GREAT STRIDES MADE
BY THIS CITY NOTED
by a FORMER RESIDENT

l.. A. Richardson, of Des Moines.
was a visitor in the city the latter
part of the week and while here was
piloted about by Chas. Miller, a
staunch friend of former days. Mr..
richardson has not seen Rawlins for
many years and needed some one, as
he expressed 1t, ito keep him from
getting lost" so great has been the
change.
He is now superintendent of mo-
tive power for the Rock Island Lines
and was especially interested in find
ing the site of the blacksmith shop
once run by his father-in-law, Jim
Candlish. He spent Saturday calling
on old friends.
This is the first time Mr.. Richard
son has been in Rawlins in 81 years.
His father was n prominent official
on the lines of the Union Pacific in
Wyoming and the young man early
decided to- take up r~ailroading and
with that end in view he went to
Evanston where he secured a posi-
ton as mechanic apprentice. After
completing his apprenticeship he re-
turned to this city and was employed
as a j"ourneyman in the local shops
n ii was here hat he married May
Candlish. daughter of Jim Candlish,
whose shop was then located on the
ground where The Republican office
now stands.

Rev. H. B. S%chultheis, who has re-
Gently arrived to fill the pastorate' of
the France Memorial Presbyterian
church, and who is as yet naturally
to a considerable extent a stranger
in IL midst, will doubtless be warm

He has asked The Republican to
publish the following Greeting as
being an expression of his attitude,
hopes and aims when entering upon
his new duties:
A Greeting
This is a personal message to the
folks of Rawlins, to- those who are in
terested in the building up of Gods
Kingdom here upon earth, and to the
boys and girls who are walking in
the footsteps of their elders. BY
far, it is not a simple event to come
as a stranger into a new community,
to learn the ways of the people, and
adapt ones self to local conventions
and interests. Yet here we are, and
already we have been serving as
best as we know how. 1t behooves

BOYS
WILL RECEIVE
HOLIDAY GIFTS

Christmas Day may seem a long
ways off, but the Red Cross, ever on
the alert to perform some service
for the boys who year the uniform of
their country, in distant lands as well
as at home, are already busy in see
ing that our soldiers shall have a
Merry Christmas.
While it may not be universally
known the United States has men of
the regular army, navy and marine
corps stationed and doing duty in the
remote places of the earth, such as
China, Samoa, Siberia, as well as in
Il actual possessions like the Philip
pines, San Juan, Hawaii and Alaska.
Last week the local chapter of the
Rec Cross, through a committee APP
pointed for that purpose, completed
the preparation of more than a score
of Christmas bags for the boys over
seas. These bags are nearly uniform
in contents and contain articles not
easily procured in out of the way
places, such as pocket knives. tobac-
co pouches, diaries, mechanical pen
ellis and sharpeners, playing cards and
puzzles, etc, etc. Each article is
wrapped in fancy paper to suggest
Christmas and contains a return pos
tai card, addressed to the Chapter or
individual sending the token, read
ing: please let us know on this
card if you liked the bag"
The sending of these Christmas
bags is a regular annual function of
the Red Cross and has been done
aver since the war. The expense at
tending the holiday greetings is
borne by the treasury. The Christ
mas bags were on exhibition for one
day at the stationery store of Brown
& Lahrman.

Picturesque Figure
OF Indian Fighting
Days Dies in Denver

A great deal of local interest was
shown in the report last week from
Denver of the death If Aurelius
Mills, brother of former undersheriff
William Mills, now a resident of En-
campment. Aurelius Mills was better
known in this section as Smoky"
Born Jan. 81, 1S47, in an Iowa
village, Smoky" Mills, ever as a
boy, found life too tame for his lar
ing spirit. He induced his father and
mother to pack up their few posses
sions, hitch up an old covered wagon
and set out for the mysterious west.
At the time Smoky" was barely II
years old, but, being stalwart and
brave, he was prepared for the hard
ships of a pioneers life.
In 1865, near Central City, Colo,
Mills began prospecting for gold in
the mountains. Despite his lack of
success in the search for pay dirt,
Ihe engaged in prospecting and min
ing from time to time during all
his early and middle life. Cripple
Greek, Victor, Leadville and Central
City were scenes of his activities.
Driving stage coaches and fight
ing Indians and holdup men were
other ventures Of smoky In 1863,
when % years old. he began driving
between Rawlins and Lander, a big
eight-horse coach. Attacks by bands
of hostile Indians were frequent oc-
currences.
Holdups, too, kept the drivers job
from becoming monotonous. Several
times smoky" almost lost his life in
gun fights with highwaymen whom
he tried to keep from robbing his
coach.
In 1894, Mills wen to Denver
and there he lived until his death.
He became a members of the city's
fire department twenty-seven years
ago, and was the first man to drive
the big four-horse fire wagon which
was bought for the department about
that time.

was placed under arrest by the
sheriff's office and turned over to

at Cheyenne last week. The specific
charge against Steele is the theft of
an automobile he is alleged to- have
taken from Geo. Baker at Encamp-
ment, near which place he "a EN-
ployed for a time.
After leaving Encampment Steele
drove to Laramie and Cheyenne. In
the latter place he is accused OF hav-

Judge to Rule on
Constitutionality
of Evolution Law

WINCHESTER, Tenn, June z2.-
The question of whether or not the
Tennessee anti-evolution law is un-
constitutional can and will be decid-
ed in the circuit court at Dayton, pro-
vided the attorneys in the case OF
John T. Scopes, who will go on trial
there July 10, for violation OF this
law, ask for decision on that legal
point.
This was the declaration made here
by Judge John Tate Raulston, who
will preside over the Scopes trial.
The judge said, IF the court should
rule that the law is unconstitutional,
the case then would be finished inso-
far as the circuit court is concerned,
and the next step would be for the
attorneys to appeal to the supreme
court"

lies whether their experience in grow
ing cotton could be Of any value 10
Soviet Russia and, if so, whether they
could apply it on Russian land The
answer to this inquiry was that such
groups are greatly desirable and that
their group will be given a tract OF
fertile land in Mugan (the Republic
Of Azerbeidjan), but at the beginning
only a group OF not more than one
hundred families will be admitted. The
cotton growers of the United States

EXPOSE GRAIN
COOP AS TRUST
PROFIT SCHEME
Tried to Unload on the
SkepticaI Farmers
BY CARL HAEsSLER,
Federated Press,l

The inside ls beginning to leak out
about the S26,ooo,ooo Grain Market
Ing Co., "the farmers own company"
hailed in the capitalist press year
ago as an outstanding example of CO.
operative endeavor. While the finan-
claI writer's tossed their greasy caps
In air the farmers who were expected
to come across with the cooperating
stuck to their blowing and talked
about the big wind when the com
pany's stock statesmen approached
them.
The Grain Marketing Co., according
to its principal promoter, was an I'M
loading scheme, hastily got up when
It seemed that the McNary Haugen
bill had a chance of passing thru
the congress. The bill did not pass
and the unloaders are not unwilling
20 take back their property, particu-
larry as they found no place where
the unloading was good.
Matter of Profits.
This is the conclusion that seems
to lie under the surface of the un-
usually frank statement of Nanny
Rosenbaum, the high jinx of the pro-
posed cooperative, who put the grain
elevators of Rosenbaum Bros. and of
the Rosenbaufn Grain Corp. into the
pot. Armour tossed in his grain cor
poration and so did the Kansas City
firm of Noland- Merrill Co. Says
Rosenbaum, a Chicago grain specula-
tor:
Last year we were looking at the
McNary- Haugen bill. If it passed it
meant the federal government would
be in the grain business. We had
properties and didn't wish to see their
value destroyed. So cooperative or
ganization was formed by farmers and
by us for all farmers. Now if the
government goes into the grain bust
ness the government will have to
compete with strong well establish
ed cooperative organization, any pro-
fits which go to the farmers"
To Take Property Back.
What this really means is that the
promoters would have got a big price
for their shaky business with the far
mers holding the bag when the gov
eminent plan got under way The
farmers didn't bite, the bill didn't
pass and things look pretty rosy again
for Armour, Rosenbaum, and other
friends Of the farmer.
The $4,00O,000 expected to be drawn
out Of the farmers thru stock sales
to make good on the elevator options
by August l, is nowhere in sight. 1t
usual all around with the American
looks very much like business as
Farm Federation's grandiose co-opera-
tive scheme unmasked as an emer-
gency unloading device that is to be
scrapped since the emergency feared
By the grain gamblers did not mate

half Of this demand is supplied by
mines controlled by the consumers.
"The railroads" says Stewart, ARE
the greatest consumers of bituminous
coal; the iron and steel industry is
probably the next greatest, and yet
the extent to which these two princi-
pal consumers replenish their stocks
from mines uncontrolled or uninflu-
enced by them is very small OF the
coal produced in the shipping mines
of Illinois in 1924, 22,4O2,214 tons or
31.9 per cent went to railroad com
panies direct from the mine, and if
we take the mines that operated the
greatest number of days we find their
output going exclusively to railroads"

very dark. one or the Cnlnese gun
boats challenged it thinking it to be
an opium runner. The customs boat
ignored the command and attempted
to proceed on its way.
Customs Boat In Wrong.
The crew of the gunboat convinced
of its suspicious opened fire imme-
diately with the result that the Gus
toms boat was we'll riddIed with bull
let's and one of the party on board, q
Britisher, was wounded.
This was the incident which occa-
stoned the alarm on the part Of the
local consular body.
There are several aspects Of the
case which 1t would be in order TO
mention here. In the first place, II Is
obvious even to the novice in the
question of military or naval law that
the customs boat was in the wrong.
Since the Whangpoo river is at least
nominally, Chinese territory, the Chin
ese gunboat had full jurisdiction over
this area; hence, the customs boat
should have arrested its course and
declared its identity. Failing in this
important measure the customs boat
was, naturally, fired on with the re-
sulting injury to one of the passen-
gers.
Eighteen Foreign Wsrshlps.
Another interesting fact. is that
there are no less than eighteen battle
ships, British. American. Japanese,

Thus the 9,49S miners who had a
chance to work as much as 200 days
in 1924 were dependent for about
three quarters of their market on the
railroads.
"As consumers mines increase,
either in number or capacity" says
Stewart, "the outlet for truly com
mercial coal is restricted"
The increase in the number of con-
sumers' mines is to growing extent
connected with the development OF
public utilities. The greater use OF
gas and electricity in industrial plants
and homes means that the consump-
ton of coal will be largely centralized
in giant gas and electric plants. These
plants are today co-ordinated by a
few big public utility trusts which
are buying and operating their own
mines.
The tendency shown by Stewart
suggests, therefore, that the stabiliza-
ton of the industry may come thru
its consolidation under the public
utility combines, to the practical ex-
clusion of all but few operators for
the open market.
