COUNTRY TO NORTHEAST OF
GREELEY PROSPEROUS
Some Shifting About by the
People Hoping to Do Still
Better for Them
selves

seven and half miles southwest OF
Greeley.
A. J. Bradley, who was at one
time a printer on the Tribune force,
will try his fortunes in the Scott's
Bluff country. He will rent farm
three and half miles from town and
hopes to secure a place of his own
as soon as he informs himself little
more thoroughly in regard to condi-
tions there. Mr.. Bardley is very
enthusiastic about the country, be-
| lieving it to be second Greeley
neighborhood In its Possibilities.
He dislikes to leave this section of
country, as it has been his home all
his life. He was the second child
born in the neighborhood but is
very optimistic about the chances of
the new section of country for the
man with limited capital.
| w. D. Hilton is making some i'm
provements on the dwelling on his
place, increasing the room.
The reporter found John Cornell
busy at his farm work. MIR. Cornell
has been In the Country since 1879
and has fine piece Of property to
show for his management OF affairs.
In addition to his farm Mr.. Cornell
has possession that is the envy of
every caller of sportsman spirit,
namely pack of seven blooded
hounds,- which are taken out occa-
sionally for run after coyotes.
Frank Pollock, on this route, will
move to Greeley and locate on Four
teenth street. Arthur Butler and
Elmer Harper, who are already To-
Gated on the place to be vacated, five
and half miles east of Lucerne,
are the tenants for the coming sea-
son.
Frank Bailey, who has been farm
ing on West Fifth street, and James
9. Meek will farm the Montgomery
place this year. The families are
just moving into the cottage which
has been completed this winter.
They have full new set of build
ings and will be comfortably settled.
The Schick ranch is one Of the
most convenient in equipment Of any
In this section of country. The
dwelling on the place has been re-
modelled and improved, convenient
COW barn 4Ox60 with floored stalls
and well-built bins has just been
completed. A bunk house, also a
tank house and modern system of
water pressure with piping to all the
buildings will be completed this
spring. Cement walks will be laid
] and altogether when completed the
set of buildings will have city and
rural advantages combined. The
most charming thing about the
ranch, however, is the pervading
spirit Of cordiality. Though Chicago
people, out here primarily to look
after property interests and to enjoy
the tonic climate, Mr.. and Mrs.
Schick have the true western in
stinct of generous hospitality.
The G. Fl. Heighton ranch has re.
Gently been improved by a COM
modious and convenient cottage
Other farm buildings are in keeping
aud the latest improvement is a 100
barrel cistern for storage and emerg.
ency purposes. They have soft
water we'll which will be deepened
to strengthen the water supply for
the place. Altogether the property
makes very desirable place for resi-
dence. The family came to this
neighborhood from Colorado Springs.
Mr.. and Mrs. leighton will prob
ably make their home in Greeley a
little later.
At the John P. Roberts home
place an important bit of accessory
irrigation is under way. A ditch is
being constructed at the road side
from Lone Tree creek to add to the
volume of water conducted eastward.
Additional land coming under the
ditch makes the conserving of all
the water possible a little more
necessary. Immense saver tile are
being used for the ditch crossing in
front OF the Roberts residence.
John P. Roberts, the veteran
ranchman who owns 4sO acres of rich
soi]'in connection with his home as
we'll as 5000 acres of range southeast
OF Cheyenne, is enjoying life in his
fine new residence. Many improve
ments have been made in his prop
erty. The section of the ranch to
the north has new house and barn.
Another new house was built last
year over to the northeast, a kitchen
addition was built to the farm house
occupied by Thomas New and a feed
