The Institute Program
Highly Commended.

To the Editor o, the Enterprise:
I have examined with pleasure the
program OF the Farmers Institute to be
held next week, Thursday, Friday and
sa,urday-not only becausc have al
ways felt the great value to US farmers of
getting together aud comparing the re
suits OF our work, bu, also bccausc VIC
can meet and hear from the men who are
carrying ou, the work Of OUR u cmpha-
size QUIZ college at Fort Collins.
4 general examination OF the program
indicates that there has been work and
though, expended. The number OF sub
jects which have been announced for
discussion cover abou, all the principal
interests OF the valley. Stock, bees.
bets. ean,cioupcs and irn, growing have
prominent places. aud ,hosc who are iE-
;crcs;ed in flowers, poultry, etc. will be
pleased with the opportunity OF eonsid.
cfing those questions.
The talk by sir. Patterson. president OF
the FiEs; National bank OF Ia Jun,a. will
bc valuable as bearing on the business
side OF our work.
The lecture OF Prof. CARLYLE Of For;
Collins on "rhc boy on the Farn." will
he talk on the mos, valuable product
the farmer raises on his ranch.
4, was certainly gfca, example o!

Something Doing as to Liquor
Selling.

For several months n So called
Recreation Club has been running
mp stairs on North Main street.
The club was organized for the
sole purpose of selling liquor in
defiance of the city ordinances.
The authorities have been cogniz-
ant of the doings of the club and
have only been waiting to get ev-
idence which could be depended
on. Wednesday evening Marshal
arrested the following persons in
the club room for selling liquor
illegally: o. II. Kruger, J. Lax
ton, Thos. Sheehan, Oscar Shinnr-
man and Chas, Cline. The cases
will come up for hearing before
Police Magistrate Osborne on Sat-
urday. Violations of the ordin.
ance at this joint were notorious,
and it is hoped that convictions
will be secured which will close
the place.

Hon. W. 3. Ebbert VS..
The Enterprise.

During the past season the Enterprise
fought shy" of news matter relative to
discouraging reports from the beet fields.
From this fact we Judge the Enterprise is
the paper referred to IN Mr.. Ebberts ad-
dress to the beet growers, which will be
found in full in another column. His
language intimates that the Enterprise
refused to publish matter touching the
blight. which affected many fields. Meth
or Mr.. Ebbert nor any Of the beet growers
ever offered an item or letter on that sub
ject and was turned down." Being a
ready and foreeful writer. and having a
keen sense OF the necessity for publicity
regarding blight damage. Mr.. Ebbsrt
should have written = communication on
the subject TO the Enterprise.
During the growing season the extent
Of the injury from blight was undeter-
mined. What interest Of the farmers or
factory was TO be promoted by keeping
the current and prospective damage con-
stantly before the public? After the
crop was harvssted-aftsri It was CERTAIN
that much damage had been inflicted
was ample time to acknowledge and pub
lish the unpleasant facts. This the En-
terprise did. Tho course Of the Enter
prise was prompted by desire to pro-
mote the best interests Of the entire Rocky
Ford country. with the prosperity Of
whose farmers our interests arc closely
and inseparably connected.
A farmer and beet grower correctly
states tho relation Of the Enterprise to
the farming interests in these words
intense loyalty to tho Rocky Ford eoun-
try"
The part which the Enterprise has had
in promoting the development Of this por-
ton OF tho valley-and the recognition Of
that service by tho most intelligent far
mers Of this region-enables US to endure
Mr.. Ebbert's unjust structures with high
degree Of eauanimity.

The Purchasing Public

OF Rocky Ford and vicinity have learned
TO anticipate their wants and get ready
for the Annual Clearance Sale conducted
by prieo & Lance. They have learned
that they find tho goods at these sales just
as the firm adyertisos them, and they
know that any article bought Of Price &
Lance is good in quality. We predict a
great rush at their store at the opening Of

Coming Events.

At the meeting on Wednesday the Beet
Growers association appointed COM
mit.ee to wait on the American Beet
Sugar Co. and ask for fiat rate Of SIS
per ton. It is not the province OF tho
Enterprise to affirm that It Is the un-
questioned duty Of the sugar company to
grant this demand. but we trust that its
officials will decide that its interests will
be promoted by coneeeding this price. as
has been done by the northern factories.
Tho farmers OF the valley need tho ser
vices OF the factory. and tho factory. to a
greater degree. needs the product OF the
farmers. The manufacture Of sugar at
Rocky Ford cannot be a permanent in
dus,ry unless both the farmers and the
factory make money. The fac; tina. the
American Beet Sugar Co. isa"eorporstion"
Ia word used by some as a term OF re-
proaeh.l does not demand that il operate
without q fair profit. Nor should tho
farmer grow boets eSesp: ~ an equally
equitable profit. Neither should be sub
icGt 10 disadvantage or loss A. the expense
Of the other. Not only the prices Of
beets but all other matters touching the
relation existing between tho farmers and
the factory should be adjusted for their
mutual good. On no ether basis can
Rocky Ford sugar be eortinu0usly manu-
faetured.

LANDSLIDE BLOCKS
 TUNNEL ENTRANCE.
Work on White River Road I'm peded by Slides Costing
 Thousands of Dollars.

Harrison, Ark, Sept. 2. There was another landslide, last week at the entrance to tunnel B on the White River Railroad, twenty miles north of here. So great was the slide that it is estimated that it will cost the company $40, 900 to clear it away. It also pre- vents work at the west end of the tunnel until it is removed. This tunnel has been one of the worst and most expensive pieces of road ever encountered by any company. This tunnel is 2,6OO feet long and it is estimated that it will cost the company more than $40O,00O. It has been mud and loose rock most all the way, which necesitates timbering and cementing. Tunnel A, two miles north of B, was 3,400 feet long, but as it was solid rock it is about completed and has not been near so expensive as B. There are five tunnels on the line between Cotter and Aurora, Mo. It is estimated that the construc- tion of this road will cost the company more than $65,00O per mile. The line is almost com- pleted now from each end, but owing to the bad ground in tun- nel B, it will be almost a year before trains will run through. Trains are running now from the south to Yellville in Marion coun- ty, and the track is laid to Georges creek, six miles west of Yellville, where there is trestle about half a mile long and is very high.
