Once in demand. Mr.. Frazee deserves
the thanks of the people OF Laramie
for his public spirit and enterprise in
constructing this building. beginning
at the time he did. Ominous rumors
were being circulated, but without TAX
mig any stock in them he perfected his
plans and began the construction of a
building which will cost when complet-
ed, ground and all, upwards of 81, 900.
1t has furnished employment to many
men at good wages.
The rush on the Union Pacific con-
tinlleswithout abatement. The Salt Lake
Tribune predicts that another passen-
ger train will be put on the Short Line
and that the Union Pacific will be COM
PEELED to put another train on the main
line to handle the immense express and
passenger business which is now COM
ing to it. II this should be done, 1t will
require the service OF at least twenty
additional men between Cheyenne and

District Revenue Collector Herman
Claiche has just returned from a visit
to the western part Of the state. He
visited Kemmerer, Diamondville and.
other towns. In an interview with a
Sun-Leader reporter he said: We'll,
sir. things out west are booming. There
seems to be a general revival all over
the state which though 1t has been in
progress for many months is more no.
ticeable now than at any time previous.
This is especially true Of the mining
towns of the state. I see by the Sun
Leader yesterday that a number OF
miners are wanted at Rock Springs.
The same condition prevails at Dia-
~mondville and Kemmerer. All along
the line the eye is attracted by large
placards advertising for $50, 200 and
300 men. There never was such activi-
ty in Wyoming coal camps. The min
ers are all behind in their orders. Coal
cannot be taken put fast enough and
the railroads cannot furnish sufficient
cars to haul it. At Diamondville Mar
Gus DAILY is now taking out 5000 tons
of coal every day. OF this amount g.
900 tons are being taken from one
mine. Mr.. DAILY tells me that the out
put will be increased at once to 10, 900
tons per day.
Spring calves are now selling at $1S
ard yearlings are going at from $40 to
s2s. according to grade.
The Cheyenne Tribune reports the
arrival in Cheyenne Of Mr.. J. B. Boyer
Of the Wheatland flour mill. Mr.. Boyer
delivered a carload of hogs to the ]. W.
Hammond packing house. this being
the second carload delivered by the
mill company. They have four more
carloads that will be ready for the
market during the next thirty days.
Mr.. Boyer says the colony is now we'll
stocked with hogs. I'VE are not In the
hog business" said Mr.. Boyer, except
as an incident to the milling business.
The -four business is quite lively; we
shipped five carloads on Wednesday,
three going to Laramie. one to Lusk
and one to Cheyenne" Mr.. Boyer said
more business had been done at the
mills during the past sixty days than
AZ any tiiEt slilSc UIc LuliA HtdEUtu. Ing
mill is kept going eighteen hours each
twenty-four. The demand for Wheat
land -four is daily increasing: the mill
has been very fortunate in securing a
large supply Of the best quality Of
wheat, the mill having already accumu-
lated in it's stock 10000 bushels Of Sea-
Island wheat. which compares very
favorably with the best wheat raised in
Minnesota. MI. Boyer said the start
ing up of the mill at Wheatland had
given a great impetus to the growing
of wheat in the outside d~istricts.
Judge Joseph M. Carey, who hfas Just
returned from a tour of the northern
portion Of the state, reports business
good everywhere and the people pros
porous Snd happy.
