The advertising merchant is the
one who does the business in these
days of push and enterprise. There
are more newspaper readers today
than ever before in the history of
the word. The newspaper places
your business under the eyes of the
buyer. He sees what he wants. and,
kno wing where to find it. looks up
the wide awake merchant who asked
him to come and see him. Success
in these days of sharp competition
calls for eternal vigilance. You can't
keep a hustler down.

1t is an old saying that the Ameri-
can people love to be humbugged,
We are reminded of this by seeing
agents canvassing our county with
packages of dry goods. These pack
ages are sold for various prices.
People forget how extremely low all
classes of goods are at the present
time and fall easy victims to the
travelling humbugs. They could
buy much better class of goods of
our honest home merchants for less
money. These city sharks travel
through the country and make a
fortune out of shoddy goods. A
word to TIE wise should be sufficient.
The goods they sell are dear at any
price.

The school election came off last
Monday afternoon as scheduled. but
there was very little if any interest
taken. Only twenty votes were
cast, and all for the only nominee,
Thomas. C Coltman. That people
generally are pretty well satisfied
with the conduct of our schools at
present is evident, otherwise there
would have been something doing
at the school election. There always is
--when conditions are unsatisfactory.
Last year there was an issue-some
people We're not satisfied, and the
result was that there were $40 votes
cast within the space of four short
hours. This is more votes than were
ever cast in either a presidential or
city election. The year before,
which was also rather strenuous in
school election affairs, the total vote
cast was $50. Mr.. Coltman has been
a resident of La Junta for several
years. and is familiar with local con-
ditions and needs. He has had
previous experience as a school di-
rector. having officiated in that ca
pacity for ten years in his old home
in Jenkintown. Pa. The new school
board will meet some time next
week. and organize for the coming
year by electing a president, secre-
tary and treasurer. The latter Of
flee is held by some person not a
member of the board, and during
the past year Mr.. Coltman ofiiciated
in that capacity.

There are 100000 miles of tele-
graph and telephone lines in this
country at the present time which
requires 30.00O.000 poles. A pole
lasts on an average twelve years and
is made from tree sixty wears old.
To maintain a continuous supply FIVE
times as many trees must be grow
ing in the forest as there are poles
in use. Experiments are being
made which. if successful. will very
materially add to the length of the
life of pole.

nesday for few hours while on his

every building in La Junta, having
received an official notice from the
Woodmen that this burg was quar-
antined on account of smallpox. La

community during the past two

Frank A. Porterfield, of Washing
ton. d. c.. department Of commerce
and labor. bureau Of statistics. has
been in La Junta during the past
week looking up the records of mar
riages and divorces in this county
since it was organized in 1889. I'm
der law passed at the last session
of congress the bureau of statistics
was authorized to secure record Of
the number of marriages and di-
vorces in every state and terri
tory in the union during the
twenty years preceding January l,
1907, and when completed there will
probably be some strenuous divorce
Legislation enacted by congress. Over
200 men are now engaged in this
work all over the country, five of
which are at present working in
Colorado. 1t is the intention to
have all the returns in, and tabu-
lated and arranged before congress
convenes in December next. The
total number of marriages in Otero
county from May. 1889, until Janu-
ary l, 1907, was 1880. The number
of divorces granted during the same
period was as follows: County
court. 221; district court. 2s; total,
249. About one marriage in six re-
suited in divorce. Marriage must
be failure in Otero county.
At the recent session Of the grand
Jury several recommendations were
made looking to the improvement
and betterment of local conditions,
among them being enlarging the
Otero county Jail and providing ad-
equate accommodations for taking
care of prisoners. This may not be
considered betterment or improve
ment. but in the light of existing
conditions it will certainly be mat
ter Of economy. There are fifteen
prisoners awaiting trial at the June
term Of the district court. Six of
this number are at present confined
in the Pueblo county Jail at the ex-
pense Of Otero county. and nine
here at home. Last Sunday there
were thirteen prisoners confined in
the county jail-ten in the steel cage
which can provide comfortable ac-.
commodations only for seven men,
and three in the corridor. Sheriff
Potter decided that this was alto
gether too strenuous for comfort,
and four Of the prisoners were taxi
en- to Pueblo last Sunday. where
they will be confined until the June
term of the district court. The
grand jury at its recent session did
not return any indictments. for
which distinguished consideration
some Of the best Of Us are
probably devoutly thankful. That

Engine No. 1921, which turned
over in the wreck at Simons last
week. is in the big shops for a gen.
eral overhauling. 1t probably needs
it. 1t is reported that Engineer
Broughton, who was badly scalded
in this wreck. refused to take this
engine out for the reason that he
did not consider it safe to do SO. the
tank especially being in a bad state
of repair. He was finally prevailed
upon to do so. however, by the Of
ficials. who were up against it on
the engine question. Probably af-
ter q few more costly wrecks the

upon the location and surveyors
Immediately proceeded to stake out
the site. The building will be a
magnificent structure, the material
to be used being gray pressed
brick with white stone trimmings.
The main building will have 'front.'
age of about lis feet, with a wing
on the south seventy-five feet long,
and both two stories in height. The
main entrace leads into a waiting
room, 12x3O feet in dimensions, the
chief surgeons Office being on the
south and the office of the assistant
surgeon on the north. The operat-
ing room, with a plate glass bay
window, is located on the north, the
smoking room and recovery room
Immediately adjoining on the east.
Wide spreading verandas surround
the structure on the south, west and
north, the latter permitting conva-
lescents to view passing Santa Fe
trains, convenience that will pro-
bably be greatly appreciated by rail-
road men. On the first floor, be-
sides the departments enumerated,
are located four wards, three pri-
vate rooms, a nurses room, bath
room and lavatory. The second
story will contain four wards. eight
private rooms, six dormitories,

quarters for the dining room doctors
dining room, pantry and kitchen.

plete will cost about $50, 200, and
will be ready for occupancy not later
than January l. 1908. The main
building of the present hospital will
be moved to the north end OF the
hospital grounds and remodelled into

The present hospital ward will be
removed to the south end OF the

I For a number of years the men Of
the Southwest have agreed that it
would be a good thing to suitably
mark the line Of the old Santa Fe
Trail all the way from its start, near
Kansas City, in Missouri. to its fin
ish at the old city of Santa Fe, in
New Mexico. 1t has remained for
the women Of Kansas and Colorado
to take the matter up in a practical
way. The Kansas branch of the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton has raised . fund Of several
hundred dollars, which was supple.
mented in 1905 by a liberal legisla-
tive appropriation. Seventy granite
markers have already been pur-
chased and will be put in place at
points along the trail this year. The
intention is ultimately to put these
markers two miles apart all the way
through Kansas. A few localities
have purchased more expensive
bronze tablets made from a Kansas
City artists design. The Colorado
branch D. A. r. is planning for q
similar marking of the trail. and at
the recent session Of the legislature
s., 900 was appropriated for this
