SEE THAT YOU ARE
 ENUMERATED

The record upon which Conway's s population will be based for the next ten years is now being made and will be completed within a few days. Let everybody cooperate with Enumera- tor J. B. Higgins to see that Conway takes her rightful rank among the cit ies and towns of Arkansas. He is now completing the Second ward and has already worked the Third ward. If you live in either of these wards and have reason to believe you have not been enumerated, see him or ad- dress a card to him at once. This is especially important if you have re- moved from one ward to another dur ing the progress of the census. If you know of any person or family who was living here on April 15 and since moved away, call the attention of the enumerator to the fact.
 Don't delay the enumerator by keeping him waiting while you make yuor toilet when he calls at your home. His call is purely an official one.

CAPITAL IS COMING

A party of Ohio capitalists ar
rived in town Wednesday morning
and were met at the train by quite
a number of our business men
and taken to the Club room and
entertained a short time and then
accompanied to Center and Hooper.
These men were here to look over
the Valley in general but more
particularly the Medano ranch of
some $4,000 acres. 1t is the pur-
pose of the owners of this big
ranch to put it under an adequate
system of irrigation by reservoirs
and then dispose of it to ranch
men.
To do this it will require capital
and these parties have been asked
to float the necessary bonds. Hence
their trip to the ranch.
These men expressed themselves
as we'll pleased with the San Luis
Valley and the enterprise shown
by the men who have changed
some 100000 acres from u desert
to one of the most productive sec
tons of country in the West.
There are rs yet some 100000
acres OF agricultural lands in the
Valley that have never been cult
waited for lack OF water, but within
the next twenty years water will
be supplied BY reservoirs and
pumping plants.

REBUILDING Is BEGUN

o. A. Cramer has n draft of / is
new store building which looks
good. When completed, this build
ing will be an ornament to the
town.
The plan provides for two
story building 75xl5O feet, with
departments for hardware, dry
goods and groceries.
Monte Vista proposes to keep in
the lead rs the trading center Of
the valley, and the large patronage
from outside towns would argue
that she is delivering the goods.

HOTEL MEETING

some nifty or mOIe u tne buSl-
ness men met at the Club rooms
Tuesday night TO talk over hotel
matters. There we're two plans
presented for consideration, one
by W. B. Peacock, of this city,
and the other by q. L. Harvey,
the Denver architect.
Mr.. Harvey's plan was for two
story building. On the ground
floor are two business rooms 25x4O
feet, barber shop, billiard rooms,
Office rooms, dining rooms, recep-
ton room, sample room, cooking
department, etc. The second floor
provides for q bed rooms, closets,
bath and 80 forth. Mr. Harvey
had another plan which provides
third story with an additional 10
rooms, making in all 40 bed rooms.
The estimated cost of two
story structure is something like
$32, 600 aud a three story at $4,000.
L. H. Chapman, Who has had
experience in the hotel business
in Monte Vista, was firmly of the
opinion that nothing less than
4O-room hotel would meet the de.
mands Of the town 1t the present
time. he also suggested that the
expense Of maintaining 27-room
hostelry would be practically the
same as that Of . N-room house
and that the larger would be more
easily leased to q hotel man. This
seemed to be the opinion of all
present.
The amount subscribed is only
about $4,000 and The question
was raised - to how to secure the
elO. 600 or SIS, 900 additional.
Those who have tAken stock
thus far subscribed, nth . view
Of getting some returns on their
capital were quick to zee that a
40-room hotel would pay q divi-
dend, while q smaller house would
be doubtful proposition. 1t was
therefore the unanimous opinion
OF those present that more money
should be raised and the commit
tee we're instructed to solicit the
necessary funds for three.story
house.
Plans for three. story building
will be prepared by the architects
and then more definite estimates
can he made Of the cost.
As soon as plans can be ap.
proved, work on the building will
follow at once.

be sufficient to assist in establishing

ital into an enterprise but OF support

RAISING FIGS FOR MARKET.

A movement is now under way to
encourage the growing Of figs in Geor-
gia for the Northern markets. It is
claimed that properly refrigerated the
fruit can be put down in New York
and other cities as fresh and sweet as
when picked from the tree, and that a
sufficient demand would soon arise to
make the growing Of the fruit profit
able.
Everyone knows the tendency of
the fig to sour very quickly after being
picked. While it is probable that with
refrigerator cars the fruit could be
transported to the North it is doubtful,
it appears to US that it can ever be
marketed there in any large quantities.
It will be necessary to sell it immed-
lately after it is taken from the refrig-
orators and consume it within a short
time. Otherwise the fruit would be
spoiled.
There is another way oD9Z to the
growers of figs, though to make them
a source Of revenue, and that would
be through preserving them. There is
no more delicious preserve than that
made from the figs grown in this state.
Put up in good packages they should
be a highly attractive delicacy
throughout the North and West. More
money would doubtless be made in this
way than in an endeavor to ship the
fruit in its natural state. And there
would be no enormous bills to pay for
refrigerator car services, much money
would be turned loose, if the preserv-
ing industry attained any proportions,
for labor, anil the business interests Of
this section considerably promoted.
There are other things besides figs
that might be profitably canned or
preserved in this section. Some day
we will seize this opportunity and de-
velop a large and profitable industry
along these lines.

JOY IN THE JUNGLE.

New York SUM
The lion Tolls in the jungle
And combs his tangled name,
AS he lazily blinks
And cheerfuliy thinks
Ii VIII never come back again.
The rhinOceros rolls in his WalIOT
And gruuts in his sloppy lair,
As he loudly blows
And really knows
1t has gone away from there.
The elephant strOlls at his pleasure
Through the still and leafy woods,
As he shakes his fat
Since he's certain that
II has disappeared for good.
The hipDopotamus splashes
TIE sadgy swamp 10 a foam
As ne learns with JOY
From a niger boy
1t has struck a trail for home.
The camelopard stretches his larynx
And lets loose a grateful whooD
That knocks out'the blues
Whe he hears the news
It has really skipt the coop.
There is rest all over the jungle;
In the open air in the lair
They are lying around
With their ears on the ground
To hear when it lights elsewhere.
