RAWLINS' RATING
EXPECTED BY LACK
COMMERCE BODY

"A survey made recently of the
activities and potentialities of Wy
oming cities places Rawlins third on
the list lead by Laramie and Cas-
per, and | have no doubt but hat
our lack of a functioning Chamber
of Commerce is responsible for our
third position" declared Clarence A.
Brimmer at the regular luncheon
of the Rawlins Lions club last Thurs
day noon at the Ferris hotel. Visits
to other cities have made many men
ashamed of the laXity of the Raw
Inns business organization. Surely
every citizen should be mighty glad
because Of the newly organized body
known as the Chamber of Commerce
for that body viii work along lines
the luncheon clubs and other cviic
groups can not touch, each of which
is necessary for public progress"
These and similar thoughts were
expressed by several members rela-
tive to the new commerce body. The
utmost confidence could be imposed
in the Chamber of Commerce, it was
stated, and great things are expected
from the organization because of
new interest being taken.
Three matters of Importance came
in for discussion: the Chamber of
Commerce, the High School site, and
the question Of changing the route
of the road from the Snake river
country to run through 16 mile and
Jim Hansen's place rather than the
route considered at present.
Will f. Daley declared that the
state would never recognize the road
if it was laid out according to pres.
A,t p1nr ~ u.haraa- /, altaht h,ron

because no actual work had been
done to forbid change at this stage.
would secure state recognition and
aid. He touched upon the import
ance of this road in connection with
the oil development being made in
northern Colorado. The route pro-
posed would mean a highway from
Craig to Rawlins and great advant-
age to zach terminus, Mr.. Daley
stated.
A committee was appointed to o n
fer with the county commissioners
meeting that afternoon. 1t was found
however, that the commissioners
! had finished their business earlier
than was expected, SO that matters
will probably rest until the next
meeting OF that body.

Of the court house property which
would prevent the school district

OIL CANS BEAT
BY HANNA 1877
ig AT PARC0 4TH

The Hanna baseball team celebrat-
ed the Fourth of July by defeating
the ParcO OIL Cans at Parco by a
score of 10 to z. The bad infeld
work OF the Parco boys accounts for
the one-sided score.
The feature OF the game was the
heavy hitting Of both teams-Parco
made eight hits to Hanna's seven.
Cummings of the Hanna team pitch
ed a strong game and Boam connect
ed with the ball for a home run.
Several shifts were made on the Han
ma team in the last few innings, for
the Oil Cans seemed to be making
up for the End, 3rd and 4th innings
which were marked up with zero's.
however the earlier lead in the game
was too much to be overtaken.
Hanna has a very good team and
played . fast, clean game. 1t de-
serves q lot OF credit for beating the
fast Parco team. The Oil Cans will
play the Cheyenne U. P. Store Depot
team at Parco next Sunday after
noon. July 18th. at two thirty. The

LANDER MAYOR
VISITS RAWLINS
RE. HIGHWAY

Ed. Farlow, the genial Mayor of
Lander. spent several days in Raw
Inns this week checking over the
tourist business at this point, and in
lininBsup garages and various other
businesses dealing directly with the
tourist, so hat as much traffic as
possible will be diverted into the
Yellowstone Park over the Rocky
Mountain Highway. He pointed out
the advantages to be had from an
increased tourist traffic over this
really fine highway. and stated that
Lander and other points on the nor
thern end Of the road were consid-
ering more extensive work on this
end. so that additional traffic would
be diverted from the east and west
course to a north and south one in
GLIDING the Yellowstone Park. ANY
such diversion keeps the tourist in
this region and thus augments bust
ness which depends upon his stay,
Mr.. Farlow declared.
Lander interests will furnish Raw
Inns garages and filling stations with
weekly road bulletins. showing the
a condition of every stretch of
the highway. The first of these bull
letins. dated July 8. follows:

OIL CANS SUNDAY

Errors. poor support, poor pitch
ing, and the failure of the Rawlins
boys to get around the bases enough
number of times last Sunday after
noon at the Rawlins ball grounds
tells the story of the II to 4 victory
of the Parco Oil Cans over the Raw
Inns baseball team.
The game started out well for
Rawlins. Cullen went out at first:
Alberding walked the next two men;
a short single by Thompson brought
l.. Waite and Murphy in-then the
Parco team frightened up and no
more runs were made hat inning.
Parco failed to score the first and
second innings as did Rawlins the
second inning. In the third inning
both of the teams scored one
it still looked good for Rawlins. In
the fourth inning Parco made three
run to Rawlins none. From then
on to the end Of the game Rawlins
was eating the dust OF the Parco
team.
The new pitcher. Jones. who Raw
Inns used for the first seven innings
has played from time to time with
the Cheyenne Indians. Although
the team expected to use him for the
rest of the season. the showing he
made on Sunday did not convince the
Rawlins team OF his value, thus he
will not be used any more this sea
son.
The return game between Rawlins
and the OIL Cans will be played on
Sunday. July goth at Parco. Pros
poets are good for a better game

The test will be confined to the

Officer skeleton, which composes the
peace-time organized reserve, to be sup
piemented by such voluntary enrolment
of man power to fill uo the reserve
units as each community over the
country may decide upon for itself In
some cases reserve officers probably
will enroll volunteers and assemble
them to explain just what an actual
mobilization would require. In other
cases, the test Will consist of patriotic
meetings with the cooperation of state
and municipal authorities and civic So
cietjeS.
The striking difference between the
methods under which the United
States mobilized for the world war
and the plan worked out since lies
in the complete decentralization of
all the early stages of mobilization
now contemplated.

said provides for Individual and
