According to the present estimate OF
the amount Of bee.s yet to be worked. the
leoe-lo campaign at the Rocky Ford
sugar factory will close on or about Jan.
IL.
Until the last few days it had been
hoped that the beets which were frozen
into the ground at the beginning Of the
zero weather last November might yet
be saved. but that hope has now been
abandoned, and the 1000 acres Of beets
which il is estimated are still in the
ground in this vicinity will be virtual
loss to the growers. 1t is said that the
farmers in the Hoibrook country are the
heaviest losers in this neiRhborhood.

BIG POULTRY SHOW.
State Association Meets in Denver
Next Week.

January is the month of the big
shows which are held in Denver and
which attract people from this and
surrounding states. The Apple Show
heads the list this year, followed by
the great Western Stock Show. Then
comes the show which is attracting
more attention this year than any
heretofore held. and which bids tair
to rival the stock show in importance.
This is the coming show of the Colo
rado State Poultry Fanciers Asso-
citation, to be held the week of jan
.uary 18TH.
4 year ago this association was re-
organized and incorporated and men
put at the head who are giving their
time and money to make the annual
Poultry Show what it should be. the
one big show of the year, and while
they do not hope to do this all IN
one year, the coming show is assum-
ing proportions beyond which they
hardly hoped to attain in one single
year.
Handsome silver cups and cash pre-
miums to the value of $4,000 are Of
fered for competition. Besides these
many special premiums are offered
by various breeders and others m
terested in this industry making the
show a very attractive proposition to
fancicrs entered for competition.
A large, light room, centrally loeat'
ed, has been secured for the exhibit
an it is to the interest of every one
those to whom a fowl is 'jes' chick
en-" and those who call them birds,
to attend. 1t makes no difference
how much a person knows Of feather
dom, there is always something tt
learn in show room.
Poultry, considered by so many tc
be only side issue, is beginning tt
attract the attention of the capital
ist, and it is becoming general,
known that the pure blood hen lay:
more eggs and is far more profitable
in every way than the scrub. just a.
it is so with any other stock.

that Il should be worth FIVE dollars per

WATER CONTRACT
Still IN THE AIR
No Agreement Reached With
Pearl Springs Water Co.
COUNCIL TABLES
THE PROPOSITION
Because Of Request that the City
Grant the Company Ninety
Day Option

Because Of Request that the City
Grant the Company . Ninety
Day Option
The hope Of the people Of this city that
the momsntous water question would b
settled has again been blasted and the
present outlook Of an early settlement Is
about as murky a. Arkansas River
water. The proposition Of . definite
water supply is again as unsettled As the
fund now running in the city water mains
and the onerous Of blame can not bs
laid upon the council.
As the Enterprise told last week .
good majority Of the council had every
reason to expect that contract with the
Pear! Springs people would bs accepted
at their meeting last Friday night.
They mad given the city attorney instruct
tons to prepare . contract virtually in
accordance with the proposition made
them by the Pearl Springs people. and
this contract was to be submitted at FRI
day nights meeting for approval.
And the contract was there all right.
but so were representatives Of the Pearl
Springs Co.. who sprang request that.
If it didn't knock all negotiations in the
head, at least put them in the same con-
dtion as our artssian wells-temp orariIy
out Of commissioned to all intsnts as
nearly ready for the junk pile as the city
pumping plant.
The company requested that they be
given a eo-day option before entering
into definite contract, and the council
promptly tabled the question. and so
there's no contract and a rather poor
outlook that there ever will be one with
the Pearl Springs people.
1t appears that the reason that this
option was asked was because Of the re-
fusal of the financial hackers OF tho
scheme to "come through" with the nee
essary funds until they were assured
tina. the company had the pure mountain
water to supply the demand. In other
words they asked to 'be shown and the
company at the present tune couldn't
make the showing.
u. Stanley of Manzanola. who is now
representing the Faw underflow propo ST.
tion.also appeared before the council with
a few queries. He wished to know about
how much water the city required and IT
the council would receive another propo-
sition. He was given an estimate Of the
daily supply necessary and his last aues-
ton was answered in the affirmative.
A communication was read from Chas.
Mevey. the artesian well expert. in which
he gave an estimate Of the probable cost
Of sinking new well. as well as upon
the expense of changing the pumping
plant from gas-produeing system with
air-eomprsssor attachments to a steam
plant with direct lift. He also expire ssed
the opinion that the new well at the plant
was not dead but balky through eorrosion
Of the casing. and the council at once 60:
busy and instructed Mr.. MeVay to get
busy" and clean out the well at once
Then they adjourned to meet again TO-
night.
