DOING WORK.

home people and are able to show 10

pany is doing such a work. They are
presenting to the people Of some Of
the states to the east the advantages
of the Laramie plains in a that
Is at once truthful and convincing.
There is no fuss or feathers about their
work, but they are getting results and
are bringing TO this valley many famt'
lies that come from farming communi-
ties-families that understand what +,
is to earn their bread by the sweat Of
their brows and who are familiar with
combining farming and stockraising.
The Laramie Realty company is com
posed OF the Messrs. A~ugspurger and
l.. II. Herrick, so far as the outsiders
are concerned. They have associated
themselves with Mr.. e. j. Bell Of this
county and are showing TO the world
the advantages of the Laramie plains
in general and the city of Laramie.
They have recently published n small
folder which is a catchy but truthful
advertising proposition. They do not
propose to give anything but the TRUTH
This folder shows actual yields of oats,
wheat, barley, potatoes, alfalfa and
field pease. 1t not only gives the maxi
mum yield and the tremendous weight
that secured prizes for us at worlds
1t shows the remarkably low range Of
prices that prevail at the present time.
Our climate is given the benefit of a
square deal" and the advantages OF
an open winter are touched upon. 1t
shows to the eastern stockman JUS.
what has been done in the matter OF
winning prizes at the fat stock shows
and exploits the advantages of gu
dry winters for stock feeding, both as
TO cattle and sheep. The field peaSe
come in for a share of the advertising
and il is set forth that wheat will be
one of our leading products in the near
future.
These gentlemen are not only inter
ested in the buying and selling of re
atty, but they have associated them
selves with our local peop.e in the mat
ter of building up the city. They have
formed the overland Cereals company,
Mr.. N. e. Corthell going in as vice
president. This Is the company that
will operate the our mill and which
will manufacture other food products
at this point, As their business deyel
ops there appears to be no question
but that they will be abe to make
some of the finest cereals here that
can be produced on earth. First-class
oatmeal, for instance, depends very
largely on the oats, and here is where
the fines oats can be raised. 1t is
also true of the products of wheat and
barley.
Another company which these gen.
tlemen have formed is the Laramie De
velopment company, of which Mr.. Z
]. Bell is the president, Mr.. l.. r. He"
rick the vice president and Mr.. A. w.
Augspurger the secretary n treasur,
err. They have purchased the Black
burn ranch and a portion of the Mill
brook ranch, an area of $500 acres.
This land has cd and ample water
rights and is being sold in small areas
to eastern farmers A large portion
of it has already been sold. When it
is understood that the Wheatlani col
ony has not developed more than two
and a half times this single area taken
over by this company, our people will
realize what it means. This a will
give farms Of eighty acres each TO
los families. 1t is as good land as
there is out of doors, the price at the
present time is low and there is 10
chance about its development. There
is nothing of the element of the dry
farm about it, for there is ample wa
ter and a permanent title. This one
area will bring FIVE hundred people
to this county and there are many 9th.
err areas which may be developed in
the same manner.
The Republican views the future OF
the Gem City with greater hope and
more absolute confidence than at any
time in its history. Agriculture-inten
sive f~arming-will make us independ-
ent Of financial furries and industrial
~depressions. The people of Laramie
are rightly extending the hand of fei
lowship to these strangers in our midst
and bidding them welcome.
