With the largest floating population in the state and the larg- est population of artisans of any city in the state of Wyoming, it offers exceptional opportunities along these lites. Casper furnishes more men, for government projects and the ship- yards than any city in the state.

On the western side the enemy is fighting a desprate battle, depending upon his machine guns to hold up the allied advance. There is little left of enemy artillery on this front.
