Ex Sheriff Gordon Finds Land of Promise in Wyoming
Ex Sheriff C D Gordon formerly of this city writes from Medicine Bow Wyoming on April 23 1908 about gravitating west to a promised land. He farms wheat oats barley beets potatoes and garden crops while promising Illinois readers a future settlement and a favorable climate health and wealth potential. The article notes the Carbon County Land Irrigation Company plans to reclaim 10000 acres near Medicine Bow with reservoirs canals a large water system from Muddy Creek. Cheyenne leaders including M H Hartung and Albert Bartlett back the project which targets Carey Act settlement. Gordon drives a 1047 foot outlet tunnel for a 12000 acre reservoir and expects lands to fetch 100 to 200 dollars per acre as a thriving stock country near coal towns. The piece portrays Wyoming as an emerging growth region inviting earlier settlers to secure opportunities.
