From a recent issue of the Pitts

count of the marriage of John n
Miller. a well-known La Junta boy,
which reads as follows
Last night at $50 O'Clock. at the
home Of her parents. Mr.. and Mrs
j. Stoup. .626 Milford avenue.

tifully decorated for the wedding.

viii be surprised to learn Of his join

In the last issue of the Enid (Okla-
homa) Wave an interview with the
genera manager Of the Denver. Enid
& Gulf road is published. in which
that gentleman take occasion to deny
a rumor circulated that the road
would not be extended further ow-
ing to its purchase by the Santa Fe.
He stated that on the contrary it was
the intention to extend the road at
once so as to give il direct con
nection with Denver, and that as
soon as that was accomplished il
would be be built on southwark.
with the Gulf Of Mexico as its goal.
1t would be well to keep an eye on
the ID. f. & G.. line, as il is almost
certain that it will tap the line of
the Santa Fe at La Junta, which is
the natural junction owing to the
location of the Santa Fe shops at
this point. BY building to this city
the new line would be a direct
southern outlet for the products of
Otero. Bent and Prowers counties.
which are now shipped around by
the eastern route to Oklahoma and
Texas. 1t is not likely that the line
will be built straight through to
Denver. at least for a good many
years. as the Santa Fe tracks can be
used from here to the capitol city.
But if the increase in business de
mands such an extension. La Junta
is on the direct route Of an air line
from Oklahoma to Denver.
1t will not be surprising to see sur
veyors for the Enid line working
through this section before fall.
Our apologies are due Editor Law

ing the above item bodily. BY
simply changing one sentence to APP

ing La Junta" for Lamar
wherever il occurs. we find that the
sentiments expressed can be very
readily adjusted and apply with equal
force to our own community. We
are possessed of consuming desire
to acquire a reputation as railroad
builder equal to that of the Lawless

MoST of our municipal neighbors
are in the agonies of a city election
campaign. a sensation which La
Junta will have to forego this year of
grace. Very few scalding tears will
probably be shed by the initiated,
however. on this account. 1t would
be good thing for some towns if
such thing as a city election never
happened. The bitterness and aEi-
mosities engendered in a city cam
paign generally survive for at least
a year. and when election time comes
around there is grand scramble TO
get even with the other fellows" ."
With an election only once in two
years there is an opportunity for
town to progress to some extent de-
spite the usual knocking on the pow
efs that be IN municipal affairs.

ROCKY FORD has been having mass
meetings innumerable of late for the
purpose Of discussing the water
problem. They are still figuring on
securing a supply from the Crystal
Springs Water Company at Fowler
by piping for a distance of twenty
five miles. and have requested rep
reSentatiyes of that company to make
the city a definite proposition. On
April "a, Rocky Ford viii vote upon
the question of issuing bonds to
the amount of $4,000 with a view
to increasing the water supply. They
have already decided to put down a
sixth artesian well. fourteen inches
in diameter at the top. The town
derives its entire supply at present
from artesian wells.
