BUILDING NEW CITY
Many New Houses Going Up on
The Hill.

Present indications are that a
new city will spring up on the hill
in the vicinity of the stand pipe
next spring. Edwin Coles has be-
gun the erection of a large new two
story residence at the corner of Tenth
avenue and Crawford Place.
Mrs. Nelson Demorest has pur-
chased lot on Eleventh avenue in
Crawford and will build a handsome
residence there next spring.
Professors W. G. Chambers. Abram
Gideon and G.. w. Barrett have each
purchased lots in the same vicinity
and will build residences there next
spring.
b. ID. Sandborn, agent for the
property has had a lot $50 by 100 feet
laid out, and is going to plant trees
and shrubbery there this winter pre-
paratory to making this his home
place. The sewer, contract for
which was recently let is being con-
structed now in the alley between
Tenth and Eleventh avenues.
Several other houses, mention OF
which has been made heretofore, are
also either being erected now or will
be in the near future.

NEW SUGAR FACTORY
This May Be Built in Weld
County by Brooklyn Men.

A new sugar factory, to be To-
Gated in the St. Vrain country, to be
operated Independently of all the
other sugar factories of northern Col
orado, may be one of the new Weld
county enterprises for next season. 1t
is said to be just matter now OF
securing $500 acres of beets for the
factory to be built. G. Reeve, a
Brooklyn capitalist is back of the
new enterprise with money and it is
expected that some Denver money will
also be put into the scheme.
There is large section of beet
country along the st. Nrain. that
none of the present sugar companies
can touch, for the lack of transpOr-
tation facilities. This will be any
where from twelve to eighteen miles
to the Longmont and Loveland sugar
factories, and the nearest shipping
point is Platteville, where the beets
could be shipped to the Greeley fac
tory.

TACK in Her THROAT
Little Girl Kept it For More
Than Five Years.

After having carpet tack stored
away in some part of her throat or
lungs for five years, and having been
an invalid from the effects of it,
seven years old Beulah Hennick,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Hennick, living at the corner of
Fourth street and Twelfth avenue
last Sunday coughed it up.
Five years ago when the family
was living in Missouri and the little
girl was but two years old, one day
while PLAYING with her mother the
baby accidentally inhaled something
into her windpipe. 1t could not be
ascertained at the time what this
something was, but the child grew
i'll, and has been under the doctors
care good share of the time since.
Last spring they came to Colorado
in the hope that the change of eli
mate would improve the little girls
health. Her constant coughing in
dicated consumption or lung trouble
of some kind. Last Sunday morning
after a violent spell of coughing the
child said she felt something hard
in her throat. A second spell of
coughing brought up the carpet tack
all covered with mucuS.

SKELETONS
These Were Found By John
Smith Recently.

An archaeological find that may be
of considerable historical value was
made by John Smith, farmer about,
four miles east of the city IA few days
ago while leveling off high knoll in
his field The find was composed Of
parts of four skeletons, evidently of
Indians buried many years ago. The
ground there has the appearance of
having at one time formed part of
the Poudre river bed, and this knoll
was probably an island.
Too many of the bones were
broken and decomposed to recon-
struct a complete skeleton. but there
were parts of four different skulls,
and the bones lay in such position
that it was evident that the bodies
had all been buried at one time.
They had evidently been dumped
into hole in the ground before they
had stiffened up, as they had been
doubled up couple of times.
One of the skulls was peculiar in
that there was absolutely no joint in
it. 1t was also of unusual thickness
and the forehead very low, in fact
the eyes had evidently been placed so
that they could almost look over the
top of the head. William Patterson,
who lives nearby, has this skull now.
A leg bone, the femur, or upper
bone of the leg, was found that
measured two and a half feet in
length. This would indicate that
the owner must have been about
eight feet high.
1t is probable that the mound con-
tains many more bones, and posi-
bly other Indian relics.

dotaihed, and they were married by
Rev. Walton of the German L.uth-
eran church. In spite of this the
Cheyenne county authorities main
tain that the Kruses are not man and
wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kruse returned to
Greeley Saturday evening and went
to the home of their cousin, Herman
kruse of Pleasant valley.
In order that there might be no
doubt about the legality of their
marriage, Mr.. and Mrs. Kruse came
to the county clerks Office here
Monday and took out new mrriage
license and Jutice f. p. House per-
formed the marriage ceremony for
them.
Mr.. Kruse stated in regard to the
name of Hoffman, given by his wife
in Laramie, that this was her legal
name. Although they were by
blood, first cousins, his wife, when
but a child was adopted by a family
in Germany, by the name of Hoff-
man, but in applying for marriage
license had first given her name as
kruse, which was her name at birth.

A HUGE SITE
RESERVOIR OF JUMBO SIZE
MAY BE BUILT SOON
Will Be Located Near Denver
and Cover 10, 900 Acres
B. D. Sanborn is
Interested

b. ID. Sanborn spoke before the
Denver Real Estate exchange yester-
day afternoon on irrigation and the
water exchange system.
Two things were made public in
this address that have never been
told in print before, and of which
not over half dozen people ever
were aware. One of these was the
prospect of the construction near
Denver of one of the largest storage
reservoirs in the world. There is
site there within an hours ride of
Denver that covers anywhere from
5000 to $1,000 acres, according to the
height of the dam. This would hold
from five billion to ten billion cubic
feet of water. The benefit to the
country about Denver by the storage
of such volume of water could
hardly be estimated. Thousands upon
thousands of acres of land that are
now virgin prairie could be brought
under cultivation, and instead of
great cactus beds, productive gardens
would surround the city. The eX-
change systems would have to be en-
ployed, but that is just as good as
direct water for the bitches. Just
what Denver people will do about
the scheme that Mr.. Sanborn but
gave them a glimpse of remains to
be seen. but it would appear that Mr..
Sanborn is in position to do prac-
tically the same for the region around
Denver that he has done in the
Poudre valley in the way of storage
reservoirs.
Another matter of which Mr.. San
born spoke, and which is interesting
principally from geological point
of view is that of the damming up of
the Laramie river bya huge rock and
earth slide. perhaps thousands of
years ago, and thus diverting the
| water of a huge water Shed into the
Poudre river. The narrow canon Of
the Laramie, in the vicinity of Cam
eron Pass, was filled up and Cham
bers' Lake was formed. AS this
filled up, the water gradually found
an outlet to the east, and soon
| washed out bed that is now known
| as the middle fork of the Poudre
river. A little study of the map,
providing a trip to the region is not
feasible, will show that such a
change has taken place there once
upon time. This incident in the
| exchange of water was mentioned by
Mr.. Sanborn to show that Dame
Nature had thought of bringing water
over the range long before Greeley
people awoke to its Importance.

Unknown Man Dead.

Henry Wolfe, an old man who has
been selling spectacles and cheap
jewelry on the streets of Greeley Off
and on for the last twenty years,
died In the county hospital Saturday.
He was buried Sunday by Bills Broth
ers at the expense of the county.
The old man was rather a charac-
ter in his way, and although he knew
nearly everybody in Greeley, no one
knew anything about him, outside of
his little business. He came here
about week ago and started to do
business as of old, but soon was taken
sick and had to be taken to the hos
pital Friday morning.

American VS.. Russian Tars.

George A. Randolph returned
Thursday. after three weeks visiting
his mother and brother William d.,
in Fresno and San Francisco, Califor-
mia. While in the latter city Mr..
Randolph visited the Russian cruiser
that is detained by the federal gov
ernment She is guarded by the
torpedo boat destroyers Alert and
Paul Jones and the visitor is immed-
lately confronted with American
and Russian sailormen and their
methods. On the American destroy
ers the decks were as clean and as
tidy as a housekeeper's kitchen floor
and all the brass was polished so that
it shone: the officers and men were
well dressed and cleanly in appear
ance and the latter were intelligent
looking and quick in action.
But a noticeable difference was OBJ
seryable on the Russian cruiser.
The officers were a stated imperiouS
set while the men looked more like
ant OmatOnS than human DeihSS'
They were dirty, almost filthy, in
person and dress, and the decks and
bulwarks would shock smart ap-
prentice in the American navy,
looking as if they were utter strangers
to soap. water or holystone. While
thc American looked smart ana
active, his Russian brother was
more like an OK and all acted as II
they were aboard their country BAT
tleships under compulsion. a general
feeling of ignorance and apathy doml-
mated the crew and this tended to
clear away the mystery OF Japan S
supremacy over her northern enemy
on the high seas.

{2.oo A YEAR

Irrigation company and the speci-
mems will compare favorably with
the best products grown in the Gree
ley district. The barley is clean. of
a bright color and the kind that is
sought by brewers. The wheat, win
ter red, is large and full grained,
and the oats are white and firm. A
large Yellow Denver onion is proof
of what can be raised there, but the
potatoes are specially fine and would
please any of our farmers. The
specimens sent are Burbanks, Blue
Victors, Pearls and Rose Seedlings,
and some of them will weigh from
two to three pounds, while they are
as smooth as marbles. Judging
from the lot, and supposing it to be
a fair sample of that country's pro-
duction. the Billings district bids
fair to rival the famous Greeley
district.

God be left out of the life He has given and be supplanted by the paltry crea- lures of His own making?
 It is true that religion has been most deeply wounded in the house of it's friends, but this no more vacates the need of it than the formerly crude and cruel methods of surgery vacate the need of the more competent and help ful methods of to-day, or the -adninis- tration of amulets, charms, mystery-po- tions, snake ashes and the like as medi- cine vacate. the need of present thera- peutics. Incompeteney never vacates necessity.
 The affections are to be set upon heavenly things because the philosophy of affection demands a higher object than self for true expression. No soul can rest satisfied by anything lower than it's highest appreciation. God sup ports the claims of the sou of man and supplies every demand by the reve- lation of His competency. The soul can not be appeased or placated in it's de- rnands by anything but tLe natural sup ply It calls for God and Will not be satisfied with property or place. The condition of the soul is internal and not created by pride of wealth or sta- ton. In truth, soul peace is unmixed with either the pleasures or pains of this world-life. It is the peace of God which passeth human understanding, but which is practical to human expe- rience

SERMON BY REV. MIR. KIDD
DELIVERED ATTRINITY METHO-
 DIST CHURCH.
The Uplifting of Thought to Things

The Uplifting of Thought to Things
 Above Not Material, But Spiritual and
 Eternal.
 Rev. MT. Kidd, the new pastor of Trinity M. E. church, addressed a large congregation yesterday morning, his text being:
 Collossians s:2-"set your affections upon things above, not on things on the earth"
 MT. Kidd spoke with force and power and said in substance as follows:
 This text seems contradictory of hu- man observation and experience. Man seems wholly fitted for this world life; physically he and the world seem re- ciprocal; mentally, his faculties and talents seem to point to this life as their particular sphere of activity; nor ally, also, there seems necessity for truth justice and honesty. Socially, governmentally and industrially, he seems especially fitted for this world. To live for the phenominal seems cer- tainly more oratical and rational than to borrow upon ideals for objects of liv- ing.
 The religious life has been severly criticized as destructive of the qualities that made worldly success possible. That it is unnatural and hence un- adapted to methods of earth life. Whilst in world company, in business, society and politics all of the foregoing seems and sounds true. But. somehow, man appears indifferently to himself when alone. lust as soon as one can ponder his life, it's why and wherefore, he finds larger room for self than the practice of getting the ascendaney over his fel- low. And somehow that unnatural and idyllic something called religion is pe- culiarly and nightly comforting when one retires within himsef. Its very other-worliness seems to fill the need and brings joy and peace to the self or soul. In the secret of selfhood, oth- -worldliness seems bound to intrude itself. If God made man for this world only, why does this desire for other worldliness so persistently urge itself upon him? Surely the personal con- sciousness was not given man as a misguide!
 Out of sight and sound of business and society we are vastly different creatures, our pretenses are gone, and alone with self we see how frail we are. and how little we have to boast. We may bury these facts from public gaze, but they stand plain, unvarnished r
 The supreme sin of humanity is this worldliness as contrasted with other worldliness. In plain terms, in living this world only, and thus decrying God His place IL His universe. Why should
