CAPITALISTS ARE
FURNISHED RAILROAD DATA
ACTIVE CAMP Align Being CONDUCTED IN FINANCIAL
CENTfRS FOR NECESSARY BACKING TO EXTEND
NORTH and south ROAD THROUGH RAWLINS

The possibility, which is more than remote, that the city
of Rawlins will shortly become an important junction point
on the Union Pacific systems main transcontinental line,
which will be the case if the present plans of eastern capital
lists fructify, has very naturally aroused intense interest among
the forwardlooking business men of this city.
Responsive to the request Of banking interests in New
York City for detailed information regarding the resources of
this section which may be depended upon to produce freight
tonnage and passenger traffic, the Chamber of Commerce has
forwarded the following preliminary outline:
, 1925-08-20

Starting at the Sweetwater river,
or at the north boundary of Carbon
County and extending south, are To-
Gated the most extensive cattle
ranches in the state Of Wyoming.
Thousands of cattle are raised each
year and shipped to the East. There
are many agricultural possibilities.
Irrigation can be secured from the
~Sweetwater river and other tributary
streams.
South of the Sweetwater district
are located the Ferris and Seminoe
mountains. where deposits of gold.
silver. lead. arsenic. and a mountain
OF iron have been found. T h e S e
are all tributary to the North and
South railroad. These materials are
isolated from transportation at the
present time. and. with this proposed
railroad constructed through this ter
ritory. properties which show evil
dences of being exceedingly valuable
would. in all probability. be develop
ed.
South of these mountains Is sit
uated the Lost Soldier oil field.
which is second to Salt Creek In the
production OF oil in Wyoming. In ad-
dition to this you will find the
Wertz, Mahoney Dome. and Ferris
oil and gas fields. Those fields are
in their infancy and thousands OF
tons OF material must be hauled into
this section during the course OF de-
velopment. The freight on same will
amount to several hundred thousand
dollars each year.
South OF these fields and In the
vicinity of Rawins. valuable deposits
OF coal. glass sand. building stone.
mineral paint. and other ~undevelop-
ed exist.
"Rawlins is a division point Of the
Union Pacific railroad. having a
population Of six thousand progress
i've people. At the present time. II
Is recognized ~ the largest sheep
raising and shipping point In Wyom-
ing. II is ut the junction OF the
Lincoln and Rocky Mountain High
ways. and Is the landing station OF
the Transcontinentai Air Mall. II
has splendid public buildings. a plen-
tiful supply of good spring water.
available for the development Of in
dustries, and an abundant supply OF
natural gas.
Located as Rawlins Ia. on the
main limo Of tho Union Pacific and
division point on this line. II Is quite
probable that many fruit shipments
would be diverted over the North
and South railroad.
III liberalization OF the North
and South railroad Ia ever neces-
sary. power dam sites are available
IN tho North Platte river within a
fcw miles of this proposed route.
SHOULD further extension OF this
railroad southernly be desired. other

culture. metallic minerals. and conl
IN the Rocky Mountain region would
DO available between the Union Pa
cific and MofYat railroad.
1T IL our desire to help you In
every way possible In furthcring the

A CLASSY PARADE
Rawlins Rodeo was officially open
ed this morning by an extremely
creditable parade. which besides in
dicating the care and effort which
have been given all preliminary ar
rangements by the committees in
charge. showed clearly that the show
this year was to be. as predicted, big
ger and better than any of those
preceding.
The parade, which marched over
the principal downtown streets
through a solid mass of humanity
which lined the sidewalks, formed at
the corner Of Fifth and Buffalo

the Rawlins Band assembled in front
OF the City Hall and played delight
fully for the watchful walters. The
band has come In for a great deal
or sincere praise for its part in the
iirst day OF the Rodeo celebration.
all of which is well deserved. The
city of Rawlins has reason to be
proud of its band and the opinion
was frequently expressed this morn
ing that 1t should have the vigorous
support and encouragement of every
citizen.
Finally the grand marshal. Tom
Weadick.w no is also master of cere-
monies at the Rodeo arena. gave the
order to let 'er CO. and she went.
The parade was led by the Rawlins
band, which played martial music,
followed by a decorated automobile
which bore the heads OF committees
which had been in charge OF the
rodeo thus far and who were to see
the affair through to a successful
conclusion.
The next detachment consisted of
the horseback contingent, more than
so horsomen. mounted on COW ponies
n armed with reatas, as they call

and hats OF varied gallon capacity.
