Labor Is Scarce

Reports come in from one end Of
the valley to the other that laborers
are wanted and wanted bad, and so
far as We can learn, the same condi-
tions exists over this immediate sec i.
tion of the country. The rains of
the past few weeks have delayed
crops Of all kinds to such an ex-
tent that the work Of caring for them,
now that the weather has cleared, is
beginning to be pretty much Of seri-
GUS problem to the farmers. The
work in most immediate need, a. We
understand it, is thinning bsets,
planting cantaloupe seed and harvest
ing hay, and it is q little hard for the
farmer to see how be can attend to it
all at onca.
The wet weather has put the ground
in excellent condition for working and
1t is tho general opinion that very
little irrigation will he necessary for
some time. The success of the beet
and cautsloupe crops depend, to a
great extent, on their being given i'm
mediate attention, aud it is safe to say
that man looking for work need not
look very long in this meek Of the
woods" In fact, il he 10 not want

Seriously speaking, there is work
for all who wish it, and the Iaborer

surroundings will be pleasant and his

Plan of Reorganization

The job department. OF the New Era
is now at work on l2. page bnoklet
which sets forth the complete plans
for the reorganization Of the Bob Creek
Canal and the Twin Lakes Reservoir.
This bouklet will come of the press
during the early part OF next week.
and will then be ready for distribu-
tion.
This plan is OF vital interest to the
farmers OF this section In that the
number OF water rights and the acre.
age under the Twin Lakes reservoir,
the river and Lake Meredith and
Lake Henry are materially reduced
and provides for placing the control
of the water situation directly in the
hands OF the owners OF the rights,
and is interesting all the way through.
The plan as set forth at recent
meeting Of over 200 water right
holders in the town Of Ordway, Is
given complete on page eight Of this
issue OF the New Era.

X. P. Organization
A Successful Event
Contract is Let

Sealed bids wore received by the di-
rectors Of the OIdway school district
until noon last Saturday for the con-
st1uction OF the Ordwsy school build
ing and contractors from all over the
state made an attempt to land the
job. When the bids we're opened it
was found that Frank Taylor of
Pueblo was lowest bid der, his figures
being $1s,37O. This does not include
installing the heating system, the
board rejecting all bids on that part of
the contract.
Mr.. Taylor is one OF the largest con-
tuactoIs in the state, having erected
the court house for Pueblo county and
the Central high school building in
Pueblo among other large buildings
over the state. His bid was over $500
less than the lowest. While the
board regrets that local contractors
failed to get the job they are pleased
to award the contract to SO capa BILE
man as Mr.. Taylor has proven himself
to be.
Grey brick will be used in the con-
struction of the building and the board
hopes to see the old part rebuilt of
similar material within the next few
years in order that it may conform
with the new part.
No time will be wasted in getting
work started and when completed Ord

Stub" Is Discontinued
AS Forecast By New Era

As announced BY the New Era in its
issue of June 18th, trains No. 35 and
36, better known in these diRgipgs as
the "Stub" which struggled to get
passengers from Sugar City and inter.
mediate points to Pueblo and return,
via the Missouri Pacific, gave one
final gasp and turned its toes to the
daisies with the return trip Tuesday
evening. No official reason is given
for tile demise, but the common be-
lief 10 that the life Of the train was
not paying proposition. so the fire
was pulled from its vitals and the
steam let out after the return from
Pueblo Tuesday evening. and the en-
gine will NO doubt be removed to
other and more fertile territery, where
substantial appreciation Of its efforts is
moro In evidence.
With the removal Of the Stub

was called. He stopped breathing.
however, before the doctor arrived,
only few moments after l got there.
Blood was gushing from his nose

'' The only reasonable solution Of
the accident Is that in taking the
measurements for the clearance for the
Western Union wire under the high
power transmission wires, johnson
carried . piece of No. 3 galvanized
wire to the top of the pole with him,
one end Of which was bent over hook
shape, and to the opposite end Of
which was attached rope. This wire
he no doubt held in his right hand TO
hook over the transmission wire, at
the same time holding to the steel
beam of the pole or one OF the wires
with his left hand. When the wire
attached to the rope came in contact
with the power wire circuit WAS
formed which sent 1S,200 volts Of

Lineman Is Killed
While On Duty
A Poor Advertisement

A dispatch published in the daily
and weekly paper. of Colorado last
week. under an ordway date line and
the head Electricity to ordwsy,"
had the following to say: The people
of Ordway are celebrating the advent
of electricity in their city, the first
'jnice" having been turned on by
the Arkansas Valley Light aud Power
company June II. Al the present
time they are supplying ordwsy with
20 kilowstts, but the demand for cleo
tricity will increase rapidly. The SER
vice is proving most satisfactory and
the people are more than satisfied
with the arrangement which makes
electricity possible in the town.
To the enterprisipg newspaper cofre-
Lpondent who sent out the above infor-
nation we suggest mote consideration
for civic pride in the wording of his
dispatches. As matter Of fact Ord
way people have been using electric
ity for something like nine years gen.
tsted by steam right here at home,
in addition to having generated suffi-
cient current to supply the town of
Sugar City, and the local company has
made arrangements With the Pueblo
company for perhaps the same reason
that other towns Of the valley have
made their arrangements; that Is, for
more extensive and twenty -four ser.
vice-a service the company did not
feel itself 10 position to give under
the old scheme.
What the people of Ordway are re-
joiciug over and what should have
been said in the above dispatch, 10
tnat We have the twenty -four hour ser.
vice and electricity 10 sufficient guam l.
tities, to justify any development
that local conditions may warrant.

from the drop of the hat. schlunneg- :

there being only one small evidence
of blowup. One man for Ordway
succeeded 10 getting as far as third
base, but for the rest Of the game
home plate was about four miles away.
A punching of hits at a critical time
was responsible for Sugar City's lone

In the seventh inning it looked for
. time as though the local crowd,
sufficiently laden with gas, was about
to go up, but SchlunneRger succeeded
In pulling himself out Of bad hole.

was hit to Shortstop McCleaty. HeI-
man on second was forced to third
and in making the run he and the ball
reached the same point on the base
line at the same time. There was
notbing for him to do but try to
lump over it, and from the gran dstand
L it looked as though he had succeeded.
Umpire Gallsvsn thought differently,
however, and so ruled, thus starting
an argument which resulted in the um :

might tie the score, but each time the
batter failed to produce-and ev cry

bunch that Ordway will attempt to
convert into mop for mopping pur-

will attempt the largest celebration in
tbs natrue of band festival. The
bands Of i've different towns will be
there, so report has it, and the five or
CARNATIONS will be combined into cne
vast whole in the rendition of nation
al and other patriotic airs. 1t 10 said
that this combined band will agg regate
seventy five pieces, which will make .
fair sized band. Attractions Of vasi-
GUS character are promisc visitors
aud good time is assured all.
Olney Springs, our neiehbor on the

most ambitious celebration. At this
arc promised the usual circus stunts,
With tug Of war between two crack

Ordway, in anticipation Of . bust

of almost 200 critics, reviewers, design
ers. manufacturers, and delineators here

be obliterated. In dress suits and in
many Of the chic street suits the waist
line Is to be high.
The waist line Of jackets viii be

to button high and be longer. The Rus
sian blouse is to return, and cut-aways
are given first favor.
Suits will be made of two kinds OF
material, jackets and skirts to contrast
in color Best suits will have skirts
slightly draped. Skirts are to be even
narrower at the bottoms many or them
slashed over the left instep to height
Of a foot or more, and all will be mucn
wider at the hips than at the hem.
