LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

We Would Be Glad to Get Some of It. West Cliff, Colo., Aug. 5, ’l4. Editor Democrat:—Ah I am a reader of your paper, I must write you about our country in Colorado. I read in The Democrat that it is very dry out your way. I wish you could have had som6 of the rain that we have had here. It started to rain the first of July and has rained almost continuously since. I hope it will let up now as farmers must start to put up their hay; All the crops are looking fine. Sunday and Monday we had a rain all through the valley, with some hail Monday, but it did not harm the crops. We had a lot of water, however, the roads being covered and the creeks very high. I wish you folks had some of our surplus rain, as we do not need any more this year. • Land sells here from SSO to $75 per acre. We raise alfalfa, timothy, oats, barley, wheat, potatoes, etc. Very truly, G. LANGE.

Messrs. Rowles & Parker are installing their new stock of goods in the Forsythe building and are now prepared to offer for sale such goods as have been unpacked. Mr. Forsythe completely overhauled the building after the fire of several months ago, installing beautiful new show windows, the most artistic jn this part of the state. Also a passenger elevator for the use of patrons of the store at the right rear end. The wall between the grocery department and the main room was torn out, making one large room, which adds greatly' to the improvement. Indirect glow lights were also installed throughout. Messrs. Rowles & Parker have also made several changes in the new arrangement of their stock. In entering the front door at the right will be found the hats and caps, men’s and youth’s clothing and the shoe departments. The center will be devoted to notions and on the left dry goods and underwear. In the rear the grocery department. Upstairs will be found the ladies’ ready-to-wear, rugs and carpets and linoleum departments. Here also Mrs. Beam will have her millinery establishment in connection with the store.
