been prominent ever since in the
political and business life of the
county. He lived at Granada until
his election as county judge in 1895,
whcl he removed to Lamar and has
since his retirement as county judge
engaged in business. He was an old
soldier with splendid record of SER
vice during the great civil conflict
when the life of the nation was at
stake, and has always been prominent
in the G. A. r. circles of the valley,
having been for several years COM
mander of Kit Carson Post at La
mar. He was widely known through
out the county as a good citizen, u
man of honor and integrity, and well
liked by all who knew him. He leaves
wife, four sons and four daughters
to mourn the loss of loving husband
and father and the most heartfelt
sympathy of all their friends goes out
to them in the affection. The funeral
services were held at the NJ. f.
church and were attended by a large
number Of friends in spite of the
stormy weather. The services were
conducted by Rev. Inman, assisted by
the few remaining members of the
G. 4. r., whose thinning ranks make
up with devotion what they lack in
numbers.

Immigration Commission

l.. Writ Markham, one Of the three
immigration commissioners appointed
by Governor Carlson, went to Den
yer last Saturday to assist in the re-
organization of the board and placing
it on an effective working basis. As
no funds have previously been avail
able the board could do nothing, but
Saturday they elected Mr.. j. H. Jen-
kins as secretary and placed him in
charge of the office and as soon as
he formulates plans they will meet
later in the month and begin the
work of extensively advertising the
resources of the state. This section
of the state has never heretofore got
a fair deal in the state advertising as
all has gone to Denver and northern
Colorado. but with Mr.. Markham and
Mr.. Jenkins on the job both the ag-
ricultural and mining interests of the
great southern section will be as
sured Of a fair deal
Mr.. jenkins was for five years sec
rotary of the Pueblo Commerce club,
and was particularly active in de
veloping the numerous active COM
mercial bodies throughout the Ar
kansas valley, which work it is de
sired to have extended throughout the
state. He has also been active H.
good roads associations and has ac-
complished much in this direction.

this work" said jenkins Saturday
morning. but have consented to
serve and carry out the policy which
the board has under contemplation.
The members of the present board are
men who are in close touch with the
big needs for the advancement of the
state, and if sufficient interest can be
aroused throughout the state to Sc
cure an adequate appropriation to
complete the plans under considera-
ton, very considerable population
and wealth will be added to the state,
and Il better and closer feeling and
spirit of cooperation secured between
the cities and the rural sections of
the state"

The republican hosts from all sec
tons Of the country have gathered in
Chicago this week in greater numbers
than ever before. So great has been
the crush that the price Of seats has
gone skyward until the prices look
like stock in war munition plants.
The hitherto political leaders seem
to have no control over the situation
at all, and the rank and file of the
delegates are asserting their rights
as never before. While everything as
yet seems to be in a state of uncer-
tainty yet Judge Hughes is the fav-
orite of the delegates, and the polite
ians are trying to combine the field
against him. 1t looks as if it would
be impossible to defeat him just now,
but in big gathering like this any
kind of a stampede can occur, espec-
tally as all present are agreed upon
one point at least and that is that
the country has had all Of democracy
and Wilson that it can stand at one
dose.
The speech of Senator Harding Of
Ohio, chairman of the convention,
sounds the keynote Of the campaign
along the line of true Americanism,
and will be found on the first page Of

Having seen by the Lamar papers
last week that the Lamar General
Hospital is soon to conduct cam
paign to secure funds for needed
improvements, | wish as one inter
ested in the general welfare of the
community and especially familiar
with the needs of and necessity for
first class hospital in the commun-
ity to express my views along this
line.
Having actively practiced medicine
and surgery in Lamar from its first
settlement for a period of a quarter
of a century and being still interested
in the work, | feel that there is no
greater need in this county than
well equipped, well managed general
hospital, such as we have here, where
our people can obtain the same care
as given in the city hospitals at rea-
sonable prices.
l have frequently visited the La
mar Hospital since the women Of La
mar took charge of it last August,
and placed it under the charge of
Miss Long and l wish to give my
hearty endorsement to the manage
ment.
The operating room, while in SPLEEN
did condition so far as it goes, needs
more equipment to render it fully
equal to all emergencies.
The work done by the women in the
past ten months has been u great
help to the medical profession for the
reason that the patients are able to
receive the necessary care and at
tention, and | personally know that
it has directly resulted in the saving
Of many lives.
As one who realizes the great need
of this institution to the community
and its own needs to fully perform
its mission, | wish to see il placed
upon a strong financial footing where
there will be a certainty of its con-
tinuance under present conditions.
Long experience has made me well
cognizant of the fact that no hospi-
tai is money making institution, and
especially would this be true where
the charges are as reasonable and the
care as satisfactory as the Lamar
General Hospital. The people of this
community are to be congratulated
upon having such an institution con-
Quoted here and now that it has been
demonstrated that it can be run up
on such a basis they should be will
ing to complete it's equipment to the
full needs Of the community. 1t is
an institution that any one may need
at any time and its establishment
here is as much a safeguard to each
individual physically as life insurance
is to his family financially.
The women of Lamar have been
working for five years by bake sales,
tag days, minstrel shows, entertain
ments and other means to raise the
money to start this work and it has
come by hard work and small dribs
Is this community going to force them
to continue to raise the needed funds
by such methods or are they going to
come to their assistance with a gen
erous donation?
This institution is a community in
terest for the benefit of the man of
moderate means or no means at all
and for them in many instances it
means life for themselves or mem,
bers of their families. No one knows
the sting of remorse more than the
doctor who has lost patient through
want of proper care or skilled atten-
ton and no one realizes more how
many such lives can be saved by

MINOT MAN RECEIVERS
FROM BROKEN NECK.
J. B. Taylor of This City is the Fifth
Man Known to Recover After
Neck Was Broken.

J. B. Taylor of this city, whose neck
was broken ten months ago by a fall
of ten or twelve feet, returned from
St. Paul Sunday completely cured. An
X-ray picture shows that the broken
vertebrae has completely healed and
he considers himself we'll man today.
This is the fifth case known to sur
geons where man has recovered from
a broken neck. Mr.. Taylor has suf-
fered the tortures of Hades since he
was injured, but he was possessed of
wonderful constitution and vast
amount Of nerve and never once gave
up.
Shortly after his injury, he was tax
en- to st. Luke's hospital in St. Paul
where he was attended by famous
bone specialist, DR.. Gillette We trust
that we will be pardoned for mention
ing the surgeons name, for it is not
considered ethical, but in this case,
we believe that the pardon will be
granted. Mr.. Taylor was put to bed
for five weeks, we believe, and har-
ness was fitted over his head. A
weight over pulley was fastened to
his head and during all this time he
was subjected to the strain. Only a
few moments during the day while he
was being fed, was the weight releas-
ed. The weight pulled the bone back
in place and allowed it to knit. After
being released from the hospital he
was allowed to return home but wore
a huge cage which kept his neck in
place. He has now dispensed with all
of this apparatus and while his neck is
a little tender yet, he will soon be as
strong as ever.

The members of the Good Samaritan
Aid were entertained on Thursday by
Mrs. H. Light, at her charming resi-
dence on Forest street The weather,
though disagreeable, could not depress
the enthusiasm of the many good la
dies who are accomplishing much in
our midst, and a pleasing visit was
enjoyed to conclude busy afternoon.
A dainty lunch was delicately served.
Contractor Cook, ably assisted by
John and Frank Bolden, got busy on
Tuesday morning, with determine
ton to improve Main street. Even
the lean, lank, lantern awed real es-
tate man reluctantly confessed that
there was not only room but need for
Improvement. The City Dads enjoyed
a really breezy morning session, which
irritated slightly the trinity aforemen-
toned, for many truly weird ideas ex-
list as to the manner of construction.
Today Logan demonstrates to an en-
vious world, that even as in all things,
she leads also in good streets.
Mrs. Myers, of Waterloo, Iowa, was
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. j. l. Brady
during the week. Logan would like
to see Mr.. Glenn Myers locate right
on Main street.
Mrs. Russell Gard and Mrs. Brady
were Sawyer visitors on Wednesday,
enjoying the charming hospitality Of
Mrs. Brassett whilst in the sad town.
Miss Havelena Of Sawyer visits Lo-
gan each Friday to give instruction in
music to many. We welcome this en-
terprise and feel confident that the
few additional pupils desired will
readily be found.
Many reports have gained credence
with regard to the dances at Logan
Hall, which are not only without foun-
dation, but circulated by individuals,
whose responsibility is as generally
recognized as the petty righteousness
which distinguishes them. To preclude
all possibility of any Objectionable fea-
ture creeping in, the management an
nounces that for future dances invita-
tions will be issued.

AMUSEMENT NOTES
"When Dreams Come True" at Barre
Opera House, Feb. IS.

"When Dreams Come True" which
comes to Barre opera house next Friday
night, is by Philip Bartholomae, author
of the two farccal success, over Night
and Little Miss Brown"
The author has indicated the same
originality in the book of ''When Dreams
Come True" as he did in his farces. He
recounts the story of wealthy young
New Yorker who awakens to find his al
lowanee cut off on account of his ad-
ventures with a French dancer.
The first act is on ship board, and
shows the boy returning for the parental
scolding as IL steerage passenger. This
setting lends itself to many singing num-
bers, the first ensemble showing a chorus
of immigrants of all nationalities indulg.
ing in their native songs and pastimes.
A smuggling plot is interviewer in the
story, to whom the Dream Grip is an
innocent party. All sorts of trouble is
heaped upon the pair until dreams come
true" in the final act.
A musical comedy cast of more than
ordinary ability will be seen in the prin-
cipal parts, and chorus of twenty four
capable and sprightly young women, will
sing, dance and lend an air of youth and
gaiety to the performance. They will
also wear some of the most elaborate
gowns ever shown on local stage
adv.
