Little nine year old Mary Stewart,
of Onion Valley had the misfortune to
get her arm dislocated by falling off a
horse, Friday. She was brougt down
,, to Crawford where she received medi-
cal treatment
John Wilbur, of Cottonwood. was
knocked insensible by a bull Tuesday
night. and was severely bruised on the
chest and head, Mr.. Wilbur had
rope on the bull and as far as he can
recollect the bull attacked him, knock
ing him down. A call was put in for
DR.. Wells of this place, who hurried
up to the ranch in company with B. N.
Crawford. We are glad to report that
Mr.. Wilbur is getting along nicely at
this writing, and hope for his speedy
recovery.
S. B. Hartman, of Maher, is the
proud possessor of a First Prize on
Apricots. This prize was captured at
the Pueblo State Fair in competition
with every fruit raising section in Colo
RADIO. Just think Of it, Maher, the
country that has hitherto been known
as cattle and hay country showing to
the entire fruit growers of Colorado,
what she can do in the way of raising
fruits. Mr.. Hartman who is the lucky
winner of this prize owns one of the
most up to-date hay and cattle ranches
in the Smith Fork country, and land
that will raise just as good fruit, grain
or hay.

T. 7. Duffield, A. ]. Hadley and
Clinton Oliver visited Hotchkiss Thurs
day evening and while there enjoyed
pleasant conference with the leading
Republicans of the county together
with the candidates on the Republican
ticket.
David Cowgirl and family left for
Whittier, Cal. last Saturday. They go
there in the hope that the climate will
be beneficial to all of them. If they do
not find it more desirable place to
live they will return to Paonia as this
is the best they have known so far.
We should regret very much to lose
the Cowgills altogether.
The apple crop is moving now and
folks are almost as busy now as they
were when handling the peach harvest.
Taking care OF even light crop in
this valley is no child's play as the in
dustry is growing veiy rapidly and
where we used to ship wagon loads we
now ship cars. Surely no town on
the Western Slope has the opportunity
that Paonia presents to the home seek
er or the man seeking business loca-
ton.
The machinists arrived in town this
week to place the machinery for the
new electric light plant. Paonia has
prospect of having the new plant in
operation within a short time. Some
arc lights for the streets will be
much desired addition to the present
lighting system. 1t would not be so
bad if the same arrangement could be
made here that some other towns have
where person uses a certain num-
Der of lights in his honse he is allowed
an eight or a sixteen candle power on
his porch. This system does away with
the lamps at the street intersections
and gives the streets much more
beautiful appearance and they are bet
ter lighted. With the new plant this
arrangement should not overburden
the equipment and would make Paonia
the 'City of Lights" of Western Colo
rado.<

The real estate men this week se-
cured the services of Photographer
Ray OF Delta, who came up and took
between fifteen and twenty pictures in
and around Hotchkiss. They are all
representative scenes and will be used
in advertising this section.
Mrs. Jack Smith, three children and
Myron Aldrich left Thursday for Flor
ence in response to telegram an
nouncing that Mrs. Smiths mother is
in a critical condition at her home at
that place. 1t is not expected that she |
will live more than few days.
w. w. Stone of Wichita, Kansas and
F. F. Fritz and Chas. Sonntag of Illi-
nois. came in Friday evening and spent |
the fore part of this week looking over
our section with Paul Wilson. The two
latter gentlemen have gone on to Idaho
but will return later and probably in
vest here. It's cinch they won't find |
a better country.
