that n very large amount Of business has Deen

may be frankly acknowledged that the railroads
are not coming into the market promptly as has
been expected. The Pennsylvaia road with it's
keen interest in the mills along it's lines, has been
the leader usual. by contracting for a totai OF
1y2 tons with the usual privilege Of taking 10

lot of 5000 tons for the Delaware. Lackawanna

ume in heavy rolling mill products. In the lighter

in the wire industry received orders during the
estimated output of that month. The United
Steel Corporation has 81 per cent Of its tin

sheet mill capacity is running, with preparations
under way to add TO it at once. Very serious
anxiety is caused in the Central West and IN the
East by the effects o. the drouth.

MORE FRIENDLY FEELING.

1t is Il great pleasure to The Repub-
lican to note that there Is a more
friendy feeling growing up in the city
of Cheyenne toward the Wyoming uni
,ersity. At the meeting OF the board
of education held in tina. city May 2.
1904. the following resolution was un-
animousiy adopted:
Our own state university is near at
hand, and its splendid curriculum rs
so arranged that the high school grad
uatc there takes up the studies where
they have been left off, and, under the
Immediate direction of a superior fac
ulty. can do highly satisfactory work.
This is evidenced by the success that
is being attained by many graduates"
The foregoing is the simple truth
and coming from our chief city 1t will
serve as a splendid Endorsement. The
students of every school in the state
should be trained up from the very
start to look forward to the university
as their alma mater. In securing stu
tents from Cheyenne the university
has not had very good success, but the
cooperation of the board of education
will do much toward awakening an in
terest in the home institution.

he is Of the opinion that not more than
sixty-five per cent Of the exhibits are
ready. The grounds are about COM

Mr.. Deming says the exposition will
be the greatest the world has ever

ford it should not fall to go. Prices,
he says, are soaring skyward, the e.
position management and the st. Louis
papers being powerless to control mat

Of St. Louis come to their senses and

WYOMING RECLAMATION WORK

Senator Warren of Wyoming scored
a triumph when he induced h recia'
nation service to set apart $1,000, O0O
with which to begin the construction
OF an normous storage reservoir IN
Natrona county, Wyoming, to be NIL
ed with water from the North Platte
and from which something like 3Oo''
900 acres will be irrigated.
This enterprise has long been in con
temptation. The representatives OF
the reclamation service examined II
and reported on it's feasibility. II
was estimated that the reservoir could
be built within a reasonable limit OF
cost and that an adequate body OF
land for reclamation could be secur
ed partly in Wyoming and partly nea
the western border Of NebFaska
1t is believed that the work VIII
cost in the aggregate about t4.oee.00o.
