Rapid D ■-velopnient of Hu* Ciittla Trad* In the: Territory Mr. 'William H. Force, the vke-pTosiilent and general manager of the Post Peroherou Horse association of Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, has personal sujiervision of the large horse ranch largely owned by Arhackle Brothers, Thurber, Whyland & Co., •nd other capitalists of New York city, '{his ranch is one hundred miles in circumference and has on it over live thousand head of the new breed of horses to the raising of which this association is exclusively dejoted. ‘ “The western horse,” said Mr. Force, 4 'has the hardest foot in the world. It has •also a graceful nock and handsome heal. We aim to breed os perfect a horse as can be found by uniting these qualities with the big bones and powerful muscles of the Perchen.ni stock. The result of the inbreeding has resulted thus far in producing a horse fully as powerful as the Percheron or French coach horse, and one much more graceful. Wyoming claims at present eighty thousand population, and the general feeling is in favor of being admitted as a atate. Cheyenne alone has a population of over ten thousand, and is progressing rapidly. The development of the material interests of the Territory has been some what checked by the severe winters which have prevailed there for the past three or four years. The wealth of the Territory, however, has been largely invested in cattle, which is always affected by the temperature, .Sow the ‘"coal, iron, and off resources are being developed, and through these the wealth of the Territory rusts upon a more certain basis. A large number of Swede nnd tierman settlers from eastern Nebraska have recently moved into Wyoming and are rapidly putting large tracts of wash) land under cultivation.
