ORDWAY.

It seems that l was mistaken
last week about the ball play. 1t
was Manzanola not Olney that was
over to play the Ordway boys.
The Ordway boys went over to
Olney to play last Sunday and got
beaten. 1t may teach them to
stay at home on Sundays.
We have just had fine run of

Advertise the Valley.

The business Mems Association
of Pueblo are arranging for ex-
tensively advertising their city
and the Arkansas valley. They
have published a booklet showing
the advantages, resources and
possibilities Of Colorado, and more
especially Pueblo and the Arkan-
sas valley. The committee have
taken broad view of this matter,
and have endeavored to present
the Arkansas valley, especially its
agricultural snd horticultural in
terests, as prominently as possible
believing that whatever develop
ment comes to any portion of this
valley within the borders of the
state will be directly beneficial to
Pueblo. The committee will fur
nish this booklet free to all bust.

Pueblo but throughout the Arkan-
sas valley, who will be willing to
place copy in their envelopes adj

dents and friends. It is brief
enough that its weight will not re-
quire additional postage to an or
dinary letter.
While the Business Mems As
sociation was organized for the
purpose of forwarding the inter
ests OF Pueblo more especially,
they have from the beginning ta-
ken the view that Pueblo's inter.
ests could be taken care of more
effectually by the development Of
this valley than through any 9th,

A supply of these booklets will
be found at the Enterprise office

about a week ago and arrived
there in safety having a pleasant
time. We landed in bay on the
southern coast on Sunday. Saw
no signs of the Spaniards then, SO
that evening our ship was ordered
to Santiago to see if the enemy
was there. It took us two days
to make the run. Saw one Eng
lish vessel Monday and on Tues
spoke to the Hartford, one Of our
vessels and also a tug flying the
N. Y. Suns flag. Tuesday night
saw three of the Spanish men-of-
war off starboard bar and acciden-
tally some one turned on the
search light and the enemy's ves-
sci took flight. We were trying
to get out Of the way and SO were
they. I suppose this is what
saved us. We arrived there safe
Wednesday evening. On the re-
turn trip there came up a blow;
Our vessel was getting light, coal
getting low, and our vessel cooked
and pitched terribly. When it
would rock the water would come
in over the bannisters and sweep
the deck. The only way you
could walk was by holding to the
railing and wait until your side
was the highest.
The coal in the bunkers caught
fire and it took us three days to
put it out. Two of our boilers
have the tubes little out of
shape and one bursted. We are
now coaling and getting ready
for another voysge.
