CHRISTMAS TRADE

All the merchants report that
they had a very large trade during
the Christmas buying. Most of
them found it difficult to handle
the immense trade although they
had prepared for it by employ ing
more help.
A good Indication Of the growth
of a town is the amount of money
taken in at the post office for the
sale Of stamps. The postmaster
informs us that the revenue re.
ceived for stamps, from Dec. list
up to the beginning of this week,
was $6O9.67. When you consider
that all these stamps were sold
generally in small amounts and a
great many of them pasted on par
GELS, it will give you some idea Of
the work the postmaster and his
assistants had to perform. They
showed themselves fully capable of
taking care Of business. The sale
of stamps for the full month Of
December 1912 was $4SS.O5. This
year shows an increase of nearly
25%.

This condition of affairs has ac-
tually taken place in many places
in Montana among which is the lit
tie town of White Sulphur Springs
Once a populous and thriving burg,
frequented by wealthy cattlemen
and sheepmcn, and the home of
much wealth and refinement, ii
has now become an out-of- the way
place off the main line of transpor-
tation with tri,weekly train ser
vice. There are, no doubt, MANY
sentimental reasons why some OF
its old time residents want to see
It remain on the map, but one les.
son we have learned i'm this life is
that progress and evolution are no
respecters of sentiment. The cold,
pitiless logic of business has never
found use for the word sentiment y
White Sulphur Springs should
realize that her usefulness in the
evolution of this county is over as
long as she is located i'm such an
out-of- the-Way corner, as is now the
case. Her kicking against the
pricks will not avail The people
who are her best friends today see
the handwriting on the wall, the
fat that has gone forth in the
hearts and minds of the people
that the price they will have to
pay for their sentiments too great
for the pockets of the taxpayers.
Old things must pass away.
The law of evolution is immutable
and Interchangeable. Until White
Sulphur can find way to place
itself on main highway of com
munication, it cannot expect to
hold the many advantages that
accrue to county seat town.

are strong in their assertions OF his
Innocence OF the charges placed
against him in chaffee county. They
say that they are but matter OF spite

Of his duty as district attorney.
Men who know Mr.. Walker and

and integrity and since becoming
District Attorney he has been con-
scientious and energetic In seeing
that the law is observed to the let

people CT the Oil City are having
quite time to get coal. One of
the dealers stated that at present
he had in orders for fifteen tons and
Il looked as II il would be n week or
more before he could fii the orders.
In Canon City the conditions are
somewhat the same but some coal is
bsing delivered today. The Power
plant has not a large supply on hand
but has coal on the track at the sur.
rounding mining towns but is unable
to get II delivered.

RAIN InTERfERED
WITH CONVENTION

The almost constant rainfall dur
ing the asst thirty-six hours had the
effect of minimizing the attendance
OF the pubic at the open sessions Of
Pueblo Presbytery. the. Presbyterial
woman"s Missionary society and OF
the annual deanery meeting at
Christ Episcopal church: all OF
which have been in session here the
all possess a large general interest
TO the community and the proceed
ings would have attracted the pres
ence Of many church people under
more favorable conditions of wealth
er.
Arrangements had been made to
give delegates and visitors to these
gatherings complimentary auto
ride over the Skyline drive and
through the orchard districts; take
them through the state penitentiary
and provide other formy Of enter
tainment for their delectation, all of
which had to be abandoned by reason
of the storm. In spite OF the disap-
pointment resulting from the rain
we feel that the visitors and dele
gates TO these bodies have found In
their religious deliberations that
their Going to Canon City was vel
worth while.
