of a green-haired acquaintance
This statement in regard to the
meeting of her husband and the green
haired lady coincided with the glimpse
she had OF it from her tower, though
at that distance she had not noticed
the color of her hair. An accidental
meeting, evidently; but they went on
in the same train together, perhaps In
the same car If friends, undoubtedly
they rode together. Well, what OF
that? Friends meet each other at eV-
cry turn. Her husband might in the
mast have done the woman kindness
or some little service. 1t would be
like him. He would tell her all about
it on his return.
And, with a pleasant adieu to Miss
Chase Mrs. Hamilton went away.
She called at the Savings Bank in
passing. and Tony Osborn. with his
pen behind his ear, came at once to
speak to her.
Good morning, Tony; very busy, I

that her husband always cleared the

her way. She met Mr.. Henderson,
who stopped to speak to her. and to
ask when her husband would be back.
"Only been away six hours and we
miss him already! No one can man
age like Vane. In week or two?
Yes that's what he told me. But, by
George; he never told me where he
was going. Strange! Always goes

Greeley Starch Factory.

Five million pounds of potatoes have
been made into starch during the last
two months by the Colorado Starch
factory and the factory owned by the
Greeley Ice & Light Company here.
says the Greeley correspondent Of the
Denver Republican. Two hundred tons
were made by the Colorado factory and
100 tons by the other, which began
grinding potatoes less than six weeks
ago.
Over $50 tons Of starch has been
shipped to Eastern cloth and print
mills to be used III sizing cloth.
The starch is made from Gull pota-
toes, heretofore merely waste product.
Greeley potatoes run fourteen per cent.
starch under normal conditions. The
freezing weather in October cut down
the per cent considerably. Better re-
suits will come from the dusout pota-
toes. which were stored before the
freezing weather and which will soon
be sorted. the inferior stock going to
the starch factory.
Two shifts are working and will CON
tinue operations until June 1st The
Greeley Ice e Light factory will build
a large warehouse during the summer
in which TO store the starch, to hold
the product for good market prices.
The experiment of fattening 1000
sheep on potato pulp and alfalfa is be-
ing tried by the Colorado company
with excellent results.
The sheep were placed in the pens
December 1st and will be ready for
market by February 1st The potato
pulp is pumped into the feed pens
directly from the factory and is
warmed by passing over a steam pipe
The sheep relish it and require no wa
ter with il. Some declare the potato
pulp is preferable to beet pulp as 4
fattcning food and predict that twenty
per cent. more sheep will be fed here
next winter.

Verdict Of Arbitration Board

Last Saturday morning an agree
ment was reached by the board of ar
bitration selected by Brady w.
Sharpe, the court house contractor,
and the board OF county commission
crs to adjust the differences existing
between the two parties. These differ
ences grew out OF the claim Of the con
tractor for extras amounting to
$l89l %. Before the trial of the case
the county commissioners had offered
to allow about $500. OO upon this claim,
but refused to allow the full amount
asked for.
The evidence brought before the
board OF arbitration by the county
proved-to the satisfaction of ma
jority of the board, at least-,that
Sharpe's claim of $l93l.25 for extra
material and work was preposterous.
It showed, us a matter OF fact, that he
had no just claim for any excess pay
ment above the contract price: that in
reality he and his bondsmen were in
construction of the court house.
However, actuated by desire to
give the contractor the benefit of all
doubts, realizing as they did that his
mismanagemento of the work, and poor
Judgment in contracting for material,
would leave him loser on the con-
tract, the board agreed to allow
Sharpe s34l 90 upon his claim for ex-
tras. This amount, added to the bal
ance of $3750.75 conceded by tho coun-
ty commissioners to be due him,
makes total of $4O9l. rs now due up
on the contract.
Against this there has been filed in
the county clerks Office bills for ma
terial aggregating s43O9.25, and about
1920 90 in claims for labor, or q to-
tai OF $5509.25. AS the amount due
upon the contract lacks about $l4UO. 90
of being sufficient to pay all claims, it
will be necessary to pro rate the mon
ey available among all claimants.
This will certainly have to be done
unless way is found by which the
labor bills can be paid in full and
other bills pro rated. A settlement
along this line, if the commissioners
find that they are legally able to make
it, would be the popular one to make,
for the laborers are certainly worthy
of their hire, in this as in nearly all
other cases. And it is equally GER
tain, for the statement has never been
successfully refuted, that the price
charged the contractor for at least
part of the material used in the con.
struction of the building was motor
iously exorbitant. If any one must
lose, the public generally would pre-
fer that it be some one else
than the man who earned his money
in the sweat Of his brow.

A County High School Building
Is Needed.

An important question which will OF
necessity have to be brought before
the taxpayers OF Sedgwick county in
the near future is that of county
high school building. Such build
ing is needed badly at the present
time; the quarters now in use are ex-
ceedingly cramped and in another
year they will be entirely too small
for the needs of the school, provided
it continues to grow in the future as it
has in the past. And there is no
reason to suppose that the growth will
not continue. 1t will therefore be nee
essary for the high school committee
to place the question of voting bonds
for the erection of q school building
before the people in short time. 1t
Is possible that building suitable
for the school for number Of years
could be constructed for $s,O00.00 but
it would probably be wiser to erect
one at cost OF 100000. Such q
building would be large enough to ac-
commodate the county high school for
all time to come, and it would not be
economy to erect smaller building.
The Grit-Advocate holds the opinion
that the people would vote favorably
upon bond proposition, for coun-
ty high school building. The people
OF the county generally are proud of
the public schools in the county. And
they are justly SO, for there are no
better schools in any county in any
state in the union than those in Sedg-
wick county, Colorado. This being
true the people are naturally inclined
to keep up the present high standard
of the schools and to do all in the in
power to raise this standard.

quire much moisture. 1t will yield
three crops year and the seed crop
is said TO be larger than the regular
alfalfa. The new discovery means
much for :he great plains region. In
the past alfalfa has been grown chief
ly in the valleys which OF course form
only small part Of the area. The
new crop will enable farmers and
stock raisers to produce alfalfa any
where. Some people think there is
only one kind of alfalfa. The fact is
there are fourteen different kinds but
only one or two will grow on the
uplands without much moisture and
one of these we have had her in
Colorado for several wears. 1t has
produced three cuttings in a season OF
normal precipitation like the past has
been.-Ey

Officers of sedgwick County Bank

Officers Of Sedgwick County Bank.
AT meeting of the stOckhold-
ers of the Sedgwick County bank
held in Julesburg Wednesday
night, the following officers were
elected: WE. Miller, president:
w. f. Coumbe, vice president,
and Arthur Graham, assistant
cashier. Mr.. Graham, late of
Adair county, Iowa, will live in
Sedgwick and will have charge
of the bank.
The head of the institution,
Mr.. Miller, is pioneer of Sedg-
wick county and needs no intro
duction to the older citizens.
For years he has been engaged
in the stock business near Sedg-
wick and by industry and the
exercise of good business judg-
ment has amassed considerable
wealth. At the November cleo
ton in 1904 he was elected coun-
ty commissioner from the third
district, an Office of more respon-
sibility than any other in the
county, and one which he is
splendidly qualified to fill. With
such a man as Mr.. Miller at its
head--a man of wealth, of the
strictest integrity and of excel
lent business judgment-the
Sedgwick County Bank begins
business under the most favor
able auspices. and it's future sue
cess is assured.
