The states have nearly all been
pretty we'll represented in Lamar
this week. We ha,s talked to gen
tlemen from dozen or more states,
and they all say there will be a big
enmigrztion west this spring.
There Is not state or territory in
the Union, that can show range cat
tie IN liner condition this spring than
Colorado. Cattle are fat and look
more like they were just starting in
to the winter than having passed it.
Colorado sent thousands of bnsh-

to potatoes will be able to supply
several states with vegetables this

An well begins the sooner We will
know how deep We hAYe to go for

Such information will be of great
benefit to the town and surrounding
country.
TIL. very best advertising Lamar
receives is made by the people who
visit the town. They see for them
selves that there Is more public and
private improvements going on,
more business, more enterprise and
more life, than in any town between
Pueblo aud Dodge City.
We call attention to the advertise
lment of Button Bros. architects and
builders. These gentlemen have
opened an office in the Godding
block and have already secured the
building of four houses. They come
here highly recommended in their
business and no doubt will do well.
Nearly every man that resides in
Bent county thinks he has the best
claim in the county and if you will
only hold on a few minutes he will
try and prove it. The fact is they
are all very well satisfied with thei'
land and nearly all are doing every
thing they can to improve their
places and make comfortable homes

xnd foundations for the reason thn
frame houses can be built in les'
