The Railroad Fund
The matter of the Umar rail
road fund cannot be passed over
without calling especial attention
to the work of the trustees com
mittee appointed by the contribut
ors to handle the fund. The meet
ing of last January was very for
tunate Indeed in its selection of
the members of this committee.
Messrs. C. C. Goodale, A. E. Bent,
C. M. Lee, B. B. Brown and D. B.
Nowels. It would have been Im
possible to have picked a better
committee, are thoroughly
capable business men and men not
easily to be fooled. The large
fund raised by our citizens has
been carefully safeguarded by them,
and It is largely to their shrewd
ness and buainess acumen that we
owe the fact that only a small per
cent of the money has been spent
and that mainly was spent In the
matter of protection to the rest of
the fund. They have each spent
considerable money and a great
deal of hard work In the Interest
of our people and certainly de
serve the hearty commendation of
all subscribers to the fund.
Making Them Come Through
The press of the state owes a
vote of thanks to Mr. Chas. Max
well of the Prowers County Fair
Association, and perhaps many of
them do not know It. Eight years
ago not one fair in the state was
paying the papers cash for adver
tising. and the Immense amount of
work done by tthe press was paid
for In complimentary tickets, most
of which was never used. Mr. Max
well as secretary decided to pay
cash for all advertising of the local
fair seven years ago, and since then
the fairs of the state have been
gradually getting in line. The state
fair got in the bond wagon three
years ago and Rocky Ford caqie
through this. year. Others have
been gradually adopting the cus
tom, and now It is only Denver
with Its millions of capital and im
mense patronage from all over the
state that expects to get Its ad
vertising free. They are getting
such a frost this year that they
will either have to get out of busi
ness or got into line, and pay for

Building Up the Country
The connection between a lo
cal commercial body and the farm
ing Interests has heretofore been
more or less slack, particularly In
the Arkansas valley. From the
Interest shown by the farmers In
the past few months, however, this
condition is rapidly giving way to
one in which the farmers are be
coming vitally interested In what
the local commercial bodies are
doing, and are lending their mor
al, financial and all other sup
port. There must be a reason
for the change, on the principle
that there is a reason to all things.
The Arkansas valley is decided
ly an agricultural community, with
the exception of a few manufac
turing enterprises. Even these
enterprises are dependent to a
sreat extent upon the farming dis
tricts. Therefore, what benefits
the farmer here benefits the town. 1
Build up the surrounding coun
try and the towns will take care
of themselves, is the essence of
the spirit of the Arkansas valley
at the present time.
The Lamar commercial associa
tion, for instance, has undertaken
a good work in encouraging im
migration to this district. A ques
tion easily answered would be
what end of the section, the farm
er or the business man, profited
more by the immigration. Un
doubtedly the farmer does. Exper
ience In the past, and in every
other section of the valley and
state has proven that Immigration
encourages more Immigration and
hat inakeß prices of land higher.
The towns build up with the In
creased farming population, all of
which tends to one thing, a high
er valuation of farm property to
the farmer, and a more beautiful,
thickly settled country.
A farmer argues that the bus
iness man is the one to take the
burden of the colonization work
from the fact that to the farmer
the storekeeper looks for his sup
port, and the more farmers the
more support. To make this true
the sentence, 'and more store
keepers come with more farm
ers” might be added. This does
throw the burden of the work on
the business man. The farmer,
however. In being a business man,
and representing more capital In
vested than the business houses in
town Is to be considered, and his
support towards the local body is
needed.
In Bent county, for Instance, the
local chamber of commerce of Las
Animas has Issued a call for ten
cents an acre to be used for ad
vertising purposes. The farmers
are responding encouragingly, for
the reason that they know that
the expenditure of ten cents per
acre. If handled Judiciously, means
an added vauatlon to their lands
of many times that amount. Ten
dollars an acre increase Is nothing
when the country Is beginning to
feel the influx of hungry land seek
•rs, all with the money to pur
chase. or settle.
The farmer is In a position to
do wonders in assisting the local
'*ommerclal association. The mem
bership fee Is not so heavy that
the farmer will miss it. That Is
the small part of it. It Is the
moral support that the business
interests like to feel, to know that
the farmers are Interseted in what
Is being done for a community that
assists in the work. The whole ef
forts of a local chamber of com
merce are not necessarily tied up
In the immigration work. There
are a thousand and one things to
be done In a town that the local
bodies can do, and the farmer
takes as much pride In having them
done as the business man living in
the city. It beautifies his home
town, and that is a pleasure that
should be dear to the heart of
any farmer.
When the local commercial as
sociation makes a bid for new
industries, who Is the most able
to feel the direct benefits of It.
the business man or the farmer?
Decidedly the farmer, for In this
section the Industries are natur
ally relying on the farming in
dustry, as stated before. There
fore if anything In the manufac
urlng line of industry Is encourag
ed. the farmer Immediately feels
the benefits, both from the raise
in the. price of land, as shown by
he coming of the American Beet
Sugar company factory here in
Lamar, and also In having an
opening made for a product of
his soil that will bring him more
money than other crops that he
might have raised and shipped to
other manufacturing points.
The local chambers of commerce,
or commercial whatever it may be
ailed. In the Arkansas valley
towns have a great work cut out
for them this coming year. and
with no exceptions are any of them
down to It. Every one Is
working hard, and the farmers are
conspicuous by their hard work, al
so. a thing that reflects Rreat
credit on the whole community.
In Rocky Ford the farmers take
an active interest in the Chamber
->f Commerce proceedings, realizing
that their interests are everyone’s
interest, and they wish to do their
share. The farmers of the Umar
section, in Joining the commercial
club, besides hav*ng the club roms
for their use, will materially aid
the local body In the upbuilding of
a country that has been proven to
them, and will be proved to any
otton that cam to ntohftd. la tto
