A party OF Buffalo and Sheridan
citizens returned from the state cap

say regarding the great project.
Richey Young, pioneer and lnrluen
tial citizen OF Buffalo said:
Il feel that it would be a tragedy
II the state were to lose this railroad
It would be OF intestimabIe value not
only to the northern part of the state
but It would do much to knit the var,
ious sections into one great common.
wealth. I have been with Scott Fer,
ris and associates for a week and
have been very much impressed with
tho fair method In which he has met
u citizens. I know that the Haskell
interests want nothing but what is
fair and right. II n lease to section
SO is granted them 1 know It will
mean the absolute assurance OF this
road being built across a section of
the state that is very much in need Of
transportation. and l believe I am
right in saying that 1t will mean a
line Of railroad the entire length OF
the state north and south. Further
moro I have been personally assured
Mr.. Ferris'that II this lease is so
awarded it will be for the reason that
the bid is the best basically and fin.

nneiRlly for the state. AT the same
time It WILL materially lessen. in my
opinion, tho burden tho various com
munities will have to bear IN securing
this road"
Fred Hess, a stockman OF the same
city emphasized the fact that the mat.
ter OF the lease is one OF great import.
ance. II hope. hat the state legisll.
ture Will see its way to consider fav.
orably an undertaking that cannot
but result in advantage. said MI.
Hess. The railroad will benefit the
state as a whole and for that reason
the burden ought not to be limited to
the few cities along the line OF opera.
ton. I sincerely desire that the wy.
oming North and South railroad gets
the lease OF section. Sc"
c. w. Sheldon. mayo of SSSrldan.
S. d. Garfield, postmaster, and
James A. Onken. wholesale grocer
were unanimous in their opinion thai
tho legislature should DO urged tc
close such n lease.
1t is a fair proposition" said Mr.
Sheldon. Tho request has been put
in the pen. It has been given GU
to the people. 1t will be settled Fl

by tho people"
Mr.. Garfield made mention Of tn,
treat risk which tho railroad peopl,
are taking. Tho state OF wyominr
welcomes the railroad with oper

part are working Enthusiastically tc

1t is little enough We ask of the
