WHAT NEW RAILROAD
WILL MEAN TO CASPER

The construction of the proposed railroad from Casper
north into Montana will mean an almost undreamed of in
crease IN the present population of this city.
1t will mean a sound basis for industrial growth, The
railroad will be here after the oil is exhausted.
1t will mean the opening of the state north and south, for
the natural corollary of the Haskell railroad will be another
of like length extending into Colorado.
1t will mean that Casper is no longer TO be isolated but is
to receive the full benefits of communication by direct rather
than roundabout routes. Poor transportation facilities have
kept Casper down Good transportation facilities will bring
expansion.
II will mean lower freight rates. Freight rates at the pres
emit time between Casper and other places are four times
what they should be-.
It will moan that untold wealth will be realized by ship
pers, that the cattle and sheep business will receive a new
impetus.
Il will mean the making of Casper the metropolis it is de..
lined TO be while at the same time helping all Wyoming to-
ward a better future,
