GLAD ALL YOUR LIFE LONG. Listen. Years
ago, before the days of civilization, an old French
hunter and trapper hunted and fished and trapped
along two western rivers then nameless. "Lara
mie" was his name. So, long after, " Laramie' ' be
came the name of those rivers. One was called the
"Big Laramie," the other the "Little Laramie,"
though curiously enough whoever named them,
mixed those rivers up, for the little one is the big
one, and neither one is little, but both are big. They
run bank full filled with the melting snow of the
nearby picturesque mountains that have heretofore
wasted their 'wealth of waters into the sea. Now,
wealth is to take the place of waste; those rivers
are to be TURNED INTO STREAMS OF GOLD and
are to produce a revenue vast and incomputable;
reservoirs are being built, ditches are being filled
to irrigate the crops that are to make thousands
of happy and prosperous homes. One of these great
reservoirs is finished and will irrigate 135,000 acres ;
one of the ditches is built and is forty feet wide on
the bottom; $800,000 has been invested, and five
steam shovels were usejd to do the work ; $2,000,000
will yet be expended ; it is ONE OF THE LARGEST
enterprises now under way and will be all in readi
ness for the crop season of 1912.
"We are selling the land between these two paral
leling rivers ; land that is level and fertile and
beautiful; land at $12.50 to $25.00 an acre, worth
double the price selling on easy terms. "We sell
'the land without the water and you can buy. the
water at $25 an acre, if you wish, and pay for it in
from ten to twenty years.
Irrigation is simply putting water on your crops
when you need it and leaving it off when you don't;
just the difference between success and failure ; be
tween good crops and poor ones ; between HAVING

MONEY IN THE IBANK and of seeing a note come

"Little drops of water on the grains of sand,
Makes a mighty difference in the price of land. ' '
Our lands are near Laramie, a city of 8,500 people,
located on the main line of the Union Pacific, with
its State University, its Agricultural College, its
churches, its flouring mill, manufactories and banks,
its contented, comfortable and intelligent citizens.
Straight away from Laramie runs the Hahn's Peak
railroad right through our lands.
Remember The last crop of cheap land in the
United States is now being harvested'. With the
population of our country rapidly increasing, and '
the cultivatable area constantly diminishing,
THERE ISTHERE CAN BE, but one result
higher prices for land. Think of the fortunes that
have been made in buying land cheap and waiting,
waiting patiently, serenely, with an abiding faith,
for the raise. It has never failed to come; and it
will come quickly to our Laramie lands just two
years of waiting. The cornerstone of the nation's
wealth, and the very foundation of all individual
wealth is land, bountiful land always was and ever
will be, and IT IS SAFE. Ours is an especially ap
pealing proposition ; not alone for the fertility of its
soil and its abundant waters, but it is nearby only
a day from the Missouri River..
And think of this: Nowhere do potatoes
grow so big and white, so luscious and -luxuriant
$100 an acre often being received from that source ;
nowhere is the yield of oats so great (137 bushels
to the acre sometimes being harvested ; nowhere can
$90 an acre be realized for alfalfa, so fine and bright
and nutritious ; nowhere do fiefd peas grow so boun
tifully. Climatic conditions are ideal. The skies
are clear, the air is balmy, the summers are cool
and the winters are not cold.
