wonders of their own country. 1t
is in an attempt to keep, at least.
a part Of this money at home that
the effort is now being made to place
more vividly before the minds of the
people the attractions offered by
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Cali
fornia, Oregon, Arizona and many
Of the eastern states. In the Grand
Canon of the Colorado alone, this
country has that which in grandeur
and sublimity surpasses any and all
of the European scenery. Yosemite
Valley, Yellowstone Park, Royal
Gorge, the Hanging Natural Bridges
of Utah, the Columbia river, and
many mountain sections of Colorado
offer such unrivaled wonder scenes as
will linger for years in the mind Of
the beholder.
Bringing this principal of seeing
what you have at home first still
closer we might say that people Of
Colorado should see Colorado before
they chase all over the other states
of the union. There are plenty OF
attractions here for people with
ordinary means to be feasted upon
! for several years, even though every
summer vacation be spent in our own
mountains.

WHAT IT NEEDED.

Should the new 800, 900 hotel for
Greeley become fact, as now seems
probable. it will mean considerable
good to the city, more than just
the better place at which to accom-
modate the travelling public. 1t
will very likely mean the changing
of the Oasis hotel into a business
block with stores on the ground
floor, whether or not the Elks or
some other organization or enterprise
takes the upper floors. This will
mean number of good rooms for
stores in a part of town where they
are greatly needed. There are sew
eral lines of business for which stores
The Greeley tribune., 1906-03-29

on Seventh street would be practi-
cally as good as on Main street and
there should be enough difference In
the rent to make the Seventh street
stores attractive.
With good stores at moderate rent
to be had, a number of new business
houses would soon be established
here, which would result in added
growth to the town. There are only
few stores in town that are large
enough for growing business, and
there are still less of these that are
so located that they can expand in
size. There is no other remedy
then, than more stores and separate
business houses. OF course, there
will be some persons who will main
tain that we have stores enough, but
barring even the selfish sentiment in
such statement it is illogical. We
might as we'll say that one big de-
partment store could do all the busi-
ness Of Denver. The town is grow
ing rapidly enough in population to
need more stores. The tendency of
the town at present is toward the
south, and the growth in population
will undoubtedly be in that direc-
tion for some time to come, hence
the tendency, also, to shift the busi-
ness portion in that direction. 1t
will be better for business generally,
however, to have the business houses
spread over several streets, than to
try to place everything on one little
short street. This initiates rent
values too much, and is of no advan-
tage except to the few individuals
who happen to own real estate in
that particular section. False rent
value is not good for any town, as
the merchant must make just that
much more upon his goods to live.
That makes living higher also for
the consumer, and works to the dis
advantage of the city as a whole.
Let us have more stores, at places
and prices to suit all comers.
The Greeley tribune., 1906-03-29
,DEALIsM VS.. PROGRESS.

We have become such conglome-
rate body poiitic, or body social.
as the term may apply, that it has
made it hard for any distinctive
qualities the individual may possess
to gain prominence. So, likewise,
is the individual rights often lost
sight of in the still greater rights of
the majority. Few persons can be
left entirely alone to follow the bent
of their inclinations, even though
these inclinations be within the
law. Only man SO disagreeable in
nature that his sneighbors cannot as
sociate with him can enjoy to any
measure seclusion he may desire.
Apropos, the objection of some
residents of the vicinity of Tenth
avenue and Ninth street to a hotel
on that corner, they can hardly be
blamed for their position on that
matter. They were there first, and
morally, If not otherwise, have the
best right to the location, as near az
possible in the same condition as
when it first attracted them to make
their homes there. Without doubt
they selected as ideal a location for
homes as could be found In the city;
right near the park. far enough from
the business section of town to So
cure quiet, and near enough to be
convenient. Any change in condi-
tion in this ideal location will ma
turally meet with their objection.
Yet, with all this in their favor,
1t is probable that it will not have

A SILVER SERVICE.

Through a special committee. Of
which Governor Jesse +. Mcdonald
is chairman, the Colorado State
Commercial ASSOCIATION has opened a
popular subscription fund with
which to purchase silver service
for the U. S. cruiser Colorado. {"
The newspapers of the state have
been urged to accept donations for
this purpose, and the Tribune has
sent to the committee for the proper
material, which is expected here in
a few days, when all those who feel
patriotic enough to donate little
for this purpose can call at this office
and leave the money in box pro-
vided for this purpose, and receive a
receipt for the amount of their dona.
tion.
Each subscriber whose name is
sent to the committee through this
office, on the receipt stub will be
given an autograph certificate con-
tanning a beautiful engraving of the
cruiser Colorado and portraits OF
President Roosevelt and Captain
Duncan Kennedy, commander of the
cruiser. ... ..

SEEING COLORADO.

The Denver g. Rio Grande railroad

problem of turning the tide Of tour
lists from Europe to the great nat
ural wonders of America. ''See

of Utah, delivered at the Seeing

the hotel out of that location.
When it comes to conflict between
idealism and progress, the former Is
usually knocked out. II the citizens
of Greeley raise $50, 900 to put to the
$50, 900 promised by D. A. Camtield,
the new hotel will no doubt be built
on the site selected.
The presence of a hotel in that
section, such as is planned, will
probably be far less disagreeable,
after it is there. than the people
anticipate now. The noise that it is
objected will develop, will be sur
prisingly absent from the place, and
the obnoxious odors that are sup
posed to emanate from the kitchen,
will also be strikingly absent. To
