tees Held Last Evening.
Advertising Cheyenne in lis Weekly
Papers Throughout Michigan.
Harvest Excursion Business Col
lege-- Smelter, c.--Sfatehood.


Eight OF the nine trustees of the Board
Trade attended a special meeting held last
night. The absentee was out of town.
Subjects of burning importance to the
city and territory were discussed with an
earnt stness which augurs well for the sue
cess ofthe projects under consideration aud
for the welfare of the whole community.
There has been a sort of awakening in
Board of Trade ranks during the past
fifteen drys, and the body is exhibiting
commendable and effective activity.
TO COVER MICHIGAN.
Secretary jeffrey was authorized TO
close with a Chicago agency for an adver-
tisement of Cheyenne in lis of the best
weekly papers published in Michigan.
being a list which covers that big state.
Many Wolverines are looking Wyoming
ward with steady gaze. This is especially
true of those in the lumber, copper and
iron interests. The advertisement will be
a small but attractive notice to run three
months and to cost but $34. so. This
is but a feeler and if the returns are sat
isfactory further investment will follow.
HARVEST EXCURSIONS.
Except Cheyenne every Western city
of prominence is extending a general in
vitation to harvest excursionists to call
May 20 and be entertained. The roads
make a single rate for the round trip from
as far east as Chicago. Why Cheyenne
is ignored in this connection seems to be
an impenetrable mystry, but the Board
Of Trade will attempt its solution and
will move immediately. Salt Like is
flooding the East with harvest excursion
matter and if Cheyenne IS barrel an ap-
peal will be made to the interstate com
meree commission.
The rate can doubtless be secured. In
quirits will go to-dly to Union Pacific
and Burlington headquarters and the re-
plies cannot but be acquiesence to these
just demands to be placed on a level
with other mountain towns Then the
Board and the Exchange will whoop il up
for The harvest excursion on May 20.
BUSINESS COLLEGE.
The president of Greeley's celebrated
business college wishes to establish a
branch OF his institution at this place and
asks the Board of Trade to guarantee a
certain number OF scholars. He init
mates in his letter hat the main school
might be moved here next year but says
he cannot leave Greeley at this time.
In its reply the Board will gently but
firmly inform the prof ssor that Cheyenne
would accept a smelter branch or an off
shoot of any big concern, but that things
are coming to a head too soon to warrant
expenditure of time, energy and perhaps
money for a chance to play second fiddle
to Greeley. Good inducements will be
offered for the location of the college
itself 10 Cheyenne and the town would
support it.
SHELTER
1t was decided to have the Board of
Trade smelter committee cooperate with
the similar subordinate body of the Real
Estate Exchange, and there will soon be a
joint meeting.
YORK IN HAND.
Mention of the late visit OF Mr.. Lee,
treasurer of The Investment Association
of New York, brought u general com
ment on the factory question. 1t is the
sense of the trustees that efforts to have a
smelter placed should be continuous and
untiriDg. Comparison of notes and I'M
earthing of facts developed that among
the industries to be early established are a
wooden mill, glass works, soap works and
tannery, besides two breweries. All these
matters are in capable hands, and it Is the
determination Of each committee to keep
the ball rolling.
STATEHOOD.
There was prepared at the meeting and
placed on the wire immediately after adj
tournament an important telegram TO Rep
resentatIve Carey. The delegate is in.
formed that excursions from Missouri,
Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas will be in
town Tuesday and that passage of the
statehood bill that day would be very
timely and would be appreciated by the
people of the capital.
