FOOTBALL GAME
NEXT SATURDAY
WITH LARAMIE

The day. Saturday October 18th.
Time 2:30 s at II r d afternoon
Place, Rawlins rodeo grounds. Teams
Rawlins High School and Laramie
High School. What for? To play
one of the best and hardest football
games Of the season.
The first football game in the his
tory OF the Rawlins High School
was played In Laramie on September
goth with the Laramie High School
and the final score was So to 0 In
Laramie's favor. However, before
this game the Rawlins team had had
only about one weeks practice, the
members Of the team barely knew
the signals and they knew practic-
ally nothing about tackling. Since
that game the team has played three
games; two with Rock Springs (both
of them were won by Rawlins) and
one game lost to Superior by a close
score.
Next Saturday afternoon the resi-
dents of this city will have another
chance to see the high school team
in action against one of the strong
est high school teams in the state
IL will be a chance to see just how
much the Rawlins team has i'm
proved in the season. In past games
the Rawlins team has shown won
derful fighting ability and now we
will see how much of a run the team
will give the Laramie boys for their
! money.
The few who saw the Rock
| Springs game in Rawlins a few weeks
age are now, almost to n man, con
verted football fans and they are
| willing to back the team to the full
limit. At next Saturdays game the
entire city's population should turn
out and support the team and give
il the backing it deserves.

RAWLINS DOWN
TOWN DISTRICT
WELL LIGHTED

This week has seen the cement
pouring and the erection of a number
Of single post street lights on 4th and
9Th street and Buffalo street between
4th and 9Th streets. Jack Martinez
who has the contract for the erect
ing of these lights. states that the
orders for about 35 more lights are
in his hands and when they are set
up most of the down town business
streets will be exceptionally well
lighted. The single post lights will
give as much light as the cluster
lights and If it is found advisable
to make the lights brighter all that
has to be done is to put on a larger
light globe.
The cable for the lights, which
have been set up, was shipped from
New York on October Bird and it is
expected that it will be here some
time this week. AS soon as it comes
it will be laid, thus the residents can
be assured of the lights being in
operation within a very short time.
The cable for the additional 35 lights
has been ordered from Denver and it
is also expected in a short while.
To date 90 posts have been erected
and with the 35 more the down town
district will indeed take on a differ.
ent appearance. Very few of the
business houses, which are located
where it is of advantage to have the
lights placed, object to installing the
lights. 1t is hoped that in the near
future the whole down town district
will be adequately lighted. These
lights are being installed at an ex.
ceptionally reasonable cost.

Butler Will Be Chairman

President Coolidges announcement that he
will recommend to the incoming national COM
mittee the selection of William NJ Butler for
the craftsmanship of the committee has met
the universal approval among the republicans.
The manner in which Mr.. Butler has conducted
the primary campaign in behalf of Mr.. Cool
idge is assurance itself that his management
of the presidential campaign in the fall will be
equally as successful
I This early move was made necessary by the
fact that Chairman Adams had announced,
after many conferences that he desired to re-
tire from the committee craftsmanship just as
soon as the new committee was organized. By
the early selection of Mr.. Butler there will be
no break in the actual work of the campaign
and everything will continue to run smoothly
Under this arrangement the party will have
the benefit of the wise counsel and experience
of Mr. Adams until after the convention, and
also the expert advice of Mr.. Butler at the same
time. Both gentlemen have already had many
conferences and there will be complete adjus-
tment of plans.
While the right is always conceded a pres
idential candidate to name his national chair
man yet Mr.. Coolidge made it very plain when
he recommended Mr.. Butler that he was mere
ly suggesting the consideration of his name
and that this suggestion was not to be consid-
cred binding upon the action of the committee.
Mr. Adams has given three years of his valu-
able time to the work of the party, at great
personal sacrifice He will continue to have the
confidence and good will of the members of the
republican party, after his retirement, as he
richly deserves.
Mr.. Butler is not given to sensational method
IN his work, not to personal exploitation He or
gained the pre-convention campaign in very
quiet but effective way and his work speaks
for itself.
