that no man could restrain the impulse to
confess his faith. At this very moment
no portion of the American continent
stands out so prominently before the
people of the United States as Wyoming,
a grand territory soon to be a great state.
Attention has lately been called to the
wonderful natural resourc ) OF this com
monweaIth BY the glowing report Oh a
congressional committee. Publication Of
these statements had arrested the notice
of thinking men and capitalists were
I quick to realize that this WAS to be one
Of the wealthiest states Speaking of
Cheyenne Col. York said he and his
associates had found here a clean, beauti
ful.city with hln1sOna residences aud en-
terprising people. The results OF Inter
ior company investments had surpassed
expectations.
Investors are coming in from all direc-
tons. This place IS on the eve of a great
forward movement. All the boom ele-
ments are here. By virtue of its geo
graphical location alone Cheyenne is Ger
tain to become second only to Denver in
the cities at the base of the Rockies. 1t
is the capital. acommereial center, a rail-
way center. Its prosperity is known and
growth assured. Investment is bound to
be attended with profit and quick returns.

speech. He conplimented the people on
their hospitality and said the visitors felt
doubly welcome. Many of tie excursion
lists were absent, but they should be ex-
cused. They were in the agencies buying
real estate. They were putting in 81
where the visitors OF last month put in 81.
The boom hasn't started vet. The lead
ers have made none and will make
more. Some complain that there are too
many real estate dealers here, but they
make the business. These men are like
bees. When these insects swarm to a
field, one can be certain of the quality of
c%ilities are unrivalled. She is the center
OF a great system and has the main shops.
Tue northern road is to reach the iron de-
posits aud Cheyenne will have blast
furnaces and shelters and
foundrys to make castings for
the entire west. Tie capitll of Kan
sa4 is a town of so 90 and there is no
reason why Cheyenne should not reach
hat size. When it does all the additions

The chief Justice of Kansas lately re-
marked that Wyoming WIS now at the
bat. The time will come when Cheyenne
will reach out and patronizingly extend
tend her hands to Omaha aud Denver.
Judge w. 7. O'Connor, the Interior
compauy's attorney, said that he did not
regret having EAST his lot here, though
proui of having b1sl a kinsln seven
teen years He had been attracted to
this place by gaining knowledge OF the
town and the territory's resources. This
is a red letter day for Cheyenne. Rich
men are investing heavily. Fifteen days
ago the governor of Kansas placed $4,000
here by telegraph. IL is no reproach to
say that non residents usually make a
very large percentage of the Lroit when
a town advances" He and his associ-
ates have come here TO make money and
stay, and if home people study the sltua
ton they will enrich themselves. 1t is a
lamentable fact that more is known OF
Wyoming beyond her borders than with
in the territory. The people who live in
town are ignorant of the grand valleys so
well watered and lined with timber, of
the iron, oil. soda, coal and pre-
cious metals, because they have had no
opportunity to traverse the country. |

back samples OF pure soda. Cheyenne
is the gateway of an empire. You will
have here blast furnaces, oil refneries and
glass works. Take soda alone. You
must have it to make soap and glass aud
to refine oil. The Union Pacif; shops
here will employ thousands of men, and
yet there are skeptics among US. New
blood and lots of it, with plenty of money
is coming in and everyone must JON tit
