Fully three-fourths of the pea-fed
lambs finished in the San Luis valley
this winter have been railroaded off
to market. The most of these sheep
went to Kansas City and st. Louis
and the later runs have been bringing
better than II cents the pound which
is good money for the short fed
stuff. This rate gives the farmers
from $50 to $35 the acre for their
peas, or $25 clear of all expenses in
raising the crop and they are feeling
pretty good over it. If they were
fixed to carry these sheep little
farther on by giving them corn after
the peas run out the profits would
be still greater and would keep the
boys busy for a month or two longer
before the spring work begins The
later markets always bring the bet
ter prices because of the improved
quality and this is the thing that
counts nowadays. The Chicago fell
lows are predicting that 13 cents
will be paid before the season closes
and this looks pretty good for free
trade year.-field and Farm.

FIRST PROSECUTION FOR
BO0TLECGING IN The 18TH
DISTRICT LANDS SENTENCE

AS good stiff penalty for the vio-
lation of the law in regard to the
possession and distribution of liquor
the sentence of four months in the
county Jail and a fine of 5000 was
imposed upon one AL Ingram We'd
nesday by Judge Hender for the city
of Monte Vista.
Ingram was arrested Tuesday by
Marshal Abernathy, who had secured
evidence sufficient to warrant the
search and seizure" thing, and the
speedy trial and sentence followed.
Several dozen pint bottles of vile
whisky and some of the same put up
in quart TASKS was found by the
marshal in suit cases belonging to
Ingram and the liquid was used to
settle the dust in the alley back of
the city hall
The bootlegger is young man
who halls from Pagosa Springs. He
was evidently doing a good business
at $500 a quart and will probably
draw the attention of the district
court for infraction of the state law,
which means "penitentiary"

T. E. ICKES BURIED HERE

The body of T. E. Ickes, who died
at the San Luis Valley hospital in
Alamosa last Saturday morning, was
brought to Monte Vista Sunday.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church, conducted by
Rev. Darley of Alamosa who was as
sisted by choir also from that place,
and interment was made in Monte
Vista cemetery at the side of his wife
who preceded him two years ago.
Mr.. Ickes was past eighty years of
age and was one of the early settlers
in Colorado. A large part of his
life was spent at Center, where he
was postmaster for number of
years. He is survived by six child
ren, Walter N. Ickes of Alamosa; T.
e. Ickes, of Wyoming; Clarence
Ickes, of Center; Mrs. H. M. Burn

FOUND GUILTY

In the district court at Conejos
this week Vicente Lopez was on trial
for stealing cattle. The jury was out
all of last night and this morning
brought in a verdict of guilty.
Lopez has been before the courts
of this county and of New Mexico
many times on similar charges dur
ing the past twenty years, but has
always escaped conviction. Cattle
men are jubilant that he is at last
in fair way to pay the penalty of
one crime at least.-La lara Enter

If reports are true, Clark Denny,

become a wealthy man through his
interest in a potash field in Nebraa-

potash, and as this article is in big
demand in this country at present
since the importation from Germany
has been shut of, the price makes it
very valuable.

SUGAR FACTORY WILL Be
THISPLACE

IL seems conclusive that the sugar
factory will be dismantled and the
machinery will commence to be re-
moved from Monte Vista within the
next few weeks. Preparations for
vacating the factory are now being
conducted, there being a lot of grain
and other property stored at the
place.
This marks the elimination of a
very earnest effort on the part of a
few individuals to retain the sugar
factory at this place in face of an
indifferent attitude on the part of
the majority of the farmers towards
raising beets. Some will always be-
lieve that this valley is favorable
locality for beet culture and the fact
remains that complete and thor
ough test has not been made here of
the sugar beet question.
We are advised that the Great
Western will complete negotiations
for the purchase of the plant on the
24th of this month and that the re-
moval of machinery will take place
at once. The purchasing company
had representatives in this territory
for number of weeks and their re-
port on beet acreage secured did not

LIGHT COMPANY ANNOUNCE
A REDUCTION In RATES

In these days of constantly in
creasing costs, especially that of liv-
ing. it is quite a pleasure as well as
relief to find out that the cost of at
least one household necessity has
been reduced.
We are referring particularly to
the recent announcement of the
Monte Vista Light, Heat and Power
Co., made through this paper to the
effect that they were making volun-
tary reduction in their rate. This
reduction, according to Mr.. j. V.
Anderson, the manager, is being
made solely on the initiative of his
company, in line with it's general
policy, that the people are entitled
to the best service, best treatment,
best attention to needs, and lowest
rate that it is in the power of his
company to furnish.
The reduction, coming as it does
at this time in the midst of a gen
eral increase in prices along all lines,
should commend the company to the
people of Monte Vista, not only on
account of the financial saving that
it will mean for energy purchased on
the secondary rate" but also due
to the fact that the reduction was
made voluntarily. This action is a
decidedly novel one for a power
company to take inasmuch as the
costs of all materials, such as the
power company would use, has been
increasing steadily. Take, for in
stance, the item of copper. Copper
has almost doubled in cost in the
last year and at this writing the
top" does not yet seem to have
been reached.
In giving an explanation for this
reduction, Mr.. Anderson is quoted
as saying: eve have felt for some
time that there should be no reason
why necessary commodity, such as
electric service, could not be sold in
much the same manner as other
much used and needed articles, such
as flour, potatoes, grain, etc. These
everyday necessities can usually be
bought at a variation in price, de-
pending upon the quantity purchas-
ed in a given length of time.
we are convinced now that the
same general principles will apply
TO the sale of electric energy and for
that reason have reduced our rate
through the medium of our "sec-
ohoary rate the underlying idea
or foundation of which is "quanti-
w. Now there is no need for con-
sternation when the word "uuanti-
ty' is mentioned, for it is much less

conception we all have of Carload"

'"onte Vista as a most acceptable
surprise and we hope that they will

an possible ways so that our city
