Judge Philips Criticisms.
To The STAR: profoundly respect

between Judge Philips .on the bench
and Judge Philips the voluntary Gen.
sor Of men in other professions The
Judge, OF course, occupies the want.

buked by him will doubtless comply
with his wishes; but l am obliged to
take issue with him when he goes out
Of his way to reprove the men OF tbe
pulpit. Strange words from great
jurist. de talks Ike any other man
whom the preachers may have pro-
voked. He is unduly sensitive. His
view Is not cosmopolitan.
There are some preachers--good
hearted, simple minded, respectful,
lovable, innocent non.combatants-
who preach just as Judge Philips
would have them to do. They de.
liver In periumed breath the pretty
phrases learned In college. They
have dreams and visions They re.
cite poems. They deal In the remote
and Intangible, the imaginative and
unknowable. They live outside the
world Of stern realities. They talk
much about God and little about
men. Tradition, love and sweet
memory throw halo about them
at the marriage and the funeral
Otherwise they are pleasing super
fluities. They do not materially al
feet the busy, rushing, semi-conscious
mass OF men.
But there are other preachers who
study books and men and affairs
They are scholars, thinkers and
workers. They know about the mar
ket, the stock yards, the farm, thu
banks, courts, breweries, theaser'
and the ways Of the world. They at
tend banquets and 60 sometimes OF
excursions with politicians, lawyers
, and judges. They participate In thu
worlds thought and action. TheJ
are In the world to do things. They
cringe under no criticism, finch IN
der no attack. They analyze the
motives of men. They utilize oppor
|, tunity and force issues to finalities.
Like the Master whom they wor
ship, they overturn the tables OF the
money changers. They work for the
welfare OF the world. One Of then
spoke seven times on British soil and
won an empire to the support OF
union, greatest OF earth. What
Judge or lawyer would or could have
done that? What preacher could

The town of Gilcrest, which
sprang up almost il single night,
has suggested to some of the older
towns around the country that they
must get up and hustle or be left
away behind. The station Nantes
has been sidetrack on the Union
Pacific road for some time. This is
located about sixteen miles south of
Greeley. A beet dump was estab-
lished after the sugar industry came
into the country and general store
was put in last year by W. F.
Hines. A blacksmith shop also was
opened up. But with these excep-
toins the present townsite was prac-
tically a wilderness January of the
present year.
The Gilcrest Townsite company
began operations about this date and
wonderful transformation was
wrought. A town was plated,
streets and a park laid out, avenues
aud groves of trees set out. various
lines of trade we're set in operation,
business buildings and residences
erected, and hustling, growing
little town now stands on the site
that was barren three or four months
ago.
Much of the credit Of this speed,
development is due to F. S. Miller
president and general manager OF thu
townsite company. Mr.. Miller built

country of southern California, {

nent growing town of Gilcrest The
reservoir will be built In spur Of
the Rockies called Wild Cat moun-
tain. Flood water and waste water
of the Platte will be held here in
vast volume sufficient to water
bonntifuliy $4,000 acres under all
conditions and still provide full
emergency surplus in the reservoir
Engineer figures make the acreage
higher but the projectors plan a
water right that will be three times
as ample as that often sold. They
say that the water rights often sold
by the irrigation companies are
fraud in that they leave the pur-
chaser with nothing whatever in case
of drouth or other emergency.
The Wild Cat reservoir will be six
miles long and four miles wide,
The average depth will he eighty
feet. An embankment of twenty
feet on the east will protect the
Union Pacific railroad company
The embankment will be eighty feet
high for 1900 feet. 1t is estimated
that it will take two years to build
