BRING FANCY PRICES
Carlot Shipping of Cantaloupes from
This City Will Begin Next
Week

During the past week the canta-
loupe crop has been steadily ma
turing and reports from the field
men who have been making an
extensive investigation are that
this will be a banner year for our
famous fruit. The melons are re-
ported to be firm in texture and
of fine luscious flavor that will
rapidly regain favor for the
Rocky Ford cantaloupe.
From 25 to 30 crates per day
are now being shipped by express
from Rocky Ford. Some of the
shipments are going to Colorado
points, but very few as the East
ern market is considered much
better at present. While it is not
known just what price the melons
are bringing it is certain that the
growers are receiving fancy sum
for the early crop.
The cantaloupes are ripening
fast and it is now assured that
freight shipments will begin early
next week. In anticipation of
the rush cars have been ordered
by the commission men and asso-
Citations and are being Spotted"
at the different sheds thruout the
valley.

WIbL DRAIN SEEPAGE
If the Property Owners Will But Dc
Their Share


Thru the action of the city council at
the adjourned regular meeting on Tues
day evening the seenage trouble
that has caused property owners in the
southeastern section of the city to lie
awake O. nights will soon be a bugaboo
of the past if they will live up to the
proposition advanced month ago.
Bids for the drainage of the infected
district were opened and read on Tues
day night, when it was found that Sta
ley & Taylor would take 5000 to do the
work, and on motion of Alderman Bish
the bid was accepted, with the proviso
that the property owners have their
share-one-half-of the amount in a
bank within 10 days.
The matter of free camping grounds
for auto tourists, so generously offered
by the Arkansas Valley Fair associa-
tion. as reported in The Enterprise last
week, was taken up at this meeting OF
the council, and the chairman of the
civic improvement committee was au-
thorized to have signs prepared and
posted along the Santa Fe Trail calling
attention to this privilege so freely eX'
tended.

BASEBALL
''''i6] TOURNAMENT
And Wild West Stunts Will
Be Attractions at Fair
STAGE COACH CAPTURE
BY REAL INDIANS
Girls Relay and Wild Pony Races
Have Been Added and Motor
cycle Races Are Likely

SySie NaScS are Likely
Despite the fact that the Rocky
Ford baseball team is out of the
running the Arkansas Valley Fair
association, at meeting early
this week decided that the stellar
attraction of last year-a baseball
tournament-would be great
drawing card for the silver ami
versary, so they have decided to
hold baseball tournament in
which the four clubs of the Ar
kansas Valley league will partici-
pate. The games this year will
be played on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Friday.-two games on each
of the afternoons-if this arrange
ment can be made with the
teams.
In place of so many platform
attractions, which are to be seen
at any time of the vaudeville
houses, there will be added
number of track events including
some of the best wild west Stunts
that have ever been staged in this
part of the state and which will
include bucking contests with hor-
ses, mules, and steers, girls as
well rs mems relay races and an
old time stage coach capture by
real Indians who are expected to
camp on the grounds during the
fair and will stage a wild pony
race on one of the days of the
fair.
Unless it will interfere with the
harness events some exciting mo-
torcycle races will be put OH and
some of the fastest riders in the
state have signified their intention
of entering the races. The COM
mittee is also considering several
other features that are absolutely
new to the fairs and when the en-
tertainment program is announced
it will be found to contain a suffi-
cient amount of fun and excite
ment to insure against n single
dull moment of any of the after
Moons.
There was never SO many in
uuiries from people who are COM
ing to spend several days here, as
have been received within the
past few weeks and anyone writ
ing to their friends can assure
them that if they are coming by
auto that the parking accomoda-
tions will be sufficient to accom-
modate all who come and every
one will be well taken care of.

Promptly upon the designated
hour the assembly was called to
order by Chairman Winchell in
Manzanola's new opera house, and
after the reading of the official
call, the temporary chairman was
selected in the person of Hon.
w. b. Goblin, who in stirring
address gave personal references
to the deplorable condition of
Mexican affairs due to the vacilla-
ting policies of President Wilson
and stated that the one great issue
this fall was the protection of
every American man and woman
and their property whether upon
the high seas or elsewhere. He
referred briefly to state affairs
and called attention to the fact
that in place of a bankrupt treas
ury as found when Gov. Carlson
assumed Office every warrant of
the state was now worth its full
face value, and that instead of the
want and anarchy under demo-
cratic control prosperity and
peace were the conditions now
He declared that the ruinous tax
alton existing in Otero county
was bIot about thru the extrava-
gance of the officials and called
upon the assembly to place in
nomination such strong candi-
dates that the entire Democratic
bunch of officeholders would be
swept out this fall.

Absolves The Rock Island
Directors

In the United States District
Court in New York City, Febru.
airy 21, Judge Julius Mayer hand
ed down an order authorizing
Walther C. Noyes, as receiver of
the Chicago Rock Island and Pa
cific Railroad Company, to settle
and compromise all the claims of
the receiver and the railroad com
pany against the directors for
$780, 900, paid by Daniel G. Reid
and William H. Moore. The or.
der is the result of petition by
Judge Noyes, as receiver, sup
ported by the affidavit of Charles
E. Rushmore, counsel to the re.
ceiver.
The chief claims asserted we're
that the purchase of the Frisco
system was a violation of the
Sherman act and resulted in a
great loss to the railroad COM
pany and that dividends had been
paid out of current earnings
when the capital of the company
was impaired by the sale of the
Frisco stock. The affidavit of
Mr.. Rush more, supporting
Judge Noyes' petition for leave
to settle, stated the belief OF the
receiver and his counsel that the
receiver could not successfully
litigate the claim and that no Ii
ability could be successfully as
serted against either Reid or
Moore.
The defense of Messrs Reid
and Moore and the other direc
tors have thus received the sane
ton of the court, and they are
absolved from all liability, tC
esther the receiver, the'compapy
the stockholders, or creditors.
