MEN ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
RAILROAD PROJECT; VERDICT ON.
ITS POSSIBILITIES IS UNANIMOUS.

Casper is the success IT Is largely
because Il is a young mans town. Re-
gardless OF the wisdom and sagcity
that ome with years. it takes youth
to furnish the motive power to put
across successful projects. In this
connection it is interesting to see
what a few of tho younger profess
sional and business men think of the
railroad situation. A canvas of a
half dozen of them brought the fol.
lowing comments:

There is nothing in the history OF
our successful cities and towns that
have played a o prominent role
than the coming OF railroads. To be
the enter OF divergins Transports
ton systems means that you are the
hub of business for that section Of the
country. I look on the new North &
South railroad as one Of the most i'm

Clarence Cypreansen. attorney
Railroads would seem to mean little
to the average man in n matter of
vital Importance. A railroad means a
bigger city. more business and subse-
quently greater opportunities, for
every man, woman and child in Cas-
per. The new route should be the
impetus that will start Casper on the
journey to it's inevitable destination
