One Week Of Holiday

The trustees of the school dis
trict have determined on only one
week of holidays. School will
close Friday afternoon, December
21st, and open again on Monday
morning, the 3lst of December.
New Years Day is not observed
in the west as a holiday like it is
in the middle and eastern states;
hence the trustees thought it best
to not have school on Monday the
Oath of December, and dismiss for
the rest of the week, but to give
the entire week for holiday pur-
poses. All of the teachers have
given cordial assent to this pro-
gram.

MORE B.. &

That The Burlington will Build into This
Valley is Made Certain By Expressions
From Some Of the Head Officials--Strenf
Talk Of Electric Road From Denver. :

"You people are going to have
the Burlington road in here soon.
er than you think"
This remark was made to a rep
resentative of the Sun by a Fort
Collins, Colo, business man very
recently. He continued: "The
people of Fort Collins, generally,
are looking to see the Burlington
build from Lyons, its present ter
minus, to Fort Collins and on in
to this valley. 1t is reported on
reliable authority that the order
has gone forth to commence the
line north that is to connect up
with the branch now building
south from Worland. This is
something more than mere rumor.
For years the Burlington has
been looking with longing eyes
toward the North Park country.
They have had a party of survey
ors in the country around Tie
Siding and on the Big Laramie
river for the past Is months, try
ing to find the best route over in
to this valley. They have run
many lines and are still at work.
We people in Fort Collins believe
that the Burlington will yet find
a way in here and that very short
ly."
In addition to the prospects for
the early building of the Burling-
ton into this valley, the organise
ton of a large company for the
purpose of constructing electric
railways, which will connect up
all of the towns in Northern Colo
RADIO and southern Wyoming,
gives color to the umo that
Saratoga will eventually be on an
electric line which has Denver for
one of it's terminals. Electric lines
are becoming daily more and more
important and more and more
feasible. The opportunities pre-
sented here in the Rocky Noun
tains for the construction of i'm
mense reservoirs, out of which
power can be generated again and
again, makes the electric road a
very simple proposition. 1t is
but a very few years until electric
roads will be running all over this
mountain country, and quick and
cheap transportation will be the
result. Electricity is the coming
power and all work, of every char.
%acter, will be performed by it.

state ana her people, having the
courage of his convictions at all
times upon all matters, and never
once have his official acts been
called into question.
AS a private citizen he is a
ranchman owning a fine ranch in
the Platte valley, stocked with
one of the finest thoroughbred
Hereford herds in the west.
Upon the creation of the Medi-
cine Bow reserve two years ago
he was proffered the position of
supervisor. The tender of this
position came to him, not through
political pull" nor his own seek
ing, but because the department
of forestry recognized him as the
man familiar with with the peo-
pie and all the attending condi-
tions and it was only after some
months of deliberation that he
was induced to accept, He came
up to his former high standard of
efficiency in a public capacity and
the under his charge is
conceded to be one of the best
managed in existence, and one
which gives the least trouble to
the department., besides rendering
to the department better financial
returns than any other reserve has
v given.
In the last two campaigns Capt.
Davis has served his party as
chairman of the republican county
central committee, and under mis-
leadership two of the most mag
nifcient victories in the history
of the county have beeu won,
placing Carbon in the position of
banner republican county in the
state. He has stood for high
party ideals, efficient men in Of
fee, and the confidence placed in
him by the people as evidenced by
his as a political leader is
a splendid tribute to him, as we'll
as the measures and men he has
from time to time endorsed.
That Capt. Davis is the choice
of this comfy for the position of
United States Marshal is evidence
ed in the recent county conven-
ton when a resolution endorsing
his candidacy was passed amidst
tremendous applause, indicating
the most high esteem in which
he is held in all sections. En-
dorsement received in all sections
of the state also show that his ap-
pointment would meet with APP
proval, strong and hearty, in a de-
gree that would be extended to no
other a~pirant.
Pre- dent Roosevelt could make
no better selection, none SO salts
factory generally, and none that
would insure greater efficiency in
the conduct of the office.

A Good Record


fitness OF the men for the position
of United States Marshall, the
Rawlins Republican has given
Capt. l.. G.. Davis a good strong
endorsement in the following
article which we reprint. While
this might have been made much
stronger if the Republican had
been better acquainted with the
facts, still it is a very clear and
c%omprehen i've write up of Mr..
Davis public life:
"Within the next few months
President Roosevelt will make the
appointment of an United States
Marshal for the district of Wyom-
ing, and in this connection the
Republican takes pleasure in
mentioning the many qualifca-
tions of Capt. L.. g. Davis of Sara
toga, an aspirant for the position.
In many respects the Office is the
most important federal appoint
ment in the state and for the pub
lie good it is essential that a man
of Capt. Davis type be named.
Capt. Davis has long been a re-
sident of the state, devoted to
every principle calculated to
bring about a higher standard of
citizenship, and has given much
of his time and energy to serving
the interests of Wyoming both as
private and public citizen.
His record in this county and
state is one in which every citizen
may well take pride. His public
service has been in a large mea-
sure a matter of sacrifice on his
part but has always reflected cred
it upon himself and his constitu-
ents.
Captain Davis was a member of
the first legislature of this state,
serving in the house of represent
atives. In 1894 he was elected
sheriff of this county by a major
ity of four hundred votes, the to-
tai vote in the county at that time
being only about two thousand.
Two years later, when the free
silver idea swept this state and
democrats were largely successful,
Mr.. Davis was reelected to the
same position, his majority this
time being swelled to six hundred.
A few months before the close
of his last term MIR Davis resign
ed his position to enlist in his
c~ountrY's service during the war
with Spain, organized a troop of
rough riders in this county and
joined the Second United States
Volunteer Cavalry under Colonel
Torrey, Mr.. Davis himself being
raised to the rank of captain.
In 1900 he was elected state
senator from this county by a
majority of seven hundred, and
was recognized one of the most eff
~fective legislators in the assembly
occupying the position of vice.
president Of that body.
His whole political career has
shown him to be a man of excep-
tional executive ability, a loyal
friend to the best interests of the
