GREAT INTEREST IN COMING
GOOD ROADS MEETING

Probably no good road meeting
in recent years promises to attract
as much interest throughout the en-
tire state as does the coming con-
vention of the Colorado Good Roads
association, which will be held in
Denver on January 10 and 20. Spe-
cial low rates have been made on
all railroads for that week, and as
the county commissioners of Colo
rado will also gather here at the
same time, large attendance is ex-
pected.
In addition to the Colorado Good
Roads association meeting, annual
meetings will be held by other road
organizations of the state, included
in which are the Colorado division
of the Pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean
Highway, of which j. K Rouse of
Burlington, Colo, is president, and
the Spanish Trail association, of
which J. H. Jenkins of Pueblo is
president. This last named associ-
alton is working to secure good
highway through southwestern Colo
rado, which will connect with the
roads to southern Colorado.
The principal topic for discussion
at the convention of the Colorado
Good Roads association will be the
construction and maintenance of
roads. This year will see the ex.
penditure of between $2,OOO,OO0
and $3,OOO,OOO on the highways in
Colorado, and the question of how
best to secure the greatest results is
the, efcre of much Importance.
The speakers will include mary
of the most Prominent men in the
state, and it is expected that the
program may be announced some
time during the next week The
sessions of the convention will be
held in the convention hall of the
Albany hotel. beginning at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, January 10.

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOR
MONTE VISTA ISPR0POSED

One of the most important prof.
ects ever contemplated in this com
munity is the erection of county
high school building, which has been
undertaken by the High Order of
Grunts. The overcrowded condition
of the present school buildings in
Monte Vista and the great benefits
to be derived from county high
school should make the movement
most popular one and enlist the
support of all residents of this coun-
ty who desire better educational ia
cilities
The Fl. o. G. organization is to be
commended for initiating projects
for the public welfare and the eff
cient manner in which the Short
Course was carried out by the club
indicates that they have the force
and determination to successfully
complete whatever they undertake
A committee consisting of G. E.
Hart, S. s. Heilman and j. T. Tyner
was named by the club at their meet
ing Thursday night to secure the
necessary data before the association
may perfect its plans for the erec-
tion of county high school build

AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK

John Macarthur, superintendent
and resident agent of the Colorado
Valley Land company reports sew
eral recent land sales, and says he
has had good many inquiries as to
prices on irrigated farms owned by

been good many exchanges of prop
erty.

AGRICULTURE

AS economical proposition agriculture is
ceving attention by Congress and State legis-
latures than ever before. Heretofore banking,
ufacture and foreign commerce have received spe-
cia aid in the way of legslaton the national banks
have used the national credit at nominal rate as
basis of their circulaton manufacture and trade
have been favored by subsidies.
The present Congress is fully alive to the fact
that success in agriculture prosperity for the
people whole. We have good illustration in
the San Luis Valley, where the past year thousands
of of potatoes sold in the market at As
cents per hundred in sacks There was no profit to
the ranchman at such price, but had he received
80 cents the manufacturer and the merchants would
have received generous share of the 80 cents.
genuine rural-credts bill would reduce mort
rates from ten per cent to four per cent less
genuine cooperative system of marketing would
add good profit to the farmer. AS rule, where
there is a profit in any large industry, the whole
country feels the beneficial effects of it.
The East to be in favor of "prepared-
ness on large scale. The West and South favor
moderation. 1t is more than probable that within
year the world will welcome universal peace in
preference to war.

received 10000 votes and, again, candidate
in 1913, received 10000 votes defeating the Re-

'There two men, and two only, who have
ghost of chance to defeat President Wilson next
November-Justice Hughes and Colonel Roosevelt
Either would be acceptable to the great majority

according to word received in Wheeling
last night The position will be filled at

Mr.., Stansbury has been connected

ing that position directly after he had
completed his college course. He is
widely known in eastern sporting circles
and has been influential in placing Wes-

His loss to Wesleyan would be badly
felt. and his addition to the University
would Be boon for the athletics Of that
