Belt remembered, that when Lamar
was started, south eastern Colorado
was cattle country. 1t was thought
the country would never be fit for
anything but range cattle. There
was no farming except in q small
way, no irrigatlng bitches except
private ones that " ere small, no towns
except La Junta railroad town, and
Las Animas cattle town. The
country was making no advancement,
and there was nc home but for the
cattlemen or people in business for
their accommodation. Be it further
remembered when Lamar was started,
a United States Land Office was es-
tablshed, that is of great benefit to
every man living in this part of the
state. A good trading point was es-
tablished at Lamar. The Koen,
Henry, Black, Bed Rock and other pri-
yate bitches have been completed at
an immense expenditure of capital,
furnishing work for the settler and
making their land valuable and sala-
BILE, as we'll as preparing the coun-
try to be the equal in production of
any in the world. Lamar advertised
the country at an expense of thou
sands of dollars, thereby inducing
immigration, and is entitled to the
credit of settling eastern Colorado
with the people excepting the cattle
men who now reside here, and the
credit by such action of turning q
cattle country into farming coun-
try. BY advertising the country, and
by building up Lamar others were
induced to engage in like enterprises
and other towns were started who
assisted in advertising Colorado, and
by their united work have made this
part of the state known to the world,
and has advanced it to place where
no backward step will ever be taken,
but the country will increase in pop
ulation, valuation and grandeur un-
til we can defy successful competi-
| ton. Lamar has not accomplished
! all of this, but the town made the
start, and has been the prime mover.
To doubt this Is to doubt that had
Lamar not been started, the country
to-day would have remained just as
it was ten years ago. Now one not
prejudlced will have to admit this
statement in full, yet we occasionally
hear man say what has Lamar ever
| done for the country. 1t had better
be said, what has Lamar not done.
To be sure Lamar has not furnished
the capital for all the successful en-
terprises to be seen now in eastern
Colorado, but how many such enter
prises would ever have been under
taken if Lamar had not been started
These facts should be thought of and
considered when Lamar asks favor
of the people of the county.
