TREE EXPERT
NOW in CITY

Back before Christmas a move.
ment was started In The Lions club
which is destined to bring a great
change for the better In the city Of
Rawlins. That movement. by the
time 1t had reached the committee
stage. was known as The Planting
campaign. Its purpose Is to change
the color scheme OF Rawlins from
brown to green. Other cities no bet
ter endowed with climate and soil
conditions have done 1t and with her
new $630,000 water system bringing
a clear. pure fluid that means life
for plants and trees rather than re-
tarded growth. Rawlins Is peculiarly
in shape to make such a step this
spring.
The Lions club program reached q
definite point last Saturday when.
amid a snow storm that indicated
planting time would never be on
hand. Captain l.. Muntz. here at the
request of the club. arrived for a
three weeks stay. Captain Muntz
is a landscape artist Of considerable

can have all the cooperation which

nit: and at no cost or obligation to

ice at no cost should. according to

disadvantage is the small percentage

This genial gentleman declared
his morning that nearly n dozen va

city. with elms and members of the
poplar family prominent in the list.
Several varieties of fruit trees and

WATER STILL
PROGRESSING
TOWARD CITY

While no great difference in mile
< has been made by the efforts Of
the crew Of 25 men bringing the
new water through the lS inch main
from the collection box in the Sage
creek basin. yet the work Is pro-
crossing as rapidly as possible. In
order to mount certain inclines
found along the line as It comes
through the hilly country between
the Lambertson and Dean ranches
II Is necessary to- build up the pres
sure within the pipe. This is being
done and It is hoped this stretch
OF country will be crossed shortly.
The last half of the way will be
comparatively swift. since leaks oc-
casioned by dry pipe will not be so
bothersome when the pressure is re-
duced on the down grade stretches.
Considering this, the work OF
bringing water into town is far more
than half done. Distance covered
however. is approximately one half
the entire way.
