closed, things broke loose for another
fifteen minutes. The demonstration
Wednesday, at the close of the Prem
dergast speech, was a repetition of
that of Tuesday, though it lasted on
ly As minutes. There were other
demonstrations for convention favor
ties: such as Gov. Johnson of Cali
fornia, Ben Lindsey of Colorado, Miss
Jane Adams of Chicago, Medill
Mccormick of Chicago, Senator Dix
on of Montana, and many others, and
they were spontaneous and genuine.
The personnel of the convention
differed materially from that of other
political gatherings. Two-thirds Of
the delegates were young men, bright,
intelligent, enthusiastic fellows who
were there for a purpose. The older
men were of the better class: the
leaders were the finest in the land.
The women were there in great num-
bers. Massachusetts, had six dele-
gates, Illinois had several, Colorado
had some, and so did other states.
Women were much in evidence in the
galleries. There was an absence of
the professional political boss, the
ward heeler: the red-nosed boozer.
During the three days of the conven-
ton l did not see delegate who APP
peared to be under the influence of
liquor. The Chicago papers said COM
plime ntary things of the rank and
file of the delegates.
Delegates and alternates were there
for a purpose. They talked Roose-
welt less than they did the cause for
which the Progressive party stands.
The question of leadership seemed to
them merely an incident in the fight.
The convention was animated by
something akin to religious zeal.
When the wild demonstration Tues
day was about half spent, the band
away up among the rafters suddenly
struck up the we'll known hymn 'On-
ward, Christian Soldiers" The inn
mense audience sensed the situation,
stopped cheering and waving, then
standing still and erect, in a reverent
manner, sang two stanzas of the fam
Gus hymn. The effect was tremen-
dous. Nothing like it had ever be-
fore been seen in political conven-
ton. That famous hymn was sung
Wednesday during h demonstra-
tion, and also just before adjourn
ment. Julia Ward Howe's gre t
'Battle Hymn of the Republic" was
sung time and again. as were "Amer-
ica," 'sThe Star Spangled Banner
and other similar selections. The re-
suit was that delegates and specta-
tors left Chicago filled with a zeal for
the cause that never before permeat-
ed a big political gathering.
The Progressives were optimistic.
Many who went to Chicago doubling
Thomasas, came away sincerely be-

ARE WORKING FOR
STRONG TEAM

Local pride has never been lack
ing when it comes to base ball and
the splendid record of our last
years team will probably be ex-
celled this season.
Liberal support has been BE-
cured from the business men and
the team has been strengthened
by the addition of two of the best
pitchers that could be found in
the State and also a first and third
baseman. Dutch" Richter is
considered one of the best third
basemen in the State and was with
Dawson last year. Ray Padtield
is a classy man on first and good
hitter.
Captain John Mcintosh as
catcher is demonstrating his ability
and is easily in the front rank of
backstops.
Pete and Ed Bush are getting
into their stride and will hold
their own with the best
Joe Busch, Savage and George
will fill the outfeld and the strays
that escape them will never be
missed. Their batting is fine this
year.
The fans should try to find time
to attend the practices and thus
encourage hard work for the boys.
The base ball schedule has been
arranged for the following dates:
Tuesday, June 25, M. V. vs.. Del
Norte at Monte Vista; Tuesday,
July 2, Alamosa will play here
and the locals will play the return
at Alamosa July 4th for purse of
$4,000.

Starting into business with the
intention of maintaining the high

The store is divided into two
main salesrooms facing east on
Adams street. Seven-foot enclosed
show windows entend across the
front of the building, with the ex-
ception of space necessary for the
two entrances.
The north store room will be
devoted to general hardware, and
is fitted up with the glass-front
sample drawer system of shelves.
These with tool and gun display
cases fill the entire north wall.
Glass show cases for cutlery and

full and delightful climate; the
same productive soil; the same op-
portunities; the same crops and
yields, all show that the same Won
derful results attained in the Gree
ley district can be equaled here.
And not only this, but here in this
much favored section crop is
grown that will fatten and finish
stock for the markets. The Field
Peas are to the San Luis Valley,
what corn is to the states of Iowa
and Illinois, and if this crop could
be successfully grown in the Gree
ley district their land would sell
for $1,000 an acre more than it
does today.
The San Luis Valley raises every
crop that is grown in the Greeley
district and the yield per acre is
Just as large, In addition this
valley produces crop that will
finish stock for the markets, and
because of these facts, we predict
that the year is not far distant
when good irrigated land near
Monte Vista will sell for at least
the same prices as are now paid
for Greeley land
However, before the land values
in this locality will double there
must be an increase in the number
of farms, and when the day comes
that the Monte Vista farms con-
tain from so to 100 acres each, you
will find that this locality Will
boast of every advantage and en-
terprise that Greeley and its irri-
CATION district possesses.
To the man who is looking for a
western home, we desire to say
that here in the San Luis Valley
can be found good irrigated land
for less price than in any other
irrigated valley. The abundance
of water, immense crop yields,
heaIthfulness of the climate, and
splendid drinking water, all com
bine to make this a most desirable
place in which to live. The great
cat fortunes are made in the adj
yances in prices of real estate and
the man who buys good irrigated
land in the San Luis Valley today
for $4,000 an acre or less' VIII
