HON. N. F. SPICER INFORMED
MONEY WOULD BE PLACED
FOR FEDERAL USE.
Told That Funds Would Be Deposited
With Stock Growers National

Warren Is Making Effort to Have

trihuting agent for the treasury de-
partment in the building of the post

that SIS 900 will be placed to his credit
whenever it is needed. He was in
formed hat the money would be
placed in the Stock Growers National
bank at Cheyenne. subject to his or
ders. Mr.. Spicer at once took the mat
Ter up with Senator Warren in an eff
fort to have the money deposited in
stead, it being a United States de-
positary. Senator Warren telegraphed
the secretary of the treasury of the
action taken by Mr.. Spicer, and in
formed that official that a letter from
Mr.. Spicer was then on the way to
Washington.
Mr.. Spicer urged that the money be
deposited here. as it would be a great
convenience to the workmen employed
on the building, al the checks on the
Cheyenne bank would be much harder
to negotiate among the merchants of
the city, and that there were other
features about the matter that should
be taken into consideration.
No reply has been received from the
secretary of the treasury, but Mr..
Spicer and SenatOr Warren are con-
fident that the change will be ordered
from the Cheyenne to the Laramie
bank, and that the funds will be dis
bursed directly from the Laramie in
stitution.

IN LARAMIE.
Meeting Will Be Held at the City Hall
Friday Evening and Will Be Called
to Order by Acting Mayor Spicer
if Mayor Mckee Does Not Return

ing if Mayor Mckee Ices not return
in time and will see that it is given a
start. Committees will be named and

cussed to a certain extent. 1t is be-
lleved that a celebration can be gotten

of the city will be ~ur,,ealtc give a
parade in the downtown district during
the forenoon and perhaps have some
races in the afternoon.
There are a number of fast horses
here, among the animals owned as
drivers, and some races could be ar
ranged. A display of fireworks and a
dance at night would furnish amuse-
ment for everybody.

within the next ten years $4,000
settlers will come into Wyoming as

That is the statement made by a
prominent railroad official, and quoted
by the Cheyenne Tribune, who dos
not desire his name mentioned, but
who is familiar with the existing con
ditions in the state and the progress
made in its development.
These $4,000 people," he stated,
do not represent the increase III Pop
ulation Wyoming will receive but only
the ~colonists who will come here TO
take up farms on lands where the wa
ter supply is assured, and their fami-
lies. In addition, thousands Of others
will flock into the state because the
great influx of people on the irrigated
lands will bring in merchants, profess
sional men, mechanics and laborers;
factories will be built and these will
give employment to hundreds Of more
mechanics and laborers and create
more owns. One farm does not sup
port alone the family which resides
thereon but another family engaged
in other pursuits and it is a conserva-
tive statement to say that within The
next ten years the population Of Wyo-
ming will have more than doubled, for
the state will witness a corresponding
growth and development along all
lines of industry"
