AMIMS WATER BONDS APPROVED BY DECISIVE MAJORITY AT TUESDAY, ELECTION
LIONS CLUB ENTERTAINED
BY RAWLINS BANKER WITH
TIMELY OPTIMISTIC TALK

One of the guests at the regular
weekly luncheon of the Lions club
last Thursday was Harry Breiten-
stein. cashier of the Stockgrowers
bank, who not only assisted in the
iinging but gave an inspiring and in
teresting booster talk, which was
received with great enthusiasm. He
spoke Of the tremendous possibilities
of Rawlins and referred particularly
t o the location of an immense re-
finery at the city's outskirts, which
will increase business in every line
and add to the producing popula-
ton and release thousands of dollars
into the channels of trade.
Mr.. Breitenstein spoke earnestly
OF the serious condition which con
fronts this city In the matter of
housing and urged some action i'm
mediately. notwithstanding the
fact that work on the many new pro-
jects in and around Rawlins had
scarcely begun there is not at the
present time adequate housing for
those already here. so that the hun
dreds which are sure to follow will
make the situation acute unless
something is done and done quickly.
The speaker also told of having
entertained at his home within a few
days a trio Of oil men whose visit to
this city was fraught with great pos
sibilities. One of these was II. r.
Wertz. who. as general manger OF
the Producers & Refiners. is a fire.
'quent visitor. and the others were
T. B. Hofer. president Of the Fens-
land Oil company. whose great out
put has been contracted and will be
handled by the p. & r., and Arthur
B. Lawrence. a New York banker,
whose bank Is one of a syndirate
which will float a huge bond issue
for the Producers & Refiners cor.
poration. This issue will run up in.
to millions and it Is reported that
$1,000, 900 have been set aside fol
the operations contemplated by this
corporation in this section, including
the Granville refinery, pipe lines and
other enterprises. 1t was also stated
by the speaker hat 1t was a condition
of certain contracts and engagement.
that the Grenvillc refinery should BIT
in operation by the first Of February
next.

n. II. Greenfield. who has known
and been closely associated with Mr..
Reid during the latter's long resi-
dence in Rawlins. and who has there
by been enabled to appreciate fully
his many admirable qualities OF mind
and heart. delivered the following
| eloquent and heartfelt eulogy:
Will Reid became a charter mem
Der OF this Lodge upon its %organiza-
ton on August Is, 1900. His spirit
took Its flight to the unseen world on
the last day OF October. 1922. He
was at all times an active and helpful
member. Shortly after its ~organiZa-
ton he became our Secretary and
served In that capacity for many
years. He also served as h Exalted
Ruler of this Lodge. In fact. he filled
every important office of this lodge
and served with credit and distinc-
ton to himself and the membership
OF this lodge. VIII Reid was one OF
the architects and builders who laid
the firm foundation OF this lodge. He
Mt all times put forth his best efforts
Tor the %u2building and uplifting OF
this lodge. and when his great heart
stopped. there went out a life which
has ever shonc as IA beacon light to
those who stand at the helm OF TINS
lodge.
His life was n service OF good
deeds. He was just. courageous. up
right and fair. tender and sympathtic
of heart. with n message OF good will
TO all. and by his kindly. yet firm
manner. he ut all times drew about
him a choice circle OF friends. He
was one OF the veterans In Wyoming
Journalism. and n of the most
widely known editors In the state.
He was born September II, 1858, ut
Milwaukee, and at the time OF his
death had reached the age OF Ga
years. He attended the public
schools and learned the printers
trade in Milwaukee. In 1881 he
came TO Rawlins where ne has since
claimed his home. In 1898 he pur-
chased the Carbon County Journal

WYOMING CRUDE Will GET
The MID-C0NTINENT Price
JUSTICE Of The REPUBLICANS CONTENTION Of A
YEAR Ago IS ABOUT To Be RECOGNIZED
The SALE Of GOVERNMENT ROYALTY oils

Shortly over a year ago George E. Brimmer, then in Denver,
threw down the gauntlet to the Standard Oil Company and in u
long telegram to The Republican, took the position that through
manipulation of prices the Standard caused the Wyoming produc-
|ers of crude oil to lose millions annually. Mr.. Brimmer main
tanned at that time that Salt Greek crude was of a quality equal to,
if not exceeding. that of the Mid continent crude; that notwith
standing this fact the Mid continent oil was realizing approx
mately one third more than the output from Salt Creek; that this
condition was one of arbitrary price manipulation; that the price
of Wyoming crude was fixed by the Midwest Refining company
the people of Wyoming received no reduction in the price of gaso-
line and lubricants, which in any measure correspondent in ratio to
the drop in the price of crude.
Many other contentious were made at that time and the tele-
gram referred to was later followed by a series of articles by Mr..
Brimmer enlarging upon his original stand and making good on
every point advanced. How well this position has been and is be-
ing vindicated is shown in the following from a Denver news

Returns SHOW
ALL TICKETS BADLY SPLIT
CARBON COUNTY CARRIED BY ALL STATE and ma
TIONAL nominees EXCEPT MONDELL. COUNTY
OFFICES DIVIDED between BOTH PARTIES

AS The Republican goes to press
the returns for the general election
of last Tuesday are sufficiently com
plete to decide definitely several of
the closer contests and to make GER
tain the election of other state and
county candidates, but on one of the
most critical and important from the
tandpoint of general interest the re-
suit remains in doubt. and 1t will be
several days before the name of the
next Governor of Wyoming can be
accurately announced.
AT 2 O'Clock today. according to a
telegram from Republican headquar-
ters at Cheyenne 52l precincts cut of
a total OF 65S had reported and on
the face of these returns John w.
Hay was GIG votes behind his oppon-
ent. William b. Ross. This leaves
this most spectacular contest still in
doubt. for 1t will be noted that there
are still 1877 precincts to be heard
from, which may easily wipe out the
apparent lead OF Ross.
Aside from another very close con-
test. that of the Carbon County leg
islative ticket, to which reference is
made elsewhere. the returns show the
winners and losers with little pos
sibility of change, as the margin
shown is sufficient to pull the candi-
date across, in spite of minor changes
in the $50 precincts referred to.
IT is conceded that John Is. Ken
drick has defeated Frank w. Mon
dell for the coveted seat in the Unit.
ed States Senate and that Charles T.
Winter has defeated his Democratic
rival. II. r. Rose. for the national
House of Representatives. This will
not change the political complexion
OF Wyoming's representation in Con
gress, with the Senate divided and
with the lone representative in the
house q Republican.
The Republican candidates for Sec
rotary OF State. Frank f. Lucas;
State Auditor. Vincent Carter: State
Treasurer. John NJ. Snyder and Sup

katharine A. Morton. were all elected.
