"RUGGLES, OF RED GAP"
is GREAT COMEDY

James Cruces Paramount pro-
duction of "Ruggles of Red Gal"
featuring Howard Horton, Ernest
Terrence and Lois Wilscn, is the at
traction at the Rylander Theatre
today and Tuesday. The story is
Harry Leon Wilson's greatest, and
the picture has only recently t-A-
ished a weeks engagement at the
Howard Theatre, Atlanta.
One might be inclined to believe
that this picture would suffer by
comparison with Mr.. Cruces "The
Covered Wagon" But although AN
entirely different story, "Ruggles
of Red Gap" is said to live up to
the high standard.
"Ruggles of Red Gap opens in
the early days of Red Gap, a typi-
cal cow-town of the Pacific North
west. With the expansion of the
commercial resources of the town
comes wealth to the older inhdbi-
tants, among them the Flouds.
Egbert is considered by the rest
of the family as socially incompet-
ent, and it is decided that it will be
for the best to obtain valet for
him to see to it that he watchese
his p's and as and to keep Egbert
continually posted as to his social
engagements.
So it is that Ruggles, one-tima

FUND SPLIT BY DISTRICTS
CARBON C0UNTY'S Share OF government OIL ROYALTY and
STATE school, Land RETURNS IS DIVIDED AMONG
The DISTRICTS Of COUNTY. S67,l996 IS TOTAL

Carbon County schools are oon to
receive s67.l99.6l as the County's
share OF the revenue derived from
state school lands and government
oil royalties.
Both of these funds have been
apportioned among the 80 school
districts on n basis provided by
statute. In the case OF the state
school land fund the s14.596.46 Is
divided according to the number OF
children OF school age as shown by
the last school census. allowing
$500 to the pupil. The statute pro-
vides that moneys from government
oil royalties, however. be distributed
according to the number OF teachers
and drivers of school buses as de-
tcrmined by reference to special re-
ports furnished the various clerks
of the school districts. Per capita
distribution for rural teachers and
drivers OF S pupil, 8 mile buses
allows $421.17 each: while n sim
liar distribution for high school
teachers OF accredited high schools
and drivers OF "a pupil. 10 mile
routes allows s646.76 each.
Districts must have properly quail
fled teachers teaching not less than
eight months in order to come in
for a share OF tho oil royalty fund.
Each OF the 80 districts complied
with these regulations In 1923 and
apportionment will therefore be
on a basis OF the III teachers and
bus drivers engaged during that
time.

Air Mail Retains
Prestige in 1923

When the good citizens Of towns
and cities along the routes taken
by the United States Air Mail planes
see these gently Swimming ships
about their daily business they
seldom think Of the long record of
which that flight Is but a part. The
air mail is more to Rawlins than
merely a hangar and a daily plane.
Here is the 1923 record established:
Last year twenty planes carried
half o million letters every day be-
tween New York and San Francisco
They did not fly by night on Sun
days or holidays. During the night
the mails were relayed on by fast
trains. Forty pilots made 1898
flights between the 16 division
points into which til. route Is d.
vided. Nearly 5000 flights were in
stormy weather OF fog. or these
only 900 resulted in delayed mails.
Crossing the Rockies they had to
climb to 10000 feet to hurdle the
continuous gales and snowstorms
sweeping the mountain passes They
seldom had to abandon a fight ex-
cept for mechanical trouble. The
time for a letter to cross the con-
tinent was cut from 100 to 80
hours.

Steady Flow Insured
By New Main System

Has anyone lost a nice pet ditch?
The department of public works
brought one into the very heart of
town last week, but apparently dis
claim ownership. And it is such a
nice. quiet ditch-ideal for a pet.
And it lays there, stark and stiff
in the cold! Won't lee take
it home? We don't want it.
But the citizens of Rawlins are
gladly putting up with the present
necessary inconvenience caused by
the big ditch running along Cedar
street. These citizens know that it
is an important part of their splen-
did new water system about to be.
Many citizens are wondering,
however, why the mains were not
attached to the present system
rather than tearing up the town.
City Engineer j. w. Wisda has eX-
planned why.
The big main from the new reser-
voir tank Southwest of the city
will enter town near the old water
works near the viaduct. From that
point it will run west on Cedar
street and tap into the main now
bringing water lTbln the pTtStll
reservoir. Laterals from this main
are already laid; for they are par,
of the existing system. Returns to
the main will be made turnout the
new system so that no dead ends
will exist in which the water is al.
lowed to stand. This arrangement;
is in line with the very latest en-.
%gineering science and will be- an
important factor in maintaining
conditions of good health for the
future Rawlins.
Another advantage in laying the
big main thru town as It Is being
laid lies in the opportunity to in.
stall fire plugs at intervals thruout
the business district that will draw
from the main or direct primary
laterals.
The ditch was dug thru to Fourth
street. where a valve will be in.
stalled and the segment between
Fourth street and the old tank test
ed out. Filling in will follow this
test Immediately and another Length
dug. the project being handled II
lengths between valves until the
big 12-in. pipe is entirely laid.
But we do wish someone would
take the ditch away: We don't wan
