Farmers Sure To Win,

Valuable information concerning
the status and condition OF
the Egyptian cotton crop, showing as
it does, the wisdom of southern plan
lers holding their cotton for a higher
price, has just come to The department
of commerce and labor from Consul
lSmyth at Tun tall, England. Tuns
tall is in Lancashire cotton spinning
district. Of the reports concerning
the Egyptians cotton and of efforts Of
English spiDners to force down the
price of American crop, Mr.. Smylh
said in his dispatch:
"These reports are very discOurag-
Ing, inasmnch as they f~oreshadow u
shortage in this years crop of the
cass of staples that into COM
petition with American cotton. For
this reason i do not hesitate to say II
would be advisable to warn the
southern planters against any move
on the part of Lancashire manufactur-
ers to force sales at low prices in order
to meet the requirements OF such a de-
ficiency.
1.-THE general opinion in Lancashire
is that a plentiful supply of A nerican
cotton can be bad on a Fl penny ba-
Sis that is to say, 10 cents per pound.
Combinations are being formed to
hold the price at this notch, if posi-
bile and these combinations intend to
operate through agents sent specially
to Louisiana and all the cotton pro-
ducing centers Of the South. The
troubles among the cotton manufac.
turers of the East are expected to aid
in the development Of this scheme,
for they are calculated to have q de-
pressing effect on the home market in
their relation to supply and demand.
"My candid opinion is that an enor-
nous amount of money can be saved
to our planters by taking this matter
up in time, and invoking The assls-
lance of the banks or the national
treasury, if such an arrangement can
be. made to enable the planters to
warehouse their cotton until the pres
ent stocks are worked up on this side
and the necessities of the manufact-
turers compel them to treat on more
liberal terms with the growers or their
representatives as the case may be.
1.-The erection of new mills in Ian
cashire and the effect, which their con-
| sumption is likely to have on the mar
ket nextyear lendadditional interest to
this subject, and serves to en-
phasiZe the views I have taken the
liberty to present in this dispatch. Eff
teen cent cotton, or even IL cent
would cut a very important figure in
the net assets of one years crop and
add materially to the wealth and
prosperity Of the South"

FAVOR YONTROTHAS
Damage Suit Against No. 3
Ditch and City

A jury in the district court last
Saturday awarded VonTrotha
Brothers s237.5 In their damage suit
against the Greeley Irrigation COM
pany and the city of Greeley. The
plaintiffs had asked for S763.90 for
damage to their land and crops by
reason of No. ditch causing an
overflow of the Poudre river by the
dam across the river at the head gate
of the canal.
This is the first case of the kind
ever tried here, where a dam In the
river caused flooding of the land
nearby and resulted in damage
suit. 1t is not the first time. by
many, that the river has overfiowed
in this particular spot, but it was
before VonTrotha Brothers owned
the land.
The flood that caused the damage
was that Of last spring when one
evening the city of Greeley was also
flooded by heavy rainstorm. The
dam at the head of No. 3 is SO ar
ranged that planks can be taken out
to let the water through when too
much water backs up behind the
dam. At this time the water came
up suddenly and there being no one
there to open the gates in the dam
and let the water go down the
regular channel, it overflowed on the
VonTrotha farm and did considerable
damage to the crops.
1t was contended by plaintiffs that
had there been man at the dam to
open the gates no damage would
have resulted, hence the ditch COM
pany was liable.

A Unique Sign.

A unique sign that is to be placed
in the office of the Colorado Com
mercial association was shipped
to Denver last Friday by the Com
mercial club. 1t was sign, ten
feet high and about three feet wide,
with the word Greeley" outlined
upon black with white chalk. All
over the letter were nails driven into
the wood a short distance. Upon
these will be fastened potatoes, so
that the word Greeley" will stand
out boldly in the favorite product Of
this region.
The idea was suggested to l..
Rothschild by John L. Burns, of the
state association, and the work done
by Elnor S. Pinney.

Peckham Land Selling.

An unusual movement in settling
the land in this vicinity indicates
that the coming season will see many
thousands of acres under cultivation
that heretofore have been barren
prairie.
Frank j. Mccarthy, who owns
thousands of acres of land in this
section, has brought out large
number of settlers from eastern
states and many more are coming In
the spring. A few years ago the
land was barren prairie and since
the water has been brought to 1t by
the canal irrigation system it has In
creased greatly in value and attrac-
tiveness to settlers.
The growth of sugar beets on the
new land seems as great as on any
of the soil broken years ago. The
same is true Of potatoes. Immense
crops have been realized by many of
the settlers who are working their
crops here for the first season. Land
rent has gone up to fully Sl2 an acre
on the average. Scores OF settlers
who own land rent 1t to farmers who
have not money enough to purchase
but are able to realize handsome
sum every year py the profits from
their crops.
Since the sugar factories were put
in operation here the acreage OF
beets has increased so largely that 1t
is no uncommon sight to see huge
piles of beets containing thousands
of tons of saccharine matter piled in
the fields Many who come here
from the east take snap shots with
kodaks at this novel sight and carry
away a good advertisement for the
Greeley district.
Mr.. Mccarthy intends to open a
large section of country through
which the Motfat road runs. Those
who have invested in the land near
Peckham believe that additional
acres can be secured along the route
of the new line that are fully as
we'll adapted to beet. growing as the
farms of this section.

obliged to share almost equal honors
with Miss Cora Bainbridge. The
vote for the first mentioned young
lady stood l,947, and for the latter
l,51T. So good was the work also by
Miss Bainbridge that the fair COM
mittee purchased gold ring set
with her birthday stone, as reward
for what she had done for the fair.

BOY is DROWNED
Loses Life While on a Skating
Trip Saturday

Willie Hopkins, the eleven years
old son of Mrs. Ida Hopkins, of
1915 Tenth avenue was drowned in
the Rosling reservoir mile and a
half north of town at about noon
Saturday.
The little fellow had gone out
there with John Neutze. to skate,
and was having good time. Near
the north end of the reservoir a
seepage stream runs into the lake,
and there the water is open and the
ice surrounding it rotten. In skat-
ing the-koys came too near the open
ing and went through the rotten Ice.
John Neutze, the companion OF
the boy in the water, ran to the
home Of S. A. Bradfield for help.
William Shakelford responded and
made every effort to reach the boy
who was still hanging on to the edge
of the ice. The man laid down fiat
upon the ice and pushing the Neutze
boy out ahead of him in the same
position had almost reached the boy
in the water when the ice broke
again and the man and other boy
were left struggling in the icy
water. By this time Mrs. S. A..
Bradfeld had reached the edge of the
pond and by means of several straps
tied together she reached the two
persons with this line and pulled
them to shore. When they could
again devote their attention to the
Hopkins boy he had disappeared
beneath the water and he was not
again seen until his body was
brought to the surface by Coroner
Macy.
