Royal Insurance Co. Pays City Claim,
For Fire Loss.

The following letter. accompanied by a
draft for $1,000. was received from the
managers Of the Western department Of
the Royal Insurance Co. on Wednesday.
and sets at rest all question regarding
payment Of insurance upon the city fire
equipment:
Chicago. July le. 1909
Mr.. L. R. Fenlason. Agent
Rocky Ford. Colo.
Dear Sir:
Enclosed herewith we are pleased to
hand you our draft for Sl5oo.oo, in full
payment Of the claim made by the assur-
cd under this policy. 1t was our lntsn-
ton to have State Agent Dalton take
this matter up with you in person. but
owing to his being obliged to take care of
important matters elsewhere. he has been
unable to have the pleasure Of = visit
with you a. yet,
We observe you state In your letter Of
TIE 7th Inst. that we are not legally Ii
able for this loss. but that you have talk
cd on this subject with several Of the
field men. they expressing that their
companies would have paid the loss, and
as this claim Is causing you some en-
barrassmsnt, we have decided to rsim-
burss the assuIed. However. we wish
to state very frankly that there 10 abso-
lutsly no liability against this company
for this loss, and that this payment Is
made following out the usual broad man.
nsr Of disposing Of claims against the
Royal Insurance Company. We eertain-
ly would not have carried this risk cover
ing anywhere in the City of Rocky Ford
at the rate we received; !. e., 2 per cent,
and the statement Of certain field men to
the effect that their companies would
have paid this claim without question do
not influence US in the least IN disposing
Of this matter. and we hope that the
payment Of this amount to the City of
Rocky Ford will be clearly understood as
a gratuity. We know that you will use
your best efforts TO see that we are fay-
ored with sufficient line of business
from your agency in future to, in meas
ure. recompense US for this gift, and the
fact that we are paying this claim with
out any legal liability will be given suffi-
eient prominence by your good self.
Trusting that or action in this matter
will have the effect Of further cementing
the friendship between our Offices, and
assuring you Of our appreciation Of the
volume OF business 20, have been favor
ing Us with. we remain
Very truly yours.

Pictures of Road Making,

Moving pictures Of work being done on
the roads Of the country. showing Just
how the work Is done, the machinery
used and the result Of little work con-
verting bad road into a regular speed
way. Is the latest bit Of novelty which the
Department Of Agriculture is to offer the
farmers and business men Of the coun-
try.
Work has just been started on 1000
feet Of films which show the road work.
The first film taken was in Virginia
where the convicts are making every
road in the state as good as paved. This
is unique ribbon" as the men in stripes
give it regular picture show appear
ance.
Other pictures are to be taken in the
west. where the states will not stand for
convict labor, but where enterprising far
mers in some sections have devoted a
little time to road improvement to the
great benefit Of the state.
Views along rural postal routes;
wagons stuck in the mud; mail hours
behind because of the bad roads; farmers
practically marooned and unable to get
to market at certain seasons of the year
because of the poor roads-all these
scenes will be shown at the National
Corn Exposition in Omaha, where the
pictures will be seen for the frs. time.
Following the Exposition in Omaha, the
Department Of Agriculture plans to loan
them to fairs and farmers institutes next
year. thus giving thousands the benefit Of
the pictures.

Post Office Notice.

The city carriers are now taking their
vacations, Mr.. John M. Hickman starting
on July 18th.
Owing to the fact that the appropriations
Of Congress were not sufficient to employ
substitutes for all the time carriers were
on vacations. this Office is dividing the
work Of three carriers between two.
which condition will last for about seven
weeks.
The carriers are entitled to their vaea-
tons and trust the patrons will be as
patient as possible in regard to the slight
delays during this period as this seems to
be the best plan under the condition. -
Respectfully.

Cleaning Up

Yesterday evening | sat in the yard
fighting flies and saying nice things about
the city council and health department.
In the intervals which were short won
dered why the society organized q year
or two ago by women for the bettermsnt
and beautifying Of the town had gone
dead.
Typhoid time Is now due. According to
the best authorities the rate increases
and decreases exactly as the flies in
crease and decrease, SO we must now
look for better business for the physicians
and undertaken. also wondered IL the
council had overlooked this very import
ant business-mueh more 50 than person.
al SCRAPS.
We have health officer at the munifi-
cent salary Of $40 month. and an as
sistant, the Marshal. But would It be
quite fair to have this officer soil his
pretty uniform and take chances on hav-
ing the gilt buttons tarnished by the
gasses from the deadly eesspools? There
Is, believe. an ordinance about these
poison and germ breeders. but what It
provided for and defines do not know.
1t would be interesting to have il publish
ed so that we would know how well that
it is enforced. II at all. and II It is no good
it should be repealed.
We had eleaning-up day some time
ago-a fash in the pan, but have fallen
from grace terribly and dropped into the
old groove. Cleaning up day must be
every day il we are to 60 to the front as
a residence town. There are great piles
Of stable manure all over town asd the
open eesspools are very largely in excess
OF the sanitary ones.
The appointment Of an energetic eour-
ageous man. an lshmael. his hand against
every mans and every mans hand
against his. at a good salary for couple of
months would save the city many times
the expense and no..one knows how many
lives.
The Chamber Of Commerce might ap-
point smelling committee to look this up,
but God help the committee.
