Blacksmith shops and small resi-

We have puhlic-spirited and gener-

Why don't you ask him to give to

Factory Stops Slicing.

The Greeley sugar factory finished
slicing beets some time during last
night. At least indications at s
O'Clock last evening we're to that
effect.
This ends the longest campaign
ever conducted by the factory here.
The factory started on Sept. ID, 1905,
but was obliged to shut down for .
few days for want of beets, inclem-
ent weather preventing the farmers
from working in their beet fields.
The factory has sliced close to
81, TOO tons of beets but it will be
some weeks yet before 1t is known
Just how much sugar will have been
made as there are great quantities OF
molasses and juice to be refined or
worked up into granulated sugar. A
part of the beets for the Greeley
factory have been shipped to Wind
sor and Fort Collins for slicing,
otherwise the total tonnage at the
Greeley factory would have been
112, 600 tons.

WALL FROM DENVER
Describes Car Shortage in the
Greeley District

Two thousand carloads of the
potatoes at Greeley remaining un-
shipped will probably spoil because
the Union Pacific railroad is not
making adequate provisions for
handling them. The merchants at
Greeley say that they are refused
refrigerator cars, and will lose much
money If the railroad company is not
made to change its tactics.
The Union Pacific is said to be
discriminating against Greeley. 1t
is using its refrigerator cars between
California and Chicago because OF
the long haul, and is said to be neg
lecting Greeley, because 1t can only
haul its potatoes to points in Kan
sas, where they are transferred to
other lines for transportation to
Texas and Oklahoma. On potatoes
the Union Pacific will have haul Of
from 800 to 500 miles, while in fruit
its haul Is from Ogden, Utah, to
Kansas City, Omaha and Chicago.
1t is estimated that fifty cars of
potatoes should be leaving the Gree
ley district every day, but the Union
Pacific is said to be handling but
three or four cars. The Greeley
farmers should have their potatoes
disposed of by the 1st of April, but
at the rate of four cars day but
very few of the $500 carloads Of
potatoes now held in the district can
be handled.
The potato dealers have been conf
planning against the Union Pacific
road for several months. Matters
seem to have grown worse instead Of
better, and the citrus fruit traffic
from California is so profitable to
the Hartman lines that they are
said to be sacrificing the potato
trade, from which the profits are not
so great as from the California ship
mentS.
The Greeley Commercial club has
taken up the matter, but thus far
it has not received much satisfaction
from the Hartman officials.

SHORT IN GERMANY
Not Enough Beet Seed to Go
Around

The Deutsche Zuckerindustrie pub
fishes Ia a recent issue circular re-
lating to the beet seed crop In Ger
many, which beet seed firm in the
province Of Saxony has sent out to
the trade. 1t Is said that the crop
of the last year has been extremely
short. The acreage devoted to the
growing of seed has been compare
lively small, partly on account of
lack Of labor and partly because the
mother beats In the silos had greatly
deteriorated owing to the mild win.
ter. The climate conditions were
very unfavora BILE also to the develop
ment Of the seed. A period OF dry
weather, which retarded the growth
of the seedlings greatly at the be-
ginning, was followed by hot and
rainy weather, which caused the
plants to develop too rapidly. The
result was that some OF the seed
fields had to be harvested in July
and August, yielding only few
quintals of seed per acre. In the
middle of September rainy season
commenced and continued for three
weeks, which had very disastrous
effect on the crop. Not only has the
seed very dark appearance, but a
great deal of the crop has shot out.
The greatest damage was caused,
however, by the falling out of a
great part of the seed, resulting in a
loss of about four quintals per acre.
The average yield of the total crop
Is estimated at only about nine quin-
tails per acre. This is the smallest
crop which has been harvested for
a number Of years, and 1t is to be
expected that shortage Of beet seed
will exist during the season of 1867,
the same as in 1993-94. The circular
advises, therefore. the manufacturers
to cover their needs for seed in time.

Bert Kittle voted against the Com
mercial club having anything to do
with the matter, while Directors
Charles Il. Southland and S. M.
Goodman voted for sending tele-
gram to the Colorado representatives
in congress urging delay in case the
mail service, especially in the west,
should be hampered by the proposed
legislation. President Petrikln cast
the deciding vote and the following
telegram was sent, under protest
from Mr.. Bartlett:
IF pending legislation will un-
favorably affect quick transportation
of mail please withhold action until
railroads can be heard. Signed,
Greeley Commercial Club"
The request for action of this kind
came from Attorney Dorsey of the
Union Pacific. 1t is claimed by the
railroads that II congress cuts down
the appropriation for carrying mail
the service will be greatly delayed
as the roads cannot afford to run the
fast mail trains at less compensation
than is received at present.
1t is proposed by congress to cut
down the annual appropriation for
the mail service by So. 500, 600. A
commission was appointed a little
over a year ago to investigate the
matter of carrying mail by the rail-
roads, and it Is upon recommends
tion of this committee that congress
is considering action.

WANT CHAUTAUQUA
Good One Planned for Greeley
Next Summer

Greeley may have chautauqua
next summer with as good talent as
any in the country. The matter is
now being considered seriously by
the officers of the Commercial club.
Last Saturday J. r. Ellison, rep
resepting the Redpath Lyceum
BurJau.of Boston, was in Greeley to
Hay fHS proposition before the bust
ness men.
Should the matter be taken up, as
it now looks as though it would be,
the meetings and entertainments
will be held in big tent to be
pitched on the vacant block known
as ''Meeker Field" and used by the
high school students as athletic
grounds.
Speakers of national fame, among
them the humorists Of congress, }.
Adam Bede of Minnesota and several
other men who have been promi-
nently before the people for several
yeas, will be here.
Besides speakers there would be
concert companies, probably big
band or orchestra, and lady speakers
and demonstrators in domestic
science for the ladies. In all the
chautauqua would last ten days ana
furnish sixty sessions.
The dates will probably be August

SALE OF
BIG DEAL IN DRY LAND
NEAR CARR
Chicago Men Buy $500 Acres
Will Irrigate or Dry Farm
the Entire Tract
This Year

A sale of land involving two town
ships, thirty-six square miles in ex-
tent, has just been made by the
Colonial Securities and Trust COM
pany of Denver to John w. Smith
and Henry Benedict, millionaire
stockmen and mine owners of Chi
cago, for s97, ,0OO.'
The land is located in the north
west part of Weld county, near the
station named Carr, and comprises
25, 600 acres. The deal was made
through John l.. Donahue, president
of the Denver company.
A small portion of this great tract
will be set aside for an experiment
farm, where the possibilities of the
Campbell system of dry farming can
be more completely demonstrated.
About half of the land is to be irri-
gated.
The land will be devoted to gen..
eral farming, cereals, principally,
being raised. Mr.. Donahue and the
firms he is interested In are great
boosters of Durum wheat and the
elevator has been planned for and
storage of this kind Of wheat solely.
This wheat is known as the Kubanka,
and has been grown in Russia for q
hundred years ON land that does not
have rainfall as great as eastern
Colorado. The wheat Is now being
shipped to Italy and Is made into
nacaIoni and then comes back to
America, the people Of this c0untry
paying the tariff going and coming.
The Phelps Donahue company Is
raising it all over eastern Colorado
and has one field of l.OOO acres where
nothing else is raised but the Dur
um wheat. ..
Last year there we're 10000, 600
bushels of this wheat raised In COM
parison with 100, 600 bushels in 1891,
when it was first brought into this
country by Mark A. Carlton, the
United States cereal expert.
Thousands of acres will be planted
in peas and barley for feeding hogs
and the raising of pork producing
animals will be conducted on an i'm
mense scale. Five years ago there
we're 500 hogs in eastern Colorado,
and it is predicted that in five more
years there will be 5000, 600.
Hog cholera is an unknown factor,
the climate is ideally adapted and
the peas and barley fed hogs are said
to be among the finest raised any
where.
After the crops of wheat have les
sened the producing power of the
soil it is the intention to sow the
land with peas, the plants serving
the same purpose as alfalfa for en-
riching the soil.
The tenants will be allowed to go
upon the land without paying cent
down for first payments. All that
they will have to do is to furnish the
machinery and the owners will look
to the crop for their compensation.
Plenty of time will be allowed in
case of crop failures, and the whole
thing will be conducted on a broad,
generous scale, bringing the owners
and tenants In close and harmonious
relations with each other at all
times.
Messrs. Smith and Benedict are
investing heavily at Goldtield as
we'll. They now have hotel cost
ing $3.50, 900 In course OF construc-
tion and are the owners OF the lam
Gus Mohawk mines.

AULT'S FIRE
SECOND TIME CITY THREAT
ENED WITH DESTRUCTION
Damage This Time Will Be
F., About $35,o 900, Only Partly
Covered by Insur-
ance

The most disastrous fire in the
history of Ault visited that place at |
midnight between Sunday and Mon
day and before it was brought under
control had destroyed close to s35, 1000
worth of buildings and merchandise,
including the complete loss of the f.
Fl. Gilcrest lumber stock.
The fire started In the Coffee &
Williams restaurant on the south
side of Main street and was famed
eastward by brisk northwest wind.
Nobody seems to know just how the
fire started, but there are strong in
dications that it was of incendiary
origin. A young man who works in
the restaurant and sleeps in back
room retired at about IL O'Clock and
was awakened an hour later by the
roaring of the flames in the same
building. He claims to know moth

The fire moved westward only one
building from the restaurant, the
two-story brick block belonging to
William Miller and occupied by
Martin Brothers with large stock
of groceries. This stock was valued
at about 81 500 and the building at
SO, 600, partly covered by insurance.
West of this building was the
Burnam Dry Goods company store,
in two story brick building. There
we're three windows next to thu
burning building but these opening
lwere filed with sacies Of -four ant
the -four kept wet, thus preventing
, fire from working farther westward.
To the east Of the restaurant
where the fire started was the Henry
Thompson building occupied b'
Cameron Brothers meat market
The building was a one-story frame
valued at about 81, 600 with contents
East of the meat market was the
r. L. Pence one-story frame build
ing, half of it occupied by the post
office and the east half by the ]. W.
Campbell grocery. The loss on this
building was also about $4,000. with
contents about that much more.
All efforts of the bucket brigade
could not keep the fire from the
lumber yard, short distance from
the last burning building, and there
was nothing but the office books
saved by the employees of the lum-
ber company.
According to o. o. Russell, man
aper of the northern Colorado yards
of this company, they had about
$40, 600 worth of stock with insurance
at about half this amount.
The other merchants had some in
surance as did also owners OF the
buildings. but in nearly all cases the
amount of insurance was only about
half the value of the property.

north side of Main street in Ault
