GOOD TIMES WITH 9

A New York man taking an op-
timistic view OF the business outlook
for 1909, says:
"The 9's in American history have
always been characterized by prosper
ity," he said last night, land If the
tradition holds out and surface indi-
cations are correct, 1909 will be a
corker. Running over history you
will find the panic of '37 was succeeded
by the great boom of 80. In 40 gold
was found in California. Pixies Peak
was discovered In 80 and the mines Of
Colorado opened.
In 80 the era OF reconstruction set
In and the prosperity that followed
has never been equalled. In 10 came
another readjustment of industrial
conditions, particularly In the south,
and great prosperity followed. In 'S9
came the boom that collapsed In '93
In 80 the opening up of the Klondike
and the revival OF trade after the
Spanish war brought another boom.
1t looks as if history will repeat itself
in 1909 wonder what great discov-
cry beneficial to the commerce Of the
country will be made9"

More About Division
SOME FIGURES TO SHOW HOW
OTERO COUNTY RANKS WITH

That Otero county is large enough,
has wealth and population enough to
readily allow OF It's being divided. Is
shown by the following figures, which
show Its standing In the state AS com

The combined vote last November
OF the following eight counties was
less than that OF OterO county: Ar
chuleta, Custer, Baca, Grand, Kiowa,
Mineral, Phillips and Sedgwick.
Otcro's vote exceeded the combined
vote OF these four: Bent, Prowers,
Kiowa, and Kit Carson.
Kiowa county has levy OF 81 mills
rs against Otero's 10 mills and has
$50, 900 or more piled up in her treasury.
Kiowa has "made good" since being
divorced from old Bent, in spite OF
the protests that were offered at the
time the division was first agitated.
That division would be beneficial
to both sides Of Otero county seems
evident, for the only argument offered
so far against IL, is that the loss of
revenue from the sl,5OO,OO0 assessed
valuation on this side would cripple
the old county and raise their taxes
still higher; yet in the same breath,
they declare that as the valuation and
population increases, the taxes seem
to be raised. Verify, we fail to see
wherein this side is of any benefit to
the old county, and as far as improve
ments on our side are concerned, we
also fail to see wherein we derive any
benefits from the present arrange.

Special to THE New ERA
Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 18th.
Cattle receipts here last week footed
up nearly 80, 600 head, and there was a
liberal percentage of hay fed cattle
from Colorado and the Southwest,
aud of sugar mill cattle from northern
Colorado included. The market had a
weak tone every day except Friday,
when the week closed with a slightly
firmer feeling. Run today is 10000
head. several thousand head less than
a week ago, and as other markets
have receipts about 30 per cent less
than on last Monday, prices are
steady to strong as compared with
last Friday. Buyers have favored
medium priced steers for the last
week or two, which makes cattle from
the range suffer only the minimum OF
declines. Top on hay fed steers last
week was $565, and on sugar mill
steers $3.50, ranging downwards In
both classes to $3.50, cows So 80 to
$5 25. Demand for stockers and feed
ers fell off last week, and prices closed
% to 40 cents lower, although choice
Colorado feeders brought S4.9d, and
stockers up to $40. New Mexico and
Utah stockers ranged from $3.50 to
81. .85, COWS $500 to s4.75, bulls 1928 to
s4.OO. Receipts from the range coun'
try are small today.
Sheep and lambs lost ground all or
last week, and closed 25 to 40 Genus
below the high figures OF Monday and
Tuesday. Run was $4,000 for the
week, about the same as correspond
Ing week year ago. The supply Is

TIME FOR THE KNIT SWEATER.
Handmade Article Decidedly in Sea-
son Just Now.

This is the season when the girl
who knits as a pleasant pastime puts
away silk neckties and turns her at
tention to sweaters. These popular
outing wraps are something of a task,
as they take time to finish, but the
handmade sweater is so attractive
when finished that it well repays one
for the hours spent upon it.
The latest ideas in them are most
attractive. The new one is a modi-
fcation of the coat sweater, is single
breasted and reaches almost to the
knees. The collar and rever are SINH
lar to the those on a mans frock coat
and there is breast pocket and two
hip pockets, finished with flaps that
fasten with pearl buttons.
The sleeve is tight and finished with
narrow ribbing instead of a cuff The
stitch used is the ordinary knitting
one that forms a small ridge. or the
body of the coat is made with a fan
cy stitch, and the revers, cuffs and
pocket flaps in plain knitting.
For a younger girl there is a smart
handmade sweater that reaches to
hips and fastens on shoulder and down
one side, with large pearl buttons.
The body of the sweater is knit in
white or gray worsted in a fancy
stitch, and the border, down the side
where it fastens, the turnback cuffs
and the pocket are in plain knitting in
contrasting color.
Directions for knitting these sweat
ers are sold with the wool; the
stitches can be quite easily mastered
by the woman who has had even a
slight experience with knitting.

MERITS OF THE BYRON COLLAR.
DeservedIy Popular, and Will Be Worn
All Winter

The round, low collar known as the
Dutch or Byron collar, which came
into fashion last summer, has so
gained in popularity that women will
wear it indoors all winter. 1t is a
much more comfortable piece of neck
wear for everyday use than the high
turnover collar, which catches one I'M
der the chin, or the high stock with its
prodding whalebone
This Byron collar is made of linen,
without ornament, or of embroidery
and lace with ruffle at the edge II is
attached to the necllband of the
blouse and finished in front with a
wide loose bow.
This kind of cravat is very much In
favor with all kinds of neckwear. Mes
saline ribbon is used in various colors
and the ends and loops are almost the
same length. 1t is called the Byron
cravat, and goes very well with the
collar of that name

Sheer Hanoinus.

Point d'alencon lace is returning to
favor for sheer hangings in boudoirs.
1t is very light and delicate and in
good patterns and quality it is very
charming indeed. The difficulty with
lace curtains of every sort seems to be
that they appeal so directly to the
vulgar sense of the luxurious that
they are very sure to be copied in
exceedingly coarse material This
makes even the finer qualities very
undesirable, and so the fine muslin
curtains which seem not to appeal at
all to coarser taste have an advantage
over those of lace
