ing down and the financial sky is clear
ing up throughout the country general.
ly. 1t is a good time to take stock and
learn, if we can, how it came about
that Laramie was so fortunate as to
come through the storm without a
scratch Or a blot upon her financial
institutions. The reason is not hard to
find. There is nothing quite so scary
as money. The moment that danger
arises, money runs to cover like a
scared hare. Laramie and Albany
county are not quite SO thickly settled
as is New York city. Everyone in
Laramie and Albany county knows ev-
erybody else in both. And all the PEG.
pie know that both Messrs. Ivinson
and Homer, the presidents of the two
financial institutions of Laramie, are
both men of the highest character,
large experience, sound judgment and
names are a tower of strength to any
institution with which they are con-
nected, and give an assurance of a
square deal to all.
Men of Sterling Worth.
The people also know the gentlemen
who are connected with them in the
management of our local banks, Otto
Gramm, Horace T. Beemer, A. C. Jones
and Ora Haley of the First National
bank. and John W. Johnson, John
McGill and C. D. Spalding of the
Albany County National bank. They
are all men of sterling worth,
whose names have never been connect
ed with any fraudulent deals, nor any
unsound business proposition, who new
er gamble in stocks of any kind, who
possess property here and who have
always the, best interests of our com
munity at heart. These are the men
who manage our financial institutions.
interests in Safe Hands.
And it was because the people of
Laramie and Albany county had an
abiding faith in the sound Judgment.
business ability, integrity and honesty
OF these men that all felt that their
interests were in safe hands and that
all would be done that could be done to
secure the interests of the people gen.
orally. The people of Albany county
are to be congratulated upon the good
sense they displayed throughout the
trying times just safely passed. and
they should congratulate themselves
that these financial institutions are in
such able n conservative hands.

ASSUMED POSITION
WHILE PRISON MAS HERE.


j. P. Helm, warden of the peniten-

went to the state board of charities
and reform at Cheyenne today, began
his services in that place on Thursday,
July ~, 1901, succeeding w. R. Adams,
who resigned the day before. The
prison was then located in this city
and remained here for severa months,
the prisoners being afterwards trans.
ferred to the new prison at Rawlins.
The old institution here was idle for
a time. and later a few of the pris-
oners were brought back here until
certain work in the Rawlins peniten-
tiary could be completed, but they did
not stay long. Now the old building
is one of the most peaceful institu-
tons in the west, being given up to
the bleating of sheep, the lowing of
kline and the agricultural museum.
