The lntcrurban

A. J. Beginner and George kendall.
promoters OF the Arkansas Valley Inter-
urban railroad accompanied by Or. D. W..
Selden and T. J. Stanley. Of Manzanola,
were here Wednesday looking over the
preliminary survey Of the company. They
are busy eonfering with the citizens along
the lins and giving assurance OF good
faith in the enterprise. These gentlemen
find the sentiment Of the people all along
tho valley enthusiastic for fhe Bent Com
pany. The outlook for the road is most
encouraging. From this time on there
will be something doing all the time until
the right Of way is secured. the road built
and put in operation.-Fowler Tribune.
There arc three interurban lines head
ed this way at present, and we respect
fully suggest to the city council that they
refuse to grant a franchise to any of
them unless tho projectors will agree to
put up bond guaranteeing to commence
work within very short time and have
the road completed and in operation with
in a reasonable time. Franchises are val
liable to a corporation that means busi-
ness and really intends to do something,
but some franchises are secured for the
sole purpose Of manipulating a stock
iobbing scheme.-La Junta Tribune.

One Way to Build a Car Line.

While the building Of car lines is live
topic Of discussion in this vicinity It will
doubtless be Of interest to know what is
being said on that particular subjec. in
other parts Of the country. A very in
teresting proposition has been figured out
by the Grand Forks IN. d. Daily Herald.
in which town street car line is being
projected. Tho plan proposed by the
Herald is one that proposes to dispense
with tho usual eapitalistie financing plan,
which seems to be such an essential feat
ure in railroad building. The Herald pro-
poses to overcome this difficulty by shift
ing from dividends alone the expectation
Of profit on the investment. According
to the Herald's plan tho lot owners along
the line are to be the stockholders and
their indueement for investing is simply
the value the road will add to their prop
critics. The way the Herald puts the
matter is interesting. and should COM
mand the attention Of local parties con-
cerned in the project on foot in this local
ity. The Herald says:
~ Oil OdtSldS uINcSIOI lHS QuSStiOi VI
dividends on the investment would natur-
ally receive the first consideration. But
the people who are here now, and who
own property here, have the most imme-
diate and most vital interest in the sub
ject. A little figure on the extent to
which the owner Of real estate would be
benefited by street railway is illumin-
ating. How much would the average so
foot lot be benefited by Icing brought
within two L,ooks Of street railway
Would the advantage be worth S25p
Most people would say. off hand, that it
would be. That is SO cents front foot.
Let US see what that amounts to. There
are nearly IA blocks in mile, and ex-
elusive of streets. there is little over
| 1000 feet Of private property on each
side Of the street. Along straight lire
Of road there would be something over
10000 feet Of property within two blocks
Of the line, for each mile Of road, or AGO.

RAPID TRANSIT TALK

Tho Board Of Trade meeting called for
Wednesday night by Pres. Loekhar, at

business men TO hear E. S. Alnut. OF
Sa!ina. Ks. and a. J. Behymer. Of Elwo0d.

interurban railway through o,ero county.
Mr.. Alnutt's proposal has boon given

jeet proposes limo between Rocky Ford
and Ia Junta. having a narrow gauge
track carrying gasoline motor driven cars
each car being combined car and loco

miles an hour. Tho estimated cost Of tho

tho city council for right Of way thru

Of tho town and returning on tho other.
and north as far as the fair grounds on
Main street. After Pros. Loekhvrt had
introduced Mr.. Alnutt and ho had laid
his scheme before tho meeting some aues-
tons Of detail were asked and answered
by Mr.. Alnutt
After some questioning came on Mr..
Beginner. who represents tho proposed
Canon City and La Junta electric road
projeet, and who reeitsd tho details Of his
scheme. This Is tho construction Of an
electric power road running between the
above mentioned points, and eventually
farther. but having Immediately in view
that part Of tho line between La Junta
and Pueblo.
Tho meeting gave Interested attention
to tho speakers for both projects and at
the conclusion Of their talks there was
moved the appointment Of committee
from the Board Of Trade TO consult with
the city council on matters pertaining TO
franchises. The evident sentiment Of tho
meeting was that a rapid transit road
would bo good thing fer tho valley and
that tho company which showed h Q
most active and sincere purpose to put
such road in actual operation should re-
eeive such consideration in tho matter OF
franchise privileges ac was consistent
with tho best irterosts of tho municipal-
ity to grant.

Which VIII II BE?

Las, week the Enterprise made editor
ial reference to the growing use OF the
gasoline motor car on rallied roads. The
special local interest given to tho subject
comes Of tho fact tina, the proposition OF
one OF the promotion schemes now afoo.
for rapid transit line down tho Valley
Is gasoline motor scheme. There is
considerable diversity o! opinion as to the
respective efficiency Of electricity and
gasoline. and Il will interest and surprise
many to learn that eminent authorities
arc arguing tho case in favor Of gasoline.

enemies: also II is fact that sandburs
and all noxious weeds do not grow in tho
Same fold. This wonderful variety OF
eantaloupos requires no cultivation or ir-
riga;ion and it can bo grown on tho same
land indefinitely. The seed having boon
planted in snow, the plant becomes self
rofrigcra,ing and can be shipped any dis
tanee without leo. and will keep indeiln-
itely. Tho quality Of this melon is so OK
quisito that 4 walk through field. eyon

ono Of tho best eantaloupes Of the past.
Those interested in can'aloupes should
remember all OF these essential points in
this particular perfected strain Of canta-
loupes. They may secure a supply Of tho
seed from almost any cantaloupa grower
at Rocky Ford.
A. p. Kouns and D. v. Burrel hold the
earliest record from Rocky Ford for ripo
cantaloupes. In 1896 each shipped
crate to Denver July 2s. A few speci-
mems had ripcned even before that Tho
seed had been planted the first week in
May. and thus matured in about 95 days.
Shorter records for quick development
have varied from 72 to 80 days. But
such records have been possible only un-
der the most favorable conditions Of warm
soil and weather, planted usually in June,
and thus developed without check. A
contrast of the climatic records this year
with that of 1896 reveals that we have
had unprecedented cold conditions in
April and May and hence the melon crop
is late.
Taking the growing season from April
90 to July 2z, period of SO days: In
1896 the average daily maximum and
minimum temperatures were 81 and 81.
for the corresponding period this year the
same readings have averaged 2 degrees
colder each day in the period-or zs and
4e degrees-The maximum average be-
ing 9 degrees and the minimum de-
grees warmer in 1896 than this year.
Also the records show that on April le
and 20 over inches of snow lay on the
ground and others followed until May |.
The cold conditions of April and May were
responsible for the lateness Of our caat-
aloupes. There are no indications that
cantaloupes will ripen this year before

A Gentle Hint to Mamas

Pastors who are disturbed by the pratt

church services. will appreciate the fol-
lowing inoident:
A babe was allowed by its mother to
trot all over the church. The aisles be-
ing uncarpeted the attention Of the con-
gregation was much distracted. After
time the child passed near leve-headed

shoes. which being handed to the child it
went to its mother. This hint was suffi .
cient to cause the mother to keep the
child by her side during the remainder Of
the service,

Pruued His Cantaloupes.

J. E. Gauger was probably the worst
sufferer by the hail that visited the coun-
try east Of Swink a week ago Monday.
He had in 40 acres Of cantaloupes on
ground that had never been plowed be-
fore. The vines were riddled by the hail.
and although the crop looked like total
loss he decided to try an experiment.
Fifteen Japs were employed to cut off the
vines at the stalk and Mr.. Gauger hopes
that the eantaloupes will shoot and bios
som again. He tried this experiment
once before, although the eantaloupss
were not 20 far advanced, and it proved

The Enterprise is not in the business OF
