The Lawn and Garden
Some Good Advice About Planting Flowers,
Shrubbery and Vines by Prof. Bennett Of the
Colorado Agricultural College.

rbe used to good effect as a bank
against the house, but are much more
work to keep in good shape than
shrubs and are usually best for the
,idc or back yard. While shrubs are
growing, it is frequently desirable to
Jrow the ANIMALS as the aster, etc,
.ither between the shrubs or as a
border.
What plants, shrubs and trees to
| Use depends somewhat on the location
md altitude. There is no tree better
lor Colorado, ZIP to six or seven
thousand feet, than the elm. The
The American, Cork and red elm are
all good and have as few troubles as
any trees. One OF our best all around
trees, particularly where water Is

is troubled in some places by borer

Die may be largely avoided by using
A little care to kill the borers by in

N the hole as soon as discovered. A
little known but promising tree for
his state is the Eastwood or linden.
This tree is of beautiful and symetri-
cal growth and where tried has prov

1t is a common belief that the ma
pies are not adapted to our condi-
tons, yet what evidence We have III
dicates that the Norway maple (aeer
platanoides) is to become one OF our
leading shade trees of the future. The
soft maple grows well for time but
frequently dies before reaching any
great age.
Other good trees are the hackber-
ry. honey and black locust, black wal
nut, the willows and the oaks. The
last mentioned trees are supposed to
be useless for our planting but are
proving extremely hardy after they
are once established. Another tree
that is valuable, especially where
moisture is scarce is the Russian oil
i've. This tree is rapid grower and
makes a beautiful group where its
color .0ight gray) does not make 1t
Objectionable.
All the evergreens are good but
are difficult to transplant, under most
conditions, unless they have been
frequently transplanted in the nur..
sery. All evergreens should be used
sparingly on small places and should
seldom be mixed with deciduous
trees. They are most at home as
screen and then in groups by them
selves.
Among the valuable hardy shrubs
are the various forms OF the Barber
ry, Forsythia, Japan ounce, cornics
or dogwood. Privets. sumachs, ell
dera, spireas syringas or lilacs and
the viburnums.
Two mistakes in planting shrubs
are common. First, the plants are
set too close together; and, second,
not enough attention is given to the
habit of growth of the species SO that
not infrequently we find clump OF
shrubs very badly crowded and the
low growing ones in the center. For
instance. where spireas, prunifolia or
Japan ounce is used with the lilacs.
sumach or berberis, the former spe-
cies should be used as border and
should have at least from four to six
feet OF space between the two spe-
cies.

A GREAT TRIO
Former Rocky Ford Newspaper Men
Are Heard From

Last weeks La Jnnta Tribune had the
following news and comments about some
old-time newspaper men of this city:
Twenty years ago this week A. B.
Gray took charge Of the Rocky Ford
Enterprise and made his bow to the pub
lie. What has become of Gray. who was
the sage of populsm IN Colorado just
few years ago?"
F. B. Van Gundy. of Morton county.
has announced his candidacy for state
printer. He is first class printer. but
the powers will hardly come to the short
grass country for candidate. They
, mover do when the office amounts to
much Garden City Herald. Van. erst-
while of Rocky Ford. Fowler. Manzanola,
Pueblo. etc, very soon now to be state
printer of Kansas"
&c. v. Kinney. former editor of the
Rocky Ford Gazette. who made stren-
uous endeavor to make the sugar metrop-
oils wet after it had been dry for two
years. and who was fined for contempt
for roasting the county court, tossed his
hat in the ring in tie municipal election
in Lake City this spring and was elected
mayor. Lake City is very appropriate
name for wet town. but the brand of
wetness probably won't suit Kinney. He
is something Of stickler for municipal
ethics and will probably have the name
changed to Bourbon City"

WOODMEN PLAN
Big CELEBRATION
To be Held at Fair Grounds
on May %
BASKET PICNIC AND
AFTERNOON Of SPORTS
VIII Be Appropriate Roundup to the
Whirlwind Campaign for Mem.
bers Now Under Way

A couple of weeks ago the Enter
prise announced that Rocky Ford
Camp No. 1876, Woodmen of the
World, had determined upon
campaign for members that would
land a larger class of candidates
than the record-breaking one of
last Fourth of July. Now we have
the pleasure of making public the
date and plans for the final round
up in the whirlwind campaign
for 200 new choppers for the big
log rolling of June Z, to celebrate
the W. o. w. anniversary:
At a meeting of the picnic COM
mittee on Monday night it was
decided to hold the Woodmen
picnic at the Fair Grounds on
Thursday, May 23, and plans were
outlined for an amusement pro-
gram that is only excelled in this
city by Watermelon Day. These
plans will be perfected at the camp
meeting tonight, and will include
a downtown parade by the city
band and uniformed brigade; an
address at the grounds by Head
Consul Boak; basket picnic din
ner in the grove; ball game be-
tween the home and a neighboring
team, followed by an amusement
program, consisting of horse races
and sports of various kinds for
handsome cash prizes contributed
by the camp; the festivities to
close with dance at the hall in
the evening.
A notable exception to the us
ual run of such celebrations will
be that it is free to all and every
one may attend. You do not have
to be Woodman, and all that is
required to assure you hearty
welcome is to take with you bas-
ket filled with good things to eat.
Even this may be dispensed with
as there will be refreshment
booths upon the ground, and any
one who likes may enjoy the games
and sports with the knowledge
that cordial invitation has been
extended to every citizen of the
Arkansas Valley together with his
family and friends.
In the near future the business
men will be interviewed by COM
mittee, with a proposition that all
places of business, be closed for
the afternoon, and the outlook is
favorable that everyone will take
half-holiday and be the guests
of the w. o. w. on Thursday,
May %.

Former Residents Write

The Enterprise this week heard from
three former Rocky Ford families who
are now sojourning in California and
wish their home paper sent to their new
addresses.
From Mr.. and Mrs. J. S. Green comes
the news that they are settled in Chico
and are enjoying themselves hugely.
F. M. Hines writes from San Diego
that Mrs. Hines is recovering and will
soon be all right again. which will be
good news to her many friends in this
city.
And p. J. Reifel writes from Long
Beach as follows; I'VE believe we are
going to like this for resting place. but

looking for better place than Rocky
Ford-that can't be found everything con.
sidered. We will be back in due time
when we get ready for work.

CLEANUP DAY
PROCLAMATION

May First will be cleanup
day in Rocky Ford, and we
call on all good citizens to
help.
Pile your tin cans and old
rubbish up in a neat pile and
the city team will do the
rest. Your manure and old
dirt and ashes you must have
hauled out at your own ex-
pense. Your manure must
be hauled out at once, and
you must keep it hauled out
and not allow it to accumu-
late, because it breeds flies.
Restaurants, butcher shops,
hotels, grocery stores and all
such places must be kept
clean, or you will be reported
by the inspectors, and then
you will be dealt with ac-
cording to law.
This will also apply to all
those who keep live stock,
and in fact to every citizen
of the city. We must pro-
tect the citizens from infec-
tion or spread of disease.
We have the record of be-
ing the healthiest city in the
Valley, and we must main
tain it,

ing in Convention
0TERo COUNTY
DEMOCRATS MEET
Elect Delegate. Who Will 90 Unin-
structed to State Convention
Primaries Are Tame

At the Democratic primaries in
this county last Friday the would
be leaders and newspapers that n
few weeks ago were profuse with
advice to Republicans that the
people be given chance to indi-
cate their preference for president
and later applied the same reason
ing to their own primaries, found
that the people do not take much
interest in such matters. There
was about as much life around the
polls as there will be in the Demo-
cratic party after the election this
fall, in many precincts only the
judges and clerks participating in
the primary.
In the seven precincts in and
adjacent to Rocky Ford but 80
votes were cast for presidential
candidates, as follows: Clark rs,
Wilson ID, Bryan 10, Harmon l.
There was fair attendance of
delegates at the county convention
in X. of P. hall on Monday and in
the main the proceedings were of
the cut-and-dried order, though a
few surprises were. sprung, notably
in the enthusiasm displayed by
Bryan adherents and the chilly
reception rendered a senatorial
aspirant.
The convention was called to
order by County Chairman Phil
born of La Junta, and Thos. FL.
Stratton OF this city was chosen
as temporary chairman and DR.. j.
s. King of La Junta as temporary
chairman. The temporary organ
ization was later made permanent.
Messrs. M'Cauley of La Junta,
O'Connor of this city and Moore
house of Fowler were appointed
the committee on resolutions, and
after short recess brought in
set of resolutions the dominant
feature of which recommended that
the delegates to the state conven-
ton use their best efforts to have
Champ Clark national committee
men chosen.
In the harangue that followed
Mayor Coffman delivered pane
gyric on Clark that brought little
applause: a pedagogue delegate
elected about as much in eulogy
of Wilson, but when a wild and
woolly "dimmycrat" unwound his
lank frame aud announced Bryan
as his choice first, last and all the
time he drought down The house."
This threw damper on the
houn' dawg candidates boom and
n motion by Major Dameron to
substitute the word instruct" for
recommend" in the resolutions
was lost, and the delegates will go
uninstructed to the state conven-
ton at Colorado Springs next
Monday.
1t was decided to try for place
on the national committee, and in
a contest as to who should have
the honor of representing Otero
county Mayor Coffman of this city
lost out to M. r. McCauley of the
La Junta Democrat by vote of
80 to S5.

Dam Sham Conservationists.

Commenting on letter recently pub
lished in REPUBLICAN on the subject OF
attempted water rights steals, the Frank
lin News adds this very forcible piece OF
advice:
when the Shenango river mill own
ers want dam built for Pymstuning
Swamps, so as to make them mill pond
to save coal, they shout "Conseryation"
and try to bunco the taxpayers of the
state into building the dam for nothing
and giving them the benefit. When the
group of exploiters who want tC receive
the water power at Tlonesta as a gift and
sell it back to the public propose to build
a dam that will endanger the lives OF
thousands they yell Conservation :"
Now that there is opposition to the game
1t is natural for us to expect that there
will be an association of exploiters of the
public property in water power, all TO
line up aud cry Conservation" at the
top of their voices. We do not believe it
will fool the people of this Common
wealth. That the conservation" bluff
will be tried at Harrisburg is probable,
but the man, elected to represent the peo-
Pile, who votes for that kind of robbery
will hear from the public in decidedly
unpleasant way. Furthermore, selfde-
tense Is the first law of nature; the men
who try to build dams where they will
repeat the Austin horror will need TO
make them dynamite.proof"

Clarion County To Be Swamped.

A Pittsburg dispatch under date of Sep
tember l6, says:
"Plans involving the construction OF
two lakes, with a combined length equal
to that of Lake George and Lake Cham
plain and coast line of approx imstely
800 miles, were completed here today,
when the Clarion River Power Co. an
nounced, after six years of preliminary
work, that construction was about to be-
gin on its hydro-electric power project in
Pennsylvania. One dam will be erected
half mile from the Allegheny river, on
the Clarion river, and will be $50 feet
high and l,2OO feet long. Thirty-two
miles north, on the Clarion river, another
dam, 267 feet high and 400 feet long,
will be built. The water held back by
these immense structures will cover APP
proximately q, 900 acres. 1t is located in
the counties of Clarion, Elk, Forest and
Jefferson, aud water for the lakes will be
drawn from 2, 100 square miles. 1t is pro-
posed to develop 200 600. horsepower dali
ly, and transmission lines to the Pitts
burg district will be about so miles long
The work will entail the expenditure of
$4,000, 900 and will require two years and
a half to construct"
What will Clarion county and a good
share of the other counties mentioned
amount to after this diabolical scheme is
once consummated, we'd like to know?
What will be the awful result when
these monstrous dealh-traps break their
bounds?

waters of the Allegheny, Monongshela,
Youghiogheny and Cheat rivers. II is
the expectation to erect II dams on these
streams, with numerous dams on the
large tributaries entering them, such as

$50 far, the Pittsburg Flood Commis-
sion is a private concern, born of the
Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce, and
asking the sanction of the United States
government to carry this terrible and
terrifying proposal to a successful con-
clusion."
After all, the Derrick's article does not
reveal all that is back of this desperate
scheme. The same schemers who have
been after the Tionesta creek water rights,
and who failed to get their charters be-
cause the State Water Supply Commits
sion does not have the power to grant the
right of eminent domain, are back of the
whole nefsrious effort, and have already
begun their campaign of educating" the
people up to the point of asking the next
Legislature to pass laws whereby they
may grab every available water power
in the state, and all on the specious srgu-
ment of averting floods and making use
of the power for generating electricity.
And all for the purpose of further en-
riching a lot of multi-milionaires.
Watch and see.
