Remarkable Error.

President Roosevelt's message con-
tained one great error. He said the
army was large enough. He did not
recommend its enlargement. Every
one in the west who studied the cam.
paign of q year ago knows it is the
intention Of capital to plant sections
Of the standing army all over the
country to coerce labor. A fierce pic
ture in the Herald office presents a
distressing looking farmer trying to
grub out sunfower stalks while he
carries an armed soldier on his back.
Underneath the picture is the warn
ing "The republican party is pledg-
ed to militsrism; beware the results" +"
What does President Roosevelt mean
by saying the standing arms is large
enough. Doesn't he know that all
over the west farmers are standing
in leap frog positions waiting to have
soldiers fastened to their backs
Doesn't President Roosevelt care a
rap for the pledges Of the republi-
can party OTTAWA (Kas. Herald.

Beware of Him.

1t will not be many weeks now be-
fore the mutual hail insurance man
will be among our farmers getting
their signatures to notes for hail in
surance on the coming years crop,
and it is we'll for those who have not
yet indulged to take warning from
the experience of those who have.
The Kansas Mutual Co. has already
gone into the hands of receiver,
and we have before us letter from
Denver attorney to local client,
whose loss was adjusted at over
$500, stating that the Colorado Mu-
tual company claimed to be just COL
lecting enough to pay running ex-
penses" and there is no evidence that
there will ever be anything to pro
rate among the losers. Had Gov.
ernor Orman not vetoed the bill to
compel such company's to give a
$4,000 bond our farmers might have
collected little out of the wreck,
but as it is they will probably get
nothing. If you want hail insur-
ance it Is we'll to take it from a re-
liable insurance company even if it
does cost more.

Watch St. Louis.

The Greatest Worlds Fair the
world has ever seen will be held at
st. Louis in 1908. To keep in touch
with the work of preparation for this
great Worlds Fair and to get all the
news of all the earth, every reading
person should at once subscribe for
the great newspaper of ST. Louis,
the Globe Democrat. 1t stands pre-
eminent and alone among American
newspapers, and acknowledges no
equal or rival. Its circulation ex.
tends to every state and territory of
the Union, to Canada and Mexico,
and to every part of the World where
there are readers of the English Ian
guage. 1t ought to be in your home
during the coming year. See adver-
tisements elsewhere in this issue.

Evenly Balanced.

The Boston Ideal Opera company
which is now combined with the An
drews Opera company, has been be-
fore the public fifteen years, but has
never carried 80 evenly a balanced
company, nor presented as attractive
a repertoire of opera as they are do
ing this season. Always aiming to
give the best possible in their line
and always succeeding to remarka-
BILE degree, it is the universal verdict
of the press Of the cities where they
bave appeared this season, that the
company is stronger in every respect
than ever before. This is the high
est compliment that could be paid
them.
The cast, taken all the way through
is without weak spot; the chorus is
made up of extremely pretty girls,
with good singing voices. The cos
tunes are all new and handsome, the
orchestra fine, and the performance
moves with a snap and precision that
is refreshing. They appear at the
Lamar opera house one night only,
January 3, in their new opera "rhe
Little Persian" especially written for
them.

of matrimony last evening by DIR.
Coltman at the manse. The bride
was beautifully gowned in white and

Miss Bearce has taught in the
kindergarten department of the city
schools and has greatly endeared her
self to many of our citizens through
her kindness and patience with the
little ones under her care. Mr..
Mitchell has taught in the city
schools for the past two years and is
q thorough gentleman affable in his
manner winning friends wherever he
goes. The best wishes of the Demo

The Year Just Past Profitable One for Both Ppe

they were last year and there are
still thousands of tons to be shipped.
The total amount shipped by Prov
ers county this season will be con
siderably more than half as much as
the entire supply of the factory last
year, aud it is evident to all that the
time has come when Prowers county
is able and willing to support a sugar
factory. That one will be built in
the county the coming year there is
hardly any reason to doubt. This
industry with its big returns and reg
ular monthly pay days is doing more
than any other one thing just now to
make this valley noted and to attract
farmers to our lands.
The old staple crops of alfalfa hay
and seed and wheat were up to the
usual high standard and the farmers
who refused to be turned away from
these old stand bys have no reason
to complain of their decision. Such
products as fruit and honey have
also added materially to the prosper.
ity OF the farmers and are rapidly
increasing in prominence among the
county's resources.
The drouth in the east, which
caused all kinds Of stock to be rush
ed on to the market, has caused such
drop in the price as to effect the
stock industry of this section temper.
arily, but the we'll known shortage in
the general supply of both cattle and
sheep as shown by the census will
soon cause reaction in this industry,
and fortunately practically all of our
stockmen are able to hold on and
wait for the return of high prices.
A short drive over the country in
any direction now will impress any
one not only on account of the large
number of new farm houses being
built, but by the substantial charac
ter Of the buildings themselves.
There has never been year in the
history Of the county in which SO
many and such fine farm residences
have been built. This building is
not confined to the newcomers, but
many of the old settlers are still max
ing large improvements to their
homes.
In Lamar there is still a large
boom in the way of building resi-
dences and the demand is not sup
piled yet. About SO have been built
during the year 1901 and number
are under way now but the demand
is still increasing and there Dis still a
large opening for any one who has
money to invest in real estate that
will bring big return in rents. The
large increase in Lamar's population
forced the school board this year to
build a new $4,000 school house,
J which is handsome structure and a

credit to the town. Two new teach
ers have been added to the corps of
the district and still every room is
crowded. In Holly and Granada
also there has been constant in
crease in the demand for both bust Z.
ness and residence houses and the
workmen are all kept busy supplying
the demand.
One great public improvement Of
the year is the completion of the La.
mar city water works, 80 that they
not only furnish an ample supply of
good water for domestic purposes, but
also safeguard in case of fire as was
proved recently under the most unfav-
orable circumstances. Also during
the past year fine steel bridge
was constructed across the river at
Granada at an expense of about
$4,000, making three of these nec-
essary public conveniences now
owned by the county.
Altogether the year 1902 starts
out with brilliant prospect ahead
for Prowers county and the various
towns in it, and there is every reason
to believe that there is increased
prosperity and happiness in store for
our people. The people of Lamar
and vicinity have subscribed 5000
acres of sugar beets for factory to
start the ball of prosperity rolling
and unless all signs fail this induce
ment will bring one of these institu.
tions to our town. Taking all into
consideration the Register feels safe
in extending congratulations to all
its readers and predicting a happy
and prosperous year for them.
The Lamar register., 1902-01-01

AS the new year rolls around once
more it finds Lamar and Prowers
county enjoying continuation of the
rapid growth and prosperity, which
has become so much part of their
history, that it is scarcely noted any
more by those who have lived here
long. Since the low ebb was reached
after the collapse of the frantic boom
of 1887, there has for the past ten
years been an ever increasing and
steady growth both in the popula
tion and wealth of the city and coun-
ty. The year 1901 was no exception
to the rule, and on every hand can
be seen the evidence of the growing
prosperity of our farmers and other
citizens.
The registration of voters for the
election last fall showed an increase
of about 35 per cent over 1900, which
would indicate an increase of about
1900 in the population of the county,
and at least one fourth of this num-
ber can be credited to Lamar. Prob
ably no other one fact, though, can
demonstrate the remarkable trans.
formation taking place here as we'll
as the real estate transfers filed at
the county clerks Office. There have
been over 900 deeds filed during the
year and they conveyed real estate
to the value of over 100000. We
do not believe there is a county in
the country Of the size and popula.
tion of Prowers county that can show
one-half as many or as large real
estate transfers.
The lands here are becoming moi 9
and mole valuable as their produc-
tiveness and the reliability of our
water supply is getting better known,
and there is every reason to believe
that the real estate record for 1902
will be even larger than that of 1901.
Two special developments of the year
1901, which are calculated to in.
crease the values of lands here and
also the demand for them, are
the decision of the stockholders of
the Fort Lyon Canal to build the
Horse creek reservoir and the final
disposition of the case involving the
King reservoir, which will enable the
development of that large body Of
water and its application to the lands
north of Lamar. In the past three
years under the new management
this canal has greatly increased its
efficiency, and with this increase OF
its water supply will become one OF
the most reliable canals on the river.
Among the other big events Of the
year is the rapid development of the
sugar beet industry. The acreage
planted to this crop has more than
doubled, but the shipments have al
ready been nearly three times what
