ATTENTION CITIZENS.
Important Meeting in Which
Everyone is Interested,

The La Jara Board of Trade
cordially invite all public spirited
citizens of La Jara and vicinity,
and more especially all ranchmen
on or near the La Jara and Ala
mosa rivers to meet with them at
the town hall in La Jara next
Tuesday evening, April 13, at 1870
p. m.
AT this meeting ways and means
must be devised for strengthening
the embankment at the head of the
arroyo above Capulin. The snow
fall in the mountains is doubtless
the heaviest in many years. No
one can estimate the ruin and
havoc that would be wrought if
the Alamosa river breaks through
the embankment at the head of
the arroyo.
