Reception.
The reception that followed was en-.
joyed and appreciated by the chief ex-
ecntiye for its cordiallty and the num-
bers of people who came to the stage
to greet him. 1t was a representative
gathering. There was the workman
In his jeans, the professional and the
business man; ladies', handsomely
gowned, young and old; in fact, 1t
seemed as II the entire city had pour
ed out to do honor to Governor Ha-
german. 1t was fully an hour before
the last person had grasped the hand
of the chief executive and the orches-
ira struck up waltz to announce that
dancing was in order The spacious
stage was the dance floor and Gov.
ernor Hagerman and Mrs. Van Hou-
ten led the first waltz. The large au-
dltorium remained we'll filled with
spectators while the stage presented
brilliant picture in an attractive
setting. 1t was almost midnight before
dancing ceased and the lights were
turned out.
| The orchestra of eight pieces and a
piano rendered concert and dance
program that was delight to music
lovers. The waltzes and two-steps
made the blood course In rhythm and
were irresistible invitations to join In
the dance. The orchestra had been
trained by O. A. Foster, publisher and
editor of The Range. The following
was the concert program:

The reception was of more than
local significance. Governor Hager-
mans utterances were undoubtedly
intended as the keynote OF vigorous
campaign for statehood and for non,
partisan constitutional convention
They will likely be followed by the
PRONUNCIATION of a more specific and
detailed plan of campaign by Governor
Hagerman and the gathering OF the
political clans to take one side or the
other of the great question at issue.
Visit to the Coal Camps.
Saturday was devoted by Governor
Hagerman to tour of the coal camps
of Dawson, Van Houten and Gardiner,
tributary to Ration. Blossburg, Bril-.
liant and Yankee were also on the
program but Governor Hagerman's de-
sire to see every detail of coal mining
and not only to see, but also to un-
derstand, consumed so much time that
the latter part of the itinerary was
cut out.
The day was cloudy, with occasional
showers, but agreeable nevertheless,
for there were no dust, no heat and
vegetation appeared freshened by the
moisture. The start from Ration was
made at 8 o'clock in the morning on
a special train of the Rocky Noun
tain, st. Louis and Pacific Railway.
To the bran new passenger locomo-
tive No. ], was attached the com

Dawson, Mr.. Carpenter, superintend-

party, which was In charge of Mr..
Dedman, superintendent of construc-
tion of the st. Louis, Rocky Mountain
& Pacific Railway. The special made
good time down the we'll ballasted
tracks of the Santa Fe System. Near
Otero, at the ruins of the historic Cliff
ton House, the st. Louis, Rocky Noun
tain & Pacific Railway crosses the
Santa Fe tracks on an overhead via
duct. Here the party watched grad
ing machine at work, plowing and
loading the ground on cars in the
same operation, doing the work of
many men and throwing up the fills
or excavating the cuts between Otero
and Ration in marvelously short time.
Between these two points the Santa
Fe and the st. Louis lines run paral-
lei.
New Coal Camp.
At Hebron, the special was switched
