July 23d, Tuesday. We realized fully tho effect of tho rain of the night borore soon after wo started this morning. Tho roads were in an awful condition and it was one hard pull through mud and water Tor 10 long miles. Wo passed through some more lovely land though and if l would attempt to toll you how many alfalru stacks we could count in sight yu or tho "short grass country'' would bo inclined o discredit tho count so t will only say that there was a plenty. Tho sugar beet industry is carried on here on a big scale too. Fact is, the whole race or tho,earth is one imnicnco bcot and airnjfa field Tho only wonder is how so many beets could grow In tho ground. When tho crop is mature the boots press against each oilier in tho hills nnd go down in the ground from one to two foot. They have imple ments for digging them and when they are loaded on tho wagons all that Is necessary is to drive up on a beot chuto and drop the sido of tho wagon and the beets are loaded into the cars. Fvcrjthing is lixed for handling the croji and machinery does tho work or man wherever possible. All iSlong tho railroad in tho beet vallcythese Beet Stations aro only three jor Tour miles apart and every town has a million dollar sugar mill. Tho friwns are tipm 1! to 2T miles apart thistryjL.Bi,.ej'Boll for $5.00 per ton and an acre of ground produces ordi narily from 18 to 21 tons. It is not an uncommon sight fo sec a field of from abo to 300 acrvs or beets The alfalfa fields and the amount they produce is too great to estimate but it is ininiense. Th second crop is just now about ready for harvest Of course there is no fruit this year on account of the late freoze but there are some line orchards and under favorable circumstances the fruit yield is great The tree3 all look healthy and fine and aie loaded to breaking down in a fruit season The valley is about 20 mile3 wide and is conceded to be the mist fertile and productive valley in the world outside of the valley of the Nile. We passed Port Lyons early in the morning. In the frontier days this used to be a mil itary post but is now used for a home for aged marines Took dinner at Las Animas. This wa3 also a frontier town being the oldest settlement in the west. We camped for the night near a big farm and ranch. 7:00 a. m. July 21th, Wednesday. Golan early start this morning and drove into La Junta about 0:110 whore wo got our mail and supplies. La Junta is a good towm tho best wo have reached yot in Colorado. From here on up tho valley tho cantaloupe industry takes prominence over the beet raising although that is extensive too. We passed Rocky Ford after dinner. Tula is in tho heart of tho cantaloupe country and already car loads or knocked down crates are being shipped in. Tho cantaloupe Holds look linu and this rail will bo a mass of melons. Thoy uro shipped from hero by the train load Camped for tho night at Manzanola. 8.00 a. m. Manzanola, Colo. July 25th, Thurtday. Manzanola is the most densely pop ulated (with mosquitoes) or any place we have yet struck. All that saved us Troin being devoured last night was a kind wind which camo up early and blew them awav. Wo can't got away from Beaver county people no matter whero we go. Struck a man hero who has a claim neiir Clino, Ho knows "I)iul"and Claude Mansfield and Chas. Tackott. Didn't learn his name. Pulled on toward Pueblo from here. The roads aro still flue and the weather good. Was a little sultry yesterday but is cloudy and cooler to-day. Only drove 17 miles today being forced to go into camp at Neposka on account of rain. Up this way a great deal of at tention is paid to fruit raising. This is '.also a greet, tomato section. All along 10th tho Talley tho bee Industry is a profit able ono and many hundreds of thous ands of pounds of honey aro sold anu ally. Wo have boon feasting on 'honey on the cob" all along. Have also had plenty of ripo tomatoes, roasting ears, vegetables, fruit and water melons. Of course all this stuff is shipped in now but will bo on tho homo market in due season. Wo hato lomakoyour mouths wator for all or these good things and wish wo could send you over somo but since wo can't we'll get all the good things coming our vuy anyhow. Camo In sight of grand old Pike's peak nlso tho Rainy Mountains just outside of Manzanola Could sec the snow on tho mountains nnd they looked only a little ways but wo didn't run over and climb them at noon. Thoy wore some 100 miles dis tant. Have followed tho Santa Fo nil along from Lamar. Our horses aro "city broke" and pay no attention to tho trains. Wo aro getting pretty badly tanned up nnd sumo dirty so now our only dread is ili being taken for a bunch or Mexican "greasers " .If wo run short oP'pin money" we'll put out ourshingle as a Gypsy Fortuno Tolling Camp. Drovo out northwest of town to camp but found a small ravine a raging torrent so had to return and camp in town for the night. Most nil rains out here are water spouts on ac count of tho clouds striking tho mount ains and bursting and it is not safo to camp anyways near a creek or rnvino' The storms como up. in a hurry and one hasn't much time to move out before the flood is on. (Continued next weok.) Busy Bee Leased. J. II . McCord has leased the Busy Boo restaunt or Clyde Gregg and will continue business at tho old stand.
