that a merchant Of his town upon

good office. the work Is perfectly sat.

reasonable. The more money 1
spend with my home printer the more
money he will have to spend with
me. Besides this. 1t enables him to
employ more help in his office. and
the money paid to these employees
will find It's way into the home chan
mel OF trade. II l give you an order

taken out OF the town. Even II you
do 1t little cheaper than the home
printer, am compelled to pay ex-

about evens up matters. The home

keep up our institutions: he Is my

In another column OF this issue will
be found an advertisement of The
Otero Irrigation District asking for
sealed proposals to complete the work
on the dam of the Otero reservoir
in Chaffee county. Noonan e. O'Neil.
who have been engaged on the work
for some time and who were under a
$25 900 bond to complete the dam
early in May, have given up the con-
tract, their bondsmen advising the
directors to go ahead and advertise
for bids. II there is any discrepancy
between the new and old contract
the bondsmen have agreed to make
up the difference. 1t is estimated
that 1t will require the removal of
about $4,000 yards of earth to COM
plete the dam. and the contract price
is 80 cents per yard. The bids are
to be opened February sth. and 1t
is hoped that the weather will be
such that work can be resumed on
the dam not later than March lst.
An effort is now being made to Sc
cure permission from the people who
own the bonds of the district to COM
mence the storing of water during the
winter. No attempt has as yet been
made to store water. but considera-
BILE amount could lie stored for irriga-
tion purposes with the dam in its
present unfinished state.

Rocky Ford claims to have a popu-
lation Of over 5000. The official re-
turns are not all In yet, and 1t may
reach 10000 as soon as the census
takers complete their labors. The
newspaper organs of that burg have
never been affiliated with the Anna
Mas Club, and as their reputation for
yeracity has always been good in the
past 1t is fair to presume that the es-
timated population is correct. Rocky
Ford Elks are anxious to establish a
lodge OF the order in that burg. and
as under the laws Of Elkdom 1t Is nee
essary for a town to have populal
tion of 5000, the tribe OF that city
have prevailed upon the city council
to make an official census, and have
asrced to bear all of the expenses
incident thereto. The property valu-
alton of Rocky Ford for the year 1908
is $697 400, and the property valuation
Of La Junta for the same year Is
31,O77. .450-about one-third more than
our neighbor. II Rocky Ford has a
population Of 5000. it is fair to pre-
.aume that La Junta has one-third
more. or 5000. Why not make 1t 49,

FLORIDA's WET CITY SHOCKED BY
PROHIBITION.
People Believe That Measure WIN BE
Rejected at the PolEs--Condemned
Negro Starving Self
to Death.

Pensacola, Fla. April 24.--(Special.)-
That the bill calling for a vote on
Statewide prohibition passed the Leg
tslature. going through the House yes
terday afternoon in whirlwind caused
much surprise in Pensacola. an avow-
ewly wet city. although the county
sent two representatives to the Legis-
lature pledged to vote for the resolu-
tion. ~
r Even with this IT. was not thought
the resolution would be passed, as the
Chamber Of Commerce. bankers and
other prominent business men had
taken a hand in an endeayor to pre-
vent the passage of the resolution, not
that they looked with aisfayor upon
prohibition. but the long and bitter
campaign which is expected to follow
and continue until November. 1910
If the State could be voted dry like
Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. there
would not be so much objection on the
part of business men. In this section
of the State the belief exists, except
among a few that the vets will win
easily unless there is a reaction from
the present feeling. Many who sup
ported the prohibition ticket in the
local option election two years ago
are avowedly against Statewide pro-
hibition. and 1t is the belief that the
same sentiment exists all over the
State.
That Senator Beard voted with the
VETS came also a a surprise, for he
was among the principal speakers and
workers during the dry campaign here,
but he explained his vote by saying
that he did not favor the. resolution
for the reason that the negroes would
be registered in large numbers and
would participate in the election thus
giving them power they would 9TH
erwise not have.
