Forty percent of the voters Of the
town Of Ordway signed petition
last week. and presented it to the
town clerk. as provided by the local
option law. requesting permission to
vote at the coming spring election
on the proposition. Shall this town
become anti-saloon territory? A
similar petition was circulated and
signed by the required number in
Sugar City. Opinions differ as to
the result in both places. but it looks
as though Swink and La Junta will
soon be the only towns in Otero
county that can boast of thirst par

Lamar has remarkable dog. A
year ago a family Of that burg
moved to California, taking the dog
along. A few months later the
husband of the family returned to
Lamar for brief stay. leaving. his
family and the dog in California.
After he left the dog disappeared
from the California home and last
week showed up in Lamar, tramping
over thousands of miles of desert
roads and mountains to get back to
Lamar from the glorious climate of
California. As to climate. that dog
shows more intelligent appreciation
of a good thing than do some bipedal
mortals.

The Shelton Realty Company, of
Kansas City. Mo-. is sending out
notices to the effect that 1.-The taxes
on the townsite of Shelton, Colo,
have been assessed this year as acre
property. The taxes figure about
20 cents per lot. Kindly send US
this amount by return mail for the
one lot you own. on receipt of which
we.shall pay the whole in lump
sum-" Most of the lot owners
would probably be dee-lighted if
these same conditions were to con-
tinue indefinitely. Assessor Ads
mond figures somewhat differently
from the Shelton Realty Company.
as to the amount due on the acre
property basis. He says that the
amount o. tax due on each lot. on
the acre basis. would be 10 cents in
stead of 20 cents. This may or may
not be just little, infinitesimal case
Of graft, and it looks rs though the
Shelton Realty Company was wise
to the fact that every little bit added
to what you got makes just . little
bit more.

ley have entertained the deep. dark
suspicion that Senator Jack
Crowley and Representative w. B..
. Ebbert. the farmers friend, We're
playing politics" in going up and
down the Arkansas Valley urging
the farmers to stand pat in their
effort to secure s. fiat rate for
beets from the sugar factories. 1t
would not do. however. for repub-
iican newspaper to accuse them of
being more interested in furthering
their political ambitions than they
were in aiding the beet growers.
When the charge is made by demo-
cratic organ. however. it looks as
though there might be some ground
for the suspicion entertained. The
Pueblo Star-Journal. the leading
exponent of Jeffersonian doctrine in
this section. in last Sundays issue,
devotes two whole double columns of
editorial space TO Senator Jack"
Crowley, a part Of which reads as
follows:
The Star-Journai desires to think
the best of every man. but is un-
able to assume that Senator Jack"
Crowley is acting as disinterestedly
AS he processes to be. The Star
Journal does not belive that 'Sena-
tor Jack" is making all OF his efforts
for the sole purpose of aiding the
sugar beet growers. The Star
Journal suspects that the senator"
has an idea that inveighing against
the vile corporations and against
everything and everybody not inn
pressed with supreme sense of his
monumental greatness will aid him
politically and may prove the vehicle
that will again convey him to the
legislative halls of the state. There
fore, he agitates. Therefore ne op-
poses, with much meaningless mouth
ing and with many assertions that
he is unable to back up. any sane
suggestion that will tend toward the
settlement of the sugar beet con-
troversy. Sensible, practical. hard
lheaded men. with the interest of the
farmers and of this section of the
state at heart are doing their best
L L -
the growers and the factories to the
end that the interests of the Arkan-
sas Valley may be served. and popu-
iistic agitation. wild ranting. intem-
perate threats. all these things dear
to the heart Of the agitator and of
Senator Jack" have the effect of
thwarting really earnest and serious
work

We are getting mighty tired of

beats who take our paper year after
year and then move away somewhere
and leave no address and beat US
out of what they owe. and hereaf-
ter we propose to publish all such
dead beats so the public can know
who they are and look out for them.
and not give them any credit. The
last one to come to our notice is a
fellow by the name of James Rich
ards. He has taken the paper for
five years. owes $40 and has never
paid cent, and now we get card
from the postmaster at Ridgway
stating that the paper is no longer
called for. Such confounded ras-
Gals as that ought to be beat to
