That Court House SpoOk.

In O recent issue of the Enterprise we
suggested that La Junta's city park was
too far cast for court house site. The
Times comments on our article as fol-
lows:
"The objection OF the Enterprise is
couched III Editor Barkley's usual cour-
teous and conservative language, but it
is pregnant with Significance; saying, in
effect, as it does, that when the county
commissioners take action on the city
councils proposal, they will hear rom
from the denizens of the pumpkin belt.
La Junta,' says our contemporary, lis
about twelve miles east of the center of
the county which fact units it for such
a purpose We are also reminded that
the county is growing and the center of
population, like the star of Empire, is
gradually westward drifting, as n conse-
quence of which Il court house could not
be built in the park without the iniliction
OF irreparable injury on the supersensi-
tive melon rollers"
The Times states the situation very
fairly in the closing paragraph except
In this: The irreparable injury will not
be inflicted on the 'supersensitive melon
rollers" of the pumpkin belt" so much
as on the majority of the people OF the
county. Nc unprsjudiced man can study
the future of the county without coming
to the sure conclusion that the deyelop.
ment of the country is bound to make
Rocky Ford the center of population.
This cannot be disputed. That the coun.
ty seat can permanently remain 12 mileg
east Of this center OF population is an
impossibility.
The Times also says:
The junction here OF the great srter-
les of the Santa Fo make it accessible
from all directions, thus rendering e mt.
ural!y most advantageous location for
G. county seat."
That sounds like blow straight from
the shoulder but an examination will
show that it has no force. The people
living east Of the county seat who use
the Santa Fe to go to La Junta can be
counted on tie fingers Of one hand. The
main line to the south runs through !.
country devoted wholly to cattle ranges
and which ia most thinIy populated.
The people Of the county WHO use the
Santa Fc 10 ec5 10 tho county seat either
live at Rocky Ford or ride through
Rocs:y Ford to get to La Junta. Brelh- |
'rln, think On these things.

How 1t Was Done.

Some weeks since, the Enterprise pub
!ishcd an account Of rapid fattenins or
beef done by Albert Connor. The report
was that he had put flesh on COW ct the
rate OF ten pounds day for two woeks.
The Fort Collins Express intimated that
Mr.. Connor's method OF feeding would
mako mighty interestin' rcadin' for the
cattle feeders of Larimer county. Here's
the way it was done: The COW was gain
ing fast when taken off the pasture, She
was fed corn night and morning, the ears
being ont in pieces about IN inch long.
Sugar beets were fed ut noon. Plenty
OF third cutting hay was provided, and
the animal was not required to drink icy
ditch wpter, but was given water from
the cistern. She was weighed on I. H.
Orcutt's scales both before being fed and
afserward, and the gain for two weeks
was l40 pounds. The COW was butch
cred by Chauncey Shelton for Christmas

ArtichOkes for Uops.

j. $. Wilson Of Grand Valley left with
us last week samples of his crop OF ar,i-
chokes. Last spring he planted three
pounds of seed and has just harvested
ten bushels of tubers. He will pezt
sprIng plant three acres for the use of
his hogs. The art1cbokes will not be
dug, but the hogs turned into the field.
Their roofing tendencies will prompt
them to harvest the crop as rapidly as
needed and they will not cat SO closely
but that the field will be well seeded for
another year. Mr.. Wilson'S cron tbia
year was at the rate of 800 bushels nar
acre and he estimates that the prodnct
OF acres will be Of very great value ia
fattening his large herd of hogs.
EXPERIMENTS haYe proven that erfi-
chokeg are not only most excellent for
promoting tho growth Of hogs, but con.
duce to the health Of the swine and prA-
vent attacks Of cbolern. A portion az
tue three acrc5 which Mr.. Wilson will
plant next spring will be alkali grguDd,
which experiment will be valuable To-
other farmers who have alkalI qpota and
who wish TO try growing articboErF.

California Is taking the initiative in
new political move. 1t is an extension
of the protection idea 30 as to make it Of
direct practical benefit to the ngricul-
tural classes. a bill has been introduced
in congress, H B. No. 262G, which pro-
vlde5 for export duties on agricultural
products as follows: Ten cents per
brshel on wheat; fifty cents barrel on
wheat aour; ten cents q bushel on rye;
fifty cents a barrel on rye flour; five
cents bushel on corn; seven cents per
Genital on corn ground; one cent per
pound on cotton; two cents per ponnd on
hops; two cents per pound on tobacco.
This proposed export bounty on agricul-
turGl staples Will be direct protection in
the home market for the producers OF
agricultural staples against foreign
competitors, and will operate for the
producers in our country precisely the
same Us tariff on imports does for the
protection of the homo market of manu-.
fOctures. A bounty on the exports of ag-
ncuitura! staples must give the Ameri.
can producer of these products the
worlds price, and in addition the export
bounty, not alone on the quantity export.
ed, but on the greater quantity sold fol
home use as well. Protection being O
good thing for the manufacturers, why
not give the farmers the benefit thereof

M. Badger, Carey Badger, and sev-
eral La Junta men have some very fine
land north OF the river which will be un-
der the HoIbrook when that shall have
been extended beyond Horse creek. But
they do not propose to wait for this ex-
tension. They are planning to utilize
tho rnderAow OF Horse creek which they
are confident exists in sufficient quantity
TO irrigate 5000 acres. This scheme,
when carried out, will edd very fine

valley. It is part OF Mr.. Badger's plans
to set out an s0-ncre orchard on his land

The law has always been that rca!
estate should be assessed at it's actual
cash value. But it has been tho prao-
tice OF assessors throughout the state to
assess property ut one-fourth to ono
third it's real value. Attorney General
Carr has Just rendered IN opinion that
it is the duty OF assessors to return the
full cash value and if they fail to do 60
they are guilty Of perjury. II this opin-
ion is obeyod ns authority the wealth Of
the state will have a sudden and tremen-
duous upward bound. II every assessor
would return the actual cash value of all
property no hardship would be inflicted
but the rates OF lexy could be lowered to
an apparently attractive figure.

Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Mimi, Oct. 13-A tale Of
tragic death is today received from
Arcadia. The story, in short is as
follows: Last evening about o'clock
the little twelve-year-oId daughter of
Denton Tucker was carrying lamp
through the house. For some reason,
perhaps the swishing Of the oil through
the feed, the lamp exploded. The lamp
was shattered into many pieces, and
the burning oil thrown all over the
dress of the child. She was quickly en-
-veleped in a sheet of flame She be-.
came frightened and completely lost
her head. She rushed frantically out
into the yard of the residence, suffering
intense agony. Her rapid movements
in the open air only added to the fierce
ness of the fatal flames, and her whole
body was terribly burned Her clothes
were completely burned off before she
could be given aid.
She was finally secured, more dead
than alive and tenderly carried into
the house The best of aid was given
by physician, as soon as one could be
summoned, but it was evident from
the first that the child had but a
short time to live. Her sufferings were
most intense and heartrending. At
about 2 o'clock this morning death re-
.lieved her terrible pain.

The dead boy was a superb speci-

his men last Saturday because they
e.nnounced their intention to vote for

action, and today, over his own sigma

former several positions without preju-
dice as regards the future, and without
loss of salary since they left my en-

that every man when !. he carefully
