An Old Timer.

G. G. Gaines of Pueblo arrived in
Greeley Wednesday OF last week for
a visit with his family who are
spending the winter here while the
daughter attends the Normal.
Mr.. Gaines is one of the pioneers
of the state, having driven across
the plains with an OK team in 1867,
before there was a railroad In Colo
RADIO. The first few years here he
drove freight team from Denver
over The Salt Lake trail to Laporte
and on to Cheyenne. Mr.. Gaines
made the rather contradictory state
ment that while he had been in
Cheyenne many times he had never
been in Wyoming. This is ex-
plained by the fact that at the time
of his last trip there Wyoming was
still part of Dakota. In coming
to Greeley over the Colorado &
Southern Mr.. Gaines rode for the
first time ON the train over the same
trait where he drove in the early
days when this was indeed the wild
and woody west aud hostile Indiana
were as plentiful as cactus.
In 1870 Mr.. Gaines drove to Evans,
then the terminus of the railroad, to
meet his parents who settled In the
southern part of the state,
Prior to coming west Mr.. Gaines,
although only boy of seventeen
years, enlisted in the Second Iowa
infantry and served two years in the
Civil war under General Weaver,
who was candidate for president on
the Populist ticket in 1892.
Mr.. Gaines has been in the postal
service twenty-six years and for
twenty years has been in charge of
one OF the departments of the post
office In Pueblo. He is spending a
weeks vacation in Greeley.

THE LAKE SKIPPER.

How He Taught Salt Water Vet
ernn to Hustle.
There was salt water captain who,
for reasons of his own, accepted a
berth as first mate in a big passenger
steamer on the great lakes. He was a
capable seafaring man, but he did not
know what hustle meant until he
went aboard at Buffalo. The lake skip
per to whom he reported for duty re-
marked in the most casual manner:
Just give her coat of paint this
morning, and, if the sun stays hot and
she dries in good shape, give her Sec
ond coat this afternoon
The salt water mate staggered in his
tracks and made amazed protest. This
was 5000 ton vessel, and giving her
two coats of paint was several days
work by his reckoning. The lake skip
per was person of discernment,
wherefore he had pity on his new mate
and forbore to deal harshly with him,
explaining with tolerant grin:
CAN right. I suppose you'll have to
learn to move lively after snoozing
around salt water all your life. You
just pass. that order along to the bos' n
and tell him it's got to be done, and
then you sit up and take notice."
The bos'n took the order calmly, as II
1t were In the days work, and by night
fall the big steamer was spick and
span with two coats of paint from her
water line to her guard rail. The sailor
from deep water had learned his first
lesson in the ways Of the great lakes
during the navigation season, when the
hard driven shipping must be forced to
do twelve months work In half a year

New Church Organized.

| Under the efficient leadership of
Rev. j. f. Findley, pastor Of the
Fort Collins Christian church, an
organization has been effected at
Severance. This has been made pos
sfble through the pioneer work of
the American Sunday School union
which has for several years been ac-
tive in Weld county. The union is
now represented by Rev. E. w.
Euge, who is making willing, faith
full effort In the various parts of the
field and has heartily co-operated
with Rev. Findley in the Severance
organization. This, thrifty little
town is quite enthusiastic over the
prospect of church and under the
spirited Peneralship of the Fort COL
Inns pastor is subscribing literally
toward the erection of three thous.
and dollar building which is now In
sight.
The Christian people of Weld
county, especially those who kindly
assist in the support OF the union S
missionary, will rejoice in the occu.
pancy OF the Severance field by a
self-supporting Christian organiza-
tion. The union gladly relinquishes
all further claims to this newly oc.
cup1ed territory but stands ever
ready to lend a helping hand when

The EARLY Trusts.

Trusts were sometimes dealt with
summarily in old England. For in
stance, the records of the Brewers
company show that ION Monday, July
30. 1922, Robert Chichele, the mayor of
London, sent for the masters and
twelve Of the most worthy of our COM
pany to appear at the guildhall for
selling dear ale. After much dispute
about the price and quantity of malt,
wherein Whityngtone, the late mayor,
declared that the brewers had ridden
into the country and forestalled the
malt. to raise its price, they were con-
victed in the penalty of EGO ($1OO),
which objecting to, the masters were
ordered to be kept in prison in the
chamberlaln's custody until they should
pay it or find security for the payment
thereof"

the rapid establishment Of prosper
Gus and growing community. With
in five years this valley should be as
we'll developed and settled as any Of
the districts on the eastern side of
the range in Colorado, or OH the
western slope. and with the develop
ment of the rich territory In Routt
county tributary to the Little Snake
River valley this district will within
ten years, in my opinion, be one OF
the most prosperous agricultural sec
tions of the country"
This is the way J. j. Armstrong
well-known Greeley resident, one
Of the original Greeley pioneers
sums up the new district, which is
being opened up through the con-
struction of the Little Snake River
canal system, which is beipfsbuilt
by the Routt County Development
company, sl4 Seventeenth street,
Denver. The district Is to be settled
under the Carey act, and the land
with perpetual water rights In the
canal system costs s25. SO pc, acre.
Mr.. Armstrong arrived in Greeley
this morning and is stopping at the
Albion hotel. H.
Mr.. Armstrong has Investigated
the Little Snake River yallev
thoroughly and is now heartily re-
commencing it to his friends here,
who wish to go into the new district
and secure land at low price and
continue the success they have made
in this prosperous country.
THE chief requisites for prosper
Gus farming,' said Mr.. Armstrong
to a Tribune representative, are, as
every farmer knows, good land,
plenty Of water and an equable clim-
ate. l will say for the water supply
that the conditions are perfect to
insure farmers much more water
than can be used throughout the sea.
son. The water in the Little Snake
river under ordinary circumstances is
sufficient to irrigate all the land.
In addition the company has reser.
voir with headwaters separate from
those OF the river proper large enough
to irrigate practically all the land
under the canal the entire SEASON
The supply of water is thus doubly
insured.
THE soil is ideal for Intensified
farming of every description. Most
OF the land is covered with an Inv.
uriant growth of sage brush, not Of
the high woody variety, but more
oushy IN form. so that the land can
be easily cleared. Other parts Of
