Trip Thru the Factory.

The Chieftain is under obligations
to Master Mechanic George w. Price
for thoro explanation and trip thru
the Holly Sugar company's factory
Sunday, The magnitude of this enter--
prise is demonstrated by the fact that
three and one-half hours were required
for this trip. Careful examination OF
the cement floors reveals only one
slight crack in the entire buildings
and the machinery shows mo wear,
being to all intents and purposes new

All Eyes on Holly.

For many days, yea, weeks and
months, people in this neck of the
prairic-not woods--have worked, and
begged, and even prayed that a man
of gas pinchers and store teeth might
condescend to stop in Holly to ply
his profession for a few days. DR..
EIeizer of Las Animas heard the
prayer first and announced forthwith
that he would be on deck, but the ap.
pointed time elapsed and the peoples
toothaches were becoming unbearable
when DR.. J. V. Saylor of Lamar
caused notices of an impending visit
to be circulated in our midst. Then
came DR.. Hubbell of La Junta. The
latter did not herald his coming, but
just took off his coat and commenced
to plug" away. AS we go to press
he tells us that he has done a nice
business here, warranting his return in
couple of weeks.

Truth About oleomargarine.

Oleomargarine is a product which
has long been regarded with suspicion,
but food experts pronounce it health
ful and nutritious" and confute the
statements ignorantly made that it is
impure and contains injurious ingred-
tents. A defense of this much ma
ligned article of diet is well presented
by Mary Hinman Abel in the Delin-
Gator for February, being the sixth of
her papers on Safe Foods and How
to Get Them" Mrs. Abel quotes Pro-
lessor Harrington in his work on
Practical Hygiene, significantly;
The Holly chieftain., 1906-01-26
Working 200 Men on Railroad

"Oleomargarine has been misrepre-
sented to the public to a greater ex-
tent probably. than any other article
of food. From the time of its first
appearance in the market as a compe-
titor of butter, there has been a con-
stant attempt to create and foster a
prejudice against it as an unwhole-
some article made from unclean re-
fuse of various kinds, vehicle for
diseased germs, and disseminator of
tapeworms and other unwelcome par
asites. 1t has been said to have been
made from soap grease, from the car
casses of animals dead of disease and
from variety of other articles equal
ly unadapted to its manufacture. The
publication of a great mass of untruth
cannot fail to have at least its desired
effect, not solely on the minds of the
ignorant but even on those of per-
sons of more than average intelli-
gence. So prejudice was created
against this valuable food product,
but it is becoming gradually less pro-
nounced"

Would Improve Present Service.

Would Improve Present Service.
My attention has just been called to
an article in The Chieftain stating that
the Big Bend Rural Telephone COM
pany had planned to extend its sys-
tenn to Granada and Holly, which /
believe calls for an explanation.
While it is true we have been con-
sidering the project of extending to
the aforementioned places it was
only for the purpose of connecting
with the proposed system that we
had learned would soon be developed
to overcome the conditions now being
imposed upon the public combining
high rates and poor service, with toll
charges to the county seat. The Big
Bend Rural Telephone company, how
ever, is not capitalized for such an
undertaking as would be necessary to
develop such a system, for to install
frst-class system in that territory
with central energy exchange in
Holly, and to provide toll connections
with surrounding territory and after
wards Absorb the Big Bend Rural
Telephone company would require
capitalization OF from $4,000 to $780,
900 (no water), but would certainly
encoura1c the organization of such
concern and give to it its hearty sup
port.
The objection to having two sys-
TENS becomes of little importance
when we consider that nothing could
be more helpless than the Bell monop-
oily without the support of the people.
The result of their recent three
months canvas in Big Bend territory,
in which they secured one subscriber
and lost one, goes to prove that
mutual system, governed by the in
terests of its subscribers, can exist
and thrive, even under adverse cir
cumstances and beset by the most
persistent and vicious competition.
No doubt any new agitation will
bring from the Bell severe threats and
timely warnings as to the inevitable
result, will cause them to begin at
once improving their lines and ser
vice, and may even cause the granting
OF real concessions to subdue the
movement. But the people well un-
derstand the real motive in so doing,
and have found from past exper-
ience can be depended upon not to
grasp at shadow.
My advice to the promoters of an
Independent telephone system would
be to begin right,-don't start too
cheap; build good and use the best ap-
paratus that money can buy. A saw
ing of $40 per share in first cost may
make wlFt might have been good ser
vice, poor and unsatisfactory, besides
increasing the cost of maintenance.
The quality is remembered long af-
ter the price is forgotten.

CITY Is DEFENDANT IN
COMPLICATED LAWSUIT
RESULT OF ERROR OF BRIDGE
CONTRACTOR
Title Of Land Bought by Municipality
to Gain Access to Structure Built
Across Arroyo at Wrong Point
Now Is in Dispute

Through the error of a contractor
who built bridge for the city eight
years ago, the municipality is now in
volved in a complicated lawsuit to
quiet title.
Eight years ago the bridge was built
over the Arroyo Seco, connecting Ave-
nue. Twenty-Five and the San Fernan-
do road. In building this bridge the
contractor made an error and located
the San Fernando end of the bridge 81
feet to one side of the road. In order to
connect with the bridge it was necessary
for the city to acquire a piece of land
and change the bend of the road. The
piece of land over which the road for
merly ran and to which the city still
lays claim is the property in dispute.
Is is triangular in shape, 2SS feet long,
so feet wide at one end and taperS to
20 foot width at. the other.
The suit to quiet title is brought by
Col Edward r. Fox. Other property,
the whole forming what is described
as blocvk of the additional subdivision
of the Hamilton tract, is involved. Col.
Fox lays claim to the entire block. For
some parcels of property in the block
he has clear title, for others tax deeds
and many of the improvements on the
property he has acquired by buying
mechanics liens against the property.
To secure a clear title to this prop
erty Col Fox had brought suit against
nine claimants. one of which is the city.
Others are August Jepson, c. J. Rich
ards, Andrew j. Rogers, Lucie Il. Du-
pis, f. A. johnson, j. L. Van Every,
II. C. Lewis and j. C. DAILY.
A manufacturing concern is eager to
buy the property of Col. Fox, but il
demands that he furnish clear title
He has already been paid $1,000 to bind
the bargain.
