North l.. Iurt. Improvements.

The editor of the great family
journal. through the courtesy of
Park Mcdonald and his one-horse
shay, had chance to roundup
North La Junta Thursday morning.
The building boom is on across the
river, just as it is on this side of the
raging Arkansas this latter
term is no mere pleasantly but an
actual fact. The Arkansas is really
on a small rampage just at present.
something unusual for this particu-
lar time of year. Many new build
ings are being erected and some
newcomers are living in tents until
they can make arrangements to
build. Among the improvements
that are already under way we
noted the following.
E. NJ. Winner, four-room residence;
C. F. hasten, four-roOm cement
block residence; J. F. Funston, three
room frame residence; James B. FL
der. four-room frame residence:
Charles Cox, four-room frame resi-
dence, and many others. The or
chards are all in full bloom, garden
tracts never looked more promis-
ing. in fact. c. P. Miller has one
of the finest garden tracts we ever
saw in Colorado. 1t looked like it
might have been recently transport
ed from Illinois, where the farmers
are use to leading the strenuous
life. Not many of our Colorado sons
of the earth have acquired the habit
IS yet.
North La Junta has the finest
roadways out of doors. even better
that we have inside of the incorpor-
ate limits Of La Junta. They are
all shale, and with such an object
lesson right under eyes it is strange
that the residents on each one of the
streets in La Junta do not get busy,
form improvement societies and
shale the thoroughfares on which
they live and have their being. The
Board of Trade did appoint improve
ment committees for each street, we
believe, not long ago. but the COM
mittee stage is about - far rs that
organization ever gets. The scheme
evidently died s-boFnin'. Let u be
up snd doing something to improve

ch.nged Sheep censitiens-

c. W. Rieley of Lamar. Colo, who
has been engaged in the sheep busi-
ness in the Arkansas Valley for
nearly decade, recalls many changes
in the industry during the past dozen
years. "A few years ago. said Mr..
Rieley, there was no demand for
certain kinds of sheep. For instance,
ewes could be sold for any price ex-
cept to some one who wanted To get
a few for breeding purposes. And
even then they brought almost moth
ing. And then there were the lambs.
There was no demand for them, as
they We're not being fed. and there
was no market for them. except for
a few eve lambs for breeding pur-
poses. The aged wethers were
about the only class of sheep that
brought any price. and there was
limited demand for them Now old
ewes will sell at $3 per head out on
the ranges, and lambs are in the
market all the time at high prices.
And there has been an immense in
crease in the price of wool during
the past ten years. ~ Kansas City

Fisher & Larsen, our local jewel
ers. are achieving an enviable repu-
tation over the country as diamond
dealers. A few months ago they had
an order for a diamond ring from
an entire stranger in a western
state. who heard through a friend
of their reliability. The stranger
had a certain amount which he
wished to expend on diamond ring
and sent the cash with the order. re-
living on our local firm to give him
his moneys worth. He was evil
dently not disappointed as no com
plant was ever made.
tine day this week Fisher & Lar
sen received letter from a young
man in Chicago, which reads as fol-
lows:
Sooner or later every young fel-
low is called upon to invest in an en-
gagement ring. and apparently my
time has come. haven't too much
money at the present time in the
first place, and in the second place
wouldn't know a good diamond
when did see it. am therefore
writing to see what you can do for
me. want to spend from S75 to
500, and would like to have your
personal judgment of the stone. If
you have one in stock that is suitable
you may send it on and ! will remit
at once"
Now dosen't it seem strange. with
Montgomery-Ward so close by, that
the young man did not go there and
secure bargain in diamond ring.

was thinking Of the enormous armies

lous little army like his anyway? A
battalion from Fort Thomas could
beat it to-
Don't boast, DEAR" interrupted Ye-
tive, with 4 wan smile. "Dawsbergen
has standing army of 10000 excel
lent soldiers. With the war reserves
she has twice the available force 1 can
produce"
But your men are so bravew cried
Beverly, who had heard their praises
sung.
'True-God bless them!-but you for
get that we must attack Gabriel in his
own territory. To rt9apture him
means a perilous expedition into the
mountains of Dawsbergen, and am
sorely afraid. Oh, dear, hope he'll

Miss Calhoun. tits a good deal to

cess miserably. "Gren is actually hap,
py over the miserable affair, Beverly.
He is full of enthusiasm and positively
aching to be in Graustark-right in the
thick of it ALL To hear him talk one
would think that Prince Gabriel has
no show at all. He kept me up till 4
o'clock this morning telling me that
Dawsbergen didn't know what kind of
a snag 1t was going up against. have
vague idea what he means by that.
His manner did not leave much room
for doubt. He also said that we would
jolt Dawsbergen off the map. 1t
sounds encouraging at least, doesn't
lt?"
"It sounds very funny for you to say
those things" admitted Beverly, ''even
though they come secondhand. You
were not cut out for slang"
"Why. I'm sure they are all good
English words" demonstrated Yetive.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1906-12-28

"Oh, dear, wonder what they are do
ing in Graustark this very instant.
Are they fighting orr
mo; they are merely talking. Don't
you know, dear that there is never
fight until both sides have talked them
selves out of breath? We shall have
six months of talk and week or two
of fight, just as they always do now
adays."
"Oh, you Americans have such a
comfortable way of looking at things"
cried the princess. Don't you ever
see the serious side of life"
"AIy dear, the American always lets
the other fellow see the serious side Of
life," said Beverly.
"You wouldn't be so optimistic If a
country much bigger and more power
full than America happened to be the
other fellow"
at did sound frightfully boastful,
didn't it? It's the way we've been
brought up, / reckon-even we south
erners. who know what it Is to be
whipped. The idea of girl like me
talking about war and trouble and all
that! It's absurd, isn't it?"
Nevertheless, l wish could see
things through those dear gray eyes of
yours. oh, how I'd like to have you
with me through all the months that
are to come. You would be such help
to me. such joy. Nothing would seem
so hard if you were there to make me
see things through your brave Ameri-
can eyes. The princess put her arms
about Beverly's neck and drew her
close.
"But Mr.. LOrry possesses an excel
lent pair of American eyes" protested
Miss Beverly, Loyalty and very happily.
Il know, dear but they are a mans
eyes. Somehow there is a difference,
you know. I wouldn't dare cry when
be was looking, but could boohoo all
day if you were there to comfort me.

"Oh, I'm an awful coward" explain

are the bravest girl in all the world" :"
she added. Don't you remember what
YOU did at and then she recalled the
stories that had come from Graustark
ahead of the bridal party two years be-

The Future of the Airship.

An airship inventor, who recently
sailed the first airship over New York
successfully, confesses frankly the
shortcomings of his invention and &C
knowledges that it could never be
adapted for carrying passengers nor
for express service. The only CONNER
cial value of an airship is for exhibition
purposes, and the day of practical fly
ing-machines is still far distant. If
you want a practical medicine for that
poor, tired stomach of yours why don't
you try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t has been used successfully for over
so years in cases of belching, bloating,
heartburn, fatulency, ~costiveness, dys-
pepsia, indigestion, female ills, bilious
ness and malaria, fever and ague, often
affecting a cure when other remedies
have failed. Give it a chance to prove
its merit and you'll be thankful for
the hint.
