Sunday Tom Oxenreider and
the editor took a ramble out to
the ranch of Jim Smith, the
sleep man on Butte creek, and
the famous oil we'll ono. q. creek.
At the oil well we found them
waiting for casing, when they
sNftl tlHEzinbs ready to go~down
after the elusive fluid. Mr.. Riel.
ley, the manager, is gro wing a
garden on the bank of the creek
by his little shack that is worth
seeing-terrace after terrace
on bank inclined about As de-
grees. About half a mile from
the oil we'll we found the home
of the famous comedian, Vanbu-
rem, who also has a wonderful
garden. He has on his ranch at
one place a regular oil spring, at
another place an iron spring, and
still another place soda spring
(we're guessing at this last).
Anyway, we think the Vanbur-
ems might start either an apothe-
cary factory or a health resort,
and thus make o. U. creek as
famous as beer made Milwaukee.

In our write-up of the district

name of Atty Alfred Todd was
by an oversight omitted from the
list of attorneys having legal
business before the court. Hav.
ing had our attention called to
the matter, we hasten to make
the correction, and ask Atty
Todd's pardon for the uninten-
tional omission. Atty Todd
was present three days during

in court for his clients. Incl
dentally, Atty Todd is one of the

The Citv Fathers

The Herald is indebted to May
or Culp for information of the
progress being made by the city
council in organizing and getting
things in shape for the legal
transaction of business.
The council prevailed on Atty
Chas. Doughty to accept the po-
sition of city attorney and clerk,
and appointed Doc Emerson Po-
lice Judge.
Now as soon as articles of in
corporation have been drawn up,
published the required time and
then filed, the council will be rea-
dy to get down to the business it
was elected for.
Several things of pressing i'm
portance will be taken up then
for consideration and passage,
among them being the appoint
ment of a marshal, shutting
stock off the streets, the build
ing of sidewalks, street lighting,
speeding, etc, etc.
The thing for Springfield to dc
is to get back of the city dads
and help with all their nights in
whatever the dads" undertake
where united help is needed.
This viii be particularly nec-
essary in the appointment lin.
volving surporD of a marshal,
and in the building of side walks
as well as in really everything
done.
With the united support that
| it should have, the council can
make itself great factor in the
building up of Springfield, which
is indeed the primary purpose OF
its existence.

a good showing-probably even

a good showing probably even
better than Springfield.
The progress in silos has also
been very slow, but the indica-
tions are that the next two
years will see,them go in in great
nun bers, and diprobably practic-
ally every farm in the county
will be equipped with one or
more of these food preservers
before one-hatf of our ten years
has gone into.history.
The Baca county we shall see
at or before the end of this pc
riod: Its farmers out of debt,
with good bank accounts, good
homes and land selling at some
thing of the back-east proper
ton of the price to the value,
which should fbc right now from
S25. 90 to 5000 per acre.
Another thing thao should
be seen, and probably won't, are
groves of trees of one or more
acres about the home premises
and elsewhere on every farm in
Baca county,.
Such is som ething of the
transformation of the next ten
years, which same if completely
realized will not be any greater
than the transformation Of tie
ten years since the second set
tlement of the county began.
And such ID the meaning of
"a Greater Baca County"

Bread Cheaper in Europe.
One of the amazing facts devel-
oped by the discussion was that
bread and many other necessar-
les We're selling in Europe for
very much less than in this coun-
try.
In England 80 ounces of the
"staff of life" may be purchased
for eleven cents. In France 35
ounces of the best bread in the
world costs 8 or cents. The
same is true of Italy, and in de-
vastated Belgium a 45 ounce may
be secured for 55 centimes, or
IL cents in our money.

capitol of the greatest re-
public on the earth, a FOUR

that the attending physician will be

A LaxatiUe for Babies
Good for Everybody
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
a Safe and Efficient Fam.
.ily Remedy.

Every member of the family Is more
or less subject to constipation and ev-
cry home should always be supplied
with a dependable remedy to promptly
relieve this cordition. Whenever the
bowels become clogged and the natur-
al process of elimination thereby dis
turbed, the entire system is affected,
and readily subject to attack by dis
ease Constipation is a condition that
should never be neglected.
Mrs. F. R. Gilbert, Of Millbro. Va,
says that DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
is a splendid laxative for children be-
cause they like its pleasant taste, and
it acts so easily and naturally, with
out gripping or strain, and she finds 1t
equally effective for the rest Of the
family.
DR.. .Caldwell's Syrup. Pepsin is a
combination Of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that contains no opiate or
narcotic drug. 1t is mild and gentle
in it's action and does not cause pain
or discomfort. Druggists everywhere
sell this excellent remedy for fifty
cents bottle.
To avoid limitations and ineffective
substitutes be sure you get DR.. Cald-
