COAL ROAD TALK.
q. w. Carlson, OF billiard, wyo.
ming, said that n the people OF this
city would raise $1,000, 900 and build n
road to HiIliard they could get all the
csai they would want for fifty years.
The only way the people could get the
road would he TO build Il themselves.
A special tax OF per cent ON the city's
assessed valuation OF over $50, 900 900
would give a return OF S50O,O00; n spe-

understood that the coal could be
mined for si.25 q ton, aud ifa charge
OF 1925 per ton was made, the pront
would be 5000, 200, or ten per cent on
the Investment. With such ample
security M this city possessed II was
possible that the money could be Dor

pront OF o per cent. The road would
also command an immense wool
trade; It would run through im'
mense forests OF timber, bring the
trare OF that country directly 10 this
city, and In n short time every dollar
expended would be- returned u the
people. The distance from this city IL
eighty-seven miles, and It's Wyoming
terminals would be only thirty-hve
miles from the line Of the Chicago n
Northwestern, and, being much nearer
this city than Ogden, II was possible
that 1t might have no influence with |
the Chicago Il Northwestern when II
extended Its line westward.
