High School News Notes

Edited Weakly by the Editors)
The high school basket ball team
went up to La Junta last Friday to
play off the tie game between the
schools and were defeated by the La
Junta team in the fastest game of the
season by a score of "a to 30. The
game was very fast and the outcome
was in doubt at all times. Both teams
played fast ball and there was no
wrangling on either side. This is the
last league game of the season and the
home team has been exceptionally fast
this season. The team is composed of
the following: Church and McMillin,
forwards; Harper, center and captain;
Ray and Ford, guards. Four of them
are graduates this year.
La Junta will now have to play
Rocky Ford on their floor for the
championship of this division, and
as they have a small slick floor with
a low ceiling the game will probably
go to Rocky Ford.
Horney Maxwell went to La Junta
with the team as he could not dispose
of his ticket and helped Beavers paint
the town red. At least they said they
did.
The following rooters went to La
Junta for the game, Miss Odell,
Maude Wright, Emil Amman, Byron
Stahl, Francis Steele, Ruby and Leila
Hughes and Gladys Beavers.
The Boys Club met at the high
school on Monday night and after the

@. c. Y. RAILROAD
Trial Trip for Successor to ID. & G. r..
r. Is Now Being Made

d. B. Nowelss, who is one of the
heaviest holders of Baca county prop
erty, has not been satisfied with the
failure of the Denver & Gulf railroad,
so he has himself undertaken to
finance a worthy successor to that
much lamented enterprise of J. Rufus
Wallingford. He has called the In
ternational experts to his aid, and
they have provided him with a real
railroad train which they claim will be
able to make regular semi-weekly
trips to Two Buttes from Lamar.
The first train left Lamar just after
noon Wednesday in charge of Engi-
neer Wilson, the International expert
engineer, and with President D. B.
Novels of the new railroad and Man
ager Fred Harris of the Two Buttes
companies furnishing the necessary
dignity made very imposing picture
for the camera men. The train was
pulled by a sixty horsepower traction
engine and consisted of four heavy
gondola cars, each loaded with four
tons of freight for Two Buttes. The
cars weighed seven tons making the
weight of the train outside of the
engine twenty-three tons. The es-
innate of the company is that the big
engine can pull this load at the rate of
four miles an hour, making the trip
to Two Buttes in days pull. If the
new venture proves a success it will
be big saving in the marketing of
the crops of the Two Buttes segrega-
ton and go long way toward solv-
ing the worst problem the enterprising
people of that section have to contend
with.
To old time residents of this section |
the train looked like the long delayed
traction line promised to Lamar and |
Boston in 1887 and which developed |
just far enough to have its picture |
published in the papers and then sub
sided. 1t was to be called the big |
Four" and was to connect Lamar, |
Springfield, Villas and Boston with a |
daily service. That dream may yet |
become a reality. At least this time
we have the train before we have the
picture which is quite an advance
everyone will admit. Mr.. Novels has
the reputation of making a success of
all enterprises he starts and he made
considerable investigation of this
proposition before starting upon it,
Officers of the company are on the
ground and they have undertaken to
prove at their own expense that it can
be successfully worked.

FARMERS WEEK
Large Attendance and Many Valu-
able and Instructive Lectures
and Demonstrations Being
Given

The sessions of the Farmers Week
programs at the high school this
week are being much better attended
than last year even, and are proving
q great source of instruction and en-
tertainment for our citizens. The
first days sessions on Monday show
cd that there was marked interest in
every department and drew large
crowds composed of farmers and
town people interested in agricultur-
al work. The attendance has been
increasing not only from the Lamar
territory but from all sections of
Prowers, Baca, Bent and Kiowa
counties.
The domestic science department,
which is being conducted by Miss
Haynes of the Fort Collins college,
assisted by Miss Bess Chappell of
Lamar, is limited to one hundred
enrolment and has been conducted
as separate department for the
women. 1t has been filled already

attended and proved of great inter-
est and instruction. The subjects
of household economy and sanitation
have been especially studied and dis
cussed with much benefit to ALL
In the farmers department the
first day was especially devoted to
stock and dairy interests and lee
lures and demonstrations were given
by Professors Morton and Nevius of
the Agricultural College and E. r.
Mccain, state dairy inspector; as
well as several interesting talks by
local farmers Of experience.
The Tuesday and Wednesday ses-
sions found the attendance constantly
increasing and every session interest
ing. The chief attraction was Prof.
H. W. Campbell, the celebrated dry
farming expert, who has long made a
speciality of the study of the problems
facing the farmer in the dry belt
where irrigation is impossible or so
expensive as to be prohibitive. Mr..
CeAiApbSAi has SOlNch IlOTe VI lneSe
problems than any other expert so far
and our dry farmers especially were
anxious to hear him discuss these
matters. His various lectures have
covered many questions and especially
those relating to kinds of crops that
are most profitable, methods to be
employed in tilling the soil, selection
of seeds, etc. Every one of his lee
lures has drawn large crowds from
all sections of the district and he
has been greatly assisted by the state
lecturers and experienced local farm
ers in making these meetings a great
success.
The Thursday sessions will include
lecture on rural credits by Gordon
Jones, president of the United States
National Bank of Denver, who has
made a special study of the subject
in this and foreign countries. A lunch
con will be given to him at noon at
the Ben-Mar hotel by the Y. NJ. B. A.
On Friday the teachers association
Will take up part of the program and
their especial guest of honor will be
Governor Carlson, who will make an
address in the evening. They will
also give luncheon at noon.
