From this, it is seen that the new
property to be put into this county will
alone pay for the interest on the bonds.
Hence, SO far as taxation is concerned,
there will be no burden on the people
of Laramie county. On the contrary;
with the building of the road, and the
influx of population, and the resultant
increase in business, the value of prop
erty will appreciate wonderfully. As
the county expenses will not have been
lowered to raise the same amount of
money that is now required. Let us
Illustrate III idea: Suppose A owns a
piece of property worth S10, 1000; at %
mills levy he pays 1920. After the
road shall have started, his property
appreciates to the value of S15, 900.
To raise 1920 his property will then be
taxed a fraction less than 10 mills; be-
ing a saving of over seven mills on the
dollar.
To resume the interview: Mr.. Law

with all possible dispatch. 1t is the
intention to build enough this year to
control the Black Hills trade. Next
season the road will be extended right
into Deadwood, as the counties in the
Hills are favorably disposed to vote
bonds, although no proposition has
been submitted to them; the offer to
vote bonds comes free and voluntary.
At the same time, the main stem of the
road will be continued toward and into
Montana. Just where the fork of the
road will occur, the surveys must de-
termine.
OF the Omaha, Niobrara and Black
Hills road, and the Utah and Northern
road it, may be said that they will not
nor cannot interfere with the branch
from Cheyenne. The former will cost
too much to justify its completion to
the Hills, and ut any rate 1t is self sup
porting because of the rich agricultural
region it traverses to and from the Nj
obrara. So u people need have no
fears of opposing interests preventing
the completion of the Wyoming road.
The Utah and Northern, running from
Ogden, is a narrow gauge, and hence
is unsuited for the purpose of making a
through line from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The Wyoming road to be of
standard GAUGE, will in time constitute
part Of a through line, reaching from
Cheyenne to the Columbia river, in
Oregon. Cheyenne will then become
a great railroad center, with cosnec-
tions at the four cardinal points of the
compass.
On the whole, we fail to see why any
objection should be urged against the
giving of the bonds. The election will
occur on the Goth inst, and, while we
have no doubt as to a favorable result,
we should be panied, to see any extern
sive opposition. That there will be
some unfavorable votes, is not to be
disbelieved, no more than the fact that
the bonds will be awarded 1t would
be only unnatural If some opposition
were not developed. But whether it is
well based, is quite another question.
To review: We find that enough of
the road will be built this year to Sc
cure, control and retain, the Black Hills
traffic. There will be enough new

On and after the 18th day of Novem-
ber, 1879, until further notice, We will
grind wheat for Oae-tel,th toll instead of
One-eighth. Wewill grind nine bushels
and take the tenth, instead of
grinding seven bushels and TAX
ing the eighth for toll, thus you save
about two pounds of wheat ON every
bushel by carrying your grain to the
Water Mill. Do not be afraid of a
crowd. We can grind Is bushels an
hour, equal to 36O bushels In day and
night, and we never have this much on
any single day to grind.
Our Mill Is In fine repair, and We are
prepared To grind by water or steam.
So do not be afraid of high or low
water, but come with the assurance of
getting your grinding done on time to
return home the same day. We have
secured the services of first class mil
Ter for grinding corn, and have ample
room for all that may come to see Us.
We win pay 81 10 per bushei for No.
