of advance, from a home merchant as
compared with a merchant residing out
side of the territory, it is his duty as a
public spirited citizen, to give the former
the preference. Cheyenne is now about
to be brought into close business
relations with the central portion of the
territory through the construction OF the
Cheyenne & Northern railroad, and the
Glenroek editor points out clearly and
forcibly ,he means which should be
adopted to build up aud strengthen the
existing spirit Of commercial friendship.
If Cheyenne is always to maintain Its su-
premacy it goes without the saying that
it must reach out to capture territorial
trade. Its merchants should no longer

branches our wholesale trade has reached
magnificent proportions and it Is a no
uceable fact that those firms
which have laboriously built up
a wholesale trade 10 connection with
their retail business are the least affected
by local Expressions here AT nome, The
good will and trade Of the northern coun
Try should, however, impose an obliga
ton upon the merchants here to make n
special effort to dispose Of the produce Of
the people along the line Of the Chey-
enne 4 Northern SO that while being
benefited themselves they may confer
benefits of at least corresponding magni
tuie. We take pleasure in reproducing
the Grdphic's article:

Graphic two weeks since, headed 'Chcy-
enne's Opportunity struck n popular chord
and kindlcd an enthusiasm that bids fair to
become prolific of great and good results,
not only to Cheyenne, but to this section
as well.

Cheyenne gentlemen strongly endorsing

movement.
