Mis-. Frye Write. the En.erprlse

To tho Enterprise;
In reply 70 tho article published in last

did mo a little injustice In not stating tho
truth Of the case. In regards 70 me
spreading the disease around the commu-
nifty cannot understand how could have
spread the disease when no one took Il
from me. neither before nor after ! was
auarantined. VIII also say as far as mo
cisregarding tho rights OF others there was
no one more careful and took any more
precautions against the spread of the
disease than did: in regards to me try
ing to conceal the fact that hadent small
pox is incorrect. When ono is not awarh
OF the fact that they have been exposed
TO a disease and are taken i'll how can
they tell what the nature Of the disease
is going to be. No physician nor any nurse
is supposed TO know what disease is.
until 1t develops its self; in regards to the
parties. whose house was i'll in, having
to seek refuge elsewhere is an incorrect
statement. They stayed right in their
own home: the bills mentioned will say |
payed my own rent and medicine and
wash bill; the disease Of small pox is bad
enough in its self without being held up
before the public for criticism. will say
II the writer had as much regard for the
rights of others as he tried to represent
he must be more careful in what he does
and says; no gentleman would have made
statements that he did; in regards to a
lady; and as far as the city paying my
bills it is supposed that person is all
lowed little time to get something to
pay bills with. The city has presented a
bill to me. but not for the amount stated

The farmers IN the West have been
greatly alarmed in the last few weeks by
the persistent circulation Of a report to
the effect that the administration was
preparing to make a charge for water de-
rived from the national forests and used
for irrigation and other general purposes.
The report, it appears, has not the slight
est basis OF fact. A circular from the
Forest Service says: People of the sec
tons Of the West where irrigation has
been such an important factor in devel-
opment were naturally much concerned
by the rumored charge for water coming
from the national forests. The interests
Of the people concerned with forestry and
irrigation are much the same, as the
steady flow OF most OF the irrigating
streams is absolutely dependent on the
preservation of the forest watersheds. In
a letter to Hon. Edward T. Taylor, OF
Glenwood Springs, Colorado. concerning
the rumored charge for water for irriga-
ton, Forester Pnohot says that he does
not believe that there ever should be, or
ever will be, charge for water for irri-
cation. The erroneous report was found
ed on misrepresentation regarding the
charges which electric power companies
are required to pay for use and occu-
pancy of lands in the national forests or
reservoir sites, conduit rights OF way. ana
,wer stations. This charge is solely fer
the use OF the lands, based on their value
for such purpes IS. and not in any nse a
charge for water. The Appropriation and

The New Town Of "Barton"

H. A. Whitsett has bought ten acre
tract bordering on the corner of the cross
roads Of the Barton corner. five miles
south OF town. He has bought of the
Rocky Ford Cement Stone Co.. one thous-
and blocks of stone with which he is
building a large country store, locating it
on the corner. He will stock it with
goods suited to ihe country trade. From
this corner one road makes an air line to
Rocky Ford and another an air line to La
Junta. The other two roads lead out in
to well settled country districts with
many comfortable homes and well de-
velopsd ranches. 1t is expected that
when the Santa Fe spur line of railroad
now contracted for. is built, beet dump
will be located near the corners. That
customary advance guard of new town
settlement blacksmith shop. is already
provided for. There is school house
on the ground. So it is that the new
town of Barton" looms up as another OF
the active centers of suburban industry
in this part of the Arkansas Valley.

From Rocky Ford to the Arctic cIreI

Rocky Ford happens to have for res
ident just now Mrs. Emily Rosenberg. Of
Chicago. who is the mother Of Felix
Rosenberg. one Of the two young men Of
the Wellman Arctic exploration pvrty.
who were left in the arctic regions last
winter and to whom relief party Is just
now starting out. A novel feature Of the
new party equipment is that balloon
service will carry in the stead Of the usual
balasting chains, supplies Of food in pack
ages strung together like sausages and
suspended from the balloon. so saving
storage space in the balloon. That bal
oon will probably look good to the two
young men left in arctic exile last fall
when it heaves in sight with packages Of
fresh grub dangling from the guy ropes.
Mrs. Rosenberg is here caring for an in
valid sister. who is trying Colorado eli-
mate as an antidote for lung affection.
