Ing industry when he rides along
this canal, as compared with what
it was few years ago. a
In the haying season, it is no
uncommon thing to see from 3 to 8
hay derricks going at once, to stack
the large amount of hay raised uu-
der this canal. Besides the i'm
mense tonnage of hay raised this
season, one thresher alone threshed
over $4,000 bushels OF grain; and
after the threshing of grain was
over, 6 steam threshers were re-
quired to thresh> the alfalfa seed
raised under tnis canal, which sold
as high as IL cents per pound.
All the hay is sold from So to $6
per ton. s-.y
The just and equitable distribu-
ton of the water recently decreed
by Judge Stewart from the Boise
River gives the farmers some show
to get what belongs to them in low

for 6 or 8 years, the lower Boise
canals and ranchers, from the first
of August, had to be content with
dry ranches and canals, and now it

Stewart is 10 be commended for

extremes, extreme heat and ex-

Of only 1885 feet, it is suitable for

The New Asylum.

Governor Gooding is anxiously
awaiting news of the completion of
the new state asylum for the insane
at Oro6no. The overcrowded ccn-
dition of the asylum at Blackfoot
has made it imperative that at least
half of the patients here be trans.
ferred to the North Idaho institu-
tion as soon as possible.
According to a special dispatch
from Orofno to the Lewiston Trib-
uue, work on the asylum is pro-
crossing most satisfactorily, and
within few weeks the main build
ing will be under roof. At the
present time the carpenters are in
stalling the joist for the third
story, and all of the material is on
the gronnd for the extension of the
walls to the ceiling.
The building is of a most sub.
stantial character, all partitions be.
ing of brick, and the walls heavy
and supported by strong founda-
ton. The brick used in the con-
struction of all the asylum build
ings is burned on the grounds of
the institution, at a point conven-
iedt to the point selected.

BLAZE IN DAVIS
COOPER BLOCK.
Affirming, BUT NOT VERY DE.
STRUCTIVE. ~.

The FIRE in the binding owned
bv Messrs. c. w. Cooper, G. s.
Davis and G. w. Froman, which
broke out Tuesday afternoon, re.
lsulted in loss Of from $1,000 to
$4,000. The 6re originated in a
detective fue. and according to
men who are competent to judge,
must have been burning for several
days. The fremen promptly re-
sponded to the alarm. and in an
hour had the fire under control.
The lower part of the building,
occupied by e. G. Lavering, Baker
& Ford, Idaho Meat Co. and Miss
Dorothy Stewart, was not damaged
to any considerable exteut. How.
ever, these parties suffered some
loss in moving out their goods.
The second story and roof was
greatly injured, and some of the
furniture of those living in the
building was damaged by rough
handling. Altogether, it was a
lucky fire for all concerned.

Amy one who a hundred years
ago had couple of pair of boots or
a broken down rig could have trad
ed them for the whole state Of Iowa.
Napoleon thought so little off that
he threw it in for good measure
when Uncle Sam was buying the
Louisiana territory. Feel in your
pockets and see if you have enough
to buy the present Iowa. To do
that job would stagger the richest
country in the world as Iowa is an
ideal farming state and, taken in
all, is perhaps the finest agricul-
tural area Of its size in the world.
This shows how little the so.called
"sages" of old times knew about
things. We always had Our sus-
picions that the much vaunted wis
dom of the ancient was greatly ov-
erestimated. The average farmers s
son now could teach old King Sol
omon a lot of things.-American

The Scientific American states
that about $500, 900, 900 worth of
farm machinery is made and sold
each year in the United States. It
is said that fully one-half of this
goes into the hands of men who do
not know how to select it wisely or
to keep it in proper condition. The
waste which results runs into mil"
lions of dollars annually. In ad-
dition, implement manufacturers
lose large sums in making and at
tempting to introduce machinery
uusuited to the work it is intended
to perform, with a resultant loss to
both farmers and manufacturers.

EAT AND ARE MERRY
Weld County Medics Gather
About Festive Board

The Weld County Medical society
held its first annual banquet IN Ma
sonic Hall, following a business
meeting last Monday evening. In
vitations were sent out not only to
the twenty members Of the society,
but to every one of the forty-tive
physicians in the county.
DIR. Wetherill of Denver, presi.
dent of the state society and DR..
Black of Denver, were both present
and responded to tcasts.
DIR. r. F. Graham was toastmaster
of the evening and toasts were re-
sponded to by the two doctors men,
toned and Drs. Pogue, Dyde,
Spaulding, Law, Ringle and others.
DIR. Ella Mead was the only lady NJ.
D. at the banquet, and she is at
present president Of the society and
city physician of Greeley.
The banquet was an unusually
elaborate one. The tables were set
in the form of T, and we're beauti-
fully decorated with American
Beauty roses, smilax and ferns. The
color scheme, red and white, was car
ried out in the stick candy wigwams
at each place and carnations used as
favors. The excellent menu was
served by Miss Miller, assisted by
the Misses Mabel Wasley, Grace
Wilson, Bessie Banta, Luella Daven
and Nellie Thompson.

ing a stock concern in which many
OF the farmers are interested as snare
holders. The establishment Is man
aged by T. B. Gage, who LOOKS 10
the interest of both the company ana
the farmers, who supply the estao-
lishment with fresh milk, which re-
ouires about ., 900, 600 pounds year,
Here several brands Of condensed
milk and cream are put up OF whlch
the "Columbine" and Red Cross
are the leading brands. Besides the
case goods much condensed milk is
put up in bulk, which is sold to con-
fectioners throughout the state. The
entire output Is consumed In COLO
RADIO. Wyoming, Utah and New Mex
leo. and is found to be second TO
none in the market.
Besides the condenser there Is also
the Silver State creamery and cheese
factory, owned and managed by y.
E. Frinck, which receives about o,ooo
pounds of milk daily. AS the milk
for these two establishments is fur
nished by the farmers, as side is
sue with farming, they prove quite
an auxiliary aside from the crops
raised from the soil.
Another establishment here highly
appreciated by the farmers and stock
owners, is the feed mill, owned by
Adamson s. Son. This firm manu-
features ground feed from grain and
sells or exchanges With the farmers
at the lowest possible price, as there
are no middle men to handle 1t be-
fore the farmer gets it.
East of town lies quite an expanse
of prairie not yet under cultivation
for want of water, but there is some
talk of ditch being run through
that section in the near future which
will add greatly to the agricultural
resources of this section,. and will
mean much for Lupton's advance
ment.
Much complaint is heard from
farmers concerning the condition of
the county roads in this section.
Some say it has been five years since
anything in the way of improvement
has been done on several of the
county roads here, and that since the
hauling of beets and crops in general
has begun these roads have become
almost impossible. Bridges and
bitches are broken and patched up
as the farmers can to enable them to
cross. Roads leading to and from
the main thoroughfare instead OF be-
ing graded, are followed out and
resemble very much the dry bed of
some former stream. If the farmers
here have not already petitioned the
county commissioners for relief in
this line, they are praying, at home,
that this part of the county receive
attention in the way Of public works
in proportion to the amount Of pub
lie funds received therefrom.

New Meat Market.

Thompson & Boyer have opened a
new meat market in the Woodbury.
building, 72l Ninth street, with
everything bran new and tirst-class.
Fixtures, cooling room and acces-

something in the meat line Just a
little better than you have been hav.

HAVE NO MORE OF 1T
Are Also Going After Railroads
About New Order in Freight
Business-Grand Canon
Pictures

mercial club enjoyed another BAN
quet and rousing good time, besides
transacting considerable business of
Importance. Two things in partic-
ular that the club went after, and
that showed more than ever the
need Of big stick'' in Greeley,
was the fake advertising gratis, and
the q. P. and C. & S. railroads.
A resolution was passed to ask the
two railroads to rescind their recent
order, that all freight bills must be
paid at the freight office as soon as
the bill is received. Under the new
rule. it does not matter that busi-
ness man may not be able to get his
freight for week, as soon as the car
is pulled into Greeley and the bill of
the goods is received at the freight
office Mr.. Merchant will be notified
and he must then line up with other
merchants at the desk in the freight
office and pay his bill. There is no
chance Of seeing goods and to ascer-
tain if they are all right.
At present the merchant can have
the goods delivered as soon as the
car stops, and then the regularly au-
thorized drayman comes around after
a while and collects.
The matter was left with THE
transportation committee of the
Commercial Club to take up with
the railroads and see If The order
could not be rescinded.
The matter of fake advertising
was only brought up for discussion,
but enough was said SO that it is
certain that resolution will pass
at the next meeting of the club,
changing the bylaws of the club so
that no member may patronize any
thing but legitimate advertising
mediums, such as newspapers and
magazines. OF course, it will not
prevent merchants and other business
men from putting out calendars,
blotterS, ETC., themselves, but there
will be no outside grafters in the
deal.
Assistant Secretary Williams o.
the Colorado Commercial association
was at the meeting Monday evening
and along this same subject stated
that something like $500, 600 hac
been taken out of the state last yea
on fake advertising, that did not dt
the advertiser one particle of good
1t is this kind of advertising thai
the Commercial Club is after.
A committee will be appointed by
, President Clayton to pass upon al
advertising schemes before any car
be worked in the city, at leas,
among members of the Commercial
Club, which includes nearly all the
men who have anything to advertise
The state association represented
by Mr.. Williams was heartily en-.
dorsed for its work of advertising the
state.
The entertainment of the evening
consisted of series of lantern slide
pictures of Grand Canon of the Colo
rado, shown by W. H. Edwards.
Mr.. Edwards is one of the very few
men who have passed through the
canon, following the course of the
river, part of the time by land, part
of the time in boats by water, and a
good share of the time in the water.
This is probably the most complete
set of pictures of the great natural
wonder in existence. MIR. Edwards
gave thrilling account of the trip
In connection with the pictures, and
the entertainment was looked upon
as one OF the very best the club evel
enjoyed.
