That Worn by the Young Man of the
Period Would Make Solomon
Look Like Thirty Cents.

| Some hopeful people had an idea last sum
her that the limit had about been reached
in the loud colors OF mems attire, in shirts,
ties, hosiery and soft hats, and that this
summer might see return to more placid
and subdued hues and patterns as sort Of
reaction. The advance styles in the win
dows OF the haberdashers' shops indicate
that such hopes are vain and that linen and
things will this year be even more startling
than last season, if that be possible. Some
OF the shirts on display in the windows seem
| to actually shrek through the glass at the
observer, and the width of the stripes is of
the general style and pattern SO long popu-
lar at Joliet penitentiary. These converse.
tional shirts have gradually grown worse
and worse each year until now the pessimists
do not see how anything WORSE can happen
than the things which are now on sale
The red hat affected by the college boy
last year and its side partner, the blue crush
hat, have rival this year in pale white hat,
with the under side OF the brim and also the
band OF deep blue, making a striking con-
trast of color, which seems to be what is
most particularly desired.
All the fashy patterns in hosiery, the
plaids, the reds and yellows and greens in
combination, are once more to the fore, and
when the young man OF the period gets him
self up in all the coored trimmings he can
buy, with red and blue barred shirt and
cuffs, a white collar, a red hat and plaid
hose showing above his low ties, he will
make Solomon in all his glory look like 30

thing else.

A final word can be said regarding tile
great outlook for this whole section of
western Colorado, through the buildil g
of this factory. Such an era of prosper
ity will never have been witnessed, as
will come with its erection. Every cit-
zen who has property in the valley, CO n
feel assured that it is the forerunner Of
better times, better than the valley has
ever experienced.
II the opportunity now presented is
allowed to lapse, it will be years befo-c
such another one will be presented. You
will have abundant opportunity to sit in
leisure and mediate over lost opportun-
tiles. No factory fires will brighten tho
landscape of the Grand valley and it
might be possible that the stranger and
tourist will be able to say: "There is
whore once stood very pretty and pros
porous community. but dry rot attacked
the people, they depended entirely upon
the town being advantageously located,
and the result was that the city and
community suffered as all such CON-
munities will suffer"
Finally, all depends upon the people.
Present to the company the fifteen hun
dred acres Of land contracted by the
citizens, aud before the year 1900 comes
around such an era of prosperity will
have set in, as will for all time II axe

work to secure this land and place it
with title clear, in the possession of the
company by the time specified.
1t may be Of some interest to the pub
lie to know the character Of the men
who will be concerned in this great en-
terprise and who have given the final ul-
timatum to this people, previous to the
letting Of the contract for the work to
begin.
Tho names which will be attached to
the incorporation papers, which vii. be
fled in the city OF Denver today, are
names which are the synonym Of wealth,
enterprise and business sagacity, not
only in this state, but throughout the
whole west. Their names have been at
tached to big enterprises before an
each and every gentleman concerned in
this work is able alone to build the pro-
posed plant il he saw fit.
Heading the list will be the name Of
John F. Campion. the we'll known
Leadville mining man, now a resident OF
Denver and president of the Chamber
of Commerce, Charles Boettcher. vice
president Of the National Bank OF Com
merce, }. ]. Brown. we'll known and
wealthy mining man. j. R. Mckinney,
of Colorado Springs, president of the
FIRST National Bank OF that city, and
Ehen Smith, whose name need only be
mentioned for the general public to
know him.
Aside from the building of the factory
in which these gentlemen will be the
primal figures, the coming Of these men
OF wealth to this valley to invest their
money, 10 a matter OF the utmost signi-
fcanee. Their names alone mean much
to the future investment OF capital.
Heretofore, never in the history OF the
valley, has such a combination II capi-
tai proposed to some to the Grand valley
to invest. In fact no capital OF any i'm
portance whatever has ever been invest
ed in the valley, possibly with tho excep
tion OF the capital which built the Grand
Valley ditch In this ono thing alone
much may be expected. 1t is the open
ing wedge for an influx Of capital, a
thing much needed and which has for
years been 9 ught but only with indiff-
erent success. t.
Too much can not be said upon the
subject to urge the people forward to
produce without any hesitancy whatever
the title to this body Of land, which has
been promised. Without it nothing can
be done and the time set to produce the
title to the lands is short, in fact too
short, but it must be secured.
1t Is hoped that whoever has obligated
themselves to give toward this bonus
will como forward at once. 1t is the
only contingency now left to the build
ing Of the factory.
The time has been made short because
other communities are only too anxious
to come forward and not only duplicate
everything offered by this county. but
increase tho amount 10 be given the
company.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the necessity OF perfesting the titles to
the land which it il proposed TO give and
not - wait for . second invitation, but
come right forward with the titles and
rive them into the hands of the parties
assigned to take charge Of this work.

"lt lies enti,e ely with the people Of the
Grand valley whether we shall have a
beet sugar factory or whether we shall
not" This is the final ultimatum OF the
men who propose to invest their money
in the factory and of those men who
have been prominently connected with
the promotion Of the scheme
The ultimatum insofar as it is related
to the people, is that on or before the
fifteenth day Of this month, they place
in escrow in one of the banks Of this
city the deeds or titles to the 800 acres
OF land, which they have promised, as
the bonus to the company. There must
be no butts, ifs or ands in this last propo-
sition il the pc pile want the factory.
The land must be placed in the possess
ion OF the company by that time or the
scheme is all of as far as it coucerns
the erection of factory in this valley.
Charles N. Cox aud G. E. Mitchell re-
turned from Denver Sunday and this is
the answer they have brought to the
people Of Grand valley. To support
their proposition that the factory will be
built they have seen the signatures Of
the investors placed to the incorporation
papers, which have been drawn up and
signed.
The incorporators include five OF the
richest and most influential men in the
state of Colorado and they passed their
word and haye affixed their signatures
10 those papers. which, as soon as the
people of the Grand valley keep their
faith on the promised bonus OF 500
acres of land, giving good title to same,
they will at once let the contract and
commence the erection Of the factory.
There is nothing more that can be ad-
ded to this plain statement OF the facts,
which will place the greatest enterprise
afloat in the Grand valley that has ever
been conceived for it. In fact 80 great
are the possibilities that the factory will
only be the beginning Of an influx Of
capital, which will change the whole
course OF events in this city and county.
1t must, however. not be forgotten
that the building of the factory now
solely rests with the people. 1t has gone
beyond the experimental period, where
it may be built. il certain contingencies
are met. The capital has been secured,
the men, some OF the very richest invest
ors Of the state, have been found and
nothing remains to be accomplished ex-
cept for the people of this valley to full
fill their promise of providing tho 500
acres of land.
The Sentinel desires forcefully to i'm
press upon the people that there is but
little time to lose t. provide this acre
age The time has been set absolutely
for tn. fifteenth of this mouth. The
gentlemen who have promoted this
scheme desired the limit placed at the
end OF the month. but 30 anxious were
the stockholders Of the company to have
the work consummated that they would
not consent to any further time than ths
fifteenth Of January.
From now on the work will have to GO
forward rapidly, a. it 10 the intention Of
the company to be grinding this years
crop in the new factory this fall, 20 that

ways wants to make his ifs, ands and

long distance concert tours for which
his great band is so noted. This present
musical pilgrimage covers forty two diff
ferent states, not to speak OF several
trips across the border into the Domin-

amount o 10000 miles and 4S5 con certs
will be given in 1872 different towns and
cities
When on the read Sousa's band usual
ly plays matinee in one place and an
evening concert in another. In several
instances as high as fourteen towns are
visited in single week and the average
is ten. This is the hardest kind of work
with it's incessant strain and no rest
Certainly Sousa earns his success.
Every two years the band essays great
trans-continental tour of this character,
the present being the fourth of it's kind.
Or course Sousa will visit this city and
his admirers may look forward to Il
