Pinpree .Pink" Home.

A scout and trapper with Kit Car
son in the late fifties, an Indian
fighter under Col Chivington for
four years, a participant in the bat
tie of Sand creek, and 80 years old Is
G. w. Pingree. who has recently re-
turned from Wyoming to spend his
remaining years among the pioneer
people of Fort Lupton with whom he
lived 40 years ago.
At that time the Indians named
Pingree Pink" and his friends
call him that today. Pingree's wife
died lately in Wyoming and since
then he has been lonesome for the
scenes Of his early manhood, and
yesterday surprised his old neigh
bors, whom he had not seen for IS
years, by walking in on them. Pin
gree remembers every incident con-
nected with the early history of this
section and it is hard to believe that
he is more than so years old, for he
ploughs and works in the field like a
young man.

with hoe or potato fork.
While it is true that he is ad-
dicted to the riding habit it is
habit that has been forced upon him,
quite as much as it is by choice
that he employees this method. The
riding implement is in the line of
improvement that goes with scien-
tihc farming and conditions today
show that farm machinery must be
developed to much greater efficiency
and perfection il the present agricul-
tural growth of the country may
continue. Man power must be prac-
tically done away with, not because
man is not entitled to the employ
ment. but because he is too scarce in
the country.
Nothing has been more forcefully
demonstrated TO the farmers OF this
section this fall than the fact that
they are wholly unable to care for
the enormous products of the soil
with their present facilities, riding
cultiyators, potato diggers and
sorters, beet plows and other i'm
proved machinery Notwithstanding.
One of two things must be done.
Either the land must be cut up into
smaller parcels. so that man with
his family can practically take care
of his own crop, II necessary, or
greatly improved machinery must be
found. Winter seems to be upon
US, or las been threatening and
hindering work for the past month,
and still we find three quarters OF
million dollars worth of crops in
the ground. 1t is true that with
good weather most of this might
have been harvested but every farmer
knows that he could have used twice
as many men during good weather as
he was able to secure.
We must have more owners of
land and less incompetent hired
men: we must have better railroad
facilities in the rural districts to
avoid long hauls to market; we must
have more improved farm machinery
if we are not to 60 backward in sour
development. and we seem only at
the starting point in our growth now.

for the afternoon.

Forty girls have been received and

A large delegation of sisters from
LaSalle were present, bringing with
them a generous donation for the
home. The donation from Greeley
union and friends was also generous.
Any donations given by the public
will be gratefully received and ap-
preciated by the managers OF the
home. Mrs. F. f. Baker will re-
ceive all donations and forward to
the home.
This is not home for degraded
women but for the protection and

Talk Another Factory.

Whether or NOT 1t is Just talk,
there Is considerable rumor that an.
other sugar factory is to be built In
Greeley next summer. In the alb
sence of any OF the higher officials of
the Great Western Sugar company
the rumors cannot be confirmed.
1t is claimed that tract of land
on the Ed. Roslin place short dis.
tance north of the city has beep
cought by the company as a site for
the second factory. II the rumor
proves true it will mean great things
for Greeley, as an impetus almost as
great as was given by the first sugar
factory will be the result. The
acreage Of beets in the country
around here can be doubled and with
the promised better railroad facilities
can be handled without difficulty.

MAY TAP LARAMIE
Engineers Report Favorably
Large Project

The scheme for bringing water
from the Laramie river to the Poudre
is again mp and in a new form. 1t
is understood that the party of sur
veyors and explorers who have been
in the mountains to look up the pro-
ject from practical point of view
have reported favorably. The plan
Is to cut tunnel through the Medi.
cine Bow range and tap the Laramie
at point not very far from the
Wyoming line, and thus bring the
water to this side of the range. A
ditch that will carry 300 feet of
water Is to be constructed. This
will be up high enough so that it win
take in country in Weld county
about fifteen miles above the present
irrigated country.
1t Is estimated that the work will
cost in the neighborhood of 50 400.
0Oo, but it would sput land enough
under irrigation to make it worth
five times that.
The decision by the federal court
about year ago granting Bruce G.
Eaton the right to tap Sand creek.
one Of the tributaries of the Lara
mie, against the protest of the state
of Wyoming, does away with the
question OF right to the water.

DO WE WANT lT7

There appears to be an earnest at
tempt on the part Of j. d. House
man. ]. NJ. B. Petrikin and E. j.
Decker to secure system Of electric
interurban railroads for Greeley and
surrounding country, and according
to the statement Of these gentlemen
the money with which to build is
ready and all their hackers ask is
the donation of rights of way. This
would really seem small matter
compared to the convenience and
benefits of the thing. The line of
road as outlined would run in a
southwesterly direction, up through
the Thompson Valley and at point
about twenty miles southwest of here
meet with line from Fort Collins
and Loveland. Another spur from
Berthoud would also come into the
main line at this point. From here
the line would run in an almost
straight southerly direction to Dem
yer, with spur to Longmont, thus
connecting all of the northern Colo
RADIO towns of any size. except
Boulder, which at present is not in
cluded in the plan.
Another line has been surveyed
out east from Greeley into the Lone
Tree and Crow Creek countries. 1t
is planned to build this part of the
line first, and it is for this part OF
the system that the agents are now
working to secure the rights of way.
1t is estimated that it will require
about s25. 600 to buy the rights oil
way for this line and the people
mentioned are soliciting donation.
for this purpose from all the farmer
and business men interested.
The question of whether an elec
trio road connecting these cities will

been definitely settled in view of th'
experience of scores of eastern cite

officials in the places where the.
have electric roads and the repor
has always been that the lines are

Thus the only scruples the bust
ness men here have had on the elec
trio road question seems to hav
been removed and we expect som
favorable action in the near futur
from business men and farmers.
