Denver Boosters Came.

The special train carrying the
Denver Boosters stopped over in
Greeley for ten minutes last Satur-
day afternoon. Word was received
by Station Agent c. c. Carrel at
about II O. clock in the morning that
the train would stop here for a short
time, and he sent word to members
Of the Greeley Commercial club, a
number of whom were at the depot
to greet the visitors.
The Denver men. headed by the
Cook drum corps made short parade
through the principal streets of the
city and then flew their kite for
Denver
The Boosters have been out for a
weeks swing around Colorado, Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming, on trade ex
pansion excursion. and this was the
last stop before their return to Den
YER.

Hurt in RUNAWAY.

A half dozen Greeley people had
an exciting experience in a runaway,
while coming from LaSalle, late
"Wednesday evening. The evening
train from Denver was stopped at
LaSalle on account of switch
engine being off the track at Evans,
and John klug and little son, Frank
Madden, John T. Jacobs, DR.. II. c.
Bennett and Mrs. Lloyd Ayers, who
were among the passengers sent to
Greeley for rig to take them
through. When in the vicinity of
Evans the team got from under the
control Of the driver and ran away.
In the dark they went into the ditch
and upset the wagon, just as John
klug jumped out, in order to reach

to say, that in none of these have
anywhere near such natural obstacles
been overcome. There are many
times more tunnels OH this line be-
tween Denver and the Continental
Divide, than upon any other railroad
in America, and there are switch
backs and loops, that make all others
look like toys by comparison. In
no other part of the Colorado noun
tains is the scenery SO rugged and
grand, as that through which the
Moifat road passes.
Just now all interest in the west
struggle between David II. Motlat,
builder of the road, and the United
States government for the control OF
Gore canon on the Grand river. The
government here has plans for the
largest storage reservoir in the
world. Gore canon forms an open
ing through the Gore range of noun
tains and opens into a park traversed
by numerous streams. among them
the headwaters of the Colorado river.
The park is hemmed in by the
mountains, and the Gore range Is
nearly as rugged as the Continental
divide. A. l.. Fellows, district en-
gineer of the United States reclama-
tion service, proposes to erect dam
in the canon $50 feet in height with
top width of 81 feet, to form a
lake covering approximately lo,~N
acres. with Il storage capacity OF
about 1000, 900 acre-ieet. The flood
waters of numerous streams would
be used to I'LL this giant reservoir
and from 1t would flow waters for
supplying the Colorado river and by
ii arid lands of New Mexico, Arizona
and California, 200 miles away.
The Greeley tribune., 1905-05-11

lhe Importance of the canon tC
the Motlat road is lillened to that of
the Royal Gorge to the Rio Grande.
Without the Royal Gorge the Rio
Grande could not have been built
through the mountains. Vast chasms
ana towering mountains intervened
as lnsurmountable obstacles. but
with the gorge the road easily was
put through.
Equally great difficulties have
been overcome in building the part
OF the Mottat road already COM
pleted, and most of these will be seen
by the travellers who go upon the
Tribune excursion Tor the benefit of
the Greeley band summer concert
fund.
The excursion will be run on
Thursday. May %, special train
leaving Greeley at ! 80 in the morn
ing and returning here shortly after
8 O'Clock in the evening. Tickets,

DRAIN SYSTEM
First Under New Law Have
Been Planned.

John G. Hall, Arthur Atkinson,
f. S. Pinney and eleven other resi-
dents OF the Lagrange district. have
petitioned the county commissioners
for a drainage district in that sec
ton. to be created under the new
law, passed by the 1903 legislature.
AS this is the first attempt to make
use of the new law that has been
made the matter has been referred
to County Attorney Churchill, in
order that everything may be done in
legal form.
1t is contemplated draining an
area about three miles square. lying
between number > ditch and the
Poudre river. and which has become
seeped from that ditch. 1t was for
Just such emergencies that the law
was passed. II. C. Watson being one

" ATCH LASALLE
Little Town Going to Take Jump
Forward.

After neglecting its opportunity
for many years, LaSalle seems about
to become town all of a sudden.
In few days, James Stewart and
his brother, two Pennsylvanians,
who have made this vicinity their
home for two or three years, will
commence the erection of two story
brick building in which they will
put a general store. This fact
seems but little to base an assump-
tion of new town to be, but it has
not been until within the last few
weeks that building lot could be
bought in LaSalle Recently ID. S.
Ellis, The veteran store keeper there
has plated a couple of acres. and
already lots are beginning to sell for
business purposes. Mr.. Stewart will
also run lumber yard in connec-
tion with the store.
Besides the new store, the next
thing will likely be a hotel to be
built by Mrs. May Brown. of Colo
rado Springs. A building for meat
market has also been erected by
Taylor 4 Connoway, which will
likely be occupied by j. +. Downey
in short time.
LaSalle has the Stratical location,
so to speak. for the largest town be-
tween Greeley and Denver. 1t has
the railway facilities, being on the
main line ei the Union Pacific be-
tween Denver and Chicago, and also
on the line between Denver and
Cheyenne 1t is surrounded by
about as fine farming country as
can be found any place in the
Greeley district, the soil being light
and .loamy, and crops usually from
one to three weeks earlier there than
any other place in the district.
At present the business enterprises
there are not many, being comprised
in one general store, restaurant,
blacksmith shop, post office, tele-
and watering tank, but wait a few
months, and an entirely different 3p-
pearance will be discovered. The
main reason, probably why the town
has not grown before, is that the
party owning practically all the land
in the immediate vicinity refused to
sell.
The people in the vicinity of La
Salle are among the very best in the
country, maintaining one of the
finest schools in the. county, outside
of the city high schools. There Is
also q Presbyterian church In the
town, and one or two more are
promised 1t is also contemplated
enlarging the three room school
house, which is becoming over
crowded.

BIG SUCCESS
OLD SONG CONCERT ENJOYED
BY HUNDREDS
One Hundred Dollars Even Turn.
ed Over to P. A. Tisdel for
the Use of Sweet Char
ity Purposes

The old time song concert is
went, p" and with that "a good even
ing's entertainment. The regret of
it all is that the idea was never
thought of before, and several such
concerts could have been enjoyed.
The consolation is that the future is
long and we may have again the op-
portunity, many times.
AS near as can be counted, 45O
people were packed into the First
Presbyterian church last Friday
evening for the Tribune's charity
concert. After all expenses con-
nected with the affair were taken
care of. an even 800 was turned over
to p. A. Tisdel to be used in help
| ing the needy poor of the city.
| In merit the entertainment COM
| pared favorably with any amateur
| performance ever given in the city
| The uniqueneSS of the numbers on
! the program consisted in their very
commonness, the songs that we had
heard hundreds of times in the years
ago, but which were so old now that
| they were new. There was perhaps
a little flaw in things here, though.
In the arrangement of the particular
score used, there had been a little
attempt at undermining the songs.
In the main. though, they were ar
ranged as in the good old days. when
young people gathered in the even
ing and everybody sang soprano, re-
gardless of voice. But what's the
use of telling about the entertain
ment. everybody who cared for such
| things was there, and not one seems
to have kick coming.

part:
