Highlandlake and Mead.

Much has been said both by news
papers and people about the removal
Of the Highlandlake post office to
Mead, even going SO far as to have
that office already established In the
new town. Now the fact is the post
office at the lake is still in working
order and not making any prepara-
tions towards moving. Mead does
not want secondhand post Office
but bran new one, with all the
shine and glitter Of newly minted
coin. Highlandlake and Mead are
not rivals in any respect and never
can be, owing to the different at
mosphere of the two places. High
landlake is quite unpretentious,
somewhat conservative, justly proud
of its buena vista and possibly too
much inclined to feeling called, by
some, aristocratic. But why not, so
long as the first farmers of this part
lof Colorado are still living there2
II wi9l sccnEinuss tn be the 'E.ake
4 Drive or boulevard and very prob
ably the site for the mansions of the
lti-millIonaires of Mead.
On the other hand Mead is busy,
energetic town with larger ambf-
tions: in fact, she and Denver are
close rivals. True, she has no build
ings over ten stories high and COM
paratively few under two. There is
no doubt in the minds of the most
sanguine that before many years roll
by Mead will be the capitol of Colo
RADIO. Her arms are open to welcome
the moving van of state house, mint,
ETC., then Denver will become a
suburb of Mead. Certainly WHO can
deny that this bustling town has q
glorious future before her?

Gets Big order.

Charles Mott of the Hart Parr en-
gine company of Charles City, Ia,
was in Greeley last Saturday trying
to make arrangements for ware
house. here to make Greeley a distri-
buting point for the engines in Colo
RADIO. Tho company manufactures q
kerosene traction engine that works
on something the same principle as
gaosline engine. One has been In
use In the country near Num-, break
ing up raw prairie for fall wheat.
Mr.. Mott reports that his company
has just received an order from
Argentine Republic in South
America for s40O, 600 worth Of thresh-
ing and traction engines, and they
have been obliged to double the
capacity of their factory to meet the
order.
A special engine is being manu-
factured for use In the high and dry
sltitude of Colorado.

Behind Speaker Breckenridge and
his bill will be the concerted tnfiu-
ence Of the temperance societies, the
governor and many of the organfza-
tions engaged in altruistic work.
On the defensive will be the brewers
and liquor dealers, whose interests
will be guarded by Senator Fred
Parks, their paid attorney, who was
instrumental four years ago in de-
feating local option bill introduced
by Sam Belford, at that time q
member of the house from Arapahoe,
and Silas Frank of Mineral county.
That few obstacles shall be placed
in the way Of good temperance
legislation, the bill is to be consid-
cred in committee devoted to tenn
perance affairs, and will not, as
heretofore, become part Of the busi-
ness of the committee Of medical
affairs and public health. The
promise to the people by the republic
can platform obligates the legislature
to indorse a stringent temperance
measure, and while the bill will ap-
ply to t owns of rs, 600 or less, the
greatest opposition to be brought
against the Breckenridge measure
will come from Denver and Pueblo.

LOCAL OPTION LAW
One Will be Passed by Legisla-
ture Soon

The temperance question mas
reached the stage in every state
where it refuses to back up and be
hitched, and where heretofore the
advocates of local option in the Colo
RADIO legislature have introduced
their bills and gone down to glorious
defeat, this session the result, it is
claimed, is to be quite the other
way.
The sentiment is gaining ground
that business that has to have
thrown about it all the restraints
and projections of the law is bust
ness not respectable enough to exist
unrestruned in a civilized COM
munity and is making it necessary
for the men behind the bung and vat
60 slow.
Among the bills to be introduced
in the house is one which Speaker
Breckenridge will father, providing
for stringent local option law.
Coming from Monte Vista, a town
founded on a charter that provides
for the forfeiture of property If liq-
nor should be sold thereon, the same
ruling applying to Greeley, where
the colonists who settled on the
sapebrush with N. G. Meeker took
precautions to hedge themselves of
from danger which follows in the
wake of that thing that men put
into their mouths to steal their
brains away" Mr.. Breckenridge
POUNDS his demands on fact and not
theoretical dreams.

NEW STORIES
TRIBUNE ADOPTS NEW PLAN
TO INTEREST READERS
Arrangements Made for Ten of
Frank h. Spearman's Thrill
ing Stories-First One
This Week

The adventures of the men who
help to annihilate time and space,
the men who run the fast trains.
who hold the lives of hundreds in
their hand as it were, and who only
too often, of late, hurl themselves
and their cargo of humanity to in
stant death through somebody's
blunder-the adventures of these
men an dtheir hair.breadth escapes
always make good reading. In view
of the long winter evenings ahead
and with desire to please its
readers, the Tribune has collected
ten Of the best railroad stories, and
will print one every week as long as
they last. Many of these stories
have local flavor, and the reader
does not have to be very wise to
recognize the Burlington, the Union
Pacific and the Rio Grande roads
through the thinly disguised names
of persons and places.
The first of these stories, entitled,
Sankey's Double Header" appears
today. 1t is by Frank Spearman,
that prince of railroad story writers,
and describes collision In a snow
drift when "the great rams of steel
and fire had done their work and
dashed at each other, frenzied acros!
the Blackwood Gorge Ant
.Sankey-so the Conductors tell thu
/ lchildren, travelling east or travelling
Iwest 4Sxnkey isn't running an
more.''
Next week we will print anothe
story by the same author, entitled
"Siclone Clark The mystery of ;
cowboy who turned engineer. Wher
the strike came on he knocked ur
the man who took his place SO badly
he had to 60 to the hospital. When
the hospital burned Siclone saved
the injured man and disappeared in
the flames, but never trace OF
human being was found in the ashes
although they were sifted.
Each story is complete in one Is
sue.
We would like to know how our
readers like these stories. If they
suit YOU. don't be afraid to say so,
to some member OF the Tribune
office; if you don't like them, don't
be afraid to say so, either You
might telephone your opinion to us,

The Greeley beet growers have

BUSTED BOOM
ONE WAS STARTED IN SOUTH
EASTERN WELD COUNTY
Substantial Land and Irrigation
Boom Now Started in Same
Country-Keene to be
Built up

An era of more or less remarkable
development is just opening for the
southeastern part Of Weld county.
That country has up to the present
time come as near being wild and
virgin rs any part of Colorado, but
now Denver and eastern syndicate
has been buying up good deal Of
the land and is going to develop
water for it BY system of storage
reservoirs.
The Keene Improvement company
has recently been organized by Gree
ley men to improve the little town
of Keene on the Burlington railroad.
The incorporators are ]. A. Ar
buckle, ]. j. Purcell and Paul Pur-
cell. Several store buildings have
already been arranged for and the
Burlington is building . new, two
story depot there. This Is the first
important station on the Burlington
after leaving Denver, and it ia an
all-day station.
The boom In real estate in that
section is somewhat different, Al
though it brings to mind boom
that was started near there some
thing over year ago, when num-
Der Of people went nearly wild with
suppressed excitement over the dis.
covery OF two big veins Of coal, one
fifteen feet thick and another down
8 little deeper eighteen fest thick.
Greeley, Fort Morgan and Denver
parties secretly organized stock COM
panies and secured options on good
deal Of land. The Burlington, also
secretly, had spur surveyed to the
new coal fields that we're going to
eclipse anything else in that line in
the state. Several shafts were sunk
to the first vein Of coal, and that
was found to be rotten and unfit for
fuel. They dug away until the
second vein was cut and this was
found to be of the same quality.
Then the whole boom busted in one
day.
At the time, however, the excite
ment was so great that men were
daily risking their lives to be the
first to discover good coal. A couple
of Greeley men who went over there
and staked out claim on govern
ment land found couple OF fellows
digging away In hole of clay. The
hole was only about three feet in
diameter at the top and tapered
slightly toward the bottom. When
the Greeley men looked into the
place it was over a hundred feet deep
and man. apparently not bigger
than a mouse, was digging away
down at the bottom while his com
panion at the top was hoisting up
the dirt with a hand windlass.
There was not sign of curbing of
any kind and the gases issuing from
the hole were offensive even to the
men above. The man at the bottom
could work only a short time before
he would have to be raised to the
surface for breathing spell, and
then his partner would take turn
at the digging. They were the first
to prove that the coal deposit was

IS RELIEVED
Railroads Now Have Plenty Of
Cars In State

+ According to the Denver Post the
car famine In Colorado has been re-
lieved. The railroads report that
they are In excellent condition and
have sufficient cars for every kind OF
shipment, with the exception of cars
for potatoes from the Greeley dis
trict, where spasmodic shortages, due
to sudden heavy orders for potatoes,
will occur for some time. AT pres
ent even the Greeley district is get
ting all the cars it wants.
The Colorado s. Southern alone is
furnishing more than 600 cars day
for coal shipments, and the other
roads are doing comparatively as
we'll. The situation is brighter
than it has been for four months,
and the Colorado railroad officials
are beginning to sleep better OF
nights.
The car famine in Colorado, which
was not as serious as In other states,
was caused by the heavy shipments
Of fruit, grain, vegetables and live
stock last autumn. The shipments
were greater than ever before.
The rush had hardly opened when
the coal mines doubled their output
of coal, creating a new demand fo1
cars. The railroads were then un-
able to handle all the shipments
offered them.
This condition has remained al
most unaltered until the present
time. Now the railroads In this
state say they are prepared to handle
all shipments offered, with the ex-
ception Of the potato crop.
AT times there is shortage OF
cars in the Greeley district for pota-
toes. This occurs when large guam
titles have been sold on short notice.
When the potatoes are shipped to
points on the lines of railroads oper-
ating from Greeley there is no delay
In getting cars, but when the ship
ments are destined to points beyond
those lines it is almost impossible to
obtain transportation facilities.
The reason is that when car be-
longing to one railroad gets on the
tracks of another, that line will not
permit 1t to be returned when
empty, but will use it itself, and the
owner Of the car may not see it for a
year.

Killed While Hunting.

Lon Dietrich, a farm hand on the
j. M. Schultz ranch near Johnstown,
accidentally shot and killed himself
while out hunting last Sunday after
noon. He started out just after
dinner for hunt along the Thomp-
son river and when he did not return
at night searching party was sent
out. They found him Monday morn
ing lying In pool of blood and had
been dead for some time. 1t is not
known how he came to shoot him
self, bout it is not believed that the
deed was premeditated.
Coroner Macy went over there
Monday to look into the case. He
reports the man killed with a 22-cal-
iber rifle, evidently by accident.
