A MODEL RANCH
One is Being Developed Near
LaSalle

One OF the finest real estate hold
ings in the vicinity of LaSalle, and
one that is certainly in excellent
hands at present. is the ranch OF 3oo
acres owned by DR.. II. H. Martin OF
Denver and managed this year by
Mons Peterson. Mr.. Peterson Is an
expert fruit grower and irrigator
from the Mohave valley, Utah, and
is utilizing his skill in the improve
ment of this ranch in northern Colo
RADIO.
The residence OH the place Is
modern home built for country resi-
dence for the owner, and Is roomY
and convenient. 1t is located within
mile of LaSalle to the south and
gives promise OF being beautiful
place when the orchard and shade
trees placed by Mr.. Peterson begin
to show their growth. Five hundred
trees were set last year and three
hundred more will be placed this
year for the improvement OF the
ranch. Maple, ash and elm have
been set for shade.
Mr.. Peterson says that irrigation
is done in this section Of country
with too much waste of water: that
it Is not only a waste of a valuable
element OF productiveness at the
outset but Injuries the soil, both that
which is watered excessively and the
lower section that gets the waste
settled upon it. He says that as
much again water is used here oFdi-
narily as is needed, that with his
system he can make the same volume
of water do as much again for the
soil as the farmer does who floods
the ground.
He brought with him from Utah,
where the conserving of the water
is Of the highest Importance. a
clever device, though simple one,
as contained in a ''lay-off machine. y
This is a machine operated by two or
four horses, depending upon the
nature of the soil to be stirred and
watered, consisting of two or three
small shovels, somewhat Of the
nature of small shares. to stir up tha
roots of the alfalfa or other plant to
be irrigated, and the point followed
by a rounded turnover and packer,
making complete channel with
perfect wall that conducts the stream
Of water directly through the furrow,
with just enough seepage through
the walls to make sub-irrigation
between the furrows.
1t seems that this machine is gen.
orally used In Utah, has been intro
duced into southern Colorado, but
seems to be unknown to great ex-
tent in this part of the state. 1t
certainly looks to be fine device
and is inexpensive. 1t serves the
purpose of leveller of the soil also,
cutting of ridges and filling depres-
sions.
This ranch boasts the finest turkey
gobbler in this section, a "A pound

Nash COLLIER SHOT
G B. Beebe Tries NaFksmapship
With Bad Results

Nash Collier, bookkeeper at Sau'
born & Houston's office, was shot
through the thigh OF his right leg at
noon last Thursday by g. B. Beebe,
lust as the former was about to enter
his rooming house on Ninth street
back of Odd Fellows hall. Nc rea.
son is known for the act, but it is
supposed that Beebe was not III bis
right mind at the time. He. will
say nothing about the shooting him
self, except that he hit the young
man Just where he wanted to hit him
and that he will give his motive at
the right time. This was the state
ment he made to City Marshal
Eugene Williams. who made the ar
rest, and Sheriff B. II. Florance
when he was locked up.
Collier was going to his room and
was just stepping into the. little
entryway when Beebe, who lives in a
part Of the same house, suddenly
confronted the young man and with
out warning fred the shot. Collier
then turned and ran down the alley
to the Hotchkiss home close by,
while Beebe went back into the
house, and was just putting away his
revolver In trunk when Marshal
Williams arrived and placed him
under arrest. Collier was taken to
the Greeley hospital, and is In fair
shape to recover.
1t is said that Beebe has had
periods of mental lapses but his wife
and daughter, who have been living
here for some time. did not consider
his condition serious. He was ar.
raigned before Jutsice L. B. Will
lard Friday morning and placed
under 81, 600 bond on charge of as,
sault with intent to kill. His hear
ing will be had Monday, March %,

TWO TICKETS FILED

cred that the action of this caucus
would not hold good, as there had
never been any notices published or
posted, so some of the moving spirits
in the matter again got busy with q
petition for ticket. Shortly after
this the excitement ran into the
other Two wards and by o'clock In
the evening the tickets were COM
| plete in each ward.
Unless some Of the candidates de-
cline co run on the Independent"
ticket they will line up as follows:

TAKE LAST GAME
High School Closes Season With
Victory

By defeating Fort Morgan in this
city last Friday evening the Greeley
basket ball team s.is the undisputed
champion high school team of the
state. Every available high school
has been played without Greeley be-
ing defeated. The Cheyenne high
and the Boulder Preparatory school
we're each defeated twice.
The game Friday evening was one
sided, although Greeley was playing
without two of the regular players,
McCreery and Rankin. Brush and
Woolf filled their places. The en-
tire team did splendid work. The
first half was 16 to- 8 and the final
score 81 to 16.
The girl team met the Fort
Morgan girls the same evening but
were not as fortunate as the Greeley
boys. The Morgan girls were much
larger than the home girls which
aided materially. Captain Lois
Wright was back in the game and
her work was the feature of the con-
test. The game ended 81 to l6 for
the visitors.
Although the boys will play no
more games with high schools prac-
tice will be kept up for games with
the commercials and the annual
alumni game

A HARVEST CANTICLH.
By Theron Brown.

What is bounty but love In the giyer,
That waits for no plea to bestow,
The evergreen boon of the river
TO the fields that are blessed by its
flow?
Does the light when the morning
uncloses,
Count the leagues of It's flight on
the plain?
Does the sky call the roll Of the roses
That hold up their lips for It's
rain?
God is never at loss with his plenty,
And Nature, his handmaid. no
more
Ripens sweets for the feast of the
dainty
Than bread for the fare of the
poor.
'Tis q loan with no burden there
after,
'Tis grace never measured nor
weighed;
If the banquet turns weeping to
laughter
The debt of the eater Is paid.
o Goodness so grand in It's doing,
Are there gluttons who starve at
its board:
Craven souls. whose Unsuitable su-
ing
Has poisoned the comforts they
hoard,
Who, insane with the Joy Of receiv-
ing.
Are glad for no sake but their
own.
Who are deaf to the song OF Thanks
giving
And tongueless to utter It's toner
Give US want. give us nothingness
rather
Than this; better never be born
Than to harvest the fields Of our
Father
And leave him unthanked for the
corn.
The Just will pay measure for meas
And the selfish give love for a fee:
But they squandered an Infinite treas
Who sin against love that is free.

ARCHIE
AND THE u<
r1INCE PIE COLLINS

II there was one thing that Archie
liked more than another 1t wes
mincemeat. and If there was another
thing that he liked more than that
It was mince pies. AS soon as he
heard people talking about Thanks
giving. he knew that before long
there would be mince pie In tho
house. He even used to go out into
the kitchen when the cook was bak-
ing one SO that he could watch 1t
turn brown
Archie was rather fat little boy
and he always had a very good appe-
lite.
One year there was ThanksSiv-
ing Day coming. and. of course. Arch
ie remembered about the mince pies,
because In the house where he lived
thy did not begin to have them until
Thanksgiving. He looked all around
for somo sign that they were going
to make them and at last he saw the
cook take the cover off q large stone
jar. 1t was filled with mincemeat.
Archie did not say anything and he
sat very still while the cook was put
ting the mincemeat in the pies and
laying the crust on top OF It. Then
she put them In the oven and car
ried the Jar Of mincemeat into the
pantry. Archie saw where she put
It.
Il was Thanksgiving the next day.
Archie began to think about the
mince pie as soon as he was dressed,
and It seemed to him a long time be-
fore dinner would be ready. He look
ed into the dining room, but the
table wasn't even set. 30 he thought
he would go into the kitchen. The
cook was not there. Archie guessed
that she was in the pantry, so he
looked In there for her; but she was
not there, either. He happened to
see the stone jar that had the mince-
meat in It ana he thought he would
Just peep In to see how much there
was left. The jar was almost full
and there was spoon inside Ar
chic tasted little OF the mincemeat
and then q little more, until at last
he had eaten enough to make half a
pie. Then he put the cover back
and went out to play.
1t was a very fine dinner. There
was large turkey, OF course, some
cranberry sauce. some celery, oysters
and soup and lot of other things,
and at the end there was mince
pie and some nuts and raisins. Ar
chic had two pieces OF pie. He did
not say anything about the mince-
meat he had eaten.
Now, what do you think happened?
Archie had hardly gone to bed that
night and got himself comfortably
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1907-11-28

and they stopped to look at MIN.
The King was swelling very fast In
the fire, 10 that he began to look
like a toy balloon, and as he SWELL
ed his buttons few of and he shout
ed louder and louder. The other
gobllns danced about the fire with
cries of alarm, but none OF them
dared to 20 in and help him.
Look out! Look out" they cried.
Hes going to burstl"
At this they all scattered 20 as to
get away ia time. but they were not
quick enough. The unfortunate
King burst with n noise like can
non iirecracker on the Fourth OF
July The blazing sticks of the fire
and the COLLINS scattered In every
direction. The light was all gone In
a moment. Archie felt himself go
ing up in the mir and It was very
cold. Their he landed somewhere
with bump and he found himself
sitting on the floor beside his bed at
home.
That's what happens when people
eat too much mince pie" said his
mother who happened to come in
