Splendid Reception.

the beautiful and spacious home
of Mrs. James McNeen was the
scene of splendid reception on
Wednesday afternoon. at which
about 200 La Junta ladies' were pres
ent. Mrs. James McNeen, Mrs. A.G.
Bentley, Mrs. John Francis and Miss
Helen McNeen received.
The day was ideal and the entire
house presented scene of brilliancy
and beauty, which reflected in every
detail the charm and artistic handi-
work of the hostesses and their as
sistants. On entering the guests
were ushered by the Misses Gertrude
McNeen and May Booton into the re-
ception hall and parlor to exchange
greetings. These rooms were ar
tistically decorated in palms and
white carnations. In the library,
made modestly attractive with banks
of sweet peas, the Misses Lesher.
Lee, Finney. Critzer, Barngrover
and Baldridge gracefully dispensed
the frappe. Wonderly's orchestra
stimulated conversation by anpro-
pirate selections.
Gates of smilax and roses barred
the entrance to the dining room
until admittance was given by the
little maidens, Allie Fisher and Nor
ma Corbin. Here the guests were
delighted with the burst of color
radiating from the festoons of red
poppies used for mural decorations
and from the boquets of American
beauty roses and crimson carnations
adorning buffet and dining table.
A sumptuous repast was served.
Mesdames Mayhew, Porter, Rags
dale, Bragg, Bisbee, Walsh and the
Misses Hill and Baldridge assisted in
making the occasion one of the most
brilliant receptions of the season.

os..h Of Joseph 9. Ferry.

Joseph B. Earry, one of the pion-
eer residents of La Junta, died at
the home of Mrs. G. Dougherty on
Carson avenue last Wednesday
evening about ten O'Clock, after a
two months illness from typhoid
fever. MIR. Farry had been confined
in the City Hospital for several
weeks, but on Tuesday evening he
was removed from that crowded in
stitutioa to the home of Mrs. Dough-
erty. where it was thought with
careful nursing he would recover.
His long illness had wasted his
strength, and the end came unex-
pectedly.
James B. Farry was born in Con-
naught. Ireland. in 1858, and at the
time of his death was forty. nine
years of age. When a young man
he emigrated to this country. COM
ing to La Junta in 1884 and has since
that time been a resident of this
city. Until the strike of three
years ago Mr.. Farry was faithful
employ in the boilermaker depart
ment Of the Santa Fe. and with his
wife, who died about two years ago,
accumulated considerable property.
The only surviving member Of the
family is Claude Fairy, youth of
fifteen years.
The funeral took place yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock from the
Catholic church, services being con-
Quoted by the Rev. Father Dilly.
and interment occurring at River
view cemetery.

La Junta will soon have all kinds
of street railways-that is, provid-
ing plans which are now in the first
four-fiush of execution do not fall
by the wayside. A few days ago
the directors of the Canon City. Pu-
eblo and La Junta Railway and
Power Company met in Pueblo and
elected officers of the company.
Plans were discussed at length and it
was decided to open Offices in Pueblo
at once and commence the work of
building and equipping an electric
interurban railway which will ex-
tend from Canon City to the Kansas
cate line. The officers elected were
Ss follows: President. Alfred E.
Vent, of Lamar; general manager,
Andrew j. Behymer. of Elwood,
Ind; secretary. George d. Kendall,
of Pueblo; assistant secretary,
Charles X. Buckley. of La Junta;
treasurer. F. E. Pastorious. of Col
orado Springs. The meeting of the
directors is said to have been a very
enthusiastic one, and it is proposed to
enter upon the detail work of build
ing the line at once. The capital
stock, however. is only 5000, 600. and
we very much doubt whether this
amount will build the power houses
that would be necessary to operate
the plant. An interurban line, such
as is proposed, would prove great
factor in the development of the Ar
kansas Valley. besides providing
cheaper fares. cheaper freight, and
the convenience of quick transpor-
tation from one locality to another
at frequent intervals. 1t would
mean cheaper coal from Canon City,
and cheaper freight On all kinds Of
merchandise from Pueblo. We
surely hope that this interurban
dream will come true. There is also
another line projected. which will
be distinctly Otero county affair.
It is proposed to construct line
from La Junta to Rocky Ford.

The cars are operated BY gasoline
power. on q plan similar to that
Of an automobile-eaeh car being
operated independent of any other.
This line can be built and equipped
for less than $4,000. No power
houses. poles and trolley lines are
required. and the expense of con-
structing the roadbed would not be
one-half that required by the pro-
posed interurban line. In time it is
proposed to extend the line and
make circuit of Otero county, TAX
ing in all of the prominent towns.
This line will be operated on several
of the streets of La Junta, giving
quick transportation to outlying
residence districts and affording
cheaper rents for workingmen. thus
solving a problem that is becoming
very serious one in La Junta A
line similar TO the one proposed is at
present in operation in Salina. Kan.
The company is already at work Sc
curing franchises and rights-of-way.
The gentlemen who are back of this
project are as follows: c. w.

DR.. A. L. Stubbs. our city health
officer. received letter from DR..
Hugh L. Taylor, secretary of the
Colorado State Board of Health, last
Wednesday regarding the analysis
of the samples of water and milk
secured by DR.. E. C. Hill. state
chemist. on the occasion of his re-
cent visit to this city. The letter is
as follows: Il have before me the
report of DR.. f. c. Hill on the milk
supply of your city. DR.. Hill re-
ports that he found the milk in very
good condition with no adultera-
tions or preservatives. would ad-
wise that you instruct the people of
your city to boil all drinking water
before using it. DR.. Hill reports
that he found colon baccilli typhoid
fever germ) in the sample of water
taken from the cistern of the Frank
lin dairy. Please instruct this dairy
to clean out that cistern. and in
struct all dairies to use boiled water
for cleansing milk cans" 1t is the
duty of the city health officer to en-
force these instructions and it ought
to be attended to at once. 1t ap-
pears that none of the milk in La
Junta is infected with typhoid fever
germs and that it is in very good con.
dition with no authorizations or pre-
servatives. The cistern spoken of
in the report should be condemned
by the health officer as it is a menace
to public health. This report is
made by a person who is entirely
disinterested and could not possibly
have any reason for injurying any
ones business. The instructions
should be carried out to the letter.
