The people of Cheyenne are again
reaching for a street railway and as
their own people are behind the pro
ject something in the way of results
may be looked for. There are a lot
of tremendous pushers at the capital
and when they make up their minds
to do a thing themselves it usually
goes through. 1t is the general desire
to complete the line before Frontier
days. but that is mighty quick time
in which to organize I'M build a street
railway system.

With the building of the Union Pa

Wyoming democrats are talking
about Mr. John E. Osborne for secre-
tary of the interior. Such joking is
almost objectionable. The secretary
of the interior is a busy man, not one
with a record for doing nothing be-
hind him. When the democrats Of
Wyoming can point to something their
lion" did in congress then they can
with propriety ask for something for
him to do in the future.

In fact, the cost Of meats and other provisions
has gone up within the last month but you dc
not hear anything about increase of your
wage to that Of the Oakland scale Self interest

every streetcar man TO Join the division. Col

ditons to which you entitled. and which you
VIII never get so long every man has to hustle
for himself
That there may be no misunderstanding, the Of

there is no scheme afoot to get your job away
from you; no one is organizing strike and nc
one is seeking to oust you from your position in

may get it. We are building up the division that
did accomplish things for the streetcar employees
Of San Francisco. and we going to do the
same thing again.

White Ribboners Welcome the Fleet

When the sixteen battleships steamed into the port of Los Angeles the White Ribboners of that section were ready to well come the crew with open house, home cooked food etc.
 They had fixed up a rest room with piano, songs. books etc. that these soldier boys might have a place to tell of their travels and talk of home and mother Flow CTS and text cards were given to each, many were the express. ions This is just like home" heard on every side. One of the few survivors from the battle ship Maine, sailor for twenty four years said: Never before have known a place like this. If there were more such we would be better men. But alas! in the majority of seaport towns the on ly things open to us are the sa- looms, the low theatres and the dives"
 Easter lilies with greetings from the President of the Maine w. c. T. U. were presented to the commander of the ship bear ing that name. Comfort bags to the number of 925 had been sent by the various Unions, the Jap anese Union of the city having sent 105 hand painted ones.
 The Minnesota Unions sent S09 comfort bags for the ship of that name. So you see the w. c. T. U. is ready to enter every door of source, and it enters. The captains of these boats express ed sincere gratitude for the thoughtful kindness and as they steered away from shore they were heard to sing God be with you till we meet again"
 We have a department of work among soldiers and sailors which is under the able leadership of Mrs. Ella M. Thacher.
