The prospects for the coming year are
more promising for Washington county
than any Of it's predecessors. Many OF
our citizens are determined to engage III
the cattle business on moie extensive
scale than heretofore, while the early
SHOWS have put the ground in line order
Tor spring work on the farms. The set
tiers are getting in better shape than sv-
er before; their improvements are more
substantial, their feed more abundant
aud their spirits at higher mark than
ever before in the history Of the settle
ment Of eastern Colorado. They feel
that they have passed the crisis that
comes OF the settlement OF new coun-
try; and the past experience teaches
them that they will from now ON be in
the prosperity procession. The past sea-
son has been an improvement in prices
for live stock OF all kinds and the wool
product, which has given many OF our
people bank account, to which hereto
fore they have been total strangers. We
all feel encouraged; the worst times Tor
this new country have passed, and from
nov on We will grow in population and
wealth. The process may not be rs rap
id as thu more impatient would wish. but
it will be steady and substantial Akron

at Is unfortunate that slang phrases

conscious OF the fact that they are doing
