MORE ANNEXATION.
Why Wyoming should BE Divided
Gp-Some Suggestions.

To the Editor Of the Leader:
l have been an interested reader of
the several communications which have
appeared in the LEADER on the subject
Of annexing a portion OF Wyoming to
the state of Colorado. / am much Of
the opinion of San Older Timer.''
whose letter appeared 10 your paper OF
yesterday. 1 believe that if annexation
is a good thing for Laramie county it is
certainly a good thing for the other four
counties to the west of us. There seems
to be no question in my mind as to the
identity of interests between Colorado
and southern Wyoming. In the east
ern portion of our territory we are
directly connected with Denver and
smaller towns by rail. We do business
with people there, buy their vegetables
and flour, etc. Then we are connected
with Colorado to some extent ON ac-
count of the North Park mines. 1t is
capital and men from Wyoming who
have made the discoveries in that re-
gion. In time we may have closer
relation with the Park If the mines
prove to be good. On the west, Colo
RADIO finds its only outlet to the civilized
world to be through Wyoming, owe the
Union Pacific railroad In fact, which,
ever way you look at it, our interests
are merged into those Of Colorado.
E Now, Mr.. Editor, since we cannot
hope, for years to come, to erect our
selves into a commonwealth in this
grand sisterhood of states, and place a
star in the field Of blue on sour starry
banner" we can do the next best thing
and become a part of a grand state,
and become at least one of the points Of
the thirty-eighth star in the nations
flag. We have everything politically tc
gain by such a condition of things; We
have everything to gain commercially
and certainly we have nothing to lose
socially.
The suggestion made by San Older
Timer" to consolidate all Of Wyoming
south of the forty-second parallel t.
Colorado, l think a good one. At pres
ent it represents the more valuable por
ton of the territory, and it is the mors
populous. The region described is |
strip about seventy miles wide ant
would take in all of the Union Pacif,
railway, making the northern bounda
ry of Colorado on the anne parallel al
the northern boundary of Utah.
AS for the rest of the territory, i
were a simple matter for congress Il
divide it up between the territories o
Idaho and Montana. By this mean
one territory would be done away with
which would prove a ourcc Of econo
my. Then there would be one stat
less for the future, which fact would b
