Washout on u. P.

A washout near Fort Morgan on
the Julesburg branch OF the Union
Pacific railroad compelled trains
bound for Omaha and other points
east to come through Greeley last
Friday. A train load of sheep sent
out from here Thursday evening by
way of LaSalle was brought back
here and sent around by way of
Cheyenne. The washout was near
the mouth of Wildcat creek, down
which big flood of water rushed
from heavy rain up the stream.

Boom at P1atteville.

Some time ago the Tribune pub
lished a story about Platteville In
which it was asserted that this long
slumberfng burgh was about TO
take on new life. Now the story
comes that some of the most promi-
nent men in that vicinity are about
to establish q chain Of department
stores In Platteville, Fort Lupton
and Brighton in order to keep all
trade at home that now goes TO
Denver. The stores, as planned
will be much larger and better sup
piled than any other IN that part OF
the country.
That is good beginning, and

when once a start is made other en-
terpriSes are sure to follow. They
have had pretty prosperous year in
the vicinity of Platteville, not alone
in their beet and other crops, but
the stock raising business has been
the best the past winter in many
years. So much stock is being ship
ped flom that station at present that
the railroad company has been
obliged to enlarge the stock yards
three times their present capacity.

Met Peculiar End.

While playing in her yard last
Wednesday evening the little 3 year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard Lee of Windsor, fell head fore
most into a posthole which was filled
to depth of about six inches with
water, and when found shortly after
wards by the mother death by
downing had claimed the child. A
physician was summoned and after
working for two hours over the little
one, his efforts to produce life In
the body Of the infant were fruit

AWFUL
1T SWEEPS DOWN FROM THE
HILLS ABOVE GREELEY
Entire West half of City Sub.
merged Doing Great Deal of
Damage to Property of
all Kinds

One of the most frightful thunder
storms ever experienced here passed
over Greeley and surrounding country
last Monday evening. The precipi-
tation of rain was so heavy that it
filled Ditch No. 3 to overiiowing
and flooded the greater part Of the
city, doing incalculable damage.
Gardens in Gipson, where some of
the finest truck farms in the country
are located were completely laid
waste, while hundreds of easements
in the city were flooded and lawns
almost completely ruined.
The lightning was about the most
vivid ever seen here and the roar of
thunder was almost continuous.
The rain and hail upon the houses
was almost deafening at times.
Ii was while the elements were
still raging at their worst that the
enormous quantity of water gathered
on the watershed south and west of
the city came sweeping toward the
city and washed over the dyke OF
No. 3 ditch and then continued on
through the city.
Out in the Gipson country the
damage to gardens will be enormous.
The water covered the gardens fol-
days after the rain. The home OF
Gust Mellin in that section was
struck by lightning and literally
torn to pieces. The family dog was
killed but no member of the family
injured.
When the worst of the rain was
over, but the flood was still continu
ing undated, scores of men witt
lanterns went to the bank of the bis
ditch to discover il it was broken.
No break was found however, and all
attention was turned toward chang
ing the course of the different
streams to where they might do the
least damage.
Several of the streets and avenues
leading from the west and soutl
were veritable rivers running like
mill races with water in some place:
eighteen inches deep. These streams
in turn flooded all the cellars anc
lawns along their course. Here men
were splashing about helplessly. try
ing to find some way of turning the
rivers.
The rain slackened at about 10 30
and shortly after this the water be-
gan to subside, the moon came out
and looked down upon what looked
like village in lake.
Long before daylight the street:
were dry enough again for travel,
but many people were still unable t6
leave their houses, because the water
was still deep all about them.
| Out in the country a considerable
number of small bridges were wash
ed out, and some damage was done
to crops, but it is not believed tt
be very great. The delay of severa
days work, owing to the muddy con
dition of the soil will probably bt
the biggest loss.
According to Observer Evans al
the State Normal school 4 precipita
| tion of |. IS inches of rain fell, which
is the greatest ever recorded here II
that length of time.
A peculiar coincidence with this
flood was that it came almost eXactl,
upon the anniversary of the grea'
flood that came down the Poudr'
river one year ago. That flood cam'
on May 2l, and this one on May -.
In some respects this flood wa'
similar to one which occurred ont
afternoon last summer when th'
| ditch overran in the same way.

Additional Possibilities Presented.

need it so badly, cheap fuel; the

ments must needs be added TO an
already exceptionally complete

creations share of the days mo-
ments; the dipping vat being
erected with its corresponding
possibility of II livestock market

ments being spoken of and cor
responded about there are yet
other possibilities for San An
cello. The Press calls attention
to the following news item in one
of the daily papers:
Sherman, Texas, April r.
Fulton S. White, industrial
agent for the Frisco, was here
yesterday afternoon to confer
with the secretary of the North
Texas Dairy association, concern
ing the meeting to be held here
Friday afternoon, when some de-
finite action will he taken with
reference to securing the location
of a large creamery here.
Aud the suggestion is made:
Why not creamery for San
Angelo? There is small question
but that it would be a paying in-
vestment and there are lots of
capitalists who are looking for
paying Investments. The matter
of finding one who would be will
ling to put the creamery here
should be u simple one for a Bust
ness Club committee How do
you like the suggestion? Don't
you think that there IS enough
creamery butter sold in San An
CELLO to take care of the output Of
an ordinary creamery? Don't
you think that the place to pro-
duce the best manufactured
article is that place where the
raw material is most abundant?
And isn't West Texas cattle
country? What else could one
want?

The Permanency OF the Prosperity
of West Texas.

In the meantime cut that cot
ton acreage about 30 per cent,
plant more grain, raise more po-
tatoes, don't forget the chicken
and egg output, raise carload of
hogs, prepare for next winters
turkey demand and things will be
all right for Texas.-Ft. Worth
Record.
You amt talking to the stock
farmers, the ranchmen or the
farmers of West Texas, Diversf-
cation is reality in this section
The cowman is, for diversity,
raising goats, hogs, sheep, horses
and mule. The farmer raises a
little cotton, patch of corn, a
full measure of feed stuifs, has
his own hogs, cows, horses and
occasionally finds some other fea-
ture Of farm life which helps
along.
The Press sees in this very sat
factory condition Of affairs the
reason for that measure Of pros
perity which abounds in this sec
ton. Around every farmers
barn yard and at every ranch
house one may find chickens,
turkeys, guineas, geese and other
profitable fowls. There is also,
without scarcely an exception,
pen of hogs, several head OF
beef cattle, some horses or mules
and many times other domestic
animals of value, These are only
side issues, the diversities which
are helping to make the farmers
life the most independent of al
lives.
Diversification is theme upol
which The Press has often founC
it advisable to preach. And di
versifcation applies to the rancl
az we'll as to the farm. Even thu
man with the little 50x200 #
lot in the city can find room for
and profit in, the practice of it,

Carnival, sure thing!

A town that never has any
thing to do in a public way is on
the way to the cemetery. Any
citizen who will do nothing for
his town is helping to dig the
grave. A man that cusses his
town furnishes the coffin. The
one who is so selfish as to have
no time from his business to give
to city affairs is making the
shroud. The merchant who will
not advertise is driving the
hearse. The man who is always
pulling back from any public en-
terprise throws boquets on the
grave. The man who Is so stingy
and selfish as to be always howl
ing hard times breaches the fun
eral and sings the doxology, and
thus the town lies buried, free
from all sorrow and care.-EX.
