Thirty-Two Years Old.

Last Friday was Lamar's 32nd birth
day, but owing to the many war
activities under way for the week the
event passed unnoticed and almost un-
thought of except by few of the old
timers. Those who lived through the
strenuous days of the early history
of any western boom town can never
forget the lively memories that are
indelibly impressed upon the memory,
and especially when it is such an ex-
ceptionally wild and woody and in
teresting history as were the early
days of Lamar. 1t was so exceptional
even in those boom days as to attract
many of the most noted boomers and
also bad men of the old time west.
The publication of The Register began
with the opening of the townsite.
This issue completes the thirty-second
volume of the paper.

Y. NJ. b. A. MASS MEETING
Meeting Called for Friday Evening to
Discuss the South Road D-C-D
Convention and Other
Matters.

The board of directors have called
a special meeting of the Yamba and
all citizens interested in the good of
the city to meet at the Elks club on
Friday evening, May 81, for the pur-
pose of discussing the question of the
south road and the entertainment of
the D-C-D Convention in July. Other
matter of interest will also be brought
before the meeting. The proposition
of what the government is willing to
will be read and statement of what
it is expected the city and county will
do to secure the government assist
ance. The indications are that the
travel over the D-C-D highway will
be heavy this year and if the public
is satisfied with the condition of the
road and treatment accorded the visit
ors, the travel will increase rapidly.
that this end of the road is kept up
properly.
All indications now point TO the D.
CD Convention being one of the larg-
est bodies of visitors that Lamar ever
entertained and it is necessary that
our people begin in time to make the
necessary arrangements to see that
all are properly taken care of. There
will be a number of men of distinc-
ton here for the two days session and
it promises to be a notable gathering.
A number of other matters of in
terest to our city are to be considered
at the meeting, and all citizens of the
town are requested to make it point
to attend if possible. There will be
no assessments made or subscriptions
taken.

Nearly everything in Lamar as well
as other places has been included in
the general advance of the past two
years but so far the price of shave
has remained at the old figure. On
next Saturday, however, old H. c. l..
invades the barber shops of the town
and it will cost you two dimes to
camouflage the ladies into thinking
YOU are a dude instead of a rough
neck. This raise had already been
made most places in Colorado. The
other butchers have raised prices so
often in the past two years that this
one won't cut so deep as might be
expected.

proportions as the refiners are pour

poured on, however, judging by the
