WERE SHOWN
PARTY OF DAKOTA MEN SAW
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Did Not Believe in Its Benefits
Until a Visit to Poudre
at Expense of the
Government

All the way from South Dakota to
Greeley In charge of a United
States government engineer, and
all their expenes paid by the govern
ment, in order that they might see
and understand the benefits of irriga-
tion is the experience of party of
land owners that visited this section
last Friday and Saturday.
The men in the party we're WILL
lam Schmile, George Mass, Charles
Wilson. James Hodgson and Han
ford Beals of Vale, N. D.. Nels
Sorenson, Sonoma; w. S. Hamilton,
Belle Fourche; d. NJ. Laughlin,
Strugis; and G. G. Dennis of Dead
wood. They came accompanied by
Ray Walters, formerly of Greeley,
now government surveyor.
The men are land owners I'M
der the new government irriga-
tion system at Belle Fourche,
and were men that had to be
shown. The government requires
that wherever it constructs reservoirs
or canals, all the land owners must
come in under the system, and no
one is allowed to hold more than 100
acres under the system. This is to
give actual settlers the preference.
The men in question own large tracts
of land that they are unwilling to let
go Of, on the pretext that they do not
believe in irrigation, that it is of very
little benefit, etc. 1t was to over
come this feeling that the govern
ment paid the expenses of the party
to visit the Poudre valley.
The Dakota men arrived on the
morning train from Cheyenne Friday,
and that day looked about Greeley
for while, visiting the sugar factory
and other places of interest. Next
they took carriages and drove to
Eaton, where they stopped over
night. Saturday morning they
drove to the Windsor reservoir and
from there to the town of Windsor,
where they took dinner. In the
afternoon they drove to Fossil creek
reservoir, and from there, to Fort
Collins, by the way of the Agricul-
tural college. After visiting several
reservoirs and canals in the vicinity
of Fort Collins the party returned
to South Dakota. with their eyes
much opened over what they saw.

Repairing Reservoir.

The dam of the big Latham reser-
voir, three miles southeast of Evans, is
undergoing considerable repair where
it had been washed. AT the south
west end of the dam Marsh & NOlin
are putting about l4,000 yards of earth
into the dam, raising it some at
the lower end, but more to replace
embankment that has washed away.
They will also level up the top of the
entire length of the dam and thus
make travel there safer. AS it is
now the roadway slopes toward the
water at dangerous degree. The
outlet from the reservoir to the
Latham ditch is also to be enlarged
the entire distance greatly increasing
its carrying capacity. More riprap-
ping with stone will also be done Oh
the dam.

THOSE WHO WON
Latest Returns from Election
Show Winners.

The election returns as reported
by the different precinct judges are
now all in, and will be found on the
table published elsewhere in this
issue. While these figures will no
doubt be changed slightly in the
official count. in the mian they are
correct. The only place there is room
for doubt is in the matter of county
clerk. Returns so far show that
Charles Davis of Erie is elected by
slight majority over w. Il. Adams,
the present county clerk, who ran on
the citizens and democratic ticket.
w. l.. Clayton defeated II. E.
Churchill for state senator, and
Stephen A. Bradtield won over War
ren Nj. Morse for commissioner of
district No. l. All the other offices
were filled by republicans.
On the state ticket Alva Adams
was probably the only democrat
elected. The senate will be demo-
cratic. but the house will probably
be republican.
The board Of election canvassers is
now in session, and the official count
will be tinisled either today or to
morrow

JOLLY ELKS
THEY WILL GIVE A NIGHT
IN BOHEMIA
All Is Done for Sweet Charity's
Sake-Cast of Characters
That Have Already
Been Assigned

The Greeley lodge of Elks are
nearly ready to give their Nigth in
Bohemia. All the principal parts
have been assigned and rehearsals
are being held frequently. The per-
formance promises to be even more
popular than was the burlesque cir
Gus given by the order last winter.
"A Night in Bohemia" will be given
in the opera house on the evenings
of Nov. % and %.
A. T. Hale, who owns the pro-
duction and superintends the work,
which is all done by local taletn has
been in the city for some time busy
finding the right talent and drilling
the chorus. From him was learned
the story of the musical comedy. The
plot hinges about Edmond Keene,
retired actor and thorough Bohem-
ian, who because he believes his
friends do not fully appreciate his
hospitality removes to the country
and secludes himself from them.
This part will be taken by Former
Adjutant General B. F. Klee. As
the old man, is almost dying of dis
pair and loneliness for the good old
days, his friends suddenly drop in on
him and surprise him. Their COM
ing, one by one or in groups is the
excuse for each to show his talents
in specialties, and the old man again
enjoys the free comradery and Bo-
hemian life of the actor folks that
was his when in the city.
Some pathos and lots of humor and
comedy runs through the story as it
is unfolded with many specialties by
local talent.
Other parts in the piece that have
been assigned are Frank Bons, as
Dusty Rhoades, Traveller on foot
DR.. G.. w. Graham, as Officer Gala
han, one of the finest; Harry Wyatt,
as Tommy Jiggs, a Bowery boy Miss
Alexia Meade, as Dolly Mobiles: Wal
ter Abbott, as George Thatcher, a
coon: A. L. Hale as Frohman.
In addition to the above cast,
there will be large chorus. number
ing probably 10 voices.
The performance is strictly an Elk
play. and is given for the benefit OF
the charity fund of the local lodge.
When the thing was given in Den
yer few weeks ago it was one one OF
the most popular attractions of the
day.

Sounds a Warning.

Editor of The Tribune: Having
shown a great deal of fairness to
both parties in the recent political
campaign | would like to request a
little of your space for warming to
the successful candidates. This is,
that they go not outside OF the
party ranks for their appointments
and that they appoint only good
men to deputy and clerkships, re-
gardless of boss dictation. The cleo
tion has shown that the people have
no use for a boss, and the present
county officers would do well to
heed the voice of the people.

BIRDS Go BATHING
Temperature at Zero Adds Zest
to the Sport.

A flock of su0wbirds, ranging in
number from twenty to one hundred,
can he seen any morning alongside
of the city hall taking cold bath.
They have discovered that Marshal
Camp every morning runs out fresh
water on the ground for the squir-
rels to drink from and wash their
faces in. so the little feathered
creatures also have taken to bath
ing there. Friday morning when
the thermometer stood near zero and
the water CONCEALED quickly after
being run out, large flock of the
birds played and splashed about in a
pool of it. like boys in swimming
hole. They would dive their little
heads away under and then shake
themselves until the water flew in
all directions. 1t made spectators
shiver to watch them, but the birds
were apparently oblivious to every
thing except the business in hand.
People fond of birds could have
the pleasure of seeing the same kind
of performance. if they would place
a tub or other large vessel with water
in their yards, as the birds quickly
learn where the water is kept and
will visit the place every day for
drink and bath.

1t was away back in the middle

boyhood days had been spent at peg

came west to seek bis fortune. He
drove across the plains in prairie

stopped at Golden, then the capital
of Colorado, sold his outfit and put
on again his cobbler's leather apron.
/. A. II. Studley, an itinerant
preacher of the Christian church,
was also cobbling shoes at Golden.
The two men joined forces under
the firm name of Douglas & Studley.
Their place of business was in

down last year. 1t stood next to

three years as mender of old shoes.
Day after day he sat and cobbled,
listened smilingly to the neighbOrs

sign of more than ordinary energy

such. Everybody liked him, because
he was so simple. friendly and demo-
cratic, but nobody guessed he would
go far In the struggle for success.
But Douglas knew that some day he
was going to do something bigger
than cobble shoes. He sold out his
little shop and went to BrocktOn,

Six years ago, when he spent \

he told General West of the Golden
Transcript that he had s4OO left after
