The mayor and all members of
the city council were present at
the adjourned regular meeting
last Friday evening and consider
able business was transacted.
The first important matter was
discussion upon the opening of
East Walnut avenue, that had
been hanging fire for many moons
and in fact had gotten into the
courts for adjudication. At last
the street and alley committee
recommended that the city pay
5000 for the north 25 feet of Mrs.
Wheat's lot and also bear the ex-
pense of laying a walk along the
north side of the remainder of the
lot, and it was moved and carried
that the report of the committee
be adopted. The city attorney
was instructed to represent the
city in conducting the deal and
afterward to dismiss the case in
the court. And this apparently
ends the trouble over making a
thoroughfare of Walnut avenue.
The matter of purchasing
typewriter for the city was laid
over.
1t was moved and carried that
the mayor represent the city
at the stockholders meetings of
the High Line and Catlin Canal
companies.
Reports of the various officers
were read and ordered filed,
1t was moved and carried that
the sl4 due Harry West be appli-
ed upon the account due City At
torney Minor.
Bills to the amount of $1,000
Just about $500 more than the
city revenue for the month, be it
remembered-were read and al
lowed.
The request of George Meador
to hold rattle within the city
limits, was refused.
FL. l.. Swink appeared before
the council with a request that no
billiard or pool room be allowed
to sell cigars, ETC., on Sunday, and
the marshal was instructed to see
that the ordinance covering same
be hereafter enforced,
Bud" Hall requested that side
walk to connect with his lot on
North Seventh street be ordered
in, and the matter was referred to
the street and alley committee to
investigate and report.
And the council then adjourned.

THAT FOOTBALL GAME
AS Viewed by the Sporting Reporter
of The Enterprise.

Beef alone and nothing else won the
game for Lamar over the Rocky Ford
High school last Saturday. Although
Lamar played good foot ball. their super
ior weight of about rs pounds per man
was the only advantage they had over
the home team.
Rocky Ford received the kickoff the
first quarter but lost their downs. La
mar nearly scored on very fake pass.
but were forced to drop kick and missed
goal. The High school put the ball on
play by sorimmage on the twenty foot
yard line. Rocky Ford started punting
game which she kept up throughout the
first half and more than held her own
with Lamar along that line. Cover and
jackson out-punting Strong. Lamar was
forced to punt but recovered the ball and
nearly scored on an end run on the next
down. Strong was sent through the line
and scored the first touch down but
missed goal. The quarter ended with
the score to o,
The second quarter was repitition
of the first quarter for Lamar scoring
another touchdown en- a fake end run.
Cover punted on the first downs and by
the most plucky playing our boys kept
Lamar from scoring again in that period.
Score of first half l to o.
Rocky Ford kicked of at the beginning
of the second half and forced Lamar to
punt. Our boys began series of plays
to advance the ball. Cup, Ritchie and
jackson were in turn sent through right
tackle. each time for big gains. Ripper
and the two Swinks having cleared that
whole side of the line and surprised two
of the big Strongs. Forward punts were
tried to both Swink and Lawrence but
failed. and Rocky Ford was forced to
punt. Rocky Ford now had Lamar on
their own territory, but despite our boys
nervy playing they could not stop La
mars 1870 pound back field, and Lamar
scored another touchdown after missing
try at field goal. Rocky Ford chose to
receive the kickoff whenever she could
and held Lamar the remainder of the
third period. The score. 6 to o.
The fourth period was the most disas-
trous for our boys. Pounded into jelly
by their heavier opponents and playing
Ioosing game. yet they never Stacked
their efforts until the last whistle. Time
and again Strong made big gains through
the line, scoring one touchdown and
Easton went around left end for two
more but kicked only one goal. The
final score was So to in favor of La
mar.
The main feature of the game was the
clean playing by both teams, Easton
starred for Lamar with Strong close
second. while Rocky Ford had twelve
stars with no choice for first place. The
superior training of our boys was in evi-
denee throughout the game, as shown by
their running down under punts, buekinR
the line with odds against them and
tackling. Whenever Rocky Ford tackled
a Lamar fell to the ground with force
that put him out of business for the time
being.
Rocky Ford High School plays the Al
umni on Thanksgiving. The proceeds OF
this game will be used to purchase sweat
ers for the team. The Alumni is prac-
ticing faithfully and good game is as
sured.

FARMERS CLUB
HAS Big Meeting
Hears Instructive Talks on
profit in Sugar Beets"
ARRANGE FOR
INSPECTION TRIP
TX ough the Valley by Automobiles
to See Conditions Under the
Various bitches

.
of the Otero Agricultural Club
was held at the usual place last
Saturday afternoon with an at
tendance of Al and Z visitors. The
unusually large attendance gives
evidence of the increased interest
being shown in the meetings.
SNse subject for discussion Sat
urday was "The Profit in Sugar
Beets," and there were eight farm
ers on the program, ranging from
the grower with a small acreage to
the largest acreage growers in the
district.
S. A. Taylor, superintendent of
the A. B. S. Co. farms, lead off by
giving the details as to how he
was making the ranches Of the
company profitable. w. H. Allen
made very telling speech, prob
ably the most interesting, instruct
i've and stand up for Rocky Ford"
talk ever made before the club.
Sam Taylor, large beet grower
of Avondale, followed Allen. Mr..
Taylor has kept a complete record
of his expenses and receipts dur
ing the ten years he has been
growing beets. He owns no horses
of5land, but rents his land and
hires all the work done. After
giving an itemized statement of
expenses incurred, he showed the
club a net average profit of $34 20
per acre for beets grown, and a
much smaller return on oats, beans
etc., produced by him. Other
speakers were A. P. Kouns. Claude
Swink, A. L. Hadley, John Edgar
and Glenn Ryan, and the meeting
was an exceptionally good one.
All farmers are invited to attend
the next meeting of the club, on
Saturday, Dec. 2, and hear the
subject "The Insects and Plant
Disease Problems" discussed. Prof
G. o. Townsend of the Department
of Agriculture will deliver an ad-

the club members an invitation to
make a visit of inspection of the
beet dumps and conditions under
the different irrigation projects up
the valley to Canon City.
The invitation was accepted, and

James Ryan, John Edgar, j. M.
Shaulis, Charles Kouns, S. Taylor,
Alex Yant, Henry Ball, A. l.. Had

The party reached Pueblo on
Tuesday evening, after very in
teresting and instructive trip. On
Wednesday the big nine-passenger
car got fractions and snow storm
developed SO the trip further up
the valley was given up for the
present and the party returned
home, all of them declaring that
they had learned something that
would many times over repay
them for the time spent and ex-
panses of the trim.
