WHITES or WYOMING

Z. EHH
Out whore the Yves. begins lies
that productive and scenic empire
known ~ Wyoming occupying all the
continent of North America west Of
the Mississippi river and north Of
the Mason and Dixon line, with the
exception OF Alaska, Canada, and .
small portion OF the U. q. That 10
during the daylight hours, after dark
It has NO limits.
We took this country away from
the Indians over three hundred years
ago and since the Volstead Act has
passed some have wished they had II
back, but evidently these people
have never lived in this state - We
have q Rock Springs, Whisky Gap
and a Green River all our own.
Wyoming has less population and
density per square mile, less miles Of
railroad, lower death rate. and larg-
or state revenue per person than any
other state in the Union. Her citi-
sens do not try to make all the
money in the world, they already
have a large portion Of it. Formerly,
their chief pursuit was chasing horse
thteves-nOw 1t Is stock-raising and
producing oil. In some states the
natives get cold in winter time, in
Wyoming they are cordial all the
time. Rm
Powder River, in wyoming. is the
only river in the world that is q
mile wide and an inch Deep" 1t be-
ing impossible to stand On one bank
and view the other side on account of
the dust blowing upstream. 1t is
navigable anywhere to man, beast or
reptile, has a greater reputation than
the Missouri river and less water
than the North Platte river. Even
the Germans during the war, knew
what 1t meant when they heard the
cry Powder River"
Wyomingians are 30 proud OF their
state that you al see the map of
Wyoming spread all over their face,
h same Is true OF their heart, and
their first concern is for Wyoming,
self-preservation coming afterward.
To show you how progressive they
are. this wonderful state has ad-
vanced more in the last fifty years
than China has in the last two
Wyoming has greater mountain
scenery than Switzerland. having
eleven peaks over thirteen thousand
elevation. besides the DEVILS Tower, /
the only thing of its kind in the
world, and the Yellowstone National
Park which was only waste land un-
til they set 1t aside for = playground.
Every kind Of = wild animal from 81
chipmunk to a mouse, from q hum
ming bird to q pelican a be found
here.
II all the sheep raised in Wyom-
Ing had been served ~ stewed NUT
ton to the combined armies It would
have fed them all during the World
War. or until they had become red,
white and blue In the face. The
wool from these same sheep would
have clothed all the natives of South
Africa.
Some OF the mammoth ranches in
this state include q township or
more. while others take in rivers
and mountain ranges. Just to give
you an idea of the immense size of
Wyoming. 1t is farther by rail from
Sheridan to Evanston. where the
state insane asylum Is. than from
Chicago to New York, or from st.
Louis to Washington. d. C. SO you
see to go crazy in Sheridan one has
. long way to go.
Wyoming. once the land of In
dian inc Buffalo is now the land OF
great and golden oppor-
tunities. 1t is the home of the
Frontier Days" held annually at
Cheyenne, where moro records are
made and more bull thrown than any
other place in the world. Casper
with a reputation equal to Chicago
and n population smaller than Elgin
GILL IL known as the ''sQuarest city
In the squarest county. In the squar-
est state in the world"
The United States with Wyoming
taken out would look as ridiculous
as a mule in buggy harness. Time,
fiction and history started when
Wyoming first came into existence. 1t
IA h summer resort Of the west, the
place where most Of the wild and
woolly" western movie plots are laid,
. great state and proves It, In fact.
all Wyomingians DIVE up to Il. 10 60
west without visiting Wyoming is
like visiting Europe without seeing
Paris.
