White-way Is
Almost Certain

Ordway hopes to have a real white
way" within the next few months. or
before summer has finally ended. The
proposition has been up In the city
council at each meeting for the past
several weeks, and at the meeting on
last Monday night an ordinance
covering the proposition of widening
the sidewalk three feet and putting
in a gutter was passed on its first
reading. This ordinance will prob
ably be passed on its second and final
readings at the next meeing Of the
council.
The proposed white way will run
from the depot to the Evangelical
church. There are to be four light
posts on each side Of each Of the two
blocks and two on each side Of the
depot block. making a total Of twenty
ornamental posts in the three blocks
The posts are to contain a three-clus-
ter light and similar, II not like those
IN Rocky Ford.
The matter of cost of the white way
is not SO great as has been rumored
In conversations. The total cost Of
widening the walks, putting in the
gutter, laying the wire conduit and
buying and erecting the posts will be
less than $4,000 at present figures,
and 1t is quite likely that by the time
the posts are contracted for the cost
will be lowered some.
The white way is one of the most
generally desired improvements yet
mentioned for Ordway. and 1t is meet
ing With almost universal support.

Proposes
Modern Hotel On
Old Berendo Site
Considers Erection of Big Struc-
ture for Hotel and Apart
ment House-Has Plans In
Making Which Will Be Here
Soon for Inspection.

AL NJ. Jerough Is contemplating
the erection of modern hotel build
ing and apartment house on the pres
ent site of the Berendo hotel, and is
having tentative plans drawn for the
structure. The building would be the
largest and most modern hotel build
ing in the Arkansas valley.
Mr.. Jerough cannot give out much
of the details until he gets his plans.
which he hopes to have here within
month. There are several who
have offered to take considerable
stock in the proposition. and 1t is
likely that company will be incor-
porated for the purpose of erecting
the building itself. at least. The
erection of this hotel Is not an idea
of recent origin with Mr.. Jerough
for he has been considering the ques-
tion for the past several months, and
when he made his plans known 1t
met so favorably with some that they
voluntarily offered to put money into
the enterprise.

Martinez is an old Mexico Mexican,
about twenty-four years of age. and
his victim was about 40 years old.

Sixteenth Year
OF the New Era
Is Completed
Paper Was Started Here In
March, 1902, and Is One of
Oldest Businesses In City
Not One Issue Missed During
Those Many Years.

The New Era Is sixteen years
old, having been established in March
1902, and has been published con-
tinuously since that date. Not one
issue has been missed, the paper ap-
pearing almost like clock-work each
week This means that 8S4 issues
In the early days of the New Era
compositors set the type by hand, but
with modern equipment the operation
is entirely different. The operator
manipulates a machine which puts
the words into form and the line OF
type is cast from the liquid metal.
When 1t has been used in that issue
of the paper it is poured into melt
ing pot and remelted, thus giving
new type for each issue OF the paper.
The New Era has been published
long enough to be able to have in its
files at the beginning the announce
ment of births of babes, who at this
time. might be graduating from tlre
high school, II is older than the in
oiporated town of Ordway, as the
town was incorporated only fifteen
years ago.
The New Era, in its sixteen
years, has recorded hundreds OF
births, deaths, weddings and the like,
and its columns contain a good his-
tory of the county and the towns of
the county.
At the close OF each calendar year
the papers of that year are bound to
gcther in one volume and the volume
placed along side of those of the pre-
ceding years. IN this way records
are frequently traced and valuable
information found for the town, as
the towns complete legal record is
contained in these volumns. In fact
in those files of the New Era certain
records may be found which are not
on file even in the town and county
offices.
Not long ago a Pueblo utility com
pany sent man to Ordway who re-
manned two days to go thru these
files of the New Era to get legal in
formation necessary IN n big transac-
ton. On another occasion the gen
eral offices of the Missouri Pacific
called for and used certain issues to
get valuable information which was
desired at that time.
From a historical point of view
these bound files of the New Era are
of as much value to the county az
they are to this office. A historian.
should he ever desvre to write com
plete history of the county. need go
no further than this office to get
practically all the information desir-
cd.
Yes, the New Era is sixteen
years old. and 1t loves Ordway more
today than it did at best. on the day
OF its birth.
To the New Era there In no town
so good. There is no lot of people
in general so loyal. alert and so pro-
gressive.
To the New Era there is no other
place on earth 1t would care to cali
home. The New Era was born hero.
II intends to live here.

building company and tho erection
of the theater.

New Church Here
Members OF Church Of the Brethren
Propose building In Ordway.

Members OF the Church of the
Bretheren announce that they will
erect a new church in Ordway and
establish their denomination. TheJ
have bought four lots on one of tho
corners in the northwest part of the
city, opposite the Brooks and Gala

The plan at present is to erect a
frame building. 28x40 feet in dimen
sions, so that 1t may be added to al
a later date. Funds are now being
solicited for the building and a good
portion of the amount necessary has
been subscribed.

largest stocks of farming implements
in the Arkansas valley. and the stock
will be shipped to Ordway within the
next few days.

sILo USE IS SPREADING

Wisconsin has $1,000 silos. On
many farms the entire corn crop goes
into the silo. This Information should
decide the matter for those that still
doubt the value of this method OF
storing food for stock. according to
Director H. T. French. Extension Ser
vice. Colorado Agricultural College.
who says:
1.-THE silo has been IN use more than
thirty years in Wisconsin and other
eastern states. My first experience
in filling silo was in Sept. 1881, in
Michigan. and I have seen its use
spread to every part of the United
States since that date.
at can be truthfully said that no
single factor has contributed more to
the success of the live stock industry
in this country than the use Of the
siio."
