Attention Called to Just, Necessary
and Humane Law Passed BY the
Last State LegisIature-The Local
Merchants Here Seem to Have Ov-
v]erlooked Provisions of This Act.

Said a prominent citizen of Laramie
this morning in the presence of a re-
porter for The Republican:
Chapter 33 of the Session Laws of
Wyoming. 1901, requires every person,
company or corporation employing fe-
males to provide such employees with
seats and permit them to use them
when not necessarily actively employ
ed.
The penalty for neglecting to COM
ply with this law is a fine of not less
than $40 or more than $50 for eacl of
Tense.
This is a just, necessary and humane
law. Keeping young women on their
feet several hours longer each day
than men in any trade are required
to work is cruel and ruinous to health,
as every psychologist well knows.
The merchants here, | believe, have
paid no attention to this law. Perhaps
they did not know of it. but some
young nan actuated by gallantry or
old one prompted by humanity and
philanthropy is liable to make a COM
plant and bring the l~awbreakers to
bar
The law in expess terms is as fol-
lows:

There is a rumor current on the
streets today that the Union Pacific
will begin relaying track on the old
Laramie and North park road at once,
and that the road would be pushed to
North park.
Just how the rumor started is not
known, and the truth of it is denied
by local Union Pacific officials, who as
sert hat if the matter is under way
they do not know it.
The story going the rounds is that
the title to the right of way has pass
ed to the Union Pacific on tax titles,
and hat company is now in u~ndisputed
possession of the property.
1t will be remembered that the fif-
teen miles of the line to the Soda
Lakes we're once in operation, and that
the rails were taken up by the Union
Pacific, as that company claimed the
material, although the right of way
belonged to the late Sidney Dillon and
was inherited by his heirs at his death.
When the Union Pacific was reor-
ganized three years ago the Laramie
and North park line vas cut out. but
was bought at tax sale. Now, accord
ing to the street story. the title has
been perfected and the rails will be re
laid and the line extended.
A petition signed by many of the
residents and property owners in the
North park country has been present
ed to the Union Pacific asking that the
line be extended, and this petition has
been forwarded to the head of the
company. 1t is likely that this action
has given rise to the rumor, but this
could not be confirmed here.
Sidney Dillon claimed the Soda
Springs line as his private property
when he was president of the Union
Pacific Railroad company, and not the
property of the company, and the sep
aration of the two interests is what
caused the abandonment of the line
and the tearing up of the track.

covery shaft must be sunk on the vein
upon which the claim is based, that
the mineral must be found in place;
and hat under the state law one can
not hold Il claim upon other veins
found within its boundaries unless he
discovery shaft fultills all the require
ments OF the law.
This mistake arises from Il lack Of
proper understanding of the state min
ing laws, and gives rise to the suggcs-
ton that II cheap publication giving a
compendium of the state and federal
laws on mining would be a good thing
for the mining community. Morrison's
code fills the bill. but is too expensive
a volume for general circulation.
