Odd Fellows Anniversary.

The Odd Fellows of the lower Arkan-
sas valley will celebrate the seventy
sixth anniversary of their order at Lamar
on Friday, April 26. Trinidad, Rocky
Ford, La Junta, Las Animas and Gran
ada will be represented, and the gather
ing promises to be big one. The local
lodge, the Sparks informs us, is making
arrangements to entertain the visiting
Odd Fellows in a proper manner.
The visiting lodges will be met at the
depot by the band and escorted to their
headquarters. At o'clock the parade
will move, and at 3 the public exercises
will begin at the Methodist church.
Rev. N. Brandyberry will deliver the ad-
dress OF welcome, which will be respond
ed to by l. L. Mayfeld of Granada.
Among the addresses which are to follow
is one from our fellow citizen, Commits
sioner Washburn. Choice selections of
music will be interspelsed.
The business meeting of the anniversa-
ry association will be held in the evening
from Z to 8. and will be followed by a
grand ball which will be free to all Odd
Fellows in regalia and also to all ladies'.
The Santa Fe has granted low rates
for the round trip to Lamar-and by
running the morning train, which leaves
Rocky Ford at $50, through to Lamar
practically provides special train. The
return trip can be made the same even
ing, a special leaving Lamar at p. m,
thus providing an attractive excursion
which should be largely patronized.

Only one month more and we will have

While the main canals are being re-
paired you should be cleaning out your

borders; fix the headgates, furrow out
the orchard and get everything in shape
so that when the water comes it can be
turned on Immediately.

Projected improvements.

With the opening of the spring a
number of our citizens are planning to
build. The present cheapness OF build
ing material and labor is strong incen-
tive and the next few months promises to
add largely to the number of residences
in Rocky Ford.
Another gratifying fact in this connec-
is that brick will be the material used al
most universally. Among the proposed
buildings are the following:
VIM. Green has purchased of Senator
Swink half block west OF the Catholic
church and has the plans drawn for a
good SIX room brick dwelling.
In the same vicinity Lewis Stumpf is
arranging to build brick dwelling.
Henry Adsmond owns two lots in the
western portion of town which he is fig
uring to improve by brick dwelling.
DR.. W. B. Smith will improve his ranch
X miles west of town by brick dwell
ing of five rooms.
DR.. kearby is adding new and larger
wareroom to the rear of his drug store
for the accommodation of growing busi-
ness.
As soon as the brick can be had VIM.
Black will commence building dwelling
on the numerous lots recently acquired
south of the mill.
Charley Rockers store is not large
enough for the demands of his business
and he is planning to build an addition
thereto 30 by 60 feet, two stories.
DR.. Fenton is doing his share toward
the Improvement of Rocky Ford. 1t is
but few months since he moved into q
new brick store room built expressly for
his use, and now he has another business
house planned. He has purchased OF the
Town Co., the lot adjoining Gross barber
shop and will soon begin the erection Of
brick building 25 by 20 feet for use as a
meat market snd cold storage ware
house. A fuller description will be given
when the plans have been fully per-
fected.

A Grand Valley Birthday Dinner.

Last Thursday We had the pleasure Of
attending dinner in Grand Valley. 1t
was in honor of Mrs. w. P. Wykle's 18th
birthday. MIR. Wykle has a fine body OF
land three miles south of Rocky Ford.
It lies finely for easy and economical il
ngation and the site of the house COM
mands a view OF the well-named Grand
Valley, with the dark blue outlines OF
''the cedars," 30 miles distant, forming
the background of the beautiful picture.
Mr.. Wykie is one of the prosperous farm
bright green alfalfa is prominent fea-
ture of his farms landscape, while a
young and thrifty orchard gives promise
Of abundant fruit in the near future.
We found the house crowded with
friendsand an enjoyable social time was
had while the feast was being placed on the
table. When dinner was announced the
table was found to contain all of those
substantials and iuxuries which are no.
where 30 generously provided as at a
gathering in prosperous farming COM
mnnity. That it was fully enjoyed goes
without saying. Fears were expressed
that Col. Lockhart and Rev. Sapp
showed signs of trying to provide for the
morrow as well as that days provender.
The entire company was not served IN
til three tables had been spread, about 80
persons, old and young, being present.
We sought to find out the average ages
OF those at the first table and make an
approximate guess Of 81 years. Exact
ness could not be secured as evasive ans
wers were given by one or more OF the
ladies, something not expected in these
days of equal suffrage.
Mrs. r. A. Rhoades, one Of the guests,
announced that one of the dinners of the
Grand Valley Visiting Circle would be
given at her home on Thursday OF next

Why We "Point With Pride" to thu
Arkansas Valley.

Arkansas Valley.
ICatlin Fruit Growerl
J. W. Beaty has one of the handsomest
orchards in the state, and will have a
large crop this year.
The best part of the valley is from
Rocky Ford to Nepesta, and this was the
universal verdict of the excursionists
who visited here this week.
r. o. McClain is busily engaged in
adding to his handsome orchard one
thousand apple trees, six hundred prunes
and five hundred plums.
The fruit prospects are good up to
date. Apples, pears, plums, prunes, ETC.,
are in fine condition to bear large crop
If bloom buds are any indication.
-Four-year-old apple trees with buds
enough to yield a crop that will pay for
the trees and the ground they stand on
was one of tho sights the excnrsionists to
our valley saw this week.
They claim that the reason Brother
Barley OF the Rocky Ford Enterprise
gets up such newsy paper is because
he is so tall. The longest pole knocks
the persimmon, you know.
Think of one green gage plum tree
yielding three hundred pounds OF fruit
in the seventh year and selling for three
cents pound. That's what r. o. Nc
Claim got from his trees, and shows very
conclusively what can be done in the
Arkansas valley.
"A gentleman who travelled through
the Arkansas valley this week with the
excursionists informs us that they were
more favorably impressed with Otero
county, in the vicinity of Rocky Ford,
Catlin and Fowler, than with any other
part of the valley, and that we might ex-
pee an influx of fruit growers and farm
ers to this neighborhood.
