Hoosiers In Wyoming.

Burlington, Wyo.. May 13. Dear Editor: Having ’ived in the Big Horn Basin for some time I can highly recommend the country for its fine climate and abundant crops to any one that is thinking of locating in the west. Farmers are busy patting in their spring crops. We have had several nice rains and late snows, and grain is coming up fine without irrigating, which will save much time and labor for the farmers. All old friends from Indiana are doing weH. H. W. Iliff and daughter and son-in-l!aw, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Foster, have just returned irom Meeteetse where they own 420 acres of land. Mr. Iliff also owns a fine 240 acre ranch near Burlington and has just purchased a new 40-horse power Carter touring car which is a beauty and is considered the very best of mountain climbers. John Michael owns a 200 acre ranch and besides raising a lot of grain last year he raised four tons of parsnips and a hundred bushel of alfalfa seed, that sells at 15 cents per pound. ‘ Miss Alice McCullough formerly of Jordan tp„ who came here several mouths ago from Wall, So. Dak., after proving up on a homestead there, is so well pleased with the country and her health is so much improved that she has sent for her household go-jds and expects to make this her future home. She will move to Burlington this week and start a home bakery. Frank Nicholson is engaged in the' real estate business and has ju». closed a successful deal on a 240 acre farm. The country is on the boom as there is a fine prospect of a rattroad and a sugar beet •factory in the near future. AH that enjoy bright sunshine, pure mountain air and beautiful scenery should pay a visit to the Big Horn Batin. A HOOSIERITE.
