NAN ABOUT TOWN
Some Flotsam and Jetsam
u Found by the Wayside

1t will be of general interest to
know that the bill providing for
taking up 800 acres instead of 16o
acres in a homestead has not yet
passed the senate of the United
States. and such obstacles have
been thrown in its way that it is
doubtful if it will pass in this ses-
sion of Congress.
A local newspaper failing to
criticise where public criticism is
necessary, loses it's sphere of USE
fulness as quasi-public enterprise
and that moment falls short of its
duty to the public
Many favorable comments are
received by The Chieftain from
Eastern readers. One writer states,
little bitterly: If we had as coed
local papers in the East as you
have in the West, it might be that
more of our people could be made
to see the advantages of the old
home country and not be tempted
to the fields that are painted green
er over the western Mills" While
this might be true, it must be ad.
mi ted that the East is overcrowd-
ed; that the opportunities that
once existed have flown Westward.

Disturbed Business Interests

Word comes from La Junta that
business conditions are much dis
turbed since the election, the Dry
element and the Wet element fail
ing to pull together as of yore,-
and the same is true of many towns
near us.
Ever since the birth of the world
politics and religion have been at
loggerheads, and history is simply
repeating itself.
While Holly was somewhat torn
up over the recent election, our
people are gradually getting to-
gether again, and it is hoped that
a parallel case to that of La Junta
will be an impossibility elsewhere
in the Valley.
The Holly chieftain., 1908-04-24

Plans have been brewing for
some time. but owing tc the large
number OF cities concerned it was
deemed advisable to havea general
meeting at which the scheme in its
entirety could be outlined. Within
short time meetings will be called
in each of the cities interested, and
everyone will be given the oppor-
tuuity to discuss them. Another
general meeting will be held at
La Junta within the next thirty
days.

load of the cho cest melons from

purpose.
The importance of melon ex-
