Havoc With
Lumber Works

Unless the rain ceases at once
and the weather clears up, ship
pers OF fruit will be handicapped
in their supplies Of crates and box
es wherein the states greatest crop
is shipped 10 market for consump-
ton.
The Continental Tie & Lumber
company Of Cimarron. which com
pany supplies many fruit growers
associations in the west with their
crates and boxes, is finding it diff,
cult to secure seasoned lumber that
can be made up into boxes, and as
it is, practically all available tim
ber has been utilized for such pur.
poses already SO that its supply is
fast being exhausted
Under favorable weather condi.
tions it requires about six weeks
to season lumber so that it can be
utilized for manufacturing purpos-
es, but under present conditions i
requires a much longer time, anC
that is where the trouble comes in
1t will be some time yet before
the lumber camps resume opera
tions, the ground being too wet t.
continue logging.

Disastrous Fire
Wipes Out The
Springer Hotel

Fire destroyed the Springer no.
tel in Springer, Sunday night with
a loss of So, 900, which was par
TALLY covered by insurance. Pew
guests were in the hotel at the time
the fire was discovered and they es-
capped. The FIRE was discovered at
1890 o'clock and within a short
time the entire structure was a
mass of burning embers. beyond
the point where it could be saved ,
Business houses alongside the ho-
tel we're scorched a little and no
further damage was done.
The wind did not blow at the
time OF the FIRE which saved
a large section OF the business dis
trict from going down in the ruins
The origin OF the fire could not be
ascertained.

In
The Teaching
Force Here

There is much regret in this city
over the sudden change made in
the teaching force of the local
school since it has been learned
that Superintendent Bonney is to
leave and accept a similar position
in the public schools at Hagerman
this state. The school board at re-
cent meeting accepted the resigna-
ton and although much regret was
felt no inducements we're offered in
the way Of increased salary to re-
tain Prof. Bonney, which is la
mentable, as this is the prime fact
or Of his leaving the local school.
A school is the most valuable
adjunct any town possesses, and il
is one thing to have good teachers
and quite another TO be appreciat-
ed, where the former prevails and
the latter is lacking, it is doubtful
whether any institution can be
made progressive. Hagerman is
no larger than Cimarron and there
can be no plausible reason why 4
can afford to pay its teachers more
than this district.

Attempt To
Have Freight
Rate Lowered

Interest is being aroused among
local citizens having as its goal the
reduction Of freight rates on coal
from the numerous coal camps in
the county to Cimarron over the
rates that are now being charged,
and within the near future erthe sub
ject will be taken up with the state
corporation commission.
Itis given out that the same coal
that sells for S. per ton in Cimar-
ron is retailed in Colorado Springs
at from $3.50 to $500 per ton, the
haul to the Colorado point being
greater by more than 400 miles
than the haul to Cimarron.
The coal consuming public has
no i'll feeling against the transpor-
tation company but desires only ar
equalization aud adjustment Of the
rates on coal to this section OF tbs
county, to conform with the rate t.
points in the north.

High Water
Does Much
Damage

Practically every bridge at Ver-
mejo Park was washed out last
week blythe floods that visited that
section, is the report received in
Cimarron. The Adams store suf-
fered loss of several thousand
dollars, the food waters filling up
the basement and running merchRn-
disc to that extent. The spacious
home OF Mr.. Adams was greatly
damaged and the beautiful lawn
is totally ruined. Many buildings
we're damaged by water, which
reached a higher stage than has
been known in the history Of that
section.
The loss to the Bartlett Ranch
is in the neighborhood of sac, ,ooc
and is the heaviest reported in the
county this year.

Boy Crushed To
Death Beneath
Huge Boulder

The 7-year-old son OF Nicholas
Simmons of Halls Peak was acci-
dentally crushed to death by a
heavy boulder that rolled on him
while he was on the ranch OF Chris
tian Otto of Union cohnty. His
older brother who tried to save the
young lad was also caught under
the boulder and was seriously in
jured. The father Of the boys had
resigned as foreman of the Otto
sheer ranch and Mrs. Simmons
and the two boys drove overland
to meet him and to take him home
to Halls Peak. About 400 yards
from the ranch house the small boy
climbed over a large boulder oI
lava which commenced to rol
down the steep hill crushing the
boy under it.
