Harvest Keeps GOING

The harvest of the first crop Of
alfalfa is being closed up this week
and already few arc beginning TO
cut their wheat crop. BY the last of
next week the harvesting of the big
wheat crop will be in full swing all
over the country. A trip through the
vast irrigated area on the north side
reveals sight of wealth in grain
that would make a man unused to
raising crops by irrigatio: believe he
was dreaming and make his punch
himself to sec IL ne was awake or
wandering in fairyland. Most all of
these crops have been injured some
by the big hail storm that covered al
most the entire territory, but in most
cases where the loss was only TWEEN
ty-five per cent or less the grain is so
heavy that the damage is not notice
able at little distance. But for the
hail il would have been the county's
record wheat crop, and even as it is
IT will be one of the big ones. By the
time the wheat crop is up the har-
vest Of the second crop Of alfalfa will
also be well under way. and with
the other crops to follow it will be a
continuous story for the balance of
the summer.

New Company

Since Company C left Lamar the
work Of organizing a second company
has been started under the auspices
of the Y. NJ. b. A. The new company
will have no official standing at pres
ent and the enlistment will only be
for drilling and practicing so that
in case the situation would become
such that more men would be needed
by the country the call to arms would
find the nucleus of second company
here with some knowledge of the
service. An ex-army officer will be
drill master and all matters con-
nected with the management of the
company will be conducted in regula-
ton military style. The enthusiasm
is proved by the fact that the en-
lisements already are greater than the
number enlisted from Lamar in Com
pany C before it was ordered out. X.
l.. Christy, VIM. Corson, and Grover
Carrico, all officers of the Yambas
are taking the enlistments and all
persons interested should see them
No one will be taken unless there is
reason to believe that in case of ne
cessity he will respond to the call of
his country. The movement should
have the endorsement Of all good cit
liens and is another evidence of the
hustling spirit and good citizenship of
this live organization.

Willie, the little two-year old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Thoman of
Wiley and grandson of Judge and
Mrs. C. B. Thoman cd Lamar, was
drowned in an irrigation ditch near
the home this morning. He had
been playing about the place and
after a short time was missed. When
a search failed to discover any trace
of him the alarm was given and the
whole neighborhood was soon search
ing for the little fellow. Relatives went
out at once from Lamar but before
they could reach the home the little
body had been found lodged on the
ditch bank just beyond the bridge
that crosses the road near the home.
1t is believed that he wandered to
the edge of the ditch and attracted
by the noise of the water leaned over
to get a good view and fell in. He
had been missed several hours when
the body was found. The Borrowing
parents and relatives have the deep
est sympathy Of many friends in their
great loss.

to take a hand in the case, under the

The other woman, Pearl Grant, has
two children and had remarked that
she was divorced.

COMPANY c LEAVES FOR CAMP
Recruited Until They Have Eighty
Men Who Pass the Medical
Examination

able to reach war footing without
going to the cities to recruit as did
the other companies from valley towns
but after the medical examiner finish
ed his inspection on last Sunday there
were eighty all told left although sew
eral recruits from Lamar and as
many from Holly had been rejected.
The company is composed Of a fine
bunch of young men and will give a
good account of itself whatever duty
it is called on to perform, just as it
made a plendid record during the
Colorado war.
On Saturday evening a public re-
ception was held for the company on
Main street. A procession was form
ed at the armory headed by the G.
A. r. Post, and followed by the SOL
der boys and then the citizens they
marched to Main street where patrio-
tic songs were sung and a number of
speeches made by citizens and MEM
bors of the company. There was
large turn out of our citizens and the
boys could see that the entire COM
and general welfare. The probabili-
ties are that before they have been
out a week actual war will be de-
clared, and the Colorado troops being
near the scene of action will be among
the first called upon to go to the
front
The boys had further evidence of
the interest Of the public on Sunday
evening when they were invited to be
guests of honor at a special patriotic
service at the NJ. f. church The
church was beautifully decorated for
the occasion and program of pa
triotic songs and speeches prepared,
but owing to a sudden change of or
dcrs which caused the boys to have
to make preparations to go much
sooner than expected, they were fore
ed to cancel their acceptance at the
last minute. However after the SER
vice the entir, congregation marched
to the armory headed by the G. A. R.
Post and joined by a large number
from the other churches and citizens
generally. They sang several patrio- |
tic songs and then passed down the
line and shook hands with each Of
the soldier boys and bid them good
bye and good luck The church pre-
scented each member Of the company
with a new testament
When the time came for them to
leave at ! 30 on Monday morning the
depot was crowded with regular
jam Of citizens waiting to bid last
goodbye. The company and its equip
ment was taken in three cars attach
cd to No. and is now at the rifle

won the thanks of n sweltcring public,
but has cleaned up financially with

siancd. is running for the nomination
against George Reeves, his first as
sistant, and Tom Munroe. Reeves
and Evers have engaged in many bit
ter debates ad have hurled charges
and counter-c charges at one another
Munroc is taking advantage of the
situation and will show a surprising
strength today. However, it is likely
that Munroe and Reeves will attract
the same class Of voters, while Evors
viii probably pile up sufficient votes
TO win the nomination.
ON the Republican ticket there is

opposing -. NJ. Martindalc for the
nomination and on the same theory
that the nomination of EVers is ex-
pectcd also will Martndale win the
Republican plum, although it is pos
sible that either Roach or Baldwin
will win. Baldwin is picked by many
Republicans as the winner

win one Of the places and the other

While there are five candidates fot
the legislature on the Republican
ticket, it is thought that II. II. Rog-
ers, prominent attorney, and Glenn
Condor, newspaper man, will be the
nominees, in which event they will no
doubt defeat whichever two men are
nominated by the opposing party.
Additional interest is added to the
primary by the municipal bond cleo

behalf of the bond issues has been
made, but all of them are expected
to carry, as the money is needed to
