A NEW BOOK
CITY DIRECTORY IN PROCESS
OF MAKING
Great Number of Changes Shown
by Test of Matter In
the Past Two
Years

Three canvassers have been at
work ON the Tribune 1907 directory
for Greeley the past week, and al
ready the progress made shows a
large increase in population, besides
a remarkably large number Of
changes of residence. The man who
has any use for directory must buy
one each year to reap any benefit
from the book at all.
Without actually testing the mat
ter nobody has any idea Of the num-
ber of changes in residence from one
year to another. To discover just
how the changes ran sample page,
taken at random by choosing the first
page at which the book opened, o
comparison was made between the
1905 and 1906 books. The page had
30 leading names, and the 1905 book
showed Al changes from the other.
That is, removals and new names
that would come In on that page in
the alphabetical order. So there IS
only one value that a year.old book
has; to refer back to for names oil
persons that at one time resided at a
certain number. For this reason 1t
is we'll to keep the old books on file,
even though merchant buys q new
one each year.
The canvassers are having the
usual number of amusing little Incl
dents in connection with the canvass
and census. In most cases they are
mistaken for book agents or some
thing equally bad, but when they
have finally convinced the inmates
of home that absolutely no charge
will be made for having their names
printed in the book. and that they
are not agents from the county asses
sor's office, fortune tellers or charity
workers. the doors are usually opened
cordislly enough TO them and all
necessary information cf1eerfully
given.
The corps Of canvasssrs 10 one Of
unusual efficiency this year, and the
new book bids fair to be the most
accurate ever issued in Greeley.
The advance sale of books also in
dicate that much larger edition
than usual will be required to FIJI
the demand.

SELLS LARGE TRACT
Asa Sterling Disposes of Box
Elder Land

Asa Sterling last week sold $500
acres of his land in the Box Elder
valley to C. A. Peterson Of Chicago
for $500. 900. The deal includes one
fifth Of the water in the Latham
reservoir and ditch, this part of the
deal being valued at about 800, 900
in itself.
The deal was made through the
Arbuckle & Purcell Land company

curities company of Denver.

the Svea Colony company of Chicago
and 1t is the intention to cut the
land up into forty acre tracts and to

The bringing of large colony of
Scandinavians to that section will
mean considerable prosperity to Ker-
sey and incidentally, to all of Weld
county.

Field Superintendent Fl. Timothy,

CHINESE ARE THICK,

Chinese are as thick in Juarez to. day as are bees In a swarm, says the Herald of Fl Paso.
 Seventy Chinamen arrived in the little city across the Rio Grande or the Mexican Central last night and today they have been wandering about town. When the United States immi grafton inspectors got wise to the ar. rival of the Chinese they made hur. r3ed investigation and learned that the Celestials were enrouUe to Casas Grandes, that they expected to leave for that place over the Sierra Madre road today or tomorrow. The China men are looking for railroad construc, ton work ani are said to have been engaged for several months in that line of work in the interior of Mexico.
 All the Chinsmen in the party did not approach even close to the river, but remained up town. Nearly all of them seem to be in prosperous con- dition, having good clothes and some money. As long as the Chinamen re main in Juarez the immigrations off cers will keep watch on them, as some of them may take a notion to smuggie themselves into this country.

5000 MEN ON
 5. P. GRADING

| DOUGLAS, May 24-(Special. )-
 Three thousand men are now working in the canyon south of Naco zari on the Southern Pacific construc tion," said Judge D. A. Richardson who has just returned from trip to Moctezuma.
 Two or three weeks ago the Inter national-American made the state ment that within month that mum. Der of men would be engaged in the construction work What Judge Rich ardson has seen confirms that state ment.
 The construction camps stretch from one end of the canyon to the other. Where. three weeks ago, but one camp, and a rather small one at that, had been established. now there are a dozen or more. In each of these are several hundred laborers working under foremen, one for each camp. The canyon is being attacked at many different points, each of the gangs having it's starting and objective point. The work will be driven through as fast as it is possible for steam drills and other machinery, directed by ex, perts, and laborers and mules to cut down the mountain sides, fill in the cuts and clear the way of debris.
 ''The stage drive from Nacozari to MocteZuma is now replete with in. terest. Heretofore for many miles a monotonous continuation of a wild canyon, with the stage crossing the river every few hundred feet, railroad work now affords the traveller diversion all the way from Nacozari to the end of the canyon. Every half mile or so one encounters red fiag out in the roadway. The red flag means danger in Mexico as does it in this country and should one be so reckless, not to say foolhardy, as to pass that flag he is apt to find himself buried under the side of a mountain.
 The Southern Pacific is not bluff ing south of Nacozari. Labor of three thousand men and hay for hundreds of horses and mules come too high for bluff game, even for Hartman and for such a stake"
 Judge Richardson paints the most roseate picture of conditions about Moctezuma.
 q have never witnessed quite so much activity in that section as on this trip" he said this morning. "On the road between Moctezuma and Cumpas We passed caravan after cara van of supplies. One was encountered every few minutes either going or coming. The shelter at Cumpas is running all the time right up to its capacity. The hills are full of pros pectors and business generally seems at high tide"

.JEWtlRY THIEF
 IN THE TOLLS
After Stealing $3000 Worth of Jewels Is Captured By
 Special Officer

CANANEA. Mex, May 24.-The first burglary recon ded in the city in many months occurred on Sunday night of last week. when after rifiing the show cases in the jewelry store of Monnin brothers. Ramon Vasquez. a recent ar. rival from San Francesca. attempted of Colonel and Mrs. w. c. Greene and came to grief.
 Emboldened by his success at the Monnin store. the isolation of which enabled the thief to carry on his op. erations in comparative safety. Vas quez went to the Greene residence and boldly walking onto the veranda at tempted the use of skeleton keys to open the front door. He had hardly inserted a key, however, before he found himsei. looking down the mug gle of a gun held by Special Policeman W. D. Allison, who had seen the man enter the Greene grounds and fol lowed him up.
 Vasquez promptly surrendered to the officer, who sent him to the city jail. On the prisoners person were found diamonds, watches and other jewelry to the value of $3000 which had been taken from the Monnin store and were later identified by the propri- etors. The latter have been returned their goods. FssQuez has had prelim- mary hearing and now awaits final hearing and sentence for his offense. A severe penitentiary term will doubt less be given nim. Papers on his per son determine that he came here from San Francisco, where he will probably be wanted later for offenses. his appearance and outfit warranting belief that he bos criminal record.

Causes of the Gigantic cratsrs anA
 Great Fissure Eruptioas.
 It is evident to any one who glances upward at the moon that its volcanoes are on an immensely larger scale than those which stud our globe. One ex- plantation. now abandoned. is that the force of gravltatlon being there only one-slxth that of the earth the matter expelled from crater would be spread far more widely. and explosions would be generally on a far more magnificent scale. Professor Pickering quotes this theory only to refute 1t in some com parisons which he made between the great volcanic region of Hawaii and one of the smaller craters of the moon The facts seem to him to be that the larger craters on the moon came into existence when the thin, solid crust covering the molten interior was. Ow- ing to the qualification and contraction of the crust, much too small to contain the liquid material. The craters were therefore formed by the lava bursting through the crust and so relieving the pressure. Later, after this relief had been found and the crust had thicken- cd. the Interior regions by cooling shrank away from the solid shell which was now too large and. being insufhciently supported. caved in. per hitting the great Assure eruptions which produced the so called lunar seas. These extensive outfiows of lava dissolved the original solid shell when ever they came into contact with it. much as they do in the present day. in Hawaii. Had the moon been much smaller these eruptions might not have occurred at all, and if the moon had been much larger their relative size would have been greater. Most proba- ply on the earth similar outbursts were greater, and our original gigantic era ters were destroyed by the outflow of the earlier archaic rocks which com pletely submerged and dissolved them.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Mystery sur. rounds a visit made by Joseph G. Can non, speaker of the house of repre-, sentatives, to the offices of the Amer ican Protective Tariff League, usually known as the Citadel" of the tariff stand-patters.
 Taken in connection with the visit last week to the leagues headquarters of Vice President Fairbanks, Senator Foraker and other leading politicians the differences are that an aggressive even if under-the-surface campaign, is to be waged against the candidacy oi Secretary Taft as the presidential nominee of the Republican party next year. In fact, the conference held to day. as well as those preceding, are understood to be along lines directly in antagonism to the Washington ad. ministration.
