Board of Trade Meeting.

The Board of Trade meeting
last Saturday, i'll conjunction with
the La Jara Creamery Co. was one
of unusual interest. the result of
which has set things to going in
this neck of the woods. The stock
holders of the Creamery Co. held a
meeting Immediately upon the
adjournment of the Board of Trade
and decided to get down to bust
ness. They elected j A. Mcdaniel
business manager and employed E.
l.. Blackburn, of Del Norte, as
butter maker. They decided to
start the creamery on Monday,
March 18th. and have the promise
of the milk from over $50 COWS to
begin with There is no doubt
but that this enterprise will become
one of the money making institu-
tions of the county and that it will
add materially to the wealth of the
farmers as well as the business

S215O0 for that purpose and in
structed the county attorney to
draw the necessary papers entering
into contract with the La Jara
Board of Trade for execution of
the work. Messrs. Chapman and
Jaramillo on the part Of the board
of commissioners, were appointed
to receive the work.
This same committee explained
to the board of commissioners the
impossible condition of the road
between La Jara and Sanford and
the commissioners passed AN order
appropriating $4,000 to aid in
putting the road in good condition,
and it will be paid over to the La
Jara Board of Trade when this
road is put in such condition and
received by the board. 1t is under
stood that the money appropriated
is only an aid in the construction
of the enterprises mentioned and
that it is up to the citizens of La
Jara, Sanford and ranchmen to do
their part. The La Jara Board of
Trade feels that the county has
done all that it could be reason
ably asked to do. The county
commissioners also adopted the full
set of resolutions adopted by the
La Jara Board of Trade for their
guidance on roads and road over
seers.

the great damage to the roads and

river break its south bank above
Capulin at point where it came
so nearly breaking last year. it was
ordered by the board that as a
matter of protection to the county
property and in view of the fact
that private property would sustain
great damage by such breaking of
the river bank, that the county
should bear one half of the expense
of putting the place mentioned in
a perfectly safe condition to with

ed at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. p. Mcdaniel last Saturday when
that number of the gentlemen
friends of our genial Pink" gath
cred in response to invitations
from Mrs. Mcdaniel for surprise
upon her husband. The surprise
was complete and the manner in
which Mr.. Mcdaniel passed it off
added much merriment to the oc-
casion Hon. ID. +. Newcomb was
selected as spokesman for the party
and acquitted himself with credit
to himself and honor to the host.
The most amusing feature of the
evenings many happy incidents
was IA hoe-down by our mble,
though weighty friend, Uncle Joe
Pursley. To the tune of Leather
breeches" Uncle Joe kept perfect
time and succeeded in dislodging
several chunks of plaster from the
walls of Mr.. McDaniel's spacious

by Mrs. Jason Cochran and Messrs.

of the evening the elaborate turkey
dinner knocked down the persim-
mon. Mrs. Mcdaniel is noted for
her skill in preparing feast and

dinner was splendid, the evening
immense and the boys all regretted
