MOTIFS

The first game was the best of the season.
 It was well and truly played. close ly umpired and highly satisfactory to all who witnessed i1.
 The absence of all wrangliHg was a treat To the spectators which was thoroughly appreciated.
 Manager k. l.. Stockard, who has succeeded Mir. John C. Bell is equally as enthusiastic as his predecessor, and will spare no pains 10 have satisfac- tory work.
 The Brewers are gentlemanly. cheerful lot, and did not find any thing to grumble at
 We wonder why il k that Forrest City always gets along nicely with all the visiting teams except Marianna; Perhaps il is Mariana < fault: They are the worst lot Of beefers we ever heard
 Brady k clean ump. The only criticism We have to offer on his work is that he was little slow on several occasions. and did not sing 'em out loud enough We like to hear the ump sing em out quick and loud.

The SECRET IS OUT
How to Make Money Fast and
Furious

One of the prettiest gratis that
has struck this town for some time,
for a name we will call the patent
dog churn game. One young man
recently paid $3.50 to the promoters,
and had promised to pay $3.50 more
for the right to sell the contraption
all over the United States. More
properly speaking he bought the right
to sell the right, in an endless chain
method, for $500 of which amount
he paid $3.50 before he tumpled. lie
is now trying to forget about the
$3.50, because he does not want to go
out and graft others to get even
The peculiar part OF this graft Is
that it is like microbes, capable OF
multiplying itself, until eventually
every man in the country would have
paid $500 for the privilege OF selling
the right to every other man IN the
country. The merits OF uhe al.ioie
is not considered in the transaction,
and so far as is known here nobody
has been given chance to BUY a
sample of the article. 1t Is the
right to sell the right, that Is 'he
stock in trade. When the first man
In a town buys the U. S. right from
the travelling agent, he can at once
90 out and sell the right to as many
persons as he can work. They III
turn have the right to work as many
as they can rope in, and so OH down
the line, until the entire populatloh
has the valuable right, ana SUN
rhe old lady is cburning butter by
hand.
But if you want to make money
fast and furious, buy the sales rlshO

ALL LOOKS GOOD
Boom for Colorado for the Year
of 1906

Denver, Colo, Feb. 7.-Several
sessions of the Department Of Agri-
cultural and immigration Of the
Colorado State Commercial Associa-
tion held in Denver last week In
greatly enlarged methods in the pub
lie work of the central commercial
body of the state. President Barton
o. Aylesworth of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College is chairman of The
special department of the Colorado
State Commercial Association and
his colleagues include Capt. B. F.
Rockafellow, a member of the board
of control of the agricultural col
lege and one of the leading fruit
growers Of the Canon City district;
A. ]. Henbest of Calhan, (; r. G.
Sutphen of Longmont; c. B.
Schmidt, we'll known immigration
agent of Pueblo: VIM. A. Braiden Of
La Jara and Frank j. Mccarthy of
Denver.
The Department authorized the
organization Of corps of one hun
dred official statistical collectors
covering each county in the state,
the collectors to be appointed and
organized into working force by
Prof. w. III. Oln of the Agricultural
College and the statistics thus as
sembled to be used by the college in
educational work and by the State
Association in colonization efforts.
The department decided to inves-
tigate the immigration methods OF
all states and to adopt enlarged
plans in behalf of Colorado. 1t was
estimated that 25, 900 homeseekers
settled in Colorado last year and an
effort will be made to double this
record for 1906. A special commit
tee was appointed to encourage hog
tattening in Colorado and DR.. Ayles-
worth stated that sugar beets were
worth as much to the farmers when
fed to hogs as when. sold to factories.
The fact that Colorado oats contain
more fats than eastern oats will be
used as a basis for encouragem ent to
oatmeal and breakfast food manu-
facturers to locate in Colorado. In
the opinion of the committee, Colo
rado can prottably produce one
thousand acres Of oats to every one
hundred under present conditions.

Church of Mystery.

People OF the East Side are very
much mystified about chapel that
is being erected near the East Side
meat market. The building Is be-
ing put up by A. Thompson, who
maintains an air of mystery when
asked what the building is to be
used for. He smiles and says 1t
will be the East Side chapel, and
among other things 1T will be for
Sunday school to take care Of the
classes numbering nearly 100 pupils
that have been attending Sabbath
school in the East Ward school
building.
Shrewd people have guessed that
1T was an NJ. E. chapel, but the trus-
tees of that denomination here say.
nay, nay. Others guess that the
building is being put up for Nor
mon church, but here the air Of
secrecy appears just as great. So,
presumably, it is just going to be
chapel, for rent to any gospeler that
cares to rent 1t.

A Touch of Winter.

The first real snap of winter came
some time during the night between
Saturday and Sunday. There was
considerably surprise when people
pulled out of bed Sunday morning to
find an inch Of snow on the ground,
with mercury barely peeping out of
its bulb, looking scared and timid.
1t did not thaw all day Sunday; not
SO as to be noticeable, although the
prediction was general that old Sol
would make that little white blanket
look like dew drop.
Monday morning showed four de-
grees below zero, and still no signs
of thaw that day.
OF course people all remember
that little touch of winter we had
last fall during potato digging.
That was not the real thing, how
ever. Even the weather man ad-
mitted that this was not intended
for the Greeley section. He simply
made mistake in the address and
dumped about six inches of snow
down in the potato and beet patches.
After that he did the white thing,
though, by putting up regular Flor
ida weather for about three months,
so that probably we have no valid
kick coming on the weather.

New Town of Adams.

Adams, a new town on the Lib
erty Hall branch of the Sugar
road" has just been born. 1t is ten
miles south of Johnstown and that
far north of Longmont. The town
site Is on the l6O-acre farm of Paul
Mead and is in a rich farming
country.
The tract has been surveyed into
town lots and several have been sold.
Six cars of lumber were unloaded on
the town site one day last week. and
other building material will arrive
during the week. The new town is
a mile south and the same distance
east of Highlandlake, which is an
old settled community. The store
and most of the dwellings of High
landlake may be moved to Adams.
The lumber yard is already doing
business.
w. II. Mccormick, a merchant of
Berthoud, will establish a branch
store there. The Great Western
railroad has promised daily trains to
the new town. Heretofore the regu-
lar train has stopped at Johnstown.
The extension of the sugar road from
the new town to Longmont. which is
promised before the end Of the sum-
mer, will make Adams an important
trading point within short time.

The machinery is all of the latest
pattern and is suitable to can any
kind of vegetables except corn and
peas. The capacity of the factory is

Storms Return.

Fred Storms, one of the young
men who disappeared from Greeley
after being allowed to go upon his
own recognizance after being charged
with gambling, has been back. Two
or three days after he disappeared
Sheriff FIorance had occasion to go
to Canon City with prisoner. On
the train he met Storms and brought
him back. He was fined $50 and
costs in the county court, the amount
totaling s77, which his stepfather,
George Howard, settled.

RAN AGAINST A SNAG
High School Plays Fast Chicago
Team to q Standstill

The Chicago Meteors, basket
ball team from the windy city max
ing tour of the west, played the
high school at the armory Thursday
evening in the presence of packed
house. The game was hair raiser
from start to finish. The visitors
were the fastest team ever seen here
and had not the local boys been
aware of this they might have given
them the first defeat of their western
trip. They started off with such a
rush that they made most of their
points before the school boys got to
going Afser that, however, the
game was great. The first half the
Meteors run up 20 to 8 on the local
team. The next half things were
more even, the high school making
l5 points to the visitors IA. Aside
from the good teamwork of the Chi
cago team their center, Harris, was
a wonder, making a basket about
every time he secured the ball.
Meade and Rankin were the stars for
the high school, pulling off plays
that looked impossible.
After the game Manager Hahn
said it was the best game his team
had been played since leaving Chi
cago. The game was clean and free
from any wrangling, the visitors
showing themselves to be a gentle
manly lot and Hahn, who refereed,
pleased everybody by his good work.
The boys feel as good over 43 to "a as
they have any victory of the season.

caught in the tall grass of the yards
west OF the railroad tracks, but the
vigilant owners were always present
to put it out before damage was
done.
BY - O'Clock the fire was under
control, made easier toward the last
by the dying down of the wind to
some extent, and shortly after the
whole field was just blackened
