Dipping Bill Approved.

The house committee on stock has
ordered Mr.. Baer's bill giving the
state board of stock inspection au-
thority to compel the dipping of
cattle for mango or other infectious
disease. reported favorably for pas
sage. Secretary McCrillis of the
state board, State Veterinarian Lamb
and Secretary johnson of the state
association appeared before the COM
mittee and explained the necessity
for the law and it will be pushed
to passage in both branches Of the
assembly.
When this bill becomes law it
will enable the state board to COM
pei stockment to clean up the mango.
While a majority of the stockmen
are anxious to clean up there Is
always few who refuse to act.
Under the new law the state board
will have authority to gather such
cattle and dip them and sell what
is necessary of the cattle to pay the
expense. Record Stockman.

Hochl The Colorado Hen.

A new breed of Colorado hen has
been discovered on the farm of John
Emerson, six and half miles north
west of the city; kind that lays
three eggs at a time, and doesn t
cackle very much about it either.
Last Thursday Mrs. Emerson brought
to The Tribune office what is prob
ably the biggest curiosity in the
way of an egg ever turned out by. a
barnyard fowl. There were really
three eggs in one. The first, or outer
shell was larger than turkey egg.
There was little or no meat inclosed
in this she'll, but there were two
regular sized eggs inside it when the
shell was opened. One of these is
still inside, while the other was
broken to discover what it contained.
There was very little meat in either
of the eggs, so that for cooking pur-
poses they may never become popu-
lar, but for stocking museum or
side show, they have never been
Outdone.

Where is Robert Jones?

A lady by the name of Stella
Houghton has written The Tribune
from st. Louis, Mo-, asking this
papers assistance in finding her Is
year old son, whom she believes is
some place near Greeley in the
sheep business, or herding sheep.
She has not heard from him since
last November, although he for
merly wrote from once to twice
each week. The boys name is
Robert Jones and he is described as
large and fat, with dark hair and
grey eyes; has one gold front tooth
and one false white one. AS he
had considerable sum OF money
with him, the mother fears he has
been killed or perhaps has been
frozen to death. Any information
about the young man may be left at
this office and it will be conveyed to
the mother.

FOR LIBRARY FUND
A Find of $4,000 That May
be Used.

There seems good chance CT
Greeley now securing a library
| fund of about $1,000. and from an
unexpected source, too. Years ago,
when the town was new members of
Union Colony had considerable diff
Guilty in inducing the Union Pacific
railroad to put in depot here.
Trains stopped here alright, but
there was nothing but pile OF ties
for depot.
AS an inducement for a depot the
colony agreed to set aside ground for
street to be known as railroad
avenue, strip sixty feet wide, eX-
tending from Seventh to Ninth
street, just east of the railroad tracks.
The street was never opened, how
ever, and gradually business inter
ests have been located on the ground,
by Just what means may have but
little bearing upon this story. Now
Henry T. West, president of Union
Colony Pioneers has found a GUS
toner who is willing to buy a piece
of the land for $4,000 providing a
title can be secured from the city,
Union Colony and the railroad COM
pany.
The city will have to vacate the
ground for street purposes, and the
Union Colony and railroad will also
have to relinquish claim to the land
for street purposes. In case the deal
goes through the money realized
will be set aside for library fund.
In return for the railroad company
relinquishing its hold upon Railroad
avenue, the officials who were here
last Thusday asked that some of tie
street crossing the railroads in the
city of Greeley be vacated and closed.
The raiload people claim that the
expense and bother of cutting trains
at crossings in order to comply with
the ordinances of the city are so
burdensome that there is probabil-
ity of their moving the railroad
yards outside Of the city altogether.
The railroad officials met the mayor
and members of the city council while
here and the ground was gone over
thoroughly. They were advised to
present their requests in written
form to the city attorney, in order
that the city council might have a
basis to work from.

Greeley Girls Win.

The girls of the Greeley High
school showed last Saturday evening
that they could play basket ball just
as we'll as the boys, and defeated the
girls team of the Sterling High school
by a score of 10 to s.
The game was played in Commute
halves, and was fast throughout. FOL
lowing is the lineup;

que of Pleasant valley have decided

The speakers will be Profs. Carlyle,
Paddock and Olin, of the State Ag-
ricultural college. The subjects to
be considered are, 1.-The value of
Colorado grains for stock feeding,

SPECIAL INDICTMENT
For the Benefit of the Matrimon-
ially Inclined.

A boon to the matrimOnially in
clined has at last struck Greeley. 1t
is a bit Of competition in the inde
spensible knot-tying end of the busi-
ness. In another column of this
paper will be found courteous little
advertisement by Justice G. o. Stev-
ems calling attention of the lovelorn
to the fact that he has nice quiet,
private parlors in connection with his
office where those who have not the
nerve to listen to the long talks OF
the ministers who do similar busi-
ness. can come and have the cere-
mony performed in the fewest words
necessary.
There are all kinds of possibilities
in this departure of Judge Stevens.
Other justices should not be tagging
in advertising some special induce
ment to those with double harness
desires. Special bargain days could
be set aside and advertised. Special
prizes for the first couple upon GER
tain date could be arranged. Also
there could be certain hours of the
day when the justice would agree to
kiss the bride, and other hours when
he would positively decline this
feature of the performance. The
same rules could be used by the min
listers, although if they had the time
for them to think up something
original. Too little attention has
been paid to this legitimate business
by those who have the privilege OF
marrying people, and as a result
there are many young folks who go to
Cheyenne or Denver for their work.
This business should be kept at home
and Judge Stevens has just started
the ball in the right direction by
bidding for the patronage Of matri-
monially inclined.

adds still more realism to this pic
ture, and not until one reaches the
main street of the town, does it
take on the appearance of city.
Then you now see number of two
story red brick buildings, that
would be creditable to a much older
and larger town. The new part of
town, which is on the south side of
Main street has now fairly eclipsed
the old town, north of the street.
There are more business buildings
and their size and newness makes
them more imposing. 1t is neck and
neck, however, in the lines repre-
sented. and each side of the street
has it's bank, either of which is a
credit to the town. There is also
a hustle now to see which part of the
town can outdo the other in the
building of handsome homes: OF
course, the old part of town had
considerable start in this line, and
is forging right ahead.
In the northwest part of town is
Graefes' addition where the sale of
lots is being pushed, and where no
house may be built costing less than
500. In the new part of town is
McGlenn's addition, where equally
strenuous efforts are being made to
build nice homes. At least a half
dozen two story houses will be
started to build within the next
month or so In the town, and many
more are talked Of.
Within the next six months Ault
will probably have a city water
works and electric light plant. An
agent for an eastern company has
been in the city for some time look
ing up the situation for such a plant,
and has announced that his company
was satisfied with the location. The
company builds and operates the
plants without cent Of expense to
the city, except to the users of light
and water.
All this will go far toward bring
ing the present years building up
to figure equal to that of the past
year, when over 800, 600 worth of
buildings were erected in the town.

SWEET PEA DAY
It Comes a Little Earlier This
Year Than Usual.

Sweet Pea Day is here again. 1t
comes bit earlier this year than it
did last year, because spring is COM
ing earlier, and we want still more
people to help beautify the city by
planting the beautiful mixed tiowen
in their back yards. The Tribune
will again give away 500 packages Of
the finest mixed sweet pea seed that
can be bought. All you have to
do is to cut out the sweet pea coupon
from this paper, bring it to this
Office next SATURDAY. afternoon, not
earlier than l O'Clock. and you will
receive a good big package Of the
flower seed, enough to grow million
flowers. The Tribnue will also give
prize next summer for the first
two flowers grown from this seed
brought in that are exactly alike,
the flowers will surely be mixed.
There is no prettier flower in the
garden than the sweet pea, and none
easier to cultivate. 1t will grow
almost any place where it is planted,
and is in continuous bloom nearly
all summer. The more flowers you
take away from the vine, the more
there reappears.
Don't forget the date, next Satur-
day, March 4. Bring the coupon and
wait Your turn in the line

Poultry Show Planned.

f. B. Coggeshall, advertising
manager of the Western Poultry
World was in Greeley last Saturday
talking to the business men about
Northern Colorado Poultry show to
be given in Greeley within the next
sixty days. a similar exhibition
was recently held in Loveland with
great success. The Commercial club
will probably take up the question
in the near future and steps taken
to carry out plans for the show.
A new town is being started Il
miles north of Ault to be known rs
Maynard in honor'of the first man
who settled down near the spot.

Who Was Winner?

One of the hardest contested
games Of basket ball ever played in
the local armory was that Of last
Friday night between the Normal
school team and team from the
Wheatridge High school of Denver.
Both teams are still claiming the
victory.
BY different counts kept Of the
score, it will probably never be fully
settled which team was the winner.
although the referee, George Nelson
of the Y. NJ. C. A. Health Farm
of Denver, gave the decision to the
visitors.
The Normal boys claim that the
home team has the privilege Of nam
ing the official score keeper and he
uses regulation score book. This
book gave the Normal school team y
points against the visitors 25 points
The spectators score board showed
"a to 25 in favor of the Wheatridge
team. This score was accepted as
correct until the book score was
counted up, when the Normalites
claimed the victory.
Still third score was kept by one
of the Wheatridge boys which showed
a tie of 26 to 26 points for each. The
lineup:
Wheatridge-Gilbert and Davis,
forwards; Willet, center; Sinnard and
Wilmore, guards.
Normal-Saunders and Coles, for
wards; Draper, center; Butcher
and McAfee, guards.
Between the two halves of the
game the girls teams of the senior
and junior classes played short
game that resulted in score Of 10
to in favor of the juniors.

A GOOD WORK
CAMPAIGN FOR HOME TRAD
ING IS COMMENCED
First Pamphlet Issued by Mer-
chants Calling Attention
to Good Sense of
Home Trading

A systematic campaign for home
trading has been inaugurated by the
business men of Greeley that cannot
help resulting in great amount
OF good. The plan as started has
been introduced here by II. C. Cas-
ner, manager of the j. II. Clough
Furniture house and is somewhat
similar to the methods employed by
Colorado Springs merchants, whereby
they have been able to practically
shut out the Denver mail order
houses.
A neat little folder has been
printed calling attention to the
amount of shopping done outside of
the home city, and given many valid
reasons why this business should be
left at home. The matter contained
in the folder was, with some few
notifications printed in last weeks
Tribune under the head OF Home
Trading" but it is good enough to be
repeated here. Thousands of these
pamphlets are being distributed by
the merchants, who enclose one copy
in each package of goods that goes
out of the stores.
Following is the subject matter:
'You are anxious that our fair
county should be prosperous, and we
believe you are loyal to home inter-
est, especially If it touches your bank
account.
Then why do SO many do their
shopping out of town? 1t is rot to
save money, because it is positive
fact that merchandise is cheaper in
Greeley than in any other place in
the west and less than sold for in
large cities.
If you make your money here you
should spend it here. If you live
here and your income is from abroad,
your money helps to beauitfy city,
town and county. If you own prop
erty here, and are professional man,
a business man, or farmer, it is
your duty to leave your money at
home, where its circulation does you
good as well as the merchants.
Why is it that doctors and lawyers
come here in ordinary circumstances
and in few years build fine homes
and enjoy comfortable living? Sim
ply because hey get the full pat
ronage of this community. Not a
| single merchant has made so good a
showing through his business. 1t is
estimated that nearly half million
dollars was sent out of Weld county
to catalogue houses and Denver re-
tail stores last year for merchandise.
Why not have this money in cir
culation at home? Your home mer-
chant is better friend than an out
slider. Your merchant will surely
treat you better than an outsider.
He is behind all your purchases to
make good if found not up to the
standard. If you must send away,
then order through home merchants.
There is nothing they cannot get for
you, and at eastern prices, thus
saving you the express, and having
some responsible firm to deal with.
The merchants pay more taxes than
others to sustain the county. The
merchants always give literally to
city Institutions churches, societies
and Inducements to draw her resi-
dents. The merchant is the back
bone of progress in any community.
Leave your money at home-where
it will come back to you. Every
dollar sent away is Il dollar lost to
Weld county

TALK WATER
COMMERCIAL CLUB UNANI-
NOUS IN OPINION
Enthusiastic Gathering of Gree
ley Business Men Declare
Unanimously for
Best Water

The second monthly banquet of
the Commercial club was even more
successful than the first, in as much
as it was dependent almost entirely
upon the paid up mem be rship. There
were 90 members present, and the
actual work of the club was inauger-
ated. The question of city water
was the leading topic of discussion
of Monday nights meeting in Unity
church parlors.
Mayor Watson was called upon by
President Reynolds to give an out
line of the question as it had come
to his notice during the time he had
been working toward securing
supply of mountain water. He told
of the efforts of the city council to Sc
cure water from the Big Thompson,
their failure, owing to adverse court
decisions, and the final necessity of
looking toward the Poudre river for
supply. He also stated the alb
solute necessity of doing something
within the nextyear or so to improve
and increase the present supply, if
mountain water was not obtained
B. d. Sanborn, Daniel Stroll, DR..
Pogue and many others testified that
they had good soft water wells but
were still ready and anxious to stand
their share Of the expense in the new
water system.
In discussing the question Senator
w. L. Clayton stated that one OF the
strongest points upon which the peo-
pie of the Grand valley were basing
their claim to consideration for a
Normal school in that section was
the poor water supply to be had in
Greeley, Grand Junction was making
strong bid for favor upon the score
of its splendid supply. Should
other Normal schools be established
in the state it would entail a great
deal of loss to Greeley he said.
The discussion finally resulted in
b. d. Sanborn introducing the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That the Commercial
club of Greeley is in favor of grav-
ity water system, and urge prompt
action in the matter by the citizens
| of Greeley. under the advice OF a
competent engineer
The resolution was adopted with
but one dissenting vote.
Another resolution adopted that
is of considerable Importance to this
section of the state, was one endors-
ing State Engineer Louis G. Carpen-
ter for re-appointment TO that posi-
tion. 1t read: 'Resolved, That the
Commercial club of Greeley apprec-
late the superior fitness of Prof. l..
G. Carpenter as state engineer and
request his appointment. This
was also unanimously adopted.
Secretary Strong called the atten-
tion of the meeting to proposition
for holding "a poultry show at Gree
ley some time this coming December.
d. j.. March asked the club to con-
slider the question of holding some
kind of an annual fair, or race meet.
The matter was left with the adyeriS-
ing committee to look up and pre-
pare for.

capitol of California and where the first Conven-
ton was held September, 1s49. That must have
been a picturesque body. The rush to the gold
fields was at its height; men of every breed and
type had come to the new Ell Dorado-ambitious
young men, and in character men ranging through
every imaginable shade. Epic and romance,
farce and tragedy-al were in the air, and the
men who met in this old building half a century
ago could have told stories such as Kipling has
never dreamed of. In the other end of town is
the old custom house over which flags of three
nations have foated-Spain, 1914; Mexico, 1884;
United States, 1916.
But I was most interested perhaps in the first
frame building erected in California which is
still standing, though somewhat dilapidated. I
was fortunate enough, too, to meet the present
owner, who is the son of the original owner. The
house was set up by Mrs. Jane Buston Allen in.
1849, and the lumber is of Australian oak brought
all the way from Sydney. Nine months we're con-
su1ned in making the voyage. Mr.. Allen also
pointed out the two-story adabe house on the next
block in which Robert Louis Stevenson lived years
ago. Twenty-eight or twenty-nine years ago, he
was not famous then, and probably gave little
evidence of becoming so. He led a c~are-free life
with three or four Bohemian companions, and
Mr.. Allen often killed game for them. But the
bar-room panels painted by Stevenson and his
fellows have long since been painted over; and the
gentle story-teller, separated from his mates,
sleeps in far-away Samoa:

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

The value of a dollar is social, as it is created
by society. Every man who removes into this
city with any purchasable talent or skill in him
gives to every mans labor in the city a new
worth. LIE a talent is anywhere born into the
world, the community of nations is enriched
