the law might be violated, and in fact
there are several way in which 10
"beat the devil around the stump"
and accomplish the same result as
though the Law were openly violated.
For instance, 1t is just as much a vio-.
lation of the Law to %collusively agree
upon the rate of docka8e as it is to
agree upon the price. or to collusively
agree Upon the grade Of the grain
purchased as it is to agree upon the
price. because the net return to the
producer is dependent upon the grade
and dockage OF the grain, and the
next question which faces the COM
mission is as to whether there has
been any unfair competitive means
used by the elevators complained
against at Eldridge in the matter Of
docking or grading grain purchased
there. 1t Is impossible to raise wheat
OF grain without there being more or
less of an admixture Of foul SEED,
and while q great deal Of this has a
commercial value. and In fact the
members of the commission we'll
know hat when the dirt" is separ-
ated from the wheat it sells for feed
at practically the same price az the
wheat itself, yet before the value of
a bushel Of wheat can be determined.
or in fact before the weight of the
wheat itself a be determined; the
dirt and foul, seed must be taken out.
This Is done by various artificial
methods. many Of which are more or
less imperfect, but by means Of sleeves
and other testing devices it is posi-
BILE to arrive at a fair determination
Of the amount Of dirt to be found in
any quantity Of grain whose weight is
a~scertainable. by taking account of
grain Of a specific weight and run
ming it through the sieves and then
weighing the dirt and the clean
grain separately, It is possible and
practicable to arrive at a ratio by
which tho AMOUNT Of grain in the en-
tire amount of wheat may be deter
mined. The evidence would indicate
in the case al bar that whatever de-
vices have been used by the different
companies at Eldridge, and whatever
results have been obtained. the fact
that different results were obtained
regarding the same Identical grain,
does not tend to prove that these re-
suits were arrived at in any dishonest
manner. but II would appear that in
one case the party testing the grain
for dirt" made q more careful and
exhaustive attempt to get all Of the
dirt out, or had q later and more
improved machine for that
and while the evidence showed that
in one instance at least, the three diff
ferent elevator companies mt Eldridge
tested the same grain for dirt
arrived at radically different results.
yet this commission IL not persuaded
that either party making the test was

later to become the pusher Of a custer

tion he will act the part Of a lord,

A bill introduced in the legislature
by Senator Tobin and providing for
the appointment OF highway COM
missioner who shall be named by the
governor and who shall serve for SIX
years, and providing further for the
transfer of all the internal improve
ncnt funds to the state road fund for
immediate expenditure on the state
roads has been approved by the leg
islative committee OF the Colorado
Good Roads Association. At the
meeting at which this action was ta-
ken every section of the state was
represented.
The committee also unanimously
recommended that there be a board
of five members to be named by the
governor. which board shall act as
an advisory board to the highway
commissioner This board will meet
once month al the capitol, the mem
bers being allowed only a per diem
and necessary expenses.
The proposed bill lcgislatcs out OF
office the present highway commits

Governor Ammons, Speaker Skinner
OF the House and others favor such
bill and its passage will be strongly
urged.
The committee is now preparing
its report for submission to the an
nual convention of the Colorado
Good Roads Association to meet in
Denver January IS and 20. While the
bill has been introduced in the legis-
lature in order to secure early place
on the calendar the convention will
thoroughly consider it. and may make

wise.
The committee Urges every good

state to become interested in this
measure. and with this end in view
all organizations are asked to urge
the passage of this bill upon their To-
cal representatives in the Legislature.
The necessity of other legislation
was also considered. but it was felt
that the good roads organizations
should bend every effort to secure the
passage OF laws providing for the
immediate expenditure OF all funds
on state roads. A bill for state au-
,omobile tax was approved. but no
measures will be urged for passage
which would in any manner affect the
highway commission bill.

HOUSE BURNED
Ed Jones Suffers Severe Loss by
Fire Wednesday Evening

The most disastrous fire for the past
year was that which occurred in the g.
room residence on South Fourth street.
owned by N. J. Miller and occupied by
Ed Jones.
About o'clock on Wednesday even
ing the fire department was called out
and upon arrival at the scene Of the blaze
found that the fire had already gotten
quite start. This. combined with the
low water pressure made the fight very
unequal, and as result the building was
gusted and is almost complete ruin. A
piano and few pieces Of furniture were
saved from the wreck. and this is all Mr..
Jones has left. while Mr.. Miller will have
the $500 for which the house was in
sured.
The origin OF the fire is unknown, as
no one had been in the house all day. the
Jones family having spent the day with
friends in the Thomas addition. while Mr..
Jones was at his usual employment for
the Big Four grocery.

day, Jan. 10, 1888:
Another step in advancement and in
the right direction was taken by the
Presbyterian people in our city last Sun
day in perfecting the organization Of the
First Presbyterian church of Rocky Ford.
1t was found upon investigation that there
was goody number of professed Pres
byteriaas among US. and it was we'll
known fact that there were several famil-
les contemplating coming here in the
being no Presbyterian church here. and
who from this fact might be influenced
to locate where they could find church
of their preference. That induced the
resident members to take the preliminary
steps few weeks ago that resulted in
the above organization. Rev. T. c. Kirk
wood. o. D.. Of Colorado Springs. who
has charge OF organizing new churches
in this portion Of tho west. came here by
invitation. and after carefully surveying
the field expressed his willingness to
assist in planting their new and important
enterprise among US. Last Sabbath being
the time set. fair audience gathered in
Mr.. Capron's hall to first listen to a SER
mon from Rev. DR.. Kirkwood from the
text ION earth peace good will toward
men," showing in simple but foroible
manner how, through Gods plan. tho
church man was to receive the great
blessing. And second to complete the
organization by securing fifteen into its
membership and eleotlng the ruling elders.
A L Kellogg. DR.. L. Huber, j.. c. Kain
and for trustees. NJ. F. Smith. M. B.
Irwin and Emory Robb. When DR.. Kirk
wood. through the power invested in him
oy the Pueblo Presbytery. pronounced the
Presbyterian church OF Rocky Ford or
ganized and ready for the Masters work,
At the evening service the capacity Of
the room was taxed to accommodate the
audience that had gathered to listen to
second sermon from DR.. Kirkwood. His
shall follow me all the days of my life
and | will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever" The close attention of all was
held to the end by his clear conclusive
reasoning. showing him we'll fitted for the
field he so ably fills. The ordaining Of
enc and the installing of three other rul-
lng elders followed the sermon with the
Impressive simplicity known only in such
ceremonies when the spirit of the Master
is most manifest, Tine administering Of
the communion closed the services Of the
day. Altogether very appropriate
beginning of the new church and this new
year"

Must Breed Own Stock.

Our cattlemcn must face the fact
that the southwest no longer has
enough steers to supply the demand
and hcnceforth our cattlenen will be
compelled to breed their own stock.
or go without, says Denver Field and
Farm. AS result the demand for
cows and heifers has grown steadily
for twelve months or more. Half a
million steers can be used in this state
this year, but buyers will be able to
get less than 100000 head and for
these they will have to pay fancy
prices. The new conditions have been
felt less in northwestern Colorado
than any other section OF the state.
as the industry there has always been
dominant and the ranges large. But
the change is also being felt SO that
the cattlemen are bringing i'll heifers
from Utah. These herds will be in
creased as rapidly as possible and as
they will be used exclusively for
breeding purposes. the country will
be independent of outside sources OF
supply within few years.

make them look like champs. and here's
hoping they keep it up
The boys kept up the song Of victory by
defeating the Manzanola quintet SO to ! 3
in well-played game. The local fellows
showed great improvement since the las,
game against Wiley. having good team
work and shooting baskets from Difficult,
positions. The victory over Manzanola
was quickly followed by another victory
Saturday night when the local quintet
travelled to LaJunta and won from the
Santa Fe Apprentices in the best game
OF the season by a score of IA to H..
Although thoroughly tired out from the
game with Manzanola. the fellows gave
splendid exhibition of clean ard fast
basketball. As one of the Santa Fe stars
said after the game. 1t was the eleanest
and best game they had ever played in
their hall.
The showing made in these games gives
Rocky Ford splendid chance for victory

FoReERs AND ROBBERS
Ply Their Nefarious Trades In Rocky
Ford.


Ford.
Through letters on Monday received by
the Peoples Home and Rocky Ford
National banks. evidence came to this
city that smooth forger had recently
been at work in this city. and contrary
to the usual run. the oulprit in this case
appears to have gotten safely out CT the
reach of our officers.
Shortly after the burial Of Mrs. Mary
Kinney on Christmas day man giving
the name Of H. E Estes appeared in this
oity and claimed that he was half
brother OF the dead woman. He called
on 7. F. Dobbs and stated that he want
ed to pay part OF the bill owed by his
prother-in law for the burial of his wife.
and that he would have some money in a
few days. Appearing few days later
he presented check tor Se5 drawn in
his name upon the Glenns Ferry bank of
Gisnns Ferry. Idaho. and apparently
signed by W. C Galloway. In response
to his request Mr.. Dobbs credited the
undertaking bill with $40 and gave Estes
the balance in cash.
On Monday the bank at Glenns Ferry
informed the Peoples Home bank. through
which the check had been sent out. that
no person of the name Of Galloway had a
checking account with them. They stat
cd that the same party was evidently
working in Kansas. as forged checks had
also been received from that state.
1t is evident that the fellow has recent
ly been in the state mentioned in the
letter. as on Monday the Rocky Ford
National bank received from Kansas City
a check for $40 apparently drawn on
them by J. B. Hunt and made out to H.
E. Estes. and this is also disclosed to be
q forgery. as Mr.. Hunt says he never
wrote the check and knew Estes only
from the fact that the Kinney family lived
in a house owned by him. The last
check is said to have been numbered
which made it look better at the bank
where it was presented.
Two men giving the names Of ]. A.
Jukasx and Harry Smith were arrested
Marshal Croop Of Swink at the instance
Of Marsha, Potter Of this city and were
brought here about ten O'Clock Sunday
night.
The men had been roominR at the
Central rooming house on North Main
street and Sunday night another roomer.
J. F. Crs wford by name. complained to
the police that he had been drugged and
robbed and that he suspected the two
young men under arrest as having done
the work.
1t was also learned by the officers that
the young fellows had tried to cash a
check at several places in this city. and
when searched at the station a check for
S45 made out to Crawford. and ap-
parently signed and indorsed by him was
found, which was evidently forgery,
and an examination Of the handwriting
showed it to have been written by Smith.
The fellows were taken to LaJunta
where they were given preliminary
hearing and were bound over to the dist
riot court in the sum of $500 each which
they were unable to furnish.
Examination OF c. w. Williams, the
young forger. whose work was last week
reported in The ENTERPRISE. disclosed
the fact that he had recently been paroled
from the state penitentiary. and employ
ment had bsen found for him in LaJunta
by Jas. X, Dye, the probation officer.
He will be returned to Canon City to
serve out his term.

First Presbyterian church was or
ganized in Rocky Ford, and We'd
nesday being the twenty-fifth an
niversary the eventful date was
observed with appropriate exer-
cises in the handsome edifice here
pictured on that evening.
The church was filed with an
audience that was greatly interest
ed in the fine program presented.
Letters were read from Rev.
Samuel Barber, Rev. Norman
Skinner and DR.. W. l. Davenport
Mr.. Barber was reared in Penn
sylvania, graduated from Lafay-
cite College and Princeton Theo-
Illogical Seminary. He came to
Rocky Ford In September, 1889,
preaching his first sermon on Sept.
%. He was ordained, to the min
istry here. and after doing splen-
did work became pastor at Delta
For long time he has been pastor
at Curwinville, Pa, and his old
friends were pleased to learn that
he was as successful there as else
where.
Mr.. Skinner is now at LasVegas,
N. NJ. His work here was very
brief, but in the short time he had
made great impression OH the
community.
With DR.. Davenport's pastorate
the majority of the people here are
well acquainted, as he gave place
to the present most able pastor,
DIR. j. l., Weaver.
These three were most success
full men and their letters were full
of information and cheer and en-
joyed by all.
A. L. Kellogg read a. very well
prepared history of the 25 years.
He paid tributes to all the men.
but the one most glowing was that
to Rev. Mr.. Mayo, who for seven
wears was the earnest and success
full pastor.
William G. Steele prepared n
paper on the conditions of the town
% years ago. He recalled many
Instances that occurred during the
early history of the church. This
paper was most instructive and in
teresting. Ou account OF hoarse-
ness on the part of Mr.. Steele his
paper WAS read by Mrs. Steele,
and she performed her task we'll
The program was closed with a
most excellent talk by Mr.. John
Ritchie.
From this history it appears
that the first sermon preached in
Rocky Ford was i'll 1880. The
preacher was Rev. Thos. Thomp-
son. d. d., Presbyterian minis
ter of Washington, DC. The first
Sabbath school WAS organized by
Rev. Frederick j. Edmunds, a
Presbyterian minister now at Kin
sella. Alberta, Canada. For a long
time a Union Sunday school was
conducted. The efficient superin-
tendent was Methodist brother,
Mr.. Eastwood.
