A Good word for Rocky
Ford from the Pacific
Coast.
Kings Valley, Oregon.
June l, 1899.
I have received two copies of
the Enterprise for which 1 am
much obliged. l had formed a
favorable opinion of your town
and the surrounding country by
reading brief references published
in the Weekly News of Denver,
and judging from the make up of
Enterprise 1 believe that my con-
clusions are correct. The liberal
patronage given to your advertis-
ing space indicates that your bus
mess men are energetic and pro-
gressive, and that is n good re-
commendation, as all enterprising
business men understand the val
ne of printers ink, and are not
usually found in slow-going towns.
Having decided to make my home
in some part of Colorado as soon
as l can dispose of my property
here, and wishing to keep an eye
on Rocky Ford, 1 enclose remit
tance to apply on subscription to
the Enterprise as l want more
general and accurate description
of your town and its surroundings
G. w. Pagett.
. We don't know in what line of
business Mr.. Pagett wishes to en-
gage but can say that on general
principles no portion of Colorado
offers more prospective prosperity
than does the Rocky Ford coun-
try. We don't need any addition
to our present force of lawyers,
doctors or merchants but in all
lines relating to the development
of our horticultural and agricultu-
raj resources there is ample room
for many new citizens.

Money is said to be scarce among
tho people. We don't believe it. Here
IN Rocky Ford we hnve silver dollars to
throw at the birds. At least we've plen-
ty OF dollars to use in way equally as
sensible as throwing them at English
sparrows. Saturday Inst long haired
fakir, wearing a fringed buckskin, jacket
and calling himself Apache Jack did
business on our streets. Many. little
boxes OF cheap drugs, actual value s
cents, he sold for ~. His next move
was the most cheeky ever played by n
fakir. He asked the bystandeS to give
him dollars. A dozen confiiding men
did so. When lie had raked. in about
$50 for the sale OF medicines md MS gifts
he asked all il they were satisfied Re-
ceiving an affirmative answer he touched
| the whip to his horse and drove over to
Ordway to catch suckers in the evening.
The above wonld seem incredible did
we omit to state the means used to to toll
| on the crowd to part with their dollars.
When the first box Of medicine was sold
| the dollar was returned and another
with it. 1t is probable the later purchas-
ers expected n similar bonanzIi, but were
badly left. The giving Of dollars as free
gift is utterly unexplainable. When you
see fellow on the street in buggy to
which is attached good horse, making
efforts to get your money on any pretext,
you had better let him alone. His busi-
ness Is to come ont ahead and get away
quickly and he always does. In the
case noted those who. contributed the
money were victims Of the rankest kind
OF swindling but it VIVA done in such
clever way US to make the scamp proof
against prosecution.
| That individual is fortunate who
knows how to do ono thing we'll, and is
then content to do il.
County Assessor Booher Of Kiowa
was in Ordway last week gathering in
formation regarding stock that range in

non.residents. He found several thous-
and head OF new cattle along and adja-

taxation and proposes to see that said
property is listed to their owners who
