Antelope Increasing in Idaho.

Z. J. Palmer, assistant chief of the
United States, biological survey, has
written to State Game Warden Ben
Gray, asking for estimates as to the
amount of antelope and moose in this
state, says the Idaho Statesman. The
antelope are on the increase, accord
ing to information which has been re-
ceived at the office of the game ward
en-, particularly in the Mackay dis
frict, where they have recently been
seen in large numbers.
Despite the protection on moose.
they are still extremely scarce in
this state and are to be found only in
the few isolated valleys of Idaho
which have not been taken I'D by
ranchmen and where they are being
protected by the farmers in the hills
near by.
The antelope are increasing fast in
the state under the protection which
is afforded, and 1t is said they have
Jared extremely we'll for the last few
years with the wolves and other beasts
of prey.

MEETS FIRST DEFEAT
Rocky Ford Base Ball Team Beaten
by Pueblo Athletics

For the first time since organization
the local base ball team met defeat last
Sunday afternoon. The defeat can not
be attributed to the superior playing of
the opposing team. as they scored the
same number of earned runs-two each
during the game. but rather to the glass
arm suddenly developed by Syl Bernard
in the fifth innings and its consequent de-
teriorating influence upon the rest of the
team. Syl was removed from the pitch
er's box after he had given five men their
bases on balls and Bud Hall was sub
stituted. The bases were full when Bud
took charge of the sphere, but he kindly
presented the first man up with the first
sack before settling down to pitch win
ming ball. After this disastrous inning
when seven men scored-only one run
was made by the Pueblo Athletics. and it
was earned. The score was o to a. and
the game, which was good one with the
exception of this one bad inning, was
witnessed by the largest crowd of the
season,
On the home diamond next Sunday
afternoon the locals will meet the Ordway
team. and on Tuesday next they return
the visit and will help celebrate the OPEN
ing of Crowley county with a double

sorlE ROBBERS IN TOWN
rlarshaI Captures Pair But Another
Still at Large.

Last Saturday afternoon Marshal
Tinsley arrested a couple of Mexieans
just as they were in the act Of picking
Ernest Robb's pocket. and he ran them
into the Jail for safe keeping. Shortly
afterward word was received from the
Pueblo county sheriff that the two men
were wanted in Pueblo for robbery and
as he claims to have clear case against
them they will be given into his charge.
On Monday evening Mexican named
Jose U. Baea. who had arrived but a
couple of days before from Walsenburg.
had his moneybelt stolen whileawaitingthe
train for Las Animas. He had left the
belt-which contained SIS in cash and a
draft for $500 upon a bank in New
Menco-in the toilet room at the depot
but a few minutes before he missed it.
but upon his return it was gone ard no
trace of it has yet been received. As he
at once notified the bank Of his loss it is
likely that he can stop payment upon the
draft but it looks as though that SIS is
gone for keeps.

Alfalfa a Hard Task-Master.

This very plaintive complaint
against the obstreperousness OF alial-
ia is so good that we dare to reprint
it. 1t is from an anonymous pen.
"In May, just at the time you ought
to be hoeing your cotton, you have to
go into your alfalfa field and cut the
first crop. 1t sort of worries you, OF
course. but you have to do it. Then
in June. just when you have chance
to go fishing. there's another crop OF
alfalfa to cut, and you don't go. It's
blazing hot in July. and you feel like
you ought to shade some, but you
have to get into another crop OF al
falfa. You are getting tired of the
name of it by this time. In August
you want to go to camp meeting,
swap yarns, have a good easy time
and imagine you have got religion.
But you can't-there's that doggoned
alfalfa again. In September it has al
ways been your custom to visit your
wife's kin folks. but do you do it?
Not much. Confound that alfalfa.
In October you are done with most
other crops and you want to go off to
that Gambling contraption known as
the county fair, and spend some of
your money, but you have to harvest
another crop OF alfalfa. And in No
vember you turn the cattle IN on the
field and they Craze on it all fall. Are
you through then. Heavens no.
You've got to spend all winter feed
ing it up.
Markham makes wall about the
man with the hoe. He ought to shed
tears over the man with an alfalfa
farm. If you want picture of solid
enjoyment, see the man with the hoe
rest upon it. and watch the weeds
grow. But the man with an alfalfa
farmi Is a man to be mere machine
to transform alfalfa into bank ac
count? Is his soul to have no higher
aspirations? Don't be burdened with
an alfalfa farm. If you are tired and
need a rest, if you have all the mon
ey you want, il YOU wish to repose in
deep, cool, inviting shades beside still
waters, lift your alfalfa farm with us.
and we will sell it to some man who
doesn't know any more than to enjoy
seeing the sides of his barns bulging
out; his horses, cattle. goats, and hoos
fat; his wife and children happy and
contented. and himself prosperous.
aside from times of political strife
this is about the only kind of trouble
we have in Colorado, but nobody pays
much attention"

A Surprise All Around.

There were two pleasant surprises at
the meeting Of Rocky Ford Camp No.
1875. w. o. W.. last Friday evening: In
place of the special message from the
Head Consul that the members expected
to hear from Head Manager Hawke that
gentlemen in the name of the head camp
presented the lodge with beautiful set
of officers jewels as a premium for the
record breaking number of candidates
taken in for the term ending July a, And
instead of the mere handful of members
that the head manager expected to see
at this meeting he was greeted by a
crowd of nearly $50. which he said
would set mark that even the largest
city camps could not touch during the
midsummer months.
1t is needless to say that everyone had
a good time and that Rocky Ford camp
is proud of those jewels, which are said
to be the handsomest and most expensive
set owned by any camp in the state.

ORGANIZATION NEEDED.
Or Middlemen Will be Eliminated
Between Producer and Con-
suucr

An article appearing in the recent
year book OF the department of agri-
culture on Marketing of Fruit and
Vegetables contains the following
statement: THE difference in the
price that the association receives for
the fruit and that which the consumer
pays is often one hundred percent or
more higher than the original selling
price and this reduces consumption"
1t is evident that the sentiment of
eliminating the middleman in the pro-
duce business is reaching critical
stage. The Packer" one of the lead
in fruit and product trade journals
of America, makes the following
comment which is significant of the
way the straws are blowing:
The feature in this statement that
should be faced squarely by the
wholesale fruit and produce trade of
the country is: THE difference in the
price that the association receives for
the fruit and that which the consumer
pays is often 100 percent or more
higher than the original selling price,
and this contracts consumption
There is no denying the fact that
there is frequently 100 percent and
more added to the price of fruits and
vegetables between the grower and
the consumer and this sort of thing
all charges to the effect that they reap
more than fair profit and in this
clam they are right. But the expense
of distribution is entirely too high,
just the same, and if fruit jobbers are
not responsive with shoulders to the
wheel to reduce some of this cost the
producer will at least make the effort
to build a bridge right straight across
to the consumer. Indeed, already we
hear a lot of talk of this kind and
growers are hardly to be blamed for
their attitude. They may not make a
success of such an undertaking, and
yet again they may. If the initial un-
dertaking proves a success the posi-
bility OF eliminating the middleman
will have been established.
The marketing method hat admits
of an accumulation of 100 per cent or
more in added cost between the pro-
Queer and consumer is crude. 1t is
not surprising that murmurinos are
heard and it is well that the fruit
trade, with ears, to the ground should
make a note of the signs of the times.
As previously stated, the fruit job
Der reaps only reasonable profit on
general average and therefore is
not "uilty. Sometimes he is heavy
loser. He may buy apples in the fall
at $500 per barrel and nay storage
during the winter only to find glut-
ted condition in the spring; and. in
order to move an oversu"-'-- he makes
price of S2.oo. The city retail deal
er, however, blocks the movement bv
asking $500. perhaps 5000 or possibly
5000 for the barrel that cost him :"
Perhaps this sort of thing has hap
pened to you on storage eggs. butter,
potatoes, citrus fruit or dozen other
items.
The fruit jobber who has to con-
front a problem of this kind claims
he is doing his best and is not to
blame for the exorbitant price charg-
ed by the retail dealer. While not di-
rectly to blame, yet the jobber ought
to begin figuring on solution Of the
difficulty. If he does not some one
else will.

Tomorrow.

The members of the Otero Agricul-
tural club are going to have an exhib-
it from this section at the different
fairs and land shows; and good ex-
hibit it will be, if the plans of that
organization are followed out this
fall. As the club has decidedly got
away" with what it has started to
date, there is every good reason in
the world to look for wonderful ex-
hibit of Otero county, and more espe-
cially Rocky Ford section products.

it meeting next Saturday, and every
member of the club. and also others
interested will probably be present.

the meeting Saturday more details
will be gone into and finances ar

hired to gather the material, as was
done last year by the Chamber OF
Commerce.

oar beet cultivation and irrigation,
and the afternoon was entertainingly
spen, on this timely subject talks be-
ing given by c. J. Cover, D. L.

CANTS ARE MOVING
First Crates Shipped Out on Monday
Denver Gets Them

"The fruit that makes Rocky Ford
famous" began to move on Monday,
when George Samples shipped out two
crates and George Bumgarner and Earl
Hoskin each sent out one on the same
day. Denver got them all.
To the Ebbert Seed Co. goes the honor
of shipping the first standard crate OF
cantaloupes ou. of the state. This crate
was sent out on Tuesday and was con-
signed to Chicago.
Since then several crates have been
shipped. but they are mainly to nearby
points and it is not likely that extensive
eastern shipments will begin before
