About $50 O'Clock last Monday
morning DR.. Rex G. Aten, who has
housekeeping rooms in the @ part
of the Masonic Temple. was awaken
ed by the smell of smoke. DR.. Aten
Immediately started to investigate.
When he opened the door of his
apartment leading out into the
Temple corridor he was almost over
come by the smoke that rushed into
his apartment. Closing the door DR.,
Aten opened a window leading out
onto the Temple lawn. Through this
window he managed to get his wife
and baby out of the burning build
ing. AS soon as his wife and baby
we're safe DR.. Aten turned in a fire
alarm.
Within two minutes after the fire
alarm had been turned in Fireman
Frank Morgan was at the scene OF
the fire with the fire truck. lmme-
diately upon arriving at the fire
Fireman Norman got the chemicals
on the truck in action and by his
prompt work with these chemicals
undoubtedly saved the building from
total destruction, Within a few min
utes after the truck arrived the fire
members OF the fire department be-
gan to arrive. Three lines OF hose
we're laid in record time and firemen
kept a steady stream running from
two lines until the fire was under
control.
AS soon as the fire was under con-
troll an Investigation was started to
determine how the fire started. 1t
was decided that the only way In
which 1t could have started was from
defective wiring. The fire started in
a pile Of wood stored in the base
ment and was undoubtedly caused by
an electric light wire burning In two
and the live end falling upon the
| pile Of wood.
The interior of the Temple was

estimated at approximately $4,000

this gas in quantities and during the

Skating RINK
CITY AUTHORITIES PREPARING WON.
DERFUL ice SKATING RINK next
TO CITY HALL FOR Children

That the City Administration is
thinking and working for the young
sters of Rawlins Is shown from the
fact that for the past couple OF weeks
work has been progressing rapidly
on an ice skating rink on the vacant
city property just north Of the city
hall.
At a recent meeting the City
Council the matter Of proper amuse-
ment for the youngsters of the city
received serious consideration from
the Board. Several propositions
were discussed but it was finally de-
cided that the best thing. that the
city could do at this time would be
the furnishing of a skating pond in
some convenient place.
The authorities authorized work
to start Immediately upon the vacant
lot north of the City Hall for the
purpose Of converting it into a skat-
ing pond. This work has progressed
rapidly with the result that, although
not entirely completed. skating is
already quite good and hundreds of
children are enjoying the novelty of
skating. Within the next week or
so this rink will be entirely finished
and the youngsters will have a skat-
ing rink of which they can all be
proud.
The city is having an investigation
made to determine whether next
summer It will be possible to con-
vert this skating pond into a shallow
swimming pool for the youngsters.
Mayor Kell and the City Council
deserve credit for the interest they
are taking in the youngsters of the
city and for the efforts they are max
ing to furnish proper amusement for

during the past summer owing to re-
duction of pipe line run and ruin
ously low prices for oil. there was a
substantial gain i'm production for
the year over 1920, amounting to
2.294,000 barrels. The total p%roduc-
ton for the State without counting
local consumption for drilling and
other purposes-just taking pipe line
runs-totals 1~9,495,0O0 barrels for
the year 1921
In the fact of the fact hat Carbon
county production was probably cur
tailed more drastically than any
other field in the state, actual pipe
line runs show a total production for
this county Of 2.195.000 barrels in
1921. OF this amount Rock River
produced 1,665,0OO barrels; Lost
