community. and. as it often hap
pens, out Of which many quickly
get personal advantages. Besides
this there, is alwsys.. something to
be done for the benefit of all that
requires time, and in every case OF
this kind the newspaper man is
the first to come to the front offer
his time and his talents in order
that the benefits of a community
may be the better understood.
This incessant drain makes it out
of the question for the country
editor to accumulate money and
get rich. But riches is not his
goal. His aim aud his ambition
is to benefit others and to make
the community grow and the peo-
pie become prosperous. Pueblo

Prof. l.. g. Carpenter OF the state agri.

valley last week and made the Enterprise
an instructive and pleasant call. For a
number OF years Prof. Carpenter has

ply OF water, it's seepage and evaporation.
He has been gathering mass OF valu.
able facts relative to these points and il
was largely ON that mi sion that he was

Can't Say too Much.

"Seeiag is believing" and what
the scribes saw compels them to
say that all the good things ever
said of the great Arkansas Valley
have been said truthfully. In fact
it would be difficult to exaggerate
facts in regard to the thrift. and
careful husbandry, the tidiness
and the general prosperity seen all
along the line of railroad from
Rocky Ford to Lamar, the farmers,
orchardists, and gardeners all
seeming to vie with one another in
trying to make a rich aad lovely
place of his particular possession.
The people of Lamar, La Junta
and Rocky Ford, the towns visited
are remarkably bright and wide
awake aud have n well-to-do ap-
pearance which seems to say:
I'VE don't own the earth but we do
own far share Of the best portion
of il, and what is more, we have
earned it by right of grit and in
dustry; we are well fixed now and
are here to stay" That is the
way they looked, and the cordiality
of the men aud women, their intelli-
gehce and refinement, went to
show that the towns of the valley
are peopled with splendid class
Of citizens and nre determined to
make their part Of the universe
move along nt a fast gait that is
truly Western.
On arriving nt Rocky Ford the
first thing that imprcsses one is
the high state Of cultivation he sees
on all sides. Every available foot
Of land seems to be titled aud cap
able Of wonderfully rich produc-
ton. The orchards are older as
u rule aud bearing we'll. the 7O-acre
orchard tract Of j. H. Crowley
defying comparison with the best
orchard to bc found anywhere.
The sugar beets are well advanced
here, aud the sugar beet company
says there will be 10000 acres Of
sugar bccts treated by their plant
this season. The people OF Rocky
Ford nrc very progressive and
their public spirit is responsible
for the presence Of the big million
dollar sugar beet plant at that
place.
An extensive drive wns taken
through the outlying districts. and
everywhere were to be seen the
same evidences OF careful husbnn-
dry. of thrift aud prosperity, every
field being as tidy and as hand.
some rs u garden. Tho Ford
certainly has some good farmers
and il fortunate in that respect.
The city is making n rapid growth
and the people are justly proud Of
the fnct that they have ns beauti-
full city Of homes rs one could
wish to see. The $50 acrcs COW
cred by the site looks like vast
grove, aud the streets arc well
cleaned, the stores have business
mir and the dwellings with their
lawns aud trees look 80 comfort
able. The press club was received
at the st james hotel and most
cordially welcomed by Manager
Thompson. Every courtesy was
shown by the people generally
and the newspaper folks, to the
number OF twenty-odd, esteemed
very highly the kindness of the
