alternating want and suffering. For

The Lamar Eagles gave dance at
their hall on Tuesday evening and in
spite of one of the worst storms of
the season the hall was crowded, many
couples coming from out in the coun-
try, some as far as eighteen miles
The music was fine, the crowd happy,
and the hall nice and comfortable, so
they just danced until daylight.
A fire was started in some of the
rooms of the Lamar Hotel last Fri
day afternoon and soon drew a big
crowd. The fire department arrived
promptly, and although the fire was
hard to locate owing to the construc-
ton of the building, their prompt and
energetic work saved bad loss. The
damage was not great but there was
no insurance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Kinsman leave
today for Lamar where they will
make their home in the future Mr.
Kinsman, who has been in the employ
of the Colorado Savings and Trust
Company for several years, has just
been promoted to the position of tell
err of the First National bank of that
city, which is one of the numerous
institutions in Colorado in which the
Thatchers of Pueblo are interested.
Mr.. Kinsman is a capable young man
and has the best wishes of the Tri-
bune for success and further advance
ment in his new field Of labor.-La

Ynmhn MinstreIs at Mile,

The Yamba Minstrels went to Wiley
on Monday evening and gave one of
their famous entertainments for the
benefit of the Odd Fellows lodge at
that place. Fourteen autos went out
from Lamar loaded with members of
the troupe and friends. When the
time came for the curtain to rise ev-
cry seat in the opera house was oc-
cupied and even standing room was
scarce. The boys gave their usual
splendid entertainment and everybody
was well pleased. 1t netted nearly
500 for the Wiley lodge. Owing to
the severe change in the weather it
became necessary to cancel the date
at Hartman, and that entertainment
will be given at date to be announc-
ed later.

We publish in another column an
open letter from Register Beavers Of
the land office which explains itself.
This is done because we believe in
fair play, and also because the attack
on him was made in the name Of re-
publicanism though republicans had
nothing to do with il Tho discharg-
ed clerk was the same sort Of repub-
lican as the Daily Crouch outfit ac-
cording to his own sworn statement,
that is talked republican when the &C
casion seemed propitious but took care
TO always vote the democratic ticket.
Therefore no republican is going to
waste sleep over his discharge. This
sudden solocitude for republicans, on
the part Of an outfit that has been
laboring for five years to see how
many republican candidates it could
defeat by fair means or foul, is sus-
picious to say the least. There are
several real voting republicans work
ing in the land office and none Of them
are complaining Of being imposed up
on.

New Alfalfa Machinery Company

The Alfalfa Milling and Grinding
Machinery Company, which recently
filed articles of incorporation with
with the county clerk, and named La
mar as its principal place Of bust
ness, has leased quarters at 1913 Main
street and will be prepared to figure
with all parties desiring to equip plants
for grinding and milling purposes.
This company is composed Of many
people, a large number being en-
ployes of the Denver Alfalfa Milling
Company, and it is backed by ample
capital. Wichita capitalists, who
have long been interested in the al
falfa milling and kindred industries,
are back Of the company. Realizing
that Lamar is the center Of the great
est alfalfa farms Of the world, they
decided TO make their headquarters
where they would be near TO the heart
Of the industry They expect TO fur
nish equipment for either large fac
tories or private plants for use on
small farms. They will handle the
machinery made under the Wilson
Wetterhorn patents and such other
machinery as is needed to equip
grinding and milling plants. The great
alfalfa fields of Prowcrs county have
made Lamar the alfalfa center Of
the country, not only for manufactur-
ing purposes, but for feeding purposes
and as headquarters for hay buyers
also. The next industries in this line

While a merry crowd of invited

dancing at the home of j. H. Freshman
north of the river last Friday night,
some sneak broke into the barn, stole
fifteen fine turkeys, put them in his

cover his wagon and keep them in. He
made his getaway, kindly leaving Mr..
Freshman the barn, no trace of him
has yet been found.

TROUT DIE IN DITCHES
WASHED INTO FARM FIELDS BY
HIGH WATER.
Government Seeks Invention Thai
Will Effectively Protect Young
Fish From Death.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Tests of various devices
to prevent fish from entering irriga-
tion bitches are to be made by foras-
try officials, who say that thousands
of trout placed in western streams by
the government are killed by being
washed out on the fields. There are
no less than 1900 irrigation projects
on or near the national forests, and
in many places the loss of trout is
very heavy. The amount of water
used in irrigation, it is said, often de-
termines the advisab.lity of artificial
ly stocking the streams.
The government annually plants
millions of fish fry in the streams of
the national forests. Last year over
100000 were planted in Colorado and
Wyoming alone. Where much of the
water is used for irrigation, unless
the bitches are screened, the trout en-
ter them and are washed out on to
the fields. While fish are said to
make good fertilizer, officials think
that trout are too expensive to be
used for that purpose.
MOST OF the western states have
laws requiring that the bitches be
screened, but they are sel1om en-
forced. The farmers are said to dis
like the screens, because they col
lect drift-wood ard trash-which
prevents the free flow of the water.
A number of devices for screening
bitches are in use, and while two or
three have been found to be fairly
effective most of them are said to be
unsatisfactory 1t is asserted that
this subject presents an excellent op-
portunity for inventors, since a sue
cessful screen will be sure to be wide
ly used. Under present conditions Of
ficials are slow to recommend the
placing of trout in streams where they
are apt to be led off into the irriga-
tion bitches.

The refusal of congress to provide
for additional Negro regiments in the
enlarged army has received a rebuke
from Governor Whitman of New York
He has authorized the enlistment of
a colored regiment of the National
Guard of the Empire State, and the
heartening part of it is that. where
as four years ago a similar PROPOSE
ton was strongly opposed by the
guardsmen. they support the COVER
nor's action today.
The Negroes. according to the New
York Press. promise that their regi-
ment will be recruited with expedition
and tiat their soldiery will speedily
prove itself worthy of comparison
with the whites in loyalty. discipline.
alertness and endurance
We pointed out. the other day. that
the colored troops now in Mexico were
demonstrating just that: indeed. that
they were among the best American
fighting stock south of the Rio Grande
or course this is nothing new. The
record of the Negro soldiery in the
Civil war. when 100000 fought to pre-
serve the Union. was splendid in ev-
cry respect. So was it's record in our
war with Spain. In short. the Negro
has won the right through sacrifice
and eff Cheney to be considered an
active part Of our national defense.

lies upon it's colored stock to make
