equally interesting events connected
with early day legislation and the

1t is an interesting fact, recalled
by him, that the first cupola caboose
ever built was constructed in the
shops here, under his supervision,
and on plans prepared by him, for
use of Luther Fillmore, a stockman
who became superintendent of the
Wyoming division of the Union Pa
cific, a division that extended at that
time from Cheyenne to Ogden. The
cupCla was added so that Mr.. Fill
more, for whom Fillmore station,
between Laramie and Centennial, is
named, would be able to see more
of the country in his tours of in
spection. This special caboose
now adopted as a standard model
throughout the country is SO far as
the cupola is concerned, was also
equipped with large rear windows

at present in Pullman observation
cars.
! When the big tent city of Benton
was organized in the fall of 1868,
many important railroad officials
came out from the east merely to
see Benton on the rampage. In near
ly every instance it fell to the lot of
Mr.. Galbraith to show them around.

TELLS OF MANY
EARLY EVENTS

The following article taken from
a recent issue of the Laramie Re-
publican will be of interest to Raw
linsites as MI. Galbraith was located
at Rawlins for many years and still
old-timers here.
Few old-timers have as keen a
memory or as clear an understanding
as r. M. Galbraith, who came to
Laramie with the Union Pacific rail
road in the spring of 1868, and few
had such intimate acquaintance with
early day problems and outstanding
pioneers. All of which. If merely
as an incidental, has proved of great
value to DR.. Grace Raymond Hebard
in her valuable contributions to the
literature and history of Wyoming.
Those, for instance, who read her
list of place names, as published in
Saturday editions Of the Republican
Boomerang. may recall paragraphs
initiated "R. NJ. G." by DR.. Hebard.
These paragraphs were based on in
formation contributed by Mr.. Gal
braith.
Mr.. Galbraith left for the Centen-
NAL valley country Wednesday. in
tending to look up Fred w. Geddes.

Sparks Falling On Roof Is Blamed For Destruct-

Muscle. Shoals Iease)

FLORENCE, Ala, Dec. 1.-Two Lauderdale county schools were destroy ed by fire within 24 hour period. The first blaze occurring Monday afternoon, and the other Tuesday morning. The Springfield school between Lexington and Ingrams Cross roads, was burned Monday afternoon and the Sweetgum school was destroyed Tuesday morning. The buildings in both instances were burned to the ground. The equipment in the Springfield school was total loss, but the pupils in the Sweetgum school were able to save some of the desks in the building. Both fires are believed to have resulted from sparks falling on the roof.
 A small amount of insurance is thought to have been carried, although this could not be verified at the office of the superintendent of education. The loss of these two buildings is a severe blow to the residents of the district in which they were located, but it is thought that temporary arrangements for the children during school hours can be made, and it is expected that new buildings will be erected at an early date.

ASPHALT PLANT
 WILL BE BUILT
Product Mined In MOr-
 gan County With stands All Tests
Tennessee Valley Bureaul

ALBANY-DECATUR, Ala, Dec. 2.-The unlimited rock asphalt found in Morgan county is now being utilized for the first time. Samples laid on the Moulton highway, near Albany, has proven, under the most severe test, to be excellent road material and plans are now under way to produce asphalt on 8 large scale.
 The Southern Asphalt company, with offices in Louisville, Ky, controls 2,000 acres of the asphalt land, and proposes to build a plant at Flint, Ala, about five miles south of here. The plant is expected to be completed by the first of April. It is estimated that the supply is sufficient to last 100 years under the heaviest production. The asphalt stratus is now cropping out of the ground in many places throughout the county. In making the surface of a road the rock is dug up, crushed, placed smoothly over a prepared surface and packed.
 In a recent experiment within an hour after the roller had gone over the surface a four mule team of lumber passed over the road and the naWow wheels did not leave a track. The ma terial has passed all chemical and phy- sical tests without showing fault, and every one is observing the newly laid road to see how it is going to stand up under heavy traffic.
 It is believed by experts that Nor gan county asphalt is as good a prod uct as can be procured for road build- ing and the local mines. are expecting to lead in this section in the production of this material. Heretofore all roads built throughout north Alabama have been constructed with asphalt shipped from Kentucky at exhorbitant freight rates
