It is a we'll known fact that an
effort is being made among the
'reorganizers" to quiet the dis
ruption which has been threaten
ing to enter the ranks ever since
election last November. Roach
and Sanborn have found it i'm.
possible to agree on all matters
Of Importance, and it appeared
for a time that there would be a
disunlon of those forces. San
born claims the largest follow
ing, but those who assert that
Roach is a dead one politically
may be surprised when he finds
Unnecessary to show his strength.
McGahan, who has been a potent
factor in the success OF the reor-
GAMERS, is opposed to a number
Of the acts Of the county CON-
missioners, and it is said that he
is threatening to bring matters
to a focus by joining the San
born forces. McGahan has been
pointed out as a political trick
ster. but really his enemies have
not pointed to a single thing
that he has done which will not
bear probing. At a recent meet
ing attended by Mayor Roach,
Judge Alfred BlaisdelI, County
Commissioner Black, DR.. Schol-
berg, S. S. Richardson, L. r.
Carroll, Attorney A. w. Gray
from kenmare, and George w.
Childs, some important political
business was transacted, and the
financial committee of the Re-
publican Central Committee gave
a report which appears that
chere will soon be something
doing in this county. AS the
main fight will be pulled off at
the primaries next spring, the
hardest work will have to be
done prior to that time.

Canal Breaks Again.

Word comes from Fort Collins
that another bad break in the banks
of the Poudre Valley Reservoir COM
pany's big canal occurred Sunday
near the Shipp place, in Pleasant
valley, 10 miles northwest of Fort
Collins. About l24 feet of the bank
gave way. allowing large volume
of water to escape into the Water
Supply g. Storage company's canal,
which lies just below it. Fortu-
nately the banks of the latter canal
held and the canal was not damaged
beyond being filled up with rocks
and sand. The break is bad one
and much valuable time will be lost
In making repairs. besides the ex-
pense. 1t is the largest canal in
Larimer county and has capacity Of
1000 cubic feet per second.

Pioneer Heard From.

A few of the Oldest pioneers in
Greeley will probably remember
William Hubbard who was the first
telegraph operator in Greeley. He
opened an Office in the old Hotel de
Comfort, early in the year 1870. His
lightning Singing days here were
almost contemporaneous with those
of Ed. House at Evans. but he pre-
ceded Ed by short time.
Word now comes from Monticello.
ILL.,, that Mr.. Hubbard has invented
what is known as the Elgin tele-
phone, said to be an unusually fine
instrument. He also furnished
practically the entire exhibit of
Evolution of the Telephone, {"
shown in the palace of electricity at
the St. Louis fair last summer. Mr..
Hubbard is now in the insurance
business at Monticello.

AFTER PRAIRIE DOGS
Stockmen up in Arms Against
Little Pests.

The wholesale destruction OF
prairie dogs is another crusade on
which the Colorado Horse and Cattle
Growers association is TO embark
within the next few months. Not
content with lighting the railroad
trust for governmental control OF
rates, from now on the members OF
the association will make life such
burden to the little prairie dog that,
like the big packers and members
of the packing trust, he will be COM
PEELED to fee the country.
As soon as possible the association
will erect three experimental sta
tions in Colorado, one in Garfield
county, another in Las Animas
county, and third in Larimer
county. Scientists from the United
States bureau Of agriculture will be
placed in charge of them. and If pos
sible method will be discovered
that will lead to the abolishment Of
both prairie dogs and gophers.
The cattlemen and horsemen of
the state say that every year their
damage from this source alone
amounts to hundreds of thousands Of
dollars, and that with the small
range they now have for use 1t is
absolutely necessary to make it safe
or that it will be impossible for
them to turn their stock out. There
are several methods now in use for
the determination Of these pests,
but so far none of them have proved
successful when used on a large
scale. If a method can be discovered
that will really do the work, the
association will at once take the
matter up with the various county
commissioners of the state and seek
to have the work done under the
control of each county.

TO BUILD SCHOOL
Delta People Hold Meeting Tues
day Evening.

A meeting was held at the Delta
school house last Tuesday evening to
discuss the adyisability of building a
new school house. A petition was
circulated to secure twenty signers
in order to call special election to
vote the necessary bonds. Twelve
names were put to the petition. and
it is expected that the other eight
will easily be secured, as only about
% persons attended the meeting.
Another meeting will be called to
discuss plans of building and costs.
At present it is intended to put up a
building about S0x50 feet, and to
have one large room, recitation
room and cloak room, to cost
about So, 500.
The school has for the past five
years been conducted by A. B. Craig
Of Greeley. He has again been en-
gagged for next term. The present
term closes today with rather
elaborate exercises for a country
school.
The school board that will have
the work of building the new school
house are, Thomas Waite, president /:
S. E. Robb, treasurer; Mrs. T. A.
Foley, secretary. There are about
tifty-tive families on the Delta with
IS children who enjoy the benefits of
the school. The pupils from the
Delta school can 60 right from the
eighth grade of the Delta school to
the ninth grade of the Normal.

DECIDED IT TUESDAY
Greeley Will Have Celebration
July Fourth.

The question of whether or not we
are to have Fourth of July cele-
bration was decided at meeting of
few Greeley citizens Tuesday after
noon. The result was that the Gree
ley band was engaged on the spot as
a starter to play about town all day.
A meeting was called by William
Mayher, chairman of the entertain
ment committee, at which other
people interested in the matter were
present. 1t is expected that it was
decided to have a celebration, as
there are many business men in favor
OF it and few if any against it.
1t will mean the keeping at home
OF great many people who would
otherwise leave the city upon that
day, and spend considerable money
that could just as we'll be kept at
home, besides bringing in lot of
people here from the outside.
1t is three years since Greeley had
Fourth of July celebration and if
seems about time that the town was
awakening again. In 1902 those who
came to Greeley to help celebrate
had about as good time as could
reasonably be expected, and every-
body went away with good word
for Greeley's way of entertaining.

Praised Scenery.

The passenger department of the
Denver Il Rio Grande railroad las
issued a neat little folder, descrip-
tive of President Roosevelt's trip
through Colorado. The pamphlet is
being scattered broadcast over the
country. and will doubtless do much

The reading matter is made mp
largely of extracts from the speeches
of the president made at stations
along the way from GlenwoOd
Springs TO Denver. \ particularly
pleasing tribute was paid Colorado
by the president in his speech al
Canon City in which he said:

LOT OF WORK
CITY COUNCIL WAS BUSY
TUESDAY EVENING
Plans for Free Library-Eighth
Avenue to be Graveled and
Many Other Matters of
Importance

The city council at its meeting
Tuesday evening had more business
than cranberry merchant.
A petition for an ordinance tc
create free public library was pre-.
sented by Fred E. Smith. This step
will be necessary in order to give the
library legal standing, in which it
can accept donations, and also re-
ceive an income by special tax
levy. 1t is understood that num-
Der of Greeley citizens are ready to
donate we'll to the library in order
to bring it up to the proper standard
for the size of the city, as soon as
the necessary legal preliminaries can
be complied with.
The hours during which the State
Normal school can use water for
sprinkling purposes were fixed as
during the past year.
The W. c. T. U. presented petit
tion to the council to have that body
60 after bootleggers that are said to
infest the city. The matter was
referred to the city marshal, and
that official now has troubles on his
hands.
F. n. Paine was before the coun-
Gil and complained of nuisance on
the east side, in the way of an open
ditch on Fifth avenue. This was
the ditch into which the refuse
from the starch factory was run. and
had stuck there so that ordinary
flushing would not remove the re-
fuse. Later in the evening, as a
oard of health the council took up
the matter and ordered the clerk to
notify w. H. Edwards of the starch
factory to clean up the ditch to the
satisfaction of the health officer.
Byron Newton came before the
council and suggested that this body
consider a proposition to secure soft
water at Greeley by means of wells,
the same as the city of Evans has
done. He believes that good and
sufficient supply could be had there
from number Of large wells. The
matter was referred to the water
works committee.
j. E. Shook again called the at
tention of the council to the promise
of making loop in the water pipes
on Ninth and Tenth avenues in order
to do away with dead end there.
It's up to the water works com.
mittee.
w. L. Clayton informed the coun-
Gil that the necessary signers had
been secured on Eighth avenue to
grade and gravel that street from
the c. & S. railroad tracks to Four
teenth street. The matter was re-
ferred to the street committee with
power to act.
The request of the G. A. r. for
the council to appropriate $50 to
assist the local post in helping to
entertain the national encampment
in Denver next fall was turned
down. Upon advice of the city at
tornev and judiciary committee it
was decided that the appropriation
could not legally be made.

WILL HOLD THEIR COTTON.
Scott County Farmers Union Pass ResO. lutiOnS to Hold Cotton For
 Eleven Cents.

Waldron, Oct. 19. The Farm ers' Union met at Audor, two miles west of this place, October 13 and IA, all the local lodges in the county being represented. It passed resolutions to hold their cotton far II cents. There are about 1,600 members of the order in this county. If cotton does not go up soon times will be a little dull in our town for a while, but all will be glad to see the farmer get his price once.
 A. M. Parker of Hatfield, Polk county, business agent for the cotton association Of Polk and Montgomery counties, addressed a large and attentive audience of farmers and business men in the court house October IA. He said the Union and Cotton Associa- tion had no fight to make on the local merchant or any legitimate business of any kind. His ad- dress was well received.
