Extend Rates West

Some time ago President l.. M.
Markham of the Commercial Club
took up with w. o. Skinner. divis-
ion freight agent of the Santa
Fe the matter of obtaining fair
rate on lumber and cement ship
ments between Lamar and Las
Animas in less than carload lots.
For years there has been in effect
rate of seven cents per hundred
pounds ON lumber, in shipments of
five thousand pounds or more, be-
tween Lamar and Syracuse. The
published rate. however. did not
apply west from Lamar and ship
pers have had to pay tariff based
upon mileage. When unfortunate
breaks have occurred. in canals to
the east of Lamar they have been
able to make prompt shipments of
material to properly repair the
same at low rates. These shipments
have been made when, owing to the
condition of the roads, the mater
ial could not be delivered by team.
This favorable condition did not
come to the canals to the west of
Lamar. The Santa Fe saw the rea-
sonableness of the request made by
the Commercial Club and rate of
seven cents per hundred upon lum-
Der, less than carloads. is now be-
ing published. The new rate ap-
plies between Lamar and Las Ami
mas and between Las Animas and
Lamar. This rate will prove Of
assistance to the Fort Bent canal,
the Keesee canal and all of the ir-
rigation projects upon the. Purga-
tore and Mud Creek.

CITIZENS MEETING AT CLUB
Everybody Should Turn Out Next
Tuesday Evening TO Discuss
Important Matters

The meeting of the club last
Monday evening to discuss the
south road was not largely attend
ed but the matter was thoroughly
discussed by those present, and on
motion of Secretary Chas. Maxwell
of the club a committee of three
was appointed by Chairman l.. M.
Markham as follows: w. G. Gould,
w. ]. Johnston and l. l.. Maxwell
to interview the city council and
county commissioners with regard
to raising funds to put the road In
good condition. 1t was unanimous
ly agreed that the present route
was the most available in every re-
spect and all work should be done
on 1t.
A general meeting of the citizens
of Lamar and vicinity was then call
ed to meet at the Club rooms on
next Tuesday evening to hear the
report of the committee and also
to consider the county fair for the
coming year. Mr.. Maxwell. manager
of the mill, who last year and for
several years has shouldered the
entire burden of carrying the fair
has been forced by the growing bur
den to give notice that he will
not do 30 this year.
The annual deficit Is large
enough to be a heavy burden on
one man, but divided among fifty
or one hundred citizens would be
practically nothing when compared
to the vast amount Of pleasure and
good thds annual gala week brings
to the people of the town and sur
rounding country. Our citiznes can
not afford to let this matter drop
and 1t is unfair to go on expecting
one man to carry the burden.
The dates fixed for Lamar by
the Santa Fee Racing Circuit are
August 20 to 30. and the matter
should be definitely settled at
once 50 that the horse men will
have ample notice and will not en-
ter their horses elsewhere. This
matter should insure q big crowd
at the meeting next Tuesday even
ing to consider all phases of 1t
and the road question.
Remember all citizens interested
are invited to this meeting. It 10
not a club meeting but all are
urged to be present.

= fact, it differs only IN very
slight degree from the religion Of
Christ. who came 500 years later.
There have been many changes mace
in the teachings of both masters by
their followers priests .translators ana
interpreters. Buddhism as IL IS IOuAe
in the orient today. is, rarely the same
thing which BUddah taught, and 1t is
almost Invariably depressing, just as
tan fathers was depressing
Old fashioned Christianity and Bud
dhism both dwell too much upon the
unhappy phases of this earth lie, up
on the sham and snallOWEess of All
earthly hopes and pleasures, and up
on the pUfely mortal plane in which
we live while here.
The religion the world needs today
is the religion of hope, courage and as

which used to exist between mothers
and children To counterbslance this,
however, there are fewer tryrannical
parents. There is little left OF that Cal

venile wrong doing. The modern child
has, generally speaking. more room TO
