CAMP ORDWAY, BOLIV R
HEIGHTS. w. Va. July 27.-High car
nival was held in camp and on the
streets Of Earpers Ferry by the District
.niliuamel tonight The officers were
paid This afternoon. After parade the
mnluamen proceeded to take possession
OF the town They whOoped it up and
celebrated as only soldiers can.
With songs and yelis and three cheers
for everybody and everything, the SOL
d1ers paraded up and down the main
streets of the town carrying beer kegs
on their shoulders and beating upon
tin buckets and dishpans. The resorts
in the little village were overcrowded
from sunset until closing time and no
small part Of the 5000 distributed
among the men was left in the town.
Although the enlisted men will not be
paid until tomorrow, all Of them seemed
well supplied with coin of the realm.
There was much hilarity and prank
playing in camp after the soldiers re-
turned. and the corporals Of the guard
were kept constantly on the 90 en-
delvoring to catch those WAC entered
after taps" without passes. The SOL
dierg wso retired when taps" was
played got but little rest. Other militia
men amused themselves by showering
clcds u earth or stones on the tightly
drawn tents. making a noise like thun-
der Many tent ropes were pulled 0fr
their pegs and the canvas dropped on
the sleepers. Soldiers who remained out
late returned TO find their haversacks
and mattresses tied to the top Of the
center poles. Blankets were tied in
knots or saturated with water and It
was well toward daybreak before the
fun ended.

The Santa Fe plug which runs be-
tweensDodge City and La Junta had
a narrow escape from a wreck last
Sunday night. On the run from
Garden City in home a bridge had
burned out at an isolated spot on
the road. Some Of the timbers were
still burning as the train approached
and the light caught the eye Of the
engineer. The engineer was VIM.
Ready. He stopped the train to in
vestigate the cause of the light ard
found that the bridge was nearly
entirely gone. If the fire had been
entirely out or an engineer pulling
the train that would have been less
watchful. there might have been a
bad wreck. Conductor George Pond
was in charge of the train. and the
division superintendent and train
master from La Junta had their car
attached Dodge City Republican.

The era OF prosperity which now
atfilcts us seems to permeate nation
al and state affairs, likewise county
and municipal as well as individual.
The nation is prosperous, the state
is prosperous. and on the eve Of a
development the like of which it has
never before experienced. and we
have evidences right here at home
that the Arkansas Valley is prosper
Gus. The city of La Junta is in bet
ter financial condition today than
ever before in its history. and the
same is true Of Otero county. The
business transacted in both the
county clerks and county treasur-
er's Office for the month of March
was a record breaker. The county
treasurer issued more tax receipts
on the first installment of taxes this
year than ever before, and during
the month of March released sixty
six trust deeds. the greatest num-
ber in the history Of the Office in any
one month. Since the first of the
year he has released 156 trust deeds.
which testifies to the fact that indi-
vidual prosperity is rampant in
Otero county also with the county
treasurer; who receives 50 per for
releasing each trust deed as side
issue to his regular salary. In the
county clerks Office. during the
months of January. February and
March. two thousand and eighty-five
instruments were filed for record, six
ty-seven marriage licenses and 305
hunting licenses is,ued. The total
receipts of cash fees for this period
aggregated $3.6O6.90. and of this
amount s2.45l.90 will be turned
over to the county as excess fees
