c. Dowler, manager Of the Colora-
do Railway Signal Co., left this week
for Denver where he will have a num-
ber of the signal machines made for the
purpose of putting them on railroads to
be tested. This signal device is un-
doubtedly the best of recent railway in
ventions and we believe will make the
local stockholders big profits on their
Investments.
The proposed railroad running out
from Lamar and going west, making
nection with Las Animas is receiving con
hearty support all along the line. This
road will serve to bring Las Animas and
Lamar into closer relations and in work
ing together to secure this road, the two
towns are helping each other. The
friendly feeling is good thing and
should be steadily increased.
