WEATHER AT RAWLINS.

Reports from the desert indicate
that there is not near so much snow
between Creston and Bitter creek as
there is around Rawlins. There Is said
to be considerable more snow east of
the Platte river.
Both the north and south stage lines
have managed to get through without
missing a trip, although the driver of
the south line lost his way and was
compelled to remain out until daylight
before reaching Rawllns. Last Fri
day night he got off the road about
sixteen miles out, so he unhitched his

RANWLINS WANTS TELEPHONES,
System 10 Be Observation-Disclosures In
expensive.

A project is on foot to establish a
telephone exchange in Rawlins. The
Rawlins Electric Light and Fuel COM
pany has applied to the city council
for a franchise, and it is expected the
board will meet in a few days to take
action on the matter.
The central office will be located in
the office of the electric light company,
and an operator would be in charge at
all times. A switch board accommo-
dating fifty phones will be ordered at
first. They have the promise of be-
tween thirty and forty subscribers.
Cosgriff Brothers are also contem-
plating the erection of a line to Fort
Steele, which. with the line TO- in OPP
Grafton from the latter place to Sara
toga would give telephone connection
between the Platte valley and county
seat, a convenience that would no doubt
be greatly appreciated by the business
men of Saratoga as we'll as the citizens
Of Rawlins. If the mines at Grand En-
campment and Battle Lake continue to
improve the line will no doubt be eX-
tended to those camps the coming sum-
mer.
A telephone exchange will be a great
convenience to the business commune
ty. In fact there are now nearly a
| dozen private phones being used in
the town. These of course would all
avail themselves of the advantages OF
the service from the centra! office.
The council will no doubt grant the
| franchise, and the system will be in
| operation in a few weeks.
The plan is for each subscriber to
purchase his own instrument at actual
| cost. which will be in the neighbor-
hood of SIS, and then a charge OF about
81. so per month will be made for the
maintenance of the central office and
keeping the line in repair. A frst-class
service will be given, in Tact as good
| as is afforded In any city where the
charge is not less than IS a month for
