Excerpt: ...Wood River is the most important, it drains an area of over 1,000 square miles, including a region containing the highest mountain ranges within the State, upon whose summits and heavily timbered slopes the melting snow, which never entirely disappears, furnishes a perpetual supply of running water of considerable volume. The fall of the river, through the mountains, is very great, in many places exceeding one hundred feet to the mile, until near its junction with Piney Creek, where it leaves the canon, and from this point the descent will average about fifty feet to the mile for the next fifty miles. At the mouth of Piney Creek is the first settlement on Grey Bull. Here the valley is perhaps one-half a mile wide and broadens out gradually until Fenton is passed, where the water is carried in irrigation ditches on either side over a valley twenty miles in width. On no large stream in Wyoming have the waters been more thoroughly utilized or the irrigated area so largely cultivated as here. The banks of the river are not high, and its rapid fall has enabled the irrigator to turn water upon the land at little cost. A recent survey shows 360 miles of ditches and canals constructed and in use--with many more in course of construction--furnishing water for 35,000 acres of land, a greater part of which is cultivated. The water supply of the ordinary season is fully appropriated, and the problem is no longer to find settlers for vacant, irrigable lands, but to provide water for those who have settled upon the land without an adequate supply, as well as an amount to irrigate as much as may be of the many thousand acres contiguous--the best in the State--for which there is no supply. The Grey Bull, during the spring and early summer months, ..

The luxurious growth of the native blue-stem grass, along this stream and its tributaries, coupled with the abundance of water, led to its early occupation by the stock raisers, who for a time had undisputed possession of the country. A half dozen cabins scattered at wide intervals served as headquarters for the cattle companies, and were the only improvements, while the nomadic and proverbially improvident "cow-boy" was the only inhabitant of this agricultural paradise. Later it was discovered that the rich sandy loam bordering these streams offered most exceptional inducements to irrigators, and it was not long until the homes and improvements of permanent settlers filled the intervals between the widely scattered cabins of the stockmen, and the cattle trails gave place to county roads. Now the valleys along this stream support a population of about 600 prosperous and contented permanent residents; nomadic herds have given place to the stock of ranchmen and tillers of the soil. Agriculture is successfully combined with stock-raising, and the results attained by this community, remote from both transportation and markets, establish beyond question the value and adaptability of this form of agriculture in this State. The mountain ranges on the east provide lasting summer pasturage; while the irrigable valleys produce an abundance of forage for feeding through the mild winters. The arable land along these streams is comprised within narrow valleys, there being no large areas lying in one body suitable for colonization. All kinds of small grain are grown with remarkable success. Fields of corn were seen fully equal to that grown in the states east of...
