of four crates. They were shipped
by express to Denver, and were
brought in by Fred Magee and E.

shipped every day during the pres

will probably be made until the

The Rocky Ford Enterprise OF

The Rocky Ford Enterprise of
last week contained screed which
said that the grading OF the wagon
road between La Junta and Rocky
Ford had been SO badly done that
a canal existed for much OF the
twelve miles. We know from per
sonal observation that this is not
true. Old residents declare the
road is in better condition at the
present time than it has been in
years. During the past few months
the county has expended $384.r2
from the contingent fund in i'm
proving this road. The worst part
Of it, between the county seat and
Swink station, most of which is
alkali soil, has received coating
Of gravel and is in frst-class con-
dition. 1t is the intention OF the
county commissioners to gravel the
road the entire distance to Rocky
Ford before the close Of the pres
ent year. The only part Of the
road which travellers "have cause
for the loudest complaint" is at
the very entrance to Rocky Ford.

YELLOW FEVER.
Thought to De Due to a Particular r
Micfobe.

Thought to he Due to . Particular
Micfobe.
The disease which has this year
brought so much distress to the people
of the south is one that hns baffied
physicians and investigators for exact
ly three and a half centuries. The first
authentic account we have of an
epidemic of yellow fever is OF one that
occurred in Barbados in 1647, and the
following year we first hear of it at
Havana. 1t is in Havana that most of
the epidemics suffered in this country
have originated.
There are now three parts of the
world where the disease is always pres
ent, the West Indies, Brazil, and the
west coast of Africa, but we do not
know where it came from originally.
We know that it was taken to Rio de
Janciro from New Orleans or Havana
about so years ago. but whether it came
in the first place from the west coast
of Africa, or was carried there from
the West Indias in slavers returning
for fresh cargoes cannot now be deter
mined.
Yellow fever is contagious disease
which never irvades regions outside its
permanent homes in any other way
than through infected persons or
things.
Many physicians who have studied
the disease in Havana and elsewhere
believe that it is spread from the sick
to the well through the agency OF
mosquitoes or other winged insects. IT
ms not. improbable that this is one way
in which the virus is carried, for the
hypothesis would account for the ap-
pearances of yellow fever in places quite
shut oil from all apparent means of
| infection.
For example, the disease appeared
this year in Baton Rouge in spite of the
| most rigid quarantine against the out
side world. 1t is possible, of course,
that some one may have evaded the
quarantine guards, but it is more
probable that mosquitoes or flies
carried the germs in their bodies.
1t has long been believed that yellow
fever, like other contagious or fnfec-
special microbe, but no one could find it
until few months ngo, when it was
discovered by DR.. Sanarelli, an italian
physician in Montevideo.
Not only has he found the germ of
| yellow fever, but it is said that he has
also elaborated vaccine which will
protect as surely against this disense
rs vaccination protects against small
pox. Should this prove true it would be
| OF incalculable benefit to all tropical
| America, for the chief obstacle to the
| Development of this vast and lovely por-
ton of the earth is the yellow fever,
which repels the energetic Angle
