RAILROAD MEETING
Is CALLED
Will Convene Saturday at
Town Hall

AuurbuAy aIU0rnOOn tnefe was a
meeting of the business men and
a number of ranchmcn of the
vicinity at Monte Vista to hear a
report of Engineer Young of the
proposed San Luis Valley Rail
road company.
The ranchmen whom this road
will accommodate shipped $4,000
tons last season, and it is esti-
mated the shipments this year will
reach $500 tons.
T. A. Cosgriff and brother,
bankers, of Denver, are prepared
to finance this road, and they are
practical railroad builders. They
propose to build the road on the
cooperative plan with the mon
! most vitality interested in the
building of the road-the ranch
men and the business men of the
| valley.
Careful estimates of what IT.
costs to market farm products is
cent per 100 pounds per mile or
20 cents per ton per mile. There
fore, ii Quarter section of land
produces $50 tons of products and
10 10 miles from the rail road, the
cost Of hauling the crop to market
would be $500 annually. To
a man who can save 10 miles, the
road consequently will be worth
to him on the above basis $500 a
year. provided his crop yields $50
tons, which is u fair average.
The ranchmen whose land will
be 10 miles nearer to the new road
than it is now to the ID. e. r. G.
will be asked to subscribe to 500
OF the preferred stock in the new
company. The saving on one
years hauling will amount to
more than his subscription.
OF course new roads are not ex.
pected TO pay dividends the first
few years, but stock will probably
intimately go to par. But even
suppose the stock should fail to
pay dividends. every ranchmnn
gets back his money invested in
the saving of freight and team.

The proposition looked good to
all who attended the meeting
Thursday. and there being some
500 quarter sections affected by
this enterprise, there is not time
enough to canvass the country and
explain tho plan To one man mt a
time.
Hence il was decided TO call d

that the Fourth of July celebration
this year will be radical departure
from the old-time methods of honor
ing this suspicious day. The terrible
loss of life that has accompanied
every Fourth of July celebration In re-
cent years is the cause of this legis-
lation.
The present generation does not re-
member that during the latter part of
the eighteenth century, ard even
during the greater part of the nine
teenth, there were no such fireworks
and explosives as are used today in
celebrating the anniversary of tnde-
pendence. Our forefathers In knee
breeches and powdered hair celebra-
ted the day chiefly by patriotic
speeches and dinners. Every club,
every society and organization met
around the festive board and honored
the day In song and story.
The nature of the speeches and
dinners varied with the locality, but
in one respect all were the same.
They agreed absolutely in the number
of toasts. It was the custom to have
thirteen toasts-representing, of
course, the thirteen original states.
With the admission of new states this
custom died out, probably because the
bandueters were unable to drink SO
much.
Parades in the larger towns were
features of the celebration during the
early years of the republic, but the
principal part of the celebration was
the banquet and its oratory. In re-
cent years, however, there has been a
great falling off In the exuberant quail.
ties of patriotic oratory and the day
has been celebrated with mere noise.
The prophecy of John Adams has
come true: THE day Is celebrated
with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bont1res
and Examinations from one end of the
country to the other" Oratory. prayer
and praise are forgotten and the old
time decorous celebration of the day
has seemingly passed away forever.
It should not be taken from this
that there was no noise connected
with the early celebrations. Quite
the contrary. Salutes of guns were
fred, bells were rung, and in the eve
ming tar barrels were burned, but
there was not the continuous success
sion OF noises which mark the cele
bration today. Nor was there any
list of dead and injured on the day
following.
Nearly every resident of city who
can do SO goes out of town to avoid
the noise of the Fourth. Just the re
verse was true OF the early celebra
tons. The first big celebration waf
held In Boston In ITS. All the yes
sells In the harbor fired salutes in the
morning, and the day was given UP tt
oratory, prayer and praise. Societies
and organizations held banquets al
noon and In the evening, and the cele
bration was concluded with the burn
ing OF tar barrels and more salutet
rom the ships in the harbor.

punch for the Fourth.

Plain lemonade may be metamor-
phosed into lemon ginger punch by
adding to each quart of lemonade an
equal amount of ginger ale. Have
ready also a number of sprays of
fresh mint and bruise the lower leaves
and stems between the fingers so as
to bring out the mint flavor. Put
these into the punch half hour be-
fore serving. This Is particularly
popular at afternoon teas, piazza or
roof parties or any social function
where men are represented.-Emm

works began to have a place in the
celebration. These were harmless and
simple compared with the nerve-shat-
tering explosives which are put on the
market today Not only were they
less dangerous and noisy, but their
use was restricted to a comparatively
small number of people. Those who
were unable to get fireworks got out
their muskets and shot them off
Others fired improvised cannons.
Even blacksmiths got out their anvils
and by placing powder in little holes
were able to touch 1t off SO that 1t
made satisfactory amount of noise.
With the increase of the noise came
the decrease in the patriotic orations
and prayers. Before the fiftieth cele-
bration of the day had been observed
noise had almost entirely supplanted
oratory.
The question today is, how should
the Fourth of July be celebrated? The
manner in which 1t lis celebrated,
many declare, is not In entire keeping
with the spirit of the day nor the
comfort and pleasure of the majority
of citizens
Those who would reform the man.
ner of celebration say the day should
be kept not SO much In remembrance
of the feats of American arms as for
the spirit of liberty and progress. It
should be a true festival without for
getting the claims of the young.
There should be civic banquets, gath
erings at which the progress made in
all lines during the past year could be
reviewed. There should be oratory
and speeches In every community,
with an effort to make the celebration
more like the early observances.
There should be professions, but
they should be less military In char
acter than formerly And, quite as
important, there should be no mon
ster concerts and entertainments
where nobody has a good time, but
divers assemblages where every one
can enjoy himself. The day should be
ushered In with martial music and
sufficient military display to be In
keeping with the spirit of the occa-

quets. exercises for children and pub
lie gatherings should be the real fea-
lures of the celebration. In the e.

less noisy and the more spectacular
the better.
When the day Is celebrated In tnis
way there will be no occasion for PEG.
pie of refined taste and sensitive
nerves to leave the city to escape the
noise and crowds. say the reformers
In fact, the celebration lust proposed
will attract rather than dispense
them. And IL Maxim's new noiseless
gun is adopted there is no reason
why the problem of safe and sane
Fourth cannot be solved for all time.

Value of CheerfuIness.

Cheerfulness Is one of the most val.
liable assets that a girl can possess.
For 1t will make friends, will hold
them, and. best of all. II will inspire
the individual with courage during diff
ficult experiences that she might fail
In did she not buoy herself up with
an outward pretense of happiness.
The cheerful girl is a distinct addition
in any group. She need rot be witty.
nor constantly talking if she has sc.
renity and happiness In her disposi-
ton, for she gives 1t out as uncon
sciously as the sun sheds its rays. and
1t Is sufficient In point OF fact. peo-
pie are like plants; they turn to the
light OF happiness and from the shad
ow Of discomfort
To tell the truth, no persons life ia
entirely free from perplexities of
some kind. Everyone has his own
troubles; and to forget them is
component part OF happiness Each
Individual has far too many woes to
wish to hear those Of others. If we
did not have trouble we should not
have happiness; If life were all one
round Of pleasure. then we should
know nothing Of the real meaning of
happiness It would be as dull as a
picture In which there were no shad.
