ROUTE
VIA LARAMIE
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL EN-
DEAvoR TO HAVE QUARTER
MASTERS DEPARTMENT ACT.
Advertising for Bids for Transporta-
ton Of Supplies From IsIay to
Grow Greek Maneuver Grounds
Stirs Local Organization to
Prompt and Vigorous Activity.

The action of the quartermaster's
department of the United States army
in advertising for bids for hauling
supplies for the Crow Creek military
maneuver camp, from Islay station,
on the Cheyenne Northern, to the
camp has caught the attention of the
officers of the Laramie Commercial
club, and they have decided to take
the matter up with the department at
Omaha. 1t is probable that a commit
tee will be sent to Omaha, as being
more effective than mailing the pro-
posed information. The chairman of
the committee. N. E. Corthell, favors
writing, but President Simpson would
rather have a committee call upon
the heads of the department in person.
Will Submit Rates.
An effort will be made TO have
some experienced teamster prepare a
sch edule of rates to be used here, in
case the shipments can be diverted to
Laramie, and this will be forwarded
to headquarters. 1t will be shown
that supplies, of which there will be
several hundred thousand pounds, can
be taken by rail to Laramie, and
thence over the quarry spur a dis,
lance of two miles to within twelve
miles of the maneuver grounds.
An Easy Road.
From the end of this spur there is
but one grade to be mounted by the
teamsters, and then there is a down.
hill pull all the way to the camp. This
grade is less severe than some ON the
route from Islay, the distance also
being less. From the end of this spur
to the camp is twelve miles, and from
Islay it is sixteen miles. The county
commissioners have done wonders in
getting the road in shape, and it is
now claimed that the road is one OF
the best mountain thoroughfares in
the country.
Western Troops to Laramie.
Large numbers of troops and great
amounts of supplies will be handled
from the west, and these are almost
certain to be sem from this city tc
the camp. The efforts of the CONNER
cial club will be directed to getting
all the supplies and all the troops
handled by rail routed to Laramie and
thence over the quarry spur and the
new road to the camp. The road be
tween the city and the canon through
the range will be placed in the very
best of condition, thar being practic
ally level and free from trouble of an,
sort.
