STATE REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY
No Proxies To Be Recognized At The
Republican State Assembly
On August 9Th.

Denver, June 19-No proxies will
be recognized when the Republican
state assembly meets in the municipal
auditorium in Denver, August 9Th to
designate candidates for the primary
September 18th. For the first time in
any political assembly in the state all
votes will be cast by individuals chosen
at county assemblies.
Giving of proxies is prohibited by
Section % of the new rules of the
Republican State Central Committee
adopted February II. Under this
rule each caunty assembly is to name
alternates to each delegate to the
county assembly. Any delagate who
is unable to attend cannot give away
his proxy, as the vote will then be
cast by an alternate.
II spite of the elimination of proxies
however, provision has been made to
give each county full representation
in the assembly. In case there remains
a vacancy in any delegation after the
list of delegates and alternates has
been exhausted, Section % provides
that delegates present shall cast the
vote of the absentees in the ratio that
those present and voting shall cast on
any question or candidate.
The ratio system of voting for abb
scntees may involve the use of the
fractions when a vote is counted; but
it also means that Denver the scene
of the assembly will not have an
advantage in designating candidates.
Leslie +. Hubbard, former attorney
general and tentative candidate for
tn. Democratic nomination for gov
ernor, told a Democratic audience in
Trinidad ON June z that Woodrow
Wilson was the greatest democrat
since Jesus of Nazareth" Mr.. Hubbard
evidently needs reminding that 16,000,-
900 American voters didn't agree with
hin. in 1920. and don't agree with him
yet.

LAMAR WINS AGAIN
Defeats the Wiley Team by a Score
OF to ) After a Hard Game
and VIII Play at Home
Sunday.

The Lamar team kept up its long
string of winning games by going out
to Wiley last Sunday and trimming
the strong team there by score of
8 to 5. The game was an exciting one
as the Wiley team had imported
pitcher from Denver for the game and
had several other new players that
greatly strengthened their lineup.
Helbeck pitched for Lamar and was
backed by sensational fielding on the
part of several members of the team.
There will be return game next Sun
day in Lamar and it will be one of the
best of the season as the Wiley team
is adding new material with the de-
termination to take revenge. All fans
should turn out and see the game and
give their support and encouragement
to a good home team. Helbeck will
pitch again for Lamar.

KING RESTORED TO THRONE
Not Wilhelm ii But Alfalfa Is His
Name and Prowers County Re-
cognizes Him.

Alfalfa, which for many years was
the acknowledged king of Prowers
county's farming industry, but which
for two years has been displaced by
wheat, is back again now securely
sitting on his throne. With the de-
cline of prices ard last year poor
quality also the crop was forced into
a secondary position for n time. This
season, however, all this is changed
and alfalfa is once more a big money
winner. Last season the price was Sc
for first grade ard $4 for second and
practically all the alfalfa of the coun-
ty owing to the unfavorable season
was second grade and a light tonnage.
This season there is heavy crop and
all that has been reasonably cared for
is first grade and bringing $3.50 per
ton at the mills. The crop is so large
that the ten big alfalfa mills of the
county are running day and night
shifts grinding up the hay, which is
rolling into the yards in n continual
stream of wagons and trucks. Never
before has there been anything like
the tonnage moving at this time of
year, and the price, which not par
ticularly high, is so much better than
for many months that it has a reviv-
ing effect on the spirits of all interest
ed in the farming industry and other
business as we'll 1t means big in
flow of money into Prowers county
when the checks begin to pour in at
the end of the month, and the market
conditions at this time as well as the
and weather conditions in
dicate n continued improvement. While
alfalfa is thus restored to its leading
place the wheat crop ON the irrigated
lands will be even better than last
year. The long continued dry weather,
however, has made difference with
the non-irrigated wheat in many sec
tions and unless there is a sudden
change in weather conditions this crop
will not be nearly so large as last
season.

KRISWOOD SCORES
Lamar Motor Sales Co. Wins National
Prize by Use of kriswoOd
Fixtures.

Much interest has been taken all
tests conducted by the Michelin Tire
Co., and which have been advertised
heavily in the Saturday Evening Post
and other big national magazines.
One feature of these contests was the
prizes for best window displays of
Michelin tires and goods, and in this
contest there were several thousand
garages and store rooms that had en-
tries. The company had picked three
of tie leading window decorators of
the nation TO act as judges and the
announcement made last Thursday of
the winners showed that the Lamar
Motor Sales Co. took second prize.
The outstanding feature of their win
dow was the excellent display given
the tires by the use of Kriswood
fixture and to this the members of
the firm attribute their success in this
grea. national contest in which thous-
ands of the biggest auto supply COM
panies of the country with the most
model and up-to-date show windows
took part.
The Krisvood Fixture Co. is n La
mar institution and manufactures
very attractive and convenient line of
fixtures for use in auto supply houses
and for display of various kinds Of
supplies The company is a young
concern but has already built up
fine trade. and the fact that to the
use of their fixtures is attributed the
winning of this national prize will of
course be big boost for them. Their
line of handsome fixtures not only
adds attractiveness TO store but
makes for security as well as they
have a patent device on their store
fixtures that makes the theft of tires
almost impossible.
The factory is located at Lamar and
its rapidly growing business makes it
an important addition to the business
industries of our city. The cut above
shows the winning display of the La
mar Motor Sales Co.

Big Bend Hay Mill Sold

A deal was completed the past week
which disposed of the Big Bend Hay
Mill as : Farmers Equity project and
made il the property of the Lamar
Alfalfa Milling Company, which com
pany will operate the mill this season.
The Lamar Alfalfa Milling Company
leased the mill from the Equity As
ISOLATION last year and operated it
successfully. Almost since the organ
izing cf the Equity Association the
mill has been losing proposition to
the Bic Bend farmers, some Of them
taking a heavy loss. 1t is anticipated
under the new management the mill
will offer a better market fer the Big
Bend hay than it has in previous
years. It is more convenient market
for tie farmers of the Bend and if
operated right the mill will prove an
asset TO that ommunity.-Wiley

BIG DEPARTMENT STORE
Store Building in Valley East
of Pueblo.

There has been much talk for some
time of company of Lamar merch-
ants being organized to erect big
building and conduct a large depart
ment store on North Main street on
the lots owned by Fred Kelsey just
south of the Trip hotel. The move
ment has at last taken definite shape
and work has started in preparation
for the big building. 1t will have a
frontage of 100 feet on Main street
and be 14O feet in depth with 4 base
ment under a large part of it. The
building is being constructed by the
F. II. Kelsey Grocery Co, the Adams,
kirkpatrick & Co. furniture store, and
outside parties, and will be largest
store building in the valley east of
Pueblo. The two stores above men
toned will move there and the out
side parties will add other depart
ment1. 1t will be big addition to
the available store rooms in Lamar's
business section as there will be sew
eral vacancies when the present com
panies move their business to the new
quarters.
The present prospects are that La
mar is entering upon the greatest
building boom in its history.

SOUTH SIDE GOES
ARKANSAWYER
Paving Dropped Until Another Year
But North Main Street VIII
Go Ahead.

The paving meeting last week de-
veloped the fact that the business men
on South Main street are mostly Ark
ansawyers- like the man who
wouldn't patch his roof when 1t was
dry because it didn't need i and could
MT do it when it was raining. The
South Main street men decided that
it would be impossible to cut all the
legal red tape in time to pave before
cold weather so they would just put
off starting until next year. The same
condition will exist again then. They
also seemed to believe that their own
home town had the coolest winters
along the Arkansas river as they de-
cided it was too cold to pave here dur
ing the winter months when every
town from Leadville to Little Rock ex-
cept Lamar has done that very trick
and successfully. That is the worst
knock Lamar ever received and came
from its own citizens.
The hustlers on North Main street
at once went before the city council
and asked to have their paving petit
ton pushed at cnce. They had re-
ouested the council to holi it 10 tc
give the south side chance to join
in FOR big distric-, but now they VIII
90 ahead alone and have at least one
section of the city look like it Is alive.

HIP! HIP! HURRAH!..
Spread the News Throughout the Land.
The Bent Land District is Es-
tablished by Congress- and
the Land Office Locat-
ed at Lamar.

Tuesday morning j. f. Godding re-
ceived several dispatches from Wash
ington stating that the Lamar land
office bill had passed the Senate the
evening before. This was indeed good
news, but it was not until "Wednesday
afternoon when dispatch after dispatch
began to roll in stating that the bill
had that day passed the House, that
excitement ran high in our little city.
1t was then that everybody congratu-
lated everybody else on their good
judgment in locating at Lamar, and
a general desire took possession of the
people to buy lots with or without i'm
proycments, anything just so they
estate in this favored town. Men who
were holding their property at thous-
and dollars were offered a third more
and refused il, lots that could have
been bought for from three to six
hundred dollars doubled in value on
the receipt of the good news and a
terrible rich feeling existed. w. W.
Louden got a little the start of the
boom by the aid of dispatch he re-
ceived from Washington in the morn
ing, and lost no time in buying some
property that is bound to be a paying
investment. A few people along the
line of the road heard of the passage
of the land office bill and parties ar
rived on the canon ball Wednesday
night who went to Mr.. Godding's res
idence, woke him up and some OF them.
in the middle of the night bought as
high as six high priced lots. Thursday
morning every train brought strangers
to town who were anxious to buy lots
before breakfast, and yet the news
had hardly got abroad up to this time.
Letters and kilograms are pouring in
asking for price of property, chances
for business, and all such questions as
a man who wants to come to new
town would like to know, and Mr.. God
ding, the agent of the town company,
is head and ears deep in kilograms
and letters, while he works talks to
men who want to buy lot, house,
farm or anything they can get hold
of. 1t is given up by the interested
and uninterested who have seen La
mar, that although the towns growth
is among the wonders of the west, that
in reality she has not yet began to
grow, and that the big boom is just
about to strike us, and those that
would float with the tide of prosperi-
ty must hasten ere it is too late. Hur-
rah for Lamar, Hurrah for Bent coun-
ty, Hurrah for Colorado.

TROLLEY FARES
NOT TOO HIGH
STATES COMPANY

Declaring that eight cents is
not too much for ten-cent ride" ("
the Portland Railway Light &
Power company today filed with
the public service commission its
answer to the petition of the
Housewives Council of Portland
for return of the six-cent fare.
Present rates in effect on the
lines Of the Portland street rail-
way sysem, the answer points out,
based upon the traffic handled,
are not sufficient to provide for
actual operating expenses. depre-
citation, taxes and a reasonable re-
turn upon the value of the street
railway property.
The answer contends that not
only are the rates charged patrons
OF the Portland street railway
system not excessive but on the
contrary are lower than in many
other cities of the United States.
At the present time, it is pointed
out, a fare of ten cents is in ef-
feet In 140 cities; six other cities
have fare Of nine cents; 26 cities
pay eight cents per ride with an
extra cent for transfers and SO
cities have fare of eight cents.
The company admits the allega-
tion set forth by the Housewives
that the expenses of the Vancou-
yer line, including bridge tolls,
are charged to the Portland city
ines, but on the other hand points
out that the revenues from the
Vancouver line are also credited to
the city lines greatly offsetting
The expense charge.
