Anecdotes and Incidents

only time to see them was very early
in the morning. They crowed nearly
like any other chicken, and were very
wild and very hard to discover after
daylight, but the best hunters found and
killed them sometimes. They found in
the hanging rocks species of honey
bee that built their comb and filed
them with honey that looked like
lard, and was very palatable, but was
always candied. They brought this
honey home for their families to eat In
deerskins, that are now termed case
hides. After filling up the hides with
honey they were basted with the ten
dons Of a deers back and were handily
brought home on broncho. After
the return Of the hunters there was a
grand powwow.

WORK HAS UNLoADED

Ever since the present owners
came into possession of The TRI-
BUNE, Editor Work of the Refner
has realized that he was up against
it, and he has been trying to un-
load his plant He found that he
could not compete with The TRI-
BUNE's high grade job work, and
as an advertising medium he was
so far outclassed that he simply
lay down.
And then, too, he lost his polit-
ical graft and he lost out on the
city printing He became man
without a party Some years ago
he thought he saw the republican
party going to pieces, and he
thought there would be more
money in expounding the cause of
the Tellerites. And now there is
no Teller party, and the republi-
cans don't extend the glad hand to
welcome him home, and the demo-
Gratis give him chilly stare
And so Work has been trying
for some time to sell out and de-
vote all his time to rural pursuits.
And last night he succeeded in
unloading his elephant, the buyers
being the Elk Parte Publishing

WORKS. LAST nEANNESS.

j. w. Work took his last slam
at one of Florence's pioneers a
week or so ago when he published
the following and low down para
graph;
The Boulder Oil company, for
which Isaac Garfield is head
driller, lost the tools in the hole a
few days since and now it's drill a
new hole or give up the job"
AS a matter of fact ever since
Mr., Garfield prevented Wellington
McCandless from stamping the
life out of Work, the latter has
shown his gratitude in just such
measley, besmeared attacks as the
above. Mr. Garfield has organized
five oil companies to operate in
Boulder county, and from two of
these he is drawing salaries as
manager. He has already made a
nice bunch of money out of the
enterprise and could today pay
cash for Works garden patches
in Mesa county and his print shop,
and have money enough left to
purchase the old sorrel horse and
the red and black trap.

Perhaps no man is more in the
public eye at this time than Sir
Thomas Upton, owner of the
yacht Shamrock II. And as Sir
Thomas attributes his millions to
advertising, we take pleasure in
publishing brief sketch of his
life, for the benefit not only of
those who are interested in his
lordship as sport, but for bust
ness men who are interested in his
phenomenal success in mercantile
lines.
Sir Thomas Lipton was born in
Glasgow, Scotland, of Irish
parents. He worked as messen-

eating himself at night school.
He ran away to America at fifteen,
after he had saved money enough
to take passage in the steerage.

Referring to crop conditions, farmers
who raised crops in this county since the
early 9O'e, taking everything INTO consider
alton, say they mover saw the land in
better condition for crop than it IS now.
To begin with, the ground was we'll
soaked when it froze up last fall. This
with the heavy falls of snow this winter
assures an abundance of moisture to give
the grain a good start in the spring.
There will also be plenty of water in the
hay sloughs, which guarantees an abund-
ance of hay. 1t is noticed, also. that the
rainfall during the season IS more or less
increased by having plenty of water in
the sloughs. In general, the farmers have
a good lot of land ready for crop, much
of it having been summerfalowed last
wear. There will be more flax sown than
ever, and at the same time 1t is not likely
the wheat acreage will fall much, if any,
short of previous years.
