1T will be safe to say that of all the
interests watching developments in the
matter of a new lloteI for Laramie, tbs
railroad company is by no means the
least. The company is watching care,
fully as an interested party, and | be,

Would Quit Hotel Business.
The remark was made by a railroad
man this morning, in position to know
of some of the plans of the company
and he did not hesitate to say that lie
believed the moment the railroad com
pany found a hotel here ready to care
for the commercial business now look
cd after by the Union Pacific hotel, the
company would abandon hat building
for commercial hotel purposes and de
vote it exclusively to its own use.
Offices and Club Rooms.
1T will be converted into a sort OF
club room for employees of the road
centering here" the same man said
with certain Offices in the first story
now scattered about the yards. There
IS much available space for such use
and the railroad company would be
glad to turn the building to other par
poses.
Committee at Work.
The Commercial club committee tc
whom was referred the Barry PROPOSE
ton, started out this morning to get q
feeling of the sentiment of the people
of the city. Messrs. Rogers, Cordinel
and Christensen devoted some time t
the matter and found a good deal q
sentiment in favor of the combination
of the hotel and opera house feature
The opera house has dull season il
midsummer, when the hotel would tt
busiest, and there is usually a falling
off in business at a first-class hotel
when the opera house rush is at ii,
greatest. The plan is a feasible one
and there is every reason to believe
that it will be brought to fruitioI
