Improved School District

For some time f. n. Freeman.
county superintendent of schools, has
been working with the powets that be
in legislative matters in Denver to
secure the abolishment Of certain
joint school districts, a legacy of our
former connection with Otero county.
He has SO far succeeded in securing
abolition OF joint district No. 4,
which was coupled with the Rocky
Ford territory, and the territory has
been annexed to school district No. ~,
or the Ordway district, thus making
it the largest in the county by the sd-
dition of the twenty eight square
miles gained by the change and also
boosted the school valuation Of the
district to the amount of about $3O,-
600. Mr.. Freeman is now working to
bring about similar changes in other
joint districts of the county which
will improve the status of districts
embraced in Sugar City aud Lolita
territory, This is change which
will be welcomed by the patrons OF
our schools, as 1t will greatly sim.
plify the administration of school
matters and seggregate our school sys-
tenn more thoroughly.

Goes to Palisade

Sunday S. Sims Of the Boz Springs
neighbothood' left Ordway with his
wife and six children for Palisade,
where he will take ten acre fruit
tract. MI. Sims recently traded bis
quarter section north Of here for the
Palisade land, giving q handsome
bonus to make the deal. He held .
public sale on the 10th inst. but took
. carload Of belongings with him to
his new home. We regret to lose
these estimable people from Crowley
county, but wish them prosperity in
their new location. Land in the
Grand Junction and Palisade districts
has heretofore sold at high prices.
1000 an acre being no uncommon
figure and running from that up to an
high as $4,000 and even more.

Don't get peeved because We insist
upon all subscriptions being paid in
advance. We have tried the limitless
credit system and also the cash in ad-
vance plan, and the latter is the only
one that is satisfactory to all parties
concerned. The paper houses with
whom We do business insist upon hav-
ing their money at the end Of every
month, or no more paper, and the
printers insist upun having their mon
ey every Saturday night or there'll be
nothing doing in the print line. 1t
10 not because we need the money

Wealth and ModestY

Although Helen Gould, who was
married Wednesday at .TarIytuwn.
N. Y. to Finley J. Shepherd, is one
of the wealthy women of the world,
the cost of her wedding trosseau was
confined to 81, 900 which was also the
cost of the wedding finery of Miss
Madeline Force, now the widow Of
Col. John Jacob Astor, one of the
victims and heroes of the Titanic
disaster. This modest figure for we'd
ding clothes may we'll make some of
the scions Of Goldfish aristocracy sit
up and gasp. Miss Gould was gown
ed in ivory white, with satin and rose
point lace trimmings, with court
train and rose point veil.

Putting One Over

Crowley county does not seem to
have much love for Otero county.
Tbe wounds caused by the amputaion
of Crowley county from Otero county
were nearly healed, but now the ambi
tious people over that way want to
have another operation performed.
They want the legislature now in ses
sion to create a new legislative dis.
trict composed of Crowley and Kiowa
counties. They say that Otero county
is big enough to be entitled to rep
all by herself, while Meth
er Crowley nor Kiowa counties has
the requisite population. Otero coun-
ty hogged both the senator and the
at the last election
one being a progressive and the other
a dsmocIat. Crowley county wants to
be 10 q position to put it over Kiowa
just as Otero does over Crow
ley. La Junts Tribune.

ia Years Old

The other day Finest W. Dowuey
brought q newspaper into the New
Era office, published ut Liberal, Mo-,
where e. ". spent three years. con-
tanning an account of the l14th birth
day of Henry Dorman, who was born
in Steubeu county, New York, jan
uary 10. 1899. Thus this aged man
has lived in three centuries, was born
eleven months and four days before
the death Of George Washington, and
has lived during the administration
of every president Of the United
States save that Of Washington and
has been witness of every important
invention and improvement that
makes modern civilization worth
while. At present Mr.. Dorman is
practically helpless and is cared ior by
a married daughter. This is a wonder
ful span for one frail human life
and is worthy of more extended COM
ment than we have space fer.

Awakening Needed

The entertainment last Friday even
ing by Everett Kemp in the regular
Ordway Lyceum course, while
a fine piece of platform work so far as
the entertainer was concerned, was
most discouraging failure as regard
ed attendance. The receipts at the
door were very light and the hackers
of the course will have to go down in
their pockets to make good q
serious shortage. 1t seems to US
that when limited number Of busi-
ness men take over the risk Of secur-
ing and staging attractions in course
like that offered by the local lyceum
assoc iation there should be enough
interest among our people IN high
class entertainments to make such a
venture a success. No one is trying
or expects to make a cent of profit
out of the course, the only desire be-
ing to be able to put these entertain
ments before the people of Ordway
at cost.
If you believe in such things as
being for the best interests of town,
show your faith by your works and
secure season ticket or come out to
the entertainments as they appear and
do not let it be said that the town OF
Ordway is SO dead and dried in the
shell that it cauuot properly support
q lyceum course.
Speaking Of the slim attendance at
the lecture course in Rocky Ford, the
Tribune says: "Like all other lee
ture courses, this one has been
brought to Rocky Ford and supported
by a very few business men. Those
men have spent their time and money
in boosting for thing that benefits
the community, without any thought
of personal gains"

Real Fish Story

Under date OF January z, Claude

parents in this city of big fish catch
there as follows:
The lineman, q fellow who helps
him and myself went fishing yesterday
and what do you think2 We caught
. quarter Of ton of fish.
"Monday night the water went
down about four feet SO didn't have
power enough fos lights. Well, tho
turbine got filled up with fish, rs tho
pond VAS nearly drained and they
came out to the deep water Of the
channel, which is very swift in the
fume, and we're carried into the
wheels. OF course couldn't turn
them of, SO I phoned to town for the
men to come out and We worked until
B O'Clock iu the afternoon cbopping
and thawing ice SO we could shut the
water gates, stop the wheels and drain
the fume, then We put on rubber
boots and went down 10 the flume
and started taking out fish, which
was NO small job. We took out over
500 pounds. After saving out some
for ourselves We seat to town for
dray to haul the balance to town.

Let There Be Light

We are informed that the Arkansas
Valley Light and Power company will
make application at the next regular
m setting of the county commissioners
for q franchise granting them right to
erect transm ission lines for light and
power over the highways of the coun-
ty. If this ia granted it will put tho
baby county on an equal footing with
some of the Oldest counties in the
state in the matter OF cheap power for
developing its resources.
1t will mean the irrigating Of hun
dreds of acres of land by pumping
and in Ordway open . field for various
industries that are needed for it's de-
veIopment.
We believe that the service will be
far superior to that we are having aod
it will guarantee continuous service,
the advantages Of which were appreci-
ated during the past summer. when
the patrons of the local plant enjoyed
the day current for few short months.
As mentioned in last weeks issue,
the local rates will be reduced to con-
form with those in Otero county.
In conversation with NJ. s. SIaugh-
ter, manager Of the Ordway Electric
Light and Power company, we learned
that several extensions covering the
surrounding country were to be started
as soon as the franchise is granted.
1t is sincerely hoped that our COM
missioners will see the advantages,
and, If the terms asked for by the
company are anything like reasonable,
assist 10 giving this community elec.
trio service that is not a joke.
