That the city of Casper has a population of nearly 26,000 peo- ple is the estimate of officials of the chamber of commerce here who have gone into the matter thoroughly and have compiled statistics that speak for themselves. It is also estimated that 1,000. persons reside in Mills, Casper's nearest suburb. Charles. B.
