lowing happened, as reported III th'
Craig Empire:
plans which it is hoped will lead
to the building of n branch of the
Union Pacific railroad to Craig were
discussed at a meeting of represent
atives of the Craig Commercial club
with u special committee from the
Rawlins Board of Trade. Eight
members OF the Rawlins organiza-
ton arrived in Craig Saturday and
all Of Sunday WAS spent In discussing
tentative plans.
THE Rawlins committee was COM
posed of +. w. Rendle, president; II.
T.. Dunlap, secretary; w. w. Daley,
Hans Larsen and Hugh J. Rogner,
directors, and X. H. Alcorn, r. J.
Eeefe and Gus FIeichli, members of
the Rawlins Board OF Trade. This
committee had no definite plan To
offer Craig. They came here, they
stated, to get acquainted and to
study the situation.
Neither had the railroad commit.

Sunday morning were spent In pre-

Colorado for the visitors.
SUNDAY afternoon the conference
really got to work and submitted n
number Of plans for financing con:
nection between Craig and Rawlins.
Nv. W. Daley, chairman of the
Rawlins delegation, stated that he
thought the time il ripe for inducing
the Union Pacific to build south to
n Orth western Colorado. MIR Daley
is president of the Wyoming state
senate and a prospective candidate
for governor. Few men in Wyoming
are closer to the Union Pacific than
is Mr.. Daley.
"Mr. Daley stated that the Union

the railroad is bending every effort
to increase its volume of business by
encouraging new industries IN its
territory.
"R. II. Alcorn. editor Of the Raw
Inns Republican and member OF the
Wyoming Legislature, bore out Mr..
Dnley's contention and cited as proof
the fact that the Union Pacific had
recently taken over the Saratoga d
Encampment railroad, which was
known to be n losing proposition.
"Mr. Larsen. wealthy lumberman
of RawIins said TINT he thought the
railroad could be built by the coun-
try through which II traversed.
"Rawlins and Snake river and North
western Colorado can build n rail
road which will not only develop nll

building into Craig would be pre-
sented.

q. SCHOOL MATTERS

AS per previous announcement In
The Herald, a large gathering OF tax
payers and those interested In school
matters assembled at the district
court room last Saturday afternoon.
The meeting was called by County
Superintendent Baker for the pur-
pose of discussing county high school
matters. Representatives from near
ly every predinct in the county were
present, and a general discussion Of
this important question was had.
The results boiled down to the sell
ection OF a committee of'two of the
largest taxpayers, from every pre-
cinot in the county, whose function
1t would be to act with the high
school board In devising plans to bet
ter our high school privileges.
In next weeks Herald we will give
the names Of these taxpayers and
other matter bearing on the subject.
In connection with last Saturdays
meeting we have received the follow
ing:
After listening to the discussion at
the High School meeting last Sat
urday, 1t seems that one Important
matter was entirely overlooked.
We all know that we need u High
School building, and we also know
that the taxpayers are willing to vote
bonds In any reasonable amount. but
it is extremely doubtful that they
will vote bond of $4,000.
The contract price on the present
building was about $4,000. This paid
for all the material and built the
building. This material IL all there
yet, and II the building 10 torn down
to be re.erected, most of this mater
ial could be used again, and the cost
of tearing down and rebuilding
should not be more than the building
cost Mt first.
Now the important point, that WAS
overlooked, liz this: The county owns
the present site, the water is already
there, and the sewer IL there.
Any change in site, means the loss
Of these two important items, not
less than s2OOOO.
Now. why can't this building be
torn down, q full basement excavat-
ed, a re- enforced concrete foundation
built, the basement walls built high
enough to allow for plenty Of light In
