>NEws CHANGES HANDS.
r. Z. Wood, Formerly Owner
wiley Journal, New Editor.

The Lamar Daily News which,
from all appearances. has been hav-
ing rather precarious existence
for the past six months or more,
has changed hands, and $. A.. Crary
has relinquished the editorial man
agement. The name of r. E. Wood,
who recently sold the Wiley Journ-
al, appeared as editor in Tuesdays
edition.
Though the change appears to
have taken place Monday, no copy
of that days issue has reached The
Chieftain office and it is not known
here as yet what the retiring editor
of the News will next turn his at
tentiOn to.
The News has been anything
rather than a prosperous or pre-
sentable looking specimen of the
newspaper world for some time and
anything rather than a favorable
reflection on the town of Lamar.
The change will doubtless result in
material improvement from both
news and advertising standpoints.

Freieht Traffic Demoralised.

Car shortage has been greatly In.
tensified by the coal strike and cut
ting off of trains the past week and
local shipping greatly interfered
with. There were calls this morning
for 20 cars here in Holly by local
firms, alfalfa meal, grain houses,
and others. Owing to congestion
on the Santa Fe near Dodge City
shipments east from here are being
held up also As matter of fact
both passenger and freight service
are greatly demoralized. The mail
service is likewise afflicted.

Morning, while Wyoming and

Holly and vicinity as well as the
balance Of the state were hit Mon
day by the coolest snap of the pres
ent winter. A northeast wind ac-
companied by a light snowfall and
a zero temperature set in Monday
morning and by night had attained
the proportions of blizzard.
The snowfall in this immediate
section was only q couple of inches
but the temperature dropped Mon
day night to IA degrees below zero.
Tuesdays temperature through
out the day was at zero or below
with the northeast wind still blow
ing. Tuesday night the thermOme-
ter registered Is below. Many wat
or pipes throughout the town
were frozen up during the two
nights.
Wednesday the temperature be
gan to rise and the wind abate and
today it was almost as balmy as
spring, though Indications of rain
or snow are still apparent. De
spite the general shortage of coal
no cases of suffering have been re
ported. Cattlemen throughout
this section seem to have been
prepared for the storm with con-
venient supply of feed and stock is
slid not to have suffered greatly
in this section.
State reports indicate that it has
been the cOldest December weather
experiences in Colorado for many
wears. The thNyg13OR{af,*Ap *Aps. tered

Two Stubs, Eleven and
Twelve Taken Off.
MAINLY DUE TO STRIKE
AND FUEL CONSERVATION
Passenger Train No. Now Stops
Hers-It and No. Q Do Local
Work Of Former ,Lseal "stubs"-
Passenger Schedules OF.

AS one of the results of the coal
and steel strikes and general con-
servation program necessitated
thereby, four passenger trains
through Holly over the main line
of the Santa Fe road have been an
nulled- off cOmpIetely-till
further notice.
Included in this curtailment are
the two east and west bound local
stub" trains passing here about
noon, passengert rain No. IL west
bound about IL q. m, and east
bound passenger train No. IL, due
here about 4:50 p. m.
These trains were taken of Mon
day. Passenger and mail train No.
8 which formerly palsed Holly with
out stopping now does the local
work of the west bound stub"
and stops. No. 8, east bound now
does local work also. As q result
of these annulments and doubling
UP, train schedules have been COM
pletely demOralized. No. 8, for in.
stance, due here at 1906 is running
all the way from five to Is hours
behind time with little or no hope
OF getting caught up, with the
amount of local work which it now
has to do.
While the taking off of these
trains is an Inconvenience to Holly
people of course, yet 1t is not more
serious than the delayed schedules
az the trains left on. When one
may Start ifOm here 6f any given
point or when they may reach
their destination is now problem.
But with the calling off of the coal
strike Tuesday there is ray of
hope that some relief may be had
in the course of time.

Colorado State Dairymen's Associa.
ton will be held on December 16
and 18th, at Fort Collins in cOnnec-

Roud McCann, secretary of the

one OF the most successful meetings
of any that has been held by the
association in recent years. The
annual meeting was not held last
year, due to the flu restrictions.
An interesting program is being
prepared by directors of the assO-
ciaion and it is one that is not only
different from past programs, but
it promises to hold an unusual
amount of interest and practical
value by representatives of the
different branches of the dairy in.
dustry, on the progress of their
particular line during the past
year.
Opening address will be made by
G. w. Hall, president. Mr.. Mum,
president of the National Dairy
Council will be one of the leading
speakers on Tuesday 18th, and Mr.
Pollock of the American Holstein
Association will be one of the lead
ers on Wednesday the 18th. A large
part of Wednesdays program will
be made up of reprOts from special
representatives OF each local dairy
organization and county on the
progress of dairying in their respec-
tive districts. Special reference will
be given in these to the progress
of herd building or any improved
dairy methods.

Night Fireman at Rockwell.

Owing to the extreme cold wealth
er the fore part of the week Supt.
Shanner had a night fireman put
on at the Rockwell school build
ing. The hot air heating plant in
that building is not so efficient as
the steam plant in the high school
building and therefore requires
much more time to heat the build
ing to the proper tempeature in
the morning after it has been al
lowed to cool over night.

On the site of old Fort King. three
miles east of town, one day last week,
Mr. Chas. L. Moore dug up some in
teresting relics. Mr. Moore was put
ting in dipping vat for the county
on what was the parade ground sur
rounding the old fort, and while max
ing the necessary excavations his
spade turned up bottle. A bottle
wasn't an unusual thing in those days,
tho it is becoming rather infrequent
in these, but this bottle is of unique
construction. 1t is of clear brown.
glass and oval shape, and holds about
pint On one side is blown the
American eagle with outspread wings
and seventeen stars above ia star
for each state when the bottle was
made On the other side is an army
wagon drawn by two mules. The
wagon is loaded with small barrels,
evidently powder kegs. Around this
design runs the words, Success to the
railroad" The bottle is intact, except
for a part of the neck which was
Clipped off by Mr.. Moore's spade. 1t
was evidently used TO keep powder in.
The other relics were musket ball
and part of the barrel of an old mus
ket, almost rusted TO pieces. The
souvenirs were found couple of feet
under ground. showing there have
been some changes in the terrain since
the days of Osceola.

The Lakeland Telegram, after re-
printing in full our article on the
state farm at Raiford, adds the COM
ment:
Eve have taken pleasure in giving
considerable space to printing the OBJ
servations of the editor Of the Ocala
Star, who has visited the state prison
farms. and who reports most crafty
ing conditions there. These observa-
tions are the more valuable because
we are positive that if things had not
been found right the editor would
have fearlessly said so. We know too
little about our state institutions;
there is too little publicity shed on
their conduct. The average citizen
knows in vague way that he pays
taxes to maintain them, but that is
about all he does know about them.
We are glad that at least bne of our
institutions undertaking the correc-
ton or reforming of offenders is in
charge of a big, humane man, who
does not abuse his position. We wish
we could make this statement from
absolute knowledge concerning all of
them

We notice that among the senators
who voted for the Susan B. Anthony
amendment last week were Lafollette
and most of the other members of
that "little group of willfu1 men" who
tried to tie President Wilson's hands
when he asked for authority to arm
American ships against Prussian pi-
rates just two years ago. Also there
were in the list of those who voted
for the amendment five of the six
towards who voted against war
with Germany-Lafollette, Vardaman,
Norris, Kenyon and Gronna the men
who sided with the rapists and the
baoy butchers against civilization.
We should think any genuine Ameri-
can would hate to be caught ON the
same side of roll call with that
bunch
