POST FAR M
Denver Men Will Start One in
Near Future

George w. Vallery, general man
ager of the Colorado Midland, is
completing the formation of a COM
pany that will have the novel pur-
pose of raising fence posts. Mr.
Nallery is now in New York City
making final arrangements for
launching the company and upon his
return to Denver in few days will
be in position to close deal pend
ing for some weeks for the purchase
of GAO acres in Colorado near the
Nebraska line, when the work OF
planting the fence posts will imme-
diately begin.
There are millions in the indus
try, farseeing men say. 1t Is said
several other Denver railroad men
are interested with Mr.. Nallery In
the enterprise.
With the continuous retreat OF
sources of supply under the attack OF
vigorous demand the length OF haul
increases and cost Of transportation
rises higher and higher. Yet the
fields and pastures must be fenced,
Posts must be had.

Is Your Name In?

All the information for the new
city directory is now in from the
residence section of the city. If
you have any reason to believe that
your name has been left out you had
better call up the Tribune office and
have the name inserted. There will
not be many names missing when
the book is published, but there may
be a few, or you may have changed
your address since the solicitor
called. 1t will still be time for an
other week to have such correction
made.
Officers of lodges should also be
sure that their order is represented
in the lodge directory. A great
number of the books have been sold,
and big effort is being made to
have this the most accurate work OF
the kind ever put out in the city OF
Greeley.

Greeley Club Celebrates Birth Of
Washington

The Greeley Club last Thursday
evening enjoyed one of those rare
occasions when the doors are opened
to members and their ladies in one
big family reunion. }t was the de-
sire to honor the memory of George
Washington that brought it about.
On only one occasion before has the
club rooms seen such an outpouring
of the elite of Greeley, and that was
when the new rooms were inaugu-
rated little over two years ago.
Thursday evening the rooms we're
handsomely decorated with the na-
tional colors, and with potted plants
and palms. Navajo rugs in great
numbers were spread upon the floors,
both of the main hall and the bill
lizard room, where the refreshments
were served. In one of the front
rooms punch was served by colored
walters, and the more substantial
refreshments were in charge of Miss
Sadie Miller in the billiard room.
In one of the card rooms, which
had been cleared of furniture, the
orchestra was half hidden in palms
and other plants.
AS souvenirs of the occasion the
gentlemen were presented with small
hatchets and the ladies with a
cluster of artificial cherries, all sig
niticant of the day.
The reception lasted from s to IL
O'Clock.

WATERSP0UT'
NEW IRRIGATION PUMP RE
SEMBLES THIS
Wyoming Men Take up Ed,
House Idea and Make Great
Success out, of the
Continuance

County Clerk Davis and Deputy
Assessor McAfee went to Denver last
Thursday to look over a wonderful
irrigation pump there of which they
had heard. 1t turned out to be an
exact duplicate of the Ed. House in.
vention that he has shown working
model of for some time, and the first
life size copy of which was damaged
by flood, so that he did not put it
into practical operation. The pump
in Denver is located on the bank Of
the Platte river, and according to
the gentlemen who saw it., is WON
der for throwing water, and they
also believe that 1t will lift water
with less power than any other pump
now in use. 1t was running a
stream of water over a sloping
flume, four feet wide and ten inches
deep. Just how much power 1T took
to lift this amount OF water could
not be ascertained. The parties in
charge of the contrivance claimed to
be using a twenty-horse power elec-
trio motor, but every mark indicat-
ing the power of the motor had been
carefully removed.
The principle of the pump is GEN.
trifugal force. 1t is funnel like
form set with the small end In the
water. From the bottom to the tor
and also in a sloping position art
ribs on the inside of the funnel ur
which the water slides when the
whole thing is set revolving. The
water runs over the top of the funnel
and into trough that surrounds 1t,
and from there runs into the tiume
and is carried off. This particular
model lifts the water ten feet, and
is four feet across at the top. The
weight of the entire thing is about
700 pounds.
Now that the machine has beer
tried and show to be good, it is
likely that there may result warm
legal war as to who holds the patent
on the thing. Mr.. House appears tt
have the best Of it as he certainly
obtained patent papers upon his in
vention some time, ago. The othel
fellows who seem to hail from
Casper, Wyo., also claim to have
their contriyance patented. A:
their model is such an exact copy OF
the one that MIR. House has beer
working on. somebody will either
lose out on a good thing, or there is
likely to be trouble.
Mr.. House has made three models
each embodying the same principle
of lifting water, and it is the last o.
these models made that is identica
with the machine the Denver mer
have in OperatiOn.

DEAL IN EGGS
TRIBUNE FORCED INTO COM
MISSION BUSINESS
Slip on Part of Proof Reader
Sells $50 Dozen Copies of
Hen Fruit Last
Week.

The Tribune this week bought SIS
worth of fresh eggs, which proves
that the base ball business Is not the
only one to which the term costly
error" is applicable. 1t was on ac-
count of slight error that the in
vestment in hen fruit was made,
and the sad part of it was that the
Tribune did not get one solitary egg
the more sad, because the eggs
were fresh.
There is, however, a slight balm
in the knowledge, that at least one
merchant of Greeley has had the
value of Tribune ad so forcefully
Brought to his attention that more
than ever he will be confirmed ad-
vertiser.
But to the egg story:
Last week John Rocho of the Red
Front sent in a one line ad of fresh
ranch eggs 20 cents. In the proof
the ad came up fresh ranch eggs 10
cents. In some way the error es-
capped the proof reader and the ad
was so printed. But evidently the
proof reader was the only person in
town whom the error had escaped.
Thursday was legal holiday and no
papers were sent out by carriers, so
that the only ones distributed were
the box papers in the post office. 1t
was not many minutes, though, be-
fore there was a call over the phone
to verify the figures on eggs. Not
until then had Mr.. Rocho discovered
the error. He called up the Tribune
and after discussion as to the best
thing to do under the circumstances
il was decided to limit each GUS
toner to one dozen eggs at the. 10
cent price, and the Tribune would
stand the difference.
When the store closed Saturday
evening l04 dozen eggs had been sold
on the one dozen limit, which meant
that lo4 persons had bought eggs In
the two or three days. Many OF
these did not contine their purchase
to one dozen, but they were kept
strictly to the one dozen for 10 cents.
If there was ever better illustra-
tion of the value OF advertising, and
advertising in the Tribune, 1t has
not come to our notice. III one
line reading ad can bring $50 persons
into one store that little ad Will be
worth many dollars to the merchant
because very few persons will come
in and simply buy the one article
offered at bargain,
No advertising can sell sooos'
All it can do is to bring customers
TO the store. If the merchant thef
has the goods at the prices adVei
Q
tised, and otherwise treats his Gus
TONERS right. he will sell the goods,
and will also be willing to give the
advertising medium its share OF the
credit.
Inst because customer comes lnlC
your store and buys goods and does
not state that he read about 'he
bargains in the local paper, Is nc
sion that he did not, and that thls
very advertisement was what prousii'
him in. Most men are timid about
letting merchant know that they
are looking for a bargains Jusu
bjt ashamed of themselves. Inc
women are different in this respect
and will take to bargains as ouch
to water.
When considering the question OF
,ynerher or not it pays to advertlse'
inst remember this little egg story
and he convinced that 1t does. "A

own Monk is a common, every day
mongrel, but he has also demonstrated
what good care and kindness can do.
Poor little Monk had probably seen
many hardships in his puppyhood, for
he was only a 6 stray dog,D with a
badly injured foot, when DR.. Key,
Jim s trainer, found him on the street.
DR.. Key could not leave the little
fellow in his misery, SO he carried him
home, and finally cured him. .....
During his invalidism Monk was
thrown with Jim Key, and it was then
that this remarkable affection between
horse and dog became apparent, until
now they are thei3mo constant com
panions.
Monk has repaid all the love and
for DR.. Key and Jim that is almost
human. One day DR.. Key discovered

that time on this was Monk s favorite,

friend, barking feTcelY if anyone APP

he is, he evidently feels that he is Jim

Mr.. Rogers did not wish to take him
on their tours at first, fearing he would
be too much trouble, but DR.. Key plead
ed to have the little dog go along, and
I so consent was given.
