JUST ONE MINUTE PLEASE.
A Talk With Subscribers Who Haye
Not Paid'in Advance.

Your subscription is in arrears from
the date shown on the pink address slip
Ever since that date we have been pay
ing out cash every week for paper, ink
and labor that You might receive the pa
per regularly and promptly. The Enter
prise pays particular attention to home
news; it prints nothing unclean, not even
an advertisement that is an insult to the
home circle. It's aim is to furnish the
local news and help advance tho best
interests OF the Rocky Ford country.
We are thankful for the appreciation
shown by the steady growth of our sub
scription list, but have word to those
who have not for one, two or more years
contributed one cent toward paying the
expenses OF getting out the paper. This
is not a fair deal. During the past few
months We have not urged the payment
OF subscriptions, but now that harvest is
over We must insist on money. 1t is
necessary that We make a nearer ap-
proach to cash basis. The amounts
due the Office are small and by Il little
effort can be met. We do not want to
mark off a single name for failure to pay
arrearages, but such a course may be
necessary. We hope that this fair state
ment OF tho situation will cause our sub
scribers to see that the dates on their ad-
dress slips are advanced to some time in
the future.

A Pueblo friend remarked to US the
other day that the Otero county exhibit
at the late Pueblo fair opened the eyes OF
hundreds Of visitors. Our great variety
OF agricultural products there, all of su-
perior quality, proved that the Arkansas
valley possessed resources not dreamed
OF by many attendants at the fair. It
ought to be the fixed policy of our peo-
pie and County Commissioners to take
advantage of all such opportunities to
make showing OF what otero county
can do and is doing. A mistake Wa
made in not having an Otero county float
at the Denver carnival, which gave ad-
vantases Tor advertising agricultural re-
sources rarely Offered. But we'll do bet
ter next year.

1t is rumored that Missouri Pacific
engineer has recently been through this
section looking up a route for n branch
of that road through this portion Of the
valley. The proposed line is supposed
to start at the state line, and after pass
ing through the Holbrook country, cross
the river between La Junta and Rocky
Ford. The line would then run up the
river and Join the main line near Nepes-
Ia. We cannot vouch for the truth of
this rumor, but the probabilities are that

On Saturday a mob attempted to
lynch prisoner at Tifiin, Ohio. The
Sheriff repelled the rioters after two of
them had been killed. This action Of the
sheriff and Gov. McKinley's ordering out

sheriff is justified in using the severest
means at his command to prevent the

The election last Thursday on the
question of issuing bonds for drilling a

many votes as the importance Of the is
sue demanded. The vote was as follows:
For issuing 5000 in bonds SO, against

sale Of the canal stock can he effected so
that it will be necessary to issue only a

Indian Dance and Foot Races nj
Denver.

Indian Dance and Foot Races nj
Denver.
The great attraction on the last day
OF the Denver Festival OF Mountain and
Plain was the Indian village. The tepes
of the Utes and Pueblos in the city
park were constantly surrounded by a
curious throng, many of whom had never
seen a live red man. The Indians kept
IN their tents quite closely, seeming to
avoid publicity. But in the afternoon
an excellent opportunity was offered
thousands to see them in all the glory of
holiday paint. The large racing track in
the park is about SO feet wide and has a
steep slope toward the center which
makes it an immense ampitheatre. The
entire circumference of the track was
filled with sight-seers, the inner space
being devoted to the militia drills and
the Indian dance and races, which were
in progress at the same time. The war
riors came from their tepes as gaudy as
paint could make them. No clothing
was worn except a breech clout about
the size Of napkin to which was at
tached strip Of red flannel, after the
bodies were smeared with paint of all
colors and used in a startlingly original
way. One half OF the body and one leg
would be painted green and the other
side red. Or half Of one leg would be
yellow and another portion green. This
aboriginal style OF decoration was visible
in a great variety OF combinations. The
dancers divided themselves into two
groups each carrying long pole flying
wolf skins and other barbaric flag-like
ornaments The two parties separated
several hundred yards and danced to.

ing being an accompaniment. The raw
air which was blowing oughl to have in.
duced q ivelier step, but that would
doubtless have violated the traditions oi
the tribes. But when the foot races sue
ceeded the dance the warming-up process
began. Two long poles carrying the
banners were placed at considerable dis.
tance apart and the racing took place be-
tween them. Two Indians would start
and do their best and by the time they
arrived at the goal two others would
start for the opposite pole. Soon the
races became more numerous and the en-
tire length of the course was filed with
running Indians. The sight was a novel
one. The rapid motion OF the red, white
green and yellow legs, intermingled with
the green, red and yellow bodies, addi
tional color being added to the brilliant
kaleidoscope by the vigorous futterine
of the flannel streamers and the waving
of the feathered headgear. There waf
no attempt at an even start and no judg'
es to report victory, the racing seem
i ing to bp for the sake OF running. While
these exercises were in progress the mill.
tia were drilling in the same ring and
several bands playing, making the after
noon at the park lively and interesting
one.

John Hipp, one of Denver's leading
lawyers and an earnest worker in the
Baptist church, was with us Saturday
evening and Sunday. He lectured at the
NJ. Z. church Saturday evening and filed
the Baptist pulpit Sunday morning and
evening. On all these occasions he pre-
sented the claims OF the cause Of prohi-
bition in it's various phases. Sunday
evening he addressed union meeting OF
the churches, and Odd Fellows Hall was
crowded to its fullest capacity. Not only
were all the seats taken but some of the
audience stood during the entire address.
Mr.. Hipp is a hard hitter. He feels
deeply the unsurpassed evil Of the liquor
traffic and does not mince words in hand
ling it. His platform is similar to that
of Sam Jones: He is against everything
that is for whiskey and for everything.
that is agsinst whiskey. Sunday even
ing he iuuetrated the effect of alcohol on
the human brain by chemical expert
men. showing how alcohol cooked albu-
men of which the brain Is largely COM
posed. A portion of his large audience
doubtless voted his views extreme. but

Prominent among the many beauti-
full floats in the parade on the first day
of the Denver carnival was that of the
Colorado Orchard Co. A large variety
of the products of the valley were taste
fully displayed in the form of an elong-
ated pyramid, in the midst of which was
seen the word "Manzanola" made of big
red apples. Other lettering on the float
read as follows: ..In the great Arkansas
valley" and Home of the big red apple" !"
To w. E. Alexander of the Colorado Or
chard Co. is due the credit of this pre-
sentation OF the agricultural attractions
OF the valley. He is rustler from Way
back. He designed another handsome
float which would have been most effect
i've in advertising the specially which
has made the Rocky Ford country fam
GUS. The design shows almost the en-
tiro float occupied by an immense water
melon. One end is partially cut away in
an irregular manner and in the opening
are seated four colored boys Industrious
ly devouring great slices of their favor
ite fruit. This, with big red apple,
constituted striking display. Unfor-
tunately he did not receive that encour-
agement from our County Commission
ers and others that the project deserved,
and the float got no further than the
stage of plans and specifications.
