"Christmas eve, Dick! Christmas,
| Ebenezer!" The same joyful Christ
mas spirit that in the time of Dick
ems excited the above EXPLANATIONS
is still extant and already people are
preparing to enjoy Christmas fes-
tival or to accept an invitation to
"O1d Fezzinwig's ball.
The feeling that gift giving is de-
manded of one-whether or no-is
becoming absolute and the beautiful
spirit that demands giving simply
as an expression Of love or friend
ship is becoming more and more evil
dent Truly we are living in the
dawn of the era of active virtue
quality.
1t has seemed that a desire to do
good for duties sake or for a love of
praise was stronger than the divin-
ity within that demands good deeds
for loves sake. Heart response
should always accompany a gift.
True, mere substance giving often
serves a relief from suffering and so
should not be entirely discouraged
for there are many avenues thru
which such help is. needed but let
it be remembered that all the trying
in the world to benefit a person by
emotion of true gratitude so long as
there is at the heart of the giver an
uncharitable incentive. Christ's life
was made up Of acts of charity, love,
and the beautiful spirit that prompt
ed his deeds should characterize all
acts of kindness at Christmas, the day
kept to commemorate his birthday.
''Abou Ben Adhem MAY his tribe
increase) Awoke one night from a
dream of peace. and saw within the
moonlight in his room, making it
light and like lily in bloom, an
angel, writing in a book of gold. Ex-
ceeding peace had made Ben Adhem
bold, and to the presence in the room,
he said: What writest thou?" The
vision raised its head and with a
look made all of sweet accord, ans
wered: ''The names of them who
love the lord" "And is mine one?"
asked Abou. Nay, not So replied
the angel Abou spake more low but
cheerily still and kind, Il pray thee
then write me as one who loves his
fellow-men." The angel wrote and
vanished. The next night it came
again with great awakening light
and showed the names whom love of
God had blest and 10, Ben Adhems
name led all the rest
The people of South Prairie are
taking advantage of these beautiful
evenings and almost nightly there is
merry gathering of neighbors.

MUST TRY TO PLEASE.

The meeting of the State CONNER
cial association, which takes place
here next week Tuesday and Wednes-
day, cannot fail to be Of much bene.
fit to Greeley, providing we do the
thing up properly. Upon the treat
ment accorded the visitors will de-
pend largely the value of the meet
ing to this city.
We certainly have the pleasant
city to show the visitors and II we
show them that we are more than
equally pleasant ourselves they will
carry away with them a lasting i'm.
preston of US and the place in which
we live.
Thanks to some Of the things that
have been accomplished by the Com.
mercial club and the city council
the past two years we can show as
good progress as any city OF this
size IN the country.
We want more people here of the
right sort. We don't want to over.
build but we want building progress
to keep up with the demand and
where can you find an empty store
building or an empty residence worth
having right now? Fifty to 100
modern houses. renting from 800 to
$50 a month, could be used here at
the present time or at least by Sept.
/, and we want somebody with
money enough to come in here and
erect these. And the people that
can do this are the ones that will be
reached through the delegates that
will come to the Commercial associa.
tion meeting. The better the i'm.
preston the city can make, then. the
sooner will we reap the reward OF
our effort.

somewhat from year to year. IL
rbe sale of the Pier eighty acres IN
Pleasant Valley last week, however,
a good idea Of farming as strict!
business proposition may be had,
Last year this eighty acres paid g.
teen per cent net on valuation Of
$50. 900, or seven and half per cer,
-practically the prevailing rate o
interest on money-on valuatiou
of $40, 900. This is net incomes Of
81 900 for the years work. Taktr,
into consideration then that practl'
cally all of this was made in sS
months of the year, while the ownel
took things easy the other six, il
makes farming one of the most g.
sirable lines OF business one couli
enter. 1t also demonstrates that tlle
highest priced farms are the best to
buy. 1t also demonstrates that 4
farmer can make an excellent income
on less than 100 acres. In fact, Ms
are inclined to believe that but few
in the district couli
show a much larger net income las
year than the eighty in question
and yet there are thousands of ACRES
of land in the district fully as gooi
as this one piece. The argument
then is all in favor Of the smaller
tracts. We have not nearly reached
the maximum production Of the land
here, according to European stand.
ards, and we never will so long,
we try to handle enormous tracts ioi
land that we can only half attend to
The problem of farm labor will also
be solved by cutting up the land
into forty acre tracts where man
md his family can farm it alone.

CRUSHED BY AUTO
Young McKelvey Badly Injured
in Mountains

Little Paul McKe!vey, the young
est son of MIR. and Mrs. Vernon Nc
Kelvey, was seriously injured last
week at the Forks hotel where the
family were stopping while enroute
to their cottage in Estes Park.
An auto which had been left
standing near the hotel attracted the
attention of several children who
into the machine to play.
In some manner they set the ma
chine in motion and the auto, with
out guiding hand, crashed into the
porch Of the hotel. catching the lit
tie boy and cutting his legs in a
frightful manner. Only the fact
that the springs of the machine ex-
tended far enough ahead to receive
most Of the shock saved the boy from
instant death.
DR.. S. A. Wright, who has cot
tage near the Forks, is there on his
vacation and was summoned at once.
By his timely arrival the little one
was saved much suffering and he Is
now resting as we'll as could be ex-
pected. After several days the child
was able to be moved to the cottage.

To Put On Motor Car.

The Great Western Sugar company
Is considering putting on an automo.
bile on the Great Western railroad,
the sugar road, for the carrying OF
passengers. The car will be some
what similar to the gasoline motor
car now running on the Union
Pacific.
Steel is now being laid on the
Great Westerns line from Windsor
to Officer and will be finished In
time for the beet crop this fall.
That gives the company fairly
direct line from Eaton to Loveland
or Longmont and also connects up
with Mead, Johnstown and Hills
boro, giving a considerable railroad
system In itself. Over all this line
1t Is expected the new car will make
regular trips.

Five wears ago it was believed tlaV
irrigation had about reached i's
limit in northern Colorado ana Se'
with the CON pletion Of the various
irrigation systems now under way
the area will be more than doubled
This area can again almost De
doubled and in most years there VIII
be water enough so 10 waste 10 ltf''
gate this added acreage. All we
need is still more storage reservoirs
and these are being added rapidly.
We have then the foundation laid
for steady growth at the present
rate that NAV last for the next ten
wears. BY reason of its location,
right in the center of this great irrl-
gated area. Greeley viii more ana
more become the metropolis OF
northern Colorado. Its railroad
facilities are right now better than
those of any other city north OF Den
yer and unless all signs fail there
will within the next year be connec-
tions made with other roads that
will mean thousands of dollars di-
rectly to this section. Greeley will
be the hub in northern Colorado of
three big railway systems and pos
sibly have some spokes of electric
lines running to various points OF
the compass besides.
Greeley's Importance in northern
Colorado has been somewhat demon
strated the past few days by reason
of the strike on the Colorado &
Southern. Fort Collins, which is a
good and hustling town, also. has
been practically isolated from the
rest of the world so far as the rail-
roads are concerned. Greeley has
been called upon to send her sup
plies. We have the wholesale house
that can do this. That also gives
one Of the keys to the coming growth
Of this city. Greeley will be the
Wholesale as we'll as the principal re-
tail center of northern Colorado.
Our manufacturing list is becom-
ing formidable. The great sugar in.
1ustry, the vegetable packing plant,
| score of smaller institutions are
gradually giving US pay roll that
will be able to maintain good
;ized city here independent Of the
wonderful agricultural resources.
How long will Greeley keep on
growing? 1t is hard to tell. She
has barely commenced and the stop
ping point is so tar away that only
the strongest telescope of the imagi- !
nation can see it.

THE PLACE IS IDEAL
Eldorado Springs Where Our
Correspondents Will Go

,1rsody the Tribune correspond
srts' picnic at Eldorado Springs Fri
aay, Aug. 50, is being talked OF
among Greeley people and others
who enjoyed the picnic last year. 1t
has been pronounced by nearly every
ro5y who went as the most pleasant
excursion and outing they ever en-
ioyed. SO it was. not alone TO the
.,isitors but to the Tribune force as
well.
There are so many attractions at
EIdorado Springs that one visit Is
not enough to explore more than
half of the places of interest. For
That reason the same place was
selected this year for the annual
outing. One of the best features OF
the place for an outing is the near
ness to Greeley. The resort is only
a short distance from Boulder and
the ride TO reach it is only in the
form of an appetizer for the stretching
of limbs in the climb OF the crazy
stairways, the high rocks and expIor-
Ing the beautiful South Boulder
canon Then there are the bathing
pools, giving the most invigorating
baths to be found in the state. The
water could be made extremely
warm but it is kept cool enough to
nut life into the bathers instead of
creating that drowsy, sleepy feeling
that the warm baths of Glenwood
and other resorts induce. Free
bathing suits will be provided to
Tribune correspondents this trip.
Remember the place is simply per-
feet for picnic lunches. Tables and
benches by the hundreds have been
placed in shady hooks and there are
scores of fine springs bubbling out of
the rocks. Yes, the place Is ideal
for outings, alright.
The Greeley tribune., 1907-08-15
WE ARE OPTIMISTIC.

How long will Greeley continue
to grow?
This is question asked by old
residenters and new comers alike.
Well, we may be mistaken, but
chances are that it will keep up a
steady growth for several centuries.
But, of course, the question refers to
the present rapid growth; the growth
that has been so marked for the last
five years.
Barring some big financial panic,
which calamity howlers have been
predicting for the past three or four
years, chances are all in favor OF
the same proportionate growth being
continued for the next five years, in
which case we will at the end OF
that time have city here of Is, OOC
people as against about 5000 now.
Ten years ago the city had popu-
lation OF about 3, 200 and it remained
at that figure for many years, just
maintaining its own while the
country around was being developed
far In advance of the town.
Then came the beet sugar industry
and the town came forward with a
jump to catch up with the country.
1t has probably caught up by this
time, or nearly so. but 1t had tc
double in population to do so. Here
again the calamity bowler gets busy
with his story that there is nothing
more to justify the growth of the
town: Yet there is everything to
justify this growth.
The Greeley tribune., 1907-08-15
WHY WE DON'T.

Why don't you write editorials
upon up.to-date topics: asks one
constant reader of the Tribune.
Yes, true enough, who don't we:
In this particular case, we fear, it
NAV be because we do not know
what in this readers mind consti-
tute up date topics. Is it some
late and great discovery in medical
science: some wonderful engineering
feat; some great social problem; the
divorce evil-or blessing-or the hor-
rors of child labor in the south? Is
it some new thought" cult that
needs boosting or regulating, or the
matter of woman's suffrage that
needs expanding or curtaillng?
Should we talk of the yellow peril"
or the old blue laws? Should we
expound some great theological prin-
ciple, or condemn the educational
methods of the day?
All of these questions are vital
and up TO- date, but perhaps hardly
within the province of country
weekly They are topics that we
touch only at the outer fringes, and
cannot reach the heart Of, and still
be and feel like useful citizens.
Every one of these questions has its
own special publication and public
ity department.. We are not that.
Our field is Weld county and all that
therein dwells. We are concerned
with the moral and commercial up.
building of this community and
our hands are kept fairly full of
business attending to these things
in this small field. There are others
with larger ambitions and also larger
capabilities. but they probably get
no nearer the heart of things than do
we in our chosen field.
II we do not write up to-date edi-
torials on world problems, dear
reader, you may put it down as an
assured fact that it is our sincere
and conscientious belief that we are
doing this part of the country more
good by devoting our energies to
this field, and hitting the mark, than
II we scattered all over Creation and
missed everything.

A NEW ZION CITY
One Being Planned for Northern
Colorado

Henry W. Bell, claiming to be ;
special representative Of Volivia
successor to Alexander Dowie of Zior
City fame, was in Greeley one day
last week and had the Arbuckle
Purcell Land company secure options
for him on a large tract of land moi
far from Greeley upon which the
Zionites plan to build a model city,
something on the plan Of Zion near
Chicago. Here it is planned to
bring the big lace factory that hks
been the wonder of other manufact
urers of the country ever since its
establishment by Dowie ten or
twelve years ago.
For two or three years before the
death Of Dowie there had been dis
sention among his followers over the
property in Zion City and Dowie
himself was sort of exile from the
city which he had planned and built.
Volivia was the leader of the opposi.
tion to Dowie, but it is understood
that the former has practically been
deposed from power in Zion and it is
for branch of the society that still
cling to him that the nea Zion City
is being planned.
Options have been taken on about
10000 acres of land that it is planned
to irrigate and farm intensiyeIy.
Upon apart of this the .Dowieites or
Zionites will build their city, if

SMALLER FARMS NEEDED

Some of our very best farmers will
claim that they cannot farm less
than l6O acres Of land and make a
success of the business. 1t has been
somewhat difficult to secure exact
figures upon the net income from

JUDGE GOFf IN HOSPITAL
NOTED JURIST RESTING IN PHIL
ADELPHIA INSTITUTION.
His Condition Is Not at Ali Serious,
and the Rest Is Doing Him
Much Physical Good.

Judge Nathan Golf is in private
hospital in Philadelphia for rest and
treatment. He has been in that city
the last seven or eight weeks under
the care of physicians and will likely
be there several weeks longer.
Judge Golf is not in his usual ro-
bust health, but there is nothing Sc
rious about his condition. During
his long service on the federal bench,
he has devoted himself closely to the
duties of the position, which are
quite extensive and has~had but few
vacations, in fact none longer than
day or so. These duties, together
with his large business interests, have
been somewhat trying on him physical
ly and in early summer his health
became impaired.
