RAWLINS BAKERY
INSTALLING Big
FIREPROOF OVEN

To care for a business which has
grown virtually 500 per cent in the
last siI months, The Rawlins Bakery
is now installing a huge $500 oven
which Will bake at capacity 10000
il pound loaves of bread in twenty
four hours If necessary. This oven
will accommodate AGO similar loaves
at one baking. 1t is to be construct
ed of heat resistant brick and other
fire proofing materials. AS evidence
of the success OF its insulation over
the metal lined and cased oven now
in the bakery, Mr.. Peter Sill declares
that his fire insurance rates will be
cut one-fourth when the new bread
and pastry machine is completed.
There will be a white porcelain front
on this important equipment, which
will be the first step in making what
has come to be known as the Sun
light kitchen" type of bakery. When
other improvements are complete
Mr.. Sill and his brother George plan
on partitiouing off the retail space
from the bakery proper with heavy
glass, SO that customers may look
directly into the shop where their
purchases are manufactured. When
this has been done the local bakery
will be as modern as any in this
region, and a manufacturing unit of
which the city may well be proud.

GEO. RIFORD
IS KILLED in
LOS ANGELES

Word was received in Rawlins
Tuesday morning of the sudden
death, presumably from an accident
in the switching yards where he was
at work, of George Riford, former
ly of Rawlins. He died at the home
of his father, Charles E. Riford, 1341

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred HOFFMAN and
Roy Riford left Rawlins Tuesday
evening m No. 10 and will be pres

The Riford family came to Rawlins
in 1889 from Iowa, and both the

gagged in railroading most of the
time since. George was a member
OF the local Elks lodge, in which or
ganization he has many friends who
sorrow at his sudden death.
George is survived by his sister,
Mrs. Fred HOFFMAN, two brothers,
Jim and Roy, and by both parents.
No details of the fatal accident are
known in Rawlins, but it is believed
that his injuries were sustained
while at work in his position of a
s~witchman. Funeral services and in

LANDER GROUP
STAGES INDIAN
POW-W0W HERE

Descending upon Rawlins in ar
entirely peaceful fashion, as their an
cestors did not do in the memory of
some of the old timers among us, a
dozen Shoshone Indians put on a big
pow-wow here last Friday in the in
the Yellowstone National Park.
These Indians had Just returned
from a six months our of Europe
where they had furnished back
ground for THE Covered Wagon"
Original plans for that tour included
six weeks upon the Continent. but so
popular had been their entertainment
that both picture and Indians stayed

he had taken part in the filming Of
that pictorial history of the Great

the production. AS the picture was
shown in European theatres the band
OF Shoshones were busy ON the out
side.
The Lander party was in charge
of Ed. Farlow, Mayor of that city.
and l.. l.. Newton. editor OF the Wy

dozen Lander Kiwanians. who had
been in attendance at the gigantic
TX" convention in Denver. had join

"Rawlins very often loses sight Of

LOCATED IN NEW
CORNER QUARTERS

Work Of furnishing the store
space recently vacated by the Leo
Roberts Barber shop on the corner
Of Fifth and Lincoln Highway was
completed last week. and the Army
Goods Store extended its holdings to
include that space. The two smaller
spaces just south Of that property
on Fifth street, are being retained
by the store for storage purposes,
SO that the new move is simply an
expansion to care for increased bus
mess.

ter for discussion at Thursdays meet
ing, Outstanding of which is the
release Of a very desirable property
for public use and giving the county
and city a real headquarters at low
cost to each. In other words, Raw
Inns, Carbon county, and School Dis
trict No. 3. would then operate in
but two properties rather than three,
and the value of the third would be
split equally between these public
enterprises.
Fortunately these enterprises are
made of the same group of citizens,
in all effect. and there will be no
price kiting and playing for adj
vantage when the big Zeal off,
II that is decided upon. Should the
new high School be placed upon the
present court house site this COM
munity would have a group OF pub
lie buildings forming a dividing line
between commercial and residential
sections. Nothing could be more de-
sirable. We ace a big project and
one in which anyone studying the
situation can not but be in favor.
That being the case only one thing
can prove a real barrier, and that Is
inertia - an unwillingness to take
a hold and put the program over"
Mr.. Fleischli. Rotarian and guest
of the Lions club, was asked to ex-
press his views. There is no Ques-
ton OF the wisdom of such a move
IL the thing can be put across. The
District should certainly not erect
a quarter of a million dollar build
ing which can not be added to. es-
pecially If the school population will
outgrow such a building in only

site for the new school and feel that
the Rotary club will not be much
out of line"
Mayor Perrett and the president
OF the Board OF Education, DR.. f. A.
kell, were not present q THE Lions
meeting, but ave since declared
themselves strongly in favor Of the
project. DR.. Kell declared that he
never had been in favor OF placing
such an imposing building upon SO
restricted a site. and that he con
sidered the twelve votes cast against
the bond issue Monday night as a
criticism against the Second and
Buffalo street site. He promised
every consideration of the school
board in working out absolutely the
best plan. 1t is the plan of hat
body, he said, TO invite one repre-
sentative each from the Rotary.
Lions, Woman's. Delphian. p. o. Il.
clubs and the Board OF Trade to
every school board meeting during
the time the new school is being
planned and built.
Mayor Perrett said that he had
had enough grief from short sighted
practice in public affairs, and that
he liked the plan for the reason
that II recognized the fact that Raw
Inns and this county would grow.
IF anyone had told me when 1t was
built hat the old part Of the present
high school building would be too
small | would have thought him
crazy" he said. Let's go mighty
slow while we are planning 1t all
and then fast when the contracts are

At the conclusion OF the Lions
meeting the following committee
was appointed to investigate the
situation. formulate plans, and re-
port to the board OF directors: A. j.

Located in the same fine ley
building as the Riviera Theatre at

dance lover, and with music such as
given Saturday by the S~erenaders

A deal of great interest to certain
business interests of this city was
consumated Monday between H.
Anon, seller, and Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Setback, purchasers, when the Fash
ion Shop stock, fixtures and lease
changed ownership.
The new management assumed
charge Tuesday. Several lines of
distinctive ladies ready to wear mer-
chandise are being introduced in
Rawlins by the new owners and
indications are that this shop will
prove an aggressive bidder for local
and county business.
Arrangements have been made
with Mrs. Theo Kasmerchak and
Mrs. Tobias whereby these two well
known business ome of Rawlins
will continue in charge of the mil

the proposed issue. Vhat the vote
was decisive is taken as indicating
that this district is aware of the
drastic need for additional school
facilities and Is willing to face high
er taxes to see that need remedied.
During the reading of the report of
the auditing committee 1t was
brought out hat the school census
taken last April showed a school
population of 1907 as against but
1905 one IA previous.
Prior to the vote upon the bond
issue $4,000 was voted for use of
the school board, this sun to be used
for temporary expansion of school

carry.
Nominations for two members to
be elected to- the school board in
cluded the names of 1. ]. Rendle
and l.. E. Armstrong to succeed
themselves. and C. A. Brimmer. The
FIRST ballot elected l. ]. Rendle and
disclosed a tie between Armstrong
and Brimmer. with 55 votes each.
Another ballot was taken upOn these
two. with the result tina Clarence
Brimmer was elected on a vote Of
48 a. against AZ for Mr.. Armstrong.
An organization meeting OF the new
school board was held Tuesday even
ing at the High School building.
DR.. r. A. Kell was there elected
president of the board; J. w. Wisda.
vice president; C. E. Brimmer, clerk;
and A. F. Thode, treasurer. Vice
president and Treasurer we're re-
elections. Mr.. Rendle. retiring pres
ident, declined the honor Of that
position during the coming year.
Mr.. Rendle called the annual
school meeting to order. with l.. E.
Armstrong assisting him as secre-
tary. Minutes Of the previous meet
ing we're read. followed by the treas
urer's report from Mr.. Thode and
the auditing committees report. rea
by Mr.. Armstrong. These reports
were found acceptable.
Mr.. Armstrong explained In de-
tail the real estate transfer made
when the school board purchased
the remaining portion Of the half
block It now owns at Second and
Buffalo, stating that after the deed
had been made out for $4,000 Its
delivery was held up by a represent

tiations were made. and the final
sum paid the estate owning the
property was $4,000, hut to hasten
delivery Of the deed to the school
district the sum OF $4,000 was al
lowed to stand In the deed. This
is entirely legal, and Mr.. Armstrong
exhibited three cancelled checks OF
$1,000 each as proof Of the sum paid
for the property. Explanation was
made since n rumor had gone the
rounds that the board had shaken
somebody down" for $4,000, Mr..
Armstrong declared.
