the stitching was not there. These
rows of stitching on the back of the
glove correspond to the fourchette
pieces between the fingers. and in the
old days these pieces were continued
along the back OF the hand. and fancy
braid or stitches was used to hide the
seams. Now when there Is no longer
any real need for this fancy touch on
the back Of the glove. the custom still
persists.
So. too. can we trace the origin of
the clock or fancy stitching on the
side of stockings. Long ago in the
days when stockings were made Of
cloth. seams were run along the sides
OF the stockings. The ornamentation
was adopted to hide the ugly seams,
and today 1t is mark Of style to have

To Develop West
ern Carbon County
Announcement Made of Railroad to Be
Built from Craig. Colo, to Con-
meet with Union Pacific.

According to Earl w. Reader, a
Dixon, who was a business visitor In
Rawlins Monday, the opening up of
the great inland empire of north
western Colorado and the Snake River
valley, of southern Wyoming, will soon
cease to be a fond dream and become
an accomplished fact, and that vast
territory, the wealth of which has
been bottled up since this country was
first settled, by the lack of transporta-
ton facilities, will be connected by
iron rails with the markets of the
world, says the Rawlins Republican.
Mr.. Reader, who has been for years
one of the prime movers in an effort
on the part of ranchers. mine owners
and banking interests, to procure a
railroad outlet for the rich products
of that section which would enable
them to compete on equal terms in the
great central markets both east and
west, is authority for the statement
that n private corporation, not f.
nanced by any of the transcontinental
railroad lines, is now prepared to be-
gin construction of a branch line from
Craig, Colorado, to the Union Pacific
main line.
While details as to names, amount
of capital and other matters are with
held for the present. pending the con-
summation of certain preliminary ne
gotiations, all Of which will be given
out fully ut the proper time, 1t may
be stated authoritatively hat the com
pany which proposes to 90 ahead with
this epoch-making public improvement
is amply provided with the necessary
funds to complete the construction Of
the branch line from Craig to the rails
of the Union Pacific, at some point in
or near Carbon county.
This same group Of capitalists in
itiated, financed and installed the
great irrigation project at Twin Falls.
Idaho, n of the most complete and
successful Of Its kind in the world.
This fact should be borne In mind in
connection with the railroad project,
as ii is the purpose of these empire
builders to have the construction OF the
railroad and the organization of ir-
rigation projects go hand in hand. so
that II vast acreage Of fertile land may
be brought under cultivation to provide
additional agricultural tonnage for the
new road.

High School Plans
Talked at Meeting
Effort Will Be Made by Trustees Of
District 9 to Work out Plans
for High School Here.

Many topics of interest We're dis
..ssed at the annual school meeting at
"a G school house Monday afternoon,
chief among which was that of an up
to-date high school for Saratoga, and
it was gratifying indeed to the local
trustees to find the school patrons
unanimously in favor of the project.
AS a result of the plans formulated at
h meeting. the board will do all in
its power the coming year to bring
about the construction in Saratoga Of
a new school building to house either
a district of consolidated four-year
high school.
j. ID. PaulsOn, who now resides in
Denver, told of his experience during
the past two years in providing high
school facilities for his children, and
brought it home to all other parents
what their troubles and expenses were
going to be like when their children
had passed out of the present grade
school. He showed that, although he
is n of the heaviest property owners
of Saratoga, had we bonded the dis
trict for twenty to thirty thousand
dollars to build a high school, it could
not have cost him as much in twenty

sioner BRUCE Nowlin says that he is op-

Wyoming.
What we hope and mean TO do IL

to buy $1,000 worth Of hay this winter.
This can be lone by throwing open
the Teton country for hunting. If
the elk are shot at over there they will
naturally divide and drift toward the
