Wyoming Attracting Capital.

Three new railroad projects, which
will result in the building of branch
lines in Wyoming, have been incor.
porated during the last few days, says
the Denver Post. Gradually Wyo-
ming, which Is one Of the richest of
the ~undeveloped states, is attracting
capital. The Chicago and Northwest.
ern some time ago built a railroad
nearly all the way across Wyoming.
The Burlington has built a branch
from Frannie into the Big Horn basin,
and the Colorado and Southern will
some day build north into Montana
from Lander, Wyo. The Denver, Lar
annie and Northwestern is projected
from Denver to Lander, Wyo, by way
of Laramie, and there is a railroad pro
jected from Rawlins, Wyo., to Steam
boat Springs, Colo. Taken altogether
the railroad outlook for Wyoming is
encouraging. The development Of
that state has heretofore been retard
ed by lack of railway facilities.
