COLORED BALL PLAYERS
ORGANIZE FAST BALL TEAM

The city's colored baseball team
has taken the field-white folks II

make yo' selves known. The 1898
baseball season Is on and The Raw
Inns Federal- dusky hued experts
OF the Great American Game-are

In southern Wyoming = black or
white, yellow or brown. Bring on
your ball tossers and let the great
old cry OF kill the umpire" once
moro be carried eastward by the
wind that daily comes out Of the
west.
In numbers at least, the Rawiins
Federals can be compared to a ma
jor league team. Two catchers
have been found, either one reported
to match the famous Johnny Killing
in everything but completion. Five
pitchers have been lined up to whirl
the wicked curves and fast onesoand
two Of the colored lads r working
their heads off for a jb on first
base. Two more Of the string are
out for shortstop and 1t will be a
hard race to see who will scoop EN-
up in this section OF the garden. A
dark hued rival OF the famous
Johnnie Evers will watch second
base and a colored boy, whom they
say makes Henie Groh look like a
rank Bush Lacquer, will take care
of third base. The outfield will also
be well cared for but It Is not ex-
pected that the three boys back of
the infield will get much to do
that is unless all five Of the pitch
Ing staff should be off their stride
on the same day. And then, on top
Of this imposing array of baseball
talent. there are six first class play
ers who will warm the bench as
utility layers. Some string of play

CIVIC PRIDE

With the advent of spring the thoughts of our citizens natural
ly turn to house cleaning, yard cleaning, tree and lawn planting
as well as to the repainting of old houses and sheds.
In every section of the city new houses are being erected and
before summer is over there will undoubtedly be hundreds of
new homes in the city.
These new homes will be newly painted and will present a
beautiful appearance. Many of our home owners are also i'm
proving their homes as well as the general appearance of the
city by having their houses reprinted.
Rawlins has always been a city of home owners and our PEG.
pie have worked long and under difficult conditions to raise trees
and lawns. Now, however, with the certainty that we will have
plenty of good water within the next few months, our people are
taking even more interest in identifying their homes and pre-
parations are being made for the starting of many new lawns.
Hundreds of trees will also be planted this spring.
Those who, have not decided to paint up and cleanup are
urged to do so: Let's make of RawEns not only the best business
city in the state but also one of the neatest and cleanest.

Will Be Paved

MEXICALI, Jan. 6.-Thc board OF
trustees of the city of MeXicali have
authorized the building Of several
miles of roadway along the line Of
the Inter-C California railway. from
Pacualitos to Hechicera, and CON
tractors interested in making con
struction bids Yesterday viewed the
ground and made estimates as to
the probable cost.
Bids have been asked to be sub
mitted to the board of trustees this
week, and are to be opened and COR
tract awarded at the next regular
meeting of the board.
Hechicera is expected to become
one of the most important stations
on the line Of the InterC California
railway in the future, it being al
most in the center of the route be-
tween Mexicali and Yuma, and with
the Imperial Valley Development
Company lands at this place, known
as the Cudahy ranch, and which has
recently change hands, which arc
to be intensively developed in the
near future, it is expected that this
little hamlet will make considerable
growth within the next year or two,
and in view of these expectations,
it is deemed vitality necessary that a
new roadway be built to this place.

Hunting De Luxe
in Camp Wagon

CALIPATRIA, Jan. 6.-Hunting
de luxe was exemplified in the big
REQ "camp wagon with which Il
number of Orange County men are
enjoying a duck hunt near Calipat
ria this week. The owner is r. f.
Proud, of LaHabra, who states that
a camping trip is awaiting the lucky
person who selects a name for the
wagon" which is to the owner s
liking. The outfit was made to
order by the REQ people and while
it is as large as small house, it is
compact and convenient and accom-
modates a party of four with com
fort, Mr.. Proud was accompanied
by J. G. Sargent, Mr.. Jackson, and
Mr.. Fullerton, all of Orange Coun-
ty.
AS the duck season draws to n
close, hunters are swarming in by
the hundreds, and dozens of ears
pass through the city streets daily
either bound for Mullctt Island or
one of the nearby duck clubs. while
a good many take their chances OF.

| gated fields and sloughs, which

COTTON SUCCEEDS
HACKETT AS HEAD
OF LOCAL AGENCY
Entire Auto Fraternity
MOurns Death of
Hackett

C. G. Cotton, formerly manager of
the San Diego branch of the Davies
Overland Company, has arrived III
FL Centre to take temporary charge
of the local branch of the company.
While it is not yet definitely settled,
Mr.. Cotton may remain here as per-
manent manager. Due to the heavy
volume of business the local branch
is doing, it was necessary to send
an experienced man to take the
place of Fred Hackett, following his
sad death at Brawlcv last Monday.
Mrs. Hackett will probably remain
in the office here.
None of Fred Hackett s many
friends in Imperial Valley were
more shocked or grieved to learn of
his untimely death on the race track
at Alamorio last Monday than his
competitors in the automobile bust
ness in Ell Centre. Coming to this
city about three years ago, when the
automobile business was in the midst
of terrible slump, Mr.. Hackett
took hold of things with determin.
alton, and by sheer force Of char
acter and hard, consistent plugging,
kept the local branch of the Davies
Overland Company as busy as any
of the other automobile houses dur
ing the lean days of 1920 and 1921.
Immediately upon his arrival here,
Mr.. Hackett made it his business to
become acquainted with other auto
mobile men doing business and at
once made himself solid with them
as one local dealer expressed it.
One of the other managers in
speaking of Mr.. Hackett, said,
Fired was not only q business go
getter, but he was also a prince of
good fellows and made friends wher-
ever he went. 1t was easy for him
to make friends and those he made
he kept. He certainly will be missed
among the boys here in FL Centre,
all of whom were glad to know him
as friend and as a competitor, who
played a hard game and shot square
at all times

America as q nation leads the
world in almost every line of en-
deavor Business economists, soci-
ologists and analytical experts sit
up nights finding reasons why this
is so.
We do not claim classification I'M
der any of the above two dollar
words, but we can put two and two
together.
Americans have one Unborn char
acteristc not found in like degree

That characteristic is business acu-

From Tonowanda, New York,

himself up in business with small

One day neighbor bought Il lot of
old railroad ties with the intention
But they were of oak and while con-
demned under the railroad COM

condition was stubbornly good. In
fact, ii looked for Il time as though
the purchase was going to be a
white elephant on the neighbor s
hands. He told Tony that 10 cents
a piece would be a fair price for
cutting them into blocks, making
two cuts per tie, and if he would ar

WORLDS SWIMMING
RECORD LOWERED

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-TWO world S
swimming marks were lowered in
the Illinois Athletic Clubs open
tank meet here last night.
Johnny Wiesmuller, world s 200
yard free style champion, lowered
his own record of 2:lS % by 4 %
seconds. Weismuller, pressed to the
limit by Oliver Horn of the !. A. c.,
swan the course in 2:l4 flat.
Dick Howell, schoolboy natator,
swimming against Norman Ross,
former tank champion of the coun-
try, won the 440yard free style race
in the record time of 1903 40.
Imperial Valley press., 1923-01-06

Tony studied hard on the problem,
thought about it over night and in
the morning decided to add TO his
investment. He knew that his
Speed Wagon was self-contained
power plant; that idea he had seen
worked out before. But he had
some original ideas about hooking
up the saw outfit. When he had
finished his portable saw attach
ment it was mechanically right.
The neighbours ties were cut in
record time-in fact, the output ran
as high as 125 ties per hour, which,
by a simple mathematical reckoning
shows that the Speed Wagon s
hourly earning power was raised to
! $3.50.
Saving railroad ties is but incl
dental to the many duties that Tony
exacts from his Speed Wagon and
saving attachment. His services
are in great demand by farmers in
the country near Tonawanda, for
aside from cutting their wood and
timber, he hauls it for them too.
The change from saving to deliv-
cry is only a matter of a few min
utes. This change is effected by
removing one king bolt from the
saw rig tongue, lowering rear of
truck off the jacks and replacing
pulley with the rear hub cap.
Mr.. Richards calls the outfit his
Travelling Saw Mill" and says
that his saving equipment has been
busy every working day during the
mast six months
