He was most attached to his famous horse Whirl- wind. which he sold for shipment to old Mexico. Then he bought a hand some sorrel which he named Cyclone and that too has been taken away from him at d figure so high he could offer no protest. He don't know whether he wants another horse or not for it will mean only another laceration of his feelings. He has a weakness for roan horses, mainly because nobody else likes that color and old Whirlwind was a roan. If he can find the right kind ot 2 roan and his name should chance to be Simeon. it is certain he would buy whatever the price.

 The board of trade has decided upon the recommendation of its advertiS- ing committee, to place some adver- l tisinS next year with the Sunset mag azine. Just how much can be taken is not yet decided on but it is almos- a certainty that nothing less than a quarter of page will be used. AS this magazine is wholly interested in the southwest and has a circulation of over a hundred thousand copies. the returns will more than warrant any ! expenditure through this medium. The
 board will also publish some small pamphlets from time to time descrip- tive of the county and its resources. Plans have been perfected whereby
 the fire department will establish club rooms and arrange for a gymnasium. billiard and pool tables and reading rooms. The feeling at present seems ] tu be in sympathy with the movement and already a large membership is as- sured. A monthly social will be giv- en and everything done to cater to the intellectual. physical and mental ad- Vaucement of the members.
