They also visited George Nicholson and family, formerly of Jasper county, near Burling, and also saw Frank Nicholson. The Michaels family, also took an automobile tour along the Gray Bull river for a distance of about 100 miles and at one stage of their journey were 8,000 feet above sea level. The party also visited at Bason. Wyo., where they saw some of the finest farming land in the world, where alfalfa was raised and the land is irrigated. Mr. Michaels says that any farmer visiting at this place can hardly resist the temptation to stay there, as the lands are very fertile and the crops are wonderful. While at Bason the county fair Was in progress and the broncho busters were there, among them Sam Scoville, the greatest rider in the world, This show was the same as was given in Chicago recently.
