COLORADO, Ten, Oct. S.--phe fell
clip of wool is rolling into the citg
pretty lively. Yesterday Messrs. 90
man & Shear, commission merchants
and wool dealers, received about 1000
pounds. Colorado is fast becoming
center for wool for this Western coun-
try. All the wool growers in the adj
joining counties are hauling the wool
here and most of them sell to the local
buyers. Prices are very good, ranging
from 10 to lSA cents.
The Daily Clipper OF yesterday pre-
sented to the readers a very nice para
graph, dedicated to the anniversary OF
itself and Colorado city. The editor,
DIR. Tolar, compliments his paper aud
our city upon the vast improvement
they have made In the past four years.
His words are AS follows:
We pitched our tent within MY PAGES of
where now the Upper Office building is
standing, arriving here about $50 miles In
advance Of the Texes . Pacific railroad track
laying force, In the lonely valley OF the Colo
RADIO river, then "a vast plain or. moro plainly
speaking, a deserted wilderness With no
mingle and pass of the welrdness OF the
situation, where deer and antelope Cautered
az will over the bound less plains, where the
piercing scream OF the Wild panther, the
snRrl OF the hungry WOLF and the hoot OF
the owl broke the awful stiffness
One solitary building marked the spot
where now s4ands the uOurishing city of
Colorado-the ranch store OF Dunn, Coleman
4 Co.--and ON that night, the eth OF October,
1890 brisk norther blew MP, attended by n
good rain.
The vast increase of the Clipper and
Colorado City has been wonderful, and
IL is fact that DR., Tolar and Colorado
were visited again on the 9TH of Octo-
Der, 1851, with another brisk noTther
and rain. The air is pipching this
morning and overeoats and stoves are
numerously brought into use. The
doctor ought not 10 have mentioned
the norther yesterday if it brought
this one to-day.
Just here allow me to say TO the
readers OF THE GAZETTE, and more
particularly to the citizens of Colorado,
that much more credit should be
given to the doctor than he gets for the
vast ard miraculous improvement Of
our city. He has at any and all times
praised Colorado and Mitchell county,
and In fact through him and his paper
great many persons have been at.
tracted to the Infant Wonder and
