Spite of Weather

eral days the past week in the Ar
kansas valley and met many of the
people and saw much of the farming
section. He departed with a bigger
and better idea of our valley and its
great agricultural possibilities. He
expressed himself to the Register as
particularly impressed that this is the
greatest dairy section of the world and
said it gave him great pleasure to
know that when trimming appropria-
tons to meet revenues he had allow
ed Senator Hasty's bill appropriating
$4,000 to assist in promoting the
dairy industry to stand. 1t was about
the only increased appropriation that
he did not cut back to smaller pro-
portions than the previous term, and
now as he looks over the situation and
knows that Colorado is importing
$4,000 900 of dairy products each year
and Prowers and Bent counties alone
can produce it all, it gives him great
pleasure to know that he listened to
the Senator's convincing eloquence
and spared the knife on that one ap-
preparation.
The governor passed through La
mar on last Friday afternoon on No
r. He was Joined by a delegation Of
Lamar citizens who accompanied him
on his trip through the county. The
train made a short stop at Granada
where the governor spoke to a num-
Der Of the citizens who had gathered
At Holly he was the guest of the
Commercial Club and made an ad-
dress to large crowd, after which
there was a reception at the club
rooms.
During Saturday Gov. Carlson was
the guest of Manager Partridge of the
A. V. S. B. & |. L. Co., who took him
over the territory of that company,
making stops at Hartman and Bristol
TO meet the people Of those towns and
then on to Queen Beach where boun-
tiful dinner was served at the COM
pany's station. In the afternoon the
trip around the lakes was made and
into Wiley at 4 o'clock. This vast
body of water stored for safety in
irrigation supply was one of the big
surprises for the governor as he had
not expected anything near so vast.
A large crowd met him at Wiley and
he made a fine address to them. He
reached Senator Hasty's home at $3.50
in the evening and was entertained
there during his stay in Lamar until
Monday morning. He addressed a
big crowd on the streets of our city
in the evening and was given re-
ception at the Commercial Club rooms
afterwards.
In all his speeches throughout the
four days in Prowers and Bent coun-
ties Governor Carlson avoided any
thing even approaching politics, but
touched strongly on the subjects of
good citizenship, obedience to law, and
the development of our resources. He
made a splendid impression on all who
heard him and met him, as he is not
in the least swelled, but easily APP
preached and an agreeable companion
in a crowd, and has very healthy

at ease. He will grow with the peo-
pie as they get acquainted with him,
as all on this trip realized.
On Sunday in Lamar he delivered a
short address to the children and
others at the Baptist church in the
morning and in the evening spoke to
a large gathering at a union service
at the high school auditorium.
On Monday several auto loads OF
Lamarites accompanied the governor
on his journey over the Fort Lyon
system. He was the guest of the
company on this trip and was in
charge Of President Novels and other
officers of the company. A represen-
tatiye of the Register made the trip

Stream, and altogether there were
four auto loads of Lamarites Joined
