County commissioner B C Boyer reports Wheatland is in better condition than ever due to a bountiful wheat yield per acre and larger grain. He credits the new Laramie reservoir for the water supply that supported the harvest, while his mill runs nonstop to meet demand. He notes profits favored farmers with eighty acres over those with 160, and fourteen buyers added 1400 acres last week.
A Wyoming land case clarifies that a reservoir declaratory statement does not withdraw land from entry. Dr. H L Stevens filed a November 1900 homestead on land later associated with Kate Mahoney’s reservoir claim. Commissioner Hermann sustained Stevens' appeal, overriding earlier rejection and aligning with the 1901 circular allowing continued entry subject to reservoir conditions. The ruling confirms Stevens’ priority and explains the evolving policy on reservoir declarations and land entries.
The Angora goat industry gains momentum across the western states as stockmen seek new revenue as cattle and sheep profits wane. Since 1849 introduced by Dr. James B.

Experts note Arizona’s highland climates resemble Angora Turkey conditions, supporting strong flesh and fleece growth.
