fellow by the name of Jack McKin-
ney who had broken up a small party
at a home in Mead the evening be-
fore. Mckinney, who is six feet
four inches tall and corresponding
heavy, licked most of the men at
the place and terrorized the women
with big revolver. Constable
Lewis Coats he smashed in the
mouth with set of brass knuckles.
The fellow went to Longmont the
next morning where he was arrested
in barber shop by Marshal Weld

Ramsay-Mead Case.

The C. II. Ramsay and David K.
Mead law suit was finally settled last
week by Mr. Ramsay paying Mead
81, ,OS5. 9S. This was done as the re-
suit of a supreme court decision IN
the case rendered few days pre-
vious.
The case has been in court for
three years and grew out OF an al
legged breach of contract. Mr.. Mead
was travelling man and also had In
terest in large clothing house In
some Ohio town. He was engaged
by Mr.. Ramsay as manager of the
Golden Rule store here and also
traded some OF his clothing store In
terest for interests in the Golden
Rule. After his arrival in Greeley,
for some reason never fully made
public, Mr.. Ramsay decided he had
made a bad bargain and refused to
further carry out the terms Of the
contract, with the result just noted.
Mead sued Ramsay for damages and
the district court awarded him
IS, The case was appealed and
the supreme court added interest and
costs to the amount of s., 900.

New Brand Of Potato.

OF considerable interest to farmers
is the somewhat surprising report
from the department of commerce
and labor concerning a new brand Of
potato which is now being grown
with success in France. 1t comes
originally from Uruguay, bearing
the somewhat terrifying name Of
''solanum commersonii violet and
in taste and nutritive value 1t is
said to be equal to the best potato
known In France. Its chief claim
to ..notoriety, however, is found In
the fact that it is practically frost
proof, and resists all diseases-a
valuable quality in this country,
where potato smut has wrought so
much obstruction OF late years. An
other fine quality which 1t possesses
is it's ability to prosper hest in damp
swampy soil where no other kind OF
potato would grow. With all these
virtues. it is not surprising that its
price is high-about 80 cents a pound
"a fact which will initiate against
it's general use.

When the sstaves are shaped, they
may again be cut into shorter
lengths, accd.ding to specifications

are sharp tuans in the line for the
pipe the lengths of the pipe must be

The staves Are so shaped that they

twenty of these slaves, four inches

formed they are put together on the
winding machine which draws a
quarter Of a4lnch wire tightly about
the body OF the pipe, the strands OF
wire varying 10 distance from each
other according 10 the pressure that
the pipe is calculated to. stand.
After the pipe is wound, it is put
into another machine, that looks
somewhat like the winding machine.

Sure Enough Failure.

AS showing crop fsilure that
is crop failure, the report of Con-
sui Lieield of Froiburg concerning
the last great grain shortage In Rus
sia is interesting. According to the
figures. "a Russian provinces, COM
prising 1853 districts with a, popula'
tion of 25. 900, 600, are suffering from
the consequences of harvest failure.
The deficiency Of the last harvest
amounted to 347,00O,O0O pools, or
about IT'S, 600, 900 bushels Of grain, as
compared with the annual yield OF
the preceding three years, and to
more than $50, 900, 600 bushels as COM
pared to 1904, a figure about equal
to the Nebraska curn crop, greater
than all the crops Of the two Da-
kotas, and equal to nearly .one- half
of the total wheat crop Of the United
States In 1904.

dents Of Denver were just aching to

provacation. This was evidenced BY
the fact that whenever a man bear

In a slighting way, but as the only
token by which they knew Greeley.
The Greeley band, or individual
members of the band were greeted
all over town In the same manner.
One place where the Greeley lodge
made mistake, and 1t was probably
done as matter Of economy. was
In not hiring the Greeley band to lead
them in the parade. The two to.
gether could have made an excellent
showing on the street, and advertis-
ed the town we'll. That was what
several other towns of the state did,
with good results. Many Colorado
towns had bands there all week, and
two Of them took prizes. which in
itself was an excellent advertisement
for the town.

basin is practically completed and
ready for the six inch coat of cement
that will cover the bottom and sides.
This basin will be divided into two
chambers, only one of which will be
used at time. This will leave an
opportunity to skim. the sediment OF
the top of the sand in the one basin
while the other is In use.
The water will come from the
settling basin above, and be run into
one or the other of the mentioned
chambers. Here all the finer and
lighter sediment will be taken out
of the water, while at the settling
basin the heavier matter will 60 to
the bottom. About two feet of fine
sand and below this the same thick
nes of coarser gravel will remove all
impurities from the water. As tho
water percolates through this sand
and gravel it will be taken up by
numerous small pipes lying on the
cement bottom and through these
conveyed to the large outlet pipe
that connects with the main pipe
line and the water Is on its way to
Greeley.
Only by look at the nature Of
the surrounding country can it be
realized the amount of work that has
been done on the upper works. The
ground was covered with a regular
jungle of hnderbrush and trees. The
ground was also so filed with rock
that practically all of the riprapping
was taken out of the settling basin,
and it was not necessary to go far
below the surface of the ground for
it either.
Between the settling basin and
the filtration plant there is sufficient
ground left to construct another
settling basis, of double the capacity
of the first, when this becomes neces-
sary. The present plant is large
enough, however, for city of Is, 600
or more Inhabitants.
The laying of the pipe line proper
will be commenced this week. Some
OF the trench is already dug, espec-
tally at the upper end where the
work is the most difficult. This is
right in the foothills, and the ground
is filled with rock, making digging
difficult. Once outside of the foot
hills, however, the big steam trench
ing machine will be put in use, and
as this will move forward at the
IavpraUp rate pf Siy fpat nor minnie
completing the trench, 1t will be
seen how rapidly the work will pro-
gress.
The laying of the pipe line, ac-
cording to the engineers estimate.
will require 90 to 100 days.

Military Camp.

Greeley was a regular military
camp Thursday night, when two ba-
tallions of U. S. Infantry, from
Fort Russell. Wyoming, camped over
night at Island Grove Park.
The troops are on 25O mile hike
over the country to toughen up their
feet. The troops left here next
morning for Fort Collins and from
there they will go into the Medicine
camp has been established.
Last Friday another division Of
U. S. troops from Fort Logan passed
through here for the same place.
At what is known as Pole mountain
the Colorado and Wyoming troops
will be joined by troops from Fort
Douglas. near Salt Lake City.

together with three or four steel
bands. according to the pressure to
be withstood.
In the links OF pipe will be used
either IA or 20 slaves, according to
the use of the pipe. Striking an
average between the two gives II.
Multiplying 46, by II gives 1872
900. Multiplying $4,000 by %, the
number Of pieces In each joint, gives
l,0l2, 600 and adding those two pro-
ducts gives 1874. 900, the total num-
ber Of pieces that will go into the
new pipe line.
Work has just been commenced
at the pipe factory and from
now on until the Job IS finished the
plant will be busy night and day,
with double shifts OF men. The
pipe is being manufactured by the
Pacific Coast Pipe company, OF Seat
tile, Washington. for the Jacobson
Bade firm OF cnorractors who are
constructing the water works. The
plant here Is in charge OF /. l..
Cole. of Seattle.
Approximately half mile of the
! pipe will be constructed each day,
ready to put into the ground. The
factory now is busy one with buzz
saws. stickers, winding, trimming
and dipping machine, all run by
electric motors. 1t will take about
100 days to complete the pipe line
for thirty-seven miles Of pipe.
The Oregon and Washington fir
lumber, used in the manufacture Of
the pipe is hauled In here In rough,
and piled up about the plant. AS
fast rs needed 1t is cut into the
proper lengths and then goes rapidly
through several machines unil it
comes out In the completed pipe.
The first machine through which the
lumber passes after being cut to
lengths Is q sticket, that shapes 1t

is the most particular operation In
the entire plant. II the pieces

the head of the pipe line. The con-
struction OF this basin is almost as
big work as the laying of the en-
tire pipe line and has taken as much
time as it is now expected to con-
sumo in the laying of the pipe.
The basin is located about a mile
outside of the Poudre river canon
and about nine miles above Fort Col
lins. The basin covers nine acres OF
ground and is twelve feet deep, hav-
ing capacity OF 81, 900, 900 gallons of
water, or sufficient for twelve days
supply for Greeley, even if There Is
not drop OF water run into the
basin from the river during that
time. BY this provision 1t will not
be necessary to use the water from
the river when it is muddy.
Most of the basin is above the ma
tural surface of the ground, high
embankment being constructed all
around it. The inside of the en-
bankment is riprapped with stone,
about the size OF ordinary paving
stones. To protect the embankment
from possible high water the bank
on the river side OF the basin is also
riprapped on the outside with the
same material and Is four feet higher
than the record for high water.
Clear around the basin the top OF the
embankment forms fine driveway.
The size of the settling basin can
scarcely be told In figures and di-
mensions, except to an expert. The
average man must see it to realize
its immense size.
The intake pipe comes from a
mile or so farther up the stream,
and passes along the north side OF
the settling basin. This has already
been laid ana the pipe from the
main line into the basin is also in
place. This is so arranged that .the
water may be turned into the basin,
or it may be run right past and d.
rectly to the filtration basin about a
half mile below.
