| expected to assume permanent places
in the building up of the state.
The resources of the new organiza-
ton, aggregating approximately one
half million dollars and including the
interests of active and progressive
business men of other sections,
among them being Mr.. g. L. Curtis
and E. ]. Curtis and associates OF
Clinton, Iowa, Mr.. G. A. Day 81
Chicago, Illinois, and Ogden, Utah,
and associates, Judge Andrew Howat
and Mr.. George e. Merrill of Salt
Lake City, Utah, afford assurance of
the financial ability of the enlarged
organization to properly handle the
business and serve the people to
whom they cater.
In connection with the announce
ment of these important changes,
Mr., Hilliard states that broad but in
dependent and clear cut policies are
to be put in operation by the company
and that these policies will be charac-
terized by marked effort to build
up large asset in the good will and
the confidence of the people among
whom the company has its invest
ment and expects to conduct it's oper-
ations for many years to come.
The retirement of Mr.. Hilli2rd
from participation in the affairs of
the Gem State Lumber company is a
matter of regret to his associates,
and Mr.. George E. Merrill, one of the
directors of the company, is quoted
as expressing the large measure of
confidence and good will entertained
by the company for the retiring vice
president and general manager. Mr..
Hilliard expects to visit in the middle
west for some weeks after March;

his plans until his return from the
much deserved rests. If he deter,

nections his long experience and
established acquaintance in the lum-
Der trade present many opportunities,
none of which Mr.. Hilliard feels Ms
posed to undertake at the present.

The change announced by Mr.. Hill,
ard will involve several promotions
and new assignments for some of the
men identified for several years as
local managers for the company. Mr.
George Kisling of Burley is shortly
to assume the management of the Po{i

the company's business at Burleyb

Local Boys We're Defeated in Football
Game AT Augusta, Saturday

Battered and bruised, our high
school boys limped home from Satur-
day evenings train after their half
days visit to the Capitol city. where
they had met their enemy as we'll as
their superiors. so far as the art of
football is concerned. They had not
expected to win, neither had they eX-
pected to lose by so large a score. 1t
wasn't their fault, however. They
pushed, and they pulled. they held and
they squirmed, they tried to kick and
to run with the ball, but all to no pur-
pose. The iron twins" couldn't hold
the 'iceman2 melted away like WAX.
Rat didn't get a nibble, and Capt
"Skinuie" was skun for sure.
The Cony boys played fine game
50 did Skowhegan The real trouble
and there was a lot of it, was that Att
gusta beef exceeds that of Skowhegan.
Not that theirs is rump and ours ten
derloin, but that their rumps are about
thirty pounds to man heavier than
are ours Thirty times II are $50.
and with this extra weight Cony was
able to take the SO and leave US the
o. 1t was a great game to watch
just the same, and Cony will never
meet eleven better fighters, There
is not a gutter among them, notwith-
standing the handicap under which
they are training.
When the town in its less-said-
about-it-the-better attempt to enlarge
the high school building left nothing
but hole in the ground and a rock
pile for a practice field, it left what is
not conducive to good playing, even
in football. The boys have about
every disadvantage one can think of
except in the matter of coaching.
Thanks to the two stars Skowhegan
has furnished to the college football
world in Murray and Lacasce. they can
ask nothing better in that line What
they now need that we can give them
| IS full and united support, financial
and otherwise. With this, we will
yet hear the old bell clang for victor
