JOSEPH NEWMAN COMPANY
ENTERTAIN AT THE EMPIRE

Joseph Newman was never better
than on Thursday night, when with a
splendid supporting company, he APP
peared in three-part entertainment
at the Empire.
The first two parts Of the program
consisted of musical numbers new,
bright and highly delightful. In his
songs, Joe never disappoints; and es-
pecially enjoyed was the vocal duet
by Misses Nelson and ellis with
violin obligato. The reader Miss
Sprigg, was heartily received and
Miss Hoover with the violin was most
charming.
In the third part. the sketch.
Strictly Neutral was well pre-
scented by the entire company. Here
in the feat of making love to four
separate and distinct maidens at the
same time, Was portrayed with the
usual streak of luck attending such
attempts. The audience held their
sides while Joseph sought to olsen
tangle himself from the intrcacies
of his delicate situations.

Joseph T. Dove, aged 70, was
found dead in his bed at his camp on
Mt. Blanca last Sunday morning. He
had been living on his mining pro-
perty there, and altho he had been
in poor health for the past six
months his condition was not thought
serious. Mr.. Dove was last seen
alive on Thursday, and it is thought
that he died Thursday night upon re-
firing as the body indicated that he

INV PROBLEM FOR FARMERS
h MARKETING HUGE YIELDS.
|yorabIe Freight Rates Should Aid in Developing New
Territory For Sale Of Valley Grown Potatoes

and nearly the entire supply of this
crop is furnished by growers from
agricultural districts of other states.
The San Luis Valley is favored with
a lower freight rate to the principal
markets of that state over any other
potato growing district, and we
should have the potato business of
New Mexico. This enormous market
for our potatoes added to the market
which our local dealers now have
would make it possible to move the
twelve hundred cars of potatoes dur
ing September and October at pro
fitable prices to our growers.
In addition to the circular adver-
Using making {. strong appeal for the
potato business, a competent sales
man should be sent to New Mexico at
once, and by personal solicitation Sc
cure orders for this product which
will soon be ready for market.
Creating new markets for pro-
duct of this kind is not as easy a
matter as one might think; for other
localities are better known and bet
ter advertised, but with a united and
persistent effort the desired results
can be obtained, and with profitable
potato market, the people Of the San
Luis Valley will be many thousand
dollars ahead.

BUSINESS IS GOOD"
With GAME WARDEN

The arrival in this section of the
State of game warden who is living
up to his idea of what a game warden
is hired for, has been fruitful of a
studious turn of mind among the
Knights of the Rod and Gun.
Game laws have been known to
exist-upon the statute books
where they have remained undis-
turbed amid the mouldy tones where
daylight never, or seldom enters.
And so it remained for one O'Rear to
enter the local field upon behalf of
the States game, and incidentally to
make plain the purpose of legislation
enacted for it's protection.
Warden O'Rear drifted down from
Creole Tuesday night where he had
done "land-office business" in trim
ming the natives and collecting fines
for all manner of breaches of game
law, and was on the job bright and
early Wednesday morning, at the
opening of the duck season, and met

morning, before the buckets have
had their morning bath and straight
ened out their feathers, and, more
over, there is law designed to bear
the warden out in this notion.
Warden O'Rear returned to Den
yer Thursday night, and no cases
have been docketed against local Of
tenders, and no action is contem-
plated until his return next week.
His visit to Monte Vista was brought
about by the solicitation of citizens
who felt that action should be taken
to prevent numberless fragrant yio-
lations of the game laws.

CATTLE RUSTLERS ARE
NABBED BY OWNERS

For about two years cattlemen of
the southern and eastern part of the
Valley have been annoyed by losses
of cattle by theft. and DESPITE the
united efforts of these .attlemen. the
depredations have continued.
Thursday night, one of a gang of
cattle "rustlers' so the story goes got
cold feet" when 1t came to the dis
position of a mixed bunch, and let
the fact leak that sale was about to
be consumated.
George and John Doris. who have
been among the heaviest losers OF
cattle, were advised of the situation
and made the capture of two of the
parties implicated in the alleged
theft.
One of the men caught is Oscar
Swartz. who was bound over to the
District court in $500 bond and the
other. young man by the ame of
Taylor, was lodged in the bastile at
Alamosa
1t is believed that the existence
OF an organized band will be deyel-
oped through the arrest Of those
parties and that others implicated
will be apprehended.

Preparations for the Base Ball
and Z are practically completed, and
with favorable weather conditions
there ought to be large crowds in
Monte on those two days. The Asso-
citation has not only provided amuse-
ment for the crowds during the day,
but they have made arrangements for
a ball to be held both evenings at
Woodmen Hall to which every one is
invited. There will be committee
appointed to look after the social en-
tertainment of visitors on both even
ings.
A feature OF the Tournament will
be the. races between automobiles
from Saguache, Center. Del Norte,
and Alamosa Monday morning. There
will be prizes of fifteen dollars given
to the cars reaching here first from
Center, Del Norte and Alamosa; and
in addition to the first prize of fifteen
dollars, prize of five dollars each
will be given to all cars from the
above mentioned towns that reach
here under schedule time. There
will be prize of twenty-five dollars
given to the car reaching here first
from Saguache, and an additional
five dollars to each car reaching here
under schedule time The conditions
of the race are. that there must be at
least five cars to enter from each

ished his high school education, but
continued ever a most devoted stu
dent and reader.
He engaged in mining, later be-
coming known as an authority on
matters pertaining to that industry.
In 1887, he was married to Miss
Clara Knoblock, at Leadville, and
with his bride went to the mining
camp of Jasper, where he spent
number of years. To this union two
children were born. Horace E., and
Erma, now Mrs. w. A. Keyt. of Ala
media, California.
Mr. Moody was elected member
of the State Senate in 1894 and was
appointed to a place on many i'm
portant committees in both sessions
which he attended.
He became, through his own eff
forts and study, master of an individ-
ual style of writing and speaking.
AS an eXtemporaneous speaker and
debater, he drew on large fund of
accurate information, and was fear
less on these grounds.
Possibly mis- most notable forensic
effort was that occasioned in the sem
ate during the attempt to remove
from this city, the Colorado Soldiers
and Sailors Home. On that memoir
able occasion, a vast amount of SEN
timent had been created against this
location, and in the closing hours of
the session of the legislature it was
sought to pass a bill which would
eliminate in our loss of this institu-
ton.
Undaunted by the almost unani-
nous array against him, the senator
gained the floor in the early evening
hours, and with the plan in his mind
of talking the entire night through,
if necessary, allowed but temporary
Interruptions, upon the promise of
the chairman that as soon as the
business of the moment was disposed
of, that he was to be given audience
again. and his right to the floor was
unquestioned. AS he talked, the
General Assembly went out of exist
ence, and with it the bill for removal.
In this gallant fight, knowledge of
parliamentary practice, grit, and the
conviction that he was right, won.
Cherishing the miners dream of
uncovering natures hidden wealth,
he continued until the end, in the
hope of interesting capital in the de-
velopment of his mineral holdings in
the vicinity of Jasper.
In the face of physical breakdown.
he pursued his efforts until he could
work no more, and passed out in
Denver, Friday afternoon, August
81, at 4 o'clock, in the presence of
his wife and a few near friends.
The body was brought to Monte
Vista Sunday and funeral services
were held at the Presbyterian church
at 2 O'Clock that afternoon, con-

least one passenger. 1t has not yet
been settled definitely as to what
hour the cars will leave the respec-
tive towns but it will probably be
between the hours of 8 and 10, and
they will arrive in Monte all the way

by the Wallace State Bank. This is
something that has never been tried
here before. but has met with great
success in other towns on similar oc-
casions. Not only does 1t afford
amusement for the crowds but 1t
tends to increase the number of visit
ors and most every man who owns a
car thinks he stands a show of win

who did not contemplate coming in

The street races as advertised in last
weeks papers will not be held on ac-
count of this new feature.
There will be special train run
from Center leaving at 1890 and ar
irving here in time for the first ball
game. A large crowd is expected to
turn out from Center to help make
a success of this entertainment in re-
turn for the large attendance from
Monte at their celebration on July

Center on Tuesday evening to attend
the dance.
Workmen are busy putting the
grounds in shape for the games and
they are now in better condition
than ever before.
The first ball game, on Monday
afternoon, will be between Del Norte
and Alamosa, and promises to be
good game as both teams have been
strengthened since tney last played,
The games will be called at o'clock
sharp. and all who do not wish to
miss any of the innings should be
there promptly, as there will be no
delay or waiting for a crowd.

Will be between Saguache and Monte

ture of the Tournament Saguache
has good strong team and has won
twenty out of twenty-one games this
season. However. the Monte BOYS
are not slow at ball playing, and do
not intend to let Saguache walk
away with the twenty-hrst game to
their credit.
Tickets for all the games will be
on sale at Monroe & Nelson's news
stand. Only 35 cents will be charged
to see both games and record crowd
is expected.

As the productiveness of our agri-
,ural lands increases, many new
oblems are presenteS to the resi-
rts of the San Luis Valley, and of
these matters which must be
lived. there is proba bly, none of

hing of good markets for our crops.
II matters not how productive our
nd NAV be unless there is market

elds of wheat, oats, barley, peas,
fslfa and potatoes astonish The
stern farmers, and the splendid
alties of all these products is
ore fully realized when our dis
laws are in competition with the ex-
bits of all other agricultural dis
lets at the National shows.
That the good land in the San Luis
blley is as productive as the land in
lie older agricultural districts of the
becky Mountain region, no person
ill deny, but as our yields of agri-
lltural products increase, there
ust also be increased demand for
Iem, and if we continue to create
Bditional markets and have buyers
|r the crops when produced, our
rms will always pay satisfactory
|vidends to the owners and will con-
hue to advance in price.
During the months of September

THE FARMER'S PROBLEM.

The farmers of the country are up
against tough proposition in having
TO decide about their crops for this
year. AS Is usual the price of cotton
has gone up, and is going up at this
time. and the farmer will be tempted
to plant more OF the staple than he
formerly plaa,ed. Then the matter
of credit and supplies comes In. The
business men and the bankers over
the State are not ,going to advance SO
much money and supplies this year TO
make the crop. There are thousands
OF farmers over the State who will
have to make their crops on what
they have, and without credit from
the merchants and banks. One result
which will follow will be smaller
yield Of farm products, and less to
market, but the margin of profit will
be larger than formerly.
The Inteliigencer would urge every
farmer to plant as much grain and
food crops as possible, and have his
cotton n surplus crop II possible. Make
home supplies first and cotton after
ward. The price may or may not be
large next fall, bt.t IL the farmer has
N good grain crop, made without debt,
1t matters little to him what cotton
brings.

His children. however, will go to the
neighborhood school and his wife
and himself To the neighborhood
church. He will be q countryman
except I'm office hours. This will
bring about the quicker development
or the countryside and it's improve
ment In every way. Land values will
enhance and farmers will have a bet
ter market for their proddce not only
In the. city but close at home. Viii
lagos will spring UP here and there
and some of those now in existence
will rapidly grow. In the same way,
farmers will be, on account of the
good roads. nearer to the city and,
more and more. will enjoy the ad-
vantages OF a commercial, social re-
creative or educational character
which the city has TO offer. 1t may
be possible for youth whose home
Is fifteen miles from the city to live
at home and take q course in the
University or In business school. In
short. transportation will be cheap
and fifteen miles WIN be reckoned no
more OF a Journey In Richland than 1t
is reckoned I'm Chicago or New York.
To country and city people the ad-
vantages will be mutual and recipro-
cal. @@
These changes one does not expect
to take place in two years or in five
years. but the picture that. we have
drawn Is not fanciful. Easy and
quick transportation will cause dis
tribution and increase of population
throughout the country districts and,
in. time, it will wipe out all distinc-
tfons between rural and city dwellers.
We can think of nothing that offers
brighter hope for the Improvement
and prosperity Of all our people.
