tion of the water problem for Greeley
is offered.
Several thinking citizens Of Gree
ley among them Dr. Milford and
Dr. Graham, have for some time
been studying the underfow of water
In the vicinity of Carr, on the Uuion
Pacific railroad, and they express it
as their candid opinion that this
supply is the most feasible of any.
The water there, they say, is soft
and pure. and others unite with
them in saying that the suppl, would
he sufficient. There can be no reg
ular surface water there. as no irri-
CATION exists above there. The wa
ter then must come through lnder-
ground channels direct from SHOWS
n the mountains. making the water
exactly what it would be il it were
taken out away up in the mountains.
That there is large supply Of
water in that vicinity is proven bj
the presence of several large springs.
such for instance as those used for
| irrisating the Davis ranch, not far
from Carr.
The cost Of construction In this
case would be cheap compared with
the cost OF system necessary to
bring the supply from the noun
tains. 1t might not even be nee
essary to pump the water out OF the
wells, as there would be sufficient
fall from Carr to Greelev to make a
gravity system possible, In that case
tie old pumping station could be
utilized as now to give the proper
pressure to the water in the city.
To insure a steady supply in case
direct pumping would be too heavy
drain upon the wells, a system OF
reservoirs could be utilized to take
the surplus Water when the demand
on the system was light.
The matter OF a right OF way for
the pipe line would probably be easy,
as there would likely be but little
difficulty in securing this from the
Union Pacific railroad,
Should a mmissiou be selected
Uv the city council to look up the
different possible sources OF water
supply this plan might well be con-
sdered as among the more favor

keenly felt.
This season gives promise OF being
successful one in the honey
business. Grasshoppers are not
very thick and the second crop of
alfalfa is doing we'll, except where it
was hailed out, and in this district
Charles Adams had about a half
dozea stations that will produce
nothing. The honey market Is hardly
open as yet, so that it is hard to tell
how the price Will be, but it will
likely run about six to seven cents a
pound for strained honey and 81. rs a
case for comb honey.

SHOW CLOSES
CARNIVAL OF FUN CAME TO
END SATURDAY.
Meritorious Exhibition in Which
Nobody Made Any Money
and But Few Lost
Anything.

The Greeley carnival came to AN
end late Saturday evening when the
biggest crowd OF the week had finally
dwinded down to few individuals,
and those few at last said farewell to
Cora, the ghost show and the hurdy-
gurdy, and went home.
Everybody who attended the carni.
val was satisfied with the entertain
ment, and said so. Some OF the
merchants were dissatisfied because
people did not spend as much money
IN the stores as was hoped. Othe rs
said it made but very little difference.
Still Others kicked some because OF
the drain on the financial resources
OF the town and country. This last
kick really looks a bit amusing In a
prosperous community like this. At
the outside there was less than 50, 700
taken in by all the shows combined.

the methods OF extracting honey from
the comb, and other details of the
business as condu cted on large scale.
Mr.. Adams has about | 200 stands OF
bees-more than all the other bee
keepers in this section together He
has eighteen different stations scat
tered all the way from kersey to
Windsor thus giving his bees a large
territory in which to WORK The
work of caring for the honey is all
done at his farm about half wa be-
tween Greeley and kersey, where he
has modern equipment to take care

busy at the work all the time. BY
centrifugal machine the honey is
extracted from the comb, strained
and clarified and put Into cans for
the market. Mr.. Adams sells but
little honey in the comos, declaring
that the strained honey is mUre sat

melt out the bees wax. AT the same
time the poorer quality OF honey lett
in the combs is separated and pre-
served to be used TO. food foI the
bees ea1ly in the spring when alfalfa
and other blossoms are scarce.
According to the statement OF MI
Adams stand Of bees will produce
anywhere from nothing to eighty
pounds of honey during a season, de-
pending upon the food supply.
Alfalfa is the principal flower upon
which the bees work, aud when this
supply is short the honey crop will
be shortened in proportion. In this
section the grasshopper is the princi-
pal enemy OF the industry, because
this pest also lives on .he alfalfa
flower. but unlike the honey bee 1t
eats up the entire flower while the
bee simply takes the honey. which Is
again replaced by the plant. When
finally the grasshopper las eaten all
the flowers from the alfalfa they are
! ready to begin operations on the rest
Of the plant. This leaves the bees
starving, and instead OF their produc-
ing honey it may be necessary to feed
them on the product already made.

more persons here who kept bees.

Avender Howard Loses Life while
Bathing.

Avender Howard, the l6 year-Uld
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. George Howard,
about five miles west OF Greeley, was
drowned in deep hole in the Grape
vine lateral ditch some time Thurs
day afternoon. The body was recov-
cred at about 6 80 in the evening by
James L. McCarter, who dived for 1t.
Young Howard went to the field,
some distance from the house, at
noon to irrigate some potatoes. Near
his..work was deep hole formed by
the larger ditch. which he and others
were IN the habit OF using for bath
ing. When the young man failed to
come home for supper the father
went in search of him, and found his
clothes on the bank of the hole.
Neighbors were called to assist in the
search, with the result that the body
was brought to the surface In a short
time.
Coroner Macy was called, but
deemed an inquest unnecessary, as
the cause OF death was so apparent.
The funeral services were held at

One would think that in this coun-
try of flowers and alfalfa where every
farmer raises hay enough to feed sew
eral head OF stock and as many head
OF horses the year round that each
one could raise feed enough for a few
stands OF honey bees. In spite Of
the fact that there are not more than
seven or eight bee keepers within ten
miles OF Greeley in any direction,
this territory is so we'll covered that
In many seasons the pasturape is in
adequate to the demand and the
honey industry is -eally nearly up to
the capacity Of the country. This Is
according to The statement OF Charles
Adams, king OF all the bee men of
Weld county.
Mr. Adams was found busy with
his bees and honey one day last week

Some Novel Evidence.

The following, according to the
Kansas City Star, is some of the evil
dence that Will be introduced in the
famous Kansas Colorado water rights
suit:
The attorneys for Kansas In the
Kansas Colorado irrigation suit are
preparing to prove by novel means
that there is AL undertow IN the
Arkansas river valley. One test of
the plan has been successful. The
attorneys will now put down five
driven wells near the river at place
to be chosen later. These wells will
go only to the underiow, which Is
less than ten feet deep in many
| places:
-Four OF the wells will be driven
at the corners OF quadrangle and
the fifth will be in the center. An
iline dye will then be poured into
the center we'll and four men will be
set to pumping out Of the four wells
at the corners. When this test was
tried near Wichita the wells down
stream from the center we'll showed
traces Of the dye within three min
utes after the men began to pump
and the wells up the stream did not
show trace Of coloring.
The Kansas attorneys are so we'll
satisfied with this test that it will
be repeated shortly in Kinsley and
% other places nearer the source Of
/ the river, The attorneys for Colo
RADIO and the irrigation companies
involved in the litigation deny that
there Is an underfiow n the river II
| this test proves it. the result will 90
toward decision favorable to Kan
sas. Ihe test will be in the pres
ence Of the special master in the
case who will hear the evidence for
the United States supreme court.
1t is being planned by the recently
organized Northumberland Sol diers'
and Sailors association to hold a
reunion and campfire some time this
coming fall. Should fair be held
at Fort Collins or Loveland it is
probable that the reunion will be
held at the same time.

TOOK A LONG WALK
F. E. Draper Does a Record
Breaking Stunt.

Tanned to cinnamon brown, F. E.
Draper, student in the Normal school,
came into town Thursday morning
after pedestrian experience that
perhaps few men in the state ever
equalled. From Sunday morning to
Thursday evening Mr.. Draper walked
from point about fifty miles west
OF Yampa, Routt county, to Boulder.
distance of not less than l5O miles.
This was not on a level, smooth
road either, but on his way he
crossed the Gore range OF mountains
into Middle park and the Continental
divide to leave the park.
Draper was member OF party
composed Of himself, S. l.. Hughell,
Harry Shook and Earl Beardsley, ho
left here June IA for an outing in
the mountains They drove to Steam
boat Springs and there the party sep
arated, Draper and Hughel going to
work on ranches iu Eoutt county and
the younger members OF the party
continuing fishing and conducting
their studies OF bugs and butterflies,
which was part Of the object Of the
trip. The two men who went to
work did so to help defray the ex-
pense Of the trip, and week age
Sunday they started on the home
ward journey. Mr.. Hughell is not
favored with an athletic frame like
Mr.. Draper and walked about twenty
FIVE miles with the latter, then
boarded an inviting stage for Wolcott
and from there took the Rio Grande
train for Denver. In order that he
might better resist the tempting
stage Nh. Draper handed his money
to Mr.. Hughell when they separated,
and then with not even blanket
and only 1925 in his pocket the win
ner of most OF the athletic events at
the Normal last term started out to
beat any and all his previous records
for endurance. He landed in Greeley
with Just i've cents in his pocket just
one day later than Mr.. Hughell, who
had travelled by horse and rail all
the way
Another good athletic feat that in
way is connected with that OF Mr..
Draper is that OF Ray Alexander, who
left here last Saturday morning on
his wheel and Wednesday pulled into
Glenwood Springs, having crossed the
mountains on the machine. AT
Glenwood 1T was arranged that he
should meet Harry Shook and Earl
Beardsley, the two members OF the
Draper Hughell party, and the three
to return to Greeley by easy stages.
1t is doubtful II any OF the other
students or teachers in the Normal
school have had more remarkable
vacation trip than the i've Young
men mentioned.

PRESERVING STANDARDS.


The one-hundred-foo rule in Trafal-
gar Square, London, which is the
standard Of length for all countries
that use the English system Of meas
ures Of length. is to be replaced says
the London Globe, by one better hous-
ed in Westminster Hall. The present
standard, which has been copied in
steel by tie government of the United
States, Is a bronze strip inlaid in gran
lite. 1t Is liable to slight inaccuracy
because 1t Is exposed to variations in
the atmosphere. 1t has stood In its
present site since 1876.
The requirements for standard Of
this sort are a long, level. dry plot,
protected from wilful damage and
from changes in the air, and yet ac-
cessible to the public in such a way
that workers can compare measures
with 1t undisturbed by idlers. West

the purpose. The new standard wall

of an inch.

ing the various standards, but mono

In Swedish tiltering paper. placed in a
silver-gilt case, packed in solid,

screws and sealed. The gun-metal
yard is placed on eight rollers in u
