MELON GROWERS ORGANIZE
CENTRAL ASSOCIATION

The following editorial from II
recent issue Of the Denver Field
and Farm will doubtless be read
with interest by those of our read
ers who are interested in the
growing Of cantaloupes:
"A renewed movement has been startd by
some Of the can,aloupe growers in the Rocky
Ford district to organize central association
The object OF the promoters Of this plan is to
have all the cantaloupes grown in the Arkan-
sas valley marketed through one big associa
ton instead OF having each local association
support ol growers at several of the important
points, but Just how successful ii will prove
cannot be forctold a, this time. So far no
particular plan has been devised for carrying
on the work. at least far as the marketing
end Of the business is concerned Many Of
tine growers lecl that with one association re-
presenting the growers in control Of the en-
tire supply in the valley that the melons couo
be marketed to much better advantage and al
so the quality and pack Of the melons could be
controlled better fhaa is the case at present
Ii is probable that meetings at the several
points where cantaloupes a,e grown extensive
y will be held during the next month tw., 10
discuss the matter more thoroughly. One
thing is certain: To make melon growing prof
liable the selling end must be made the ch;,f

THE COMING WINTER ON THE
RANGE

The past summer has been un-
usually dry and from all part, of
west come reports that there is lit
tie grass on the range and the out
look is bad. This is as true of
other states as it is of Colorado.
In such a case, especially when it
is true at the very beginning OF
fall, one of two things must be
done or range stock will begin to
run down in flesh from insufficient
food almost at once and begin to
die long before they usually do.
Tin addition to the short range
we have an unusually hard winter
the conditions will be just SO much
worse.
Either stock must be shipped
out or feed shipped in. Those
who have few tons of feed and
three or four times as much stock
as it is enough for must get more
feed or get rid Of part of their
stock. The condition of weakness
and starvation so often reached in
the spring is already reported IN
some parts of the state.
Officers of The Colorado Humane
Society are instructed to keep an
active lookout for bad stock con
ditions in their respective neigh
borhoods and either take action
in time themselves or report the
cases with addresses of owners to
the office in Denver. Sheriffs and
peace officers generally are askel
to do the same thing, and to give
as wide publicity as possible to
this notice and urge upon their
readers compliance with the law
and protection for the stock al
ready beginning to starye.
1t is time the disgrace to the civi.
lization of the West. and especially
of this state. involved in the an
nual starvation of range stock is

Grand Jury, Colonel Harry Wels-

after only a few days illness of pneu'
monia, and few months ago another
member of the firm of Peaslee-Gddl-
bert Co., Mr.. Cary accidentally shot and
killed himself while out bird hunting.
For many years Mr.. George Gaulberi
has been one of the foremost business
men in louisville, being at the head
of the Peaslee-Gaulbert Company. He
is of fine physique and he was con-
sidered one of the most robust men
in Louisville, for his age. He Is be-
ing attended by DR.. Roberts, who says
that the paralysis has not become
general. DR.. Roberts has not aban
doned hope of his recovery.

AS usual, Mr.. Bryan made an elo-

the present year.
In addition he arraigned the
combinations of capital in restraint of
trade, and urged the passage of laws
suitable to remedy the evils now so

BAD WRECK
L. G. N. Passenger Train DeraiIed and
Number of Persons Hurt-None
Fatally, HoNkver.

AS the east Doud sssenger train
on the L. & N. R. ~ on Monday
morning, reached point couple of
miles east of BagdadS the trucks
under the ~ left the track (sup-
posed to bs fused by a. rail slipping
out of its place., and went humping
along the ties. The place where the
trucks left the rails was en:a fill.sand
the engineer in charge feaiizes that
if the cars left the track at that point
that there would be terrible Joss OF
life, on account of the cars. going of
the fill. He therefore opgped the
throttle, and dragged the train into
heavy cut just in time. The. cars
were derailed against the bank and
the windows smashed and passengers
thrown about promiscuohsiy!
The list of injured are as follows:
Capt. John McNabb, conduc or,
badly bruised, back wrenched and in
jrred internally.
Representative H. L. Myers, Of But
Ter county, internally injured.
Representative G. c. Waggoner, OF
Henry county, bruised and injured in
ternally.
Senator Frank Rivers, of Hopkins
vile, right hand cut and bruised.
Senator N. c. Cureton, of Louisville,
two fingers on right hand badly mash
cd and hip bruised.
Representative T. B. Dixon, of AL
len county, slightly bruised.
Representative w. F. Edwards, Of
Glasgow, slightly bruised and badly
shaken up. NJ
Representative T. e. Finley, of
jacksonville, hand cut and bruised
about side.
Mrs. M. c. Rankin, of Emipence,
right arm sprained and badly bruised.
Mr.. Marion Mcknight, of Hazel
green, banker, badly bruised.
Deputy Collector w. L. Archer, Of
Louisville, hip bruised.
In addition to these whose names
are given, there were several others
who were bruised and shaken up.
The track was torn up for about.
fifty yards and the cars completely
blocked the cut, so that two wrecklng;
trains, which were sent from Louis
vile and Lexington, respectively,
were kept busy until late hour clear
ing the track.
The l.. & N. trains transferred pas
sengers and baggage, but the G. G. o.
trains were compelled to go by way
of the Louisville Southern tracks.
The remarkable thing about the
whole matter is that, with so many
people on board and their being dash
ed about promiscuously, no one was
killed outright and it is hoped none
very seriously injured.
Capt. McNabb, the conductor, was
the worst injured Of any. He is one
of the most popular and accommodate
ing conductors on the road-genial,
wholesouled and polite-his host of
friends hope that he may soo7 be out.
He was taken to Louisville and placed
in an infirmary.
