w. II. Dedrich of Denver sent a
communication Offering to sell to the

was at first understood.
A proposition 10y George Houston to
trade land on the north side of Eighth
street, next to the city gravel pit,
for an equal amount owned by the
city south of the road. was referred
to the street committee.
A. Is. Copeland appeared before
the council with request that the
council provide for an inspection of
sewers. closets and other unSanitary
places, and to have all residents
along lines of sewers to connect with
same. The steady growth of typhoid

asked for damages because it was sup
posed to have been caused by Il

FIGHT THEM NOW.

The green trading stamp man is
with us us again. Or rather he has
been with us and has promised to
come back the latter part OF this
week. Meantime the business men of
the town are fortifying themselves
against his assault.
The trading stamp is one of the
worst curses that the business men OF
recent years have had to contend
with. 1t is Il straight case OF
| having to dig from five to te n
per cent of the earnings of Il
house to the stamp men, without a
dollars worth of extra business in
return. Merchants who are ap-
preached by the agents of trading
stamp companies should not take up
with the scheme without consulting
their fellow merchants, many of
whom have already had experience
with the trading stamp. The trading
stamp had secured something of a
foothold in Greeley some years ago,
and the experience of those days
ought to be fresh enough in the
memory of some of the merchants
not to be caught again. At that
time there were instances where the
| little trinketS that were given as
prizes for the trading stamps, cost
the customer l 200 per cent more than
they could buy the same thing for
at legitimate sale.
Merchants of Denver are just now
in legal struggle with the stamp
people, who are making catspaws of
the Lewis & Son and Hurlbut COM
panies in fighting the ordinance
against trading stamps. The stamp
people have lost out in the lower
court and have appealed to the su-
preme court, thus showing to what
extremes they will go to foist their
wares on the merchants.
The best way to fight them is for
the merchants to absolutely refuse
to go into the scheme, for once they
secure a foothold, and in spite of
contracts that only two stores in each
line can have the stamps, it will
eventually result in every store in
the city having to take up with the
scheme. For there are as many
colored stamps as there are hues in
the rainbow, and each color is en-
titled to two stores in each line. 1t
will then simply mean toll of from
five to ten per cent of the business OF
the town going to foreign trading
stamp company.
Fight them now while there is
time.

Not Pleased.

A. l.. Camp. Jr. is home from Fort
Collins, where he went with the pac-
ing horse. Due Hal. Owing to GER
tain conditions peculiar to that city
regarding the entrance of horses,
which were not in accord with any
rule heretofore known to man, Mr..
Camp refused to enter and returned
home. He does not think the much
talked-of race between the 2-year-old
PAGERS, Halina Morgan of Greeley
and Helen Gould of Fort Col
lins will materialize, as Helen is
lame and her owner says it is not
certain he will start her. This race
has been used for drawing card for
weeks past, and the statement has
been repeatedly made in the Denver
and other papers that there was a
side bet of 1000. The fact of the
matter is that there never has been
side bet of any amount made. But
the association has offered purse of
$3.50 for 2-year-old class. The
Collins people at present do not
seem inclined to speculate on the
event, which strengthens the belief
that there will be no race between
them. Mr.. Morgan does not think
they will race, but is very anxious
they should, as he feels very confident
of the result.
