The Simplex type setting machine
upon which the New Era Is now being
set is driven by one. half horsepower
electric motor, the first to be put in
to operation In Ordway. The motor
works.smoothIy and gives perfect sat

and handler than a gasoline engine
and the speed is much more uniform,
something which Is essential with the
Simplex. Our friends are invited to
come In and see the new machine in
operation. In addition to having the
first electric motor In the town, we
also have the distinction OF having the
first typesetting machine in Crowley

There'll Be Plenty

The instituting Of the suit last Mon
day cOntesting the county-seat cleo
tion drew another broadside from the
Ordway press this week, but some-
what different in tone from the bonn
bard dments OF several weeks back. The
New Era and the Call both insisted
during the late campaign that gross
frauds would be committed at the
election. And surely after all that
noise they should have no objection to
looking into the matter and deter.
mining just how much Of that fraud
was really committed-and where and
by whom.-Sugar City Gazette.
1t is highly probable that when
those Sugar City parties get into court
there will be plenty OF the grossest
kind OF fraud shown-and 1t won't be
fraud committed In Ordway, either.

of exhibiting double gall that
Sugar City bunch has all Others. both

Day Current Has
Been Discontinued
Service Abandoned Because of
Refusal of County Board to
Grant Right of Way *

Tuesday the day electric light and
power current which patrons OF the
Ordway Electric Light and Power
company have enjoyed for several
months was shut Off, consequent upon
the recent action of the Crowley coun-
the Arkansas Valley Light and Power
company right-Of-way for their poles
through the county 1t had been the
intention OF the local company to
lease power from the Pueblo company
and hold the Ordway plant merely az
a reserve, thus cheapening the product
and at the same time securing better
current. The hitch came because
the company wished to carry the line
over from Rocky Ford. the central
distributing point for this section OF
the valley. while the commissioners
wanted the company to branch off at
Fowler and come through Olney
Springs. 1t Is unfortunate for Ord
way that local prejudice was allowed
to interfere with the betterment OF
the service and we believe that the
cnmmi issioncrs have made Il serious
mistake In this matter. 1t Is to be
hoped that when the new board IL in

good "pulling" points. There was ab-

knowing who the writer was. The
choice OF the judges was unanimous.
