Population $3.50

A dispatch from Congressman Martin
last Friday brought the disappointing in
formation that Rocky Ford's population.
according to the census enumeration. was
just $3.50 last spring. This is away
short Of the popular estimate. but when
it is understood that only the city proper
is included and the thiokly populated
suburbs of Garden Place. Factory Ter
rae,. etc, are not counted. it is really not
so far from the conservative estimate of
5000.
The population Of La Junta is 4, 1874,
which gives our neiehbors little chance
to crow over US until the taking Of the
next census.

LIBRARY NOTES.
+ ++++++++++++ + + + + .

The issue OF books for December
was one thousand and thirty-six, and
was one of the best months of the
year just closed. The monthly aver
age for the year falls somewhat short
of the average monthly circulation
for 1909. But the growth of the Ii
brary both in additions of books and
in usefulness to the people, shows d
better record than for the previous
year. The small falling off in bool
borrowing has been more than made
good in the increased use of reference
books and periodicals. Both thes.
have been made specially good use
of by our public schools.
The use of the reading room has
been more general, and the better
class of our periodicals has beer
more read.
The librarian has to thank Miss
Eva and Master Alfred Baldwin for
a donation of fifty books from theii
home library, given us on their de
parture for Denver to make their
home The Baldwins are book read
ers who have enjoyed the privilege
of the library freely while they have
been residents of the town, and thi.
donation of books shows their appre-
citation of public library. The
books are mainly juvenile fiction oi
the lighter sort, but have also some
of the old classics.
The Librarian wants also to thank
Mr.. w. X. Wintcrhaltcr, who is also
leaving Rocky Ford, much to its re-
gret. to take up residence in Cali.
fornia, for the interest he has shown
in our public library. A liberal sub
scriber to periodical literature him
self, he has furnished the reading
room with some excellent things in
that line which the book committee
did not see its way to affording
Among these may be mentioned al
the 1910 issues of Outdoor Life and
Field & Stream.
Mr.. +. T. Woodruff, La Junta, has
had sent to the library all the current
issues OF that excellent journal ot
constructive philanthropy The Sur
vey, for 1910.
