FREE READING ROOM is
GROWING AND WILL NEED
SOME ADDITIONAL HELP

The ladies' who have been at the
helm in the new library and reading
DON In the Osborne block report
most excellent progress. The num-
Der of books has recently been In
creased and there Is a decided in
crease in the attendance and in the
number drawing books for home use.
This growth has naturally added to
the expense OF maintaining the free
reading room and as announced q
few weeks ago the ladies in charge
will from time to time call on the
business and professional men for a
regular donation for the support Of
the institution. This will take the
form Of a stated amount to be paid
in monthly and 1t Is expected that the
aggregate Of these small subscrip-
tons will not only pay expenses but
! enable the management to enlarge
the scope of the work.. Miss Christel
Thode and Mrs. J. C. Martinez are
attending to the taking of subscrip-
lions.

FIRE IN RAILROAD YARDS

The fire siren sounded last night
at about 7 O'Clock calling the de-
partment to the east end of the
Union Pacific wards where there
was what appeared to be a lively
blaze. This proved to be a box car
which was probably set on fire. &C.
cidentally or otherwise. by hoboes.
1t was impossible for the fire de-
partment to reach the blaze or to
render any assistance owing to the
high fence which the railroad erected
in July. SO the employees of the road
were compelled to take are Of the
burning car which proved q total
loss.

REPORTS
Sent To DENVER

! A Denver newspaper on Monday
last carried in big headlines the i'm
portant-if-true announcement that n
- ,000-Barrel Well In Little Lost
Soldier Field" had been brought in
by Edward Good and associates. The
headlines went on to say that the new
hoe extended the productive field
area further forth and that 1t added
$500 acres to the structure" and
that the first Wall Creek sands we're
encountered at 300 feet. Then the
article ceatinaes:
'"This we'll n quarter of q mile
north aud sffGbtfy west Of tho 5000
barrel 9usher recently brought In by
the Hughes Oil company on Section
3, and In which the Utah Oil Refining
company. Utah subsidiary Of the Mid
west Reftning company, now has .
half interest. The Hughes we'll was
drilled In . part Of the field which
operators and expanded the produs-
tive area from $50 to $50 sores"
Naturally the appearance Of this
sensational story in n0Wspater
published in another state aroused
considerable speculation and pro-
voked Q flood of inquiry. To set 1t
rest all further speculation as to tho
new discovery. Harold Nutting sent
the following telegram to the Denver
Newspaper:
Report that Edward Good brought
in a four thousand barrel we'll in the
Lost Soldier field Is untrue. Such In
formation enables INSCRIPTIONS
stock dealers to fleece the public and
also does harm to honest oil opera
tors. We have cemented the well in
question and won't drill in for two
weeks. We feel that you will be
only too happy to correct this report.
HAROLD NUTTING."
This telegram Is concise and en-
tirely self explanatory ana the de-
nial of the story was published In an
obscure corner of the paper referred
to with the comment that the original
story was based upon a telegram to
a local brokerage concern"
Thus 1t is in all sections where oil
development Is under way and pro-
crossing rapidly. Without the slight
est foundation in fact, or with but a
thread Of truth upon which to weave
a sensational tale OF q new ''gasser,'
some utterly irresponsible person win
send a telegram or letter designed to
stimulate interest and stock sales
in some field which is forging to the
front legitimately. 1t would seem
that metropolitan" newspapers
would scrutinize the source Of their
oil news and make certain that II

doubtful interests.

STATEMENT FROM MAYOR KELL

During the past week some opposition to the Water Bond is
sue has developed due to the efforts of certain citizens, who are ap-
parently not conversant with the facts, to impress upon the voters
that the Mayor and Board of Trustees are not acting in good faith,
or at least, are using bad judgment in connection with the building
of a proposed water supply system.
Without commenting on the distorted facts that are being
used as an argument to defeat the Water Bond issue, l desire to
take this means of informing the voters of the exact facts in the
case.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on September 9th, to
which l invited committees representing the Board of Trade,
Lions Club, and Rotary Club, as well as all other citizens who
sufficiently interested to attend, it was decided:
G) That the Sage Greek project be accepted.
(2) That the Weiland Engineering Company be
employed to plan, design, and supervise the
construction of the waterworks system,
their fees to be six and one half per cent of
the total amount of the contracts entered
into by the city in the construction of the
system.
(3) $49O,OOO five and onehalf per cent 30
year bonds be voted to construct the ss-
tenn.
() That the firm of Pershing, Nye, Fry and
Talmadge be employed to handle the legal
matters in connection with the bond issue.
No plans or designs for the construction of the system have
submitted by the Weiland Engineering Company and will
not be until after the bond issue has been authorized. When they
are submitted, notice will be given so that all persons interested
may be present when they are discussed by the Board of Trustees.
(Signed) E. A. KELL, Mayor.

Obituary

Henry Wallenstein was born in
williamsburg. New York, on January
"a. 1856. When q young man he
came west and located for a time in
Milwaukee and later in 1878 came to
Rawlins, which was his home
throughout the remainder of his life.
For five years he was a fireman
on the Union Pacific and after being
promoted to engineer served 80
years in that capacity, having been
pensioned about eve years ago.
Since that time he has been in the
employ OF the city of Rawlins for a
part of the time.
He was married in Rawlins In No
vember, 1884. to Miss Margaret Hal
pin. Seven children were born Of the
union. those surviving being Mrs. Re-
gina Benson and Henry. Roy and
Julius. With the exception OF the

as his brother had done. IF you do
not like my way, l will be off, but l

the world. Now, run along and don't
hurry about returning. for | shall be
glad to be rid of your bad manners"
So away went the Wind brothers to
the top o: n mountain and for days
they left the fault-finding Weather
cock to get along as best 1t could, for,
of course. 1t did not know that the

Horticultural
Hints
NITROGEN OF MUCH Benefit
Any Light Color on Foliage Is ind'ea
tlon OF Need of Fertilizer
for Trees.

Increased prices and Increased
crops are in store for the fruit grow
ers who apply nitrogen TO weak trees
with light green or yellowish foliage.
If the trees in orchards bearing heavy
crops are not making strong growth
this year, they may not be able 10 size
up the fruit and set strong buds FOR
next year unless n little additional
stimulation is given, advises the New
Jersey agricultural experiment station.
As lack of nitrogen is generally the
limiting factor in orchard soils, the
influence of this fertilizer is felt al
most Immediately by fruit trees. on
healthy peach and apple trees the
foliage should be dark green, and any
general light color on the foliage Is u.s.
ually the first indication of the need
of this fertilizer. 1t may be applied
Mt any time that the trees show need
of It.
The usual recommendation on aver
age apple soils Is for the application
of from l50 to 200 pounds of nitrate
of soda and 400 to 800 pounds Of acid
phosphate, and on light soils 100
pounds of nitrate of soda in the early
summer If the tree has large crop
and the foliage shows need of ii. This
supplementary application should be
made now where needed. A part or
all of the nitrate requirement may be
furnished by manure at the rate of 5
to y tons per acre in the early spring,
or by the use of sulphnte of ammonia
In quantities % per cent less than nj
trate of soda.
In peach orchards the same amounts
of fertilizer are used. If the trees are
very vigorous, part or all of the
nitrate is often withheld until after
the fruit is set. In the case of weak
trees it is well to apply it as the buds
swell, when 1t Will cause larger per-
centage Of the fruit to set, and force
the trees into early, vigorous, healthy
growth
Heavy applications of nitrogen have
their drawbacks. They frequently low
er brightness of color somewhat and
delay ripening few days. Some
growers use 1t for this latter purpose,
especially on Elberta, In order to pro-
long the season.
Nitrate of soda In proper quantities
Is also beneficial to young trees.
Enough should be given to force them
into vigorous growth, md early
enough so that the wood will ripen
well In the fall.
When nitrate is applied, 1t may be
broadcasted In orchards In which the
trees cover the ground well, but If the
trees are far apart 1t may be applied
to the tree, being scattered well out
under the spread of the branches.
Growers are advised by the expert
ment station to examine their orchards
and make immediate applications II
necessary.

The Friendly Path

able for oneself as well as everyone
with whom he comes in contact. Most
of the difficulties are of each indi-

rests almost entirely with the indi-
vidual who suffers or thinks he does.
But there are times in every ones life
when he needs and deserves the COM
forting sympathy and aid of friends.
And 1t Is at such time that no one
should hesitate to come out In the
open and request the helpful cooper
alton required. But at such times
lack of frankness is serious handi.
cap to the working out of plans which
will clear the pathways of disturbing

No one is perfect. True friends
will forgive missteps and help one to

Though the Wind brothers did not
