Brainerd & Patterson's big car
nival company will show in Lamar
during fair week-August 22d to
27sh. The street fair people have
also made arrangements to appear
IN Rocky Ford on the occasion of
fair there early in September.
The fair management at Rocky
Ford did not encourage the enter
prise at FIRST as they thought it
might detTact from the fair; but it
was finally arranged that the car
nival would be open only in the
evening and Saturday and such
other times as would not interfere
with the Fair attractions. Many
look upon the carnival as draw
ing adjunct to the fair. There has
never been an evening attraction
of sufficient magnitude to accom-
modate the crowd that spend the
evening wearing themselves out
walking the streets.

Spseisl Sale Of Souvenirs.

There will be a special sale Of
La Junta Souvenirs at w. Fish
er's postofiice bookstore emporium
during the month OF July. The
owners and promoters Of this white
elephant have about 500 OF the
Souvenirs still on hand Of the 800
copies issued. The actual expense
Of getting out the Souvenir was
s3K cents per copy, and it was
dirt cheap and then some at so
cents, the regular selling price.
The supply evidently exceeded the
demand, but in order to create a
demand the promoters have decid-
ed to cut the price in two and sell
souvenirs for twenty-five cents
during the month of July only.
BY this method we hope to induce
q return Of some of the hard. earned
ducats invested. Call early and
avoid the rush.

l. j...s MI, Ar...,.n We'll.

The work Of cleaning out the
artesian we'll at the La Junta mill
was completed this week, the quail
ty OF the water being improved and
the quantity increased. The cast
IRON casing put down seven years
ago was taken out and replaced by
galvanized iron casing. When
work was first commenced it was
the intention to deepen the well
and 60 down to the second sand,
but after boring for three days
without making any preceptible
progress it was given up as a bad
job. Whether it was hardpan or
some obstruction in the we'll the
driller was not able to determine.
Fifteen inches OF slime, barnacles
and mud, the accumulations of
seven years, was also cleaned out
of the cistern used in storing ar
tesian water. When Manager
Spalding gazes upon the hetero-
geneous mass taken from the cis-
tern, and remembers that he has
been drinking cistern water for
seven years, he wonders il he
hasn't a microbe or two concealed
about his person.

Las Vegas won both games, the
first by score OF S to J, and the
second by score OF az to g.
flaming pitched for Ration in the

the score that some farmer occu-
pied the box for that team in the
second game. The Las Vegas Op-
tic says that Hill PLAYED a star

The big hail storm at Lamar
last Tues lay was the worst that
ever visited that section, but for
tunately was confined to q narrow
strip of irrigated farming country,
and the damage will not be nearly
as large As expected. In Lamar
nothing could Withstand the ter
rife force Of the stones, some be.
ing as large As sixteen inches in
circumference ~ d breakin 6
through iron and shingle roofs
without the last trouble. A colt
was instantly killed in the streets
Of Lamar by being hit with one Of
the stones, and several people
were severely injured. The storm
was accompanied by . heavy rain
which delayed all Santa Fe trains
from the east for eight hours.

Tuesday afternoon the Valley
was visited by hail storm which
did no great amount of damage in
this vicinity. The hail was the
largest ever seen in the Valley,
being from the size Of . hens egg
to four inches in diameter. Some
were solid chunks of ice, while
others resembled snowballs and
on striking the ground would
burst into fragments.
