VALLEY LEAGUE PLAN IS
MEETING] WITH SUCCESS

Plans are being carried out for the
formation and maintenance of a fast
base ball team for Monte Vista for
this season. A telegram was sent
yesterday to Cecil Huggins offering
him position here for the summer.
Huggins, it will be remembered,
pitched for Del Norte two seasons
and his classy work marked him as
one of the best pitchers working in
the valley at that time He is a
painter and paper hanger and will
be employed by Busch G. Son if he
desires to come. Huggins is mar
ried man and has expressed the de-
sire to locate in Monte Vista perman-
emily.
There will probably be one or two
other new players to complete the
team and it is assured that the Monte
bunch will show up with any team
of the valley. The boys are perfect
ing their own organization and pro-
pose to round out their team in good
shape before asking the support and
patronage of the public
Other valley towns have signified
their willingness to enter league
and the probabilities are that there
will be a league formed with no less
than five teams. The proposition
has been taken hold of in Alamosa
by the right kind of people who are
enthusiastic that the league COM
posed of good valley teams will be
the means of providing a great deal
of genuine enjoyment to the people
during the summer months. The
unpleasantness of wrangling so COM
mon heretofore would be eliminated
under a properly conducted league
and the patrons would be assured of
getting their moneys worth.

FUTURE WORLD PEACE

And now the plain people, the
saner people of the warning coun-
tries are organizing. For what?
Why. to make sure that never again
after this conflict has ceased shall
the autocratic heads OF European
Governments have it in their power
through secret diplomacy, to bring
on such another world catastrophe.
Democratic control of foreign pol
icies is basic principle of all organ
lied effort looking for the future es-
tablishment of permanent world
peace. To this end. throughout the
world, animated by a common pur-
pose, are formulating plans based on
the provisions by which, in this coun-
try, one or both of the legislative
branches of Government have a
share in the control Of international
affairs.-LaFollette's.

ALL SAME LOG DRIVE

Fred De Mandel was in Monte
Vista today after load of supplies
for his tie-chopping camp on Rock
creek. He states that he expects to
start soon to floating out his ties on
the creek, using the stream as far as
possible and avoid the wagon haul.
A crew of IL men is now employed
in getting out ties and the timbers
are being banked in readiness for
the high water a little later. The
main camp is located at the old cab
ms, about three or four miles above
the forks of the creek and the road
in the canon are in bad shape. Be-
fore the stream can be used for float
ing out the ties a good deal of work
will have to be done clearing brush
and this work will be of great ad-
vantage to the fishermen.

Fugitive MEXICANgIS
BROUGHT BACK !BY
|RIO CRANDE SHERIFF

Sheriff Goad passed through Monte
vista Thursday morning on his way
IN Del Norte having in custody Jose
Pablo Vigil, who was arrested this
week at Santa Fe upon notification
hy the Rio Grande sheriff. Vigil was
the Mexican who was arrested last
June by Marshal Abarnathy charged
with stealing a horse from Andres
Sanchez of Lariat and selling the
horse to O. l.. Sanderson. He was
placed under bonds of $3.50 by Judge
Hender, and being unable to provide
the money was taken to Del Norte to
await trial before the District court.
BY a ruse, Vigil escaped from the
Del Norte Jail and was never heard
from until his recent arrest, although
the sheriff made every effort to To-
cate him and offered a reward for in
formation leading to his apprehen-
sion.
1t seems that the fugitive had been
in Santa Fe for some time and that
he had lately married a rich widow
His whereabouts were betrayed by
another Mexican who notified Sheriff

MORE AND BETTER SCHOOLS

Elsewhere in this newspaper will be seen the
notice of the school board of District No. that bids
will be received upon proposed bond issue of $780,
900 for the purpose of erecting district high school
in Monte Vista.
The matter of crowded conditions in the pres
ent high school building has prompted the move
ment for increased school facilities and the board
has determined to submit the question of bond is
to the qualified voters.
Without question the action will meet the ap
proval of the people and it is in line with the estab
lshed principle of the community to provide the
best schools possible The proposition of establish
ing county high school found to be imprac-
ticable.
Selection of site for the proposed building
seems to offer some difficulty. 1t is apparent that
of less than city block would not suffice
to meet the probable future requirements which
include manual training domestic science and other
departments recognized essentials in modern
high school education

MONTE VISTA

ELECTRICALLY"

hoi otoNell mas SAID that "A din

to be equally true here in Monte
Vista that Electricity Energizes
Business if we may judge from the
recent demonstration of several of
our leading business men to do it
electrically"
We could not look for better in
dication of business prosperity than
to make a survey of the situation
from an advertising standpoint. This
brings to light the fact that every
one is not only anticipating the re-

press the true situation by saying
