B. A. Smith.

Smith were greatly shocked
Wednesday evening to learn Of
his death at his home in Verona.
He had been away from his
position at the prescription desk
at Pound -Kincann on Elkin s
several weeks on account of his
health but no one dreamed that
his condition was critical and
that the end was so near. He a.
rose as usual in the morning but
was soon taken with an acute
attack of indigestion and expir-
ed in the evening.
Mr.. Smith was reared near
Mooresyille and the greater por-
tion of his life has been spent in
Lee county. He entered the
drug business when a boy and
his life was devoted to that busi-
ness, in which he was recogniz-
ed as being without a superior.
In all the walks of life Ben
Smith measured up to the full
standard. The elements were
so mixed in his nature that every
body recognized in him a man in
whom no confidence could be
misplaced, and no doubt arise of
his integrity. his faithfulness to
duty or his loyalty to friend.
His life was one of service to
fellowmen and coming daily in
contact with the sick and afflict-
ed he became more and more
sympathetic in his nature and
there was never a request de-
MED, no matter how much it
taxed him to comply.
In his passing away one OF ma
lures noblemen has been called
to his record. The writer, in
common with many, feels a per-
sonal loss. He would lay over
the bier of his dead friend a tri-
hute of love and admiration. He
will cherish always as a sacred
memory an unbroken friendship
that began in boyhood and grew
warmer with the passing years,
only to be severed by the hand
of death. Dear friend, kind
hearted Ben, goodbye. We will
miss you and shall cherish your
memory ever.
The funeral services occur this
morning at the Babtist church,
Verona. The store of Pound
Kincannon-Elkin Co. will be
closed and members of the firm
will be among the pail bearers.

Rocky Ford Wins Again.

The Rocky Ford High School basket
ball team added another victory to their
already long list, when on last Friday
night, they defeated the centennials Of
Pueblo by a score Of 40 to 81.
The game was fast and full OF life but
never did the Pueblo boys look danger
Gus. for every time they took to throw
inq good baskets and rallying from
the hole, Rocky Ford did likewise. The
first half ended In favor Of the home
team-le to | | and the second half in
the same favor 2l to l6. Every one
enjoyed this game as it was played clean
and there were no disputes over the play.
Rocky Ford made two baskets from fouls
nd Pueblo one. This game closed the
League season at home and so far our
team has never been defeated.

The water seeps from the sand
stone in long continuous sheet
where the stone is broken off form
ing the bluffs. Here it enters the
sand OF the valley country and forms
4 source of supply that cannot be ex-
hausted, and cannot be contaminated.
When water in the Horse Creek val
ley gets below the Box Springs coun-
try 1t encounters 4 flow OF alkali wat
er from Breckenridge creek and after
it passes this point is not nearly as
pure. Any of the projects offering
water from the Horse Creek under
flow, which have their source of sup
plv above the Box Springs hcadgate
should be encouraged to complete
their water system and furnish this
water to Rocky Ford.
There is no possible doubt in re-
gard to the quantity, il is just mat
ter OF the magnitude of the develop
mcnt galleries. \ mile OF galleries
placed most anywhere along the
Horse Creek valley. would develop
enough water for the present use OF
Rocky Ford.
The development OF the Pearl
SPRINGS Water Company will prove to
any doubling Thomas that the water
is there. The u. s. Department of
Agriculture maintains an Office OF
drainage Investigations, and has some
OF the best drainage engineers in the
world on its staff. Some OF these en-
ginccrs pass through Rocky Ford
quite often. and would no doubt stop
off and go over the ground and inves-
tigate the situation il they had an in
vitation from the Commercial Club
and arrangements made for their re-
ccption, As the Horse Creek projects
are only matters on intelligent drain
age the opinion of a drainage expert
should have great weight in the mat
ter.
II the money which has been fool
er away experimenting with Rocky
Ford's water system, had been put
into a good sensible system such as
could he made of the Horse Greek
project. Rocky Ford would now have
the best water system in southeastern
Colorado.
I hope the next city coauncil will
he composed OF the best OF Rocky
Ford's business men who have the III
tcrcst OF Rocky Ford at heart. and
sviros will GO ahead in \ buSincss-likr
maniicr and get a water system for
Rocky Ford that we may all be proud
Of.

Harmony Committee Fails to

PUT IT UP TO
TWO OLD PARTIES
To Call Joint Convention for Purpose
\ Of Nominating City Ticket
If They Can Agree

Despite the belief that nothing would
be gained thereby some fifty citizens
braved the Arctic weather of Monday
evening and gathered at the Rocky Ford
Club rooms in the fcrlorn hope that the
committee appointed at the previous
meeting might be prepared to spring a
pleasant surprise by bringing in report
that compromise had been agreed upon
and the two factions might go INTO mass
meeting and in harmony unite upon a
candidate for mayor.
But the hopes Of the faithful few were
doomed to disappointment as the COM
promise committee was obliged to report
that they had agreed TO disagree.
A final effort will be made by those
who vet have some hope of bringing peace
and harmony out Of the present chaos.
as was evidenced by the introduction Of
. the following resolution. which was un-
animously adopted:
ut Is the sense Of this meeting that

in the last city election call their parties
to convene at the same time and place
for the purpose Of placing IN nomination

As the old parties are all "upin the air"
and the former lions and lambs are now
dwelling in the same fold. there is no
assurance that they can control the pre-
sent situation and in fact there is every
likelihood that new party will enter the
arena in the coming contest for the may

As at the previous meetings the water
proposition occupied most OF the attention
Of Monday nights meeting. and another
solution Of the vexed question along liues
somewhat similar to those advanced by
Alderman Coffman-was offered in a
carefully prepared paper that was read
by Geo. Bryant, In substance this pro-
position IS to utilize the Fowler Pure
Springs Cos supply for our drinking
water. putting in another system for
that purpose. and to greatly enlarge the
reservoir and keep it filed with Highline
Ditch water. which could be furnished
through the present mains for fire and
irrigation purposes. etc. The paper ap-
pears elsewhere in these columns.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1911-02-24

As the time for the sprIn g
election approaches some people mani
fest more lively interest in the water
question than heretofore.
The present city council has. during its
whole term. made every reasonable
effort 10 secure a larger and better water
supply for the city. First it gave Colonel
Faw an optional contract. Faw assured
the council that he had plenty Of soft.
pslatabls water and the capital promised
to develop it and bring it to the city. but
to the great disappointment Of the eoun-
Gil and the people. he utterly failed to ini-
tate the preliminary steps toward the
fulfIlmen. Of his contract. and his option
expired and the council cancelled it.
Then came the Pearl Springs project
Der Of people promising that If the coun-
ell would give them contract there
would be no failure on their part, that
they not only had pure soft spring water
sufficient for this city. but also enough to
supply ordway. Sugar City. swink and
La Junta. and that they would not have
to seek for capital to build the system,
for they had plenty Of their own without
even selling any bonds.
The mayor and council were only too
glad to enter into a contract with them,
the conditions Of which were entirely sat
isfaetory. They said that it was possible
for them to have the water in the city
mains by July 4. and not later than Wat
ermelon Day. This company Initiated
the work towards developing the water
on their lands on Horse Creek and spent
several thousand dollars. resulting in the
securing Of some water. but just as the
people felt assured that the water prob
lem was solved, to the surprise and
great Disappointment Of all. the informa-
ton came that the company had quit work
and abandoned the contract.
The reasons for so doing have never
been communicated to the council
Whether sufficient water Of good quality.
could not be developed. OF want Of money
to finance the proposition. could not be
secured by the promoters DO not know.
Again. 1t was represented by other
parties that there was an abundance Of
good water in the Apishapa. and the
mayor and several members of the coun-
ell made trip to that stream. and took
City Engineer Mark benson with them
and upon examination discovered that
neither the quantity nor the quality could
be obtained there. Other companies and
individuals have como and conferred with
the mayor and council. but none Of tho
negotiations have sesultsd in any feasi-
BILE plan to furnish Sufficient water. A
new well has been bored at considerable
expense to take the place Of old wells out
OF repair. which il is claimed cannot be

After spending several days in Rocky
Ford. Mr.. E. c. Howe. general manager
of the American Beet Sugar Co.. accom-
panied by Mr.. c. R. Hays. purchasing
agent of the company, left for Las AMI
mas on Tuesday.
The visit of MIR. Howe was signiican:
to the welfare of the district. Rocky Ford.
and the company interests-coming as It
did at the time Of the good feeling exist
ing between the business interests, farm
ers and sugar manufacturers-and a
portion Of the time of the official was
spent in calling on many business men Of
the city. renewing old aequaintanees and
making new. Mr.. Hays. handling the
enormous purchases Of the company. fol-
lowing out the policy Of the company to
purchase where possible supplies for the
factory in the towns in which they oper-
ate. was very much impressed with the
conditions that exist, and the business in
terests will not lose by the visit Of the
company o.:;e:a!.
Mr.. Howe's arrival. being simultaneous
with the big snow storm. brought the Ar
kansas Valley conditions to the knowledge
Of the general manager in the best pos
sible light. and he found the farmers and
business men olike very optimistic over
the outlook for the farming industry and
of the industry which he represents. Mr..
Howe expressed himself as being very
well pleased with the outlook Of the Rocky
Ford section. and Of the beet growing
possibilities. particularly since tho advent
of the big snow storm that efeetuaiiy
broke the long drought.
The agricultural outlook Of this section
Of Colorado looks exceptionally good.
said Mr.. Howe. when discussing the
matter. The last big snow fall assures
plenty OF moisture in the ground. and all
of it will go into the ground as il mslts.
The snow also assures more reservoir
water, making plenty for irrigation. which
is the basis OF intensive farming posi-
bilities. The outlook for the beet sugar
industry in the valley is good. following
the very good feeling that exists here at
the present time between the business
men, farmers and the sugar manufae-
turers. and it assures the sdvent OF
further prosperity in the valley.
The officials. accompanied by local men
of the company. left on Tuesday for Las
Animas.
Extensive Improvements Begin
A large force of men is employed at
the factory. making extensive improve
ments on the plant, involving the expsn-
dlture OF thousands Of dollars. These
improvements include the installation OF
a French process Of sulphuration termed
the 0uarez, and the enlarging Of the la
bratory and engineering departments.
The flooring has been torn out Of the
beet end Of the factory to make way for
new filter presses and heaters to bs in
stalled. along with other improvements.
The pay roll distribution Of the 20 men
employed makes large figure every two
weeks that is larger than the usual
amount distributed at inter-eampaign
times.
