the bulls yet the worst Of it. The
people who run the show get the
money, the matadors. toread"rs, plea.
dors. and deckhands- get paid. the
audience gets arun for Its money and
the soldiers get the beef to eat, but
all the poor bulls get is. the conscious.
ness. that they die for their country.

New County

Crowley county now has baby
sister, the present legislature having
created the county Of AlamOsa from
portions of ConejOs and Costilla coun-
Ties, with the town OF AlamOsa as the
county-seat. This new political unit
Is In the San Luis valley, In the ex.
treme south central part OF the state,
aud is composed OF very rich farming
land. The Rio Grande river enters
almost at It's extreme northwestern
corner and passes out about the mid.
die Of the southern boundary. The
town OF Alamosa Is situated near the
center Of the county on the Rio
Grande river and the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, where the Durango
line branches of. and just few miles
south. OF La Veta pass. The only
other town 10 the new county Of any
Importance Is Sierra Blanca.

More Room Needed

That Ordway isgrowing rapidly is
evidenced by the manner In which
new business. rooms are snapped up,
often before the buildings In which
they are located are finished or even
started. The new Woodbridge build
ing on Denver boulevard is, now en-.
tirely rented and the Fred Cook
building adjoining nearly so. In the
former @. @. Woodbridge, the owner,
will occupy suite J. as. law office.
DR.. Rodenhauser of Galatea will
occupy suite 2with his. dental office.
The Chamber of Commerce has Sc
cured the remainder of the upper
floor as, Its permanent headquarters.
The commercial body will have a
cozy home, comprising large assembly
hall, a. reading room, billiard room,
kitchen, china closet and an alcOve.
The lower floor of the Woodbridge
building Is, rented entire by Ernest
W. D6wney and is. occupied by his
Variety store.
In the Fred Cook building, Mr..
Cook and his family will occupy the
front four rooms and the remainder
will be devoted to rooning house
purposes. While the lower floor has
not as yet been definitely rented,
there is no doubt that IT. will not re.
main vacant long.
What Ord way needs more than any
thing else. as we have so frequently
number OF modern cottages contain.
Ing three, four and five rooms, with
bath and fully modern In all respects.
These would go like hot cakes on a
frosty morning or the traditional
watermelon at 4 colored picnic. Now
don't all get busy at once.

Future of "Cants"

In conversation with Elmer HOsler
the other day he expressed. the con-
viction that within a few years tine
commission firms would be raising for
themselves all the cantal0upes that
they care TO handle. H. stated that
several firms are already making a
start In that direction and that one
man over In the Rocky Ford! district
had quite an extensive acreage and
would this season engage In the bust
ness more extensively than he has In
the past
Mr.. HOsler also said that In the
district south Of the river the canLa-
loupe growers prepare their land
for planting by disCing ahead Of the
plow, thus lOosening up the soil and
reducing IL to a fine mulch, which Is
turned under by the plow, thus giving
the budding seed a better chance to
fnrce their roots down into the soil.
He thinks SO highly Of this system
that he intends to try IT out this
season on Il thirteen acre tract. ..
1t is doubtless fact that II the
com ission men can pay the growers
an advance of 30 cents crate and
still make money they can do still
better by raising their own melons.
1t Is asserted that each. year the
growers demand a still larger advance
and the commission men say that the
margin Of profit under the present
arrangement is growing smaller and
hand, declare that they are making
but a small profit with the present
prices, owing to the increasing cost OF
labor aud the higher cost Of living.

IN the Hawaiian Islands with the title
Of consul-general, will leave for. To

panied by Mrs Eitaki and their child
ren. Mr.. Eitaki has been in the

the capital will mean promotion to

minister. During his stay in Homo
lulu he has made many friends, both
among ilis own people and among
those of other nationalit:es and, as he
is a keen business man and well
versed in the English language, his
departure will be keenly felt locally.
The consul was busily engaged
throughout this morning in settling
the affairs of the local office prior to
his departure and, in a short inter

Three gigantic skeletons, unearthed

have aroused intense interest among
those who have heard OF the unusual

skeletons confirm stories in, Hawaiian
