There is to be a meeting of the
stockholders OF the Fort Lyon canal
1t Las Animas next Monday. Many
matters of Importance will come
before the meeting, and there will
undoubtedly be large attendance
from this part Of the country, OF
those who are interested in the ditch.
The sheep feeding proposition has
assumed quite large proportions and
upwards of $500, 600 worth of lambs
have been brought here and will be
fed for the market. This business
opens up a ready sale for the pro-
ducts in the feed line and its value
will be better appreciated as time
goes on.
The Gardner house at Las Animas,
which has been practically closed for
several months last past, was re
opened last Sunday by the Shaub
Bros. This will be quite conven
fence to the travelling public, and in
order to do good business the
Shaub Bros. will undoubtedly keep
the hotel at its prior reputation.
Nora, the little six year. old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Smiley Irwin
died last Saturday night at their
home near Lamar. The funeral SER
vices were held on Sunday and the
remains were buried in Riverside
cemetery. The parents and relatives
of the little one have the sincere
sympathy Of all in their sad loss.
There seems to be no let up in the
demand for houses. Although a
great many houses have been built
during the past year, there is not q
vacant house in town. There will
be several more residences built in
the near future, but as they will be
for parties who will occupy the build
ings themselves, it will not relieve
the demand of houses for renters.
New comers and visitors express
considerable surprise at the beautiful
weather we are having, and can hard
ly understand how the days can be
80 warm, and yet the nights develop
such freezing propensities. We, who
have been here however, have ceased
to wonder at what has become 30
common, and we simply continue to
enjoy our wonderful climate and
good weather.
The entertainment at the Metho-
dist church, given last Friday night
by Ellsworth Plumstead, was of a
most enjoyable character, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the audience
present. Quite a fair sized crowd
patronized the gentleman and were
we'll satisfied with their reward. A
neat little sum was realized for the
church, but there should have been
a much larger attendance.
E. @. Hawkins, chief engineer of
the Great Plains Water Company,
has been in this section for several
days inspecting the work on the
bitches and reservoirs. Mr.. Hawkins
at present has his family at Seattle,
Washington. and he is also engineer
of railroad extending into the Klon-
dixie country. His many friends here
were very glad to see him, especially
as he appeared to be in the best Of
health.
