silvcrites Want Only Fair Play.


All we want, saws the Denver Republi-
can, is to have silver restored to its an
cient coinage rights on terms OF equality
with gold, and when thnt is done, we arc
certain that the parity of the two forms
OF coin will remain undisturbed, al
though neither will bc or ever has been
redeemable in anything else.
II is the right Of free mintage that
makes the bullion value of gold exactly
equal 10 its coinage price. and, as like
causes produce like effects, free coinage
would make the bullion value Of silver
exactly equal to its coinage price in this
country.

take il TO the mint and have it turned in
to money at the rate Of 81 for every %. .

THE COURT HOUSE QUESTION.
Tho Proposition to Bond tho County
Should he Defeated.

To the Editor of ths Enterprise.
The board Of county commissioners Mt
their last meeting agreed to submit to
the people Of Otero county the question
of bonding ff,e county for the purpose Of
building court house. 1t is admitted
that Otero county is ip prosperous con-
dition, and that in the face Of the adverse
general conditions Of the country the
county will this year make many strides
on the road to prosperity. Yet, it is
serious question whether the time has
come for the bonding OF our county and
increasing our rate Of taxation.
Investors and settlers in a new county
always consider among the first questions
that Of taxation, and when taxes are very
high many refuse to invest their money
for this reason alone when other condi'
tions are favorable.
Another question arises; What kind
of court house do the people OF Otero
county wantp Certainly 1t should be a
building that would be q credit to the
county and ample to afford accomoda.
tiop to all county officers and court
rooms. Such building would cost not
less than $4,000 and when completed @
and furnished probably exceed t5O,OO.
No one is 80 verdant as tO believe for q
minute that the parties pushing the pres.
emit court house movement intend, or ev.
or intended, stopping with structure
costing not more than $4,000. Such
building would be the rankest extrava.
Rance for the reason that in only short
time it would have to be replaced BY
something equal to the needs OF the
county. To vote bonds at this time
would be only to start n movement thnt
would result in change of plans and ex'
pense from time TO time until the movers
in the present scheme would secure what
they ultimately expect, viz. q 85O,0W
court house.
Certainly this is not year for voting
bonds and increasing the burdens OF oul
new settlers and preventing other con
sentative people from settling in oul
county. A $4,000 court house wouic
not be credit to our county and IN Avs
years the people would be ashamed Of 1t
Why not handle this business as con
servative business man handles his OWE
business? We are not in condition thil
year to vote bonds in any amount. And
when We do build a court house let it b<
q respectable building. To say thai
rent costs more than interest is no argu'
ment, even il only $4,000 is expended
We must pay the sl5, 600 as well and fol
something we don't want. II the people
Of La Junta can not mako rents satisfac'
tory and reasonable the people can bring
the county seat to Rocky Ford and have
rent furnished free. But it is not the in
tention 70 raise any question Of county
seat. This proposition would be taken
just the same il the county seat was now
located in Rocky Ford. Taxpayers con
slider this question carefully.
JUDIcIous EoONONY.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1896-10-08

in q drive the other afternoon we
gathered the following items: Alex Best
Of Grand valley has what every farmer
should have-a finely shaded yard about
his home-Mr. Best was out on the
general round mp now in progress in
which most Of our stock men are taking
part. After the round up many OF the
smaller punches OF cattle will be brought
on the range near home and later the
feeding Of alfalfa will begln.-Paul
Gervais has the stone on the ground for
the foundation of good brick dwelling.
"A successful Sunday School is being
conducted at the Best school house every
Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Geo. Egbert,
superintendent H. Lowe has some
of the finest corn in the valley, and he
says that alfalfa sod is largely RESPONSE
ble for it.-We looted about the last
pench on Mr.. loves trees. He has
marketed large quantity Of peaches
this season. Strange to say, the late
frosts that killed large proportion Of
his apples did not hurt the peaches.--
j. @ Fox is setting good example by
trimming up the trees which border his
farm and cutting all weeds on his side Of

Horticultural Society Meeting.

Horticultural Society Meeting.
A regular meeting Of the Otero Coun-
ty horticultural Society was held Satur-
day last. The attendance was fair and
the meeting very interesting one. Prof.
Blum talked on Fall Precautions for the
Destruction Of Insects and read the fol-
lowing letter from Prof. q. p. Gillette Of
the department Of zoology and entomol-
ogy in the State Agricultural College:
"In regard to what can be done in the
fall to destroy insects, will mention the
following:
Grasshopper eggs, which are laid close
to the surface OF the ground In elevated
positions, as along ditch banks and about
the borders of the fields, may be des-
troyed in large numbers, il abundant, by
narrowing the surface of the ground to
turn the eggs out for the action OF the
frosts and rain and for the birds to feed
upon. Late fall plowing will also do
much to destroy cutworms where they
are abundant. The later the plowing Is
done the better for this purpose. Cellars
should have the windows and doors pro-
teoted by screens il apples are kept in
them to prevent the escape Of coddling
moths in the spring. II bandaees have
been put upon the trees to catch the
worms, they should all be removed aud
the worms killed. II the woody sphis
has been bad upon any Of the trees in the
orchard, an application Of kerosene emul-
sion or tobacco tea should be made to
the crown Of the tree before very cold
weather comes on to kill the lice that
have collected about the roots. II plant
lice or scale lice have been on the trees
during the summer, it will be more easy
to treat the tree for their destruction in
the fall or winter while tho leaves are off.
It ID always q good plan, during the fall
or winter, to clean the premises, as thor
oughly as possible Of all rubbish that
can give protection or shelter to insects
that hibernate in such places over win
ter.
A general discussion followed.
Winter Protection Of Small Fruits was
introduced by M. Badger, followed by a
general discussion.
M. Badger made talk on the impor-
tance Of holding farmers institute dur
ing the coming winter and he was ap-
pointed committee OF one to make pro-
liminary arrangements and submit to the
next meeting OF the society.
The next session will be held Saturday,
Nov. z, and the program will be as fol-
lows: Winter Irrigation and Cultivation
Of the Orchard, by z. Robb. Packing
and Handling Fruit, by X. L. Mumford.
Care Of Nursery Stock Received in the

The Fusion Ticket.

Tho fusion Legislative ticket is one of
superior merit. Tho Silver Republicans
and Populists did most wisely when they
combined on Senator Swink and Hon. ].
n. Crowley.
Senator Swink deserves TO be reelected
by acclamstiop. During his four years
in the senate he proved himself to be the
most able man that the Arkansas valley
has had in the upper house. While feel
ing that the promotion Of the interests Of
his constituents was his first duty, he did
not allow any narrow feeling to prevent
him recognising his obligations to the
people Of the whole state. He was, in
fact, one OF the wheel-horsee Of legisla-
tion-one of tho hard workers, both on
the floor and in the commitres rooms.
While making no pretention to oratory,
he was always able to present his side OF
any measure with clearnass and force.
His eminent fairness, practical common
sense and good Judgment made him Q
Legislative force that was acknowledged
by all. A failure to return Senator
swink to tho Legislature would be a Gu
lnmity for the valley.
In Hon. J. H. Crowley Senator Swink
will have worthy colleague. Mr.. Crow
Icy served his first term in the lover
house about four years ago and made an
enviable record as an earnest, able and
laborious legislator. Few members Of
the house gave as much time and
thought to their duties as did Mr.. Crow
ley. Being on q number Of important
committees he did valuable service. In
this most important feature OF Legislative
work he found that the heavy duties Of
maturing legislation fell on the shoulders
Of the few, and he was always in the
front rank OF the hard workers. From
the opening to the close OF the session he
was q close student Of Legislative prob
lens that he might discharge his duties
for the benefit Of his constituents and the
state, and with honor to himself. MIR.
Crowley was universally recognised a.
ono Of the most valuable members Of the
general assembly. With Swink in ths
senate and Crowley IN the house this
district will have q strong . Representa-
ton as any district in the state.
The fusion nominee for commissioner

becn nominated. F. NJ. Weiland 10 one
