and is intended to t%ruthfully set forth,
without shading in the least degree,
some of the magnificent resources of
the Laramie valley and Albany county.
1t has been remarked more than once
since the pamphlet came from ths
bindery that never before had a bet.
ter lot of cuts been gotten together in
n publication, and there are few
spots where more attractive photog-
raphy has been possible. Some of
the ranch and farm scenes reproduced
from actual photographs are marvels
ever to IL who have seen them with
the naked eye, and will appeal to the
easterner, who heretofore has been
used to accept mention Of the Lara
mic valley as a barren plain, at an
elevation of more than a. mile above
sea level. The blowing scene shows
a huge traction engine walking
away with a gang Of plows and har'
rows, breaking the land and preparing
it for seeding at the one operation,
The garden scene shows a tall man
Mr.. George Fisher, standing to his
shoulder-height in his garden pea
patch, with other vegetables in just
as rank growth-an inspiring scene
Of loneliness and gastronomic excel
lence.
