BEEBE DRAW
LITTLE WORLD BY ITSELF
IN WELD COUNTY.
Section of Country About Twelve
Miles Southeast of Greeley
Inhabited Entirely
by Russians.

Anyone interested in local geCg-
raphy-irrigatlng bitches, reservoirs,
hills and hollows-if he is not already
familiar with the topography of
that section, will by glance at a
map of Weld county notice the pecul-
iarly crooked course taken by what Is
known as the. Platte Valley Irrigation
canal directly southeast of LaSalle.
Running first in generally north
eastern direction from in the yicin-
ity of Plattev;ile, it reaches to about
the center of section Ii, township 4,
range Us west, and then starts on a
rapid slope almost straight south for
six miles. Then as if not satisfied
with this country it turns suddenly
northward again. returning to a point
but little ovei two miles east of
where it first started on Its southern
TIP. This forms Beebe Draw. a part
of the county, which, although within
twelve miles Of Greeley and known

to nearly everybody by name, IS, new
ertheless, a region that is known TO
but a few here. There are two prln-
cipal reasons for this, the practical
isolation OF the place from the rest OF
the cultivated section of the county,
and the fact that the inha b!tants are
almost to man Russians VINO mix
but little with tie people outside OF
then little settlement.
The description of the course OF
the canal gives the key to the isoia-
tion OF Beebe Draw. The often
climbs as, far up on the Highlands as
it can ana still carry water. OUTSIDE
of the ditch surrounding Beebe Draw
is the open range with little OF no
yepetation. Inside of the ditch IS
fine section of farming country, "heEe
about fifty families live. There are
lso two coal mines, two churches "a
Baptist and a Seventh Day Advent
ist), a school house and a creamery.
On three sides the outlook from the
Draw is limited to the ditch line
Even looking westward toward the
mountains, the hills above the dltch
cut off the view of the tallest range
at the snow line. Only toward the
north is there a narrow opening
where the people can look out ana
see the clear blue water of Latham
Lake, niue miles from the upper end
of the Draw, or if they live on the
eastern slope may see Evans to the
northwest.
The first view one obtains OF Beeoe
Draw as he come in over a hafo
beaten prairie road from the west Is
that of pretty valley with green
fields and many substantial and neat
looking houses and barns. There Is
an air of quiet over the valley that
seems absent IN other Agricultural
districts. On the sides of the mis-
the sun seems to shine Just niue
hotter than anywhere else IN Coio-
rado. But that may be all imaEIna-
ton, as is perhaps also that aboul
the unusual quiet. Neverthe'ess'
there seems to be something 10 us
,ippuish the valley from the fesl Vi

MORE MONEY FREE
Tribune Will Again Give Away
Cash.

Next week The Tribune will again
give cash and other prizes to readers
Of advertisements. The success Of
the last effort Of that kind was so
great that for the benefit of readers
and advertisers alike the prize ad
reading contest will be repeated.
Said one merchant few days after
the last contest, II had a larger
trade as result Of that ad than l
have enjoyed at any time before since
the Christmas holidays" Does that
not speak volumes for the plan?
The prizes will be the same as be-
fore, with several more added,
S2.5 so for the first correct answer
to the ads, Sl.5O for the next, and 81
for the third person to send in the
correct answer. In addition to that
the next six will each be given box
of fancy stationery, and the next six
a box Of fine candy each.
In order that everyone, even in the
most remote parts OF the county, may
have the same chances as those living
in Greeley the letters containing ans
wers will not be opened until the fol-
lowing Monday morning, when they
will be taken at random, numbered
and then opened. This makes 1t is
as fair to one as to another. Watch
for the story with explanation of how
