Cody has been selected as president of a syndicate of capital ists who will construct some gigan tic irrigation enterprises in the Shoshone basin in northwestern Wyoming.

This case was tried Tuesday at Chappell. Ogalalla. Senator Akers and Representa tive Harris have been confronted during the past few days with dozens of petitions from their con stituents demanding the repeal of section 2034 of the irrigation bill. Not only have these, petitions been sent, but resolutions passed at public meetings as well. Men who were instrumental in the nomina tion and election of Messrs. Akers and Harris have filed strong pro tests against the passage of the measure without repealing or mod ifying section 2034. In the lace of these petitions, ""(.resolutions and protests, will Akers and Harris defiantly disregard therdemands of the people of 'their1 respective dis tricts, and vote the bill as it stands? If they do, their reception when they return home will be any thing but pleasant to them and they ever af terwards will be pointed out as men who betrayed their constituents.

Persons calling for above will please say "advertised.' M. W. Claib, Postmaster A REPLY. Ed. Triijuxe: Allow me a brief space in your paper to reply to a communication in your last issue, signed "Old Soldier." 1st. If "Old Soldier" will study his dictionary he will find quite a difference in the meaning of the words "part" and "member." We do not claim to be members of the G. A. R.; but as our membership is limited to moth crs, wives and daughters of honora bly discharged soldiers and sailors who served during the rebellion, by that glorious heritage of birth or marriage, we arc a part of the G A. R., and were so recognized by the department convention of the G. A. R. held at Hastings last month. 2d. Would "Old Soldier" have his ! readers infer that he would ignore "nearest and dearest?" But no matter how he may feel toward us, we have for all old comrades only a feeling of "Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty." 3d. We de not ask to be auxilary to the G. A. R., as we feel it is more honor to be part of that grand or ganization. A Member of S. A. Douglas Cir cle No. 20. FOR SALE OR TRADE.
