made n trip to Brooklyn Lake fgom
Laramie the first of last week, and
visited the lakes and many other points
of interest on the range, and upon their
return were quoted as being enthusiasts
tically in favor of II continuation of the
highway from Brooklyn Lake across the
range to Saratoga. The highway could
h be made "A part OF the Rocky

and Yellowstone Park, and would CON
lsitute one of the most beautiful pieces
of road TO be found in this part of the
world, with mountain lake
