.RAWL|NS COUNTRY
CLUB ACTIVE
GOLF LINKS LAID OUT. CLUB HOUSE
PLANS BEING PREPARED and OVER
90 MEMBERS SIGNED UP

That the newly organized Rawlins
Country Club is going to fill a long
felt want in Rawlins and be a huge
success has been proved already by
the ready response given the COM
mittee in the membership drive
which has been carried on for the
past few days.
The plan of the organizers called
for a membership of 100 with a
membership fee of 5000 each. At
the end of three days drive 81 mem
bers had been signed up so at a
special meeting of the committee
held last night it was decided to dis
continue the drive as the member
ship limit would undoubtedly be
reached within a few days without
soliciting further.
Memhorship in the Rawlins Coun-
try Club is proprietary and any mem
Der who decides to move away from
the city or who desires to surren-
der his membership for any reason
will be able to dispose of it to any
person en- the waiting list of the
Club. Because of this feature sev
eral persons who do not feel that
their residence here will be perman-
ent have taken out memberships as
tney reallZe tnat IN case tney leave
the city they will be able to dispose
of their memberships easily.
The plans of the Country Club pro-
vide that the benefits will be alb
solutely limited to members although
out OF town guests ma be enter
tanned by members. However, as far
as the city is concerned no one but
members will be permitted to enjoy
the benefits of the Club.
Mr.. Bell, professional golf exper,
for the Lakewood Club of Denver.
spent several days in this city last
week laying out the course and in an
interview with a reporter of the Re-
publican Sunday he stated that in
his opinion the Rawlins course would
be the best in the entire state.
The Rawlins Country Club will be
n credit to the city in every respect
and will fill a long felt want in Raw
Inns.
l This club owns 1900 acres OF
> land west of this city and in addition
: to constructing a first class golf
course will build a ten thousand dol

DIST. ENGINEER JOHNSON OF BUREAU
OF PUBLIC ROADS and SUIT.
LAIRD HERE YESTERDAY

Yesterday morning J. w. JohnsonD
district engineer for the Bureau OF
Public Roads and Leroy Laird, SUI
p%erintendent of the Wyoming High
way Commission arrived in TINS city
and spent the day inspecting the
roads in this section.
For some time past the Rawllns
Board of Trade has bee endeavor-
ing to have the road from this city to
the oil fields designated as a part
of the Federal 7 Per Cent System
but owing to the Bureau of Public
roads not understanding conditions
in this section 1T has been impos-
sible to secure the result desired.
On any section of road which the
government d~esigates as part of this
Seven Per Cent System the federal
government will cooperate with the
state in constructing to the extent of
two dollars of federal money to one
dollar of state money. In order to
properly construct this road II Is alb
solutely necessary to secure this CO.
operation from the Federal govern
ment.
The visit of Mr.. johnson and Mr..
Laird yesterday was for the purpose
of investigating the conditions
here before making a final decision.
The state Highway department re-
commended this road some time since
to the government but no action was
taken by the government so Mr.,
Laird prevailed upon Mr.. Johnson to
personally investigate the road condir
tions here.
A party comprising Mr.. johnson
Mr.. Laird, Mr.. Marks, highway en-
gineer for Carbon county. Fred
Rendle, president of the Board o
Trade. Mr.. Geo. Il. Brimmer and X

Highway Commission and Mr.. Bow
man, highway engineer for Natront
county. Leaving Whiskey Gap at
o'clock yesterday afternoon Messrs
Johnson. Laird. Cromwell, Brimme
and Bowman continued to Caspe
while the Rawlins delegation return
ed to this city.
Mr.. Johnson stated yesterday tha
he believed that this section was er
titled to consideration and that go,
eminent engineers would be her
soon to make a more thorough In
vesigaton. However. owing to tn
fact that all recommendations mus
be made direct to Washington MI
Johnson was unable to make an
positive statement as to what woult

The State Highway Department
has $4,000 available for this roa

J. Alden Was One Long
Ways From State Pen

Just how much Rawlins was in the
limelight last week was shwn IN the
great number of kilograms received
by The Republican when 1t was re-
ported in Chicago that ]. Alden Mills
formerly a student in the Northwest
ern University. was wanted by COOK
County officials in connection with
the investigation going on to deter
mine the identity of the persons re-
snonsible for the death of Leighton
Mount. whose remains We're recentl
found in a rock crevice in Evanston,
Illinois. Somehow or other the re-
port was circulated throughout the
country that j. Alden knew all about
the death of his fellow student and
that he was serving a sentence for
forgery in the Wyoming Penitentiary.
A wire from the The Chicago Tri-
bune said:
Evidence given tonight before the
Cook Couny Grand jury points to
Allen Mills a former Northwestern
| University student, now in the wy
oming State pen, as one of those re-
sponsble for the death of Leighton
Mount. a Northwestern University
student killed during the class rush
of September 1921. Mounts body
was only recently discovered. he
was killed during a class rush by
being ducked in the lake until ne
1-~wned. The evidence cited against
Mills is that the night of Mounts dls-
appearance he appeared in his dorm
atorv with his clothing all wet. The
n xt day when he heard that Noun
was missing and was supposed nave
haen drowned he became ~hysterlca
and engaged in n frantic search fol
the body. running up and down tht
shore. See Mills who is under ar
rest for forgery, tell him that he IL
accused and get his story. Also ge'
picture of Mills il possible and thu
/ story of his downfall. William Nc
Elwain and Thomas Wolfe both sig
ma nus are Mills accusers."
However, owing to the fact thai j
| Alden was not confined to the state
~penitentiary on the charge of forgeTi
or on any other charge as far al
that is concerned, we were unable Il
supply the Tribune with camera fod
der or were we. under the circum
stances, able to impart to j. A. thu
rather unpleasant n distressing
news that he was accused. Nor coult
we get the story of his downfall
IL he had a downfall.
Recent press reports state that tn
missing ex%-student was found Ian
gushing in the city prison in Akron
Ohio, and that he Is now on his wa,
to Chicago to appear before the Cool
County Grand Jury.
1t is too bad that II ]. Alden ha'
to be in prison he couldn't have bee
listed among Warden Frank Had
sells charges at the Wyoming in
stitution in this city. However, o.
second thought. we don't suppos'
that ]. Alden had any great amour
to say rs to the selection of pri
sons. Ono doesn't ordinarily. yo'
know.
Rawlns is probably the only cit,
In the United States which hasn'
at sometime or other. held in Gus
tody the elusive Clara Phillips. o
anyway reported to- be holding sam
and our one bright chance to gail
a lot OF free publicity went by tn,
boards when ]. Alden took up hi
residence at Akron. Ohio. instead o
