LINE OF
AUTO RACE
LARAMIE To- TOUCHED BY
PARTICIPANTS IN RACE FROM
NEW YORK TO PARIS.
Roads From Cheyenne to Laramie and
From Here to RawIins Pronounced
in Excellent Condition-Rawlins
Man Interested in Building OF
Good Road Across Country.

The Chicago Automobile club has
written to Elmer Lovejoy of this city
concerning the proposed trip by auto
mobile from New York to Paris. by
way of Chicago and Laramie, announc-
ing that the race will start from New
York today, leaving Chicago on the
18th. and that the party should be
here the last week in this month. Mr..
Lovejoy has been asked to act as pilot
for the party and may escort them to
Rawlins. He says the roads from
Cheyenne to Laramie and from Lar
annie to Rawlins are excellent, in spite
of the derogatory reports that have
gone eastward from Denver and other
points, and that the autoists will ex-
p%erience little trouble here from that
source. They will find easy sailing,
considering that they have to reach
the highest elevation between the two
oceans. Mr.. Lovejoy this morning re-
ceived Me following letter from Homer
A. France of Rawlins concerning the
roads in Carbon county:
Mr.. Frances Letter.
81 have been after our board of coun-
ty commissioners about fixing up the
road from the county line east of here
to Rawlins and from here west to the
Sweetwater county line, that we may
be getting the transcontinental path
way plated out and be in line to get
a large appropriation from the govern
ment to complete it. l understand
that there is a great deal of wire pull
ing being done, both in the east and
west. for this road, and it is sure to
come, and / believe W. should en-
courage it all we can to come Il way
and at the same time give US a chance
to visit back and forth.
Buying Road Machines.
"Our commissioners have purchased
a couple of the western road-making
machines, which will cut the high cen
ters down in a short time, and are fig
uring on ordering a carload of tile
culvert pipe for washouts and small
bridges. Cannot you get after your
board and see if they will give their
end of the road an o~verhauilng? l am
sure it would make a nice little run
between the two places if the roads
were Strengthened, scraped and bridged
in several place. l enclose a list of
several who are beginning to get more
or less interested in cars"
Will Erect Markers.
Mr.. Lovejoy will submit a PROPOSE
ton to the board of county commits
sioners that if they will furnish the
signs he will see hat they are placed
in position, marking the best road be-
tween this city and the county line,
and if the commissioners are not in
clined to do it, he will adopt a system
of markers himself. The sign boards
are not alone for the benefit of this
C but will be used by all who travel
the road. There are numerous roads
branching from the main road to the
different ranches, and the signs will
prevent loss of time in running down
n of these and into some ranchman's
front yard and no further.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

II seems to be the opinion in financial
circles as far as can be ascertained. that
the national legislature contributed ma
terially to advancing the prosperity OF
the country by adjourning At the same
time the expression Is also heard that the
enactment of the currency bill is going
to contribute materially toward building
I'D the business of the country adding to
the growing feeling Of confidence which
Is already manifest in the enlarging scope
of business.
1t Is evident from this Judgment passed
on Congress that it did q good thing by
enacting the currency bill and also good
thing by not remaining in session any
longer. Congress apparently is a sort OF
paradox. 1t is not generally supposed
that there will be any need for the issue
OF emergency currency provided by the
new bill. but 1t is thought 1t will prove
tower of strength when public conn
dence Is slowiy returning to know ina,
there is something at hand to fight OF the
perls of money strngency which threat
ened the business world during the late
panic.
Local interests were benefited by Con-
gress to considerable extent. and moth
ing of an Injurious character to the pub
lie utility companies was placed on the
statute books. Apprehension was ex-
pressed that something of the sort would
he done and there were not lacking ap-
parent attempts in Congress toward what
was regarded as that end. However. that
is the situation practically at every ses-
sion of Congress. and II may be said that
the result described has been the one
that has usually been reached. In other
words the laws actually passed that have
been detrimental to District interests are
few indeed which. after all. Is the main
consideration. as mere threats do not

under perfect control. when 1t struck the
curve. When Lanyon turned the wheel to
bring the car around 1t responded easily
and promptly at first but then with
sudden swerve 1t darted toward the curb
and crashed against a tree. Goubeaud
