the Democrats Of both the House and
the Senate prepared to support this
bill, and the Republicans decided to
make it a Party Measure. However,
an identical bill was introduced in the
House by Walter G. Moffatt Of Ala
mosa, who has been . member Of the
House for . number of years and who
is chairman Of the all powerful Rules
Committee and q Republican. The
Republicans thereupon took up i'm
mediately the supporth Of the Bill,
which assures its passage, and so the
Alamosa Normal School Appropri-
alton Bill probably will have the dis
tinction Of having the support Of all
Democrats and Republicans in the
House and Senate.
Representative Samuel T. Chapman
Of Ell Paso county prepared an amend
meht to the Normal School bill, to
change its name to 1.-THE Moffatt Nor
NAL School," To this Mr.. Moffatt
objected so strenuously, in view Of the
fact that no State Institution had been
named for individuals. that Mr.. Chap
man did not introduce the bill calling
for the change. Mr.. Moffatt was very
insistent that nothing should be done
that would mean the elimination Of
the name Alamosa.

Rawlins as my home although l am
married and have raised a large
family who are all proud to call
Casper their home.
On opening the convention in
Rawlins | mentioned that l had
lived in Rawlins in early days and
would like to meet all old-timers.
Right there | met George Jordan,
whom | had not seen for "a years.
Among the other old-timers | met
were Henry Rasmussen, Ed. Tierney,
Ernest Durant, Billie Daley, Lille
Jungquist. John and Pat Healey,
Tom Finley Tom Jones. Mrs. John
Bangs, Mrs. Dixon and many others.
I also learned of others who were
there but did not meet them. Among
these we're VIM. Jungquist and
daughter Stella, Billie Collins, Nose
! Doze, Dan and Mike Healey, Andy
Jordan, Peter Johnson and also
Perry Smith and Tom Hanks, the
latter two being in the west so |
was informed.
Many of those mentioned above
were schoolmates of mine and l sim
cerely hope that on my next visit
to Rawlins | will not only meet
those whom | did recent but also
those | missed on that visit. Next
year hope hat both myself and
, wife will be able to visit at least
a few days in dear old Rawlins
town.
| cannot close without saying thai
| made some new acquaintance also
and among them was the daughter
of one of my best friends l ever had
and a man whom anyone would be
proud to call a friend. That mar
was Andrew McMicken and | also
knew his wife and Miss Nellie Can,
non. If l am any judge of humanity
| refer Miss McMicken to that song
which Harry Breitenstein sang at
our Legion convention, for l am sure
she is a chip off the old block"
Send me the Rawlins Republican
for since meeting again my old
friends l want to keep in close touch
with them.

picture producer in explaining why
he chose as a photoplay theme, Rex
Beach's novel, THE Spoilers
which comes to the Strand theatre
next Sunday and Monday.
THE Klondike gold rush. Mr..
Hampton went IN, was II of the
greatest events in American history.
1t developed a section of the United
States hitherto almost forgotten. 1t
developed powerful figures and pro-
duced untold fortunes. Thus 1t Is
logical that the event should bring
forth one of the most powerful
stories in American literature The
Spoilers
REX Beach's novel is one of the
best written in recent years. 1t Is
based on an historical incident and
it portrays as does no other work,
the great Alaskan gold rush. Fur
thermore it did more than n other
thing to stop the political spoilers
from wrestling the rich gold mines
from their rightful owners. IT
Spoilers was Rex Beach's first and
most successful novel and 1t de
serves a picture where modern day
equipment, technique and photog'
raphy can do it Justice
