talking about Oregon and the north
west these days? Dozens OF La Jun
ia people are making arrangements
to visit that section during the COM
ing summer with q view to locating.
They have heard SO much and read
so much about the great northwest
that they are going up there to in
vestigate for themselves. And why?
Simply because the people of The
northwest have found out that 1t pays
in the upbuilding OF communities is
nowhere more appreciated than in
the Pacific Northwest, and much OF
the wonderful development that Sec
during the past few years is due to
the effective methods which have
been utilized in bringing to the at
tention OF the investor, the home
fractions. Did you read Mrs.
Scheets' letter from the Northwest
last week? According to that epis-
tie dozens OF towns are spending
from $4,000 to $4,000 for publicity
this year. Half million dollars were
expended by that section last year
In telling the world of its ad-
vantages, and the result more than
justifies the expenditure. How much
has La Junta expended during the
past dozen years for publicity? Not
even a sum total of thirty cents, and
yet La Junta has grown and thrived
and progressed remarkably in doz
en- years, In spite of knockers. and
without any concentrated effort Of
any description. With equally AS
great advantages and opportunities as
many towns in the Pacific Northwest,
and an all year round climate that is
SO far superior as to be outside the
pale of comparison. La Junta, and all
of Colorado for that matter. has
passed up the advertising stunt like a
white chip and thereby delayed the
wonderful development which Is sure
to be her final destiny. There are
SO many irrigation and other pro-
jects on foot just at present. having
for their object the development OF
Colorado's dormant opportunities. that
1t is difficult to keep track Of them.
and now Is the time to inaugurate a
vigorous advertising campaign and

r. H. Norton and H. Savage. di-
rectors of the Otero Irrigation Dis
trict, returned home last Wednesday
from a trip to the Clear Creek res
ervoir site to inspect the work and
the progress that has been made on
the dam. About ! 900 yards of earth
per day are being moved at the pres
ent time and 1t is hoped to have
the dam completed not later than
the middle of June. About eighty
teams and an equal number OF men
are at present engaged upon the
work, but so many huge boulders
have been encountered OF late that
1t has been impossible to operate
both Of the steam shovels all OF the
time, and this in consequence has
delayed the work. The crest of the
dam, when completed. will be twelve
feet above the water line. and In
the event of a freshet or the early
melting Of the snow in the noun
tains 1t Is hoped at least to have
the dam completed to the water line
so that 1t will be safe. The direct
ors have provided for every emer-
gency, however, and have 10000 feet
of lumber on the site with which to
construct a flume to carry the water
over the dam in case Of an early and
unusual flood.

Don't get it into your head that
strict quarantine regulations are all
right when enforced against your
neighbor and all wrong and needless
when there Is a case of contagious
sickness in your own family. 1t Is
as much the business of the health
officers to compel you to obey the
law and thus protect your neighbor's
children as 1t is for them to enforce
the law against your neighbor for the
protection of your children. This is
the only way to look at matters of
this kind. When the department
says that your child. i'll with jiph-
iberia, must not mingle with other
children, even though 1t is able to
be up and running around, you should
see to it that these instructions are
carried out to the letter. And the
same should be true respecting any
and all the instructions given by The
health officers for the protection of
the public health.
