It was a pile OF kindling wood.
It IS reported that owing TO the
labor difficulties at La Junta during
the last few months. the shops will
not be rebuilt. As the town IS an i'm

however, the work formerly done at
La Junta will be brought to Ration

two cities must be increased tempo
rarily at least.
While the origin Of the fire Is I'M

that sparks from the ashpit were re-
sponsible, while the usual rumor Of

The Optic has more than ono or
twice urged all our citizens to buy
Of home merchants. kickers to the
contrary. Notwithstanding, the mer-
chants are selling at the lowest prices
compatible with the successful con
duct of their business. II they are
not doing to let some Of the DIRECTORS
start a business of their own. II they
can sell below present prices there is
q fortune for them. They will get the
trade. There's nothing in the world
to hinder them taking advantage of
the golden opportunity II present
prices are unreasonable.
The methods Of the eastern order
houses are well known. The sales.
man offers staple sugar, for instance,
at less than factory price. Then they
delude people into believing that ali
their prices are correspondingly low.
1t is true that our merchants cant
sell at Omaha prices. It Is true that
the Omaha merchants can't sell here
at Omaha prices. The freight must
be paid, and the buyer Is bound to
pay It.
Las Vegans who make their living
here and send their money outside
are a drag on their community. II
they don't like our prices and our pay
let them move on. There are plenty
to take their places who will. The
man who won't patronize the enter,
prising home merchant except when
hard times come and he is out Of cash
can be dispensed with to great ad.
