Young Town.

Mr.. Arthur Beymer of Rocky FWd,
manager Of the Hasty Town Co.. Of
that city. which has plated out a
fine towusite at the Hasty station on
the Arkansas Valley r. R. fourteen
miles west of Wiley. has been a
Lamar visitor this week in the inter

The new town is located ON a
splendid townsite right In the center
of a large area Of the finest a9ricail-
tural land in the valley. For miles
in every direction there are large
fields Of alfalfa, beets, grains and
pasture, and the farms are occupied
by a large population Of prosperous
people. A town with. such a surround

help but be a winner.

PUBLIC MEETING.
The School Board Desires to Have
Meeting Of Citizens to Diseuas
Imperative Needs Of High
School.

The school board Of this district
and the high school district are fac
ing a serious problem in connection
with room for the rapidly increasing
attendance at our high school. The
rooms now In use are crowded to the
overflowing point and unless new
QUARTERS are provided by the district
it will be necessary to rent a bust
ness room at a heavy expense to the
district
The board believes that the best
way to meet the emergency Is to
build new high school building. and
use the present building for a ward
school. the capacity Of the ward
schools now being overtaxed SO bad
ly that more room is becoming
necessity there also. The indebted
ness of this district Is SO small now
that it viii be easy to sell bonds at
a reasonable interest rate to raise
the necessary money. and with new
high school building and the three
ward schools, Lamar can get along
for several years.
I The board wishes to get the senft-
ment of the taxpayers and patrons
of the schools on this subject so THAT
a proposition can be submitted at the
spring election that will have some
prospect OF carrying, and for that
purpose have called public meeting
at the opera house on March 1st. All
persons interested both IN Lamar and
the Union High School District are
requested to attend and are invited
to freely express their opinions. The
board desires to carry out the wish
es Of the majority Of the citizens
and wants them tolenow just how I'm
perative this matter Is. The secre-
tary will have all the figures with
him and answer all questions. and
give full information regarding the
increase in the schools. present
crowded conditions. and also with
regard to outstanding Indebtedness.

money that can be raised.
There should be q large attendance
and a free expression of opinion, as
the best interests Of the schools de-
marsds that the intention 0 the
cStizsns be made Known now 90 bhe

Would Lincoln Have Been I'neol"7

would have fitted him with glasses

have been Taught by pictures and
g, diagrams the difference between
COW and a pig, and through nature
study he would have learned that
1.-The catbird did not lay kittens. By
the time he was eight he would have
become young gentleman at ten
he would know more than the old
folks at home, at twelve or fourteen
he would take UP manual training
and within two years make rolling
pin and tie it with blue ribbon. In
dlhe high school at sixteen, where
i'm four years he would learn that
Mars was the son OF Juno, and to re-
cite a stanza from The Lady of the
Lake. Then to college. where he
would have Joined the Glee Club

ed cigarettes and graduated. and
then become a clerk in a bankers of-

MASS MEETING.
Lamar Citizens Meet at Club Room
and Discuss OIL and Other
Questions.

OUh0 III the pr1ISeSI McSlAA6S u CASi-
zens held in Lamar for several years
assembled at the rooms of the Lamar
Commercial Club Association on Mon
day evening of this week. It was
uation and other important matters
Morton Strain, who is president Of
the Lamar Oil and Gas Co., was made
chairman of the meeting and C. C.
Goodale secretary. Mr.. Strain gave
an outline OF the work done by the
company and also the unfortunate
series of accidents by which their
work was rendered useless except as
demonstrating the fact that there is
oil underneath this section at a
depth Of about 1400 feet and that
there Is at least two stratas OF oil
sand Of a thickness Of 19feet. 1t has
cost the company about $4,000 to
demonstrate this fact and they have
a total leased area of 10000 acres
which will be very valuable II 1t
proves that dihe OIL is in paying guam
titles. The money has been raised
by subscriptions to the capital stock
by a few of Lamar's most enterpris-
ing citizens.
1t will now require som mething over
Tour thousand dollars more to put
down the new well and 1t was de-
caded to put 60 more shares on the
market at $75 for each 800 share.
and Throw it open to the public. This
stock was offered at the meeting and
the fact that the old stockholders
were liberal subscribers to it shows
that they have full faith in the dis
covery and are willing to make an
other try for the wealth all believe
Is hidden under this section. Twen-
ty-two shares were sold at the meet
ing and there Is evidently little Ques-
tion but what the full amount will
be subscribed in a few days.
After this satisfactory disposition
OF the main business of the evening
a general discussion of enterprises
that are OF great interest to Lamar
was indulged in for some time. May
or Maxwell was called In regard to
the new water works system, end
stated that enough work had been
done ct the Clay Creek station to
demonstrate that the water supply is
ample for a city several times as
large as Lamar. This information
gave general satisfaction to the peo-
pie as all realize that good supply
of fine water. as that is known to be,
brought to town by the gravity sys-
tenn is a boon which no other town
TN this section of the state enjoys,
and will be one Of the biggest induce
ments for people seeking a change
of location.
The road running south Of town
through the sand hills was the next
subject Of discussion and after several
talks regarding the neglected condt
tion it was voted as the sense Of the
meeting that a petition be prepared
and signed asking the commissioners
to repair the bridges on the road
and a committee consisting Of May
or Maxwell, w. ]. Johnston and T.

the matter to the consideration Of

tusst, "The Commercial Relations of
Baltimore 10 the South"
Alter reviewing briefly the early bic.
tory Of the city and It's commercial re-
lstlons, Mr.. Finley said:
"While battling for the trade of the

ton is particularly advantageous for

believe that it is to the south that you
must look for your greatest future trade
Development
"Ihe inevitable result of the develop
meut of the great aud varied natural re-
sources of the south, and southern msn-
ufsotaring industries, is to increase The
population sud the purchasing power of
southern communities. Transportation
is part of production, for neither the
farm, nor the mine, nor the factory can
succeed unless its products are carried
TO the markets where they are in de-
maad Therefore, Mr.. TOsstmaster,
B fillmore snd the other ties that stard
on the border of this great aud rapidly

yard for increased trade opportunities,
Cannot afford to be Indifferent 10 tho
