SUF~T. DUNPHY VISITS
AEROPILASE FIELD

Supt. A. R.. Dunphy of Omaha, and
Asst. Eupt II. F.. Mummert Of Chey-
enne. We're in Rawlins last week Wis
iting the local aeroplane field. Both
these gentlemen were well pleased
with this station and Supt. Dunphy
stated that Rawlins would be fur
nished with a serviceable plane with
in the very near future. This plane
will be delivered soon
Mail Plane on Schedule
Due to the fact that We have had
clear weather practically all week.
the mail planes have been exactly on
schedule. However, the pilots ex-
p%erience numerous thrills here owing
to the high winds. especially is this
true in taking off. Whenever there
Is a west wind here OF thirty miles
miles per hour or more the pilots al
ways encounter a downward current
OF air coming apparently over the
mountains north and west OF Raw
Inns.
In such instances a pilot is abso-
lutely at the mercy OF his motor as
If the motor should stall 1t means
that there would be a crash. Such a
crash occurred at this field on Sept.
28th when q plane was absolutely
wrecked.
Rawlins Receives Mail Early
Rawlins people are very fortunate
In having air mail service from the
east. Very few people in the city
probably realize that eastern mail
is advanced over "a hours by the air
mail service. For some time, only
first class mail was carried but at
the present time a small mount Of
parcel post is being received. A few
daily newspapers from Chicago.
Omaha and Cheyenne are also being
carried now. 1t Is probable that
within the near future Rawlins will
be receiving western mail by aero
plane as we'll as eastern mail.
Mechanics Kept Busy
The three mechanics at the local
aeroplane field have been kept busy
overhauling quite a number Of Lib
erty IL motors. By spring it is ex-
pected that the force will be made
considerably larger here and that
overhauling work will be done on a
much larger scale.

BANKERS MEET

Upon the invitation or the three
Rawlins banks. representatives of
banking institutions comprising what
is known as the Southern Group, met
with Officers of the Wyoming Stock
mems Loan Company here Saturday
evening. An excellent dinner was
served by Manager Stephenson of the
Ferris Hotel at conclusion of which
discussion began, lasting until nearly
midnight.
After the guests were welcomed
by w. w. Daley in a short talk, the
Honorable p. J. Quealy of Kemmerer.
President of h organization. was in
vited to take charge of the meeting.
Mr.. Quealy has had long experience
in this line and needless to say, pre-
sided in a very able manner
The Wyoming StOckmen's Loan
Company was organized in Cheyenne
about two months ago. Its purpose
is to assist the stockmen in securing
funds necessary to tide him over the
present depression. and also to re-
lieve the banks of some of the heavy
loans which they have been com
PEELED to carry during the past few
months.
Under the War Finance Corpora
ton Act as amended recently by
Congress. loans can be made to any
bank, banker or Trust Company, or
cooperative association. for any pur
pose connected with the breeding.
raising. fattening and marketing Of
live stock. In order to obtain a loan
application is made to the Stockmen's
Loan Company through the local
bank. II passed upon favorably by the
latter 1t then goes to the War FL
nance Board for final approval Loans
are made at the rate Of seven and
one-half per cent.
Mr.. II. B. Henderson o. Cheyenne
outlined in detail! the organization OF
the company, its aims. purposes and
accomplishments to date. Mr.. II. U.
Chairman, who was formerly National
Bank examiner. and whose services
have lately been enlisted in this new
organization. dwelt at length on pro-
ceedure necessary to obtain loans.
Messrs. A. ]. Cunningham. H. r.
Weston and A. d. Johnston, directors
Of the company, explained Its work
ing plan.
Up to the present time loans to the
amount OF $500 900 have been ap-
proved. Applications approximating
$4,000, 900 have been favorably pass
ed upon by the Board OF Directors.
and which is now in the hands OF the
committee in Chicago. representing
the War Finance Corporation. These
applications are being approved and
funds being made available almost
daily. 1t is estimated that in the
neighborhood of ten millio" dollars
OF loans will be made to livestock
men Of Wyoming through the med
ium Of the Stockmen's Loan Com
pany, acting in conjunction with the
War Finance Board. The great value
OF this move cannot be fully estimat-
ed at this time. but suffice to a it
will save our great livestock industry
from the rocks.
I The following officers Of the Stock
mems Loan Company were present
at the meeting:
P. J. Quealy. president.
A. d. Johnson. vice-president.

A regrettable feature of the above
item. and one which MIR. B~reitenstein
wishes to correct. is the fact that the
name of Roy H. Williams has been
confused by many with that of W. F.
Williams, who at present occupies the
position Of bookkeeper Of this bank
and is a thoroughly competent and
trusted employe.

the 1921 Christmas Seal Sale, the
sale which finances the statewide
fight against tuberculosis.
This year we will have the Cru
a of the Double-barred Cross, the
Gross Of Hope" which is known as
The worldwide emblem Of a world
wide fight against tuberculosis"
This tuberculosis Cross Is a COM
binatton Of the Lorraine Cross and
that Of the Greek Catholic Church.
1t was first introduced by DR.. G..
Sersiron of Paris, France, at a meet
ing Of the International Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association In October, 1902.
The National Tuberculosis Associa-
ton and its 1000 affiliated organ
izations adopted the "Double-barred
Cross" az the symbol Of the Amer
lean Crusade against tuberculosis In
1905.
The Problem that the tuberculosis
movement seeks to solve Is a three
fold one:
l.. To provide care and treatment
for those who have the disease.
2. To prevent those who are in
fected with It from breaking down
with active tuberculosis.
3. To control the spread of in
lection from those who have it.
The funds from the 1871 Christ
mas Seals will help solve this prob
lem.
AS a society affiliated with the
National Tuberculosis Association,
the Wyoming Public Health Asso-
citation concentrates its activities on
wagtng the Wyoming fight against
this dread disease. This association
ts at the present time five and one
half years old. During the past
eighteen months its staff has grown
from an Executive Secretary to
State Supervisor of Public Health
Nurse. a State tuberculosis Survey
Nurse and four Public Health Rural
Community and School nurses.
Where the Money Goes
Last year the National Association
furnished Seals, Health Bonds,
Posters, etc, free of charge and the
State Associations rendered 10 per
cent of the gross receipts to the Ma
tional Headquarters at the close of
sAhe SALE. This year each State
Association Is to purchase Its own
supplies Of Seals, Health Bonds,
Posters, ETC., and render 5 per cent
Of the gross receipts to the National
ASSUClAtIOu- III Lue ClOS0 VI the Sat6.
Ninety-lve per cent Of the money
raised in Wyoming in the 1921
Christmas Seal Sale will remain in
Wyoming to carry on the fight
against the great white plague and
for other health activities Of the
Wyoming Public Health Association,
prominent among which is The
Children's Health Crusade. We want
people to realize that all of our State
receives the benefits from the
Christmas Seal Sale but because Of
our sparce population. the Sale in
Dur state is not sufficiently large to
place a nurse in every county at the
same time. These nurses are being
passed around, and the counties
seeming to need attention most re-
ceive the nurses first. Carbon
County has received wonderful bene-
fits from this service during the past
few weeks az Is evidenced by reports
Of Survey Nurses on file in this
Office.
REMEMBER: The Christmas Seal
Sale begins December LIST. The in
tensive work will start or that date
and end December 10th. However,
the seals will be sold until the end
Of the Holiday season. 1T IS A

RED CROSS AND SALVATION
ARMY ROLL CALL REPORT

Returns are still incomplete from
the drive recently put on in Carbon
County. for the reason that the
county generally. outside Rawlins.
did not adopt the one day plan, as
it is not practical in places where
ranch people must be reached. The
National Red Cross Roll Call dates
were November II to "a. Armistice
Day to Thanksgiving, and any time
within these dates is acceptable.
However. reports should all be in this
week. as Chairman Hadsell must
complete the returns by December
LIST. and the local chapter OF the
Red Cross is required to report i'm
mediately thereafter to Washington,
In time for the annual meeting of
the National organization. There
is no time limit, so far as we have
heard. upon the Salvation Army
drive for donations.
The Rawlins report is practically
completed. with the following result:
Red Cross memberships and
cash donations -------$ 942.13
Salvation Army Cash dona-
tons 543.4S
Total --------------$1474.61
In this total is included $4,000
contributed by the people of the
General Petroleum Oil Camp, their
postoffice being Rawlins. The work
at this camp was done by Mrs. Hardi-
o and Miss Glidden. and the char
scter OF their work ia shown by the
result. They colleced $67.SS for
the Red Cross and $95.21 for the
Salvation Army.
Three only of the outside County
towns have reported to date as fol-
lows :
McFadden (Ohlo Oil Camp: Red
Cross Is; Salvation Army non
Walcott: Red Cross 16: Salvation
Army s4.04;
Fort Steele: Red Cross 16; Saliva
ton Army $14.
Total: Red Cross As: Salvation
Army $500.
A few additional Red Cross men,
berships are coming in from persons
in Rawlins who were overlooked or
were not at home on the 10th, and
the Roll Call Committee and the
Chapter are hoping that the Rawlins
total will reach 1000. The Rawlins
total for the Red Cross last year was
1861. only $4,000 more than the
total so far this year. This is in
deed a remarkable showing. when
general conditions arc taken into
consideration, and indicates the con-
fidence of the people in the Red
Cross and its work. The fact that
the Chapter is spending over $4,000
a year in the county. In addition to
the $4,000 sent last year to the
National Red Cross, undoubtedly con-
tributed to the result.
Next week we hope to publish a
complete county report.

Willow Creek section of the over land military road, closed to traffic for the past two years, will be re opened This has necessitated heavy expenditure in the vicinity of Key stone Canyon. The road has been relocated upon a high line from Mile I4 to Bear Creek at Mile r. Sus- pension bridges are being erected acress Bear Creek and Sheep Creek and the road will be opened to traf fife by July b. Considerable addi- tional relocation and improvement will still be necessary next season to bring this section of the road up to the standard of the Chitina-Fair- banks section. This latter 320 miles will be- graveled throughout and graded to standard by the close Of this season, with ordinary luck with the weather.
 Other Prospects Initiated
 Work has also been initiated upon the Gakona-Chistoche Slate Creek project and upon the McCar thy-Nizina project Four miles of road have been constructed from Gulkana to the Kakona River and 300-foot through truss bridge for the Kakona River has been ordered. The McCarthy-Nizina road will be fin ished to the Nizina River and prelim- mary plans made for the Nizina Riv- CT bridge This bridge will event ually cost from eighty to one hun dred thousand dollars and should be in place in 1923.
