ACCIDENT
is FATAL
Monte Vista Salesman Killed
In Auto Wreck

AS Z. h. Ridenour was driving
his Ford automobile about five
miles from San Acacio Tuesday
afternoon, he attempted to avoid a
hole in bridge when the car
skidded. The third attempt was
made to turn the car when a por-
ton of the steering gear was broken
causing the front wheels to veer
sharply and throwing it over upon
its back. Ridenour was pinned
under the car, the seat striking
HIM on the back of the neck, kill
ing him instantly.
The accident was witnessed by a
Mrs. Reed who summoned help
and the body was brought to Mon
te Vista. The auto was damaged
but little and was driven here by
John Foster and Amos Mott.
Mr.. Ridenour was born in Allen
county, Ohio, Dec 10Th, 1857, and
at the time of his death was So
years old. He was married in
1886 to Margaret Van Fleet in
Kenton, Ohio. About three years
ago he came to Colorado, removing
to Monte Vista and had lived here
eighteen months, being in charge
of the San Luis valley territory as
travelling salesman for the National
Grocery company of Denver. He
is survived by his wife, who is re-
siding here, and one brother and
two sisters of Ohio. No definite
arrangements have been made
about the funeral as the body is
being held awaiting the arrival of
relatives. 1t is probable that in
terment will take place at Greeley.

DEL NORTE FAIR

Republicans of the standpat
stripe Jared badly in the primary
ann few pieces of the Taft machine
will be saved from the wreck.
The light vote of the Republican
party undoubtedly had much to do
with the defeat of most of the
standpat candidates and it is evil
dent from the small attendance at
the primary that most of the Re-
publicans in COLORADO have no in
terest in what happens to the
party in November. Many of
them will vote the Democratic
ticket to show their disgust for the
failure of Taft and the Republican
party to make good during the last
four years. Pueblo Star-Journal.

MONTE VISTA'S
ADVANTAGES

Become Most Famous

There is not another town or
,itv of 10000 population or less
located in the Rocky Mountain
Raoiop, in the states of Montana,
wyoming, Colorado or New Mex
leo, that offers more or better in
dncements for the establishment
Of business enterprise or invest
ments than does Monte Vista. By
this we mean that considering the
climatic conditions; the attractive
ness of the city and surroundings;
tbe splendid environments; the
uogressiveness of the people; the
Educational advantages; the adj
yantages of strict prohibition; the
thousands of acres of fertile agri-
cultural land surrounding the city;
the future possibilities of greater
Development; the unusual business
opportunities and healthfulness,
all combine to place Monte Vista
in most enviable position, and
second to none as a prosperous
growing city.
This city can boast of having
one of the largest Touring mills in
the State, and one of the big sugar
beet factories Of the west. 1t has
the large State Institution-the
Soldiers and Sailors Home, and
the different religious denomina-
tons have large modern church
edi6ces The merchants and bus
mess men have up-to-date stocks
Of goods, and the city boasts of
two unusually strong banking
Institutions. In fact every line of
trade and business is we'll repre-
sented, but with the wonderful
growth and development that is
sure to come during the next five
years there will be room for more
stores in every line of goods han

land under cultivation near this

There is beginning to be some
talk about adopting the commits

spring for Monte Vista. This is a
business system and in all the
country where adopted, it has be-
come very popular.

40-acre city park could be handled

are not equaled anywhere else in
the United States, because of the
great growth and development
winch Is sure to come in this val
ley during the next few years The
present prices of the good farming
land are now just one half their
real value, and the city property
is selling for less than half the
prices asked for such real estate in
other sugar beet towns.
All that is needed to make real
estate prices equal those in other
irrigated agricultural sections, is
for our farming land to have a
family living on every so or 100
acres, and when this time comes,
the Monte Vista district will be-
come the most famous and pros
porous farming section of Colorado,
and land values equal those in the
other developed localities. This
increased farming population will
cause the number of inhabitants
OF Monte Vista to double, and
where so many new settlers are to
locate, the opportunity for invest
ment is splendid. To the man
who has money to invest we desire
to say, that this much favored
locality has more advantages and
fewer drawbacks than any other
farming section of the west, and
you should investigate these most
unusual opportunities before To-
eating.
