The Record Feels Bad.

The Kiowa Record had another one OF
its bad spells last week, this time over
the awarding last January Of the con
tract for the printing Of certain official
notices to the Elbert County Tribune
and Elbert County Banner. The Trib-
une and Banner have been the official
papers Of Elbert county since January,
1902, and we're SO declared at the Janu-
AIRY meeting OF the commissioners for the
sixth consecutive time. During all this
time the county has been paying the lie.

sioners, the circulation OF the two papers
covering all parts of the county pretty
thoroughly.
At the January, 1907, meeting OF the
board the Records bid of 45 per cent OF
the legal rate was rejected, the board
presumably preferring to pay the one
half rate each to two newspapers having
recognized general circulation through
out the county, than to pay 45 per cent
of said rate to paper whose circulation
is largely paid for by mercantile com
pany, in order to get its advertisement
before its patrons in Ebert and adjoin-

The Record would like to have its
readers believe it made its bid of 40 per

Record, indeed. The board is empower

The editor in chief OF the Record howls
like the boy who has been eating too
many green apples, and we advise him
to take something to alleviate the pain;
it has already shown tendency to be-
come chronic.

We know but little more than we did
last week about the loss from the hail
storm. Some one has calculated that
the hail fell on 81 sections or square
miles, ranging from the foothills west of
Longmont to Platteville. Some farmers
will say they were damaged 10 per cent.
some all cut up, wheat fields not worth
cutting. Some renters have left their
places, as there was nothing left to har-
vest, and are looking for work. We in
Longmont naturally view the situation
from birdseye point of view, and say
that most of the loss falls on men who
will not be.sruined, but will go on just
the same Business in town will not
suffer much. for the matter OF general
loss of 100000 will not seriously affect
city that has such large volume OF
business as Longmont has. Still our
sympathies go with the losers just the

CANDIDATES ON A TRAMP.
Walk To Baltimore On a wsger.

Four candidates for the Naval Acad~
emy walked 10 Baltimore yesterday
on wager for a box of ciagrs, and
lost the wager by only FIVE minutes.
The bet was that they would reaeh
Baltimore in five hours after leaving
Annapolis. They left hero on the
tramp az l.30 p. m. and reached Bal
timore AT 6.S5, losing by the smal
margin Of five minutes.
The young men are Mossrs. Head
leigh, Hanson, McShe0 and smith.
The roads were not very good tthoy
never arel but the chief difficulty
encountered was the discouragemont
as to anuihilating distances.
After walking some distance the
party encountered n countryman and
asked how far il was 60 Baltimore.
The reply was item miles. They
kept ON the journey and thinking they
had walked ut least FIVE miles farther
toward the goal, asked again how far
il was 10 Baltimore. Again they were
told "ten miles.
All that anybody seemed 10 know
was the same answer-"ton miles.
When only two miles from Baltimore
again the candidates were told they
had ten miles farther 10 walk. They
were undaunted and persistently
pushed forward until the Monumental
City loomed up in the distance, lt
was Just twenty-five MINUTES of seven
when, according TO the wager, Il should
have been half past SIX.
The boys wero tired lot and ala
not attempt 10 walk back, but took the
evening train more tired and perhaps
wiser young men after trying eX-
perience.
