on. Changing the organic law Of

LARAMIE.

In its natural surroundings Laramie
City is suggestive of Denver. The land
on which it is located is more level but
the emo surroundings in the shape Of
mountain ridges make the resemblance
sufficiently strong to attract the notice of
the casual observer. Barring the altitude,
which is 200 feet greater than at Chey-
enne, Albany's county seat has several
very decided natural advantages. Its
water supply is not only extensive in
quantity but admirable as to quality.
Much fine agricultural land and admirably
stocked ranches lie contiguous to the
town. The surrounding sections are rich
in minerals and the raw material is already
being worked into various products. So
far as the attractiveness of the town is
concerned nature appears to have done
pretty nearly everything and the people
themselves very little. The architectural
growth of the city is comprised within
two years. Previous to that period even the
wealthiest were neither aspiring in their
tastes nordaring in their conception of what
constituted beautiful homes. Ordinary
square built, unattractive frame dwellings
g%ratifed their highest aspirations. In the
business quarter this is even now more
strictly true than it is in the residence
quarter. The most pretentious business
block i'll the city is that belonging to the
Holiday Furniture company, though the
building of the Trabing Commercial com-
pany covers more ground. Both would
be admirable business enterprises in any
city. The two bank buildings ARE the
most modern looking business houses in
the town. Both are very attractive in
their exterior and interior arrangements.
The erection OF the university building
has stirred up the artistic instinct OF the
town. Residences recently built show
decided concessions to the modern archi-
%tectural spirit which is not satisfied with
the crude designs that have long held
dreary carnival in the towns of the West.
There are not yet as many really fine resi-
dences in Laramie as there should be,
considering the pretensions of the place,
but among 4 dozen very handsome dwell
ings those of Mr.. Ora Haley and Col.
Donnellan attract conspicuous notice by
charming arrangement and elegant sur
roundings.
The municipal authorities have been
very backward in performing their duties.

The town depends for its chief water sup
ply upon what is known as City spring.
This furnishes an abundance of pure
water. As the spring is ON a higher ele-
walton than the town itself sufficient pres
sure Tor domestic and fire purposes is Sc
cured by simple g~ravitation. The water
as it flows from the spring is caught in a
reservoir formed by a little valley, with
the lower end guarded by rip-rapping Of
the most rudimentary character. When
the water succeeds in seeping through
this %riprapping, as it has a faculty of
doing, it soon makes away with the bull
wark and starts on its wild, unfettered
career. Only a few days ago something
of this sort occurred. Had a fire broken
out during this time nothing short of fuel
to feed on would have stayed it. A few
thousand dollars iudiciously spent now in
doing intelligent work at the reservoir would
effectually end this danger and with it a
source o. constant annoyance and irritation.
Very little street grading has been done
in the town, though very little is required.
The sidewalks are almost invariably in
poor condition. The streets are superbly
lighted by the Edison incandescent cleo
trio light.
The enterprising Laramie papers come
up smiling every day or every week as the
case may be and sing varied and seductive
songs about the "Pittsburg of the West
The people of Laramie have certainly
made a remarkably good start in theright
direction. The electric light plant while
not SO large by half as the Cheyenne in
stitutIon, is a perfect gem in all its de-
tails. The -four mill adioins it. 1t is a
nice looking three-story stone building
superbly fitted up with machinery of the
very latest patent. The motive power is
electricity. The rolling mill is said to
have a pay roll of $4,000 a month. Moth
ing said in praise of the glass works has
been unwarranted by the facts. Their es-
adjustment marks an era in the progress
of the territory. The works as they now
stand are an unqualified success, but they
simply serve as an indication of the vast
ness which the business must ultimately
assume. The soda plant is remote from
town and was not visited. A big shed of
a building was pointed out as the %tannery.
The wind was blowing in the right direc-
ton and left no lingering doubts regard
ing the accuracy of the information.
Building is being chiefly done in the
neighborhood Of the glass works, where
residences are in active demand.
After a prolonged and thoughtful study
of the Laramie papers the writer had been
forced to the conclusion that the national
wealth was being rapidly concentrated in
the city over the hill. A days visit dis
abused our mind of this idea. Even in
fortune is tickle and wealth elu-
sive. The sight of a two-dollar bill
brings a broad smile to the face of the
tradesman there as elsewhere. AS a mat
ter of fact a good deal of business is being
done, but money is scarce and it is hard
to make collections. in which respect the
is not unique in the territory.
