Extent of the Construction Mapped
Out For This Year.
What the Company Demanded and
It's Concessions to the City.
The Agreement Ratified Unani-
mousIy by the Board of Trade.

For several weeks past intangible rum
ors have foated about the city to the eff
feet that something very good was in
store for Cheyenne. All of these umo
were indefinite in character, except that
they referred to the location of the Union
Pacific shops here. Very few people had
any definite information upon which to
base calculations, but somehow the pre-
vailing business tone of the community
wonderfully improved.
About I o'clock last evening members
of the board of trade received the follow
ing notification, which threw considerable
vitality into the flying rumors:
You are hereby notified that a special
meeting of the Cheyenne beard of trade
will be held this Saturday eve at 7 O'Clock
at the city hall.
All members are earnestly requested to
attend. Important business. Railroad
shops. Respectfully,
f. Z. WARREN, Prest.
Shortly after the hour named the coun-
Gil chamber at the city hall was filed with
a crowd of citizens for whom it was i'm
possible to secure all the necessary seating
accommodations. Among those present
were ex-Governor Warren, A. ID. Kelley,
@. N. Potter, DR.. Hunt, Geo. w. Baxter,
Fred s. Hebard, Willis VanDevanter.

As the call for the meeting had desig-
mated the subject for consideration was
the shop matter. Some time ago the
board of trade appointed the president
and such other persons as he might select
to go to Omaha and Boston and use every
endeavor to secure the location of the
shops here. In pursuance OF these in
structions he had in his possession an
agreement which the company was willing
to enter into and which lie would submit
for consideration to the meeting. The
matter had been under close consideration
for eight weeks. The interests Of the
city, he believed, had been carefully looked
after.
At this stage of the proceedings the
following agreement was read by Secre-
tary Stable:
