D. Outman Bares Plans in Address Today at Rotary Luncheon. Renewed assurance that the Wyoming North & South railroad will be built this year regardless of the many dis- couraging aspects of railroad projection, and that Casper stands to reap the greatest benefits from this line if co-operation is ex- tended, W.,D. Outman, general right- of-way agent for the southern divi- sion of the newly incorporated com: pany, brought a message of optimism to the Casptr Rotary club today. This statement was emphasized by the an- nouncement that four parties of engi. ‘\, neers are taking the field to make surveys for the entire line extending from the Chicago & Northwestern on the south to the Milwaukee system in Montana, “For a number of years railroad de- yelopment in the United States has been at a standstill,” sald Mr. Out man. “Business ha's\ increased in tremendous fold but transportation facilities have remained stationary. Asa result large sections of highly productive territory have been re- tarded, awaiting access to the mgin arteries of commerce. Wyoming has been one of the principal sufferers from this condition. “The extension of the Milwaukee system to the Pacific coast was the last great railroad work and by many it has been predictea that the day of railroad building was past. From a policy of giving large land subsidies the government has swung over to a practice of regulation of every act of the carriers, bringing them down to ® system of supervision that has dis- couraged capital and taken away “Today it remains that conditions must be most favorable and the back ers most optimistic to warrant the projection and completion of new Ines. ‘These factors have combined in the contemplation and undertak- {ng.of the proposed Wyoming Nortit South railroad.
