Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is the greatest business
asset In the world. 1t beats money
and power and influence. Single
handed the enthusiast convinces an
dominates where the wealth accumula-
ted by small army OF workers would
scarcely raise trem0r OF interest. En-
thusiasm tramples over prejudice and
opposition, spurns inaction, storms
the citadel Of its object, and like an
avalanche Overwhclms and engulfs all
obstacles. 1t is nothing more or less
than faith In action. Faith and In
itiative rightly combined remove mou
infamous barriers and achieve the un-
hcardOf and miraculous. Set the
germ OF enthusiasm ailOat In your
plant, in your Office, or on your farm
itspreads like contagion and inlluens
every fiber OF your industry before you
realize 1t; it begets aud inspires effect
you did not dream OF; IT. means In
crease In production and decrease In
costs. it means joy and pleasure and
satisfaction to your workers; IL means
life, real and virile; it means spOnl
tancous bedrock result-the vita
things that pay dividcnds-IIenry

WM. MCNEIL KILLED

Early Wednesday morning word
came from Pueblo that the body OF
VIM. Mcneil, who has made Ordway
his home for many years, had been
found by Walter Robertson, u switch
man, lying near the tracks south Of
the viaduct. Death was no doubt In
staneuus for the switch engine which
passed over him almost severed the
head from the body.
Mcneil had been in Pueblo since
Mondays Whether unknown parties
are responsible for his death or not
will probably never be known. He
was supposed to have had some money
on his person and might have been
drugged, robbed and then thrown on
to the. tracks.
For many years Mr.. Mcneil has
been In charge OF the Pueblo Gun
Clubs property on Lake Meredith and
was well and favorauly known by its
members and also by the people Of
Ordway.
He was last seen by friends when
Perry Dunlap left him at the station
and supposed he would take the six
O'Clock train for Ordway. Nothing
more was seen OF him until his NUT
ilaJed body was found at three o'clock
on the following morning.
He leaves widow and one daughter
Miss Myrtle. who have the sympathy
OF host OF friends in this community
in their sad bereavement.
Funeral services were held in the
Evangelical church Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock, attended by the Wood
men Of the World. of which order the
deceased was a member. The Women
OF WoOdcraft also attended in body.

TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS

The work OF improving the tele-
phone lines in and around Ordway
which was started some months ago
by the Colorado Telephone company Is
nearing completion and will cost the
company over 100000.
1t Ia a matter Of great Importance
to Ordway and gratifying to our citi-
zens for the equipment Is now fully 5
years In advance OF the town and the
company will have very little work to
do on the lines for many years to come.
The alleys all over town carry cables
containing over 100 wires encased in
lead which lessons the danger from
electricity aud improves the service
wonderfully. New poles supplant the
old inferior ones all over the system,
not one OF the old ones remaining. a
coat of paint has added much to the
appearance OF all poles and cross arms
and the butt Of each pole covered with
creosote before being raised.
The new switch board which will be
dedicated next sunday is beauty
and is provided with positions for two
operators aud will accommodate 200
phones. The best known means Of
locating trouble on the lines has been
provided, as we'll AS facilities for cor
rectlng the troubles In the shortest
possible time. A new method Of test
ing the lines will also aid the linemen
greatly In their work and make less In.
convenience for the patrons.
Many new wires have replaced old
ones on the rural lines and better pro-
tection In case Of storms provided.
The new offices will be arranged
conveniently for managers office.

We estimate that Colorado will turn
OF ut least 1000 carloads OF apples this
year. The western slope will send out
at least $500 carloads and the Arkan-
sas valley will have better than thou
sand carloads. Around Denver and
north to the state line the crop is not
as heavy as usual owing to the late
spring freeze and yet we will have a
good many apples Of the very best
quality to sell. Some orchards were
saved by the use OF smudge pots while
Others came through merely because
of favorable location and backward
condition of the buds at the critical
time. Take the state over and the
fruit will be of the best size and quail
ity ever turned off.-Field and Farm
