Busy shipping Season

The railroad yards In Ordway pre-
sent one OF the busiest sights to be
seen along the line between Pueblo
and Hoisington. Rams. The yards are
full Of cars, there being as many AZ
Is and 100 refrigerator cars 10 the
yards at one time.
A switch engine IL kept engaged all
the time to handle the work aud the
railroad men can not keep up with the
business. Agent w. W. Spivy has
been unable to leave his work until
and I o'clock in the morning even
after working all day. The Missouri
Pacific believes in making one man do
the work Of two or three, at least
that Ia the case since the cantaloupe
shipping season has started here. 1t
works hardship on the shippers and
growers as we'll a. the railroad men.

that has not happened before. be-

To marked degree within few days

In an interview with W B. Rule.
manager for the interests here OF
Crutchfleld s. Voolfolk he said:
I THE latest reports from my nrm
are to tue effect that the cantaloupe
market u rotton everywhere. The
selling agents 10 the various markets
are complaining that IL Is not u quest
Ion Of price but the ability TO lind
buyer, that the homegrown" supplies
are still very heavy and the demand
very limited as we'll a. the weather
conditions being unfavorable. 1t
looks 1t present that an advance OF
crate material and freight charges
even would be losing proporitioa.
II express IL as my personal opinion
that the markets will improve to u
certain exteut after the homegrown"
supplies are out Of the way. Our
growers at Rocky Ford have decided
TO discontinue for few days which
will also tend to have q strengthening
effect on the market little later,
but on the whole the outlook Is not
bright.
my company has taken the position
II has purely because Of these con
ditions. We would bs only to glad to
be able to care for the entire acreage

Purposes Of the European War

The motives Of the contestants in the pres ent Europ
pswss may be described as follows:
On Asttas paxt II is mainly indignant resolve to
punish Sava feea supposed conspiracy leading to the
Of the Austrian prince partly an ambi-
ton TO annex Serva to the Austrian empire Bosnia
and Hef1egovina had been previously annexed, partly
desire to secure port the Egean sea for the de-
velopnsut of Austrian commerce.
Il u Sva's purpose to preserve her national exist
ence and perhaps to add to her national power and
prestige ~ annexing Bosnia and Herzegovina
The motive Of Russia is to secure for herself if any
partition 81 the Balkan states results from the war,
share In a parttion and longdesired access to the
Mediterranean well to protect her kin in the
Balkan stetas from the Austrians
Germanys purpose is to settle some long stand
ing TROUBLES and protect against future appre-
hended ny1sion by Russia and possible attack from
France Germany believed she had things to set

lump sums one time Her purpose is partly to aid her
Germ Ally in her expedition against Servia and
partly ~ cure through Austria and Servia to

It Is Beeium's object merely to preserve her neu-
tralty aG1tnst Invasion of Germany.

They can not see fit.to prepare their
melons for shipping with nothing
more than the crates and freight al
lowed.
Just how long these conditions will
exist is probiemstical, but II is
generally believed by both the grow.
ers and commission firms that the
market will improve within the next
few days. The claim is that the
eastern markets have been flooded
with ''home-grown" melons from
Indians, Illinois. and several other
eastern states, and that this together
with the fact that the Rocky FOrds
aud Pink Meats are going out At the
same time, has flooded the markets
As q rule the Pink Meats are q little
later than they are this season with
Rocky Fords earlier thau this year
Shipping this season 10 the two dis
tricts started at about the same time,.
congesting. according TO the com.
mission men, the markets every
where.
Last year at this time there we're
but about tredty car loads Of melons
shipped FROM Crowley county. Up to
Wednesday night Of this year there
were 100 car loads. With an average
of 100 crates TO the car the shipments
other than express have amounted to
1876. 900 crates with express shipments
the nrst week OF the rIpening OF the
melons quite heavy. Express ship
ments are still going out but not 80
lively as they did last week.
Returns from the car lot shipments
to the New York, Philadelphia and
other extreme eastern markets have
not been received BY the commission
men yet but will be 10 by Sunday or
Monday.
Advances have been taken on the
Rocky FordS in the district across the
river, however, there we're large
number of cars sent out yesterday.
Representation OF the different COM
mission drms had the following to
say In statement made yesterday.
1.-The market conditions In the east
are very bad" stated Fred Hilvert Of
the firm OF 8. A. Gerard & Co." This
Is on account Of the enormous supply
Of "home-grown" melons. Our sales

1t will not he long until q court

present temporary quarters are not
only Inadequate for the business Of

10 the proper manner. and II would
not be wise To 70 to any more expense

ofices were established.
Among the locations suagested is

very much opposed to spelling beau.

be. They contend that since II has
taken years to get this park TO the
