PROMINENT SPEAKERS
VIII BE Heard at Sunday School Con-
vention in Cheraw

Superintendent Frank d. Slutz, pres
ident OF the State Teachers Association
and president of the Colorado State
Sunday School Association, will be one
of the many excellent speakers at the
Otero County Annual Sunday School
convention, which is to be held at
Cheraw, March 30 and 81. The officers
OF our county association feel praticu-
larly fortunate in being able to have
the state president at the convention as
his services are SO much in demand
elsewhere in the state.
Another speaker of great power and
personality is E. T. Albertson, the
general secretary for this state. He
has been in Colorado since last June
only, but has already accomplished
much in various parts of the state, and
local workers are looking forward to
convention time in our county, when
they will have an opportunity to meet
him.
Mrs. w. Z. Fryhofer of Colorado
Springs, an expert in elementary and
missionary work, is Sunday School
worker of known ability and experience
and many will want to hear her at the
convention.

SUNDAY BLAZES
Cause Considerable DAMAGE to Build

ines and Contents
During the baby cyclone that stirred
things up in this city about noon on
Sunday fire was discovered to be eating
its way into the cantaloupe shed and
crate house of the Rocky Ford Melon
Growers association, adjoining the
Rocky Ford Ice & Mercantile Co. plant,
and for short time it looked serious
in that section of the town.
The fire department made quick
response to the alarm, but before the
boys could get line of hose in working
order the heavy wind had driven the
fiamesinto every section of the crate
house. where seve raj carloads of crate
material and cantaloupe wrappers were
stored, and before the fire was subdued
the department had one of the hardest
fights in its history.
By hard and efficient work the fire
was confined to the cantaloupe sheds,
where the damage is estimated to have
been close to 5000.
Another Sunday blaze was occasioned
by burning weeds on the old b. W.
Bell place, on the eastern edge of this
city. c. w. Grimm, the new owner,
had most of the buildings on his place
destroyed by fire which had been carried
by the heavy wind.
1t is reported that the buildings were
fully insured and the loss to Mr. Grimm
will be small.

OLD-TIME RESIDENT
Succumbs to Apoplexy at His Home
in Spokane

Succumbs to Apoplexy at His Home
in Spokane
Residents of Rocky Ford at the time
of the townsite opening, some 20 years
ago, will be grieved to learn of the
death of Egbert T. Steele, older brother
of our townsman, W. c. Steele, and the
man who conducted the sale of lots at
tha opening. of, the Rocky Ford town
site.
News of the sudden demise of his
brother Egbert was received by w. C..
Steele at a late hour on Monday and he
left for Spokane, Wash, upon the first
train on Tuesday. The dispatch stated
that Mr.. Steele had been stricken with
apoplexy on Monday and passed away a
couple of hours later.
Some 35 years ago the Steele brothers
were engaged in ranching in the San
Luis valley. Shortly before the Rocky
Ford townsite opening they disposed of
their ranch interests and herds and Egg
bert came to this city to conduct the
sale of town lots. A few months later
he was followed here by his brother
William, who invested quite extensively
here. In the course of year Egbert
Steele left for Spokane, where he en-
gagged in the real estate business, and
he was successfully conducting the
same when the final summons came.

ROADS
MILEAGE OF CONCRETE ROADS
Growth In Popularity Indicated by
Rapid Increase In Recent Years
In United States.

The mileage Of concrete pavements
in the United States has increased
rapidly. and 1t is likely to continue
tin of the United States department
of agriculture. This bulletin gives
the estimated amount of concrete
pavement in the United States in 1914
as 100000 square yards; in 1909 it
was only $4,000 square yards.
The principal advantage of concrete
pavements which have led to this in
crease in popularity are said to be-.
1. Durability under ordinary traffic
conditions.
2. A smooth, even surface offering
little resistance.
3. Absence of dust and ease with
which 1t may be cleaned.
4. Comparatively small cost Of
maintenance until renewals are neces-
sary.
s. Availability as base for another
type of surface il desirable.
6. Attractive appearance.
In commenting upon these advan-
tages the bulletin states that the dur
ability of concrete roads has not yet
been proved by actual practice, be-
cause there are no very old pave
ments as yet in existence, but from
the condition of those which have un-
dergone several years service it
seems probable that they will be
found to wear well.
The disadvantages of concrete as
a road surface are:
1. Its noise under horse traffic.
2. The wearing of the necessary
joints in the pavement, and the tend
ency to crack. with its consequent
rapid deterioration.
3. The difficulty of repairs when
these become necessary.
In the past efforts have frequently
been made to overcome these objec-
tions to a certain degree by covering
the concrete pavement with a bitumi'
nous wearing surface. At the present
time, the specialists in the department
hold that this cannot be economically
