No. 10 near the middle. There were
no stations put on the southern part
OF the glacier. The data were taken
on August Both Of last year. On
August 3Oth Of this year, just one
year later, the next observation was
made. It was found that the glacier
at station had moved In that time
a distance of IL. Is feet, and that the
greatest movement had been at sta
tion 10, where the ice had gone down
the slope -27.7 feet. Some Of the
crevices in the ice were from go to
70 feet deep, but there is no telling
how deep the ice is, as it is not pos
sible to see the bottom. In some
places, where the glacier stands
practically on end, the Ice must be
possibly thousand feet thick.
The Hallet and Sprague glaciers
are best reached from Estes Park,
and while much farther from rail-
road are easily worth the extra
effort to see. The Hallet glacier is
considered one of the most interest
ing on the American continent, out
side Of some of the larger ones In
Alaska.

KLUG BRINGS SUIT
Wants $4,000 Damages From
Union Pacific

John Klug, the we'll known stock
man, has commenced 80. 900 dam
age suit against the Union Pacific
railroad in the district court for in
juries sustained in a runaway on the
night of May ), 1905. klug and a
party of Greeley people composed of
Frank Madden, John r. Jacobs, DR..
H. C. Bennett. Mrs. Lloyd Ayers
and the title son of MI. Klug were
driving over from LaSalle at about
10 O'Clock in the evening. When
they crossed the railroad tracks
Just south of the town of Evans one
wheel of the wagon broke and the
horses started on run. Mr.. klug
either jumped out or was thrown out
from the seat with the driver, and
managed to reach the head of the
horses, although he broke his right
leg when he landed. He stopped the
runaway.
In his complaint he claims that
the planking in the road crossing
had been removed and left the rails
sticking up about six inches, causing
the accident. He also claims that
he has spent over $500 for medi cine
and doctors care, and that he Will
still have to spend 5000 on this, and
also that lie is permanently injured
and unable to attend to his business
of rancher and suockman, at which
prior to his injury he was able to
earn 81 200 month.

BEST TIME IS NOW
To Examine Colorado's Glaciers
Some Observations.

For some purposes now is the very
best time to go to the mountains of
Colorado. This is just the proper
time to observe the glaciers that
can be found in several places. The
old SHOW has melted and as yet no
new coating has fallen. This leaves
the solid ice exposed, and the ex-
plorer can so down into the crevasses
and thoroughly examine these.
There are number of celebrated
glaciers within fairly easy access.
and lately some new interest has
been excited in these by observations
made by party of scientists from
the state university. The. Arapahoe
glacier was the point of their special
observation this time.
The glacier is situated at the
Arapahoe peaks and can easily be
reached either by the Moffat road OF
the Eldora line through Boulder.
On August 30, 1904, Hugh F.
Watts of the university went to the
glacier and made metal marks a,
various points near the glacier, il
order to mark it's movements. There
were ten stations in all, No. l bein,
near the north rim of the glacier ant

Want Normal Depot.

The State Normal school otficlals
and B. ID. Sanborn are working with
the railway officials to have school
depot established at some point
about opposite the Normal school.
The argument is used that the state
university, which is about as near 10
Boulder as the Normal school is TO
Greeley, and the agricultural college
at Fort Collins each has schooi
depot. There are over 1000 students
at the Normal school, many oil
whom go out of town to spend sun
day, and it is desired to make IL as
convenient for them and others nav
ing business at the school. Most OF
the students room and board in the
vicinity of the school and have pu'
little occasion to come down toWh'
and the walk to the regular depot Is
quite distance.

Under these conditions there is no
doubt capital will see the advantage
of erecting canneries for other fruits
and vegetables. In no place in the
United States do the smaller fruits,
and vegetables such as peas, sugar
corn, asparagus and all the forms of
pickles, grow in greater profusion
or excellency. While the great con-
suming centers lie far to the east Of
us, their trade is readily COM
manded. No reason exists why
Colorado should not become a great
canning state, provided no radical
change is attempted in existing con-
ditions.
This great shipment of peas al
ready Is whirling east over the Burl-
ington. In itself, it will prove the
greatest advertisement that Colorado
could command. In its journey
from the Rockies to the Atlantic
coast 1t will bring to thousands some
knowledge of Colorado's resources.
Inc capacity OF the cannery at
Longmont Is 10000 cans per hour.
II the peas grown this season were
placed in Z straight row they would
extend frolh New York to San Fran
cisco, double back four times and
the end Of this lengthy row would
rest somewhere in the vicinity of
the Mississlppi river.
Peas IN the far east" in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and the
other great cities, may be as far
reaching In their effect on the pros
perity of Colorado as the peace in
the Orient, SO masterfully engi-
neered by President Roosevelt, is a
factor in the welfare of the world.

TRY JAIL BREAK
Louis Webber Attempts to Saw
Out But Loses

An attempt at Jail breaking at
the county jail was frustrated by
Dave Camp last Sunday night.
Louis Webber, the Denver man In
jail here on charge of chicken
stealing, had one bar Of his cell
sawed half in two. He would still
have to saw five more bars in two
before hole large enough to escape
through could be made.
Webber had made saw out Of
small steel spring found in the sole
of his shoe. With this he had been
working several nights.
Mr. Camp first discovered that
there was trouble about a week ago,
when he heard some of the prisoners
at work, but not wishing to let them
know that he was aware of their in
tentions he did not make an examf-
nation at the time, as it would take
them several weeks to cut out.
Sunday night, however, he heard the
saving so unmistakable that he
made an examination of Webber's
cell the next morning and found one
bar about half severed.
No trace has been found of Fred
Webber, brother of the prisoner,
who escaped from the officers some
time ago. Louis Webber, ST., who
VISA also under arrest for the same
charge as the boys, has jumped his
bond, upon which he secured his re-
lease. He put up 800 and was to
report to the sheriff every few days.
1t is nearly month since he left
and has not been heard of since.

An inquest was conducted by

death of Frank =. Duncan, the Dem

the train was pulling out on the

to save the man. The verdict of the
illry exonerated the railroad company
from blame.

placed in alcohol and kept for per-
manent exhibit in the Tribune office.
Some of the finest sugar beets grown
this season will be treated in the
same way. The collection will
gradually be enlarged and made to
include every variety of farm crop.
There Is no permanent exhibit of
farm products now in the city and
one. such as is contemplated by the
Tribune, will become of great value
for advertising purposes.
The conditions of the prize contest
are as follows:
Bring to the Tribune office the
largest smooth potato you find. If
it is the largest brought to this office
by December l, we will give you 50
for it.
Bring to this Office the largest
potato you find, no matter what
shape, and If it is the largest in
weight brought here by December l,
we will give you - for it.
Bring to this office the largest ten
potatoes you find, and II they weigh
more than any other ten brought
here by December l, we will give
you $3 for them.
The Tribune would also like any
body who has grown an unusually
good crop Of wheat, barley, oats, or
other cereal to bring samples of the
grains to this office. Bring about a
pint jar full or the stuff. This will
be properly labeled, telling where
it was grown and by whom, also
other information that may be OF in
terest and value. 1t is too late for
this season to secure any heads of
grain, but this lack will be supplied

HAS H00D00
LASALLE KEEPS BEFORE
PUBLIC IN BAD WAY
Some Crimes Committed and
Accidents That Have Befal-
len People There Dur
ing the Summer

There seems to be no end to the
saturnalia of crime and accidents in
the vicinity of LaSalle, the last two
victims to the dangers of the To-
cality coming to their death by rail-
road accidents.
The record of trouble at that place
during the summer just passed does
not look good. 1t really commenced
in earnest Sunday, June IL. when
Manuel Silva, a Mexican: j. L.
Hartman and Joseph Spring were
held up by four footpads near the
Platte river bridge between Evans
and LaSalie. Walter LaRue, Rich
ard Barry and John Cummings, were
later the same day arrested by Paul
Gregory, and the two former are now
serving sentences in the state peni-
tentiary while the third is awaiting
another trial In the district court,
the jury having disagreed at the first
trial. Their victims were badly
used up besides having all their per-
sonal belongings taken away.
Things we're quiet again for a
time, but on July IL, George Nelson,
an elderly man, was travelling from
Sterling to Fort Collins to look for
work. He got OFF the train at La
Sale and started for Greeley on foot.
He was not heard of for three days
when he finally arrived at the
sheriff office here and told about
being held up near LaSalle and left
unconscious under the Platte river
bridge. For two days he was unable
to move as a result of the beating he
received. The same day, or possibly
the day after, Frank Geron, an old
German. who has since been confined
in the Weld county hospital from
his injuries, was held up, beaten and
robbed of his money. His skull was
crushed in in over a dozen places.
He is now recovering rapidly, al
though he vas unconscious for over
a month.
Nearly two months elapsed then
before more crimes were committed,
when the three negroes, William
White, William Marshall and F.
Collins, now in jail, cut up Paul
Gregory, who was moving them out
of town.
The last two victims were F. P
Duncan of Denver who was killed by
a freight train near the LaSalle sta.
tion, and whom it is thought by
some was first the victim of footpads.
The last victim is an unknown man
of about 60 years of age who was
killed by a freight train between
LaSalle and Platteville. Tuesday
afternoon of last week.

WANT
SPUD PICKERS HAVE ASKED
FOR MORE MONEY
Warm Weather Early in Week
Puts Stop to Potato Digging
Hobo Element is Un-
welcome

Potato digging which was to have
commenced In earnest all over the
Greeley potato belt last Monday was
postponed until cooler weather.
Some potatoes were dug last week
and the week before; so many, in
fact, that last Saturday the price
dropped about five cents hundred.
The warm weather continuing and
growing warmer, the farmers let up
on digging and the price remained
steady after the one drop.
Last week when digging was about
to become general the farmers ran
against little snag in the form of
agitators who were working among
the spud pickers, and urging them
to hold out for - day as against
sl.75 a day offered by the farmers.
The result was that only few men
went to work. Again the warm
weather was not an unixed evil to
the farmers. The influx of workmen
continued and as there was no call
for help the price of labor went down
some.
But little was seen Of the 81 agi-
tators last Monday, the announce
ment that the city marshal's office
would take drastic steps against
those who loa1ed about town and re-
fused to go to work at 81. rs day,
having had its effect.
The ''spud bench" has been full
every day this week and scores of
workmen have been camped along
the river banks. along the railroad
track north of the city, and many
more have been sleeping in box cars.
The idea advocated by the Tribune
last week. of having some sort of
shelter place erected for the work
men, has met with considerable
favor, only it has been suggested that
a tent would be good enough. and if
this was placed at some place con-
venient to the sheritf's office or city
marshal's office the place might be
looked after night and day from one
or the other of these offices and the
men kept straight.
By this means the Objectionable
characters could be kept away from
the workmen and there would be
less trouble in agreeing upon scale
of wages. Most of the men who
come here are willing to go to work,
but when the agitator has been
around among them many of them
fear to 90 out at the wages offered.
as he does not know what his next
neighbor may think of it.
This intimidation, the authorities
have determined, must be stopped.
1t is not the sure enough wOrkmen
that are creating trouble but hobo
element that comes here at the same
time. At Johnstown a few days ago
the citizens cleaned the town of the
undesirable gentry, and Greeley
people are threatening to do the

That we see in the numerous revelations

mercialsm which Jesus called "covetous-
ness and condemned more severely than any
other vice, and which has in our time sane
toned many customs that are not only

set for themselves in individual action may
