REMS OF Iffl.
BY LAFAYETTE YOUNG
It is to early for me to express a
general opinion of Wyoming, as the
people of the state complain that
their country has not received suffi
cient attention; that they are in the
middle west of the west.
The people come here from Illinois
and lowa, Minnesota and Missouri
and they come here from California
and Oregon. The far-eastern man if
I he comes west at all does not stop at
Wyoming. He goes to the coast.
Wyoming is about twice the size of
the state of lowa, has plenty of range
for cattle and sheop; plenty of fish in
the mountain streams which I have
named in the former letter.
BIG GAME COUNTRY
The state has mineral wealth in
cluding copper, gold, silver, coal and
winding up with coal oil. Coal oil is
now the third industry in the state.
Cattle being first and sheep second.
Wyomind is also a big game country.
The soil is good enough and will pro
duce anything when water is applied.
It would be easy to have good roads
in Wyoming on account of the na
ture of the soil. The absence of rain
does not hurt the roads particularly.
But it is evident there are heavy
rains here at times for the gullies and
washouts would indicate that there
are very heavy rainfalls. Wyoming
will never be an agricultural state in
the sense of lowa and Illinois, but it
will produce many agricultural pro
ducts. Alfalfa is a successful crop
in the valleys of the streams. The
snow on the mountains will furnish
water for many purposes in some
parts of Wyoming and the water that
comes from the snow is the best ever.
NEEDS RAILROADS
Wyoming will ultimately be a play
ground for the states of the middle
west. The big game hunter can
reach big game quicker in Wyoming
than by going anywhere else. Such
a town as Lander, in Wyoming ought
sometime to be a big resort. This I
have said before. Wyoming must
have more miles of railroad in the
future. There are too many places
where there are no transportation fac
ilities. The tourist business of Wyo
ming is large and will be larger.
The Cody entrance to the Yellow
stone park is new. It is at the east
ern edge of the park and is reached
by the Burlington line. The Burling
ton line branches off from the route
to Billings, but all the trains run to
Cody on the branch and a passenger
can take a sleeping berth from Omaha
to Cody. When I visited the park
thirty years ago there was but one
entrance and that was from Garden
er on the Northern Pacific. There is
also an entrance at the present time
on the western line of the park, from

a station called Yellowstone on the
Union Pacific. Thus there are three
ways of getting into the park.
TO YELLOWSTONE PARK
Nearly all the railway lines run
ning in and out of Des Moines sell
round-trip tickets to the Yellowstone
for $41.32. This entitles the passen
ger to visit Salt Lake, Denver, Colo
rado Springs, Pike’s Peak, without
extra charge. The round-trip sleep
ing car fare from Des Moines direct
to the Yellowstone is $14.00. The
tour thru the park in the horse coach
es is $50.00. Thus the total sum from
Des Moines to Yellowstone and thru
the park and back again to Des Moi
nes is $105.32. To this sum should
be added $60.00 for incidentals. Then
you have the entire expense, and I
think it is worth the money.
A good automobile driver could
drive directly from Des Moines to the
Yellowstone and thru the park with
out paying any railroad fare what
ever. It has not been a great many
years since automobiles were admit
ted to the park and they now operate
under the strictest regulations, but au
tomobiles cannot carry paying pass
engers. The citizens of Cody brought
their own automobiles to town and
they are now driving thirty or more
Wyoming editors thru the park with
out expense, but I prefer to go the
regulation way and pay the regula
tion price. In order to tour the park
without doubling any of the route we
shall omit going to Mammoth Hot
Springs, which is the Gardiner en
trance to the park. We shall not
miss much and thus shall save our
selves traveling over any part of the
road twice. Going in from Cody we
shall pass thru for a distance of fifty
miles some beautiful scenery outside
of the park. Our road will be thru
a forest reserve held by the Federal
government and a game preserve
held by the state of Wyoming. Wc
shall pass by the Shoshone dam, which
backs water for twenty miles and is
expected to reclaim 150,000 acres of
arid lands. The dam is already built,
but for the lack of a tunnel thru the
mountain the water does not reach
the lands for which it was intended
Litigation is holding up the project
We shall enter the park at Pahaska
which means a big log house or a ser
ies of log houses, and two miles be
yond this is a military post where wr
actually go into the park. Pahaska
is one of Buffalo Bill’s summer re
sorts up in the mountains and tour
ists appreciate it.
THE PROUD COWPUNCHER
The farm boys of lowa and every
other working man could learn ales
son from the cowboys of Wyoming
The cowboy is proud of his job:
proud of his particular manner of
dress; glorying in his hat He feels
that he is one of natures choicest pro
ducts. He rides the range with ener
gy and persistency and when he goes
to a barn dance on some big ranch he
can dance with any lady there. As a
rule he is a good dancer and his con
duct is gentlemanly. He is cour
teous in manner and manifests self
confidence. He enjoys life because
he respects his employment. Ik*
thinks il is an honor to be a cowboy
and he would not change places with
a town prince. The trouble is with
our farms and shops in lowa and oth
er purely agricultural states that they
do .not glorify and magnify and feel!
pride in their occupation. Pride in
an occupation brings happiness.
When a man feels that he is perform

there are no distinctions.
Some months ago, a man from the
east being in a Wyoming town , look

p. m. and remarked to a lady of hi ;
acquaintance that he could not see a
woman on the street, adding also that
he understood it was dangerous for
a woman to be on the streets of a
western town at night. The lady be

were no men standing on the street
in the western towns leering at the

Groom One of Wyoming’s Besl
Road Boosters Tells of Work
Done on Highway
M. R. Collins, president of the
Douglas National bank and Mrs. Anna
Potter, owner of the Douglas Enter
prise, were married at the home of
j the brides parents in Casper last week
I and after a tour of Yellowstone park
! spent Monday and Tuesday in Cody.
. Mr. Collins is one of the leading men
!of Converse county and is commis-
I sioner of the Yellowstone highway.
He is a good roads booster of the
highest type.
In speaking of the work done on
the Yellowstone highway Mr. Collins
said: “When we get a road all the
way across Wyoming from Cheyenne
to the Yellowstone Park there will be
twenty cars to one now. I don't be
lieve we appreciate the demand there
is for a good road.
“Down in our section of the state
there has been a great deal of inter
est and activity. Converse county
(of which Mr. Collins is Yellowstone
highway commissioner) has its en
tire road crowned and six miles of it
is gravel surfaced. We have spent
$50,000 on this road in the past two
years and we expect to continue our
efforts until it is a boulevard asross
our county.
“Platte county has graded their
entire distance and Laramie county
is doing fresh work this summer and
will be finished to their north line
before fall. Natrona county has gone
as far as Waltman with a crowned
road and will pass Arminta before
long. The ground is very dry and
hard to move. Consequently prog
ress is slow.
“Our people are finding that fall
work is better than spring for the
winter rains and snows settle the
new work and with dragging in the
spring we have a hard road for all
summer. Spring work does not set
tle and work up fine and dusty. The
wind has a bad effect and makes bad
holes in places.
“Our people have also found that
with the natural materials for road
building that drainage is the most
important item in road construction.
If the road men will see that the wa
ter is taken care of so that it does
not get under the road they have sol
ved a serious problem.
“The traffic is just started. Doug
las is feeling the increased financial
return from the auto tourist travel
and our business men are stronger
than ever for better roads.”
marks concerning them. This is a
true statement of life in the western
towns. Women are respected and
treated with the greatest courtesy.
These western plases are freer from
gossip than towns farther east of the
same size. The lady assured the man
from the east that while the women
were not on the streets they might be
at the picture shows.

of a deep red color, with no tie whatjj
