LARAMIE CREAMERY
SEEMS A CERTAINTY

Of the opinion that North park belongs
to the Laramie plain to a certain ex-
tent-their interests are linked already
and will be more closely linked when
the Laramie Plains line is extended to
Walden, as We verify believe it will
be-. The two plants could be managed
more cheaply and more advantageously
together than apart" +.
Surroundings Are Favorable.
Mr.. Randall addressed the meeting
along the same lines, telling of some
Of the conditions that surrounded his
creamery at Boulder, and he, too, be-
lieved there would be strength for both
in union. Laramie is an ideal plzce
for a creamery. You have a delightful
climate, splendid water, rich surround
ing territory, vast crops of native hay
and meadows of native grass for the
cows and few drawbacks. In many
respects Laramie is ahead of walden
for a creamery. Here you have ample
transportation facilities, pushing, hus-
ting business men and environments
that lead us to offer to link our for.
tunes with yours in the success of the
enterprise"
Liberal Subscriptions Made.
Mr.. Corthell, Mr.. Eggleston, Mr.. Hol-
liday, Mr.. Bell, Mr.. S%odergreen, Mr..
Wagner and others made addresses
along the line of the establishment of
the creamery, and at the conclusion
of the conference a subscription was
started, before the meeting closed near
ly $4,000 Of the stock of $4,000 needed
here being subscribed. 1t was the be-
lief Of many that the stock should be
held in small amounts by a large num-
Der OF stockholders, the ranchmen be-
ing given opportunity to take small
amounts and thus become part and
parcel of the successful whole.
The plan Of union between the North
park company and the local company
is something like this: Messrs. Ran
dali and True will place their plant
in the new company at actual cost,
which figures something like $500.
They will each take $1,000 in the new
company, and the Laramie end will sub
scribe $4,000 for the erection of the
plant here and for a working capital
after the plants are in operation. A
board of directors will manage the
business, the North park gentlemen
saying that not more than one of their
number would be insisted upon as a
member of the board. Their Mr.. Sterz-
back, a practical man of long expert
ence and thoroughly trustworthy,
would be brought here to manage the
Laramie branch and an assistant sent
to the Walden creamery.
Financial Advantages.
The erection of the plant here would
cost considerably less than the one at
Walden, on account of freight from
this city to Walden and other local
causes, and the capital thus provided
would be able, MI. True believed, to
place the two creameries on a paying
basis.
1t was figured hat from 200 to 400
cows would be necessary to furnish
cream for the operation Of the plafS
here. Fred Richard, a prominent To-
cal ranchman, and Charles S~odergreen,
from further up the river, believed that
large numbers of COWS could be secur-
ed were the matter brought properly
before the ranchmen, the general opin-
ion being that the farmers would rally
to the support of the creamery, finding
a market for their milk in that way
that they could not otherwise. The ad-
dition Of SO many cow to the dairy
list Of the county would mean, it was
also said, the consumption of vastly
larger quantities of homegrown fod-
der.
No Shadow Of Doubt.
1t is believed today that there is not
a question Of doubt of the outcome of
the meeting. A meeting was held be-
tween Messrs. True and Randall of the
Walden concern and the members of
the committee of the commercial club,
consisting of James M. Christensen.
F. H. Eggleston and ]. M. Hoge, when
the plan Of consolidation was more
fully gone into, and it now looks that
only the formalities of incorporation
lay between the club and the actual
erection of the plant here and the be-
ginning of operations.
