Wait for me In Labrador.
There I'll build my dainty nest;
There I'll fix my court and rest:
There from dawn till dark I'll sing:
Happy kingdom. Lucky king"
Back again. my little king
Is your happy kingdom lost

Christmas wakes the winter rose.

Yellow jasmine through the woods
Runs in March like golden foods.
Where the cypress vivid green,
And the dark magnoila's sheen.
Weave a shelter round my home.
There the snowstorms never come;
There I hold my winter court.
Full OF merriment and sport:

Ordway and Sugar City are to have
new depots and while it Will be sew

brought about the following telegram
to Vim. BrOadbenr or this city from
Francis King Carey, president Of the
National Sugar Manufacturing 90.
reveals the good news:
Efingham, ILL.,, 1O-1O-16.
William Broadbent,
Ordway, Colorado: Robertson,
chief operating officer, and MUIR
ply, general manager, Of the
Missouri Pacific Railway Co.,
both promised me today at st.
Louis that an appropriation for
new passenger stations at Sugar
City and Ordway would be in
cluded in the 1917 budget. Con-
gratulations. Wishing you sue
cess, ETC., etc.
Francis King Carey.
1t is most gratifying to be able to
get such news, and Mr.. Carey is to
be congratulated also on his success
in this matter, and great credit is due
him for this.
More than three years ago when
Mr.. Carey set out co secure better
depot facilities for Sugar City he
promised Mr.. Broadbent that every
effort would be made to get a depot
for Ordway also. Mr.. Broadbent was
interested in these better depot IA
cilities, and being in close touch with
Mr.. Carey realized the influence he
had with the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way Co., as president of the National
Sugar Manufacturing Co., the second
largest taxpayer in the county. Mr..
Carey's company pays over $4,000
yearly in taxes and is intensely inter-
ested in securing better railway IA
cilities at each of the towns in the
county. In fact Mr.. Carey is as di-
rectly interested in the middle and
west portions as he IS in the Sugar
City portion of the county where his
factory is located, and he has worked
increasingly for the past three years
on this depot question. His telegram
will be welcomed by everyone be-
cause it is the beginning of some good
work the Missouri Pacific will do
along its line in this county.
