] Key West, Fla, April 27.-Still another
prize steamed into the harbor this morn
ing. She was the Ambrosio Bolivar, a
little Cuban coastin2 steamer, taken by
the monitor Terror last night off Car

But the juvenile Spaniard is richer than
she looks as was learned when s70,0 600

where she arrived this afternoon.
The monitor Terror on Sunday took .

had not been sighted.
No alarm is felt. however. as all the
Spaniards but the Captain were taken off

These vessels, he contends, were caL-

at La Junta last Thursday, March II,
and in behalf of all the above associ,
ations closed contract with the
Western Poultry aud Game Co, of
st. Louis, Mo, (which was represent
ed by Nat Wetzel president, and j.
ID. Whitley, secretary,) for three hun
dred car loads consisting of 400
crates to the carl of No. l quality
Melted Gem eantaloupes of the season
of 1898. On exactly the same terms
and under exactly the same condi-
tions as contract for 300 cars which
was entered into last November be-
tween the Western Poultry and Game
Co. and the Rocky Ford Melon Grow
ers' Association. The terms of that
contract, in substance, are as follows:
The cantaloupes to be Grated, prop
erly inspected by both parties and
delivered +. .. b. cars at orr ship
ping stations at 81 cents per crate
and to be paid for when each car is
shipped. The proportion to be sup
piled by the Lamar association of the
above 300 cars that were contracted
for last Thursday is 3S cars.
1t should be source of qualification
to all producers in these new district
to have been able to secure as good a
contract as the Rocky Ford associa-
tion which is acknowledged by all,
as the father of this important indus,
try. and to have secured this contract
with the Western Poultry and Game
Co., which by its bold and aggressive
policy last year established the Col
orado cantaloupes in all the great
conters of trade in the east and sold
for the Rocky Ford association last
year four times as many cars as they
originally contracted for.

1t will be seen by the above article
that melon crop for this season is all
sold. The market is secured, and
the success of this profitable industry
will now rest entirely with the far
mers. The melons from each asso
ciat;on will be labeled with the name
of that association, and it will neces-
sary for the members by careful
preparation and cultivation 20 keep
their melons up to the highest stand
ard If they expect to continue in the
future to get the highest market value.
II there is Il surplus above what has
been contracted for there will be a
market for all of it IN all probability.
But if there should not be the amount
of the excess shipments which can be
handled will be pro rated among the
various associations. A grand op-
portunity is offered our farmers 10
obtaining the first year what the old
err melon growers worked ten years to
obtain, and they should labor to Ie-
tain this advantage.
