LEGION TEAM
BEAT
LAST EVENING

The American Legion Fred Dun
can Post No. 22 basketball team left
this city yesterday afternoon and
played the Saratoga town team on
the latter's floor last night. Raw
Inns won the game by a 80 to II
score. The members OF the Legion
team returned to Rawlins last night.
Although the score proved the
game rather one-sided. the report IL
that Saratoga put up n good game
and made II interesting for the Raw
Inns boys. "Goog' Engstrom. one
OF the Legion's forwards. hit his
stride and rolled In n large number
OF baskets. This was only the sec
ond outside team the Saratoga quin-
tet has played this season, thus It
Is believed that In a few weeks that
team will be n strong opponent.
About ten boosters from Rawlins
made the trip to Saratoga with the
Legion team.

DOUBLE-HEADER
BIB. GAME HERE
TOMORROW MITE

Tomorrow evening in the high
school gymnasium the Rawlins high
school girls team will play the Sara
toga high school girls team and the
Rawlins high boys second team will
play the Saratoga high team. The
game has been called for eight
O'Clock and the admission has been
announced as, adults 25 cents and
children Is cents. The season tic
kets which include only the seven
games that we're scheduled at the
time the season tickets were issued
will not admit the bearer to the
games tomorrow evening.
Last Friday night Rawlins resi-
dents had their first chance to see
against Hanna highs girls team. To-
morrow evening will be the second
time this team has played an out
side team. 1t is hoped and believed
that both the boys and girls will win
their games.
Although several members Of the
boys second team have played in
games in Rawlins so far this season,
the squad as a whole has not ap-
peared in action against an outside
team. This Will give the fans an
opportunity to see the material that
is in line for next years high school
team.
Very little information has been
received in Rawlins on the Saratoga
teams, but it is believed that the
four teams tomorrow night will be
evenly matched, thus the games
should be exciting and interesting.
Tomorrow night the Rawlins high
school first team will play the Uni
versity Prep team at Laramie and
on Saturday evening a game will
be played between Laramie high and
Rawlins high.

GAME LAWS TO
BE HANDLED BY

One OF the principal provisions in
the program of the Wyoming state
legislators hat will be of interest
to many residents of this county Is

pletely remove the fish and game
commission of Wyoming from poll
tics. Kleber Hadsell has been in
Cheyenne several times in the in
terest of the local Game and Fish

three Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis, the commissioner to retain his
position as long as the supervising
board saw fit to keep him there. The
six men would be appointed by the
governor at the rate of two every two
years, each a%ppointee to have a 8.
year term, except at the first. when
1t would be necessary to appoint two
members to 2-year terms and two
to 4-year terms.
Recommended changes In the sea-
sons includes:
The shortening OF the fishing sea
son. which would last from May 1
until November Is. instead Of from
April l until November 80.
The closing Of the sage chicken
and grouse seasons until 1927 in
Laramie, Albany, Goshen and Ma
roma counties.
The closing of the season on
moose and antelope until 1927.
Open season on elk and mountain
sheep until November Is. in place
OF the present earlier season.
Open season on deer from Novem-
Der l until November Is, instead OF
the present season, which Is earlier.
Changing the fish law to read that
a fishing pole must be held in the

from setting out more than one line
at "A time.
Increasing the legal size trout
from 6 to 7 inches, the number limit
remaining the same.

greatly reduced.
The case was heard by Judge Ken
nedy of Cheyenne. Morse Brothers
were represented by Denver attorneys
and the Platte Valley residents were
represented by l.. E. Armstrong of
Rawlins and Attorney Ellery of Chey-
enne. George Austin, sheriff of Car
bon county. and for many years SUI
perintendent of the S. & Il. railroad.
was a valuable witness at the hearing
held in Cheyenne.
The decision of the court was of
very great Importance to the resi-
dents of Carbon county for the S.
& e. taps n of the richest irrigated
valleys in the county. There is no
doubt now but that application will
be made Immediately to the Inter
state Commerce Commission by the
Morse Bros. Machinery & Supply Co.
to abandon and dismantle the road.
1t therefore behooves every citizen
of the county to use every endeavor
to assemble all data necessary to
show the growth and development of
the Valley and especially tributary
to the Saratoga and ~Encampment
railroad, not only to show the ma
terial growth but to capitalize the
future by setting forth all of the
resources of the county that are
destined to be developed In the near
future. such as the timber. the mines
the coal to the south of Encampment,
the increased production of hay and
grain, and the new irrigation pro-
jects. all of which would tend to
make mor permanent the railroad
business.
Without attempting to criticize any
resident of the Valley. 1t seems that
there is too much inactivity and lack
of interest in perpetuating the enter
prise. We often fail to appreciate
the Importance OF advantages that
we have until after they are taken
away from us. Now that we have the
road, let's keep II, and patronize 1t.
This applies to every citizen of the
county. as well as to those who live
in the Valley. Ii would seem to be
good business for the stockmen along
Union Pacific. all things being
equal, to buy hay in the Saratoga
Valley rather than elsewhere, in or
der to patronize this road and give
relief to the Valley. that is now
needed.
II goes without saying that II the
road Is dismantled the taxes all yer
the county will be increased. and the
valuation of the county ma
terially decreased.
This Is only an incident as com
pared with the loss OF service to the
many citizens along the line Of the
road.

vanced to an engineer and he re-
NAMED in that capacity on the rail-
road until about 1894 when he re-
tired from the service and entered in
business for himself. Several years
ago he returned to the railroad again
as stationary engineer in the power
plant in the local shops, which po-
sition he held at the time OF his
death.
Mr.. Johnson was about 16 years
old when he came to this country.
He came directly from Denmark to
Wyoming and most of his time in this
state has been spent In Rawlins,
where he has always been highly re-
spected and loved by a large number
of friends. In 1884 he married Miss
Maggie Miller and to this wedlock
four children were born. Mrs. Chas.
Johnson. Mrs. l. C. Miller. Arnold
and Marley Johnson. These children
all fully grown. have always lived
in Rawlins and three OF them are
married and have children of their
own, Marley being the only unmar-
ried son
Although Mr.. Johnson has been
suffering from s~cirrhosis of the liver
for some time, he was not taken ser
iously Ill until DeceI- Der 22nd. He
remained at his home until January
18th when 1t was thought advisable
o remove him to the hospital. His
condition was such that he continued
to fail while In the hospital and his
death occurred At sos on Sunday
morning Of this week.
As a member Of the B. p. o. Elks,
No. 609. the funeral services were
conducted by the officers of this or
der. The Erk's ritualistic services
were very impressive and the large
crowd that attended the funeral was
indeed In perfect sympathy in the
sorrow Of the loving wife, children
and relatives OF Mr.. johnson.
The ~pallbearers were all brother
Elks and old-time friends of the de-
ceased. They were: f. M. Tierney.

that a small amount OF gas had been
encountered as well as q showing of
oil. 1t is expected hat the top of
the first Wall Creek sands will be
struck this afternoon or tomorrow

Indications for striking oil in this
well are exceedingly favorable and
the directors are very optimistic over
the chances of getting oil in the Wall
Creek sands. 1t is stated that the
oil showings In this well are great
ly more favorable than in either Of
the two gas wells in Hatfield No. 1
company.
Record time has been made in the
drilling OF this new well for the
drilling was started about the middle
OF November and II has progressed
faster than in most any other we'll
that has been drilled in this section
OF the country. The drillers have
had considerable cold and disagree
able weather to contend with. how
ever. the work has been pushed at
all times until now the well Is down
to about 1915 feet.
Hatfield No. l company for the
month OF December sold to the Parco
refinery about 10000, 900 cubic
fee of gas and for the month OF

cubic feet. In a short time that COM
pany will be out Of debt.
The stockholders as well as the
directors OF both companies are very
much pleased and elated over the

TOURIST CAMP
SITE SELECTED
THIS Extend

At the regular weekly meeting of
the Chamber Of Commerce held Mon
day night Of this week in the office
room in the bank building, Jerry
O'Driscoll appeared before the board
and made application for the position
as camp ground tender for the new
camp which will be built in a few
months. The site of the new grounds
will be selected sometime the latter
part OF this week. In the meantime
the several sites will be thoroughly
inspected and gone over. AS q fur
Their report by the camp ground COM
mittee on the information regarding
the pay feature Of the new camp. the
reports from many other cities who
have the pay grounds find that q
large percentage Of the tourists de-
sire the pay grounds and most Of
them take advantage of the privileges
offered. Most OF the cities are great
~ in favor Of the pay grounds. In
all probability Rawlins will have the
pay grounds as well As the free
grounds. Although no definite
charge has been settled upon. II Is
believed that a charge of about SO
cents a night will be made for the
use OF the pay grounds.
1t was decided upon at the meet
ing Monday evening that inasmuch
as the Chamber of Commerce Is an
organization OF service. another fea-
ture would be added to the Chamber
which will greatly help the residents
OF Rawlins. Within a week or so
It is expected that the organization
will have an employment agency OPP
Grating. This service will be free
OF charge and II Is hoped that every
one will cooperate with the Chamber
of Commerce In putting the PROPOSE
ton across II is suggested that the
businessmen sen In all their calls
lo,r- help wanteu. Also any person
~kho wants work should file his or
o name with the Chamber OF Com
merce. In this way an index can be
kept and the agency a worthwhile
service. With the construction pro-
gram started In this city in n week
or so. the employment agency should
be a great help to the many resi-
dents who are now out OF work.
The advertising committee is now
collecting Information for n card and
bulletin which will be published SOC
This committee will meet the latter
part of this week and push through
the program OF selling not only the
city OF Rawlins. but the county and
state M well.
