eagerly sought, sales OF same at 50. go

meal fed steers at S5.75 to ST. 60.
Packers continue to argue that future
markets for beef are not likely to
show any Improvement, but with the
ante Easter fasting now thing OF

sellers look for good markets.
Sheep and lamb receipts are hold

satisfactory, lambs possibly shade

muttons stronger. Run is 5000 head

The question OF satisfying the

be some years before solution to the

STRAY SHOTS

The Cheraw correspondent OF the
La Junta Tribune makessit apparent
that he has rooms to let in his attic.
IL would take a good gucsser to deter
mine what the fellow was actually
driving at in his incoherent thrust at
our north side citizens. Still it was a
sweet morsel to our south side folks
who see nothing good in us except the
money they take from US, without an
equivalent, to build up that side Of
the county.
That illustrious (?) Billy McCaskill
who was elected to represent the
whole of Otero county, but omitted to
look after the north side. secured the
state appropriation for roads for the
building OF another road on the south
side. leaving the north side with
nothing IN the way OF an appropria-
tion for roads or anything else. Sena-
tor Crowley did not raise his voice
opposing this south side grab. either.
1t is Il fine thing to live on the south
side. There is where seldshness is at
a premium. The north side needs its
public thoroughfarcs improved, but
we do not get the benefit OF the money
we pay into the treasury for road
purposes, the greater part of which Is
used to keep up the roads south OF the
river, and every available dollar that
comes to Otcro county from the State
is taken for the south side, and this is
called justice to our people. How long
we shall have to endure this kind OF
treatment remains to be seen. The
action of our Senator and Representa-
tive is strongly condemned as unfair,
and this UNJUST discrimination will
not soon be forgotten. a.
Our County Commissioners are i'm
proving the road leading south from
Ordway to Rocky Ford. This is
probably done for the convenience Of
the people on this side OF the river to
go to Rocky Ford to buy goods and to
attend water melon day later on. We
advise our north side people to buy
their goods at home and to let the
south side people consume the water
melons grown on that selfish soil and
get all the glory out OF that festive
day themselves. Ordway should have
IA water melon day OF its own this year.
There is nothing small about the
average citizen living beyond the
bluffs.

player has nothing to say. But when
the church is full and something is
up, Mr.. Grandstand Player is sure to
get up, and, with flourish Of trum-
