NUMEROUS LAND SALES
INDICATE PROSPERITY
IN HOLLY DISTRICT

During the past thirty days the
amount OF land changing hands
has been the all.absorbing topic,
and many a landowner today is
hesitating whether to sell or retain
the old homestead, which has been
the source of JOY these many
years. Among the deals already
contaminated are the following,
but no mention is made of num-
Der not yet closed
c. A. Pinkham, the live realty
dealer, has disposed Of nine quar-
ter.sections within a half-hour's
drive Of Holly, across the river; and
judging from the brisk demand, he
expects to effect several more before
the New Year is ushered in.

w. H. Jones, the A. V. S. B. & l.

on irrigated lands, having disposed

Of the old Crooks Ridge farm. to

ing extensive improvements. and

STATE BEANERY's QUESTS"
Illegal slaughterers Of Range Cattle
Sentenced,

Last Friday was beef trust" day
at Lamar, when all but two of
Sheriff Cal Downing's guests
waived all preliminaries and plead
guilty, throwing themselves on the
mercy Of Judge McChesney, district
judgeelect. this being his first case.
After Attorney CRANKY Hillyer
had outlined his case against the
accused, the State presented its
side, and the task of sentencing the
men followed. Judge McChesney,
in view Of the confessions, was very
lenient, giving o. W. Garrett and
Wehmeyer one year and not to ex-
coed two" at hard labor at Canon
City, while Lyman Hopkins, Mirble
Hopkins. Henry Thompson, and
Albert Bezoni were given an indefl-
mite sentence to the State Reforma-
tory at Buena Vista.
Roy King and Charles Stockton
were the two defendants pleading
not guilty and were bound over in
the sum of $4,000 to the January
term OF the district court.
The coolest person in the court
room was w. J. House whose brand
appeared on all the hides captured,
who declined to prosecute either of
the defendants,

4 DAY MARSHAL?

The city dads held forth last
Monday. with Mayor Haberstroh

as tho business Jagged, but after

Mrs. John Laubach of Coolidge was

Houses treatment to their son Har.
ry. on Oct Goth last. and asking a
date for hearing of charges against
the marshal 1t was agreed by the

structed to notify complainants to
that effect.
Attorney CRANKY Hillyer va on.

cause why such appointment

WHITE BROS. TO RETIRE
After Business Career Of Twenty
Years Hsrs-Wholssals Houses
Instructed to Cancel All
Orders.

White Bros, one of the pio-
neer business houses of Holly,
has decided to retire, the fail
ing health of Mr.. Frank White
fastening this action, after an
interrupted business career of
twenty consecutive years.
During the past few weeks
the travellers representing the
various supply houses were
told that, owing to the failing
health of one Of the firm. a
change of some kind would oc-
eur soon, and to be on the look
out for a purchaser for their
store At the same time they
notified the wholesale houses
to cancel all orders previously
given.
Messrs. Leonard and Frank
White began their business ca
reer in Coolidge when they were
small boys, afterward coming
to Holly, where they have both
built up modest fortunes in
their present location.
Mr.. Leonard White when
asked either to affirm or deny
the above report, admitted that
1t was true, and that the firm
would retire at an early date
even if they were compelled to
sell out their immense stock by
piece-meal. Further, that it was
their intention to take a rest
for at least two years, and pre-
ferred to sell their business out
right than be burdened with
business cares and responsible
ties during that time.

THE STRANGEST TOWN
IN THE UNITED STAES

Perched on the top of a great rock
in the neighborhood of 800 feet
high, stands Acoma, in some respects
the strangest village in this country.
Acoma is an Indian settlement of
some 600 people, and means 1.-THE
People of the Rock" Though the
founding of the village is lost in the
mist of antiquity. it is supposed the
Acoma Indians chose this site as a
measure of safety against the war
like Apaches and Navajos of their
own day. Their selection was made
with admirable judgment, for the
walls of the rock are almost per-
pendicular. The earliest Spanish ex-
plorers found the tribe settled Sc
curely in their natural fortalice. Ac-
oma has remained delightfully."- I'M
touched by the influences of Spanish
and American civilization. These In
dams are quite well-to-do in sheep
and cattle, which are pastured on
the grazing lands of the valley,
where summer villages are located
and where the minimum of effort is
required to care for the flocks and
herds. Although less than 20 miles
from railroad, the village is COM
-paratiyely unknown. The natives do
not care for curious visitors. They
do not wish to be stared at and pho
tographed. Nevertheless, the ire
pressible tourist with his camera
occasionally sales the sleeps that
baffled the Navajo. Nowadays, it is
no longer practicable to suppress him
with a tomahawk, so the Acoma are
philosophically making the best of
a bad job by collecting 50 day for
camera license. The gray adobe
village peers from its eyrie over
miles of Arizona plain. dancing in
the glare of burning sun. broken
only by the sheer outlines of buttes
and mesas.-tArgonaut.

There has never been a time when
a newspaper was more needed in the
household. The great war in Eu-
rope has now entered its second
year, with no promise Of an end for
a long time. These are world-shak-
ing events, in which the United
States, willing or unwilling, has
been compelled to take a part. No
intelligent person can ignore such
issues.
The Presidential contest also will
soon be at hand. Already candi-
dates for the nomination are in the
field. and the campaign, owing to
the extraordinary character of the
times. will be of supreme interest.
No other newspaper will inform you

AMBITIONS IRE BURIED
IN WASHINGTON CITY
Once a Man Is Located There,
He Is Evidently Compel.
ed to Stay.

"The executive departments Of
Washington are the mausoleums of
countless ambitions" observed for
mer Representative Robert p. Hill,
of Marion, ILL.,, at the Shoreham.
MY advice to any young man Of
ambition is to stay away from
Washington unless he relinquishes
all hope. One might almost place
above the doors of every department
in Washington this sign, All young
men who enter here leave hope be-
hind
There is just one advantage that
the executive departments hold for
young men--that is, to give the
struggling youth without funds
enough money and leisure to gain
an education. Unfortunately, how
ever, the great majority of young
fellows who start out with the in
tention of getting an education and
then quitting, get married, change
their minds, lose courage and stay.
In few isolated instances the de-
partments offer chances to enter
broader field, but these instances
are rare. I have known men in one
or two branches of the Government
who have won regulations in special
lines and now draw big salaries as
counsel for large corporations.
But for the most part the young
man who goes into. the Government
service, however strong may be his
intention to get out at the end of q
certain period, stays and stays, until
at last his ambition dies of dry rot
and then he himself dies.
81 know a man in one of the de-
partments whose native ability
would qualify him for any position
in the Government service up to q
Cabinet officer who is drawing the
meager salary of $4,000 year as q
law clerk. He lived in my neighbor-
hood as youth, was graduated as 8
lawyer, built up practice that won
him a reputation outside of his own
community and was in fair way tC
become leading lawyer of the
State. He was the superior of any
lawyer in his county, and had won.
! derful faculty for trying cases. He
got job in Washington as law
clerk, and accepted it for what he
thought would be short time. Hi:
associates of former days are now
among the leading men in theil
profession, and some are on the
bench. Nearly all are worth lots OIL
money. He has just enough to live
on, and his ambition is dead and
buried in one of the departments
here"
