The readers OF Our excellent cOntln.

week but in this issue they get a double
portion.
Three columns Of late election news
will be found on the auxiliary side Of

The fire insurance companies in 1896
took ont OF Denver S2579,3I4 and paid
in losses only $751; ,39l. Denver's busi-
ness men should do some lively kicking
or organize n few home mutual COM
panies. They are being bled most un-
mercifully.
In some circles in Denver n new term
has been invented to designate the army
OF visitors from the east who como for
the cure OF pulmonary troubles, Such
persons are said to belong to the b. l.. b.,
which being interpreted is Busted Lung
Brigade. As cheerfulness il an element
OF curative valne such light treatment of
n serious matter may be beneficial rather
than otherwise,
%. II. Mcvny had arranged to go to
Perceville. KS, to drill an artesian well
| for the Santa Fe, but the shortage OF
water in the La Junta wells has changed
the plans Of the road and he will doubt
less begin work on a new well there soon.
Mr.. McVay has contract with the
Santa Fe for seven wells, and will pur.
chuse a second outfit that the work may
be rushed.
One J. M. Mcdonald, who has evi.
IDENTIFY lived at Colorado Springs, seems
to be making deadbeating tour east
ward. He worked us Rocky Ford people
in small way, and when next heard OF
was at Holly. He claims to have been II
lawyer and also connected with news
papers. He is very smooth and, like a
good counterfeit. "well calculated! to de-
ceive."

Corps spread a splendid dinner on elec-

Everybody interested doubtless
knows that next Saturday is tho date OF
the regular annual meeting Of the Melon
growers association, ut Odd Fellows
hall, nine o'clock n. m. This is not
written SO much to give notice Of the
time and place rs to suggest that every
body go there in the spirit Of fairness
and in rs good humor as the nature OF
the case will permit. While the members
of the association have received double
the amount OF money handled last year
the ssason has nevertheless been losing
one to many. The maiii cause OF the
disappointment and loss was the unfav-
orable season, which rendered the canta-
loupes unfit for shipment for.long dis
tances. On top OF this came the unavoid-
able accumulation OF crates, to pay for
which took almost half OF the money on
hand at tho close of the shipping season.
The recent informal meeting of the mel
ongrowers did much to clear the situa-
tion and it is hoped that tho annual
meeting will go far toward reconciling
nil differences. Take no floating rumors
for facts and give no attention to accu-
satons unless proof is afforded. Those
who would severely criticize the man.
agement should remember that the busi-
ness is comparatively new, its routine
work very complicated, and that great
difficulties were placed in their way by
the inferior character of much of the
crop 1t is also well to remember that
after season is over it is much easier to
say how things should have been done
than to have planned the work in ad-
vance.

is expected to shoulder large amount Of
responsibility. II the affairs OF the

tho local paper is deemed just the insti-

Jumping OF the burden on one man.
Very frequently country editors are
called on to call attention to matters
which need regulating, but very rarely,

sion OF the local newspaper is partly
right and partly wrong. The home

The Times. Republican OF last week
contained a roast for the Enterprise
which bears the earmarks OF being con.
tributed by SOME fellow with more
malice than good Judgment. Here is one
item:
"He fthe editor Of the Enterprise]
claims to be n Republican, though he in
formed the city clerk at an election prior
to the Inst one that he was Democrat
in order to get the city ballots. Crhe law
requires that the ballots shnll not be
published in two papers representing the
same partyJ'

he would have selected some line OF at
tack in which falsity was not 30 oonspicu-
ousas in the nbove statement. During the
past five years, since our residence in
Rocky Ford, neither Democratic nor Re-
publican parties have Ind tickets in the
field. The issues have always been op
the saloon question or some feature Of
municipal government. The parties were
Home Protection, Citizens. Taxpayers,
etc. A newspaper being Democratic or
Republican had nothing whatever to do
with the awarding Of the publication Of
the list Of nominations. In municipal
elections the Enterprise hns always repre-
sented principles different from those
supported by the Republican-n fact in
which we have just reason to take great
pride.

PANAMA CANAL.

The Panama canal could be built
for twice the war appropriation which
has just been made, says the Phila-
delphia Press, and with the Panama
canal in American hands the same ma
val force would be available for the
defense of the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. AS matters now are it takes
two months to move battleship from
one side of the country to the other,
and, while this is true, to defend the
both coasts properly twice as many
are needed. Dig the canal as a nation
al defense. 1t is cheaper than forts
and ships.

Genuine Heroism.

She is only a gray-eyed, gray-halrea
woman, with a quiver in her voice ana
a smile on her face. Somewhere on

besides her husbands grave are two

My dear" she said, gently, Il can
not afford the luxury of grief. l must

Everything has been taken from me

And the remembrance Of that gray
head bent over the jokes she was try

simple way to laugh at, because she
must be brave, because grief was a
luxury too selfish to indulge in, gives
heroism its new meaning. Yesterday
