we wonder what they will do with it.

division, for some reason, now love

seekers can get a job.-La Junta Free

La Junta and Sugar City were the
only towns 10 the county. to fight the
opposition. Rocky Ford kept hand,
of and SO did ManzanOla and Fowler.
The only Fowler men there were
working for division Rocky Ford

Ostensibly Sugar City and all the
towns south OF the riveS were OPP
posed to division, but If there was
opposition It expended itself In talk
on the street corners, for there was n"
organized movement against the pro
posed county Manzanola Sun.
The passing OF the bill means that
after Il tight OF years the people Of
the north side are to have their own
county and in few years IL will be-
one OF the best counties In the state.

Not Such Small Potatoes

In reply to the bilious query by the
La Junta Tribune as to why the late
legislature wanted to create new
county ''out Of almost desert waste"
and with hardly u respectable popu-
lation for county-seat town alone"
(see "Press Comment" In another col.
umn), we wish to meekly suggest to
the Big of that great family journal
that q county which Is valued ut over
S5, 600, 600, is assessed at $4,000. 900 and
paid $3.50, 900 In taxes, which is filed
with growing towns, happy homes and
we'll titled farms lacks considerable Of
being "desert." We are also labor
ing under the delusion that our popu-
lati0n Of 3,6s8 is not such small pota-
toes nor SO few In a hill, In which hal
lucination we are strengthened by the

AMSTERDAM, June 2S.-The sea-
mems strike now ON at this port has
resulted in tying up eight shipping lines
operating out of Amsterdam
The strike has been off for a few
days. but the strikers are now showing
signs Of wanting to return to work. for
the general tie-up which started i'm
England proved a fizzle. The govern
ment had all mail steamers leaving port
on scheduled time and the grievances of
the striking sailors will be adjusted by
a commission.
The government will take a hand in
the strike situation within a few days
should the shipping continue to be
tied up. The men who were employed
to help operate the steamers will be
compelled to return and their claims
against the steamship companies ad-
justed by a board to be appointed by
the government, much the same as in
other European ports.

DRUNKEN WOMAN TO
BE CHARGED AGAIN

After escaping from the Home for

to the vicinity of the institution on
South Ninth street on Thursday even
ing and, going to almost every house
on the street between c and E streets,
begged residents for whisky
Day Patrolman Voglesong, who re-
sides on the street, was informed that
a woman was begging whisky of South
Ninth street residents and the patrol
man placed her under arrest. She was
taken to the Home for Friendless
Women, where she has twenty days
yet to serve on a previous sentence
of drunk
When her presen sentence expires
she will be arraigned again on the
charge of public intoxication. as she,
it is said, was highly" intoxicated on
Thursday evening. She made her es-
cape from the institution while acting
as trusty.

is little chance Of a sudden increase.
Regular anthracite is now listed at
So, ten cents more than at the first
of the month. The egg variety is
marketed at 1915. The other Goals run
down steadily in price until the bot
tom price of $425 is asked for the
mine run of Pocohantas.
Several thousand tons Of coal are
being held in reserve by the local
dealers for fear sudden shortage
might develop. There is no danger
of any suffering from s,oppage of
the supply temporarily. for the firms
here are prepared to carry the city
for almost a month on their regular
stock il they have to. Some OF the
coal men state that a severe storm,
or prolonged period of bad weather.
would be sure to cut off the supply,
as the railroads do not keep their coal
cars in good repair. The possibility
of a shortage lasting longer than the
supply could hold out is SO remote
that local authorities do not even con.
slider it.

A Mathee's Advice,

A mother who has discovered a cure
for quarreling children wants to pass
it along to other mothers at loss to
stop the sharp words and peevishness
passed among their little ones. When
quarrels become too frequent and COM
plants come thick and fast, she tries
separation. She sends one child to
spend the day with an aunt in another
peighborhood. gives a second permis-
sion to visit a playmate and keeps an
other busy at home. When the little
reunion occurs all three are happy to
see each other again, eager to tell of
the things that happened while the
others were away and more tolerant of
each others faults. Children tire of
things easily, SO that a change Of en-
vironment Is needed to set them right.

FUEL OUTLOOK IN
CITY OPTIMISTIC

According to reports from the local
coal dealers, the outlook in that line
is at present about as good as Rich.
mond ever experienced in October
All the firms are we'll stocked, and
claim they could supply the city for
three weeks if all transportation was
cut off. The most optimistic part Of
the situation, from the viewpoint of
the consumer, is that, aside from the
ten-cent increase in anthracite made
by the mine operators the first of this
month, all the prices are the same
they have been for some time.
Pocohontas and Jackson coal, two
of the most popular brands in Rich
mond, are selling for $525 at the deal
ers, and as this price has been station
airy since the twelfth of August, there
