An Unlimited
Range Of
Pleasure
Is Yours With a Pianola.

When you realize that the Pianola
will place at your finger tips the ell
tire art of piano playing, you are in
position to appreciate that invest
ment in a Pianola affords you limit
less possibilities for pleasure. Just
think of being able to sit in your own
home and play over for your own en-
joyment, or for the entertainment of
your friends, everything that a Reise-
nauer or a Paderewski plays before
great audiences.
You can have the latest two step or
operate hit, the most fashionable
dance music, equally with the great
classics of music.
There is no investment possible to
make for the home that promises
such an unlimited range of pleasure
for so reasonable an expenditure as a
Panola.

A sPUD SPECIAL
;. & S. Inaugurates One Between
Denver and Texas

The Colorado & Southern railroad
has inaugurated new train service
between Denver and Texas in the
way of the "Greeley Spud Special, +"
which will leave Denver every day
carrying the Greeley product to
Texas on passenger train schedule.
This new fast freight service.
which was begun last Monday, 1t is
believed will save many carloads of
potatoes from spelling by frost or
otherwise. The greatest trouble of
tnis kind is experienced before the
potatoes can be rushed out of Colo
RADIO after they have been loaded into
cars. Often the weather Is mild
and no danger of frost anticipated,
when the night may suddenly turn
off snappingly cold and unless there
is a convenient roundhouse into
which the cars of potatoes can be run
and kept warm chances are that they
will be frozen harder than brickbats.
This is especially true when there Is
4 scarcity of refrigerator cars and
these have to be improvised from
regular box cars.
With the new 'spud special" run
ming every day there will not be the
delay of the past seasons and it will
enable dealers to fill their orders
upon much shorter notice, and in
every way help the business.

them had received of what the $3.50,
000 OF the city's money was being
spent for.
The settling basin covers nine
acres of ground and will hold 81, :
0OO.0 gallons of water, sufficient for
a twelve days supply for the city of
Greeley even if there is not drop Of
water run into the basin during that
time. This basin was constructed
for the double purpose of helping to
clarity the water used and also for
storage during floods and muddy
water in the river.
Most of the basin is above the
natural surface of the ground and
the embankment is nicely riprapped
OH the inside with paving stones.
The whole thing has an air of solid
tysand permanence easily recognized
by these familiar with storage reser-
voirs.
Just below this basin the city of
Greeley owns ground enough for the
Instruction of another and sill
larger reservoir If the city should
grsp.,th double It's present size. The
facilities, now, however, are ade'
quate for many years to come.
The pipe line for the system crosses
the river right opposite the upper
end OF the reservoir, and runs along
the north side Of the latter. BY d
system of valves the water can be
run into the reservoir at the upper
end, or can be allowed to run down
the main line of pipe. At the lower
END of the reservoir the water is
again controlled by II similar system
of valves so that when the water is
clear in the river it can be taken di-
rectly to the filtration basins, with
out first running through the settling
reservoir.
The filtration basins, located some
distance below the settling reservoir,
is really the most important part OF
the system in the making OF a pure
water supply. Here every particle
OF sediment in the water will be
taken out by running the water
Though several feet of sand and
gravel, from which it will emerge
as clear and sparkling as the water
OF any mountain stream.

Over Two Hundred Excursionists See and Ad-
mre Work Done for Soft Water Supply
for Our City. Tribune Excursion Last
Friday Was Great Success.
Water System Described.

Exactly the required number OF
passengers. 200, went on the Tribune
special excursion over the G. g. S. to
the head of the new water system
last Friday. Through misunder-
standing of orders the special train
that was to carry the people to the
place did not reach here at all, and
it was necessary to wait until the
regular train came down from Fort
Collins
Barring this little misunderstand-
ing, for which nobody made u kick,
the trip was one of the most success
full ever conducted by the Tribune.
While the evening before 1t looked
as though nobody would go, as only
-four tickets had been sold in ad
vance, although the business section
of the town had been canvassed, the
crowd began to arrive early at the
depot, and by 8 80 close to 200 ex-
pectant passengers were waiting.
AS it became known that the train
would be late telephones were put
In use and more people stirred up to
go on the trip.
Mayor Green and the members of
the city council all went along to
help the CONSTRUCTION engineer and
Others of the contracting firm to ex-
plain the works to the crowd.
The train was run out on the new
Colorado & Southern branch to Bell
vue and north past the filtration
basins and was stopped within a few
rods of this work. Here lunch was
served by w. /. Spere and then the
work of formal inspection began.

tion basins We're examined and their

walk was taken to the head OF the

pleased with the work the council
had done for the money. 1t was the

This basin is in two parts, one
half to be used while the other Is
being cleaned out and the sand
changed. In this way the sand will
be kept always fresh and clean.
The pipe line has now been laid to
point about opposite Fort Collins,
or one quarter of the distance to
Greeley. AS this is the hardest part
OF the route, owing to the rocky soil,
the rest of the work will progress
much more rapidly, and it looks now
as though the entire system would
be ready by Jan. l, 1907.

A GREAT DAM
THAT WILL HOLD BACK AN
OCEAN OF WATER
North Poudre Irrigation Company
Planning to Build Enormous
Storage Reservoir on
North Fork

The North Poudre Irrigation COM
pany has decided to build great
storage reservoir on the North Fork
of the Poudre river. The reservoir
will be formed by building huge
dam of masonry right across the
stream in a narrow canon. When
this reservoir is completed 1T will be
the largest in the state, and also one
of the strongest.
Completed the dam will be so feet
wide at the base and l30 feet high.
At the 10 foot-contour the lake
will cover 454 acres of land and hold
9Ol, 70s, 900 cubic feet of water, or
practically about 10000 acre feet.
The water will set back about two
miles and will cover the Milne Derby
and Jack Bell ranches and will be
30 feet deep where Jack Bells house
now stands. The lake will be about
half mile wide at the widest point
and thirteen miles around it. At
the l60-foot contour the lake will
hold ia, 900, 900 cubic feet of water.
This will require dam IA feet high,
300 feet long and 40 feet wide at the
base. The estimated cost of dam
IA feet high is 800, 900, of a dam l30
feet high, s37l, 900. a spillway over
granite mountain, capable of dis
charging $1,000 second feet, is pro-
, vided for in the plans. The l50-foot
!, dam would be 500 feet long on top
, and will require Al 200 cubic yards of
masonry in its construction, and
: 5000 yards of rock and earth fill.
The site is an ideal one for dam.
1t would extend across the stream
between two high cliffs of solid
granite. Built with al upstream
curve, having radius of 500 feet,
it would be impregnable. as the
heavier the pressure behind it the
stronger the dam would be. 1t
would be based on bed rock, with its
eDuS DutliuS dSdlDst soilt EiahieS
walls, and no amount of pressure
would be sufficient to move it par
ticle.
The reservoir will be one of the
largest and best ever built in the
state and its capacity sufficient to
insure the farmers under the main
canal an abundance of water for ir-
rigation all through the crop growing
season, and would materially en-
hance the value of their farms.
These farmers at present are not sure
of late water for potatoes and
sugar beets, as they are above all the
reservoirs of the system now in use,
but with the new reservoir on the
main stream above the head of the
| ditch. filled with water at flood
time, the farms under the ditch
could draw upon the supply as their
needs might require.

Ault Farmer Missing.

F. L. Looney OF Ault, of whose
disappearance brief notice was given
in the Ault correspondence of last
week, has not yet been found by his
friends.
Looney went to the Shoshoni
homestead drawing several weeks ago
and barring the simple note telling
of his luck in drawing good num-
ber no word has been heard from him
by his family or friends, although
his brotherin-law, Fred Davis, has
been at Shoshoni looking for the
missing man. The authorities at
Shoshoni are cooperating with the
Ault people In trying to find the
man.
I.ooney was known to have had a
considerable sum of money on his
person when he went away and 1t Is
feared that he may have met with
foul play. 1t is not believed that
he has wilfully gone away as his
home life is said to have been happy
and he was prosperous farmer.
