Death of Harry Lee.

Harry Lee, who was native La
mar boy and lived here until he was
grown, died last Friday in Seattle,
Washington, and the body was brought
here Monday for burial beside his mo-
ther in Riverside cemetery. Harry,
was the son Of former Postmaster and
Mrs. E. T. Lee, and a nephew of C.
NJ. Lee of the Lamar National Bank
He was always a cheerful young man
and good friend who was liked by all
who knew him and he still had many
friends in Lamar who regret sincerely
to hear of his death. He left Lamar
about ten years ago and has lived in
several states since. The. body was
accompanied here by his brother,
Ralph Lee Of Canon City, and his sis
ter, Mrs. Bessie Bentley of Denver,
who are the only members of the fam
lily left. The funeral services were
held on Monday morning.

Oil To The Rescue.

The miners union strike to force
national ownership of British coal
mines has had the effect of directing
the flow of oil from all over the world
TO Great Britain
Coal is, being discarded in the mer-
chant marine, the navy and manufae-
turing, and as direct result of the
strike large supplies of oil are being
imported into England.
For four months ending May first
England imported 10000, 900 gallons
oil, compared with S6,7OO,OOO gallons
for same period in 1920. Third week
in May oil imports were 26.OOO,O 900
gallons.
II seems as if the strike has been
rlinous to the coal industry and to the
miners. A cheaper and better fuel is
taking the place of coal, just as better
and more efficient labor methods are

CHAUTAUQUA HERE
and Program Now Being
Given Daily.

The 1921 chautauqua for Lamar is
now under way and is being well pa
tronized. The big tent arrived last
Friday and was put up that afternoon.
The first program was given on last
Saturday afternoon and with the ex-
ception of Sunday it has continued
each afternoon and evening since. The
programs have been well attended, but
the one last night for broadway
Jones" probably will break all record
for this season. 1t is estimated that
about eight hundred were present for
this performance and they were given
good play for their trouble and
money. Broadway himself was a very
clever artist and the rest of the cast
gave him fair support.
The attendance this year has not
been up to that of some years in the
past but it looks as if there would be
sufficient patronage to come very close
TO meeting the guarantee
The programs continue until Fri
day evening when the chautauqua
closes with program of light opera
classics by the Montague Light Opera
Singers.

Building on Increase.

One of the most encouraging fea-
lures of the business outlook is the re
sumption of building activity. Stats
tics from the country at large show
more building in progress than for
years.
Contracts awarded in 20 northeast
ern states for April totaled more than
a quarter of a billion dollars, the
largest on record for April, and an in
crease OF "a per cent over March. In
come sections the increase reached II
per cent and all sections report gains
over previous months.
Residential construction leads all
ether building, as the nation is short
over 100000 homes as result of
retarded construction during the war
Slightly lower wage scales and cheap
er lumber have acted as a stirnplant
TO building, but there must be still fur
TIER readjustment in prices before
there will be real building boom.
Building, IN addition to affording
employment to thousands of men in
the building ard allied trades, stimu-
lates many other industries. makes
business for railroads and augments
the purchasing power of the country
:nd demand for commodities.

Very Distressing.

1t seems that after all old man
Adam was right and the woman of
the species is to blame for everything.
1t is now decided that women are en-
tirely to blame for the shortage Of
paper because few years ago when
they threw away an old dress there
were three or four pounds of rags with
which to make paper and now scarce
ly that many ounces.

TUo Autos to Garry
One Movie Camera

no YOU know that It takes two
- automobiles to transport notion
picture camera?
This was demonstrated recently when
the company making "Ace of Hearts"
started for location at Pine Crest,
Calf, in the mountain wilds. An extra
automobile was driven along. merely to
trail the camera car. Why? Because
the camera and film are the most i'm
portant things in an expedition of this
kind, and it is n Goldwyn Studio rule
never to tempt fate by trusting their
transportation to only one machine.
The second stands by, in case the other
car should be disabled, so that the
camera might be Immediately transfer
red to it and continue upon the journey.
Also, while one man might carry the
film on the return trip, two men are
detailed to the job because there is q
rule that they must not let it out of
their sight until it is returned. to the
studio fireproof safes.

Wesley Barry Has an
alligator for Movie Pet

A MONG Wesley Barry's trump pets
"A is an alligator which he captured
during his recent visit to Florida. At
least. that's where he got the ally. He
intends to take the gator back to the
Coast with him when he is through
with his New York visit. Yves and the
gator share the family bath-only not
simultaneously-at the Ansonia apart
ments, New York. Besides the gator
and the freckle faced starlct the family
comprises two aunts. Mother and
Grandmother Barry. To these latter
the gator is source of feminine terror.
Yves took little vacation to Atlantic
City to freckle out after his strenuous
work with Bob Hampton of Placer"
and the Indians who came with the
picture to New York, leaving his Flor
ida pet at home. The alligator escaped
from the bathtub.
Mysteries attacked one of the aunts
on meeting it in the hall She wanted
TO call out the fire department. The
janitorial crew finally captured the ally
under n sofa. The family's nerve was
restored when the gator was returned
to the bath.
No, not an extraordinary sized beast.
He's just eighteen inches long.

Scenario Writer Says He

TULIEN JOSEPHSON is hoping that
- Simon Legree will get job as his
boss. Mr.. Josephson is one of the most
successful of scenario writer's, and he
says that he works best when the studio
officials are applying the figurative lash
on him and demanding that he finish a
script Immediately.
Consequently, Mr.. Josephson opines
that all that he needs to write the
