cord in executive ability and scope Of
work carried on in the general So
ciety, with headquarters in the east
superior to any other organization Of
the church.

Warwick, the late Mark Hanna. So
tremendous was the Roosevelt VIC
tory and the Roosevelt power that
all the doubters and enemies were
obliged to shut up and keep their
fears and hatreds dark. But the
presidents action In the packing
house scandal ripened the soreness
against him and 1t has grown Slice
then until the boil burst without
anything more startling than an
Interstate commerce commission in
quiry into the Hartman mergers.
1t was like q man who broods for q
long time over the actions Of some-
body be believes is his enemy and
suddenly sAethes over on compare

Tegtman Free.

The case against William Tegt-
man, the young Greeley travelling
man charged with embezzlement by
Brule & Burke, the Denver commits
sion men, was dismissed In the Den
yer courts last Thursday and the
Young man is again breathing the
free air of Colorado. 1t was found
that there was really nothing against
Tegtman to indicate that he had
appropriated any of the funds to his
own use, except in the interest of
business, and that practically the
entire amount Of the shortage was
due to bad credits, for which the
firm wanted to hold him responsible.

WHY THERE HAS BEEN DELAY DURING TnF
LAST THREE OR FOUR MONTHS
How Other Cities Having Similar Work on Hand
Are Farins. No Discrimination Against
Greeley in Matter Of Material for the
Pipe Line. Some Few Facts.

For the benefit Of those who may
think Greeley has Jared badly In the
loss of time In the construction OF
the new water works some figures
have been gathered on what is going
on in other parts of the country.
In the first place had not the new
council when elected two years ago
been overloaded with little petty
work that was crowded In upon the
members by importuning citizens,
the water works could have been got.

and have avoided some of the CON.

a large part of the lumber for the
pipe line shipped In. This would
have meant the completion Of thu
work before this. When the decks

1t took considerable time to get

|placing tbs bonds. That everything
was In good shape was shown by the
fact that the bonds sold at an ex-
ceedingly low rate of interest, and
absolutely no bonus was necessary to
place these.
The engineers had previously been
engaged ana the bids for construction
advertised for. The bid of the
jacobson Bade company of Seattle
was considered the lowest and best,
figuring something like s22, 900 less
than the next best, made by Colo
RADIO firm. The contract was let and
all material ordered, including the
machinery for the pipe factory which
was to be established here by the
Pacific Coast Pipe COMPANY. Then
came the San Francisco earthquake
and for long time thoroughly upset
and demoralized railroad traffic on
the Pacific coast, and in fact all over
the northwest. The machinery for
the pipe factory was delayed, but
meantime considerable quantity of
lumber arrived here and was piled at
the factory site. Much of this had
to be rehandled when the factory
was finally in running order, causing

Birthday Surprise.

Misses Bessie Blair, Amanda and
Katherine Carpenter were the hos
tesses of a pleasant party last Thurs
day evening at the home of the
former. The party was given In
honor of Miss Stella McClenahan' s
birthday and was surprise to the
Young lady. The evening was spent
with progressive conversation and
several unique amusements and
music. In contest of making but
ton holes by the boys Elmer Roger
won first prize and Arthur Rankin
the consolation prize. Late In the
evening a nice lunch was served.
There were forty young people pres

some delay. But the greatest delay
has been occasioned by the extraor-
dinary heavy traffic in perishable
freight from the northwest during
the last six months, making it prac-
tically impossible to make the rail-
roads move such freight as lumber.
The contract with the Jacobson
Bade company called for the compile
ti0n of the water works by Jan. /,
1907. There was an indemnity
clause in the contract stipulating
that the company should forfeit $25
. day for every day it ran past Jan.
/, 1907, without completing the sys-
tenn. When 1t became evident that
the water works would not be com
pleted in that time the council
granted an extension of 20 days for
the fulfllment of the contract,
helnging it up to April l, 1907.
l6one criticism has been made of the
Ibcopncil for this action, probably be-
casise these critics are not thoroughly
ltnfcrmed In the matter. While tht
e1 guild, no doubt, have tried Z

IL is very doubtful II this could have

made The contract also stipulates
that the construction company shall
not be held responsible for delays
over which this company has abso'
lutely no control. The railroad
situation furnishes just such a con,
dition. Without such clause it is
doubtful IL any responsible firm OF
contractors would have taken the
contract.
Now then, as to any discrtmina-
tion against the city of Greeley in
this work reports from few other
places where water works are being
constructed may shed little light
on this matter.
The city of Walla Walla, Wash, >,
situated almost in the timber belt,
from which the material for water
pipe is secured, started work almost
simultaneously with Greeley, on .
seventeen mile pipe line. Thirteen
miles of this has been completed but
there still remains four miles to
complete.
Grand Junction, Colo, started
shortly after Greeley's work was

New D. A. R. Officers.

The following state officers were
elected at the d. A. R. conference

The program wednesday evening
was open to the general public and
every number was thoroughly en-
joyed. Mrs. o. F. Sbattuck sang
several selections and her rich, clear
voice charmed the audience. Mrs.
VIM. c. Ferril and Mrs. E. A. Wix-
son, both of Denver, gave interesting
talks on THE Santa Fe Trail"
The principal address of the even
ing was given by Plof. Geurdon Mil
Ter on THE Frontier of the United
States. The lecture was excellent
and very much appreciated.
The conference was decided sue
cess in every way. The ladies of
the d. A. r. are grateful to those
who so kindly loaned their flags for
the decorations. The committee on
decorations was ably assisted by two
decorators sent by Fl. H. Shaw.

Largest Shipment.

The largest shipment which ever
left Greeley was ITO cars, containing
81, 500 sheep, sent Wednesday for the
Chicago market From Fort Collins
district came rs carloads and 81 cars
were from Eaton, Greeley, Ault and
LaSalle. The sheep were ewes and
lambs and averaged so to 80 pounds.
OF the l25, ZOO sheep on feed here
Dec. l, three-fourths have gone to
marekt and but few ewes are left.
L. C. Gavin Of Eaton placed two
carloads of lambs on the market
Thursday, receiving s cents pound,
the highest price this year in the
Fort Collins and Greeley district.
Despite the high cost of sheep farm
ers are doing we'll on them, with
prospects of higher prices before
spring.

under way. They have 20 miles of
pipe line with no filtration basins
and no settling basins. Several
miles Of pipe line still remain to be
constructed and they will pay s265, 900
for the pipe line alone. This is due
to the fact that they got into the
market for lumber SO late that the
sudden rise which took place shortly
after Greeley had ordered its supply,
caught the Grand Junction people.
While Greeley is paying Gill per
foot for 2O-inch pipe Grand junction
is paying s2. 45 for the same thing.
The cost of the Greeley system com.
pleted will be close to 1925, 900. q
large amount of this being expended
right here in the city and also set
tling and filtration plants.
A ripe line and filtration plant
has just been completed at Berthoud.
They have fourteen inch pipe, cost
ing IS cents a foot. The contract
time for this work was l20 days, but
it was necessary to extend the time
another six months, for the very
same reasons that 1t has been neces-
sary to extend the time In Greeley.
There are two other small cities
near Grand Junction, the names ol
which we have not now on record,
that are constructing water works
and are having exactly the same
trouble as Greeley.
Compared then with every othel
part Of the country Greeley is II
fully as good shape as anv other cit.
or town in this respect.

Cenatry Firemsa'a DAnasr.


Two nuntfss stko on q cold. frosty
morning flre broke out In the ranch
buildings of w. A. Insinger, two
miles southwest of Greeley. The
neighbors came quickly to the rescue
and fought the flames so valiently
that the buildings were saved. Last
Friday evening Mr.. Insinger gave a
dinner in honor of the volunteer
firemen with few other friends
present. Much merriment was
caused during the evening by the
organizing OF a country fire depart
ment with Ed Daven installed as
fire chief.
The dinner was served at $3.50
O'Clock. The place cards were ap-
propriately decorated in water colors
with firemen, hose carts and bucket
brigades. Little boxes of candy also
decorated with firemen were given
as favors. The guests were Messrs.

Ditch Suit On.

An action has been begun in the
district court at Fort Collins by the
Larimer & Weld Irrigation company
against the holders Of the contract
under the old No. 10 ditch in which
the company asks for an order Of
court enjoining the defendants from
interfering with the headgates of the
canal.
In 1879, when the Larimer & Weld
canal was built, the promoters Of
that enterprise purchased the old
No. 10 ditch. which had an early
priority, agreeing to furnish the
stockholders in No. 10 with water
from the new canal.
The petition ALLEGES that the de.
PENDANTS have been opening and clos
ing the headgates' at will and under
claim of right by reason OF the old
contract. The claim is made that
the defendants have organized them
selves into q mutual protective asso-
citation which guarantees immunity
to any. of its members who operate
the gate without the consent Of a
ditch superintendent. The claim is
made that the superintendent has
been subjected to threats of violence
II he interferes with the free use Of
water by any OF the parties defend
ant.
