THE REAL DEVELOPMENT.

Greeley has had an unprecedented
building boom the past six months,
especially in business property and
real estate values have gone soar
ing. The most encouraging feature
of this is that all Of the buildings
now under construction have been
rented even before the foundations
were laid. This more than anything
else shows that there is an actual
demand for more business houses.
Not one of them is being built upon
speculation, in the real sense of that
word
But encouraging as these signs are
for the future Of Greeley, there Is
development going on in this district
that is adding much more to the
value of the country here than the
building OF a dozen two or three
story blocks in the city. 1t is the
gradual and fairly rapid reclamation
of the raw land surrounding the old
irrigated district.
There is hardly week that passes
that there are not anywhere from one
to half dozen filings of maps on
small reservoirs and large or small
irrIgating bitches. There are just
scores of little seepage or other small
private bitches being built or in con-
temptation, each one of which means
from quarter-section to thousands
of acres that will be reclaimed.
This is rapidly adding to the total
valuation of the county.
To the north of the present irri-
gated section great developments are
in progress that will eventually add
another 5000 or 100, 600 acres to the
irrigated area. That will also
come near ending the development in
that section. There are few more
big projects of a storage nature that
will be eventually developed In other
parts of Weld county, or at least for
the benefit of lands in Weld county.
When these become realities and
every acre of raw land for which
water can be found have been
brought under irrigation then the

OFFICER McEvOY TO RESIGN.
To Accept Position With the He'll
 mann Brewing Co.

E. B. McEvoy. for the past five years a member of the police force, has signed his resignation to be pre- sented at the next meeting of the board of safety, to accept a position as salesman for the Hellmann Brew ng company, succeeding George Rob arts who is compelled because of ill health to take a much needed rest. MT McEvoy made an efficient officer and his name with several other was mentioned as having good chance of being the next sergeant of the de- partment. His resignation will go into effect next Sunday and he will assume his new duties on the first of April.
 George Robarts has been connect ed with the Hellmann concern for the past twelve years and his many friends will hear with regret that he has finally come to the conclusion to give up the position. For many months past his health has been any thing but good and although he has endeavored to attend to his work he finds it too much of a strain. conse- quently he has decided to discontinue active work for a time.

SHRINKING TIME
March Winds Throwing Dust in
 All Directions.


 The board of public works should hurry up and get that sprinkling cart out and let people have the ben eft of 1t while the dust is flying and people have to take it in mouthfuls. Some want to know now if owners of property who will be assessed for sprinkling without even being asked if they want 1t, will charge any of this expense to the tenants. Two property owners had an exchange of opinion of the question to-day. one taking the ground that tenants would kick if they had to help out on sprinkling and the other contend ing that he didn't see why it was not for the benefit of the tenant as we'll as the landlord. Tenants" he said, don't like dust aVy more than own CTS of houses do, and if this and other things are to be met I see no reason why everybody benefited should not pay little towards de- fraying the added expense to land lords, none of whom bargained to sprinkle the street in front of their houses. Everything in the way of public improvement which all share in common should be paid for by the tenant as we'll as the landlord. People had a chance to figure on water and repairs, but here is some thing new and that will be well comed by all. Why. then, should a few be expected to carry the entire burden of the expense?"
 The spokesman for the tenant didn't take kindly to this sort of logic and dismissed the subject with a remark to the effect that there ought to be a limit to what owners of buildings should expect from peo pie who rent houses, but one would not think so by the way some talk. But pay or no pay, it's high time that little water was tossed over the streets and the sooner the powers that be get to it the better the com munity will like it. The service can not come too soon now. The dust is here and so long as this is so it does not make any difference whether it is March or May.
 In some places people are cited in to be heard on the matter of street sprinkling, but as Waterbury is gov erned at Hartford the officials have been spared the trouble of inquring what the man who will have to settle has to say on the question. It is none of his business. All he has to do is call at the captains office and plank down the coin; somebody else will do the rest.

SATURDAY NIGHTBANK
Burglary at Miller & Peck's
 Caused Action 10 Be Taken.

At meeting of the directors of the Manufacturers bank this morning 1t was decided to keep the bank open on Saturday evening from SEQ until Q o'clock, during which time sealed packages from customers of the bank will be received and kept in the vaults until the following Monday morning The action was taken as the result of the burglarizing of Miller X Peck's store on last Sunday morning. If the plan is found to he a success and it is shown that there is q demand for the same. it win probably be de- cided to continue to keep open dur ing the same time every Saturday evening.
 During the past year there has been much discussion about night bank in this city and although business men have talked the matter over to some extent. it is not likely that the banks would have taken any action had not the burglary of Sunday morning taken place.
 X. F.. Lord. cashier of the Manu- facturers' bank when asked this af- ternoon if the bank was likely to keep open for short time every Saturday night in the near future, said he did not know.
 The reason why the directors con cluded to receive sealed packages next Saturday night. is because the clothiers will on that day take in an immense amount of money and the owners as well as the proprietors of other stores might wish ro place the proceeds of the days business in the vaults for safe keeping The direc- tors did not discuss the adyisability of keeping open after Saturday night. hut may do so at the meeting next Tuesday. provided they think it Is necessary.

he means always to limit 1t the words
of his little daughter ring in his ears,
and he reflects that some Of his con

did on a memora BILE occasion. The oc-

Thanksgiving day. She went to church
with her mother and sat quietly
through the service. The sermon was
unusually good. the minister could not
help thinking. He had plenty to say.
and he said it fluently.
How did you like my sermon?' he

Mourning is not what it used to

expect to see 1t go out altogether in
the next century or SO. Perhaps k is
just as well. No young widow. I've
heard say. can wear mourning without
looking like an adventuress. But In
the seventeenth century widows not
only wore mourning but their bed
curtains were black. and the sheets
and pillowcases had a black edging.
like stationery. Even their lingerie
had mourning band. In Italy the
mobiles of the renaissance carried their
mourning as far as their knives and
forks, which had ebony instead OF
ivory handles. Gray cloth superseded
black for mourning in the eighteenth
century. The fashion lasted about
twenty years. Then it died out. as it
had sprung up, mysteriously." Los

IHE DRAGON FLY.
Before Taking to the Air It Lives In
the Water,

The dra gOn fly lives in the water dur
ing one stage OF its life and in the air
during another. The eggs are laid on
the leaves of water plants. When the
Iarva Of a dragon fly appears it is a
very queer creature indeed. In the
first place. it wears a mask. which
conceals its mandibles. or jaws. and
when it sees anything that it would
like to capture for its dinner II sud
denly unfolds this mask and throws it
forward. 1t has two sharp claws that
instantly seize the prey.
1t also draws in and sends forth wa
ter. moving in this way. and taking in
the air In the water for breathing pur-
poses. For nearly a year it lives In
the water world. Then on some fine
May or June day 1t climbs up the stem
of some tall water plant that rises
above the surface and in about two
hours throws off the old ugly body and
darts away-an inha hitant Of the air
world for the rest of its life-on four
gossamer wings. glittering with many
beautiful colors like those of shining
silver and bronze.
1t flies as swiftly as a swallow and
has a long. slender body and large
eyes. cut with many sides like dia-
mond. and on q sunshiny day you may
see many of them catching their prey
On the wing. If you should put 1t back
into the water world Of its childhood
it would die.
