H. F. Hagen has just heard from
shipment Of his honey to Tennessee and

fa honey is the very finest produced any
where on the globe.
L. R. Fenlason now has his office in
the new building built by A. M. Jackson.
In these eligible quarters he is prepared
to do large amount OF real estate and
insurance business and we trust will

former.
Quite pleasant and surprising 80
cial event took place in Rocky Ford
Monday night, the occasion being a re-
ception and dance given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. w. Gross to their La Junta friends.
About twenty six persons came up and
the evening was one OF continued merri-
ment. The music was furnished by
Denny and Lowry, two young profess
sionals, who have traversed the greatest
part of the United States, and who are
artists in their line.
The team which we last week re-
ported killed near Fowler belonged to b..
r. Fenlason. The accident happened on
this wise: The horses were hitched at
Fowler and becoming frightened broke
loose. They ran down the railway track
and in attempting to cross a trestle fell
partly through the ties. The Santa Fe
train passing soon after both were killed.
They were a pair of fine animals aud Mr..
Fenlason regrets his loss very much.
Beatty Bros. of Catlin, Colo, shipped
in seven carloads of steers fresh from the
range, which brought s325. They av-
eraged 1861 pounds. Along with the
steers was a cow u years old, which
weighed 1,41O pounds and sold at 1925.
This COW dropped calf every year for
-,
tured brought S28 head. Besides this.
the old COW furnished milk for the Beatty
family for years. These results were
brought about, it ia said, from feeding
the animal alfalfa on the Arkansas
Kansas City Times.

chased an additional 200 stands OF bees

The Rocky Ford public library has
always enjoyed good patronage. It
has an assortment Of excellent books but
the time is now ripe for new purchase.
Why not have on entertainment of some
kind to raise funds for the purchase OF
new books? The library should be kept
attractive by frequent additions of the
latest new books. Our citizens have al
ways rallied to the support Of all move
ments in behalf of the library, and we
are confident are anxious to do SO ugain.

Chamberlains Cough Remedy is fam
GUS for its cure of bad colds. It opens
the secretions, relieves the lungs and aids
nature in restoring the system to a
healthy condition. Iffreely used as soon
as the cold has been contracted, and be-
lore 1t has become settled in the system,
it greatly lessons the severity of the at.
tack and has often cured in single day
what would have been a severe cold.

Tho semi-annual statement of the
State Bank of Rocky Ford which is pub
lished in this issue makes q good show
ing. The comparative statement which
accompanies il shows most healthy
growth. Starting IN 1888 with deposits
OF SS,45S.0S, it has had continuous growth
and prosperity up to 1895, when the de-
posits aggregate the handsome sum OF
s59,475.07. Such an increase of business
speaks strongly for the bank and at the
game time is q faithful index of tho
growth of Rocky Ford and the develop
ment Of the finest agricultural section in
southern Colorado.

!, Citizens of Trinidad arc moving in
the matter of protection of coal miners
from the evils of the scrip feature of the
coal mining business. They seek to
have sympathizers throughout the state
join with them in an appeal to the legis-
lature to pass law compelling mine
owners to pny cash to their employees at
least monthly, and prohibit the use Of
scrip whereby the workmen are COM
PEELED to buy goods at exhorbitant prices
at the companies' stores. This move
ment is one worthy of the aid Of every
friend of honest labor.

Senator Swink spent Sunday and
Monday at home. Much of his time
since the organization of the Legislature
has been spent in perfecting the senator
ial report on the state canals. The re-
port OF the majority will be an exhaus-
tive one, which will be valuable con-
tribution to the irrigation literature of
the state. Senator Swink has given this
matter much time and pains-taking lab
or, and he will be found heavily loaded
with important facts whenever Legislation
relative to reservoirs and canals is under
consideration.

propo,ed Creamery Annex.

Rocky Ford was this week visited by l.. W.
Babcock, superintendent of tho Sunflower
Valley creamery. Hoehne. Colo. Near Trini-
dad. That splendidly equipped creamery
finds that the adjacent country does not fur
nish nearly as much milk AS required to make
the quantity of butter which is demanded of
Mr.. Babcock, and he is looking about for ad-
ditional supplies of cream, The proposition
is to establish skim house here and ship the
cream to Hoehne.
All Of the machinery needed for such an en-
terprise can be used in q full-grown home
creamery when we feel able to build one at
Rocky Ford. The cost of tho plant will be
about $1,000. If this is furnished Mr.. Babcock
will run it at his own expense and give the
farmers the same for cream hero that he does
ut Hoehne. Much interest is manifested in
the project and u meeting to forward the
scheme was held last evening ut Squire Rob-
in's office, c, w. Fenlason being chairman and
d. W. Barkley secretary, Mr.. Babcock fully
explained the plan and the following commit
tee appointed to take charge Of further efforts
in the direction of securing tho desired Pant:

Tribue speaks OF the award us follows:
ut really don't look as though tho law
regarding county printing to the "lowest

served, as the evident desire to place the

- The now state house is not receiving
pnmixed compliments. While thing OF
massive beauty its interior arrangement
lacks in adaptability to the purposes for
which it was built. Both the senate
chamber and the representative hall are
too small and must be entered by sort
of back alley detour. Had there been
fewer imposing pillars and larger rooms
for the Legislative meetings tho building
would have been far better.

We congratulate Catiin on her new.
" acquired honors, a weekly newspaper.
We have before us No. 1, of volume /, OF
the Colorado Fruit Grower, a neat, six
column folio newspaper, edited by r. o.
McClain and W. r. Gibson. The new
paper is full Of local news and cannot but
impress the people wherever it goes with
the agricultural and horticultural impor-
tance Of that portion OF the Arkansas val.
ley. Prominent among the advertise
ments in the Fruit Grower is that of the
Colorado Orchard Co., whose headquar-
ters are IN Denver. This company will
plat large body Of land near Caslin
into ten-acre tracts which will be planted
in fruit and sold on easy terms. These
tracts will be cared for by the company
for non-residents at reasonable price.
The Denver office will work for the 10.
cation of II colony on the fruit lands at
Catlin, to be known as the Rocky Ford
colony. It looks as il this new movement
would attract large numbers of fruit
growers to tho Arkansas valley.
