FORD COLORADO FRIDAY NOVEMBER 20,
MOOSE VISITS CITY
On Tour of Inspection of Sites For
Proposed Two Million Dollar
Sanitarium

A distinguished visitor in Rocky Ford
on Tuesday of this week was j. j. Da-
vies of Pttsburg, Pa, and incident to
his visit it is possibility that the
50, 900, 600 sanitarium for members of
the Loyal Order of Moose may be To-
Gated in this section of the beautiful
Arkansas valley-.than which there is
no better spot on earth for an institu-
tion of this kind.
Mr.. Davies is member of the Moose
national sanitarium committee, and af-
ter the recent meeting of that body in
Denver-when the selection of sani-
tarium site was indefinitely postponed
he decided before leaving Colorado to
visit Rocky Ford and see for himself
what this city had to offer.
That he might be able to make COM
prehensive report, the visitor was taken
upon an auto trip to the Holbrook coun-
try, where the stipulated amount of
land one Thousand acres-for a sani-
tarium site may be secured at a reason
able figure. Then he was taken to the
Grand and Patterson valleys, where he
was shown the wonderful productiveness
of our soil under irrigation, demonstrat-
ing that comfortable livelihood may
be made upon a small garden or tract
or with few acres of fruit trees. Next
he was taken to the West ranch of the
A. B. S. Co., where it was demonstrat-
ed that stock raising is very profitable
industry hereabouts. The circuit of the
Rocky Ford district was completed at
the big sugar factory. where the huge
stacks of beets that had been grown on
such a comparatively small area were
convincing evidence that intensive farm
ing might be successfully conducted on
a tract like the proposed sanitarium
site.
In the evening an informal meeting
of our citizens and business men was
held in the Elks home. The visitor was
introduced by Mayor Roberts, and in
response to the cordial welcome accorded
him expressed the pleasure that it had
given him to view this section of the
well-named valley of Content" He
waxed enthusiastic in his praise of our
climate, our fertile soil, our water fa-
cilities, etc, and freely gave assurance
that the sanitarium committee would
not select site until every member
had visited Rocky Ford and, like him
self, had filled his lungs with the
balmy, health-giving atmosphere that
surrounds this city.

PAYROLL PADDeR pINcHED
Santa Fe Foreman Arrested Monday
Charged with Carrying Fifteen
Dead Men on Payroll

c. E. Morrison, for seventeen years
in the employ of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railway, in charge of bal
lasting and road repair gangs in Colora-
do, was arrested near this city Monday
by Special Officer Tim O'Leary on a
warrant charging him with padding
the payrolls. He was taken to La Junta
and placed in the county Jail to await a
hearing in the district court.
Morrison was in charge of about $50
Mexicans engaged in ballasting the
Santa Fe main line with Stag between
La Junta and Nepesta. 1t is charged
that during the past five months fifteen
names of dead men have been carried
on the payroll, that timechecks have
been issued payable to the dead men
and delivered to Morrison by the Santa
Fe to be turned over to the men. The
railroad company alleges that these
checks for dead men have been regu-
larly cashed, their names being forged.
Morrison is said to own comfortable
home in Denver and to be in good cir
cumstances. He has family, and is
well known in railroad circles in the
eastern part of the state. His friends
are confident that mistake has been
made in his case and that he will be
able to prove his innocence of the
charges.

APPLE WEEK IN DENVER
Big Mercantile Company Promotes
Use of Colorado Grown Fruit

Denver is this week seeing the most
remarkable apple sale and exhibition in
its history. For the first time since a
white man set foot on the ground that
is now included in Denver, large and
busy department store has set aside a
good portion of its valuable floor space
and spent considerable money in the in
terests of the fruit and agricultural in
dustries of the state. The purpose of
the sale is to assist in promoting the
consumption of Colorado apples and to
get the people in the habit of eating
them.
The Joslin Dry Goods company, which
is known by business men and house
wives in every city and town in the
state, has put the sale on with the CO.
operation of the Colorado Fruit Growers
auxiliary committee, for the purpose of
encouraging the consumption of Colo
RADIO grown fruits and to devise better
marketing conditions for the growers.
Contrary to general custom, the sale is
not being conducted for profit, but every
one of the 1000 boxes ordered will be
sold at absolute cost. 1t is the purpose
of the company to aid the fruit growers
of the state to dispose of as much as
possible of their present surplus crop
and to give the people of Denver extra
fancyapples of different varieties at a
price which will be much lower than
they have been accustomed TO paying.
The apples were ordered from various
cooperative fruit growers associations
in Colorado and are of the highest quail
ity grown. In addition to Immediately
aiding the growers, the Joslin Dry Goods
company and the Colorado Fruit Grow
ers auxiliary committee intend to show
the citizens of Denver and others who
are in the city that Colorado grown ap-
pies are second to none in quality and
should have the preference over apples
grown in other states.
At the same time that the apple sale
is on the Joslin Dry Goods company is
conducting general harvest festival to
celebrate the close of one of Colorado s
most successful agricultural seasons
and to usher in what is generally be-
lieved will be an era of prosperity and
business impetus the like of which Colo
RADIO has never witnessed before. Colo
RADIOS crops this year have not only
been bountiful, but of an exceedingly
high quality, and following them, it is
universally believed, the state itself is
havingSopened to it a business boom and
general revival, the news of which will
be spread broadcast over the entire ma
ton and bring thousands of settlers to
Colorado.

around the store has been decorated

BEET RUST
Is Being Investigated by Experts In
Upper Arkansas Valley

From the Pueblo Star-Journal of last
Tuesday we CLEAN the following:
IS. V. Smith, county agriculturist, re-
turned yesterday from the Unity dis
trict, about nine miles this side of Fow-
Ter, where he went to investigate re-
ports of beet rust. Mr.. Smith stated
that the rust had seriously affected the
beet crop in some parts of the Unity
district. In some instances the crop was
decreased 80 per cent. The rust had
affected the beets to the extent that
two and sometimes three sets of leaves
had been put out, the beets not grow
ing to their usual size by half. Beet
rust is almost unheard of in the Arkan-
sas valley. 1t is attributed as largely
due to an unusually wet season. The
remedy is to change the crop on the
ground where the rust occurs and to
guard against purchase of seed from an
infected district.
1.-The government has sent specialists
to Unity to investigate the rust and to
assist the farmers in preventing any
spread. The rust, so far, has occurred
in small spots in different fields and the
aggregate loss will not be large.

Death by Drowning

]. NJ. Shaulis on Monday lost ten
months old registered Holstein bull for
which he had recently been offered
$3.50. The animal some time during the
day had gone down to the Otero canal
for drink and in attempting to return
to the pasture had gotten stuck under
an overhanging ditch bank in such man
ner that it could not extricate itself,
and was dead when found by Mr..
Shaulis that evening.

DELUXE TRAIN
VIII Resume Service on the Santa Fe
on January S

Topeka, Nov. THE fourth ami
versary of the Santa Fe deluxe will be
celebrated on January 5, when the first
deluxe train of the season will leave
Chicago for Los Angeles. Although
only four years old this coming January,
it is decidedly lusty infant and is rap
idly gaining in popularity. according to
J. NJ. Connell, general passenger agent
of the Santa Fe. Advance reservations
of space well into January have already
been made.
1t is operated once week in the win
ter time for those who like superior SER
vice and are willing to pay for it.
"It supplies longfelt want, says
Mr.. Connell, land is supplementary to
our California Limited, which runs every
day in the year. The Santa Fe is not
selling speed in connection with the de-
Luxe, but service. Most extra-fare
trains in the east are operated with the
idea of making the quickest time possi

one of the fastest trains from Chicago

slxty-three hours, is primarily a train
of service, with barber, valet, manicure
and stenographer as typical examples of
its conveniences. There are also bath
ing facilities, stock market reports are
handy and the latest world news is pro-
vided in telegraphic bulletins. Instead
of the usual custom of sending walters
through the train calling the hours at
which meals are served, the steward in
charge quietly announces this fact to
each passenger as the meal proceeds. :"
The equipment is all-steel, and con-
sists of ten-section Pullman observa-
tion, two all-drawing-room Pullmans,

vey dining car and buffet-library car.

The removal of the quarantine will
mean a considerable saving in expense
to the sheep and cattle men of Colora-
do who have heretofore been compelled
to go to the expense of dipping all
stock shipped west of this state for
feeding purposes. Some stockmen
have avoided dipping their stock sent
to the market for butchering by ship
ping in quarantine, but for the most
part all have gone to the expense of
dipping their stock and thus complying
with the quarantine regulation.

DEWEY DILLON DEAD
Noted Animal Goes to Happy Hunting
Grounds on Tuesday

Despite the best efforts of veterinary
skill Dewey Dillon, the noted racing
stallion owned W. r. Dye passed away
at an early hour on Tuesday morning.
The malady that caused Dewey's de-
mise, though unknown, was remarkably
virulent, as the animal was first seen to
be ailing on Monday morning. and with
out an apparent change in temperature
or fever of any kind he rapidly weak
ened and in less than twenty-four hours
rigor mortis had intervened.
Dewey Dillon was brought to this
city by Mr.. Dye some five years ago,
and each racing season found him win
ming valuable stakes for his owner upon
the different racing circuits of the
mountain states. He was beautiful
beast, the admired OF all beholders, and
his owners sorrow at his death may be
imagined.
To private burial ground north of
the river Mr.. Dye conveyed the remains
and in cement vault that had been
prepard the form of Dewey Dillon was
laid away with appropriate rites.
While excavating for Dewey's grave
Mr.. Dye exhumed human skeleton
which had apparently lain undisturbed
for number of years, and he has the
skull and some of the bones, which
may be had by the yellow reporter who
cares to use them as evidence of a
bloody crime.
