Hoppers by Millions.

A peculia. pest in the form oi
immense swarms of crickets have IN
vaded Routt county and are doing
considerable damage to crops.
The hoppers travel in swarms ana
when moving in one direction the
larger swarms cover an area ABOUT
300 wards across by half mile Ill
length and the damage done to crops
in their path scarcely can be esti-
mated. The farmers in that local
ity are excited over the danger
threatening their crops and some
were afraid to plant this year lor
fear crickets will destroy what they
plant.

Plaintiffs Win.

The suit OF Knowlton and Bollen
against the Windsor Reservoir COM
pany has been decided in the district
court in favor of plaintiffs who were
granted a verdict for 50, 900. The
plaintiffs completed the recent i'm

owned by the defendant company,
and it was for ten per cent of the
yardage that the contractors were
awarded pay by the court. The
company claimed that under the
contract ten per cent Of the yardage

Big New Reservoir.

A deal has been almost completed
whereby an immense reservoir irri-
eating 10, 900 acres of land is to be
constructed six miles south of Mar
shall. The plans are now in the
hands of Architect Craig and NJ. b.
Tomlin of Boulder, who will prepare
them for the inspection of the state
engineer.
The new reservoir will hold 80, =
600, 900 cubic feet of water which
will furnish nourishment for a new
agriculturl district and likely a new
sugar factory in the valley it will
supply.
These who are in charge of the
specifications estimate that the con-
struction work can be done for $50, :
600. The large natural basin will
be fed by Boulder creek and Coal
creek and two or three smaller
streams.

Working for Greeley.

Thirty-fo Greeley boosters, men
and women went to Colorado Springs
last Tuesday morning to see what
they could do about bringing the
convention of the State Realty as
Sociation to Greeley next summer.
That association is holding three
days gathering in the Pixies Peak
city, and speakers of international
fame are in attendance.
The attendance at the Colorado
Springs convention is about LOCO,
and as the association is growing
steadily it is expected that an even
larger convention can be pulled on
in Greeley providing the Greeley
delegation succeeds in landing the
convention.

the very lowest price net, that can
be secured. The band receives no
benefit from this part of the trip
whatever but it is simply given at
this low rate for the good measure
on an already splendid bargain.
This is positively the lowest price
that Greeley people will have an
opportunity to take this trip for this
summer, and nobody who can pos.
sibly 20 should miss this opportunity.
To make the trip even more at
tractiye and to give patrons some
thing with which to remember it
with delight. a beautiful souvenir
will be given each purchaser of
ticket, whether it is a ticket to Iol-
land or to Rollins Pass. This SOU
yenir consists of four beautiful three
color engravings each mounted on
carbon mat, llXl4 inches, copies OF
Charles III. Harmon'S wonderful
paintings of scenes along the Motfat
road. Inc pictures are reprouuceu
in all the beautiful colorings with
which the artist painted the origi-
nails from nature. Four such pictures
as these could not be bought for less
than 81 anywhere.
one set of these is given abso-
lutely free with each ticket pur-
chased before the day of the eXcur-
sion. Remember there are only 200
sets of these, and as this excursion
will easily draw 800 persons there
will have to be rush early in order
that YOU may secure one. Don't de-
lay purchasing tickets If you expect
to go. This is the only way you can
secure one of these beautiful collec-
tions Of pictures.

Cancelled License.

Last Saturday State Auditor Bent
cancelled the license of the st. Paul
Mutual Hail and Cyclone company,
which has the effect of preventing
that company from doing any busi-
ness in the state after that date,
but of course it does not in any way
affect the business that has already
been done by the company. 1t seems
that the company, or those repre-
senting it, had been making mis-
leading statements and advertise
ments, which, taken into account
with other things, seemed sufficient
cause for the auditor, who is ex-
otficio insurance commissioner, to
oust the company. 1t is not believed
that the company had done very
much business in this section of the

of what things look like at Rollins
Pass, Greeley people need but glance
at the main range of the mountains
as seen from here. Look short
distance south of Longs Peak where
the mountains look the most rugged.
There at some point, invisible from
here. the Motfat road climbs over
the top, and instead of looking up at
these wonders from distance of Is
miles as we view them from here,
the railroad is right among them.
That is where the second excur-
sion, to be run by the Greeley Trib-
une for the benefit of the Greeley
band, Friday. June 30, will go.
There are really two trips in this ex-
cursion, the main trip and supple
ment. The main excursion will run
to Tolland, the same as the first one,
run May %. The fare to there from
Greeley and return will be So.
From Tolland to the top of the
Divide a special train will be run
for the benefit of those who desire to
make the extra trip and see the even
greater wonders at the top. For
this trip an additional $l.50 will be
charged for the round trip. This is

completed only as far as Tolland and
they thought it Il wonder.
On October l. 1904, thirty addi-.
tional miles of track were completed
and opened to the public. Shortly
after that il was necessary Tor the
trains to commence bucking snow in
order to cross the Divide. As the
railroad here is not alone up among
the clouds. but right up among the
perpetual snow. Go up there at any
time of the year. and you will fnd
the gulches filled with snow and ice,
and in winter, nothing but the white
covering can be seen. with occasional
fierce billiards sweeping over the
barren mountain tops.

of s. $50 feet, the track rises in lntrl-
cate windings 10y uniform grade

From this point is commanded a
view of all the lower mountain
ranges of the eastern and western
slopes. while the plains to the east
are visible for over hundred miles.
BY those who have seen 1t, this
trip beyond Tolland is said to have
no equal any other place IN the
world. Engineering feats. hereto

been accomplished and leading

the road is unsurpassed in the 'hlteo

ANTS ATTACK CHILD
Little Tot Badly Bitten by Lit
tie Pests.

The infant daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. c. Linkins met with a pc
culiar accident, If accident it may
be called, one evening last week.
She nearly lost her life by being bit
ten by ants. Mr.. Linkins went to
the coal and wood house for coal and
kindling, and the little girl, who is
just beginning to walk followed him.
She sat down alongside the coal
bucket while Mr.. Linkins went after
the wood. and although he heard
her shouting. he took it to be in
glee and paid but little attention to
her cries until he returned In q
couple of minutes and found her
literally covered with big red ants.
The child had sat down in an ants
nest and had been frightfully bitten
on face and body.
The little girl was quickly taken
moved and she was placed in bath
tub, and soda rubbed on her skin
wherever it was discovered she had
been bitten. One big ant was found
in the child's nose and ii was feared
that others had entered her ears, but
examination by physician discov-
cred none there. However the child
was so badly swollen from the poison
injected by the ants that it was a
couple of days before she had fully
recovered.

DRY
IN SPITE OF HEAVY RAINS
EARTH PARCHED
Too Much Wet Early in Season
Promises Scarcity of Water
Later in the Season
When Needed

Notwithstanding this has thus far
been an exceptionally wet year, the
precipitation of rain and snow since
the year opened being 4.72 inches
above normal, it is possible. and by
no means improbable, that the record
for the crop maturing period will
prove to be below normal.
A large part of the precipitation
occurred between March l and May
l, the record for those two months
showing an excess compared with
normal of about inches. But
about the middle of May we began
to observe evidences of decreasing
precipitation, although May is ordi-
narily the wettest month of the year
in this locality. AS matter of
fact, May this year was short is Of
an inch. The total precipitation was
2.65 inches, when, according to the
normal, it should have been 2S3.
Thus far June has been notably
dry, accompanied by slight excess
of temperature The rainfall for
this month up to Monday night at
the Denver station was AS of an
inch. which was Al of an inch be-
low the normal. In other words,
we have thus far in June received
only very slightly more than half
the precipitation we receive in a
normal year. Since in May the de-
ficiency began to assert itself and
has been pronounced since the open
ing of the present month, it is not
unreasonable to conclude that July
also will show deficiency, with
some excess of temperature.
These are important considera-
tions to all persons engaged in dry
farming for an abundance of
moisture is needed in the latter part
of June and the first half of July for
the maturity of cereal crops. Un
fortunately. conditions have been
made worse by the fact that the sea-
son is very backward. Although
March and April were excessively
wet, the latter especially was abnor-
mally cool. This is indicated by
the fact that since the opening Of
the year there has been an accumu-
lated deficiency of about l70 degrees
in temperature. This low tempera-
ture checked the growth of crops,
and hence they are not so we'll ad-
vanced as they ordinarily are. Their
growth having been checked, their
maturity will probably be somewhat
delayed. and this may make the
question of precipitation in July all
the more important in non-irrigated
sections.
Farmers who depend upon irriga-
tion are not deeply concerned in
these matters. for the early rains to-
gether with the abundant snowfall
of last winter have assured them all
the water they will need for late ir-
rigation. Should July prove to be
abnormally dry, full irrigation will
be resorted to and the crops will be
saved.
We should add that the figures
quoted in regard to rainfall apply
only to Denver. In some localities
notably Greeley, Fort Collins,
Boulder and some of the northeastern
countieS-there was an excess of
moisture in May.-Denver Repubil-
