Johnston returned to Cheyenne last
Friday night. At the earnest request
of The Republican, he has made the
following statement concerning the
reservation and the conditions now ex-
listing in that section:
Three Counties Looking Well.
Fremont, Natrona and Converse
counties are IN the eve of a very rapid
development. The possibilities of this
section of the state are now appreci-
ated, and it will not be many months
before the oil, soda, coal, cement and
brick materials, copper and gold will
attract capital as the livestock bust
ness has already done. Fremont coun-
ty particularly has suffered from a lack
of transportation facilities. Natrona
and Converse counties have been re
tarded from the same cause in a modi-
fed form. With the construction of
the Wyoming and Northwestern from
Casper to the west, conditions will
change rapidly.
