody was ever charged in the lynching. His conviction was based largely on the testimony of Jim Conley, but was overturned in 1986 after evidence surfaced implicating Conley. The general consensus by historians is that Conley was the murderer.
