association and has secured a club
which they think will be able to
successfully content with any club
that can be trotted out in the terri
tory. What's the matter with Raw
Inns having a team like she had a
few years ago, and knocking them all
out of the box? Their material is
here to do it.

The Rawlins Republican says
that the Pacific Short Line won't get
through Wyoming for three or four
years" quotes the Bessemer Journal,
"if ever, and on the strength of this
is talking of building a road north
from Rawlins to the soda lakes on
the Sweetwater and the oil fields.
This Is a feasible route. Brother f.,
but we would like to know where
you get your information from re-
garding the Short Line. Your paper
Is the first one we have known to
intimate that the Short Line will not
build. We look for them to have
men and teams at work near the
laSes within twelve IN 1ths The
