1t was expected that the town ooun-
Gil would hold meeting Monday even
ing last and grant the concession asked
BY Mr.. Babcock for the creamery annex.
But the absence from town Of several
members Of the council prevented meet
ing. However, there is no question bat
that the very reasonable requests Of Mr.,
Babcock will be granted aud that Rocky
Ford will soon be in the enjoyment of the
benefits Of creamery. J. 81. Helms,
one of our new citizens, formerly Of Lit
Teton, has most encouraging words in re-
gard to the value of q creamery TO the
farmers. When the creamery was first
started at Littleton it was questionable il
milk enough would be furnished to keep
it running. The farmers who furnished
the milk for the first operation of the
creamery found it profitable. They in
creased the number OF their cows.
Neighboring farmers were not slow in
grasping the situation and soon the ca
pacity OF the creamery was overtaxed.
A skimming station was established a
few miles distance, but soon the patron
age increased so as to make q second
skimming station necessity. Mr.. Bah
cock says that it is his intention to make
the creamery such source of profit TO
our farmers that the supply Of milk can
not but steadily increase. We hope next
week to be able to report that the arran-
gements for the creamery have been fully
perfected.

State Agricultural College Report.

President Aston Ellis, Of the State
Agricultural College, has our thanks for
. copy Of the seventh annual report of
the Experiment Station at Fl. Collins
and the four sub-stations throughout the
state. The report is q very comprehens-
i've showing Of the valuable work being
done by the Agricultural College and the
Experiment stations. The report is en-
riched by two handsome half-tone illus
trations of the Rocky Ford Station. We
shall, in an early issue, give a synopsis
Of the report made by F. A. Huntley,
superintendent of the Experiment Sta.
ton at Rocky Ford. President Ellis
thus speaks of the work Of the Arkansas
Valley Station:
"Many experiments which should prove
Of particular value TO the farmers OF the
state have been conducted the past sea-
son at the Arkansas Valley Station. The
growing Of two hundred bushels per acre
Of potatoes ON alfalfa stubble, or three
hundred with manure, should be of more
value to farmers living in the southern
portion Of the state (where it was thought
this vegetable could mot be profitably
raised) than the entire cost Of the station
up to the present time. And this il but
one OF the successful experimental"

duoe to the value Of $2,719.34 . larger

The death Of Chas. Donovan Of La
Junta, from an epileptic fit, while on tri-
al for criminal assault on young girl,
was referred to last week. One Of the
La Junta papers intiIuates that Donovan
was innocent and tries to throw the
blame Of his death on Mrs. Closson, the
mother Of the girl, suggesting that the
arrest was the cause of his death.
Granted that Mr.. Donovan was q kind
hearted man and when sober would not
have committed such an act, yet the evi-
denoe is against him. The word Of a
pure young girl is far more reliable than
that Of man who had been crazy drunk
for two weeks. Fairly stated, it was not
Donovan's real self that committed the
crime, but tho whiskey that he drank.
The attempt Of La Junta papers to throw
the blame Of his death on Mrs. Closson
instead Of on the saloon keepers who fur
nished him liquor is q cruel injustice to
a greatly wronged family.

"A fair sized audience greeted Rev.

day night. Mammoth Cave" was the
subject Of the lecture. The subject is
one we'll calculated 70 display descrip-
tive powers and Rev. Iliff made the even
ing very interesting one. He is spec
tally gifted in word painting and touched
up the cave and many collateral topics in
good style. But tie lecture had this
drawback: About Is per cent Of the
Speakers words were utterly lost 10 the
audience by reason Of indistinct enuncia-
tion and too rapid utterance. The ear
and attention were constantly strained TO
catch the meaning, which detracted
largely from the enjoyment Of the even
ing. The lecture would be vastly i'm
proved by the elimination of portion of
the oratorical flights and the substitution
Of conversational style. It would prob
ably take the editor Of the Enterprise q
years to write and deliver q lecture as
good as that Of Rev. lifts, but il we NOR
tails only criticised those things which
were inferior to our own performances,

Tho attorneys and officers of the dis
triot court have petitioned the county
commissioners to build q new court
house at La Junta. The county has
lately gone to great expense In providing
vaults for the county records, which are
safely cared for, and the officers all have
comfortable quarters. This being the
case the suggestion Of an expenditure for
economy should not be considered by the
commissioners. Now is no time for en-
larged expenditures, but, on the contra
~, the utmost economy should be prac-
ticed. Taxes are high enough now with
out the addition Of q considerable per
centage which would be necessary to
build even a small court house. The
project should be laid on the table.

on the bill introduced by Representative
Randall for leasing state lands for term
Of fifty years. The bill is still in the
hands hands Of the printing COMMITTEES, and we
that it provides for cancelling leases on
application of any settler to purchase the
land. This would remove the objection
to the long term Of the lease, and work
for the benefit of Otero county materially.
The sooner the state land within our
limits is sold and thus made subject to
assessment for school and county pur-
poses, the better for the tax payers.

fore the legislature which promises to
remedy many Of the evils now endured.
The purpose Of the bill is to do away
with the city council and provides for q
board of three commissioners instead,
two to be elected and one to be appoint
ed by the governor. The bill is being
opposed BY the low-caste politicians,
which, in addition to its intrinsic merit,
is a good reason why the Legislature
should grant the new charter.

The extensive crops of all kinds Of
all kinds Of fruit which were raised near
Rocky Ford last season has stimulated
the planting Of orchards to q remarkable
extent. Such . successful year as 1894,
following series ofprofitable fruit crops,
has strongly impressed both our old and
new citizens with the value OF our fruit
lands. The result is that the spring OF
1895 will show tree planting to an extent
which will equal the combined planting
OF several previous years. It has been
established beyond controversy that the
Rocky Ford country il par excellence the
fruit region of Colorado, and the low
prices at which our lands are now selling
promises to promote a phenomenal
growth Of this industry within . few
years.
