Senator Swink's Head is Level.

Senator Swink of Rocky Ford
vigorously opposed the construc-
ton of state canals in the last
general assembly. Wonder if the
senator has. discovered that there
is some water to spare in the
Arkansas river and none OF the
bitches were robbed.-Kiowa
County Journal.
There might be some point to
the above slap at Hon. G. W.
Swink, if it only required a
weeks head of water to make
crops, but as it is all of the hun
dreds of Arkansas valley farmers,
whose crops suffered this spring
from shortage of water supply,
will without regard to politics say,
"Well done Senator Swink." If
two more large bitches were taken
out up the river, the farmers of
this end of the valley would never
get water until too late to save
their crops. Mr.. Swink was work
ing for the real farmers who have
come here to live and invested
their all in farms and had honor
ed him with place In the state
senate, and not for the visionary
suckers that Pueblo real estate
sharks hope to locate around that
town if the state will pay the ex-
penses.
Mr.. Swink may not have had
a college education, but for sound
judgment and the courage and
integrity to stand by it, he is peer
of any man who ever sat in the
Colorado assembly.
The water question is the one
nearest and dearest to the people
of this county and until the ques-
ton of priorites is settled on a
sure basis, we expect our repre-
sentatives to fight any attempt to
build state canals and take water
from the Arkansas river. This is
the only way to protect the rights
Of farmers who have built homes
here, depending on the states

will be first served Lamar

That vast sums have been made in

1t was with feelings of delight and
pleasure that we looked through A hand
pages of the industrial edition OF the
Fort Collins Express, Just received. One
not familiar with the publishing business
can have no adequate idea Of the amount
Of labor and expense involved in the pub
lication of such an elaborate edition of a
six-column paper. The colored cover is
ornamented with typical mountain and
farming scenes and fine views OF the stats
agricultural buildings at Fort Collins.
The interior is profusely illustrated with
handsome half-tone engravings OF promi-
nent citizens, farms, public buildings, ETC.,
together with abundant descriptive matter
furnishing a wealth of information rela-
tive to Larimer county. The constituent
cy of the Express should feel proud that
such an edition of the home paper goes
out to the world to represent the growth
and prosperity Of their community. And
we congratulate Frank s. Smith, editor,
on the successful completion of one Of
the most ambitious publishing feats ever
attempted by Colorado weekly. We
shall preserve the industrial edition of
the Fort Collins Express as model on
which to build an edition OF the ENTER
PRISE when Otero county shall have had
Il few more years such prosperity as is
now being enjoyed.

The Swink- -Wiederman-Doe Suit

The Swink- Wiederman-Doe trial
came off on Saturday before
Squire Clark. By mutual consent
the two charges against Wieder-
man and John Doe were consoli-
dated and both heard at one time.
Deputy District Attorney Hoff-
mire wanted this done in order to
give the Justice jurisdiction over
the felony part of the charge. and
4. S. Beall and Jas. hotfmire
were willing that it should be done
because it would not give the
Squire such jurisdiction. Such is
the clearness of the law in a little
matter of farmer bruising con-
stable. A jury was empanneled
and the defendents found guilty
of resisting an officer but not Of
assault and battery-Constable
Swink's blackened eyes and bruis-
ed face to contrary notwithstand-
ing. Beall and Hoffmire sr. insis-
ted that Squire Clark could not
assess fine for resisting all Off
Ger. Squire Clark held the same,
but acting under the advice of the
Deputy District Attorney fined
John Doe $25 and Jos. Wieder-
man $50. Papers have been pre-
pared for habeas corpus trial in
order to release the defendants
from the custody of the court.
(By way of parenthesis it may be
well to explain that John Doe is
not the right name of one of the
defendants. Mr.. Doe is hypo-
thetical or mythical parsonage
invented by Blackstone, and who
was always defendant when Dick
Roe was plaintiff. Mr.. Doe was
asked his name, but as the proper
spelling of it could not be compre-
hended either by the court or the
attorneys, he was fined by proxy,

SENATOR Sw1NK and g. NJ. Hall,
Sec, of the Fair association, have re-
ceived letters from the secretary Of the
Denver board Of trade saying that the
National Irrigation Congress- contem-
plates visiting Rocky Ford on Water
melon Day, Sept. 9Th. The congress, to
be in session in Denver about that
date, will attract representative men
from all portions of the west, and the
opportunity of showing them the pro-
gress and resources OF Otero county is
one which should not be thrown away.
It may take some little money to provide
for their entertainment, but it will be
well spent in bringing this portion of the
Arkansas valley to the attention OF such
a body of men. We trust that the town
council and the board of county COM
missioners will see the advantages to ac-
crue from making suitable appropriations
to secure visit from the National Ir-
rigation Congress.

The business prospects Of the country
says the Trinidad News, are now decid-
edly more hopeful than for long time.
The labor troubles will soon be q thing
ef the past, and work will be resumed.
But what is specially encouraging is that
accounts from all parts Of the country
indicate that the harvests will be bount-
iful. The great source OF income is the
earth itself, and when the fields and the
mines produce bountifully, all other
kinds OF business flourish more or less.

The Sugar Trust has proved itself to
be the most potent force in tariff legisla-
ton, and at the same time it has made
Democratic success impossible so long as
sugar continues to be IN article of gener-
al use in this country
We read in an Illinois paper some
years ago OF crop 30 large that when
gathering came, the farmer had to put
an extra rail on his fence in order to con-
vert it into pen to hold the golden
ears. We have a story as near true as
the Illinois yarn. 1t is reported that
some of the Rocky Ford alfalfa fields
have turned off such remarkable ton
age of hay that the lucky ranchmen have
been compelled to rent adjoining land in
order to find room for stacking their hay.

with the Pullman company, that they
are compelled to stand with that un-

soon be built. Directly north of the site
of the house Mr.. Haight has planned for

| improvement which Mr.. Haight has
made is yet to be mentioned. Just south
OF his house is hill on which he has
built large double cistern, with ca
pacity OF 225 barrels. The water for the
cistern comes from the High Line canal
and for considerable distance before
reaching the filter moves in ditch lined
with small stones and gravel. Leaving
this clean, pure ditch the water enters a
brick filter and settler. From the top Of

THIN WEEK IN CONGRESS
Preparing for the Tariff Bill in
the Senate,
THE CHANCES OF THE BLAND BILL,

II l. Believed II WIN Pass the House
After Certain Notifications TO Meet the
Objections nf Secretary Carlisle. who
Wants Some Latitude.
WAsHINGTON, Feb I2.-There will he an
effort on the part Of the senate during the
present week TO clear up the calendar as
far as possible prior TO taking up the tariff
bill, which, when il is reported to the SEN
ate, is expected to exclude the considera-
tion Of most other subjects. The speech
making during the week j. to be devoted
20 a variety of topics including the Stew
art bond resolution, the Turpie Hawaiian
resolution, and probably the resolution of
Senator Hale instructing the committee
ON finance TO grant hearings on the tariff
bill. The speeches on the Stewart rcsolu.
tiou will be made during the morning
hour, and the Hawaiian speeches later in
the day.
The bin TO compel railroad companies
operating roads in the territories over
rights of way granted by the government
to establish stations atall town sites estab-
lished by the interior department, is the
unfinished business ON the calendar. and
when it is disposed of the bill to provide
for additional accommodations for the
government printing office will be taken
up aud acted ON "a, soon as practicable.
1t is believed the committee on the tu-
dietary will dispose OF the peckham nom
ination today and if so in all probability
there will be at least one day during the
week devoted to executive session for the
purpose of passing upon this nomination.
1t is expected that the consideration of
the Bland silver seiguiUrage bill will be
completed in the house on Wednesday.
Today is District of Columbia day, but by
special order the time after 3 o'clock has
been set aside for paying tribute TO the
memory of the late Senator Stanford.
When the Bland bill reaches a vote the
general expectation is that it will pass
after having been modified in certain par
ticular- to meet the objections of Secre-
tary Carlisle to give him some latitude
and discretion in the issue of treasury
notes against the seigniorage and in the
coinage of the bullion.
On Thursday the O'Nell-Jov contested
election case will come up, and by agree
ment six hours will probably be devoted
TO debate thereon MIR. O'Neill will prob
ably be seated by almost IA strict party
vote The remainder of the week will
be devoted to the Qualifications apprUpri-
atioms bill

IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER RUBY,
Of Boston, in speaking of the notice
able decrease of immigration at that
and other ports, said that, while the
immigration through the winter
months always decreased, the falling
of below the normal figures was due
tohard times, both at home and abroad.
The intended immigrant in many
cases, he thought, found it was even
difficult to gather together sulliciency
Of means to reach this country, while
others, who had some means had
learned that they would not, in all
probability, better their condition by
immigrating to this country. Added
to the fact that the immigration to
this country had fallen OIL, Mr.. Ruby
said that many were returning to the
old country, and from those 80 return
ing would probably emanate reports
concerning the condition of things in
this country, which would tend to dis.
courage many others from coming
over here who had so intended. The
people in Europe of the emigrant cla 5
were beginning to find out, Mr.. Ruby
said, that this country was not such a
paradise as they had imagined it to be,
where money and all things desirable
were to be easily picked up, but that
here, as at home, it required hard and
honest toll to gain livelihood, and,
perhaps, scant one at that.
