SEED STOCK SOLD

Rocky Ford, Jan. 1.-THE stock of
the Ebbert Seed company, which had
been taken over by the receiver of
the defunct State bank on account of
paper which the bank held OF the
company, was put up at public auc-
tion today and sold to the highest bid
der. 1t was finally bought in by W.
B. Vaudeville, cashier Of the Rocky
Ford National bank, for $500.

The Rocky Ford Gazette, which was
recently leased by j. B. Johnstun, has
suspended publication on account OF
financial troubles OF the owner.
Probably another result OF the bank
failure. The third paper has always
been tough proposition at the Ford
and the recent failure will probably
settle the question OF whether the
town can support three wceklies, for
some time to come.

STATEMENT

IL probably would he proper and
right at this time for the Cantaloupc
Growers Association to make state
ment to the people as to their con-
dition, and prospects for the coming
year.
year ago the Association owed the
growers about 81 900. The reason OF
this was large quantity of crates had
been left on the hands of the Associa-
tion by the growers. one account
of this material amounting to about
81, 600, numerous smaller accounts OF
the same material amounting to sew
eral thousand dollars Indebtedness for
crates purchased for the season of 1907
and unsettled. In order to settle with
the growers OF 1907, it was necessary
to borrow $4,000 on this material
which was done, and settlement made
in full. During the season Of 1908 1t
was the aim OF the Association to dis
pose OF this large stock OF material
and liquidate the debt. This stock
had to be sold at loss of about 30
per cent. A large part OF this stock
was disposed Of and probably would
all have been had the season not been
cut short by early frost. AS it is, the
Association has on hands 81, 700 OF
crate material, shipping sheds, notes
and accounts. Against this there is
an Indebtedness to the growers OF
crops OF 1908 OF $500, which the
Association has every reason to be-
lieye can be met and paid within the
next sixty days.
The contract for the handling of
the melons for the season OF 1909 has
been let to Mr.. ID. V. Burrell. of Rocky
Ford, probably the most experienced
and successful melon man in the West.
Under this contract with Mr.. Burrell,
he is to take from the Association all
their material, and all new material
needed he Is to furnish to the growers
at cost; takes back from them any un-
used crates that are not nailed up and
in marketable condition. so that at
the end OF the season of 1909 the
Association has every reason to be-
lieve all their crate material will be
disposed of, all debts liquidated and
that there will be no further annoy
ance In the handling of the crate
proposition.
Efforts will be made at once to get
all unsettled accounts into cash or
note so that the Association will know
detiDitely what its resources are in
this direction. Acreage is now being
taken and the secretary is ready at
any time to take your contract for the
season Of 1909. The Associations
Office is now located with Peck &
johnson and the secretary will be
found there to transact the business
of the Association on every day from
loo to 400 p. m. until such time as
sufficient acreage is secured and need
ed business attended to. Any growers
wishing to check up their account are
kindly requested to do so at as early a
date as possible.
Prospects for 1909 are bright and
encouraging, the acreage of melons in
and about Ordway will be large.
There is no region in the West that
grows melons superior to those grown
at Ordway.

TO KEEP THEM ALIVE.
Insurance Companies Plan to Treat
Sick PoIicyholders.

New York, July 31.-Declaring that
there are three million persons seri-
Ously i'll in the United States at all
times, an insurance company has an
nounced it's intention of establishing
a health bureau for the benefit of its
policyholders. The idea originated
with E. z. Rittenhouse, former state
insurance superintendent of Colorado,
who came here six months ago to take
charge of one of the companies.
Policyholders will be invited to keep
the health bureau of the company
fully informed at all times as to their
physical condition. They will be ask
ed to describe all of their symptoms,
and then, at stated periods. the ailing
may attend clinics conducted by the
company's physicians in various parts
Of the country. They will be person.
ally and thoroughly examined and
fully advised as to what treatment TO
pursue.
Mr.. Rittenhouse said: 1.-THE deter
mined fight which has been made
against consumption has reduced
mortalities from that source about 80
per cent in New York in the last 80
years. There is no reason why we
should not be as successful in the
kidneys and brain.
I'm the last 80 years the combined
death rate sfrom apoplexy and all dis
eases of the heart and kidneys has
increased from 1872 per ten thousand
in population to 363, or about 90 per
cent increase. President Roosevelt's
conservation commission estimated
that more than one-third of the deaths
in this country are premature. By
duce the premiums the insured must

new WAR ENGINE.
One Which Will Paralyze Warships by
Electric Energy.

Chicago, July 31.-A special from
London to the Tribune says:
From an excellent source it has
been learned that the reason the
American government remains appar-
emily so little concerned about the ad-
vances in aerial navigation made by
foreign experimentors is that an Off
GER in the American army stationed at
Fort Omaha has worked out an cleo
trio Invention which is likely to
paralyze all other existing or proposed
engines of war.
The invention, he says, is to be ex-
clusively the property of the United
States government and up to the pres
ent the essential details are carefully
guarded. The machine is said to pro-
feet through the air a column of cleo
trio energy of almost any desired
strength at any given object for a dis
lance of many hundred yards. The
informant, who himself is an expert in
war said:
"Such an electric column would
queer every mechanism on a warship,
stop the engines, annul the dynamos,
kill the signalling apparatus, make the
guns unworkable, Stay hundreds of
men by shock alone, and might even
explode the magazines. Its possibili-
ties for offensive warfare are almost
unlimited. Of course I don't say its
absolute efficiency yet is assured, but
from certain knowledge 1 can say in
entire confidence that the experiments
made point convincingIy in this direc-
ton"

Boston Hunter Has Enough Ivory and

New York, July 91.-w. G. sewan
of Boston, Harvard 'O7, has just re-
turned from two years hunting trip
through Central Africa with enough
ivory and hides to more than pay his
entire expenses. Mr.. Sewall bagged

While going through Uganda Mr..

COWBOY TO MAKE LONG RIDE.
e. S. O'ReiIIy Left San Antonio To-
day for Washington, ID. c.

San Antonio, Tex, July 31.-Garb-
ed as a cowboy, pony express rider
left San Antonio today to make the
long ride of 1900 miles to Washing
ton, carrying an invitation from the
people of southwest Texas to Prest-
dent Taft. 1t will be the longest
horse back ride ever attem pied and as
a feat of endurance it will be unpaf-
allied.
The invitation urging the nations
chief executive to visit San Antonio
will be signed by the governor of the
state, mayor of the city, county and
city officials, the mayors of thirty-one
small cities in San Antonio's country
and thousands of the empire builders
Of the southwest.
The cowboy courier is sent by the
San Antonio Light and Gazette. Ed
ward s. O'ReilIy, who will make the
trip, in addition to being a seasoned
rider is a veteran newspaper man
and is at present managing editor of
the Light and Gazette. He has had an
unusual career as soldier in Cuba,
the Philippines and China, and at one
time was a drill instructor in the Chi
nese imperial army at Shanghai,
China.
Mr. O'ReiIly is a native of Texas
and his boyhood days were passed on
a cattle ranch in San Saba, Texas.
The horse he will ride was raised on
the plains of Texas and is famous for
its stamina and long distance trips.
Half the cowboys OF southwest IeXaS
have heard of the horse Arkansas.
which was bred on the famous Taft
ranch. owned by the presidents
brother. 1t is expected that the pony
express rider will make an average
of thirty-five miles day during his
long ride.
Charles Taft, brother of the presi-
dent has invited Mr.. O'Reilly to isit
him when he rides through Cincin-
natl, Ohio. Scores of. business mems
organizations and press clubs have
invited the rider to be their guest at
different cities during the ride.
