Arkansas Valley Boosters
Meet in Ii Junta

stration train will be on the road for
y full week.
A resolution was adopted and sent
BY telegraph TO the National Apple
Congress, which was In session In
Denver this week, presenting the
claims of Pueblo as the logical place
Of meeting for the next apple con.
Eress.
In connection with the resolution
the name of IA. b. Dye, of Manzanola,
was suggested as the proper man TO
boost for one of the offices of the
national body. Mr.. Dye is one of
the best informed fruit men In the
state and probably the most popular
booster In the Arkansas Valley.
The matter OF sending the Arkan-
sas VALLEY display TO the Omaha Land
Show was taken up and the offer of
the executive committee to furnish
the exhibit, provided all expense of
Transporting ii TO and from Omaha
and the expenses OF a special exhibit
man be- paid, will be accepted by the
Payne Investment Company, OF Oma.
ha. together with the realty men OF
the Arkansas Valley.
An eleven page typewriter report
OF the success of the association In
making a great and effective display
Of Arkansas Valley products at the
Chicago Land Show held recently in
that city was one OF the most inter.
esting features OF the afternoon scs.
sion. although the fact that the asso
citation had exceeded the financial
speed limit to the tune OF $500 and
would have to levy an assessment Of
an additional $4,000 from the boosters
OF the valley placed something OF a
damper on the enthusiasm engender-
ed. Ia Junsa's proportion win be
about t3eQ-which will be easy for
the local boosters at large Our pres
ent board of directors has hit upon
new scheme for raising funds and
ID very accommodating In the matter
Of providing ways and means.
Late In the afternoon the valley
boosters adjourned and will meet
again In La Junta early In January
To celebrate the first anniversary OF
the Organization with an elaborate
spread st the Harvey House.

November Sugar Beet Payday.

The American Beet Sugar Company
Is distributing this week nearly
quarter OF million dollars beet pay
for beets delivered during the month
OF November. This coy amount Is
finding its way into growers hands

choice OF $3.50 ton flat for

So q ton Tor beets testing sixteen per

u great deal larger distribution than
this year. The amount per acre will
naturally be much larger than In any
previous years owing TO the liber-
aliiy OF the contract.

ars down among the crowd.
Response was made by w. A. Colt,
of Las Animas. who said that he was
highly pleased by the work done by
the organization during the year. and
felt the time had come when the Ar.
kansas Valley Commercial Association
should do all in Its power To aid the
new irrigation projects In the Efforts
to irrigate several hundred thousand
acres Of land. He called the attention
OF the association to the fact that al
though northern Colorado had a small.
er drainage area than the Arkansas
Valley. that they were irrigating over
million and a quarter acres OF land.
whereas the Arkansas Valley, with Its
larger water shed. was irrisating but
a little over half a million acres. when
one million acres could easily be put
under cultivation by the development
OF new projects.
One OF the best features OF the day
WAS an anr4snccment made by W. o.
Skinner. general agent OF the Santa
Fe. to the effect that the officials Of
the company were no gratified at the
great interest taken by the people of
the valley In the recent trip Of the

II was announced one day this week
that the Pueblo and Subur. an Light
ing and Traction Company would com.
mence work upon the extension Of
their line from Pueblo to La Junta
about the first OF the year. They
have already made applications for
franchises to furnish the towns Of
Fowler, Manzanola and Swink with
light and power. which the officials
ordinances authorizing the franchises
are now being published In the news.
papers Of the three towns mentioned
above
An official Of the company says
that II will be prepared to furnish
as high as 100 horse power to manu-
featuring plants. and at a price that
will be an inducement In establishing
small manufacturing enterprises up
and down the valley. He also says
that II Is the intention OF the COM
pany to operate a suburban traction
line from Pueblo TO La Junta and pos
sibly a circle route OF Otero county.
This latter project would aid very
materially in fore stalling county d.
vision, something that the south half
OF the county and especially the coun-
ty seat. is vitality interested in op-
posing with all the power OF which
II is possessed The proposed SUI
burban line project should be given
every encouragement by all the towns
along the proposed route.
