results. To the man of small means who desires to secure 

 a home of his own, the Huntley project offers a most in- 

 viting opportunity at the present time. 



Sun River Project, Montana. 



Located in the northern part of the state, near the 

 rapidly growing city of Great Falls, the Sun River project 

 is attracting a very high class of people who are making 

 a garden in the desert. To the man who is accustomed 

 to the vigorous climate of New England, or of Minne- 

 sota and Wisconsin, this section is peculiarly attractive. 

 The lands are covered with bunch grass and blue-joint, 

 furnishing excellent grazing. There is no sage brush to 

 clear and but little leveling to do to prepare land for 

 irrigation. The farms are 80 acres each of irrigable land, 

 and in addition each homesteader may secure another 80 

 acres of unirrigated land without charge. Considering 

 the low price of water-right, only $30 per acre payable 

 in ten years without interest, this may be regarded as an 

 exceptional chance to secure a home in a section which is 

 rapidly growing. 



Lower Yellowstone Project, Montana-North Dakota. 



In the lower valley of the Yellowstone, in Montana 

 and North Dakota, are 66,000 acres of choice land em- 

 braced in a Government project. While all of the land 

 has been filed upon, there are opportunities of purchasing 

 from present owners, many of whose holdings are in ex- 

 cess of the limit of 160 acres prescribed by law. These 

 lands are held at such reasonable prices that settlers who 

 desire to locate there, and who have exhausted their home- 



stead rights, can secure sufficient acreage to establish a 

 home. A new railroad is being built down the valley 

 which will afford first-class transportation facilities for 

 crops. Bountiful crops were the rule this year. 



Detailed information regarding these projects and 

 others which have been completed or are being con- 

 structed will be supplied upon application to the Statisti- 

 cian, U. S. Reclamation Service, Washington, D. C. The 

 very large number of inquiries which are being received 

 indicate a wide-spread interest on the part of the public. 

 As the opportunities on these projects for homeseekers 

 are not unlimited, it is probable that ere another year has 

 passed all the lands described above will be taken up.

possesses the greatest hot springs in the world, including 

 those of the Yellowstone National Park, Thermopolis, 

 there are experts in land and legal matters who are avail- 

 able for answering questions on the homestead laws, and 

 the methods of acquiring title under them. Lectures are 

 also being delivered at various state and county fairs and 

 Saratoga, Alcova, and many others. The springs at Ther- 

 mopolis in the northwestern part of the state are perhaps 

 the most remarkable in the world. Sulphur, asbestos and 

 plumbago are being mined, and the districts where these 

 minerals are found would be fully developed at this time 

 if transportation facilities had been furnished at an earlier 

 date. 



Information relative to the various resources of the 

 state, together with the opportunities for investment will 

 be furnished those who make inquiry to the Wyoming 

 State Immigration Commission, Cheyenne, Wyoming.
