The secretary of the state executive councjl notified the county auditors, as required ty law, that no nomi nation had been made., No convention was called, but the county committees met and nominated Pratt and asked that his name be placed on "the ballot. Tho secretary of state refused to do so, on the ground that tho law had not been complied with. The court today decided that 'the proper pro cedure was for the secretary of state t3 place the name on the ballots and only In case of protest could the matter go before the Elections board. Hoettarer Mar Remain on Ticket. The election muddle in Scott county has not yet been cleared. Henry Bocttger sought to withdraw and the secretary of state decided that he cannot withdraw from the ticket at this time. The Intention was to substitute another candidate.

(Special.)-ln northern Wyoming, seventy-five miles east of the Yellowstone National park, 300 farms, varying In size from forty to 160 acres, have recently been thrown open to entry and settlement under the reclamation act. This tract of about 15,000 acrs consti tutes what Is known us the first unit of the Shoshone Irrigation project. The farms are obtainable under the homestead law, subject to the charge of actual cost of supplying water to the land. This charge has been fixed at J45 per acre, payable In not less than five nor more than ten annual Installments. In addition to this the settler Is required to pay an an nual fee for maintenance and operation of II per acre, The that Installment of 15.60 per acre Is due and payable at the time ap. plication la made for water right for any farm unit. The second Installment will be due on or before December i, 1939, thus giving early settlers an opportunity of se curing a crop before the second payment becomes due. The elevation Is about 4.400 feet above sea level, and the temperature seldom goes above 93 dog rets In summe;- or below sero during the winter months. The valley Is sheltered by mountain ranges on every side, and no blizzards, cyclones or other severe storms ever occur there. The crops that can be grown on the Shoshone project are those common to the temperate zone. Alfalfa, wheat, oats, bar ley, timothy, potatoes, sugar beets, and all other crops produced In the states of the Mississippi valley of the same latitude are grown here. Wheat of excellent quality averages forty bushels to the acre, oats average fifty-five to sixty bushels, am' potatoes yield 250 to 300 bushels per acre Sugar beeta contain a large percentage o'. saccharine matter, and a beet sugar fac tory Is projected for this project as soon as the acreage settled is large enough to warrant It. At present the . beets are shipped to the factory at Billings, Mont. Hardy varieties of apples, pears, pUims, cherries, and small frulta may be success fully grown. Large numbers of cattle and sheep graze on the lands surrounding the project, and there will always be a home market for hay. The settlers from the Mis sissippi valley, who took up farms this spring, have been uniformly successful, having harvesUd good crops on the new land.
