about him while sitting in the dog
house. Of the Fremount Petroleum
Co.. over in Crooks Gap several
weeks ago. when the drillers pulled
it in. Manager Gehr walked out Of
the wreck uninjured and at once set
out for Rawlins to order material for
a new standard derrick. In a few
days the derrick was ready for use
and work proceeded. Following" this
disaster the SA inch casing parted.
This, too, was treated In a philoso-
phfcal way and in g. very short time
the parted casing was recovered and
the entire string replaced with
heavier weight material. Naturally
anyone would expect an end to come
with the p~roverbial lucky third
but not such good fortune for the
FREMONT. About ten days ago a
string of tools were lost. A bulldog
spear SEM after the tools parted from
the cable. Another string of fishing
tools and another bulldog" met the
same fate. The casing parted also.
To many OF the best drflrers it ap-
peared certain that the we'll, tools
and some Of the 2450 feet of casing
would be lost surely. Manager Gehr,
however, thought differently and pro-
ceedfng to Wicke-up OF John McFay-
den he inquired for and received the
name of a good casing nan This
party had recently met with an acct
dent and suffered the fracture of
collar bone and one RIB. With heart
lessness borne of necessity Gehr in
duced Mr.. Casing man to supervise
The fishing job and when in Rawlfns
Monday announced that they had
picked up the casing and the re-
particular worry.

responsible for everything good and

PIPE Line CART
AGE COMPLETED
CONTRACTORS SUCCESSFULLY
DELIVER GREATER PART OF
NINETY MILE PIPE Line
FROM THIS CITY

Only a few eek since RawliuS
pulled off a rOusing celebration on
Two hours notice i'll connection with
the arrival and loading onto trucks
OF the first steel pipe for the new
gas line from Lost Soldier field to
Casper.
The mayor made no mistake in ar
ranging that celebration. Perhaps
it was the remembrance Of tina most
pleasant occasion hat helped a little
in the determination of the CON
tractors to make good. Rawlins
boys did the job. They delivered a
big half Of the mileage and couplings
along the right OF way ahead of con-
tract time. They tool over an addi-
tional tonnage and made prompt de-
livery where other trucks from other
localities failed; all without serious
accident and best of all with profit
to themselves and the community.
Messrs Baker, Fleischli and the
White Transportation Co., all of this
city had the contract. They started
in on. the sever million pounds of
material with an initial haul OF AZ
miles before reaching the starting
point. The pipe was unloaded to
end for a distance OF fifty miles
over sage brush. moving sand dunes,
through Sand Creek canyon and on
toward the Pathfinder dam.
Few if any roads existed along the
survey line and it "a necessary at
times u literally construct a high
way in order to get through. as
evidenced by the new Dad and sub
stantial bridges down Sand Creek.
The contractors are to be con-
graduated or their success and the
town may congratulate itself on hav-
ing these successful business men
operating out OF Rawlins.

The Republican is in receipt of a
letter from Chas. II. Bell, general
manager of the keystone Wyoming
Co. of ~Pittsburg, stating that
they are completing the financing of
That company and expect to start up
the work before December list. Until
the recent rise Of crude oil, financial
interests urged holding off the work
until the turn came and not tie up
a lot OF money or an uncertainty.
The we'll was drilled through the
Wall Creeks and on to 2490 feet. It
is casing very heavily and, although
capped, the rumble Of the well MAY
be heard plainly. The company holds
200 acres of land, have a complete
standard outfit with a large assort-
ment OF fishing and other tools. good
camp buildings, well of good boiler
water and spring water for domestic
use. 1t ha sits own N mile gas line
connected with the Ohio gasser on
36-26-8S which serves boiler and
camp buildings, thereby being in
sured against stormy weather dur
ing operations. The camp is located
at Hatchet Springs on the SWA of
12-26-8S and the formation shows
that production sands in the Muddy
will be reached in less than 900 feet.
Drilling may continue to the two
lower sands.

RESIDENT ENGINEER MARKS ACCOM-.
llSRES REMARKABLE RESULTS IN
CONSTRUCTION OF SECTION
ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY

Resident Engineer Marks OF the
state Highway Department. Editor
*, H.. Alcorn Of the RaWlinS Repub-
lichn and Secretary n. T.. Dunlap of
the Rawlins Board of Trade, made
a trip Sunday afternoon last over the
newly constructed section of the
Rocky Mountain Highway starting at
Bell Springs running to the county
line near the Bair Oil camp.
When Mr.. Marks came to Rawlins
early in September he found that
practically nothing had been
plished towards the construction Of
this road although a crew had been
on the ground for several weeks. He
Immediately discharged the crew that
had been on the job and on Septem-
Der 21st he got started on the road
with an entirely new crew.
Work was rushed from hat time
on with the result hat at the present
time sixteen miles Of the road has
all been completed with the excep-
ton Of a few culverts and a little
team work. Five miles more is
under curse Of construction and will
be completed within the next couple
Of weeks providing the weather does
not become too unfavorable. This

The roadbed is "a feet across with
absolutely perfect drainage provided.
Several strong wooden bridges have
beer constructed where needed and
culverts have been placed at every
point where there Is a possibility of
water flowing.
Although there has been no mois-
ture Of any kind since work or this
road was started many miles OF It Is
ever now very good while with some
moisture the entire road will be OK
cellent.
Next spring after the snow melts
and after the road has been dragged
a few times this stretch OF 21 miles
Of road will be almost perfect and
will decrease the cost of hauling to
the oil fields greatly. 1t will also
make one of the worst sections OF the
Rocky Mountain Highway m OF the
best.
The people OF this section next
snring will make an effort to have
the city limits to Bell Springs con
structed, which will give us an x
cellent road clear from Rawlins to
the county line.
Engineer Marks is to be CON
graduated for his excellent work in
completing this stretch of road this
fall. To do SO he has had to over
come many obstacles and build up
an entirely new organization at this
point.

10 YOU KNOW

Do you know that there are four
| good reasons why you should be q
member Of the American Red Cross?
These reasons are: First, because it
is helping the Nations disabled serv-
ice men. Second. 1t is helping safe
guard American lives. Third. it re-
lieves suffering from disasters and
accidents. Fourth. 1t is still helping
in the reconstruction OF the world.
Do you know that every month
during the last wear the American
Red Cross has been in touch with
an average Of one hundred twenty
nine thousand two hundred fifteen
ex-service men and their families?
Do you know that the American
Red Cross is providing services cost
ing ten million dollars a year for
veterans of the worlds war and that
this amour is mor than all the
membership fees paid to the Red
Cross during the last roll call?
Do you know that the American
Red Cross spent one million six hun
dred thousand dollars for the relief
Of disasters during the past year?
If you do know all of these things,
land the above information is sta
tistics,) then we are sure that you
will not fail to enroll at the next
roll call, which will be held In Raw
ms on November 18th.
We feel sure that the people of
Carbon County have not forgotten
the wonderful work which was ac-
complished by this organization dur
ing the recent World War. We feel
sure that you will help this organ-
ization to continue its wonderful
work by subscribing your mite.
The drive for the Salvation Army
will also take place on the same day.
It ia said Of the Salvation Army that
they were not in back OF the boys
at the front. but they were at the
front with the boys, going through
the same hardships as the men In the
front line trenches. They brought
good cheer as we'll as good eats to
these men who were fighting for
world democracy.
The Salvation Army is also carry
ing on their wonderful work in these
days Of peace, not only among the
ex-service men Of this country. but
with all the poor and needy OF our
larger cities.
Carbon County has always GONE
OVER THE TOP" and with your Co
operation we will go over again this
year The war IS over 1t Is true, but
the need of assistance for the men
who 30 unselfishly were manned for
life is not over, and 1t behooves
every man, woman and child who Is
sound in mind and body to do his
and her share for the relief OF our
disabled soldiers. sailors and mar
ines.

GRACE PAINTER ARRESTED

Tuesday night officers raided the
place conducted by Grace Painter on
the South Side. entering on a search
warrant issued for the purpose of de-
termining whether the woman had
some stolen furniture in her place.
The officers located the stolen fur
niture and arrested the woman on
the charge Of receiving stolen prop
erty. Some liquor was also found on
the premises and it is possible that
the woman might be charged with
Illegal possession of intoxicating
liquor.

| NEW HAY TARIFF
FROM PLATTE VALLEY

Platte Valley ranchmen as well as
Rawlins stockmen will welcome the
announcement of the Union Pacific
to the effect that the rate on hay
from Saratoga to Rawlins has been
decreased from $3.50 per ton to $3.50
per ton in car load lots. The rate
from Encampment to Rawlins has
been decreased from $3.50 per ton
to 4.44 per ton.
This reduction in freight rates will
mean hat the Platte Valley ranch
ers will have a much better market
for their hay in Rawlins than has
been the case in the past and in con-
sequence there will be much closer
cooperation between this section
and the Platte Valley section.
This reduction in the freight ate
on hay is one Of the first direct re-
suits that can be attributed to the
Union Pacific management Of the S.
& f. Railway and is a healthy indi-
cation of what will undoubtedly be
the general policy of the Union Pa
