THERE IS PLENTY OF WATER
IN THE
Big Horn Basin and Yellowstone Valley
All of the rivers and Irrigation canals are now running bank full.
The writer has just returned from an extended inspection trip thru
the Big Horn Basin and Yellowstone Valley, where he found that the
farmers have all the water they can use for irrigation; crops are accord
ingly very fine.
pPPORTUNITY FOR INVESTMENT. Money invested in Government ir
rigated lands, Carey Act lands, or deeded lands in the Big Horn Bas
in, at present prices, is sure to bring large returns for the reason
that the farmers of this country are beginning to understand that
the Basin and Yellowstone Valley have an ample water supply and
that the water comes down from the mountains Just at the time when
it is needed for irrigation.

A warning against the dangers of!
dust was issued in n statement made I
today by the Natinnnl Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu
berculosis, In which II Is shown Hint
the percentage of deaths caused by
tuberculosis In dusty trades Is more
than double that for nil employed
men in the reulst t at ion area of the
I'nited States.
As a result of the dangers from
consumption to those exposed to var
ious forms of dtiPt, and at the re
quest of the National Association,
he I'nited States government lias
recently appointed n commission to
work in co-operation with state auth
orities in making an Investigation In
to the conditions of the metal mining
Industries in the United States, with
special reference to diseases of the
lungs. The work of the commission
engaged In this special task will fol
low lines somewhat similar to those
worked out by the Royal Commission
of Australia, whos ereport was re
ceived In this country.
'Dusts are of three kinds," says
the National Association; "factory.
street und house dusts." The state
ment refers to the results obtained
through investigations mnde for the
Hureau of Labor, by Frederick L.
Hoffman While among males gen
erally In the registration area of the
United States 14.5 per cent of all
deaths are from consumption, the
mortality among grinders from this
disease is 49.2 per cent, and in hard
ly any of the dusty trades is it be
low 25 per cent. The percentage of
deaths from tuberculosis among all
those exposed to metallic dust is
36.9 per cent; to mineral dust, 28.6
per cent; to vegetable fiber dust,
28.8 per cent ; to mixed animal and
other forms of dust, 32.1 per cent;
to street dust, 25.5 per cent; and to
organic, or duts coming from the arti
cles being manufactured, 23 per
cent.
The statement speaks also of the
dangerB of house dust, especially In
rooms that are not well ventilated.
The Association warns against dry
sweeping, and against the use of the
feather duster, or other devises that
scatter, but do not take up the dust.
Since the ordinary dust blown in
the streets Is Impregnated with dis
ease germs, the National Association
urges the adoption of methods that
will prevent the further dissemina
tion of such baccilll. It also urges
for the coming months of fall ami
winter, more open windows and more
fresh air in house, shop and schoolroom.

Scottsbluff delegates. E. Von Ferell
of Kunston wns choseb chairman of
the meeting and O, L. Shumway,

An estimate of expenses was mnde

something like $2,000 to property ex
hlblt the product of the valley at the

This Included an Hem of $500 for ad
vertising. An apportionment of the
expense wns made to the various
