LOOKING UP CROPS
Man From Australia Here to
Learn Something

David NJ. Dow of Melbourne; Aus
tralia, special correspondent for a
leading morning paper of Melbourne
and chief weekly agricultural paper
of Australia, was here last week to
investigate the cultivation of crops
by irrigation. The people Of Aus
(tralia are intensely Interested in
agriculture, and In many parts, es.
pecially about Melbourne, crops must
be grown by irrigation. Mr.. Dow
represents not only his paper, but
the Australian government.
Prof. Elwood Mead, of the agricul-
tural department, recommended that
he visit the farming region about
Greeley, where irrigation was carried
on In the highest state of any place
In the world. Sunday morning, j.
M. B. Petrikin, president of the
Greeley Commercial club, took Mr..
Dow to Pleasant Valley, where he
interviewed leading potato growers
on the raising and marketing of the
crop.
Mr.. Dow said he has travelled the
world over, but never before had seen
such diversity of crops in such
high state of cultivation in so small
an area. He was not familiar with
the culture of sugar beets and be.
lieves the crop would make a good
one Tor Australia. He showed deep
interest in the history of Greeley.
The fattening of cattle for market,
the adaptability Of northern Colo
RADIO methods in farming and stock
raising and the building of bitches
and reservoirs for arid land will be
treated in Mr.. Dow's letters to Aus.
tralia.
Australia, he says, is developing
slowly. The country is as large as
the United States, with a population
less than that of New York CITY.
The idea of the government officials
Is to induce people to settle there
and engage In farming by irrigation.
FROM here Mr.. Dow will go to Idaho
and Utah to continue his inyestipa.

MUST HAVE IT.

The soliciting committee for a
building for the Empson Packing
company has been at work the past
week and so far the response from
business men has been fairly satis-
factory. 1t is, however, matter
that should not be allowed to drag
along. Promptness in this matter
will encourage other enterprises.
This is an industry that means many
thousands of dollars to the commun-
ity. 1t will give the farmers an
other great crop, that has hereto
fore been out Of the consideration.
1t will not be as great crop as the
sugar beet, because of the smaller
acreage required, but it will mean
not less than $500 acres within a
year or two, and that is as much as
the sugar beet crop amounted to In
the beginning. How much more the
canning industry may develop into
will depend largely upon the people
themselves. Should the crop prove
as profitable here as at Longmont
pea growing may become one of the
leading industries in this section.
We have the soil here, it is
claimed, to make even better crop
OF peas than at Longmont, and there
1t has been found the most satisfac.
tory crop to grow of any. So far as
We can see, the risk in putting a
little money into building for the
packing company is no greater than
putting 1t into any other business.
1t really amounts only to loan of
a little money for period under no
circumstances to exceed ten years
and at about per cent interest.
There Is not man in business here
who could not we'll afford to loan
the enterprise anywhere from 800 to
1000 according to his business and
directly make 6 per cent :.on his in,
vestment, while indirectly it would
amount to much more. The more
people interested in small way the
better.
OF course, we are going to have
that canning factory, but we will
have to hurry. Every other town ir
northern Colorado is watching Gree
ley's action in this matter, ready tt
jump in If Greeley should fail. w,
cannot afford to fail. We must hav,
1t to hold up our honors and prestig,
in northern Colorado.

WHICH IS SINCERE,

Three different companies are now
competing for the construction of
an electric railway between Greeley
and Denver. More correctly, per-
haps, three companies are trying to
,aise the wind upon which to build
the line. One of these companies is
undoubtedly sincere in its desire to
give Greeley better railroad facili-
ties. Perhaps they are all sincere.
We have not the means of knowing
their standing, outside of what some
of the local men connected with one
or another Of the companies tell us.
There is, however, the same peculiar
coincidence in connection with the
local electric railway situation that
has been observed wherever such a
line has been proposed in competi-
tion with an old established steam
road. As soon as one company is
organized and begins to look formid-
able others spring up like mush-
rooms In the same territory. all hol-
lering for franchises. rights Of way
or something else to draw attention
from others to itself.
A few years ago when the electric
railway question first came up here
there were no less than three COM
panies seeking privileges within a
month or two after the first one had

MEMORIES
OF A PIONEER


we arrived In Greeley, coming 2, 100
miles by the Baltimore s. Ohio, the
Indiana & Cincinnati, the c. B. &
Q. and the Burlington & Missouri
railroads. Our destination was a
place known in those Gays as Green
City. Four fares to Evans cost US
81. 20 and 100 pounds of extra baggage
So. We stopped at Ed. Lewis hotel.
He RECALLED us on buffalo and antelope
meats. vegetables and the usual &C.
cessories. West of the hotel about
900 feet was Fritz Niemeyer's brew
cry and saloon. 1t was a large
building Of wood and say fifty feet
long and thirty feet wide Of one
story. About 800 feet north stood
the mill. Capt. Kramm was the
superintendent. 1t was three stories
on the uphill or west side and four
stories on the east side.
Across the Denver Pacific track
! eastward from the mill about 1000
feet was the Geary house, quite a
pretentious building, two stories
high and about seventy feet wide.
Dan Wise had general merchandise
store in this house. The county
buildings occupied block about 400
feet north and west of the Geary
house, for Evans was then county
seat of Weld county. Platt Rogers
had law Office on the corner Of
the Geary house block and across the
street north of it. John Behrens
was then a carpenter in Evans. DR.
Annis had an office east of Rogers
office. Mr.. Devol's father-in-law
was then blacksmith on the corner
east Of the Lewis hotel and across
the street and southeast of him was
Cornforth's store.
There were no bridges over the
Platte river here except the Denver
Pacific bridge, which was where 1t
now is.
Geo. H. Young owned small
hardware store south of the Geary
house. John Robinson had few
acres south of Evans and the Platte
river and Peter and Samuel Huff
smiths father with his family were
farming eighty acres north of Robin
sons. Adjoining him on the east
, was John Ploughead, a fine old man
with ideas. Half a mile up the
Platte John Wetstover had an eighty,
Half mile further up was 16O acres
belonging to VIM. Godfrey, or '''Old
, Man Wicked' as he was called be-
, cause of the great fight he and Perk-
ins made at American ranch in the
sixties. North Of him was his son,
, Allen, generous and noble man.
West of Alps was Jake Dunbar.
Away over on the Big Bend was
Marshall Cook.

CONGRESS CONSIDERING
IMMIGRATION BILL

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The house
soon after converting today began the
consideration of the conference re
port upon the immigration bill, which
was agreed to by the senate Saturday.
After the reading of the report Bur.
nett of Alabama made a point of or
der against h first provision, which
undertakes to regulate the incoming
of Japanese coolies by giving the Pre-
authority to refuse to recog
nize their passports, and also against
the whole of section AZ, having rela-
ton to air space in vessels bringing
immigrants to the United States. The
speaker decided against the point and
Burnett appealed. The chair was sup
ported, 1876 to 104.
