d. U. Boyce, the Manassa photog-
rapher, while here Tuesday exhibited
a very good picture of the hunting
party, taken upon their return from
their lion hunt up the Alamosa can
yon last week. In spite of the fact
that the sun was low-making time
exposure necessary-and the dogs
restless. nearly every detail in the
photograph is sharp and clear
Wednesday night was one of the
coolest of the winter. A storm was
: general over all of Colorado, four
teen inches of snow being reported in
Denver. At La Jara, little snow fell
: but a cold wind made the day a bad
one. Tuesday nights train from Du-
range stuck in the snow at Big Horn,
few miles west of Antonito, and did
not get out until Wednesday after
noon. Thursday the sunshine came
prevails.
Charles S. Barnes, who writes hy-
draulc engineer after his name, has
opened an office in Monte Vista for
the purpose of selling stock in the
San Luis Valley Power company.
The scheme is to lift water for ir-
! rigation from the underflow of the
valley with electric pumps. Mr.. Bar
mes says, in the prospectus of his COM
pany. that he is the owner of a power
site on the Conejos river where s.
900 horse power of electrical current
can be generated. Within fifty miles
of this power site are 100000 acres
of good land without water rights
which can be made productive by
pumping. He figures that the total
expense will be $50 per acre. Mr.
Barnes seems to have taken hold
where A. b. Hulit left off.
Bishop Christen Jensen writes to
friends from Little Rock, Arkansas,
hat so far he has found no definite
trace of his missing son. The last
person who remembers seeing him
was policeman. He asked the po-
'iceman if he knew the railroad fare
to Romeo, Colorado. The officer di-
rected him to the railroad station, at
the same time remarking that he
seemed sick and in a daZed condition,
The young man never appeared at
the station, or at least did not ask
the same question. as the agent says
he would have remembered il had he
done so. Money belonging to the
young man was found in his room
and 1t seems probable that he had
little, if any, money on his person
at the time of his disappearance.
Bishop Jensen writes that the Off
GERS and citizens of Little Rock
have been very kind and assisted
with the search in every possible
way. He says they have dragged the
river until forced to the conclusion
that further effort in that direction
would be of no use and that they have
turned the city upside down without
result. The bishop believes that
