Brick from Silica Sand.
Prof. L. w. Trumbull. who is inter
ested in the company formed to manu-
f~acture building material from the 81.
lica sand found east of the city, was
present with a sample of the brick
manufactured to show the capability.
The brick was very white, very smooth
and beautiful in every way. Prof.
Trumbull gave a short description of
its manufacture, which requires little
outlay and can be produced very
cheaply.
Trees on Grand Avenue.
DR.. Hamilton called to the attention
of the club the need of a row of trees
on each side of Grand venue eastward,
and Mr.. Corthell suggested that the
city council be interested in planting
the trees as far eastward as the main
gate Of the fair grounds, declaring the
cost need not excee 5000 or there
abouts. DR.. Hamilton and his commit
tee on city improvements will take the
matter up with the council, E T. Beltz
being suggested as a member of the
committee.
Grand Avenue Crossing.
Mr.. Eggleston introduced the need
Of a subway or viaduct for the Grand
avenue crossing of the railroad, and
this subject was one for animated dis
cussion. 1t was finally resolved to
have the matter brought to the atten-
ton of the officials of the railroad com.
pany through the officials of the city.
One gentleman thought the present an
%inopportune time, perhaps. to burden
the minds Of the officials with the sug-
eestion Of a considerable expenditure,
while another took the opposite view,
holding that Wyoming had dealt kind
ly with the railroad company-more
kindly in fact than some of her sister
states, and he believed the officers are
well disposed toward the state. The
matter was placed in the hands Of the
committee on transportation and good
roads, Messrs. Corthell, Hasenkamp
and Spalding, to be placed before the
council.
Will Increase Capacity.
Mr.. Winslow reported a converse
ton with A. H. Fetters Of Omaha, a
mechanical engineer of the Union Pa.
cifc, who was here in connection with
the mills. Mr.. Fetters gave Mr.. Wins
low to understand that the rolling
mills had become a part Of the com.
munity and that its output would be
increased greatly in time. Some gen.
tlemen suggested 100 per cent, but MI.
Winslow said he had not been given
the figures. He had been told enough
to encourage the belief, however, that
the mills would be greatly enlarged in
the matter of output.
Monthly Dinners for Clubs.
The giving Of a monthly and less for
NAL dinner by the club was taken up
and discussed at length. 1t was the
almost unanimous belief Of the mem
bers that these meetings would be
fraught with great good to the COM
munity, the manner to be decided lat
er. There was much talk along the
line of ffty-cent dinners, and Mr.. Cor
thell suggested that the Commercial
club might help itself and at the same
time assist the building funds Of the
different churches in the city by ask
ing the ladies' of the respective
churches to supply the suppers, there
being some discussion as to whether
the suppers should be for fifty cents Or
q dollar. Messrs. Corthell, Rogers,
Bell, Hasenkamp, Frazee, Gonden,
Winslow and others discussed the mat
ter, a vote being taken which develop
ed the fact that a large majority are
in favor of ffty-cent dinners.
"It's not so much what We eat as
what we hear" said Mr.. Winslow. in
discussing the price Of the meal. DO
what we car to help the ladies to a
good profit and let the flow Of reason
~overbalance, If need be, the devasta-
ton wrought to the viands."
Fostering Glass Industry.
Mr.. Hasenkamp referred to the fight
now going on between the glass manu-
~facturers for supremacy, and believed
that concerted action should be taken
here to lay before the shareholders In
the glass trust the true conditions IN
this city. He believed a statement
should be prepared calling attention
to the great natural OF the
Laramie plain and the men interested
Invited to come and look the field over
At the suggestion Of Mr.. corthell, the
matter was referred to the chairman
of the manufacturing committee of the
