the graders go along. If ties and
rails can be gotten here in time the
line will be in operation between
this city and Evans by the first of
the yeal. Electrical current will be
rented for a time, until big power
station can be erected IN the coal
fields in tine southern part of this
county or satisfactory arrangements
made with the Central Colorado
Power company for furnishing cur.
rent to operate the system.
The line will be quilt to Idaho

matters that but few persons were
aware of his intentions until 1t was
announced yesterday that the graders
were here.
The line will come into the city
by two routes. Coming from the
south, passing by the west end OF
Evans, it will divide a short dis.
tance this side of that town, one
branch following closely the Union
Pacific into the city. This will be
used for freight line. Terminal
facilities have been secured on the
east side of the Union Pacific that
will be used for freight yards and
ware houses.
The other branch will follow

EATON IS GROWING
Many New Homes Going Up
There Now

The town of Eaton is about the
only one In Weld county, or all
northern Colorado, that has not been
doomed during the last two or three
years. The result is that it is just
like an overgrown boy, just bursting
out of its clothes everywhere. In
mes tpNs md clties II has bean
the rule to form additions, sub-di-
visions, etc, have these taken into
the city and then booming them for
all they were worth, and sometimes
more. Not so with Eaton. Her old
limits have been thought good
enough. The result has been an.
other town built up around the old
one and this new district is now
to be let into the city, so
that the people may enjoy light and
water the same as the rest.
Eaton seems about right for boom
ing at this time, because she wants
to grow all over, but is being held In
by few tight bands and buttons,
In the way Of city limits. There are
surprising number Of pretty homes
recently built or now under construc.
tion Just beyond the western limits
Their owners want to get into the
city.
There is also some business build
ing going on In the town aud alto
gether the place is a substantial ana
lively one right now. The second
railroad 1.-THE sugar road) Is also
tending to help out some, as 1t is
possible to secure c. s. S. cars for
shipping produce when U. P.'s run
short.

OIL AND GAS
GREELEY MEN WILL DRILL
FOR SAME SHORTLY
Denver Man Also in Field for
Land to Explore-Oil Bub-
bles on Water Cause
Excitement

The following story In Saturdays
Rocky Mountain News, though a
little garbled In fact, has served to
again call attention to the prospect
of natural gas and oil for Greeley:
''Oil has been discovered near Oak
street bridge on the west bank Of the
Poudre river, and 1t has caused a
great deal of excitement In Greeley
and vicinity.
The discovery was made by M. O.
Evans, the discoverer OF several
Texas and Kansas wells, who is con.
sidered one of the best oil and gas
men in the country. He said notl-
ing of the indications of oil and gas
found, but obtained options on the
properties adjoining the river for
the purpose of developing them for
gas and oil, as he believes the indi.
cation warrant him in doing.
I'm securing the leases he was
obliged to tell for what purpose he
wanted the land and 1t was then it
came to the ears of one of Denver's
youngest business men, Robert A.
Hart. He Immediately went to
work investigating the discovery and
found that in pool made by the
back waters of the river at the end
OF a ravine near the bridge oil bub-
bles were constantly rising which
spread over the water waves of pc
troleum. MI. Hart then went about
trying to lease the land on which he
found the Indications, but discovered
that Evans had beat him to 1t Be
fore giving up his search, however,
he purchased strip of land adjoin-
ing this property. and he has since
been offered three times the amount
he paid for it and has also been
offered terms for leasing the land,
but says he has not as yet made up
his mind just what steps he will
take. .s
There is quite a demand for stock
in the new company at Greeley, but
Mr.. Evans states that it looks so
good to him that he does not care to
form stock company, but will use
his own capital. In all his leases 1t
is stated that work must begin not
later than the first of the year.
A company composed of Greeley
men is now being organized and
probably within month will be in
shape to commence drilling for OIL
1t is not the intention of selling any
stock in the company to outsiders.
A few men will put in $50 or $loo
each to defray the expenses OF
drilling one we'll. II this does not
find the oil pocket that is believed
to exist somewhere In the vicinity OF
ley.another we'll will be drilled
at some other point. 1t is expected
that the local men will take over the
leases secured by Mr.. Evans while
here and as he is in Texas at the
nresent time and all negotiations are
beinp carried on by mail the process
is naturally slow. All that remains
howeyer. to be settled before opera
t,ons will be commenced is to secure
the transfer of the leases.

Three in One Evening.

Only three crazy men were gath
cred in by the officers last Friday
evening and locked up for safe keep
ing. One was found out near the
Clayton beet dump, where he was
driving the farmers about to his
hearts content. Deputy SherlH
Frazier and District Attorney Ewing
went out there In response to calI
but before they got there he hau
taken possession of farmers morse
and buggy and to humor the crank
the farmer drove to town with him.
Here Night Watchman Dickerson
tried to apprehend the fellow, but
found he couldn't handle him alone
without hurting him SO called Oh
more help from the sheritf's office.
Sheriff Florance and tndersherih
Williams responded and when the
fellow saw them he started on the
run for the Camfield hotel, got inside
and started up the stairs. He hau
reached the top floor before FREQ
williams caught up with him, ana
then he broke down and cried.
The first thing the fellow diu
when put into the cage In the JAZZ
way to knock Happy" Bill Watkins
down and from that time uht''
morning kept things lively.
The other two men are also "h-
known to the officers and were
picked up on the streets by the Guy
officers.

A FINE CHAUTAUQUA.
A Brilliant and Entertaining
Program.
--------
THREE GREAT DAYS YET
Fine Music, Entertaining Pictures and
Strong Lectures.

The Denison Chautauqua is now in
full blast. The great tent which
will hold 1900 people is in position in
Washington park in the east part of
town and the attendance thus far
shows that more room will be needed
before the close. The management
has provided comfortable seats. and
all details are perfected for the con-
venience of the people. There Is
every promise that the gathering will
exceed the hopes of the promoters.
The Chautauqua was formally
opened on Tuesday afternoon with
Mr.. Graham of the Redpath bureau in
charge. The prayer was made by
Rev. Ihuresson. after which Hon. j {.
P. Conner gave brief address of
welcome. He congratulated the peo-
pie of Denison and viciniy on the
coming of the assembly and hoped
this was but the first of many to fol-
low. He paid q fitting compliment
to Miss Davis who had presented the
possibilities of the program so we'll
that the business men were ready to
undertake the signing of a contract.
On Tuesday afternoon and evening
the Hesperiaas Male Quartette made
decided hit with their singing.
They are certainly good entertainers.
One of the members uf the quartette
Mr.. Thompson gave a strong lecture
that afternoon on Common People.
In the evening after the Hespsrians
We're through, Mr.. Goss with his NOV
ing pictures held the people for over
an hour. Some of the sets of pictures
were fine indeed. The people were
much taken with the views of Gin
dirilla going to the ball. and the girls
from the boarding school out for a
sleigh ride.
On Wednesday forenoon William
Rainy Bennett gave bright lecture
on The Man Who Can" and in the
afternoon the Hesperians opened the
program with some fine music. The
great lecture by Rt. Monsignore j..
Henry Then on this afternoon was
one of the treats Of the Chautauqua.

RICKETTS, COMING ON
This Town up in the German Settle.
ment Rebuilding

We knew full we'll that the nervy
Germans of Ricketts, would soon re-
build the district destroyed this spring
by fire. BY fall time there will be
as many business buildings in the
town as before the fire. They will
be all frame structures but many are
to be covered with tin so made as to
appear like brick. There is saloon
and hotel on the opposite side of the
street from the burned block. The
farmers come in to Ricketts, to trade
as OF the old days ana it can still be
counted as one of the brisk trading
points of the county. 1t is in the
southeast corner of Soldier township
on the Northwestern road running
from Wall Lake to Mondamin.
