Nov that the Colorado Confer
enee Of the Methodist church has
come and gone. with IL three hun
dred visitors Who .were Immediately
connected with the body. and the
many others who motored here OF
dropped In for . session or two"
says Rev. Howard Goldie. II feel
moved to say to the whole city. you
could not have done better I was
literally besieged BY scores Of minis
ters. who came to me during the
closing hours. 70 express their ap-
probation Of the good time they had
been having. Very many said. and
without hesitation. and they were
among the most intelligent and In
fluential OF the company. that
though they had been attending con-
ference for from twelve TO fifteen
years In this state. the entertainment
furnished in La Junta sxcelled an
others heretofore. They came to
me again and again with the fine
courtesies offered them In the homes,
and repeatedly assertsd their admir-
alton for city Of this size. which
could 20 perfectly care for 20 large
. company with no apparent hard
ship to anyone. They were loud In
their praises Of La Junta's bill Of
fare. both In the homes. restaurants,
and the church. and in the latter
case they were practically unani-
nous In the assertion that no such
dining room and perfected meals
had ever been offered in the history
Of the conference.
Tho interest taken at large was
commented on as well. and few
things La Junta has done In recent
years will tally with the ball game
and melea eeast. given the ministers
- tecssaeloa. for putting La Jun
u on the map - q place In which
good folks live and are careful Of
