Lamar at the Encampment.


Lamar cut quite prominent figure at
the annual encampment of the Colorado
and Wyoming department. Of the G. A.
r and Womsns' Relief Corps. The To-
cal branch of the Womens' Relief Corps
ranks up near the head of the list, and the
ladies who represented Lamar at the en-
campment were warmly congratulated
on the standing of the Corps and the en-
ergy and interest manifested in their
work during the past year. They are
greatly encouraged and will aim to in
crease their work during the coming
year. Kit Carson Post also ranks well in
the department as is evidenced by the
honor conferred upon them. When it
came to the election of the department
officers for the ensuing year, Comrade C.
C. Goodale, in his usual telling and eff
fective manner, nominated Comrade II.
A. Billow for Junior Vice Commander,
and his election was made with una
nimity that was quite a tiattering COM
pliment to our genial and popular Cap
tain. He bears his honors and receives
the congratulations of his friends in his
usual happy manner. Lamar has good
reasons to feel proud OF Kit Carson Post
and the local Womsns' Relief Corps.

The rherrans-Mississippi Congress.

The Trans Mississippi Congress, which
will convene in Denver, May 18th, 1891,
is to be entirely non-partisan and bids
fair to be Of great Importance to all the
country west of the Mississippi river. AS
many of our people probably do not un-
derstand the purpose for which it was
called. we will publish the questions to
be considered. All the delegates should
attend and give this movement all the
assistance possible, as it is an effort to
unite the people of the west tor the pro-
motion of their common interests.
Among the question to be considered
will be: Legislation affecting commerce,
transportation and finance; Improvement
of waterway, lake, gulf and Pacific ports;
Markets for western products; Promo
ton of manufacturing and agricultural
interests; Irrigation and reclamation of
arid lands; Western mineral lands and
their development; Cause and effects of
business com mbinations and trusts; Reci-
procity and international trade extension;
The Indian question and opening of In
dian lands, and such other subjects as
may be worthy of consideration.

Fun for the LAWYERS.

The suit of the Lamar Land and Ca
nal Company Us. Craddock. which occu-
pied the county court two or three days
this week, was decided Wednesday
morning by the discharge of Mr.. Grad
dock. The case will now go to the dis
trict court and be settled on its merits.
1t was bound to go there anyway and
this added expense of nearly s10o costs,
assessed to the county was unealled for.
We suppose the Democrats are keeping
tally and will charge all these items next
fall to the fact of having a Republican
Board of Commissioners. how is it
