To the Editor of the Enterprise.
Herewith find a copy Of letter from
Senator FELTON, in regard to senate bill
No. S2, which explains all the legal
points. regret that the action taken
by the Horticultural society last week.
II they hnd taken little pains to post
themselves there would have been no
grounds for the resolution passed. When
the members do learn, they will be sorry
for it, because it is reflection on the
best friends horticulture has in the state.
Senator FELTON, has never missed an op-
portunity Of getting in everything that
would advance horticulture. Neither
has Senator Swink. He is always on
the alert, watching for good points and
pushing them to finish. With these
two senators and Hon. r. W. Patterson
in the house. all active for fruit growers
interests, horticulturists can rest assured
that affairs will be well cared for. We
surely have the right men in the right
places. j. O. KAHN.

Senator Felton,s Letter.

see by the News this morning that
the people of Rocky Ford are up in arms
against my bill repeating the provision Of
law that prohibits the spraying of trees
while in bloom. It is all a mistake-a
mistake of mine in drawing the bill, in
which provided to repeal Sec. OF au
act approved "April 16" when intended
april 15": The bill was amended to
read "April Is" and passed the senate
the law creating the state board of horti-
culture, approved "April 15," you will
see that it does not refer to the bee busi-
ness at all.
The only object of my two bills, No. 81
and No. 50, is to correct an error. When
the bill providing for spraying, county
inspectors. ETC., reached the governor two
years ago he submitted the bill to the
attorney general and he pronounced
Sec. Z Of said bill unconstitutional be-
cause it provided that the inspector
might destroy orchards without having
had the question submitted to court.
The governor said he would have to veto
this bill. It was finally agreed that I
should put section into my bill Great
| ing the state board OF horticulture that
covered the spraying features of Sec. z,
above referred to, without containing the
Objectionable feature, and that the gov
ernor would sign the inspection law first
and the state board law last, thereby
making Sec. 8 Of the state board law the
controlling law because it was signed
last. When, however, he came to sign
the two bills he made the mistake Of
signing the wrong bill first, thereby max
ing the unconstitutional section a. Of in
spection law the controlling law.
Now, to correct that matter, drew up
my two bills. No. 81 does AWAY with
Sec Of the inspection bill and inserts

VALUABLE NEW INDUSTRY.
R. c. Maltby's Milwaukee Brick and
Tile Works Soon to be Under
EuuakunoAlo,.

Tile Works Soon to be Under
Construction.
Three weeks ago the Enterprise limited
at the starting Of a new industry which
promised to be Of great benefit to Rocky
Ford. We have just received authority
to make public the nature OF the enter
prise. r. @. Maltby has one mile south
OF town 100 acres OF land on which are
immense deposits OF fine quality OF
shale. During the past year lie has
made number OF experiments and
found it particularly well adapted to the
manufacture OF u high quality OF pressed
brick. Tho color will be OF the we'll
known Milwaukee brick shade, only bet :
ter-a rich cream with pinkish tint, "a
most beautiful building material. The
shale will also make superior quality
Of tile, of which all sizes from 4 to l2
inches will be manufactured.
The latest and most approved ma
chinery has been contracted for, includ-
ing 40-horse-power engine. The brick
machine will turn out an article of unus-
uai smoothness and with great rapidity.
The location OF the works has not yet
been decided on, but most probably a
site near the canning factory will be
chosen. The work Of construction will
soon begin and be pushed to completion
in order that the manufactured goods
may be put on the market as early in the
building season as possible.
1. w. Larmore, who has had large ex-
perience IN the line Of brick and tile MAX
ing. will be superintendent of the works.
This new enterprise will employ a
portant addition to our industrial inter-
ests. Not only 30, but it will supply
the material by which Rocky Ford will
be enabled to continue building opera
tions with brick which will make struc-
lures Of most beautiful and ornamental
character. We congratulate the public
on Mr.. Maltby's decision to inaugurate
an enterprise of such value to the COM
munity.
