HAIL STORMS
Are Yet Playing Havoc with Crops
In This Vicinity

With marked persistency the siege of
icy pellets still continues until there is
now but very small area, if any, in
this section of the Arkansas Valley that
has been left untouched by the devas-
tating hail. Twice within the past week
has this section been visited by hail
storm, and each time desolation has
followed in its wake.
On Monday evening Fowler, Manzan-
ola and Wietzer were visited by the
hail fiend and great damage was caused
This was some freak of a storm accord
ing to reports which tell of the fields on
one side of the road being riddled by
the hail while those upon the other
escaped unscathed. Then again the
hail cloud would fail to work along Sec
tions of its course and in others the
balls of ice fell in such quantity that
the ground was still covered next morn
ing. The greatest damage is reported
from the vicinity of Wietzer, where
in some cases the growing crops were
almost completely ruined and in the
majority of instances one-quarter of
the crop will be lost.
On Wednesday afternoon hail storm
swept over the Holbrook-Sugar City
district north of the river and COM
mitted considerable damage. On the
Fenton tract it is reported the hail fell
to depth of two inches.

THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
Brochure that is Being Scattered Broad
cast by the Arkansas Valley Commercial Association

The Arkansas valley of Colorado
$50 miles of agricultural opportun-
ity, embracing in its $4,000 irrigated
acres, extending from the Royal
Gorge on the west (where the Arkan-
sas river makes its exit from the
Front range, the Greenhorns and the
Wet Mountains) to the Kansas line
on the east, and fondly known to its
dwellers as the Valley OF Content
offers home, health and plenty,
to thousands yet to come. In this
respect. the largest single irrigated
body of land under one system in the
whole world crop failures are un-
known and ready market and the
diversity of the crops make it the
ideal spot for the city weary and the
nature lover.
You can make living on FIVE acres
raise a family on tcn-save money
on twenty and start bank account
on any amount above this. There
should be a family situated on every
twenty acre tract.
The altitude increases gradually
from $500 feet in the eastern border
or Kansas line, TO $3.50 feet on the
west, and the crops range according
ly from corn, wheat, oats, rye, sugar
bcets, etc, on up through alfalfa,
grains, grasses, cantaloupe, melons
tomatoes, etc. to the far famed ber-
rics and fruits-strawbcrries goose

WATER SUIT
"Reminiscences Of Early Days Mingled
with Dry and Dusty Reports

Some very interesting and reliable
users in the Colorado-Kansas water suit
was taken in La Junta one day this
week. The hearing took place in the
directors room of the Colorado Savings
and Trust Company before Harry C..
Watt, of Denver, referee, and Michael
Finity, George Barr and Alex Best
were some of the old timers who gave
much interesting evidence concerning
the early history of the Arkansas river.
Judge Finity testified that he was the
original Oldest inhabitant of Coolidge,
Kan, arriving in that burg Dec. 4, 1885,
and living there for period of eleven
years. He saw the Arkansas river
every day during his entire residence
in Coolidge and every year during that
time. from September until the follow
ing June, the water in the stream was
no more than six or eight feet wide and
five or six inches deep. At the ford
crossings there was usually stone in
the middle of the stream and any one
could cross the river in two short steps.
During the month of June there was
the regular June rise and until Sep
tember it was very respectable look
ing river, being usually bank full and
in some instances running over. There
were many water holes along the river
from which it was possible to water
stock the year around, During the first
three years he lived in Coolidge, good
crops were raised without irrigation, the
rainfall being similar to that we have
experienced in this section during the
present year, but after that the hot
winds from Texas burned everything
up, and it was not possible to raise any
thing without irrigation, except milo
maize and kafiircorn and broom corn,
which were the staples during the dry
years, and never failed to yield some
kind of a crop. One farmer raised
twenty bushels of wheat to the acre on
twenty acre tract during one of the
wet years, and the next year started
out to make killing. He planted $50
acres in wheat and mortgaged every
thing he had to buy seed and a self
moving machine. The next year he
did not raise enough wheat to buy him
self ticket out of the country and be-
sides that lost all he had.-La Junta
Tribune.

FATAL ACCIDENT
1anznnoIa Young Man Crushed Be.
tween Hay Frames

To the young people of Rocky Ford,
most of whom knew "Dick" Thurlow,
the following account of his tragic
death taken from last weeks Mama
noia Sun, will be of especial interest:
"Hugh Thurlow, who is at present
in the employ of j. C. Keeton, was
seriously injured by being crushed be-
tween two hay racks at Yuma station
on the Missouri Pacific, Wednesday
afternoon.
Thurlow, in company with Gail kee-
ton and ]. V. Hawkins, was loading
hay in a car on the siding. They were
caught In the hail storm which visited
that section of Crowley county We'd
nesday afternoon and one of the teams
became frightened and started running.
Young Thurlow in his efforts to stop
the team was crushed between the two
hay frames.
A hurry call was sent to DIR. Austin,
who responded. The young man was
made comfortable in farm home near
where the accident occurred. Yester-
day afternoon he was removed to the
hospital at Rocky Ford where he sue
cumbed at six o'clock.

GREAT WHITE WAY
Is Becoming a Reality on rlain
Street-CIuster Lights Installed
on North Side

On Tuesday night for the first time
''The Great White Way" was not a
misnomer for North Main street, as
the throng returning from the chau-
tauqua attested by the spontaneous
outburst of that title when they came
within the zone of beautiful light that
cast its refulgent rays upon busy
scene.
After strenuous exertions on the
part of Superintendent johnson of the
Arkansas Valley Railway, Light and
Power Co., the cluster light fixtures
three lights to the pole and four poles
to the block-had been installed thru
out the business portion of North Main
street and upon the evening mentioned
the "juice" was turned on and illumined
that thorofare to the pleasure of all be-
holders.
Orders have been placed, The Enter
prise understands, for the poles neces-
sary to cover the business portion of
South Main street, and these will be
installed as soon as received, so there's
good reason to hope that before Water
melon Day the cluster light system will
be in place and Main street from one
end to the other of the entire business
section will be ablaze with beautiful
white light.
