THE MILLS LECTURE
Pleasing Talk by One OF Natures
Own Children.

The First Presbyterian church was
well filed last Tuesday evening at
the lecture given by Enos \. Mills
OF Estes Park. on the SUBJECT
Mountain Climbing and outdoor
Life" The proceeds go for the BEN
eft OF the Greeley high school refer
ence library.
Mr.. Mills is rapidly coming TO the
front as one of the leading exponents
of the simple life' as found among
the hills and forests of Colorado.
What makes his talks all the more
charming is the fact that his au-
ditors know that he practices exactly
what he breaches. Without any OF
the tricks Of the finished orator, he
tells OF the charms of life in the
open, in a style as fresh and free
from artitice as the hills and streams
from which he comes.
Mr.. Mills has spent the greater
part of his life roaming over the
mountains of Colorado, partly in the
service of the state as snow Inspector,
but chiefly because the rugged
scenery, the rushing brooks, the
songs of birds, and the fierce storms
of the region appeal to his nature.
In his own way he reads the stories
of the trees and of the rocks, and
holds converse with the birds, ami
mails and flowers.
1t is of these things that Mr..
Mills speaks and tries to impress the
listener with the beauty of nature,
and thus leading them toward bet
ter and more natural lives. His
talks are not Of the kind that bring
forth demonstrative applause, but
they hold the audience interested
and pleased, and the only regret
when he concludes is that he did not
talk longer.

The case against T. P. Dale, man
ager of the Gill s. Decker ranch,
who recently cut rather wide swath
from Montana to California, with
part Of the money sent him by the
firm, has practically been dropped.
Dale returned the money, barring
small amount, and as it would cost
much more than the loss to 60 to
Montana to prosecute Dale, it is
likely that nothing will ever be done
about it. Mr.. Decker has returned
to the city and as far as he is con-
cerned the case is probably settled.
E. J. Carpenters production Of
sat Cripple Creek, a thrilling new
drama by Hal Reid, is booked for
Monday, Dec. 4, at the Greeley opera
house. This powerful production is
full of fire and spirit. Scenes of
striking beauty and weird grandeur
in the heart of the Rockies are de-
picted with startling realism. a
charming love story threads its way
through scenes of deadly peril.
Drollery and quaint humor evoke
laughter and there are no dull mo-
ments from first act to last act. The
company appearing in "At Cripple
Creek is one of excellent strength.

nounce that the station here is to be
finished at once, and as soon as the
day current can be obtained from
the Home Electric company they
will be ready for active business.
In report upon wireless tele-

about the wireless work in Alaska,

This is the only long wireless

believed, that is regularly operated
as part of a telegraph system hand
ling commercial business. On Au-
gust 6, 1904, it completed year of
uninterrupted service over its course
of 107 miles. 1t has handled and
uninterruptedly the entire tele-
graphic business of Nome and the
Seward peninsula, which, together
with the official business, averages
several thousand words daily. More
than ], 200, 900 words were sent during
the year, many thousands being COM
