For six years those residents of Ocean
Grove, who were dissatisfied with tile
management of that unique city which
has been under the control of a reljg-
ious association since its existence
fought to get the Legislature to pass a
bill to have a borough government. An
exciting election was held last Tuesday
and the Camp Meeting Association
won by 81 majority in a ballot of 573 of
the GA voters registered. The result
greatly surprised the borough advo-
wales. The result Of the election set
ties tie matter in favor OF the associa-
ton for all time, it is believed, as those
who headed the borough movement
Will not renew the fight.

The new Edge act requiring railroad
companies to protest their grade cross
ings by alarm bells, sa fety gates or flag
men, does not apply to all grade cross
ings in the State, but only to those grade
crossings located on highways and streets
that have been improved under the State
Aid Road law. The law, however, does
not interfere with the authority of
the Public Utility Commission in requir-
ing the protection of grade crossings on
the roads mo- covered by it. The new
act is compulsory and the railroads must
comply with it within one year.

BIG SUPPER rs SERVED
ladies Sewing Society Sponsor for
Banquet Of Baked Chicken
Which the Men
Enjoyed.


The Brotherhood OF the Westmin-
ster Presbyterian church enjoyed a
preachers experience meeting Friday
evening at their regular meeting. The
Brotherhood to the number OF about
sixty attended the meeting, and en-
joyed supper which was served by the
Ladies Sewing society.
Four of the local preachers. Rev.
w. M. Baker, Of the First Christian
church. Rev. w. H. Men, Of the Trim
ity M. 3. church, Rev. Frank G..
Beardsley of the First Congregational
church and Rev. H. B. McElree of the
United Presbyterian church, were
the speakers.
Preceding the program OF speeches,
a baked chicken supper IA served.
The menu consisted of:
Fruit Cocktail
Baked Chicken with Oyster Dressing
Peas Potatoes
Celery Pickles
Ice cream and ice Cake
Or. Newcomb Prssldes.
Following the supper, DR.. r. B.
Newcomb acted as toastmaster. He
introduced each one of the speakers
with a clever little talk. Funerals,
revivals, weddings and general topics
were covered by the men who spoke,
and their experiences were sad or
gay as the topic indicated.
The Rev. William NJ. Baker OF the
Christian church related ONE we'd
ding experiences. The most amusing
of these was his story of how he had
been led to expect a generous fee
when the father OF the groom dis
played a big roll Of greenbacks, only
to ind his palm crossed with Ave
smooth dimes.
The Rev. William H. Neil Of the
M. E. church told Of his experiences
at funerals. 1t was a rather sober
subject, but was interesting as it
showed what the pastors frequently
find themselves confronted with.
The Rev. Frank G. Beardsley of
the First Congregational church re-
moved the sombre air with his stor-
les of REVEALS.
It remained for Rev. H..B. Nc
Elree OF the United Presbyterian
church to pick up the general sub
jects which had not been talked on.
He did this in a most amusing fash
ion, illustrating his points with stor-
les.
The Brotherhood members great
ly enjoyed the session Friday night.
and their appreciation of the men
who spoke was expressed.
The business session Of the Broth
erhood was absorbed mostly in rou-
tine matters.

Failed to Make Good

About one year and half ago The
Eastern Colorado Lumber Co. was
organized and began its operations at
Bristol, Colorado. About one-half Of
the investment was held by local
stockholders and the other half by
either Mr.. Young of Pueblo or The
Iron City Lumber Co., with whom he
is connected. The plan as outlined
and to which the local stockholders
subscribed, was cheap lumber and
building material and for time this
seemed to work very we'll.
Now, however, comes the announce
ment to creditors that The Eastern
Colorado Lumber Company has been
adjudicated bankrupt and a meeting
of the creditors is to be held in Pueb-
10 during the month of August, at
which time it will be determined how
near the assets of the company will
go towards paying off its liabilities
and what if anything will be returned
to the stockholders, who subscribed
to Mr.. Young's scheme.

The uncertainties of baseball were
well shown by last Sundays game at
La Junta. After regaining the lead
in the race by defeating Rocky Ford,
holders of the top position, Lamar's
team wandered up to La Junta and
lost it by being defeated by team
that had lost four straight games
and were entirely out of the race for
first place honors. The heavy Lamar
hitters who have always liked Stars
pitching were at his mercy on Sunday
and thirteen of them famed. Only
four got hits and Hines alone got two
to his credit. Fred Littler also pitched
a good game after he got into it, but
the mistake was made in starting the
game with Golden, a "blowin" phe-
nom, who let in four runs in the first
before he was ditched. Fred famed
ten La Junta batters in the eight in
nings he pitched and allowed but four
runs, but the game was already lost.
At the same time Rocky Ford was
winning a close contest at Las Ami
mas by score of to 2, and this
places the Rocky Ford team again in
first place. Lamar plays La Junta
here again on next Sunday and it is
expected to have the regular team lin
ed up again for the occasion. Our
boys also go to Las Animas on next
Thursday for a postponed game and
this gives them good chance to at
least tie Rocky Ford for first place.
The box scores of the two games
are as follows:

WAR DECLARED
Advices Are That World War Cannot
Now Be Averted

Germany and Austria have declared
war on Russia according to the latest
advices received by wire and It looks
IS If the two triple alliances, Ger
many, Austria and Italy OH one side
and Russia, France and England on
the other, will be at each others
threats before another week is out.
II it comes to that it will be by far
the bloodiest and most destructive ca
tastrophe in the history Of the world.
Our own civil war which has hitherto
held the record will sink into Sum-
day school picnic by comparison.
These six countries have been prepar-
ing for this test ever since the close
Of the Franco German war in the
early 70s, and only the highest fness-
ing Of craftsmanship has prevented it
before this. 1t is to be hoped that
such craftsmanship may yet intervene
to stop the slaughter but the pros
poets seem hopeless.

GOVERNOR KISSED
Democratic State Assembly Heaps
Insults on its Own Governor


The democratic state assembly yes
terday met in Pueblo and the Thorn
as-Patterson-Brake combination was
easily in control at all times. The
name of the democratic governor,
Ammons, was Missed at every mem
ton and the resolution in favor of
law and order was tabled by ire
mendous vote. The politicians of the
Western Federation of Miners at all
times had the assembly in hand and
it did their bidding.
While all the candidates got votes
enough to go on the primary ballot
there will be the names of the famous
political combine at the top of the
column for the main offices. Senator
Thomas has more than a two to one
lead over John A. Martin. Patterson
beat Napier almost as bad, while
Brake leads for secretary of state.
Rhody Kenehan is on the ballot but
is not the leader. He came from be-
hind and won out two years ago and
thinks he will repeat this year. They
were so busy denouncing Ammons
that they forgot even to endorse Pres
ident Wilson.
