NEW BED OF SHALE
Greeley to be Home of the Big
Red Brick

Greeley has been somewhat handi-
capped in the manufacture of brick,
that is, good brick, for want of suit
able dirt. A couple of years ago w.
l.. Clayton ran across what he
thought was pretty good stuff, just
north of the McElroy place northeast
of town. He put in pressed brick
plant at considerable expense, and
after the top layer of his claybank
was used up in common brick he has
got into dirt that makes really fine
grade of pressed brick, and is turn
ing out 90, 900 pressed brick daily.
In spite of this heavy production the
demand keeps ahead of the supply.
But these are cream brick, and until
the past few days there has been no
known source of supply for material
that would make nice red pressed
brick. Last week bed of tne black
Sanborn ranch west of town that is
a hundred feet thick and practically
ineXhaustable. Samples of 1t were
brought to the Clayton brick mill,
ground and pressed, resulting in a
brick that weighs "A pounds, or a
pound and quarter heavier than
the average pressed brick. A sample
lot of brick made from this dirt was
put in his kiln and burned, being
finished Tuesday. The result is
some of the finest cherry red brick
that ever came from any man S
plant. The product is superior in
every way to Boulder brick. 1t is
the intention of the owners of the
find to have spur of the G. & S.
built to the claybank, and haul the
dirt to the Clayton plant for manu-
facture until such time as good
plant can be put in operation on the
property. The new brick will mark
the beginning of new era in build
ing in Greeley. and red pressed brick
will figure largely in new residences
built here in the future.

Once on time, so the story goes,
Professor Gideon of the Normal
school had a grievance against Irwin
Elliott, and the young man now re-
ports to the juvenile court. Last
Saturday Professor Gideon was ac-
costed by lady acquaintance on the
sidewalk while he was on his wheel
in the street. He came on the side
walk and rode beside the lady while
saying few words to her, but young
Elliott saw him and it cost him
ss. 20 in Magistrate Wizards court
for the ride. And Elliott chuckles.

Shippers will do we'll to hold back
their half fat and common cattle
and make them good before sending
them in as they are not wanted here
or at any other market. A little
later in the season this class of stuff
will be in good demand to 60 to the
feed lots but there is no activity in
feeders and stockers as yet. The
corn crop is still too much of an un-
certainty and feeder buyers prefer to
wait few weeks before making
their purchases. With beef at its
present low level and corn selling
high buyers cannot afford to fill their
feed lots with high priced steers.

To Farmers Near Greeley.

The Tribune wants to gather some
good pictures of farm crop, irriga-
tion and harvest scenes. Parties
living within five or six miles OF
Greeley who have nice crops. and
think they would make good pictures
are invited to notify the Tribune
man by phone or otherwise and
someone will be sent out to make
the pictures. We especially want
irrigating pictures, grain harvesting,
threshing, potato digging, ETC., beet
topping and digging, in fact any
scene illustrating farming in Weld
county. 1t will be possible to make
these pictures any day in the week
except Wednesday. OF course there
will be no charge made for taking
them.

SPECIAL NOTICE

The Tribune wants to meet every man or
woman who holds a contract, or has been
been promised a loan by the United States
Home Builders Company OF Denver These
people are not responsible, and are obtaining
a part OF their business by false pretenses
Not one person i'll ten or, probably, one in
fifty who applies for a loan ever gets it, and
meanwhile he has paid out his money and is
out all round. Greeley is going to get too
hot for these gratters at once.

IS DIFFERENT
WILL BE THE PLATTE CANON
TRIP
There is no Sameness to Colo
RADIO Scenery and no Two
Trips Resemble Each
Other

The Platte Canon trip is different.
Not prettier, perhaps, than either
the Eldora, Ward or Moffat road
trips, but the scenery is wholly un-
like. In the lower Platte canon we
view the crags and castles and but
ments from below. Stretching
heavenward thousands of feet, the
cliffs are more impressive, perhaps,
than viewed from above. Few
canons equal this one in rugged
grandeur. Almost from its mouth,
too, the summer resorts begin, and
so numerous are they that in one
space of twenty miles the train
makes twenty stops, at as many little
clusters of summer cottages. So
pleasing are these little places that
the traveller finds himself uncons-
ciously wishing that he might stop
of day among them. All small:
usually postotfice, hotel, telephone
station, a little country store, may
be, with tents, cottages, or more
pretentious homes of wealthy people,
perhaps, make up the summer life of
these little villages. And every.
where, happy faces. Fishermen are
in evidence at each bend in the
stream, which, as we mount higher
toward the source, loses its dash and
roar and widens out into the most
beautiful little river, winding in and
out among the willows, and through
meadows of brightest green, with a
profusion of meadow flowers That add
wealth of color to the view.
Meadows prim, with daisies pied,
Shallow brook or river wide. -
A paradox surely, but it describes
the scenery in parts of Platte Canon.
On this excursion which the Trib-
une is going to run over the Colo
RADIO & Southern railroad on Friday
the 25th of this month, and which
bids fair to depopulate northern
Colorado for tie day, we want to
crowd just as much real happiness
for everybody into the outing as we
can conjure up. The excursion will
run to Como, and allow a few
minutes there, perhaps an hour.
For those who wish long ride, and
who do not care to stop IN the hills,
the entire trip should be taken. For
those who enjoy climbing around III
the hills, exploring the canons.
hunting wild flowers and waterfalls,
the way to get the most. enjoyment
out of the trip will be to take Il
well-tilled lunch basket, make up
your little party of two people or a
dozen, congenial spirits, and be pre-
pared to leave the train at any sta
tion enroute that strikes your fancy.
There viii be temptations enough
to stop, most certainly, when you see
the canon and its beauties: Pas
sengerS may stop at any station or
siding, by notifying the conductor,
and will be picked up Oh the return
trip. There will be nearly two
hours at the summit. kenosha Hill,
for those who wish to stop there.
This is eleven miles from Como
Longer time may be had in the hills
by leaving the train at stations
nearer the mouth of the canon, but
whatever the passenger decides upon,
he will get his moneys worth of
ride, scenery and fresh air The
train schedule will be printed next
week. The fare will be $3.50 from
Greeley and less from other stations.
