LARGE INCREASE.
A., T. G. s. F. Business at Rocky Ford
-ConnnnendahIe Renort.

The growth in railway business, the
past year, in this city is worthy
item. The passenger business was
five times greater than in 1899. The
facilities for handling the business Is
quite inadequate. A gain of $50 per
cent. in freight alone over 1899 Is
startling fact. The freight yards and
switches will have to be enlarged to
meet the neds. The company has fur
nished the following report:
Cars received, 1899. $40
Cars forwarded. 1899. ........... $50
Cars received, 1901. ........ 4,159
Cars forwarded. 1901. ........... 1,548
