On October 21, 1882, the paper reported: “The telephone line is strung between here and Cheyenne [up newly-named ‘Telephone Canyon’] but is not yet in operation. It probably will be within a day or two.” On October 28, Editor Hayford said: “The telephone is now in operation between here and Cheyenne, and whenever we are sad, or gloomy, or mad, we can ‘hello?’ at the Cheyennese, until it makes us feel better.”
