ladies friends from Emanuels and

that sat down to a most elaborate
five o'clock tea, and as the good
things were passed each lady
present gave a very pleasing
toast for the happiness, welfare
and good wishes. for Mrs. Hi.
mer in her new bone. The
ladies left u set of silver knives
and forks and tea spoons as a
token of their friendship and the
untiring work that Mrs. Hilmer
has done in these societies. The
Hilmer family will leave in a
short time for their new home in

Outlook for the Year
1907 Is Very Good.

Last Monday night the year of 1905
came to u close and wound up one Of the
most prosperous seasons this country
has ever experienced. The year 1907
it is firmly believed by all far seeing
people, will be one Of unparalleled pros
perity to the entire country and to this
portion of Colorado in particular OF
this portion Elbert county is bound to
reap its full share pnd one year hence
will see the population largely increased
and a great deal more land producing
excellent crops. During 1906 more land
was broken and planted to crops than in
the previous tYo years and this year viii
see this acreage largely increased as last
year hundreds Of new settlers came
into the county from Eastern states and
homesteaded or purchased land
In many respects this country has
not fully demonstrated the fun quantity
or duality OF the products that can be
produced here. As it is, we have taken
numerous prizes on our live stock. grain
and potatoes and are now receiving
much comment on our dairy products,
etc, all Of which is going to result IN
the bringing to this locality of many more
new settlers and land buyers who have
the means and inclination to make this
one of the most prosperous sections of
the state. Everything else seems to be
combining to help this condition along
and next spring will witness one of the
largest influx Of settlers this country
has ever known.
Land values have almost doubled in
the past twelve months and will continue
to 90 higher for some time to come.
Yet the price Of our land if low when
compared with some other districts
which have been better advertised and
are therefore better developed.
Regarding the growth of the town Of
Ebert, if we get a fair proportion of the
building now promised we will make
showing that viii be surprising The
town should and will be incorporated in
order 10 make many needed improve
ments which will make the appearance
and convenience Of the town more notice

that the town will never take its proper
position among the real progressive little
towns OF Colorado until this step is tax
en-. There are many things that are
bndly needed here which would prosper
under the right management, and they
Will come in time. We now have a pop
nation of more than 200 and this will
be considerably increased during the
year.
If any reader of this article residing
any place outside the Divide district is
contemplating making a change of loca-
ton he can do no better than to come
to the Ebert country and participate in
the increased prosperity that is sure to
come. Do not put it Off until later. for
if you do you will find the price Of land
has gone skyward and you can just as
well get the benefit Of this raise as to
