1t seems definitely settled that the
Santa Fe has absorbed the Arkan sas
Valley railroad, says a dispatch from
Rocky Ford to the Colorado Springs
Telegraph. While resident officials
Of either company will not give out
any positive information. it is never
theless fact that the deal has been
closed.
The Arkansas Valley road is being
built by the American Beet Sugar
Company from Rocky Ford to La
mar, q distance of sixty-five miles.
The line is now completed to Shell
ton, an ambitious new town in the
western part Of the Holbrook VAL
ley. eight miles east of Rocky Ford.
The grading is completed to Horse

the road to the Santa Fe was doubt
less made under such conditions as
TO insure its use for the promotion
of the sugar beet culture, equally as
effective as if owned by the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar Company. being
manufacturers of sugar and having
no ambition TO run a railway sys-
tenn, the sugar company was not
unwilling to transfer the road. since
its construction has insured the de-
sired enlargement of sugar beet
territory.

The people generally are very much
misinformed as to the nature of catarrh.
Catarrh is usually believed to he CON
fined to the head, nose and throat. Lat
terly We sometimes hear Of catarrh Of
the stomach and catarrh Of the bladder.
Seldom, If eyer, do we hear OF catarrh of
any OF or organs.
1t is nN because these organs are not
subject to catarrh, nor that catarrh of
these organs is not very common dis
ease, Int simply because il is not gener-
ally known that affections Of these
organs may be due to catarrh.
