PAVING CERTAIN
RAWlINS BUSINESSMEN FIRMLY Be.
llEVE THAT BEST INTERESTS OF
The CITY DEPEND ON Paw.
ING OF The STREETS

After learning of the material
benefits that have been derived by
cities with less population than has
RiWllnS, where paving has beer con
Structed. an overwhelming sentiment
i'll favor OF paving Rawlins is devei-
"plng. SO strong is the interest at
this time that nothing less than a
thorough investigation is going to
satisfy properly owners and business
men. From all that has been learned
TO date every town and city in the
United States that has installed paw
ing il not only satisfied. but are ex-
tending the paved areas from the
business centerS 20 the residence sec
lions and in some cases to the utter
most confines of the town or city
limits.
At a public meeting held in the
City Han last Thursday evening, Mr..
W. +. Johnston. field engineer for
the Portland Cement Association of
the United States. informed the
gathering that in one instance here
in Wyoming the business men who
were renters signed Il petition for
paving in which they volunteered to
pay increased rental per month as
soon as the paving was constructed.
This is said to be one of the man.
similar cases and a committee here
is promised confirmation of the
statement.
When nearly every progressive
town and city in the nation, as we'll
as the national government is lot
only preaching but practicing the
doctrine of paving. it is time that
Rawlins joins the progressive pro-
cession. Rawlins is on the threshold
or unlimited expansion and prosper
ity. Nothing will demonstrate her
faith in the early development Of the
varied natural that abound
and surround us as will paving. When
it is decided that Rawlins is to pave
a substantial part of the business dis
trict. that very moment will the
march OF progress begin. A fuel
gas line will no doubt follow If not
accompany a paving program. Indus
tries that are under consideration for
Rawlins at the present time cannot
help but be favorably influenced
thereby. No longer will state news
papers be able to refer to this City
as Showing signs Of awakening from
its Rip Van Wrinkle slnmber." No
longer will the Union Pacific railroad
assume a passive and tolerant atti.
tude as respects the progress or pros
perity Of Rawlins. Whenever Raw
ms shows that it is helping itself
just SO soon will this mighty rail
road come to lis with an earnest in,
Ouiry as to how it can best assist
This statement is not an assumption
IT Is history they world over
Wherever there is Intelligent develop
ment of Natural Resources. there
you will find wealth from every
quarter OF the globe flowing to it
Cities NEVER grow. Cities are bull
by MEN.

their desire to deprive the owners OF

do intend to see that such places are
occupied by legitimate businesses and
that the law Is not violated in them.
The Luxus Corner was also num-
bered among the places to be closed.
but a couple of months since, Jas.
King. the proprietor, closed his soft

of the fact that this place Is now

DISAPPEARS

About three weeks back a man
named Jas. Vaughn was sen to this
city from the Denver offices of the
Continental Supply Co. This man
went to work here as bookkeeper for
the Continental Supply Co. He was
thoroughly competent and from all
indications was entirely. trustworthy.
Last Saturday e. E. Jones, man
ager Of the Continental Supply Co.
store in this city found that it was
necessary for him to go to the oil
fields. AS some of the employees OF
the company here generally want to
draw some money en- Saturday eve
ming Mr.. Jones signed six checks in
blank and left them with his book
keeper SC that he could write the
checks out for the amounts desired
by the different employees.
On Monday morning the book
keeper failed to show up for work SO
Mr.. Jones started an investigation.
He discovered that the six bank
checks were missing and a call at the
bank showed that some Of them had
been paid by the bank.
The bookkeeper in a couple Of in
stances had filed in the stub Of the
check with the amount Of some bill
4uQ t0eu N6Q TAKEN the CuecK q
made 1t out to himself for whatever
amount he desired. In one case the
check stub showed that so cents had
been paid for freight while the bank
reported that this same check had
been turned In to them for &1Ol.lo,
made payable to Jas. Vaughn. An
other check given to Vaughn by Mr..
Jones for seven-fifty had been raised
to $3.50. The Luxus Cafe holds q
check for $500, Frank Boyd a
couple of checks amounting to about
$4,000, while other business houses
have also checks ranging from $4,000
to $1,000.
As soon as the crime wal reported
to the sheriff's office q search was
started for vaughn. It was found
that he had left ON No. Sunday
morning for Salt Lake City. Deputy
Sheriff Mills left Immediately for
Salt Lake In an endeavor to asSist
the Salt Lake officers in locating, the
man. No trace OF Vaughn has been
found-in Salt Lake City and 1t IL be-
'lieved that the mar went right
through>the city.

CITY FINANCES
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF the CITY OF
RAWLlNS EXCELLENT ON FIRST OF
YEAR. MAYOR kELL AND The
TRUSTEES VERY ECONOMICAL

Mayor Kell and the Board OF
trustees have made a remarkable
record in the administration Of city
affairs during the past eight months
Heretofore it has been exceptional
when 1t has not been necessary to use
practically all the money that comes
in from taxes the first of the year in
paying up back bills.
During his administration Mayor
kell has exerted every lendeavor to
get the city finances on a solid basis.
He has cut expenditures to the very
minimum with the result that on
January 1. 1922. the city owed APP
proximately $4,000, most Of this
amour being December running ex-
penses. All bills against the city
have been paid and the city has a
nice balance to go ahead with during
the present year.
Mayor kell and the Board of
Trustees are preparing a budget
showing just what income the City
has and what expenditures are neces-
sary 1t Is the intention to spread
the income out over the year. spend
ing in each month just the proper
proportion due for that month. BY
using this plan the city will not spend
all its in three or four
months and be broke the balance OF
the year. The money will be spread
out. owe the entire year.
On January first every cent due
the city from water rents had been
paid and there were no delinquents.
The water rents for the past few
months have been averaging close
to $4,000. This in spite of the fact
that no revenue is being received
from the state penitentiary. This in
stitution paid $3.50 per month to the
city until a few months since when it
began using its own water supply.
In addition to placing the city
finances on a business basis the pres
ent administration has inaugurated
many other things that have been of
benefit to the city. A skating rink
has been constructed, the laws of the
city has been enforced. a paid fire
man hired to always be on the job
and keep the fire truck in good con
dition, a paving district contemplated
and several sidewalk districts order

PURCHASED X-RAY MACHINE

The Hospital Board for the Memoir
ial Hospital of Carbon County at a
meeting yesterday afternoon author
lied the purchase of a modern X-Ray
machine for use at the hospital. This
x-Ray will cost approximately $4,000
and Is n Of the most complete ma
chimes Of the kind on the market.
There is an X-Ray room at the hos
pftal. but owing to the lack of suf-
ficient funds the Hospital Board has
not been able to purchase the right
kind Of an X-Ray heretofore. The
Board has been consistent in its
In its stand that nothing will be pur-
chased for this hospital until it is
possible to secure the very best. 1t
Is for this reason that an X-Ray has
not been purchased before this as the
Board would not put In a cheap and
INADEQUATE machine.

I. w. DINsMORE RECOVERING

I. W. "Dinny" Dinsmore. who was
operated uron at the Memorial Hos
pital three weeks since. is almost en-
tirely recovered and will be able to
leave the hospital Saturday next
Mr.. Dinsmore is certainly a booster
for the new Carbon county hospital
and he states that in his opinion it
would be impossible to conduct a
hospital any better than is being
done by the Carbon County Hospital
Board and by Miss Parmalee, superin-
tendent of the hospital.
The many friends Of Mr.. Dinsmore
will be much pleased to learn that he
is almost entirely recovered and that
he will be ION the job" at Dunlap &
Dinsmore's offices on Monday next.

Craig and bAGGS
People in EARNEST
GREAT INLAND empire unwilling
TO Wait five YEARS FOR BUILDING
Of MOFfAT tunnel and YOKE
their POSTERiTY WITH TAX

Although there is a chance of an
extra session of the Colorado legis-
lature which might consider favor
ably such legislation as would permit
those sections of the state so desired
to vote themselves into an improve
ment district, for the purpose OF
building the Moffat tunnel. the pos,
sibility of success is so remote thai
there is hardly a chance left with
which to juggle with. 1t is incon-
~ceivable how any plan could be de-
vised that would be equitable to the
Inland Empire property owners
when it anne to fixing its share OF
the cost of such a gigantic scheme
from which Denver would benefit al
most 100 per cent. The slightest
percentage charged to N~orth-central
Colorado sections would saddle a tax
burden upon the territory involved
that would be staggering for this and
perhaps future generations. The
%consoling thought for southern Wyo-
ming sections is that building of the
tunnel would be directly beneficial
to it without cost. as no legal method
exists whereby such indebtedness
could be contracted. On the other
hand it could and probably would
consent to contributing toward a
railroad branch from Craig through
Baggs connecting with the Union
Pacific. The Craig Empire carried
the following article last week:
RAJ Wins Is the latest town to take
an interest in the probable trade ter
ritory Of Northwestern Colorado and
Snake River, Wyoming. A movement
I build a branch line from the Union
Pacific to the Carbon county metrop-
oils is now taking shape in the Board
of Trade Of the Wyoming town.
Rawlins has long had its eyes on
the trade possibilities OF this section.
Rawlins owe its being to the fact
that it Is a distributing point ant
railroad center. The chance to an
e this new territory is one that
will not be passed up lightly.
1t has been conservatively estimat-
ed that a branch line OF the Union
line to Craig for less than two million
dollars. The route would have a
water grade practically all the way
and would have but little snow to
contend with. The small grade would
insure the hauling OF maximum ton
mage at minimum expense.
A connection with the Union Pa
cific has always been the dream OF
Northwestern Colorado citizens since
the earliest day. They have felt that
to join with this great system would
be to bring all the markets OF the
world to their door. Not only would
they be able to buy to advantage
from Omaha and Kansas City. but
markets for coal and farm produce
could be found both In the Mississippi
valley and on the Pacific coast.
The fact that chances for the Moi
fat tunnel are again looking bright
has been n spur rather than a detri-
ment to the boosters for the Union
Pacific connection. They realize that
ave should work be started on the
Moffat tunnel this year 1t would be
a number of years before 1t could be
completed. And Northwestern Colo
road and Snake river needs an outlet
right now.
1t seems probable that the Rawlins
Board OF Trade will first take the
matter OF a connection with Craig up
with Union Pacific officials. II no
, 1922-01-26

satisfaction can be gained there. the
various bodies OF the city probably
will unite in a campaign to Build
Your Own" By constructing the
road as a public enterprise. with the
Wyoming territory aiding on the II
end and Northwestern Colorado and
the Snake River country helping on
the other. and with no promotion ex-
penses to pay. it is figured that the
road would be a paying proposition
from the first. The steps taken by
the San Juan basin in Southwestern
Colorado to secure adequate trans
p%ortation by their own efforts has
stimulated the Union Pacific boosters
to added efforts.

HIGHTRIBUNAL
HOLDS 8O-CENT
GAS RATE VOID
Supreme Court Sustains Rul
ing on New York State
Law,

WASHINGTON. March e.-The so-cent
gas rate law If New York State was de-
clared invalid by the Supreme Court Of
the United States today. The decision
OF the court vas read by Associate Jus
tice McReynolds.
The New York State law OF 1905 re
qulred' the supplying Of gas to portions
Of New York City and Brooklyn at 50
cents a 1000 cubic feet. The Federal
District Court held the price connsca-
tory and the law Invalid.
The Supreme Court OF the United
States sustained this decision in the
main, saying the District Court had
abundant grounds on which to make its
decision.
The court dismissed the suit brought
the suit brought by the State OF Texas
challenging the legality Of certain sec
lions Of the transportation act Of 1890
holding the case should havo been
brought first In a Distrit Court
Texas attacked provisions OF the act
providing:
Railroads can cease operations ana
tie up their lines without consent Of the
State Legislature.
The railroads cannot be constructed or
extended without the consent OF tho iu-
terstate Commerce Commission.
That railroads consultations can be
effected in State without the consent
Of State authorities.
The Texas intrastate railroads may be
authorized without State consent to in
crease their issues of certificates.
Texas also contended the provisions
Of the act creating the railroad labor
party were unconstitutional and the ac-
lions of the board was void
