Like Dogs Barking at the Noon.

The Alamosa Courier, the per-
sonal mouthpiece of that gang"
headed by Mieir and Braiden, came
out last week with another of its
vomiting spells and took occasion
to cast reflections upon the Off
cial integrity of Sheriff Garcia,
the man who has taken his life
in his hands innumerable times
in order that the county might
be rid of the outlaws who. prior
to the time of his official career,
terrorized the law abiding citi-
zens of the county and sacri-
feed life and property with wild
abandon only equaled by a band
of redskins on the warpath.
Sheriff Garcia quelled them.
Cleaned them out. His record as
sheriff is not equaled by another Of
ticer in the west. He has captured
more bad men'-at the absolute
risk of his own life than any other
half dozen officers in Colorado.
And this is the man these Office
seeking blackguards would villify
and have you believe would i'm
pede justice!
Conejos county may have many
sheriffs in the future, but not in n
thousand years will she get a bet
ter man for the place, one who will
do as much for his constituents as
he has done. more fearless officer.
more efficient or capable official
than Sheriff J. A. Garcia.
The baying of dogs at the moon
was never known to dim its luster.

be good substantial one. This is
gratifying news to La Jara and

evening of July 3rd from heart

where his family made their home
for number of years.
1t does not pay to advertise, say
some of our merchants who have
done but little of it and that with
out keeping it up. The incident
of the boy and the pump illustrates
the matter very we'll. The boy was
sent after q pail of water. He
poured in the priming and poured
out as much as he poured in
| Then he stopped to rest and the
printing ran down. After some
time of alternate pumping and
resting he concluded it did not pay
to pump and quit in disgust. The
merchant who does not believe in
advertising does it like the boy die
the pumping. He advertised few
weeks, then stopped a while ant
allowed the people to forget hin
and his business before he adver
tised again and then concluded
advertising didn't pay.

While in the capital city Captain
Johnson purchased handsome
steel front for their large store
buildings.
To be sure the department stores
tell you that if their goods are not
satisfactory you can return them.
Sure! But you have to pay express
Dor freight both ways and you de-
eide to keep them. If your home
merchants goods are not satisfac-
tory you take them back and it
costs you nothing.
The recent rains make more ap-
parent the need of the city council
grading the main streets of La
Jara at once. At present the pud-
dies of water standing about are
unsightly, the breeding places of
mosquitoes and gnats and the
strangers within our gates get n
very poor opinion of the town.
The matter should be acted upon
at once.

Wyatt II. Ingram an officer OF the
Hibernia Bank and Trust company, who
is representing a number of big banks
in the life insurance organization, ex-
plains the attitude of the bankers In this
language: 1.-The banks will take large
portion of the stock of the new life COM
pany. The dividends, while not large.
will pay the interest on the investment,
while the larger profit will ultimately
accrue to every southern interest. fnan-
cial. commercial and agricultural, through
the investing of tens and eventually
hundreds of millions of dollars In the
south, money which now goes to New
York In the shape of life insurance pre-
miums Increased volume of business in
the south will bring augmented businesses
to southern banks just as it will bring
prosperity to all other enterprises of a
legitimate nature. As a large number
of banks will take stock the individual
investment will be small while the army
of prominent co-workers in behalf of
the life company will be large The bank

worth something, but as the pan Is to
build up the life company rapidly as can
