VIII be used for the benefit of the
iarihelS all over the Pee Dee and
should be accessible. This will be
the fourth station in the state di-
rectly under the supervision of

institution and will be in charge of

IS 1T GRAMMAR?

The Denver Times is being
called down for the misuse of
"Who."
One critic sends this shot at the
editor:

by saying on your front page who
do you want for senator?' Don't
you know that you should say
whom d. you want for senstorY
Don't you understand English
GRAMMAR"
Another says: THE word who
or whom in this case is objective,
being governed by the verb want.
And you are the subject. You're
dead wrong. Who did you have
for an English teacher, anyway"
Evidently the last grammarian
did not stop to parse" his inter
rogatory.
The Times still thinks that the
use of ''who" in that case was JUS
titled. Not on grounds of strict
grammar, but on the grounds Of
general usage.
The Times is about right. 1t is
common usage that makes gram
mar and not the grammarians.
How often do We hear good gram.

SAN LUIS VALLEY

JAN AO10 Wallet
The last number of the Railroad
Red book contains the following
concerning Monte Vista and the
San Luis Valley:
When Zebulon Pike discovered
the San Luis Valley more than
one hundred years ago he des-
cribed it as "A terrestrial paradise
shut out from the view of man."
Since that time man has, in.
deed, made paradise" of this
beautiful valley. 1t is hard to
convey the magnitude of this in
land empire with the simple word
valley"
Az to those who have not seen
it, to form a conception of its vast
ness, it is necessary to imagine a
practically level prairie, one hum
dred and twenty miles long and
sixty miles wide, surrounded by
lofty mountains, out of which flow
numerous streams, the waters of
which are diverted through hun
dreds of miles of irrigating canals,
by them distributed over the land,
making it produce the most boun-
tiful crops.
The San Luis Valley is not now
the Paradise of Solitary Vast
ness," seen by Zebulon Pike, but a
modern paradise of industry, be-
ing rapidly settled by industrious
up-to-date farmers who are taking
millions of dollars out of the soil
each year, and are living happy
and content in this modern para
disc.
Monte Vista is the agricultural
and commercial center of the San
Luis Valley; by the last census re-
port it has a population of $500,
being an increase of over 500 per
cent since 1900.
1t 10 modern western town,
primarily of beautiful homes, and
to those seeking home where
there are no extremes, either of
heat or cold, where the sun shines
every day in the year, where there
is an abundance of pure flowing
artesian water, where the schools
are among the best in the United
States, then we invite you to come
and share all Of these good things.
There are two good trout streams
within easy driving distance of
Monte Vista, the Rio Grande and
the Conejos, where the disciples
Of Isaac Walton may enjoy them
selves to their hearts content.
Secretary Wilson in his report
to the United States senate, says:
From the best information l have
it may be stated: The beet sugar
industry, where installed, has been
one OF the most potent factors in
developing agricultural conditions,
not only in sugar production. but
in all agricultural features asso-
ciated. Especially is this true in
the semi.arid West"
The contract has been let and
work commenced on sugar beet

TRAFFIC IN SOUTH AMERICA
Hew Congestion and Accidents Are
Avoided In the Streets Of
Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires is very much unlike
our American cities. In the first place.
there are no sky scrapers. The high.
est building does not exceed seven or
eight stories. Then there are miles
upon miles Of streets with buildings
OF one story predominating. It Is laid
out IN rectangular blocks. average
about 400 feet on each aide. The
streets are narrow, and even In the
residence section they are generally
built clear up 20 the street line. The
principal business streets, such as
Florida, Cuyo, Cangallo, Bartolome
Mitre, San Martin, 25th OF May, etc,
are only sS feet wide, and you will
wonder how the traflc lie managed,
says Travel. II is done in this wise:
Street cars and vehicles are allowed to
move only one way. On the adjoining
street they move In the opposite direc-
ton. 1t Ia surprising how this plan
helps to solve serious problem Of
congestion. Cabs and automobiles
dash along with seeming disregard Of
human life. yet few accidents result.
A uniformed policeman IL stationed at
each street intersection where trafIc

ton OF foot passengers and drivers.
