STREET LIGHTS
WILL GREATLY
HELP RAWLINS

The work of installing Il single
post street lights which began last
week Is progressing rapidly and it
Is expected that the contract will be
completed and the lights operating
by the 10th of October. To date a
number Of firms have signed up to
have these lights placed In front of
their places of business and it is be-
lieved that a number Of other bust
ness houses contemplate the installa-
ton of the single post lights. AS
stated in last weeks Republican, the
holes for ten lights. 30 feet apart,
have been drilled on Fourth street
between Lincoln way and Buffalo
streets--this week the work is pro-
crossing and holes will be drilled for
two lights on the corner Of II. Ras-
musson's tore on Fourth and Lin
coin Way streets, three lights around
the Elk's Home, two on Fourth
street and II on Buffalo, two lights
by the First National Bank on Buff
falo street and three by the Catholic
church.
Jack Martinez has the contract for
the installation of these lights and
he states that if there are any other
firms who wish them the firm should
notify him Immediately for it takes
about six weeks to get the cable and
other accessories and it is hoped
that a number of the lights may be
installed before the winter sets in.
The lights are being paid for by the
firm which wishes them and they are
maintained and the electricity paid
for by the city.
This is a great improvement for
the city and will be a big step for
ward in making the down town dis
trict well lighted and attractive.
Rawlins has always been handicapped
in this respect and the Improvement
will he appreciated by the citizens
of the city. The lights are single

that lights may be placed around

having played together for several
seasons. In all due justice to the
Laramie team we believe that they
have a very good chance to again
win this years state championship
for they have the team work, the
necessary punch and fighting ability.
Considering all this the Rawlins team
deserves just that more credit.
Only W or three of the Rawlins
team have had any previous foot
ball experience, the large majority
of the team, in about ten days, have
had to- learn all the signals. the
technicalities of the game, as much
as possible, and they had before the
game only onc-half hours tackling
practice due to the lack of a tackling
dummy which came the day before
the game was played,
As would be expected most of tho
Rawlins players were up in the air
most of the game and were wonder
ing what was happening, but at
that they were successful in making
four down and holding the Laramie
team to a relatively low score-many
seasoned university teams have been
beaten by a much larger score than
