as follow:
The Holly chieftain., 1907-12-06

just nineteen years ago this
summer the leading citizens of
Holly assembled in the council
chambers when they heard it
noised about town that a man
was here seeking an opportunity
for an investment in a water and
lighting system. They were will
ing that their servants, the trus-
tees, should give him anything
he wanted that the town had to
give, provided he would lay the
pipes and keep them filled with
Water of high standard of ex-
cellence. The struggle was long
one, small panic having struck
the country, making it inconven-
lent to get money enough to
bring the promoter from Texas
to Holly, the anti-pass law having
been effective for over two years,
making it absolutely obligatory
that he pay real cash-no scrip
or cashiers checks-for railroad
and Pullman fare. However ar
rangements were finally complet-
cd and the present-day citizens
are reaping the benefits of the
foresight of the earlier admins
trations, which tried so hard to
get capital interested in this en-
terprise. While the company
formed by Mr.. Graham, and in
which he is the chief stockhold-
er, has made enormous profits
tl,erefrom, due largely to the won
derful increase in population of
the town since it was made more
desirable as residence point
than any other town in the val
ley, all the users are more than
pleased with the treatment re-
ceiycd and when the franchise
expires, some six years hence, ii
is unlikely that any but the So
cialist vote will be against the ex-
tension, and that is in the minor
ity, as most of our people have
homes and plenty, thus having no
desire to see the ideas of that par
ty in vogue.
Joseph S. McMurtry has just
pulled thru severe injury due to
an auto accident in which his new
$4,000 car, the finest in the Ar
kansas valley, was totally wreck
ed and two of the occupants kill
ed. This reminds The Chieftain
that nineteen years ago Mr.. Nc
Murtry, better known as Joe. in
those days, was recognized as a
novice with the auto, but he had
the fever" and it wasn't long un-
til he was the proud possessor of
the fastest of machines. He was
then cashier of the First National
bank and recognized as the
shrewdest and squarest banker in
eastern Colorado, and those who
knew him then feel that he has
since fully proven all that was
thought OF him then, He is to-
day president Of seven Of the
banks which are controlled by the
First National of Holly and all
the 6nanciers Of the present day
are constantly seeking consulta-
ton with him regarding the best
policies to pursue.
At that time there was much a
do made over what was considered
breach in etiquet when a man
who was over popular persisted in
running a third time for the same
office, But Mr. McMurtry couldn't
get away from the people-they
Just would run him for mayor
every year until about ten years
ago, when he refused to longer fill
public positions of responsibility,
feeling that he had done his share
for the people,
