A Well Furnished House

Is an inviting thing. It attracts the
attention of everyone and also goes far
towards keeping the household together
and in good humor. Isn't that true?
Stop and think about it and you will
agree with us. There's many a piece Of
furniture lacking in your home to-day
which you could well afford to buy and
which you ought to have. Treat your
folks right and buy it to-day. We
have three story building full of fur
niture that we would be pleased to have
you inspect any day. The prices will
suit you. Drop in.

TO eEAuTIFY GREELEY.

Now that the money for the sum-
mer band concerts has all been raised
according to promise, the Tribune
has undertaken another work, no less
important. 1t is that of turning
the waste plot of ground at the de-
pot alongside the Colorado & South
ern track between Eighth and Ninth
streets into the prettiest little park
in the state. This spot has been an
eyesore to the Tribune as we'll as
others who take an interest in a
beautiful Greeley, for many years.
Railroads have habit of running
through the poorest portion of the
towns along their line, SO that the
town shows its worst side to the
passing traveller, as we'll as to the
one who makes his first acquaintance
with it from the depot platform.
Imagine that cinder bed turned into
a little oasis, with nice trees along
the west side, and a pretty flower
bed in the center Of plot Of velvet
green, nicely kept and trimmed a.
is Lincoln Park, and one can readily
realize the bettered impression the
city will give to strangers.
1t will cost tidy little sum Of
money to put this bit Of desert ir
shape; Just how much the Tribun,
has not learned. The public vii
not be asked to assist in parking
ti,is, except possibly those who's,
property adjoins 1t. The Colorado
& Southern railroad will help some
and the rest will be raised by tn,
Tribune. An excursion the latte
part of August will furnish part o
the funds, so that the work can b,
commenced this fall and the greer
can delight..the eye early next spring

lows blk the Bell, If they are smart
enough, but we don't want to foot
the bills while they are doing it,
Don't make mistake and think you
are assisting a bunch OF pbilan-
We don't care how much these fel-
thropists to down soulless corpora
tion, when you are really being used
as a catspaw to enrich Spear ct al.
If Spear and the people who are ask
ing the present franchise had been
in earnest in their endeavor to down
the Bell octopus they would not
have let 20 Of the plant they
once owned in Greeley when
they saw chance to make money
out of the deal. Does anybody sup
pose for minute that Ramsay,
Spear or Hill have a piece OF pro-
perty of any sort that could not be
bought If big enough price was
offered for it? In all fairness, II we
help these people establish their
system in order to defeat what we
consider extortion on the part OF the
Bell, how are we to know that they
won't throw US down again as they
are alleged to have done in the past!
1t is all bosh to say that Spear is
not doing this. His connection
with the graft is far more visible
than the hand of the Bell people in
the old Independent company.
The Greeley tribune., 1905-07-27
NOT PERSONAL.

In the roast the Tribune has given
the promoters of a third telephone
system there is nothing personal
against either of the gentlemen con-
cerned, all are good friends Of the
Tribune, its patrons in many ways.
Were they interested in any other
legitimate enterprise the Tribune
would gladly give it boost. But
the fact is, there has been a jolly
row in the independent company
here and Spear is the only one of
the promoters of the new company
who made any money out Of the old
one. He admits being $1,000 ahead
on the deal, while Ramsay and Hill
lost. Now, taking advantage Of the
discomfort with the Bells Scent
trunking charges, and having it in
for the Bell on general principles,
and for Williams, Potter and Gray
as we'll, and seeing chance to make
another stake, they want to affiict
us with a third telephone, which is
neither needed nor desired by busi-
ness men, despite the long petition
that was presented to the council.
A third telephone won't kill or
drive out the Bell.
1t won't get all or half the busi-
ness, but it will get and probably y
hold third of it.
Bought or not bought by the
Bell, the present independent system
will be fixture in Greeley for
many years to come, and will hold
its share Of the business.
There you are. With another
telephone company the business man
must have all. He cannot have
chicken, beef or pork for his din
ner, but must have the three and pay
for them, whether he wants to or
not.
The farmer or city resident is but
little better off. While he can
reach practically all his business
men, and may even have free toll
talks, he may not be able to reach
his nearest neighbor in time of
need, for he is likely to be on the
other system.
One company is enough.
The Greeley tribune., 1905-07-27

CITY for the use OF the same. TIE
fact that former councils have beer
lax in this respect is no reason WIZ
the present one should do likewise
II there is anything like the prott'
in the telephone business In Gree ei
that Spear claims, the s4OO asked !'
certainly reasonable.
The eight-year franchise Is ais
wise provision. At the end OF thai
period the Bell franchise expires, anl
we may have several other indepen
dent systems also, and the city o
county may want to buy up th'
whole lot. or put in its own system
The maximum scale Of rates in
sisted on by the council Is certain y
reasonable, in view of the talk 0
robbery by the Bell company. We
have heard nothing else for the pas'
four wears: but now when the new
independent company that is goins
to bring us out of Egypt and int
the promised land of low charges anC
fine service is asked to put it il
writin," they gig. If they can
make rates as low as the extortiOn
ate Bell folks ask regularly tol
their service. and can't guarante,
free tolls in the county, what's tht
use of encouraging them?
The pomoters of the third com
pany say that the proposed restric
tions would make it impossible fol
them to do business.
In other words, squeeze out tht
water and eliminate the graft anc

coLoRAoo's SUGAR MINES.

The development of Colorado as a
mining state was scarcely as rapid
as is her development as a sugar
producing state Six years ago not
one dollar did the sugar beet con-
tribute to the wealth of the state.
Last year the value of this crop
was more than 5000, 900. The reve-
nue. to be derived from the crop this
year will far exceed that figure.
The wealth of Colorado lies in its
soil. But it is irrigation that has
added the sugar beet to its sources
of wealth. In the neighborhood OF
Grand Junction there are 630O acres
of the vegetable. From the region
around Eaton, Fort Collins, Greeley,
Longmont, Sterling, Loveland and
New Windsor comes reports of a
crop of magnificent promise. Even
in the vicinity of Rocky Ford, dedi-
Gated to the cantaloupe. the farmers
have taken up the beet to replace
their melon crop that was destroyed
by hail.
Nebraska, too is making a bid
for the beet producing state, and the
beet raisers of that common
wealth are congratulating them
selves that the maximum freight rate
law is not in force. The following
table will show the comparative diff
ference between the rates as now
fixed by the railroads of that state
and the ones which the commission
would have imposed:

Important Notice to Telephone
Subscribers.

To avoid errors and disputes we
wish to make clear to you how you
should make your calls to other
towns, where toll charge applies.
The 5 cent local toll is on the same
basis as more distant toll charges,
that is, If call is made for a num-
Der, no particular person being
specified, and anyone answers at that
telephone, charge will be made
whether conversation is held or
not.
If, however, particular person Is
wanted ask your operator to get that
person. If she is unable to do SO no
charge will be made, unless a con-
versation is held, then the regular 5
cent toll will apply.
AS an illustration:
If a subscriber in the Greeley ex-
change wants to talk with John Doe
in Windsor he will ring his cen
tral' at Greeley and when the oper-
ator answers, say Il want John Doe
at number - Windsor"
II call is placed in this way no
charge will be made unless John Doe
is reached, provided Of course, the
calling subscriber does not agree to
talk to some one else at that number
in place of Mr.. Doe.
Kindly give operator your name
when making toll call.

Distance Present Rates Com. Rate.

These figures are unimpeachable.
They are taken from the tariff sheets
Of the railroads and from the pub
liaa1ed rates that the state would
have enforced; They scarcely are a
falling argument for either state or
governmental fixing of rates. The
waning Of those opposed to govern
Hlent regulation, that national dis
tance tariff would prove disastrous
to the agricultural states, seems, in
view of this table, to have some
hasls in fact.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dol
lars Earned.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent Of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved
That being the case he cannot be too
careful about unnecessary expenses.
Very often few cents properly in
vested, like buying seeds for his
garden, will save several dollars out
lay later on. 1t is the same in buy
ing Chamberlain's Collie. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs but
a few cents, and bottle Of it in the

ACTED WISELY.

The action Of the city council
Tuesday night In refusing to saddle
third telephone system on the bus
iness men Of Greeley without some
fixed and adequate return to the
city, and some stiff but perfectly
just restrictions reflects credit on the
sound common sense of that body.
The conditions under which the
council is willing to grant fran
chise are published elsewhere in this
paper.
With the exception of the provis-
ion forbidding absolutely the cut
ting of trees, which may we'll be
modified so that this somewhat nec-
essary evil may be done under the
direct supervision of the street COM

not impossible.

PRESCOTT YOUTH VICTIM OF THE
 TROLLEY.
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Los Angeles papers of the Eth bring the sad intelligence of the death of Clarence H. Schamp, who succumb- ed to injuries received while attempt ing to board a street ear in that city on the 2nd of December. MI. SchamD endeavored to get on the car while it was running at swift speed, and feil under the wheels, crushing his leg t'. a pulp. It is also said that the accI dent was due to negligence on tlts part of the company, and an investig',- tion is to follow.
 The deceased was for many years s resident of Prescott, leaving here about ten years ago. He was a son of MT. and Mrs. Gus Schamp, well known people in this community. He was born at Tiptop, then a lively mining camp in southern Yavapai, and was aged about 9 years. The account ot his death does not state whether hIs parents were residing in that city or not.

TO BE PLACED ON
 ALL ROADS.
(from Fridays Daily)

Hereafter there will not be any ex- cuse for any stranger finding his way along the highways and byways of ha- vapai county. Sign posts are to be placed at the forks of all roads, SC that Che who runs may read.''
 These guide posts will not be the usual wooden affairs that are the target for unsuccessful hunters, but will con sist of two inch iron standard, 12 feet long, surmounted by boiler plate wings. Two of the new finger boards were delivered at the courthouse yes terday for the inspection of the super visors, and Clerk Robinson, who de- vised the plan of construction.
 The sign itself is 20 inches long, bent in the center at an angle that will make each fange face the respective road concerning which information is given to the traveller. It is painted black, with letters in white stating the distance to Prescott on one wing, whila on the other the distance to some point as Walker or MeCabe is given.
 It might seem that these affairs would be expensive, but MT. Robinson has financed the proposition down to such a fine point that the posts com plete will not cost more than $3 each, and perhaps less. He secured the pipe, which is utilized for the standards or posts, having this material donated to the county by different mines. The only expense attached to them IS the freight. Outside of that item the boiler plate, bolt and construction constitute the principal expense. It Is believed that the people living along the roads will be so desirous of secur- ing a guide post that they will gladly undertake to plant the post at the cross roads.
 Especially will the signboards be a great convenience to strangers who visit the mines and other points in the county. The signs are not only use full and ornamental, but they indicate to visitors that this is a progressive county. The supervisors afe to be commended for instituting this inno- vation, and Clerk Robinson deserves credit for the part that he has taken in the construction feature.

FAIR GROUNDS NOW IN SPLENDID
 SHAPE.

The fair grounds are now in splendid shape, and present a striking appear anee, visitors prJnouneing it one of the most complete in the country, and the view is beautiful. The exhibit buildings are completed, and the ex- hibits are now being installed. The mining exhibit is coming in very satis- factorily, and is being arranged by Er- nest Ford and Fred Christy. The edu- cational exhibit has been received from outside points, and is being put in place. Many articles for entry are be- ing received from all parts of the ter rItory in the woman's department.
 The track at the fair grounds is one of the fastest in the country. On one day this week, Custer, one uf J. c. Adams horses, paced half a mile in l:O1, and the W. c. Greene's Florence Wilton went the distance in 1:OO%.
 The railroad companies have "eome through" handsomely on rates, making the fare one and one half cents per mile from all points in the territory and from southern California stations one far for the round trip.
 The postponement of the fair ap- pears to have resulted to it's benefit, and the attendance promises to bc larger than if it had been held on or lginal dates. Christmas day will be the opportunity for the home people, and later in the week all parts of the ter ritory will be represented.
