CHANGE or CITY CHdRTER

Away back IN the 8O's When Rnwlins was
Incorporated the city was granted by the
Legislature, a special charter. This charter
was anything but liberal and every admins
tration for the past several years has been
hampered by restrictions imposed by this
The changing of Rawlins from
Charter City to a City of the First
Glass will cost but very little and such a
change will bring many benefits. One bene-
fit will be the election of a a for two
years instead of one; another will be the cleo
instead of from the city as a whole. This will
mean that each section of the city will at all
have Il representative on the city coun-
ell.
No voter who studies this matter can fail
to see the need of plank No. l in the Republi-
can City Platform.

The owners of the lease on the Ferris hotel as well as the
businessmen of Rawlins now feel that the trials and tribulations
of The Ferris will soon be Il thing of the past and that within
a short time this hotel will be one of the successful business in
situations of the city.
The reason for this belief is because of the fact that this
morning Geo. w. Plummer of Cheyenne assumed the manage

of that hosiery.

FINAL PLANS MADE FOR STATE
BOWLING TOURNAMENT TO

The big State Bowling Classic
which is to open in Fondy on jan

the early entries justify the officials
in predicting the greatest state meet

sport
Cities outside of Fond du Lac are
coming stronger than anticipated
Judging from early reservations. Mill

scattering in addition to the above
will bring the real entry at this date
to about 500 teams, and the tourna-
ment city will have fully 500 teams,
which gives total of HOO teams,
with closing of entries over two
weeks away, and the early prediction
of 1900 teams will easily be fulfilled
Green Bay is not in the above list
and they will have at least 20 teams
Superior, Appleton, Amigo, Little
Chute, Kaukauna, Wausau, and West
Bend will each have five or more
teams entered, and with a scattering

|. c. and 500 Ask For
Permit to Build Line
BIG RAILROADS INTEND TO CON-
PLETE LINE TO TAP CENTRAL
WISCONSIN INSTITUTIONS

An application has been filed with
the State Railroad Commission at
Madison and the Interstate Commerce
Commission at washington, D. c. for
the building of extensions to the Hi,
nois Central Railroad and the 500
Line roads which would make line
running practically the entire length
of the state and would open up much
potential business for those two
roads.
At the present time these two
roads, which have always been more
or less friendly have unconnecting
links in the state The Illinois Cen
tral now has small line into the
state from Freeport, ILL.,. running
north to Madison The 500 Line has
branch running between Portage
and Stevens Point The, distance be-
tween Portage and Madison is about
40 miles and it would take another
stretch of about 80 miles to run north
from the Point and connect with
their line at Bradley or Heafford
Junction.
Should this physical connection be
made it would be the most direct
route from the Mississippi valley
north into Wisconsin which admitted
ly has great future before it.
While this application has been
made it is little more than conjectur
ed that ii is proposed to anything i'll
the near future. The railroads have
been carrying out retrenchment pro
gram for several years and it is
doubtful that they would expend the
huge sum necessary to make tho
connecting link until they were ab.
solutely certain that it would be a
profitable venture.
At any rate it shows that the rail
roads are looking to the future in
the gradual expansion of Wisconsin
industries but we don't believe our
citizens had better boost their prices
on available depot and yard sites yet

ROW MARGIN FRIDAY

Hitting a terrific pace and fighting
an uphill battle all the way Eagle
High nosed out Crandon High by a
two point margin on the home floor
here Friday evening, the final score
being II to 10.
Judging from previous reports bas-
ing one of the stiffest contest Of the
season, and they were not disappoint
ed Crandon always produces a strong
team. This year is no exception an
Eagle met its match when it clashed
with the Forest county boys Friday
The visitors put up five-man de-
Tense that kept the locals guessing
and it was not until the third and
fourth periods that Eagle discovered
Ison. Crandons star forward is the
king pin in their combination, and
Judging from his work on the floor
here, he is deserving of the position.
His shooting, dribbling, and ability to
bring the ball out of scrimmage
makes him a. dangerous man against
any team, and his individual work
here Friday gave Eagle something to
do every minute of the game The
Crandon quint showed excellent team
work They know their man Ison and
every play centered on him with the
result that he made every point for
his team five baskets.
Eagle played a game it can be
proud of. A. Bent, at forward, per-
formed in a manner that upheld the
best traditions Of the Bent family
and they have given Eagle High
some championship basketball mater
ial in the last few years, Arthur, a
midget in size, but making up in
speed what he lacks in weight, played
the best game he has uncovered
since making the team. His total of
points for the game was eight
three baskets and two free throws
Fsary came next in scoring, get
ting one basket and couple of free
losses. Hi played a great game, but
his opponents spoiled his shots so
that he didn't connect as often as
he usually does. His floor wotk was
good.
Rogers at center can always be de-
pended upon to take care of his man,
and with Giese, the other forward,
and Felt, the old reliable guard, Gran
don found a combination that wrecked
their scoring hopes.
The game got. rough in spots which
resulted i'll six fouls being called on
Crandon. They were costly errors
for The visitors, as Eagle succeeded
in getting four out of the six chances.
For a close game Fridays battle
was it, At no time were the teams
more than two points apart, Eagle
trailing until the last two periods.
The score by quarters gives an idea
of how tight the game was:

The crowd was the smallest ever

Poll The Chocolate
Soldier"

De Wolf Hoppers Comic opera
Company. this Summer, has given
Washington the treat of it's life, and
Washington has shown its apprecia-
tion in the phenomenally large audi
enceS that have greeted the perform
ances. The dominant factor, of
course. has been the big, jovial come
dian. whose humor and whose pleas
ant ia familiarity have. in way, won
for him the individual admiration and
esteem of his patrons.
But it has not taken long to DEM
onstrate that Mr.. Hopper is not the
whole show. He has an excellent
working company. and there is an
esprit de corps that but rarely is
found in the big road companies of
the regular season. In addition to
this. each week, some old familiar
associations in the memory of those
who have witnessed it which have
made it exceptionally delightful, and
all the offerings have been intrinsi
cally fine in music or in humor and
often in both.
This week THE Chocolate Soldier
Oscar Straus' famous old classic,
is being presented in manner that
challenges any production of it that
has ever been made in Washington.
In its setting. the rendition of it's
beautiful music, the charm of in
dividual performance of each mem
ber of the cast and the general broad
humor that pervadeS it's romantic
story, not overlooking the very excel
lent work of the chorus and the en-
semble work of the company "The
Chocolate Soldier" it is believed. will
