any one e a by the state land board,
of which Governor Osborne was presi-
dent, was about 1880. But the in
come of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment of Governor Richards admins
~tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received by the
state board for said year, from the
leasing of public lands to settlers, in
this state amounted to $36, 1892. SO. In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
government, without additional legis-
~lation, as lieu lands, 341, 40 acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue of SIT ,0SS. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive of the state
of Wyoming the annual expenses Of
the county government to the tax pay
ers of Wyoming amounted to the vast
sum of 1870, 909.5 81. AS a result Of wise
legislation and a republican governor.
and rs a result Of the thorough and
painstaking work OF the present state
examiner, and heartily co-operated in
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state, although the NUMBER of counties
has been increased, the expenses of
county government have been decreas-
ed to 1920, 09S. 93, or a saving of over
$4,000 per annum to the taxpayers of
Wyoming.
Attention is called to the fact that
our last republican legislature passed
acts in reference to fees to be col
lected from corporations incorporated
under the laws of this state and from
insurance companies whereby the
annual income of the state has been
increased over a year of the Osborne
administration from So, 1000 to the sum
of $4,000. These are but instances of
the progress made by the state and
and the advantages gained to the tax
payers and to the people through the
republican legislation and aminis-
tration.
We censure and condemn John E.
Osborne, Wyoming's representative in
congress. for neglect of duty In leaving
his seat and coming home to attend to
private business at the most critical
period in the history of the nation,
causing Wyoming to be the only SOW
erign state that did not respond to
roll call in the house of representatives
on the adoption of the declaration Of
war for humanity and the maintenance
OF national honor.
Knowing that the republican party
is a paryt that fulfills its pledges and
always adheres to those principles that
yield the greatest good to the greatest
number. we fear no criticism, but sub
nit Jul record to the most scrutinizing
investigation.

1t may be a surprise to some, but it is
a fact nevertheless that the receipts al
the Laramie freight office for the year
1898, thus far, have been greatly in en-
cess of the same period for 1897. This
fact is proof conclusive that the people
of Albany county generally are more
prosperous this year than last. The
higher price received for beef, cattle
and wool has induced ranchmen to
branch out, and their increased bust
ness has caused increased business for
the road. II this improved condition
can be followed up and the lines of in
dustry be diversified. there is no reason
why the le.hargy into which some have
permitted themselves to fall may not
be removed and this city and county be
placed in the line of rapid progress and

Colorado papers are noting with con-
siderable satisfaction the fact that ,he
crop Of alfalfa is splendid this year
and that there is enough moisture to
bring forth a good fall crop for fatten-
ing lambs at Fort Collins. Tests on
the Laramie plains have demonstrated
that alfalfa can be raised here in the
most prolific manner. and it does seem
unreasonable indeed thai Fort Collins
should have a monopoly CT this import
ant industry. The Overland route has
given to the ranchmen of this valley
a very low rate on grain shipments
from Nebraska. hence the business
ought to be made very profitable in this
vicinity.
