LARGE ICE HOUSE
TO Be BUILT HERE

The D. & r. G. and A. R.
I. companies have decided
that they must have a large
ice house erected at Monte
Vista for the icing of ship
ments of stuff by rail, and ac-
cordingly a building for the
storing of 5000 tons of ice will
be put up this spring.
This ice house will exceed
in capacity all the storage in
the valley, we are informed.
A large number of men will
be given employment both
winter and summer in the
handling of ice.

The result of the hearing
will be made known after the
evidence is presented to the
entire commission.
While we approve the. fight
that has been made by G. S.
Birkins and the valley feder-
ated commerce clubs. and
hope for their success. we
frankly feel that the people
will not obtain adequate re-
lief in the matter of freigh,
rates until there is complete
readjustment of the railroad
business, and this is obviously
not within the power of the in
terstate commerce commission.

undertake it.
Another railroad might help

Something new to some valley
folks were the Chester Whites that
were exhibited by Mr., Rockey OF

The Whites are a good breed. but
we wonder il it is worth while to
attempt to usurp the place of two
good breeds already well establish
ed here in the valley. Time alone
will tell and in the meantime we
hope We have another chance to
see some of them white hawgs."

LOSES TWO GAMES

La lara high school made a
clean sweep of the double bill
last Saturday night when the
La lara team won 6 to 4 ar
% to l5.
The girls game was hotly
contested from start to finish.
The local girls surprised every
one by holding the visitors to
such a low score. The score
at the end of the third quarter
was 2 to ! in favor of the
visitors. A field goal and a
free throw gave Monte three
more points in the last quar-
ter. while La lara annexed
four more points.
From Monte Vista's stand
point this was almost rs good
as "A victory, because the gIrrs
demonstrated that they can
play real basket ball. The
guarding of Mary Burgett and
Frances Schall was easily the
feature of the game. while
the entire team seemed to
play together better than any
previous time. The La lara

a doubt. the cat:le exhibit. This
part Of the show was the largest
in point OF numbers, and the most
terest. 1t was probably the best
collection of representatives of the
three beef breeds gathered together
at any Rocky Mountain show. out

HEREEORDS

The Hereford display was one of
the best seen at any previous val
ley show, and needn't take off its
hat to any Hereford show outside
of Denver. Considerable improve
ment was shown over last years
show in quality and condition. but
there is still lots of room for i'm
provement In the matter OF condi-
tions.
Mr.. Painter. who judged the
Herefords. remarked several times
upon the special goodness of the en-
tries of the calf and yearling class
es. He also remarked that if our

whore with their breeding oper-
ations, they would have to change
