B. D. HARPER DIED SUDDEN.
LY WEDNESDAY
Sketch of a Useful Career-Was
Public Official for Years,
Bank President and
Friend

The funeral of Capt. B. d. Harper
who died suddenly in his home a
week ago last evening, was held from
the residence, 1923 Eleventh street
at II O'Clock last Saturday morning.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Z. j. Hunter, assisted by Rev. f.
NJ. Sheldon
In the death of Mr.. Harper Greeley
loses one of its best and most in
iiuential citizens. Besides being
president of the Union National
Bank, he took much interest in local
affairs, and was ever ready to help
in worthy cause,
He died almost without a NOM
ent warning While he had been
feeling little i'll that day, he had
shortly before his death telephoned
his associates in the bank that he
would be down the next morning as
usual The bursting of blood yes
sci near the heart is supposed to
have been the cause of death.
Brainard ID. Harper was born in
Greenfield, o., Dec. 10. lS4l. Ten
years later his parents moved to
Mount Pleasant, Iowa, and shortly
after to Burlington, in the same
state. The early life of Mr.. Harper
was spent in the shoe business with
his father. When the Civil war
broke out the young man was anxious
to join the Union forces, but was
unable for business reasons to gratify
this desire until late in the struggle
when he Joined the twenty-tifth
Iowa infantry. as first lieutenant.
AT the close of the war MIR. Har-
per returned to Burlington as a cap
tain, and shortly after was married
to Jennie G. Buen. In 1872 they
came to Colorado for Mr.. Harper's S
health. They settled in Evans first
and Mr.. Harper engaged in the
general merchandise business. He
soon gave this up however, for sheep
raising and located near the site of
Sterling.
The public career of Mr.. Harper
consists of six years as county COM
missioner and four years as county
treasurer. In 1884 he helped orga-
nize the First National Bank OF
Greeley and was its cashier for a
number of years and later its presi-
dent. In 1894 he severed his con-
nection with the First National
Bank and went into the Union Bank
as cashier, and barring about a year
that he spent in California he has
been connected with this institution
ever since, for the past few years as
president.

and foster daughter, Mrs. John Is,

Resources of the Great Plains.

An exceedingly valuable contribu-
tion to our general knowledge of the
great plains is contained in a report
on the geology and underground
water resources of this region, just
issued by the U. S. Geological Sur
vey and known as Professional
Paper No. 32.
The area described comprises the
greater parts of Kansas, Nebraska
and South Dakota, eastern Colorado,
eastern Wyoming and the southeast
ern corner of Montana. 1t is a
volume of 433 pages, with numerous
colored maps ana half tone views
and two handsome color photographs
productions of the Devil S Tower and
the Garden of the Gods. After a
description of the geology and min
eral resources of the region, the
question of underground water sup
ply is taken up and treated, both in
its general bearings and in its local
distribution. For the greater part
of the area, the underground water
resources are described by individual
counties. so that the report is a
guide to the prospects in nearly all
portions of the region so far as there
is information available. An ac-
count is also given of various min
eral resources, including coal, pc
troleum, salt. gypsum, metals and
other products. The climate Is
briefly treated.

CELEBRATION SURE
Iuly Fourth VIII be Fittingly
Observed

The Fourth of July celebration in
Greeley is now assured. a few mem
bers of the Commercial club are
working upon plans for the right
kind of a blow out,
1t is expected that there viii be a
parade of the fire department,
Greeley band, the Elks and other
lodges that can be induced to come
out and make showing during the
morning. After noon the driving
club will carry out an interesting
urorram at their track OH Island
Grove park.
The evening will likely be given
over to concert in the park by the
Greeley band.
The proclamation of Mayor Green
in regard to fireworks and noise
makers will be found in another part
of this issue. While the dangerous
crackers have been cut out the small
boy will have sufficient opportunity
to g,atify his desire for shooting

BEAU1IFY THE CITY
Suggestions Made at Business
Mems Banquet.

The Greeley Commercial club held
its regular monthly meeting and
lucnheon at the Armory Monday
evening. About sixty couples were
present.
1t had been the intention to have
this particular meeting. to which
the wives, sweethearts and sisters of
members were invited, on j. L.
Ewing's lawn, but the continued
unsettled weather made it mex
pelient and the armory was used in
stead. Sandwiches, coffee, straw
berries and ice cream and cake COM
posed the menu, after which speeches
advocating a more beautiful Greeley
were made by MessrS. Vim. Mayher,
II. f. Churchill, w. f. kinsella.
Mrs. II. f. Churchill and others.
Col. White made touching Memoir
ial Day speech, urging upon all to
keep the day in the spirit in which
it was founded.
A number of we'll timed sugges-
tions for identifying the city were
brought out during the evening.
Clean up" seemed to be the key
note of Identification. Mr.. Chur-
chill had taken a walk through an
alley in the main part of the city
and here is "a partial list of the
things he saw on his little excur-
sion: Mike Lavelle, dead cat, old
wagon wheel, old barrel, empty beer
kegs, old bottles and a whole lot OF
unidentified, unclassitied personal
property that should have been in
the rubbish dump. He suggested
the setting apart of houSe-clean-
ing, or rather, an alley and back
yard cleaning day by the mayor for
the benefit of the community.
Some suggestions for beautifying
by Wm. Mayher: trim trees: plant
new trees for each one cut or dead
grub out the stumpS along the side
walks. haul away the cleanings from
the irrigating bitches; put up neat,
uniform hitchiug posts, build new
cemetery fence. w Il. kinsella
argued for more street lights ana
better sidewalks in the residence
section. Mrs Churchill made one
of the easy, towery speeches Tor
which she is noted, and Colonel
White told of some of tue eNpef-
fences with dram shops in the carry
days. and intimated that the same
line of procedure might do away
with the bootleggers that infest the
town at intervals.
For continued interest the Com
mercial club holds the banner among
public movements for the good oil
the town, and its membership should
eventually include every business

LAID TO REST new ARMORY
ACTIVE WORK COMMENCED
ON SAME
S. A.. Moore Will Erect Building
for State at Seventh Avenue
and Tenth Street in
This City

A new armory for Greeley is to
be an actual fact after all. Work
has already been commenced on the
new two story building to be erected
at the corner of Seventh avenue and
Tenth street by S. A. Moore. The
building will be on the southeast
corner of the intersection of the two
streets mentioned.
When completed the building will
be two stories high, of brick, llsx54
feet. Il will have drill hall 95x52.
The old armory drill hall Is only
about S0x45. Around the entire
four sides spectator gallery will
be run, eighteen feet from the main
floor. The hall will be the full two
stories high.
There be will rooms for officers,
and company rooms, bath and toilet
rooms. Company d has leased the
building for a term of ten years and
will have complete control of it.
The G: A. X. will have rooms and
permanent headquarters in the
building, free of cost.
Captain c. c. Townsend of Com
pany d has had rather strenuous
time In securing an armory for
Greeley. When it was learned that
the company could not secure a re-
newal OF the lease on their present
armory hall in the Odd Fellows
block Mr.. Townsend introduced a
bill in TIA legislature for an appro,
priation of s25, 900, hoping to get
about s15, 900 for new state build
ing here. This bill was turned
down on the grounds of dangerous
precedence, it being believed by some
members of the legislature, that if
Greeley secured an armory building
in this way, every little town in the
state would find some excuse for ask
ing for an armory or some other pub
lie building at state expense.
Losing out in the legislature, Mr..
Townsend went to work here pri-
vately to find some one who would
put up a building tor an investment.
Mr.. Moore finally proved to be the
right man, and he will put up a
building to cost about 50, 500, includ-
ing the lot, He leases it for term
of ten years at S75 month, so that
anybody can figure that there is
about Il per cent interest on the in
vestment.
The new hall will be splendid
thing for the city, as without the
old armory there would be no Place
in which to hold large public meet
ings, except in the opera house,
which is too expensive for most pur-
poses. The new building will also
be more convenient than the old.
and il will be constructed with an
especial view to securing the best
ventilation and sanitary conditions.
Plans for the new building have
been accepted by Adjutant General
Bulllley Wells.
