THE CAAUTAUQUA IlEIIl
and TAE:WAR|

Editorial California Enterprise.
Captain Fallon. in his address
on Saturday evening. brought
out one thought which it would
be we'll for many truly loyal
Americans to ponder over. It
vas but few words in regard to
our conduct at the present time.
he said that patriotism did not
mean that we Should do away
With all pleasure, all of the regu
lar things of life in order to car
ry on war relief work. He said
hat people had cotton the wrong
ldea when they think that they
should give up everything that
hey exloyed before the war
and all local obligations which
hey had in the past carried. He
chen made this cutting remark
that "all who go around with
,ong faces, and vote to give up
Ill pleasures because of their
patriotism, are no better than
oro-germans."
There are far TOO many people
in America today who honestly
,elieve that this is the only way
hey may show their loyalty to
. their country. They pinch
md squirm aud upset the busi-
ness and eadeavor of the world
.long certain channels, by the de-
sire to skimp. This skimping
for the sake of patriotism on the
)art of some of our people does
more to demoralize business and
,ause dull times than high prices
md scarcity of labor. We should
ontinue in an even tenor of life
Ind remember when cutting Oft
Ihis and that, that everyone has
% live in war times, as well as
yourself. Every American must
now nis patriotism at this time
~ doing his bit but at the same
time he must always keep in
mind the demands of his own
community on him as a citizen,
Or in addition to winning the
var we must preserve this 8 rand
.ation of ours for the sake Of
chose who are going to come
nome from lover there"

All this happened in August
1888, when a county seat for Bos
ton was supposed to be a sure
thing. But, as you know
The best laid plans
Of mice and men aft gang aglee.
The county seat went awry.
the country went to the dogs,
and those houses and all other
houses in Boston, and all the 9th.
er towns of Baca excepting
Springfield and Villas, were pull
ed here and there into the coun-
try.
Villas when we last saw it il
the old days was something as
shown in the photoview of il
printed elsewhere in the paper
Fifteen years later on our return
to Baca we found Villas with hall
dozen houses, all lbut one or two
owned by Baca county's onl,
merchant outside of Springfield
Also Boston was all ther'
when the writer took his plan
out of the doomed city in tie ole
days. Then fifteen years later
on our return to the old town,
there was nothing there but
piles of stone and holes
in the ground to tell of its one
time greatness.
Thus the moving of the five
houses didn't cut much of a fig.
ure anyway, the towns of the
whole east end being doomed t.
go down together-the county
seat along with the rest of them.

A picture of both Villas and
Boston will be found elsewhere
in the Herald. The one of Bos-
ton was taken before the we'll
was finished, and when the town
was only half baked. while the
one of Villas was taken when it
was at its best.
When at its best Villas was q
very beautiful town, we believe
in this respect having the edge
on apy of the other towns, and
it was second in size and popula-
ton.
But
Villas was almost wholly void
of diplomats, quite different in
this respect to Boston. Spring.
field and Minneapolis. Bob
Cross man was its principal asset
in this line, but he was no match
in cleverness to the Ringlings Of
the other towns, and hence Villas
never did cut much of q figure
in the county-seat affairs of the
east end.
Captain John Coach, kind
of one-horse lawyer, was the
first to come from Villas to Bos-
ton. All he had to bring with
him was his clothes and nap
sack or something of the kind;
but it was largely through Cap.
McCoach that the house-moving
arrangements were made.
The Boston town company had
q lot of town lnts at It's disposal.
and Mr.. McCoach, acting as q
mediator, got q number of Villas
people to agree to move down.
inclusive of their bankrupt bank
er and several others and five
houses.
OF course Villas became greatly
excited, and took an oath to the
heather gods that young grave
yard would be started when Bos-
ton undertook to pull a house out
of their town.
Accordingly or certain day
probably 100 men, with shot
guns, Winchesters aud other ar
gumentative weapons, a justice
of the peace, two constables., the
town marshal, and the necessary
team force, hied themselves TO
Villas to possess themselves of
those houses and to convey the
same without unnecessary de-
lay and by the shortest route
from said Villas to the said town
of Boston, all in the county Of
Las Animas at that time) and
the state of Colorado.
We don't know whether Villas
had any organization, either for
offensive or defensive purposes:
but if they did they evidently
weren't prepared for mob of
1Oomen, and as the law was clear
ly on the side of the invading
army, the angry towns-men could
do nothing but watch the pro-
ceedings from the safe retreat
of their inner sanctuaries.
One hundred men can do a
whole lot of work in a short
time, and probably in three or
four hours after getting on the
Job the houses were slowly mov-
ing out If town and towards
their new but not last resting
place.
The caravan bivouacked on the
north banks of the historic Sandy
Arroyo, half the men keeping
watch the first part of the night,
and the other half the last part
