Legislative stock bill provokes heated Lamar debate
In Lamar Colorado on March 27 1901 a heated discussion centers on a fusion legislative apportionment plan. The article argues the plan unfairly shifts representation from Prowers and Baca counties to Las Animas and criticizes the Sparks editor and local partisan claims. It also covers the stock bill aimed at railroad stock injury compensation and notes cattlemen and farmers press for passage amid railroad lobbying. Local notices include beet labor call and reorganized Columbia Savings Association officers. The Nobles Dramatic Co opens at the opera house with Our Strategists, praised for pace and entertainment.
