Fir. =, Motel 1. Juo...

Last Sunday morning about 2:30
o'clock fire broke out at the Hotel
La Junta. and caused large exodus
of La Juntaites to the scene of the
confiagration. The fire had gained
such headway before the alarm was
sent in that very few Of the early
morning risers, even Chief Wonder
tly himself. expected to see the
building saved. BY prompt and
effective work on the part of the
fire department the major portion
Of the building was saved. almost
the entire damage being confined
to the rear of the structure and two
out buildings which were totally
destroyed.
How the building was ever saved
from destruction is as much of a
mystery as how the fire originat-
ed, both being unaccountable. The
fact that the building had a tin roof,
which kept the blaze confined above
the ceiling long enough for the fire.
men to get in effective work, is the
only thing that prevented the total
destruction Of the building. The
insurance adjuster. who inspected
the building after the FIRE. is still
wondering how the structure was
saved. and pronounced the work
done by the fire department as the
best with which he had ever had any
experience.
The building was insured for
s.. COO in the Phoenix Of Hartford.
and the loss was adjusted by the
payment Of 81 300 to J. A. Burnett,
owner Of the building. for the dam
ages sustained. The building ct the
present time Is undertaking extensive
repairs.

Death Of Mamie E..h.r Hart.

The sudden death of little Esther
Hart came as shock to the many
friends of the family. The home
had been in quarantine for scarlet
fever some two weeks or more. both
children, Robert and Esther. taking
the fever in rather mild form. With
Mamie the fever soon developed
alarming sysmptoms and everything
that physicians and trained nurses
could do was done but to no avail.
Death came to the patient little
sufferer late on Saturday night.
Esther was child of that sweet
disposition and temperament which
endears childhood to parents almost
to the point of devotion and which
makes the presence of the bearer
such welcome guest on the play
ground. AS member of Mrs. Fin
ney's department in the Presby-
terian Sunday school, Esther was
loved by her classmates, ana IKE
esteem had she won while in the
early period of our public schools.
Born October 10, 1901; died May
9th. buried May 10. 1903. These
are the dates that tell the fact of
citizenship budded on earth. now
blossoming in heaven.
Brief services were held at the
cemetery in the presence Of large
assembly Of sympathizing friends
and neighbors on Sunday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Conrad Bluhm.
The deepest sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to Mr.. and Mrs. w.
A. Hart. and son. Robert.

but if the people are almost stunned
by its magnitude. and lack conf
dence. how will it impress the mon
eyed men who are called upon to
finance the project. At the present
moment the necessary finances are
the great stumbling block. Although
the great convention opened in
blaze of glory and amid great en-
thusiasm, when subscriptions were
called for during the smoker to
raise $4,000 for incidental expenses
to finance S3.500,000 proposition.
only three delegates responded with
subscriptions of 500 each.
The TRIBUNE will not attempt to
give the details of the stupendous
proposition which proposes to fur
nish electric power for irrigation.
cheap power for manufacturing and
commercial purposes. an interurban
electric railway from Canon City to
Dodge City. and light for every
city. village. hamlet and farm house
in the great Arkansas Valley.
Every one has been more or less IA
miliarized with the plan through the
daily press. The convention heard
and appreciated a number Of very
fine addresses. those of Alva Adams
and A. B. HuIit. promoter of the
project. being especially notable.
For an expenditure of about $500
to entertain the delegates La Junta
received at least 81 600 worth of ad-
vertising. and more people were
forcibly impressed with the fact
that La Junta was on the map than
at any previous period in her
history.
1t would be IA great thing for the
Arkansas Valley to have conven-
ton similar to this at least once a
year to take up matters vital to the
interests of the communities in this
great valley. 1t creates good fel
lowship. and good fellowship com.
bined with community of interests

C. Nj. Hampson. of the firm of

dealers in engines and pumps for
irrigation. was a La Junta visitor
this week and one of the interested
spectators at the Electric Power
Convention. Mr.. Hampson claims
to be the manufacturer of crude
oil engine and pump that can be
operated cheaper than by electric
current.
Waile here Mr.. Hampson visited
the city pumping plant and made an
estimate of the number of gallons
of water pumped each day. He
says La Junta is using minimum of
400 gallons or a maximum of 600
gallons per minute. an average of
720. 600 gallons every twenty-four
hours. He is endeavoring to inter-
est our city fathers in an automatic
treating plant of which he is the
manufacturer, which he claims will
make the hardest kind of water as
soft as little drops of rain. He
guarantees to make the water used
in La Junta at the present time as
soft as rain water at an expenditure
of 40 cents an hour The great
family journal is of the opinion that
this treating process is worthy of in
vestigation.

Wilmington and Easton Dloceses
May Be Merged.

1t is said that the advisability of
merging the Diocese of Delaware
with that of the Easton Diocese,
embracing the Eastern Shore of
Maryland, is being considered.
Prominent clergymen of both di-
ocese believe that such consoli-
dation would be mutually bene.
fetal. The subject cannot be acted
on, however, at the special con.
vention that will be held Feb. 10,
in Wilmington, for the selection of
a successor to the late Bishop
Coleman, but it will be brought up
at the Annual Diocesan Conven.
ton, which will be held in June.
Two previous attempts to consoli-
date these dioceses failed, but this
time, it is said, the PROJECT may be
carried to a successful end. If
such an agreement is reached, an
appeal will be made to the General
Convention, in 1910, to ratify the
consolidation, and, in the event of
his being done, the bishop to be
elected next month would act as
bishop coadjutor to Bishop Adams
of the Easton Diocese, and would
be in line of succession as bishop of
the consolidated diocese.
