Work Is Begun.

Work on the new Greeley directory
has been commenced and will now
be pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible. While the last book
issued by The Tribune office is still
of considerable value, 1T has been
found that there has been consider
able moving about by the people
and great many new inhabitants
have also come into the city, So that
a new book will be doubly welcome
to business men. Besides the regular
features that made the last book
especially priced, the new book will
also have directory Of the four rural
mail routes running out Of Greeley.
This list will alone be worth the
price Of the book, as outside Of the
one kept by the postotfice 1T will be
the only one in existence.

up his residence just for the Joy of
living, Ault would hardly recommend
itself. Just why so many people
have within the last year flocked to
the place is a mystery. But many
are already there and the population
is increasing every day. Just now
about half the population is made up
of carpenters and builders who are
busy as bees, putting up houses, busi-
ness blocks and warehouses to take
care of the citizens. Ault Is dry,
hot and dusty when the sun shines.
There has been no time for the
planting Of shade trees and improv-
ing door yards. All energy so far
has been directed toward providing
shelter, for man, beast and things.
Vegetation is being trampled down
by the scores of teams hauling
produce to town or hauling material
to the various buildings under con-
struction. That is why the person
Of easy habits should stay away from
Ault.
But, on the other hand, if man
OF woman has the proper hustle, and
can put up with the newness OF
things, and wants to start a business
of some kind there while there Is
good chance to 90 in on the ground
floor. now is the time to do so. The
town will likely have long and
healthful growth.
The story of the founding and
early growth OF Ault has been told
several times. Practically the first
man to stop there for day was
r.. L. Pence, still one OF the leading
merchants. He came there in 1897,
and for time lived in tent. a
little later he put up small frame
structure and laid in small supply
of merchandise. Even three years
ago this was about the only store and
building in the place. Then the
town suddenly took start and nov
there are 35 business establishments,
including bank. another almost
ready to open, newspaper, stores
with large stocks of merchandise, and
complete city government. Ihe peo-
ple claim 500 inhabitants.
A little over a year ago the only
store or building of any kind south
of what is termed Main street was a
small one-story frame structure occu-
pied by William T. Miller with a
stock of general merchandise. Now
starting from the west END OF the
street. there are completed, or nearly
so: Hudson Brothers furniture store,
a frame building; Or. McCain's drug
store, brick building, both occupied.

BOOM
NEW TOWN OF AULT BREAK
ING ALL RECORDS.
Youngest and Most Hustling
Town in Weld County
Building of Year
Phenomenal.

Unless person should see for
himself he would hardly believe the
stories about the remarkable growth
Of Ault, just at present the Iivllest
town compared with its size Of any
place in Weld county. The appear
ance Of the place now is not unlike,
In some respects, to the placing Of
the canvas for a large circus. Only,
the structures that are now being
erected in Ault are not Of the TEN.
porary kind. but several of the new
business blocks are Of red brick and
stone, and evidently built to stay.
But there is about the same activity
on the partly completed buildings
that is found on every hand when the
big circus reaches the lot in the
morning.

quiet, cool and shady place to take

SWEDES' CLUB
THEY HAVE ORGANIZED FOR
POLITICAL EDUCATION.
Will Demand Representation in
County Government.-Mass
Meeting to Be Held Here
August IS.

A called meeting of the Swedish
Americans Of Weld county was held
in the store of Rosen s. Borg Friday
evening for the purpose Of forming a
political club. About thirty-tve or
forty responded to the informal invl-
tation, and more political enthusiasm
was infused into the meeting than
the Swedish population has hereto
fore manifested In such matters.
Charles Lofgren was chosen chair
man, Alfred Rosen secretary and
August Anderson treasurer, of the
Swedish-American Political club.
1t is estimated that there are 500
Swedish votes in the county that
never come out on election day.
Some are naturalized Americans, but
heretofore have taken so little inter-
est In politics that the5 have not
voted. Others are entitled to citi-
zenship papers, but have not had
time so far to secure these necessary
documents. These votes, so some Of
the leaders IN the club movement
assert, are now going to be disturbed
in theiI quiet retreats and be hustled
out for political education. The
club is to be non-partisan, except as
one party or another may forward
the welfare Of the Swedish popula-
tion. With a representation Of 500
votes in the county, the Swedes be-
lieve they are entitled to a represen-
tation in the county government, and
this is what they are going after. 1t
is little uncertain yet whether the
organization can be SO far perfected
this fall as to he able to enforce a
demand for representation on either
the republican or democratic tickets,
but it is hoped to be in shape for
this by another election.
| To further complete the organiza-
tion and to stir up enthusiasm, a
mass meeting will be held In the
court house on the evening Of Thurs
day, August %, when State Auditor
Holmberg will be present to address
his countrymen. There will also be
several local speakers in attendance,

MORE GOOD RACES
Matinee Events of Last Thurs
day Excellent.

The matinee races last Thursday
were rather better attended than
usual and the time in the various
events fully justified the interest.
The gentlemen with good horsefiesh
in the city are gaining considerable
valuable experience in the practice of
driving, and are also bringing out
much better speed than they them
selves believed could be found in their
stock.
Today the biggest event Of the
season is supposed to take place, when
there win probably be between 900
and 1000 spectators at the races.
The full program Of the races will be
found in another column in the reg
ular Woodmen picnic program.

fine brick structure already under
construction in the west end Of town.
The next building is a two. story

COAL FOR WATER
Striking Comment on Value of
Irrigation Water.

1.-The farmers whose lands are wa
tered by the Larimer County ditch
find themselves in peculiar dilem-
ma" says the Fort Collins Express.
"They have 2EO, ,oOO 600 cubic feet of
water stored in six reservoirs; but all
of these reservoirs are situated lower
than the ditch, and the water is
therefore unavailable for use directly
on their farms. In years past, this
awkward situation has been easily
met by the we'll known exchange sys-
TEN, whereby the lower bitches used
water from the W. S. & S. company's
reservoirs, while that company took
in exchange the high water In the
river to which the lower bitches
were entitled by prior appropriation.
But the water Is now so low in
the river that these lower bitches
are not entitled to any water, and
therefore it Is impossible for the Wa
ter Supply & Storage company to
effect an exchange. Such was the
situation last week. OF course there
was no immediate peril, as the COM
pany has always Chambers lake to
fall back on, but Chambers lake is
the last resource and must be hus-
banded as long as possible to be used
for the last irrigation.
''B. F. Hotel has an early priority
on forty cubic feet of water per Sec
ond, which he used as power to oper-
ate his mill. After he has used it,
it goes to lower bitches for irriga-
tion. The scheme now in operation
by the Water Supply & Storage COM
pany is this:
'.Instead OF allowing forty cubic
feet OF water per second to run past
the headgate Of the Larimer County
ditch to be used by the flour mill,
this water is taken into the ditch
above Bellvue to be used for irriga-
tion. Then to compensate Mr..
Hotel for his loss OF power the w.
S. & S. people supply him at their
own expense with enough coal to run
hts mill by steam instead OF water.
But the lower bitches which are en-
titled to the water which passes
through Hotels mill are thus de-
prived OF their water. And to COM
pensate the lower bitches for this,
the Water Supply 4 Storage company
is obliged to turn into the river, from
its low reservoirs, an amount OF wa
ter equal to that taken out. Thus
they are Obliged to pay for the water
in coal, and besides that to return
it's exact equivalent. For the priv
iiege of exchanging low water for
high water, the company pays for
enough coal to run a flour mill. lt
Is a striking comment on the value
of water.
1.-The coal required to operate the
mill will cost the w. s. 4 S, Co.

heavy timbers and bricks. AS soon
as the flames were under control the
firemen and police, assisted by volun-

after the explosion all of them had
been taken out except Edward James,

under the timbers but was able to talk

to how to proceed. His injuries prov
