The La Jara chronicle. (La Jara, Conejos County, Colo.) 1896-19??, 1910-11-04

When you think of man
like j. G. Cantu running for the
legislature in opposition to Hon.
Celestino Garcia it makes you
laugh but when you consider the
possibility of Conejos county s
representative in the capital city
being a man so utterly untitled
for the place and so incongruous
with respect to the position, it
causes us to pause and reflect.
Does Conejos county care for
representation in the state as
sembly or does she merely want
a witness there? Does she wish to
maintain the dignity and respect
of the balance of the state or
would she be satisfied with the
ridicule the election of Cantu
would subject her to. 1t is too
serious a problem to consider
lightly. Cantu is joke and
should never have been nominated
by any party. On the other hand
Celestino Garcia is a man OF abil-
ity, unquestioned integrity and
strict application to duty. His
knowledge of Legislative affairs
is not excelled by any man in
Colorado and he is Il representa-,
tive that any county in the state
would be proud to claim as her
own. Conejos should be more
than proud of him as he is emf
nently fitted for the place and
should send him back with the
biggest majority in history.

A few minutes delay in treating

of time 1t takes to go for doctor

THE DENVER APPLE SHOW.

Its floods; Cortez its fires; Telluride
its bocisades; Silverton has been cut
off from the rest of the world for
weeks at time; and Durango in com.

snowslides, floods and wash,

no trains at all, But In spite of ev.
erything we have prospered. so why
mourn over what cannot be avoided? +?
Consequently. when the writer left for
Denver on the morning of Dec. 81, en-
route for merry week at the apple
show, there were none but pleasur.
able anticipations in spite of the fact
that the transportation had not yet
arrived. 1t was the intention to stay
over night in Chama to attend the
ball given by the stray Elks corralled
there and then go on Saturday morn.

There was jolly crowd on the train
that morning and when Chama drew
near, in spite of the fact that friends
and good time were waiting. it seem
ed too bad not to go on. The apple
queen from Montezuma county and a
number of her friends were Denver
bound. as well as c. F. Bailey and
wife of Aztec, and Mr.. and Mrs. Beach
on their way to take in the Russell
Hayden wedding at Pagosa Springs.
During the morning. Miss Duncan. the
aforementioned queen, said she was
going without her transportation. in
order to do some shopping in Denver,
and that her dress-one of the dresses
she was obliged to leave while still
in sadly unfinished state. Who would
not sympathize with such an unhappy
circumstance? Little did the sympa.
thizer think how much she would need
in that line before many days! As It
was. her parting words were: See
