A subscriber living east OF town
suggests that it will be very little
expense to construct and maintain
an opposition to the Santa Fe in
freight and passenger service be
tween Rocky Ford and La Junta,
says the Rocky Ford Enterprise.
The grading OF the wagon road has
been SO badly done that canal ex-
lists for much OF the twelve miles.
BY completing the canal at the
high places cheap water transpor-
itation might be provided. But,
speaking seriously. the people
have much cause for the loudest
complaint at the condition of the
La Junta road.
