WYOMING IT IS to Wy oming that falls the bon i or of being [* the first state to grant equal - p o 1 It lea 1 rlahte to women, la fact when congress, in 1868, crested the Territory of Wyoming from parts of Dakota, Utah and Idaho, a constitution was adopted which gave women the right to vote. There were rumors of early Spanish explorations in Wyoming but they seem unfounded by fact Probably the first white men to visit this part of the country were Sleur de.la Veren deze, and his sons who passed through this region In 1743 In search of locations for trading posts. In 1804 the Yellowstone was first visited by hunters, al though the fsme of Its scenic beauty was not given much cre dence until 1870 and It was 'set aside as a federal reserve in 1872. The first permanent fort in Wyoming was erected In 1884 where the Laramie river flows into the Platte. Later when the stream of Immigrants passed through this region on their way to the California gold fields a string of forts were erected along the Oregon Trail to pro* tect the travelers from attacks by the hostile Sioux Indians. Through Wyoming foent not only the Oregon Trail, which was opened up by Lieutenant Fremont and his guide. Kit Car json. In 1842, bat *Iso_ the Salt Lake Trail. Along these routes many travelers crosscd . Wyo ming, but few stopped and set tled there as theTcunuV was the most arid of all our states. The discovery of gold In 1887 led to the founding of So nth Pass City and inthe same year Cheyenne waa laid out by the Unltm Pacific flallroad company. Wyoming became the forty fourth state of the Union to 1800 and te eighth la aise with ax> a*ea of ' Improving Highway, f ?

A Tip to Game Wardens. If amatory told a Chronicle man a few dafys ago is true, the game war dens df the State should issue orderB to begin war upon black snakes. A gentleman who travels the country districts considerably tells uus that a few days ago while driving a truck along a slightly wooded highway he ran over the tail of a black snake and in a short while on his return he stopped his truck and found where the snake had crawled to the edge of the woods.
