SAVED HIS Life
Transfer of Lieut.. Riggs Lucky,
According to Story Told
..... By Relative -: H..

LONG BEACH, Cal-What a mar
row escape his brother-inlaw had
from being one of the victims of the
recent tragedy at Carrizal, Mexico,
was told by w. f. Selin. high school
professor Of New Haven, Conn.,, who
has arrived, accompanied by his ne
phew, Russell Selin Of Chicago, for a
visit Of two months at the home of
sir. and Mrs. Samuel J. Abrams. Mr..
Selin is Mrs. Abrams brother.
Kerr T. Riggs, whose sister Mr.. Sc
lin married about a year ago, has
been an officer in the United States
army for number of years, and for
some time had been lieutenant in
the 10th Cavalry, attached to the very
company which was the victim of
Mexican treachery at Carrizal.
Just at the time the 10th Cavalry
was ordered to proceed to the border,
Lieut.. Riggs was promoted to cap
taincy and transferred to the 4th
Cavalry, which is stationed at Homo
lulu.
Capt. Boyd, of the company which
was attacked at Carrizal, and one of
those whose lives were snuffed out
by the Mexican's raking fire, was one
of Capt. Riggs dearest friends They
had been chums for years
A letter just received from Capt.
Riggs states that he has made appli-
cation to be transferred again and
placed at the head of a volunteer com.
pany in Mexico.
While he realizes that had he not
been sent to Honolulu he probably
would have been slain In the Carrizal
horror. he is filled with bitterness
over the slaughter of Capt. Boyd and
members of his company, and he
writes that he would like nothing bet.
ter than to get into actual service in
Mexico and help avenge the. killing of
the American troopers.
Capt. Riggs sister, Mrs. Selin, is
visiting her parents in Cynthiana, KY,
and will return to New Haven with
her husband about September 1.

IRRIGATION LAW UPHELD
Limit on Time for Appeals is Found
Valid by Supreme Tribunal

A Denver dispatch brings news that
ing time for appeals from court DEGREES
fixing water rights, was sustained Fri
day by the United States Supreme
court. The appeal of Daniel O'Neil
from a decree establishing water dis
tribution ratio in the South Platte Irri-
cation districts was dismissed and de-
crees of Colorado courts in favor of the
Highlipe Irrigation company affirmed.
O'Neil is farmer of Douglas county
Some time ago certain priorities were
decreed in the South Platte district and
O'Neil considered himself injured by
them. However, he had failed to ap-
pear when the adjudications were being
determined by the District court and
claimed that the time for such hearing
had expired under the limitation sections
OF the act of 1881.
O'Neil appealed to the state Supreme
court, which sustained the lower body
and then the plaintiff took his case to
the supreme tribunal of the nation.
Another decision important to Colo
irrigationists was handed down by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals,
which ruled that state lines do not af-
feet the question of priority of water
rights, knocking out the contention of
Colorado that junior appr opriators in
this state have priority over senior ap-
perpetrators in adjoining states,
The court sustained Judge Lewis and
upheld every contention made by the
Pioneer Irrigation company in its suit
against the state.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Verdict of Jury in Case of Young
Lafayette Schoolboy

Lafayette Schoolboy
Acting upon the instructions of As
sistant District Attorney Wallis at the
coroner's inquest last Friday. the jury
did not attempt to fix the responsibility
for the death of little Peter He'll, the
S-year-old schoolboy who was struck
and killed by Santa Fe engine near
the Lafayette beet dump, as reported
by The Enterprise last week.
The evidence at the inquest was
widely at variance. the testimony of
four reputable witnesses-the weigh
master at the beet dump and beet
haulers who were at and near the cross
ing corroborating that of the teachers
that no warning of bell or whistle was
heard as the engine neared the crossing
while the engineer and train crew swore
positively that the bell was tolling and
the whistle had been sounded. The
verdict of the coroner's jury was that
little Peter Heil's death was accidental
Funeral services were conducted in
the German Congregational church on
Sunday by Rev. Czidat and interment
was in Valley View cemetery.

with huge butterfly-wing eff
feet over the shoulders, forming
the sleeves. This is made of two
oblong pieces of the voile, one
laid over each shoulder, form
ing v at the throat and long
pointed ends back and front. A
long. slender bow marks the
joining of the pieces at the
back, and similar bow with
ends fastens the negligee lin
front. The deep points are fin-
ished with dull blue silk tas-
sells. When the arms are lifted,
the butterfly effect is very pro-
nounced, and when the arms are

folded lines.

TRAIN WRECK
In Rocky Ford Yards the Worst in
Years Yet No Person Was
Seriously Injured

Seriously Injured
Trainmen upon this division of
the Santa Fe who have been very
uneasy since the two railroad ac-
cidents reported by The Enter
prise last week-because they had
noted that train accidents, like
fires, almost invariably occur in
sequence of threes.-were greatly
relieved when they learned of the
wreck with no serious results at
Rocky Ford on Monday night.
1t is considered remarkable TINT
this wreck was attended by no
fatality or even severe injury, as
the accident occurred to the $40
passenger train from Denver,
which is usually well filled with
travellers, but this is accounted for
by the fact that none of the coaches
left the track and the occupants
suffered nothing worse than Il
severe shaking up.
Like the many runaways that
have recently been recorded about
town, this train wreck was the
outcome of drivers carelessIess
in leaving his team united: Mrs.
J. $. Manning was the owner of
the team and wagon, which were
being used by Mexican TO haul
beets. While the hombre was
making a call at the factory, it ap-
pears, tie team decided 10 60 home
In crossing the railway tracks the
wagon in some manner became
entaDgled in the switch frog and
SO the team WAS unable to clear
the track for, the fiery monster
that bore down upon them.
One horse WAS killed by the
collision. but the other escaped
with minor injuries and reached
home several hours after the ac-
cident.
The impact of the engine evid-
emily threw the switch, for it left
the rails and tore thru ties and
roadbed like an immense plow for
about two blocks. By the time it
stopped the trucks had been torn
from under the tender and com
bination baggage aud mail car.
The latter dropped sideways of
the track while the tender WIS al
most upended upon the engine.
Providentially the passenger
coaches and Pullman remained
upon the rails aud after an hours
delay an emergency engine had Il
switch cleared and travel was re.
sumed.
A wrecking crew with the big
crane came up from La j uDta and
was soon hard at work upon the
wreck, but despite their best eff
forts there WIS still a, mass of
wreckage between Sixth and
Eli 9Th streets sufficient 10 afford
an interesting and unusual sight

''''''''CR CROPS GROW
Increase Thirteen Millions
Over Last Year
WORTH EIGHTY-TWO
MILLION DOLLARS
Good Finishing Weather Given as
Reason for Increased Production
Giants Add Quota

ANViooh ioi
-Cants Add Quota
Government and state experts
are adding 10 and Is per cent to
the crop production for Colorado
over the estimate previously made
by agricultural experts. Their
figures give the yield of the state
total value of over $4,000, ,000,'
or an increase of approximately
S13. 100000 over the 1915 pro-
duction and Sl4,00O,000 over the
value of the crop produced in 1914.
The unusually good finishing
weather with late frost is the basis
for the increased production and
valuation over the estimate made
early last month.
From an acreage of 5000 less
than the $4,000 planted last year,
potato growers will realize ap-
proximately 100000 bushels,
this crop being particularly favor
ed by the favorable maturing con-
ditions. This is against produc-
ton of 1855 600 bushels in 1915
But the farmers will receive for
this years crop over $4,000, 900,
against $4,722,300, realized for,
1915 CROP
The production of wheat this
year will aggregate 100000
bushels less than in 1915, but Its
value is approximately Sl4,000,-
0OOs S3,0OO,O00 more than last
year. The acreage planted was
727, 900 acres nearly 16O, 900 more
than planted last year.
For three years there has been
steady increase in acreage de-
voted to crops. In 1914 the acre
age was 2,605, 400, in 1915 2,754,-
500, and this year, 1861 90, an in
crease in 1916 of 206, 500 acres
over 1915.
Other crops increasing in value
include rye, barley, oats, pears,
kafiir corn and cantaloupes. Hay,
corn and peaches showed de-
crease in value. Z
Pears yielded $4,000 bushels, as
against $4,000 in 1915, but the
price of $3.50 bushel was Sl.o0
more than in 1915, giving total
value of S43O,000, the largest in
the history of Colorado. Peaches
dropped in production from 1915
of $4,000 bushels, which, even
with lower price, made the total
value nearly S350,O0O less than in
1915.
Other fruits and vegetables
Brought total of Sl,6S4. 500, an
advance of 81 100000 over 1918.
Estimates on other crops place
the value of the cantaloupe yield
at S512, 900; cherries, $4,000;
Strawberries, Sl05,0O0; tomatoes,
$4,000; onions. $4,000; celery,
SS7. 500; field peas, 5000, 600; CAN
ming peas, $4,000, and cucumbers,
$4,000.
The live stock industry has also
expanded beyond all estimates.
In August, j. A. Shoemaker,
manager of the Denver Union
Stockyards company, predicted
that the total receipts at the yards
for the year 1916 would be 100000
cattle. 800, 900 hogs and 100000
sheep. This record was reached
and passed last month and the
total promises to be in excess of
% per cent more than Mr.. Shoe
makers estimate.

RECEIVES
"' i HIGH SCORE
At National Buttermaker's
Convention
THE ROCKY FORD
CREAMERY Is CLEAN
most Principle in Their
Buttermakine

In view OF the Iact tnat many
metropolitan papers and maga-
zines have been censuring some
creameries for unsanitary methods
iu the manufacture of butter, we
take the opportunity to speak of
the neat aud sanitary methods en-
ployed in the creamery at Rocky
Ford.
From the day it opened for busi-
ness, the public has been invited
to see just how the butter was
made here, Women's societies
have visited the plant, and the
ladies have gone home and decid-
ed forever to provide their family
table with creamery butter. Clas-
ses of school children have gone
down to see how butter was made,
and eaten more bread and butter
since. Merchants have been able
to keep this butter without its go.
ing stale. because it was made from
clean, pasthrized cream, and in a
sanitary manner.
When this creamery was OPEN
ed, some cream was delivered in
rancid condition. Farmers had
never had any complaints when
they delivered stale cream at the
station or railroad. This cream
was not churned but shipped to
large butter factory where it was
renovated by the use of chemicals
aud probably sold as butter made
from "Pure Pasteurized Cream.
The buttermaker explained to the
farmer and patrons that butter
making started on the farm and in
order to make the Rocky Ford
creamery measure up to the stand
ards in production of high grade
creamery butter it must have a
clean, fresh and wholes ONE raw
product.
During the two years of the
operation of this industry, the
manager and farmers have CO.
operated nicely for the maintain
auce of high ideas and wherever
Rocky Ford butter has gone it
has been recognized as whole
some product by the people who
know.
This is the time of unrest among
parts of the butter industry. The
reason is that many plants both
large and small, are taking in
quan titles of rotten cream. sub
jecting it to treatment with chem
icals to take out the bad odors and
disagreable tastes, and the public
is finding it out. The public has
a right to know what it is buying
and does not want butter made
from rotten cream foisted upon it
as first class product.
After reading articles which tell
how some factories operate, it is
with sigh of relief that we think
of our home industry. With pride,
we can point to our methods of
manufacture. Whoever buys but
ter made here gets the real goods
made in the right way; and every
inspector, and there have been
many, who has visited our cream
cry has complimented the manage
ment ON its cleanliness, sanitation
and quality of product.
People who eat Rocky Ford
Creamery company's "Columbine
Brand Butter" are eating what
they expect creamery butter to be.
namely, product made from
clean, pasteurized cream, under
sanitary methods.
1t is with pleasure we anounce
the good news that "Columbine
Brand Butter" has Just received
the highest score for creamery
butter for the state of Colorado at
the National Creamery Butter
makers convention in Minneapolis,
of which The Enterprise made
local mention last week.
