"The first charge | ever held was in q
small town in the western part of the
state" said a well-known minister, who
was in reminiscent mood. The town
was not very large, and my congregation
was very poor and unable to contribute
much toward the support OF a minister, SO
they made up what they lacked in cash by
holding donation parties now and then dur
ing the year to exc out the small salary that
they paid" says the Detroit Free Press.
The hrst intietion Of this kind that
had was called pound donation party, at
which everyone was expected to bring a

congregation was a member who had more

AMERICAN ATTRACTIONS.

rope" is visited annually by over
$4,000 American tourists and inyalids.
Why?
While the Alps have isolated peaks
such as Mont Blanc Q5,7s1 feet), and
the Matterhorn (14,s36 feet), the mean
elevation of the highest Alpine chain
is from only 5000 to 1900 feet, Colo
RADIO possesses more than 1920 peaks
over 1880 feet in altitude. of which
no fewer than IS peaks range from
$4,000 feet upward. In the whole of
Europe, there are not over II mountain
peaks of note.
The highest village in Europe is
Ayers Plate in Switzerland (7.5O0 feeD /:
the highest inhabited point in Europe
is the Hospice of St. Bernard in
Switzerland $500 fee). In Colorado
the mining town of Leadyille, with
$4,000 inhabitants, is 10000 feet above
sea level; other mining camps are
still higher and some gold and silver
mines are worked at an altitude Of
over 10000 feet.
The highest wagon road in Europe
is said to be the Stelvio road In
Switzerland (9,17o feet. In Colorado
the railroads cross the crest of the
continent at Fremont Pass III 1928
feet). Marshall Pass ti0,s52 feet) and
Tennessee Pass 10,433). Switzerland
does not possess, even in the famous
ST. Gothard line, any railroad en-
gineering surprising, IL equaling,
these. There are wagon roads over
numerous passes in Colorado ranging
from $4,000 feet upwards, the highest
being Mosquito Pass 13,700 feet).
In Switzerland the cog-railroad from
Vitznau to the summit of the Rigi
Kuhn 5000 feetD has a length of four
is 4,072 feet. In Colorado the cog-rail-
road from Manitou TO the summit OF
Pixies Peak Q4,147 feet) has a length

which the ascent is 500 feet. or an
average of SAC feet per mile, the maxi

TUESDAY. DECEMBER is. 1900
1T is UP TO WYOMING.

1t is not at all impossible that Wyo-
ming will have largely additional
prosperity thrust upon her during
1901, for it seems to be conceded by
many OF the eastern papers that there
is abundant capital for investment in
our state. Railroad construction stands
at the head and ranches come next,
with p p and gold mining closely
following, while a large number of
new coal mines will be opened.
During 1900 all lines of industry
have increased and each county in the
state has added substantially to its
population. but his we are told is only
a commencement. These things will
help the state and insure prosperity to
all the people. The better days which
dawned in Wyoming more han three
years ago have been from month to
month, and year to year growing
brighter, until ven the most skeptical
have taken heart and become hopeful,
contented and happy.
The new conditions which prevail
require IL people to do business on
a larger scale and be prepared to reap
the benefits which naturally follow an
Increase of population and the invest
ment of large capital. Railroad build
ing will furnish a ready market for
hay and grain. as well as other farm
products. The Touring mills of the
state must be furnished with wheat
enough to keep them running at their
full capacity. The graders along the
B. & NJ. in northern Laramie, Albany
and Carbon counties. need besides, po-
tatoes. butter and EGGS. The railroad
builders in Big Horn county will need
everything that can be grown on the
ranches.
Heretofore nine-tenths of the farm
products consumed in Wyoming have
been grown in Nebraska. Colorado,
Utah and Idaho. All this must be
changed. II we are to prosper more
time and more capital must be devoted
to agriculture. This will put money
in circulation at home and make the
farmer Of Wyoming what he is in other
states, the best customer of the mer-
chant.
1t is now time for those farmers who
live within reaching distance of the
line of proposed railway construction
to get ready for seed time and harvest,
for unless something equal to a nation
al calamity overtakes the country, en-
terprises of great m will be in
augurated in Wyoming the coming
year.-Leader.
