Iron works in Cheyenne would bring wealth and growth
The board of trade and real estate exchange push for Cheyenne iron works based on a rich Hartville iron belt ore body. A $40,000 bonus is plausible, with a fifteen million dollar smelting company showing interest. Proximity to rail, water power, coal and oil lines, plus cheap fuel, underpins a central, unlimited market for iron and steel north to Pacific, east to Missouri.

Governor Hill proposes change in election contest rules
Governor Hill sends a message to the legislature urging a concurrent resolution to submit an amendment to the state constitution. The change would remove from each house the power to judge its own elections and place jurisdiction in the courts. He also favors similar action by the legislature to prompt congressional consideration for a federal amendment. The aim is to have contests decided on merits and reduce legislative temptations to interfere.
