THE BIDDER
WAS HERE
MAN TO WHOM CONTRACT WILL
LIKELY BE AWARDED HAS
LOOKED OVER FIELD.
William n. Maxwell Of Deadwood Wis
tied Laramie Little More Than a
Week Ago and Conferred With Lo-
cal Men Concerning the Building
Money On Hand for Work.

William H. Maxwell of Deadwood, S.
D., who was the lowest bidder for the
government building in this city, will
probably be awarded the contract and
will begin work as soon thereafter as
he a conveniently. He is said to be
a very successful contractor and to
have given the matter of the building
here considerable attention.
Mr.. Maxwell was in the city on the
I'd of this month, going over the ground
carefully, discussing local conditions
and looking into the possibility of sub
contracts, particularly as to the mater
ial likely to be use in the building.
During his stay in the city he confer
red with Postmaster Beltz and with
the suppliers Of labor and material,
and MI. Beltz, from his short a%cquaint-
ance with him, believes Mr.. Maxwell,
II he be given the contract, will make
an excellent record here. There were
no Wyoming bidders tor the whole
building, but Laramie men expect to
be given considerable work under sub
contracts. Particularly is this true of
stone and lumber and other material.
1t is not known just how soon the
successful bidder will be announced,
but he will probably have time to get
the work well under way this season.
The first thing to be done, of course,
after the contract has been awarded
and the site staked of, will be the ex-
|cavations and the foundation walls.
IMr. Maxwell, If he be selected, will
use Laramie material, 1t is believed,
wherever it can be employed.
The amount available for the cree
Ition of the building is a little in excess
of $4,000. leaving a handsome mar
gin for other uses after the contract
price of $4,000 has been paid. The
site and expenses consumed about $14,-
900 of the original appropriation. More
than. thirty-fve thousand dollars is
now available, and the balance will be
made 30 as soon az 1t is needed. Hon.
IN. F. Spicer Of this city is the dlsburs-
ing ofhcer of this fund, and it will be
placed in his hands when construction
work begins.

IS THE C.. & S.
BACK OF IT?
DENVER PAPER ASSERTS THAT
COLORADO, WYOMING AND
IDAHO WILL BE BUILT.
General Manager Herbert Expected
Home to Make Refinite Announce
ment In Few D~ays-Wyoming Men
Relinquish Claims to Other Parties
But Have Not Said to Whom.

The extension of the Colorado and
Southern to the Pacific coast will re-
suit in the building Of a line from Fort
Collins to connect with the northern
branch of the system, which is now
connected by the Union Pacific. The
northern branch of the Colorado and
Southern will be extended to the Pa
citic coast, says the Denver Post.
The Colorado, Wyoming n Idaho
Railroad company is understood to
have been purchased by the Colorado
and Southern. AS yet the Colorado,
wyoming and Idaho is a paper road,
projected to operate between Denver
and Boise, Idaho. passing through six
of the richest counties in Wyoming.
After General Manager j. M. Her
bert returns from his trip south he
will probably make definite announce
ments concerning the plans of the
road, n whether the Pacific coast
line will be constructed from Denver,
or will be built through Wyoming.
A short time ago the Wyoming men
who we're back of the Colorado, Wyo-
ming and Idaho relinquished their
claims to other parties. Who the 9TH
er parties were has not been definitely
ascertained, but it appears that the
Colorado and Southern is back of the
proposition.
The most available route west from
Denver has been taken up by the Moi
fat road. TIE Rock Island years ago
surveyed for a line through the south
ern part of the state to the Pacific
coast. Its route has been suggested as
a feasible one for the Colorado and
Southern. Yoakum and Hawley, who
are the men in control of the Colorado
and Southern, are trying to make the
Colorado and Southern a through line
from Galveston to Portland and other
towns of the northwest, and will have
Denver and Boise on the a
]. M. Herbert of the Colorado and
Southern says that he is not in posi-
ton to speak of the definite plans of
the Colorado and Southern in connec-
ton with the numerous proposed ex-
tensions.

The Union Pacific today announced
a reduction of II cents per 100 pounds

to Wyoming points on its line, says
the Denver Times.
The reduction was made to benefit
the Denver jobbers and put them in a
better position to meet Omaha compe'
tition. 1t takes in every town along the
Union Pacific in Wyoming and is more
general than any previous reduction
made by the road.
While the cut averages II cents per
100 pounds, it is ever more for some
classes to some towns and for others
it amounts to not quite 10 cents.
The reduction Is the direct outcome
Of the booster movement in the in

facturer and the cry of the boosters
for more equable freight rates.
The Union Pacific is the first of the
roads to reduce its freight rates and it
