CEMENT MAN
TALKS ABOUT THE BUSINESS
AND PROSPECTS
Man Who Started Agitation for
Better Sidewalks in Greeley
Has an Optimistic
Streak

william Hayden, cement sales
agent for the McPhee s. McGinnity
company Of Denver, was In Greeley
last Friday, and among other nota-
BILE things he did he subscribed for
the Tribune, as he put it, for educa-
tlonal purposes.
Mr.. Hayden was the man who
really started the agitation In Gree
lev for cement sidewalks-probably
because he had cement to sell.
Whatever his motive, the sidewalks
are being constructed and although
the cost, when the bill comes in.
sort of makes a fellow squirm. most
people are glad that the sidewalk
improvement has been started, and
hope the agitation will keep up until
practically the entire city has been
covered.
According to Mr.. Hayden it is
surprising how cement is coming into
use for building purposes. In Den
yer company has commenced the
construction of an eight.story hotel
at the corner of Seventeenth and
Champa streets, on the site Of the
old Gettysburg building. This hotel
will be constructed of concrete and
will be the first building of the kind
in Denver. The water company in
Denver is also building two pumping
stations in which the main material
will be concrete.
Mr.. Hayden is of the opinion
optimistic of his business-that the
irrigation companies will eventually
find it economy to use cement in the
construction of bitches and reser-
yoirs, to prevent breaks at bad places
and to prevent seepage, to large
extent.
The government is now using
cement in its bitches in the reclama-
tion service. The big canal from
the Truckee river, near Reno, Nev.,
is cement sides and bottom for a
long distance to carry the water
through sandy stretch of country.
Bearing all this in mind, it may b,
that there will be economy in the
use of cement.
Should 1t really be true that q
good deposit of this material has
been found short distance west Of
Fort Lupton, in this county, it will
certainly mean another great indus
try for Weld county. as the materia,
is coming more and more into use
According to Mr.. Hayden there will

to show that the sanitarium would
really be q benefit, not alone IN a
business way but also as sanitary
measure, as all patients would be
taught absolute cleanliness IN thelr
habits, and would be gathered at the
one spot instead Of being scattered at
various rooming and boarding houses
throughout the city.
The matter of q country club 1or
Greeley was also discussed at the
meeting and it was reported by
George M. Houston, who has the
matter in charge, that II g., Ooo more

able for club house and grounds.

amount have been subscribed since
then and the club is therefore practi-
cally assured. Option ou a fine tract

BOULEVARD RESIDENTS
MAD AS HORNETS
They Want no Park in the
Center of Streel.
Desire Street Paved as Every Other
Street Should be and Make
Parks on the Sides

The majority of the residents of
Park Boulevard are mad as hornets
and before the matter of paving that
street is settled, there can be ex-
pected some interesting debates. Ev-
|erybody on the street desires the
paving and want 1t badly, for they
have not forgotten the terrible con-
!dition the street was in during the
|greater part of the past winter.
1t is the manner in which the
work is going to be done that in
terests the residents. 1t Is said that
one or two residents on that street
want the thoroughfare contracted
with park in the center of the
street and driveway fifteen feet
wide on each side. The majority
want it paved like every other
street In the city, with thirty feet
OF good substantial brick in the
center of the street.
A prominent citizen and a heavy
property holder on the Boulevard
stated Friday that he people will
make the greatest mistake of their
lives If they ask for a park to be
built in the center of the street. 1t
leaves the street on each side tou

Music hath charms to soothe the

to quiet and convert the worthless

assertion may seem strange, but IL
was demonstrated to perfection last
night, during the concert in the Y.

Lucia May Wiant, instructress in

schools appeared.
1t was noticed at the beginning Of
the concert that two sparrows, who
had beaten the dor man by enter
ing the room through a side win
dow, were galy fitting to and fro
about the rQpm. The gay little
winged creatures kept up their
frolic until Miss. Want began re.
citing the Lost Chord. 1t seemed as
though at this period the birds were
charmed by the beautiful tender

lied that they were intruding upon

bullet in his shoulder received in
one Of the most trying engac ;ments
OF that long struggle.
When Isaac Young was fifteen
years of age his parents came to
Marion County and took up their
residence ON farm two mile
south OF the city. Three years
later Isaac came to this city to
live and learned the carpenters IS
trade. He worked for time in one
of the wagon shops where only the
crudest kind of tools were used.
Two wagon shops were all tha.
Marion boasted at that time. At
ter he had mastered his trade he
built the home where he now re
sides and was in 1852 united in
marriage to Isabelle Baker. When
ne constructed his home
now almost within a stones throw
of the heart of the business dis
trict, he had to clear enough space
for the dwelling. The woods which
extended almost TO State street
reached east as far as the Mer-
chant property.
By dint of hard work he sue
ceeded in overcoming the Difficult
ties of a course in civil engineer
ing and when the Big -Four rail
road, then called the Bellefontaine
and Indiana railroad, was PROPOSED
he helped to lay out the line and
later to build the road. The coming
of railroad to this hamlet al

marking of an epoch in the prog
