EDITOR TRIBUNE: Having no.
ticed a report OF your suferings, l
feel called upon to offer few
words OF consolation, but | am in
clined to think that you yield too
readily to the influence of women.
II one lady subscriber could break
up your whole establishment, and
send you adrift in this cold and
cruel world, wanderer over the
face of the earth, what would have
happened if two women had stop
ped their paper? Do try to rally
and think what We have to be
thankful tor-the Philippines, for
instance, and some other islands.
The days OF an editor are shor,
and full OF trouble. His cares and
his snares are many, but he should
toll on and faint not, knowing
that II he is faithful to the end the
community will reap the fruits OF
his labors. II is to be hoped tha,
you will survive this terrible shock
for if the light of your paper should
cease to shine in La nnta, dark
ness might cover the iace OF the
earth. A SUBSCRIBER.

to make the necessary observa-
tions. The chief OF the sigma. SER
vice at Denver has promised to
furnish the local observer with
daily forecasts of weather condi-
tions providing the branch is es-
tablished at La Junta. The neces-
sary apparatus to equip the local
Office will cost in the neighborhood
OF SIoo, and this amount will have
to be raised by private subscrip-
ton. The location of weather
observer at this point would be of
great benefit TO farmers and stock
raisers in this vicinity, enabling
them to make preparations for
storms and sudden changes in
weather conditions, which some
times cause them great losses.
