On last Friday evening over two
hundred Masons and ladies gather
ed at the hall in the Masonic tenn
Pile for the annual celebration of
this great day in masonry. The or
der has been growing SO rapidly
that it was necessary to secure
the rooms in the Markham build
ing adjoining to accommodate the
guests on this occasion. The ban
quet was served on the ground
floor and the rooms on the second
floor were used for cloak rooms
The crowd was a merry one and
most delightful evening. A short
program had been arranged by the
committee. including n very instruc-
tive and much appreciated speech
on Masonry by Judge Goodale. a
most entertaining recitation by
Miss Gladys Jones and a number
of pleasing selections by the Or
chestra and special chorus which
volunteered for the occasion.
The guests and members then
repaired to the hall where the long
tables were loaded down with good
things to eat and all tried to prove
to the committee that their efforts
were fully appreciated. After the
refreshments were disposed of all
returned to the hall. and the or
chestra rendered fine music for
several hours while many of those
present Joined in playing games and
general social intercourse until a
late hour. 1t was a fitting wind
up for big year in the order.

VIII deal as graaiOusly with us.
The year 1912 during his weeks OF
youth was very severe but grew
into peaceful old age. and his
closing weeks have been all that
one could hope for in mildness and
cheer. That 1913 will leave no
cause for regret with our readers
is the wish OF the Register.
The year 1912 in its early
months was SO severe that great
injury was done TO a large number
oil our stockmen and thousands oil
head OF sheep were killed in the
grazing sections OF the valley, but
afterwards he brought such great
changes in both conditions and
prices that many have already re-
covered their losses. On the farms
bountiful crops have been the rule
except where the great hail storm
struck and in much of that territory
fair crops have been harvested.
Prices have been good and the
farmers are all feeling much bet
ter than they did during the early
months of the year.
The sugar been industry which
had been on the decline here for
several seasons again took its prop
err place in the front ranks of our
Industries and Ia on a more solid
condition of popularity than ever
before. The big campaign just
closed has been one of the leading
causes in promoting prosperity in
the county among all classes. farm
ers. wOrkmen. businessmen and all
others. The prices have been the
best ever paid for beets and they
were paid for the best beets ever
raised even in Colorado. The high
est average price paid by any of
the beet sugar manufacturing com
panies of the country. according to
the statistics. has been paid by
the American Beet Sugar Co., with
the Holly Sugar Co. a close second.
This speaks well both for the work
of our farmers and the fairness of
our factory managers.
The business men of Lamar have
also reason to be satisfied with the
year 1912. for after a very slow
start in almost all lines It has ex-
banded gradually until the finish
in the biggest holiday trade in the
history of the city. All the mer-
chants report bigger sales than in
any previous year. and the reports
of the financial institutions re-
fleet the same satisfactory condi-
ton.
