which they returned on Sunday morn
ing of this week. the local quintet
came out victorious. Rawlins High
went down to defeat at the hands
OF the Kemmerer five by a score OF

On Wednesday night Of last week

rather slow. the final score being
Rawlins &c and Rock Springs IL.
with the exception OF one man who
played substitute on last years Rock
Springs can the whole team is COM
posed OF new players which In n
great part explains the differ
cnce in the score. Rock Springs has
u coming team and 1t Is expected
that In n short time II will again be
In the front row OF the states best
teams.
The game played OF the Green
River floor on Thursday night again
proved that Rawlins had the best
team OF the two. The result OF this
game was Rawlins 40. Green River
High 20.
On Friday night Rawlins played n
return game with the Kcmmcrcr high
team. From the score. Kcmmercr
~. RawlIns g., IL would seem that
Kemmercr had much the better
team. however, Rawiins is waiting
for n return match with the Kcm-
merer team mt the state tournament.
II is believed that in the next game
Rawlins will again come out on tho
long end of the score.

Love and S. Il. Tolliver as directors
reports that the building will be n
splendid two-story structure with a
seating capacity Of 700.
The plans ms drawn up by Architect
William Dubois of Cheyenne show
the overall dimensions as co by 1872
feet with n stage measurement OF "a
by As feet and the auditorium ap-
proximately 81 by so feet. On the
second floor. in the front part of the
building. two modern apartments
will be built along with the office
rooms OF the company and the pro-
jecting room.
1t is planned to have two store
rooms on the lower floor in the front
of the theatre, the west one of which
will be occupied by the Rawlins Lii
brary. Several applications have al
ready been made for the east store
room. Terra Gotta will be used as
the material for the front OF the
building.
The value OF this theatre to Raw
Inns can hardly be realized for II
not only means n more large beau
tiful building for the city. one more
big Item In the building line but Il
means also that competition will be
greater. Rawlins will have more
shows OF Il varied nature and that
business In the theatre line viii be
Increased. Any city the size of Raw
Inns can very easily support two
shows OF the class OF this new one
and the Strand Theatre. Tho new
theatre will be a help rather than a
dctriment TO the old theatre and II
is not being built with any spirit OF
n%ntagoniSm toward other shows in
Bawlins.
Thomas Love. who already has sew
oral shows In Wyoming towns. will
be manager OF the new theatre and
Iiawlins residents can be assured OF
the best that their money can buy
In tho picture line. II is planned TO
have several classes OF shows In con-
neotion with moving pictures.
The house that Is now on the lot
on which the new theatre will be
built Will be moved from that loca-
ton In tho near future and as stated
construction ON the new building will
begin as DOT ms tho weather clears
up enough to make building possible.
The Library Board met yesterday
with tho directors OF the Rawlins
Theatre company and made plans for
their rooms In the building. The
rooms will be built for their special
purpose. thus giving tho residents an
other proof OF the growth and prog
rcss OF tho city.

The bids which ranged from $22O,-
211 to $27l,640 were submitted by
contractors from eight different
cities. Although 1t is believed that
before all the contracts are filled
and the building completed the total
cos will amount to about S275.000.
the bid OF %S220,211 is exceptionally
low. The reports which have come
to Rawlins regards Ernest White are
to the effect that that firm is very
we'll equipped and able to carry out
the contract and has splendid financ-
ial backing.
The new high school building when
completed Will be one OF the most
convenient, modern and up-to-date
schools in the state. 1t will be a
brick building with terra Gotta ma
terial for trimming and the flooring
will be reinforced concrete with
polished maple flooring. As some of
the features of the building 1t Will
have an automatic temperature con-
troll. forced ventilation system, iron
frames for the windows instead OF
the wood frames. n lunch room Will
be provided for the students and they
will have individual lockers TO hold
their books. wraps and other person
nj effects.
Several features not covered by the
White contract but which will be un-
der separate contracts are: lunch
room equipment. clock system and
wiring. electric light fixtures. black
boards. vacuum cleaner and air fit
ers. Also the white contract does
not include the laying OF sidewalks.
