JElM
AND WOODS TO Be CONNECTED
WITH THE BALANCE OF THE
WORLD BY TELEPHONE.
Poles Erected Between Jeim and
Woods and Wire on the Ground
for Extension Of the Line to This
city-WiH Use Wire Fence for
Part Of the Distance.

Frank T. Wyatt and Louis Miller
went to Jelm this morning. and when
Mr.. Wyatt reaches his destination he
will begin stringing the wire from a
telephone line to connect that camp
ant Woods landing with Laramie and
the balance of the world. The poles
for the line have been set from Jelm
to Woods, and from the latter place
to Laramie the line will use a wire
fence for the present. until the frost
is out of the ground and poles can be
set. Mr.. Wyatt expects to see the line
completed and in working order early
next week.
The proposed extension of the sys-
ten will embrace a station at Jelm,
one at Woods, at the residences of ].
NJ. Hoge and John A. Fisher, the Rus
sell ranch, Oscar Sodergreen's and at
the Berg home. The Jelm office will
be at the headquarters of the Amer
lean Gold and Copper company.
Mr.. Wyatt says the line will not be
a toll line, but to be used the same as
any other line in Laramie, and will
bring the subscribers into close touch
with the balance of the world.
The wire is of good quality and the
poles that were planted last fall, be-
fore the ground froze SO hard as to
make digging holes impossible, are Of
the standard size and height.

CARNEGIE
LIBRARY PROPOSITION TAKEN
UNDER ADJUSTMENT BY THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Believed They Will Have No Hesitancy
in Voting Tax to Provide for Main
tenance Of suiIding-Matter Pre-
scented by Messrs. Holiday, Nelson.
and Crumrine.

The county commissioners were this
ance fund for the Carnegie public IL
brary, and took the matter under con-
sideration, to report upon later. The
matter was presented by Mr.. w. H.
Holiday, Prof. Aven Nelson and Mr..
Eli Crumrine.
Mr.. Holiday, who had been invited
by the other two gentlemen to go with
them before the board, read the state
ment of the action of the citizens at
the court house meeting Thursday
night, embodying a copy of the pre-
amble and resolution and signed by
Mr.. Frank H. Eggleston as secretary.
He then spoke along the lines of
thought suggested by the meeting,
pointing out that the library had be-
come well nigh as important in the
community as public schools, INT on
sidered it the duty of the commissions
ers, when backed by the sentiment as
expressed at the Thursday night meet
ing, to levy the tax.
Brief addresses were made by
Messrs. Crumrine and Nelson, Mr..
Crumrine suggesting the propriety of
the commissioners also purchasing the
site. He offered, il the board did not
desire to collect from the people at
one time the amount necessary to buy
q site. to loan the county the sum
necessary at 6 per cent, and payable in
annual installments of, say, $500.
Commissioner Jones said he was in
favor Of the library proposition. and de-
clared that the people of the county
we're in hearty accord with the propo-
sition, as they were fully as intelligent
as the town people, enjoying reading
as we'll, and had more time to read,
having fewer card parties and other
distractions.
Mr.. Holiday declared that the people
of Laramie had been very generous
to the people Of the county in the mat
ter Of taxes and he hoped the board
would lot hesitate to levy the tax, he
being willing to bear his full burden,
not alone for himself. as he could buy
books faster than they were read at
home, but for the benefit of the COM
munity at large.
Chairman Johnson said the board
would consider the matter and inform
the committee Of its action. The
members Of the committee believe the
proportion will be favorably consid-
cred and the maintenance fund pro-
vided.
