PENcILED IMPRESSIONS OF A
TRIP THROUGH NORTHERN
PART OF STATE BY
STAFF MEMBER.
Casper at the Flood of a Most Busy
Season and Evidences of Prosper
ity Visible on Every Hand-Res-
~istration Point for Shoshone Open
ing and Great Influx of People
Thoughts on Political Situation.
By a STAFF Correspondent.

Casper, Wyo., June 6.-Natrona
county in general and the city OF Cas-,
per in particular are just now in the
throes OF the most prosperous year
ever in their history, with the climax
still in store. With a registration Of
flee for the Shoshone opening at Cas-
per, it is sui to have u large share
of the patronage coming therefrom, as
it is the nearest and most accessible
point named. After this flood of hui
mainly and beyond the good times
directly resulting from the work upon
the Pathfinder irrigation project, Cas-
per is not looking. The present is
enough. The bountiful harvest of to-
day is being reaped to the fullest ex-
tent.
viii Have to Move On.
OF one thing the good people of Cas-
per feel assured-that the idlers, the
supporters of the row" and the tin
horn gamblers will move on. For a
'ihhS hSiS ID Poooipiiily ludl III
element may find a way to make a
living at "the opening" but even there
they may have trouble, as Governor
Brooks has given his word that he will
do everything in his power to protect
those who entrust their lives and their
fortunes to Wyoming's keeping during
the rush to the land of the Shoshone.
In this his arm will be strengthened
in every way possible by Commission
er w. A. Richards of the general land
office and the war department. Their
combined efforts may make the way of
the transgressor exceedingly hard.
Poison in the Veins.
AS the writer walked up Casper's
main street with some of her promi-
nent citizens, at a late hour last even
ing, a man lay prone upon his face
on the sidewalk, not only speechless,
but motionless. This is one of the
things We will not miss when the
'floaters' have passed to the west"
remarked n of the citizens. "They
leave some money here, it is true, but
it is the kind that does us mighty little
good and is poison in our veins"

They think now that they have a
much better plan, as by building a cut
off from Carr to Borie it will not be
necessary to haul the cars up the
grade the second time. Such a cutoff
would also make nearly two hours diff
ference in the time of passenger trains
from the west direct to Denver, and
a Kansas City-Portland train would un-
doubtedly be put on.
Would Cut Cheyenne Out.
With this arrangement Cheyenne
would be cut out OIL all the business
