This week opens with great activ-
ity in the potato market. The Pa
citic Fruit & Produce Co. has a large
order from Tacoma to fill and has al
ready purchased several tons. The
price is good and so far no second
growths have been found. The price
being paid is from $14.00 to $1,000
ton, but the indications are that it
will go higher as soon as the large
buyers begin calling for them. Many
consumers raised few potatoes and
will not buy until near the first of
the year, causing the price to advance
at that season more rapidly than at
other times.
Other produce is in good demand
and is taken as soon as offered. But
ter is holding at the same price as
last week, but may go few cents
higher if the demand gets any strong
er. Eggs are bringing the same price
this week, but the outside shortage
is being felt a little and the indica-
tons are that before the end of this
week they will be higher.
There has been no change in the
retail markets this week.

Livestock markets are about as
they were last week as far as prices
are concerned, but the demand is
much stronger, everything selling
readily as soon as offered. Although
strong. the demand is not brisk
enough to send the price up. Ship
ments, while heavy for some time,
have Stacked up a little, which will
in measure account for the
changed conditions. Sheep are
strong sellers and lambs are bring

Large orders for turkeys have been
sent to the local dealers, but they dc
not think they will ship, as the birds
are so high here as to make the mar
gin too close for safety. All dealers
seem in favor of supplying the local
trade and not shipping to the Sound
markets at all.
Prices on grain and feed remain
J about the same as last week, with nc
change on the local market. Wheat

MASONIC HISTORY.

On the occasion Of the Masonic
Observance Of II. Johns Day. De
ccmber 9th. K. A. Steen read an
interesting history Of the Masonic
order in this city as follows;
Until the year lsS5 there was no
Masonic lodge in La Junta Most
Of the resident Masons belonged to
the lodge at Las Animas. but having
faith in the future of our city steps
were taken early that year TO or
ganize a lodge here. At that time
there was only one small hall. it
being in the Jones building on the
second floor. and il was used for all
public meetings. 50 we realized that
the first thing 10 be done was to buy
a lot and erect a building There
were 80 few Masons that IL looked
like "a big undertaking. but every
man was willing 90 do his share and
a little more.
The first meeting was held in the
office Of the J. e. Jones Bank on
January =. lS-I. and there were

-isting Of Brothers T.. SsLLa. John
Morrow and Z. A Steen. to procure
a Dot ard contract for a building at
once The lot was bought ard paid
for $500 the next morning by
Brother Sella. and in a few DAYS a
contract was made with Brother A.
W. Miller and the building now oc-
cupied by Brother e.. :. Thompson
was erected and finished during the
month Of April The amount ex-
pended on lot. building and furni-
ture was $3.50. which was all
raised among the Masons living in
La Junta. the committee giving
their notes for the same al II per
cent interest. The debt was all
paid of by the year lsa2. when we
sold the property and moved into
the present Masonic Temple. Three
and a half years ago the lodges now

for about sII .e-) and by the strict
ct economy We have il all raid for
