DROWNED IN DITCH
Seven-Year-Old Girl Loses Life In
the. High Line Canal

While playing with some other child,
rem upon footbridge crossing the
High Line canal near her home, about
a mile south of Manzanola, on Sunday
afternoon, the little 7-year-old daugh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Blakely, fell
into the rapidly-fowing stream.
When the alarm was raised by one OF
her little playmates and men reached
the scene of the accident the girl had
long since disappeared, and altho the
search was taken up at once by the
people of Manzanola and vicinity an6
squads of men lined the ditch banks
with every conceivable kind of grap-
pling implement, it was almost twenty
four hours after the accident that the
little body was found fully five miles
below the point where she had faller
in the ditch.
The tragic affair caused great ex'
citement in Manzanola and along the
canal, and intense sympathy over the
outcome is extended the heartbroker
parents, not only by their neighbors
but by many friends in this city, where
the Blakelys formerly resided.

Breed Only the Best

The Development Of the increasing de-
mand for well-bred dairy cattle is based
upon the recognition of the fact that
under present production conditions. the
counterfeit dairy cow has no place on
the pasture or in the feed-yard.
During the past few years. difficulty OF
replenishing and starting herds with good
animals has con nfronted the dairy farmer
at every turn. High feed bills have
demonstrated the futility Of expecting
satisfactory returns when keeping poor
producers, and the wide-awake, pro-
gressive. business dairymen are centering
their demands on merit. Of which there
must be greater supply to ,meet this
demand. Foreign n'competition has erea-
ted we'll grounded impression tnat the
most effective way Of evading Il is by
greater production per animal and better
products.

v0LUMIN0US EVIDENCE
Has Already Been Taken in Kansas
Colorado Water Suit - Rocky
Ford Men Are Testifying.

The Kansas plaintiffs in the Colo
rado-Kansas water controversy have
gathered 1000 folio pages of evil
dence, while the Colorado defendants
have only 1000 pages. But the de-
PENDANTS are busy and when their ev-
idence is all in the case will be one
of the most voluminous in the his
tory of water rights litigation in
America.
Hearings of the water suit were
on Saturday adjourned for two
weeks, after several days had been
occupied in the taking of testimony
that it is claimed will greatly
strengthen the case of the defend
ants,
An important witness last Friday
was Andrew Nicholes OF this city,
who testified regarding the early con-
ditions of the Arkansas River in
Kansas and the effect OF the irriga-
ton as practiced in Colorado.
Nicholes stated that in the early
history of the two states the Arkan-
sas river was dry good portion of
the summer in Kansas and that irri-
CATION in Colorado insured stcadier
flow of water in the river all year
round. he water used to lrrigate
Arkansas Valley farms eventually
finds its way back to the river and
more water is flowing now than there
was years ago, Nicholes asserted.
Another star witness for the de-
fense was William Simon of Rocky
Ford, q former resident of Garden
City, Kan. He discussed the condi-
ton of the Arkansas river in Kansas
as it was before the present amount
of water was being taken out in Col
orado for irrigation purposes. and
compared the river in Kansas today
with the river OF Is to 80 years ago.
He claimed that there was even more
water passing down the river thru
Kansas today than there was before
the big storage irrigation systems of
Colorado stored the water in the wet
season and discharged it during the
summer.

COLORADO PROSPERITY
VIII Be Feature of Coming Interna'
tiouaI Dry-Farming Congress

A mammoth "lel5 Prosperity Cele
bration" will be one Of the leading feat
ures of the International Soil-Products
Exposition to be held in connection with
the international Dry-FarminR Congress
at Denver. on Sept. 2z-Oot 9.
This great celebration will continue
thruout the Exposition period and will
find climax in a great parade of 200 or
more floats which willtypify the resources
Of the state and the wonderful prosperity
which it enjoys this year. Every phase
of Colorado prosperity. her industries.
agriculture. scenic wonders and healthful
climate will be represented in appropriate
form by foa Is in this huge parade.
That the "l9l5 Prosperity Cele.
bration" will be great success and that
1t will be one. Of the most interesting fea-
lures OF the Exposition goes without say
ing, and it is likely that it will become
a permanent annual event.
Colorado prosperity will fairly overflow
the bounds of precedent this year. 1t is
no more than fitting. therefore. that the
banner crops, which are now assured,
the wonderful mining development. the
made in developing the wonderful
mountain park system all these good
things. should be celebrated IN such a
manner as that proposed.
A more propitious time could scarcely
be chosen than during the great Congress
and Exposition this fall. During this two
weeks period many thousands of people
will visit Denver. and are sure to be i'm
pressed with the many advantages pre-
scented by Colorado to the settler. These
people will come from every state in the
Union, from the provinces Of Canada, and
from about twenty foreign countries.
They will see the wonderful resources OF
Colorado exemplified in the great ex-
position. they will see the enthusiasm OF
her people as displayed in the prosperity
celebration, and they will spread abroad
the slogan that it is indeed "a privilege
to live in Colorado.
Every community should get behind
this movement to boost Colorado and
bring the Columbine state before the
eyes Of the world in the best possible
light.

For the information of the readers
of The Enterprise who desire TO know
something about the talent with
which we are to be favored during
our Chautauqua-beginning on June
Is and lasting a week-we herewith
append report by Manager Horner:
THE Chautauqua program of this
circuit for 1915 is to reach the high
est point, we think, in popular ap-
proval OF any other of our nine years
experience. Looking back over the
years it is not too much to say that
some of the greatest lecturers and
entertainers of America have been Of
fered on this circuit.
Thousands of letters written and
statements made from fathers and
mothers and young people would in
dicate that these programs have had
a tremendous influence in shaping the
lives of young folks nd in charging
the vision OF all people.
This is to- be the big popular year.

entertainment, more fun, more that is

is the year when we want to make
people forget their troubles by re-
membering their blessings. The big
European catastrophe has cast pail
OF uncertainty and moral depression
over the country. The public has sus-
tanned more agitation and has re-
! sponded more generously TO reform

SETTLERS COMING IN
New Residents Number About Two
Thousand

More than 400 families aggregatinp
1000 persons. have settled in the Ar
kansas valley this spring., This is the
estimate announced by W.. o. Skinner
division freight agent Of the Santa Fe
railroad. who returned last week from a
trip Of investigation through the valley.
Mr.. Skinner was particularly interested
in this new influx Of population and be-
lieves that he has made very accurate
estimate. He was particularly impressed d
with the fact that these farmers are
not the noviees that used to take up the
homestead land. bat in the majority are
experienced in tlling non.irrigated lands
in other states. and come with adequate
equipment for the farming business.
THAT the dairying business in Colorado
is experiencing phenomenal growth,
was apparent at number of places"
said Mr.. Skinner. "A great many far
mers are moving into Prowers county this
year and most of them come with the
intention to keep a few dairy COWS
There now are more than $500 Holster
COWS in Prowers county. Two years age
there were none."
The farmers on the dry lands have
found out that they can grow plenty of
kaffir corn. milo maize and feterita which
make splendid silage. BY the use Of slos
which increase the nutritive quality Of
these grains. the farmers on the dry farms
can handle COWS with nearly the SAME
degree of profit as can be done on the
higher priced irrigated lands"

movements in the last decade than
ever before perhaps in the history of
civilization. The people have shown
big heartedness and good citizen
ship, and their unselfishness in max
ing an honest attempt to bring about
political end economic reform.
In my opinion too much violent ag-
itation should cease for the present:
Why not give the people chance to
enjoy the blessings that they have
earned? We want to have the best
time that we have ever had, but the
big key note of the 1915 Chautauqua
program is Patriotism. Not the Pa
triotism of War, but the Patriotism
of Peace and Happiness.
The next big thing that will stand
out is Inspiration. That is why, for
this year, we will dispense with tech
nical discussions, with political ha-
rangues. Politics are tabooed. The
intellectual growth of the people OF
the Middle West has been marvellous,
and they are well prepared to receive
the splendid entertainment and mu-
steal offerings that this program will
afford.
No better balanced musical pro-
gram has ever been arranged before
on any circuit. We have really eight
companies because with Thaviu S
band there will be some Grand Op-
era Singers. No two attractions are
similar. Some are stupendous, some
are full of heart interest, all are

PAY UP WEEK
Campaign VIII Begin Tomorrow and
Continue Till Next Saturday

For the restoration of prosperity to
Colorado and the solution of the unem-
ployment problem, the state committee
on unemployment has set aside the week
of May % to May 2e as PAY up week"
Letters have been sent to all commercial
associations Of the state urging each asso-
citation to begin at once on a campaign of
publicity to make the week a success. 1t
is the object of the committee to urge all
debtors to make special effort during
that week to clean their financial states
and wipe out all old accounts. The res
utant transfer of cash the committee
believes. will give an impetus to business
that will make possible the expansion Of
business.
1T is easy enough to talk about the re-
turn Of prosperity" says Secretary A. A..
Reed of the committee. land to assure
people that hard times are exclusively a
product Of the imagination. but something
more than mere talk is necessary.
We are asking employees of labor to make
a special effort to expend business and
to create new work. but in this plan for
a pay-up week. we find positive means
of restoring confidence.
Every man wants to pay his debts
promptly, but in times of depression COL
iections are always slow. because OF the
fear there may be no reciprocal payment
BY our plan Of a pay-up week. we have
found a means Of making these payments
reciprocal and thus bringing about a
movement Of capital that will 60 far to

ANNUAL ADDRESS
DREW LARGE CROWD
"Oreen Stockings ATTRACTED Immense
Gathering on Tuesday Night, De-
spite the Indictment Weather

spite the Inclement Weather
The commencement exercises
of the Rocky Ford high school
were begun in First Methodist
church last Sunday evening, when
that spacious edifce was filled
with such a throng as has not
been assembled therein for many
years.
The baccalaureate address WAS
delivered by the pastor-Dr. s. b.
Warner-from the theme ''The
Finished Course, and was an in
spring and intensely interesting
address most appropriate to the
occasion.
To large number the most in
teresting of the ceremonies at
tendant upon commencement is
the class play, as was demonstrat-
ed this year when even the cold
drizzly weather of Tuesday could
not deter the people from turning
out in such numbers that every
seat in Grand opera house was
filled and standing room was at
premium.
The class play this year bore
the attractive title "Green Stock
ings", and it was presented 80 at
tractively by the senior class that
every performer came in for
hearty applause. The presenta-
ton was creditable alike to those
who took part and their instruc-
tors, and unstinted praise should
be given the latter to compensate
them for what was not forthcom-
ing at the play.
On last evening the Alumni re-
ception was held in the Presby-
terian church, and it no doubt was
greatly enjoyed by the class of
1915.
The exercises attendant upon
the graduation from the Rocky
Ford high school of the twenty
eight students forming the class
of 1915 will be brot to close in
Grand opera house this evening,
