Scott Ferris, representing the Has- Kell interests, and United States. Senator John B. Kendrick on the new railroad to be built from Cas- per to Miles City, Mont., by the Wyoming North & South Railroad. company. Other members of the railroad party which came to Chey. enne last night from Casper were. in attendance and the gallery was crowded with other interested par- ties. The plain proposition re- garding the proposed Wyo- ming ‘North and South rail- road which is to be built from Miles City, Mont., through Sheridan, Buffalo, Kaycee, Salt Creek, and into Casper, was latd before more than 150 persons assem bled in the Henning dining room at a dinner given in honor of the railroad officials and delegations from the northern . cities last night. Scott Ferris, personal representative of the Haskell interests had the following to say: “We propose to bufld over 300 miles of railroad beginning with the Milwuakee on the north and ending with the Burlington on the south, and costing approximately $15,001 000. We propose to begin work tm- mediately on the opening of spring nd pledge ourselves to start not later than June 1, We agree to con- tinue the work and without unneces= y interruption to have the road iit tion by September 1, 1924, “We believe it ts a profitable In- vestment.
