DR.. Palmer, of Catlin, during q call
on Monday spoke OF the existence OF
Russian thistles on his ranch, and said
that he would harvest crop OF oats be-
fore fully ripe in order to destroy quaint
tiles of the pests before the seed ripened,
j. F. Rocho, OF Greeley, member of
the National Irrigation Congress Execu-
utive Committee, was present at the Fair
Directors meeting Tuesday to acquaint
them with the purposes of the coming
meeting at Denver, and to urge that ar
rangements be made to entertain the
Congress on Watermelon Day. This
visit of the Irrigation Congress will be of
much value to Otero county, and our
town and county authorities should give
substantial encouragement.
Last Friday afternoon DR.. Roberts
and wife took an extended drive over
the adjacent country under the guard
ianship of w. @. Steele, the editor and
wife accompanying. The first stop was
at j. g. Kain's where We ate his apricots
and admired his fine orchard and heavily
laden vineyard. We then went south and
from an elevated point enjoyed fine
viewof the Pleasant Valley and Fairmont
regions, with their many superior farms.
We returned via B. q. Dyes splendid
suburban place, where the best possible
use is being made OF ten acres Of land.
orchard in the country and the trees are
well laden with fruit. The plum trees
were rosy with wealth of ripe fruit and
the premises generally looking most pros
porous. Mrs. Dyes large collection of
| flowers called forth the admiration of
the ladies of the party and the short cal ]
was much enjoyed by all.

The most important portion OF this
weeks ENTERPRISE is that relating to the
Russian thistle. Every reader should at
once examine his premises and proceed
to eradicate every thistle that can be
found. NOW is just the time to do the
work before the seeds ripen. We doubt
il tho farmers of Otero county have more
important business during the next two
weeks than looking after the Russian
thistle.
And the canal companies should be as
diligent in this matter as the farmers as
the matured plants along the bitches will
be most fruitful Of mischief.

ROCKY Ford has always been noted
for pride in its resources and public spirit
in forwarding all measures calculated to
advance its material interests. An op-
portunity now exists for another exhibi-
ton OF the spirit which has made our
town more widely known than any place
Of its size in the state. We refer to the
subscription for the artesian well. The
executive committee has made a distribu-
ton of the required $1,000 among the
property holders of town and vicinity,
and is hoped that all will respond prompt
ly. This being done the work Of boring
could begin in short time, and early in
the fall Rocky Ford might have a splend-
id well of flowing water. That .'times
are hard" none will question, but the
amount sought for the artesian well be-
ing distributed among so many makes
the burden light, and the end sought
promises 60 much of profit to the COM
mnnity that the LOCO should be easily
raised. Let the activity of the committee
and the generosity of the people during
the next week prove that the old-time
spirit of enterprise yet characterizes
Rocky Ford.

The recent conflict between labor ard
corporations has NO doubt brought to
mind the prediction once uttered by
President James A. Garfield which is as
follows: 81 am persuaded that the next
great question to be confronted will be
that of corporations and their relations
to the interests of the people, and to
national life. The fear is now entertain
ed by many of our best men, that the
national and state legislatures, in Great
ing these vast corporations, have evoked
spirit which may escape and defy their
control, and which may WELD power
greater than the legislatures themselves" "

The senate's revision of the tariff bill was

Booming the Stock.

The slim-built, wiry little athlete
from the East had gone to a Western
town, and established a gymnasium
and boxing school, but business
opened up poorly. He was in no
sense a rounder and had not made
many acquaintance, and al the end
of the first month it began to look as
if he would have to throw up the
sponge. One day a big excursion
from che town was about to embark
at the station, and the town bully
Was going along, and in order to
have a real good time he had begun
to I'LL up on bad liquor. He was
pushing people around promiscuously.
and when somebody demonstrated
mildly, he became ugly.
you don't know me, 1 guess" he
roared: II do as l please, and / can
lick any man on this platform"
Nobody seemed to doubt this, Tut
the bully reiterated it several times
and grew uglier. Then the little
athlete came to the front.
Did you say you could lick any
man on this PLATFORM" he asked,
quietly.
"'Course l did, and you heard me-"
replied the bully.
IF you think you can" continued
the little man, taking off his coat,
''l'm ready for YOU"
The bully looked down on him with
inetfable corn.
go way" he said, waving his
hand, 'go way; l said a man; 1 amt
fighting boys" and the crowd
laughed.
Ten minutes later, as they were
loading the bully into an improvised
ambulance to take him back uptown,
and the little man was putting on
his coat to 60 with the excursion,
stock in the gymnasium had gone up
100 per cent.

A SLEEPING
Bears no Resemblance to Anything Pos

Bears no Resemblance to Anything Pos.
sessed OF Life.
TIE elephant in his native wilds
can Re active enough and even swift,
but as we usually see him in captivl-
ty, sha!nbling reluctantly in circus
professions, or swaying gently on his
great wrinkled legs inside his stall,
while awed little boys feed him with
peanuts and gingerbread, he certain
ly looks like the most lazy, easy-go-
ing and ~good-natured Of beasts. OF.
ten he drowses, and his huge head
hangs heavily, and his little sharp
eyes are closed for a moment: but an
elephant really and entirely gone TO
s.eep-settled down for his nights
rest-is another spectacle, and n
which the public seldom has an op-
p%ortunity to see.
MIR. Cleveland Moffett was allowed
to pass the night among the animals
OF the Hagenbeck menagerie, and hav-
ing seen it describes 1T in a recent
magazine article.
There is no stranger sight in a
menagerie," he declares, ''than that
Of an elephant asleep The huge
legs are bent to right angels at the
knees, and the trunk is curled into
the mouth. the whole suggesting a
shapeless mound of mud or clay, or a
half.inf1ated balloon.
st bears no resemblance to NY
thing possessed of life, for there is
not the slightest movement in any
part Of the big bulk, and the parts
are not distinguishable in the dim
light. Head and tail are alike; the
ears lie fat: the eyes are quite con-
cealed in the wrinkled flesh; but from
somewhere within this seemingly
dead a. comes a long Kissing sound
like the exhaust from a steam pipe
This sound continues for several
seconds and then stops, to be re-
peated after an interval of silence.
So long is this interval that the
regular repetition Of the sound does
not seem like breathing"
The visitor was provided with a
small alarm clock lent him by one of
the grooms Of the menagerie, and
was carrying this at the moment
when he CHANGED to approach the
slumbering giant. So complete is
the illusion of the sleeping elephants
not being alive at all, but only a
mound OF dead matter, that Mr..
Moffett abstractedly set the alarm
clock down upon the fiat bone Of the
animals forehead.
''No sooner have 1 done So" he
says, ''than l spring back startled,
leaving the clock ticking on the ele-
plants head. Thefe has been no
noise or movement, no indication OF
~displeasure, no effort to do me harm.
But suddenly in the middle Of the
huge mud-colored mass. there has ap-
peared a round, red circle about two
inches in diameter. The elephant
has simply opened his eye. It merely
remains open on me for a few Sec
Onds. a round, staring circle, aud
then disappears as suddenly as it
came"
That may do for an experiences:
but there are few of us VINO would
not prefer to pass the night where
there could be no possibility OF mis-
taking an elephant for a table.

Company has at present .. 600 cars, includ-

In part fictitious. Witness said the back
rent now owing the company amounted to
about 800, 900. Almost no effort has been
made to collect any OF this since the
strike. No eviction list has been prepared
and no evictions have been ordered.
In Mr.. Wickes' opinion, the fact that
rents In settlements adjacent to Pullman
had dropped from IL to Is per cent. was no
reason why the rent in Pullman should be
lowered.
