MAY help FARMERS
Destitute Men in Denver Seek
ing Work Here.

A few days ago b. d. Sanborn re-
cetved the following letter from g.
G. Lisbhardt. Of Denver. There
has Away bsen = shortage Of fsx0
help here and it may be that CO.,
siderable number of the men nsea-
toned in the letter can find employ
ment here aud not alone help then-
selves but help the farmers as we'll :
Mr.. B. d. Sanborn. Greeley Colo,
Dear Sir: There are quite ,
number of idle men in the city here
now that are seeking employment.
My attention was called to a bunch
of 1870 to 100 Bulgarian farmers who
were brought out to do work on the
Moffat road. The failure OF Orman
& Crook threw them out of employ
ment and they are here now subjects
of charity. An effort is being made
to get these men in particular, into
some farming community, where
they would he willing to work prac-
tically for their board while, until
steady employment could be given
them at remunerative wages. Most
of these parties, however, cannot
speak any English. They are being
taught how daily by the instructor
of the Y. NJ. G. A.
1t occurred to me that these men
being farmers would be very destr-
able for your community, and As
farm work should begin now pretty
soon, please advise il anything caA
De done to help out in getting these
people up in your section, and
oblige, Truly yours,
G. G. Liebhardt.

EXCELLENT FEAST
Banquet of the Weld County
Ministerial Association.

The annual banquet Of Weld
County Ministerial association was
held Monday evening in the parlors
OF the Presbyterian church. About
thirty were present, ministers and
their wives, although there we're
three or four lone, lorn creeters, !"
as Widow Bedott would say, who
were there without their wives.
After the viands were discussed,
which were beautifully and beauti-
fully served by the cateress, Mrs.
Dotson, came the piece de resistance
of the occasion. an address by the
guest of the evening, President u. \.
Snyder, OF the State Normal school,
on Religious Education.
1t Is doubtful II DR., Snyder ever
in his life had more attentive, ap-
preciabive and discriminating au-
d,ence. That the ministers were
such listeners goes without saying:
and as to their wives, we'll, they are
better vet. for they are having IA
constant training to 1t, listening, as
they do, not only for themselves but
for d whole congregation.
The address was fine, up-to-date
presentation Of the evolutionary
philosophy as applied to education
IL was an able exposition Of the doc
triue which Rev. DR.. Horswell DIRE"
at the Normal as a lesson from the
Book Of Hosea, that Salvation Is
by Education"

. mighty poor gimlet or else he Is
boring IN the wrong place. DR..
Snyoer spoke just an hour and ten
minutes. But lie isn't minister.
Moreover, by the second or third
turn OF his drill he stuck oil, and
the vel was a regular gusher from
that time on. He gave the domi.
niles q lot to think Of: 1t was Il
feast OF reason" but as they had
no opportunity to discuss the pre-.
sentation, there was no ''fiow of
soul.
At the close the president of the
association, Rev. John Doane, rose
and began to speak with his custom.
AIRY felicity and grace OF the great
pleasure the address had afforded
even though the ministers could not
accept 1t all, and when in the name
Of the association he began to thank
the speaker of the evening, one OF
the brethren interrupted, saying,
No. no, let US have vote on
that The question being put, the
entire audience sprang to their feet
in thanks to Or. Snyder.

John Mclean Recovering

John Mclean, the old hermit who
was shot in the face with dose Of
bird shot by Thomas Metcalf about
three weeks ago, is recovering from
his injuries in the hospital at Fort
Collins. The case is said to be one
OF the most remarkable known. Tho
entire lower jaw OF the man was
shot away or pulverized so that the
bones had to be removed. Mclean
will never be able to eat solid food
again. Although part OF his
tongue has also been removed he
talks fairly plain, and is developing
a good appetite. The wonderful vi
tality Of the old man is pulling him
through.
The shooting was the result of .
feud that had existed between Nc
Lean and the Metcalf family for
many years. tt Tive in the ex-
treme west cnd Mold county, bus

LOSE IN GREAT GAME
Miners Defeat Arrows in Excit-
ing Contest.

Before the noisiest crowd ever in

GrsdV1 Arrows played the state
eilampioas to q standstill At the Ar
mory last Thursday evening. The
game was so close that practically
eyery basket made would change the
lead of the teams. At the close of
the first half the score was % to
90 in favor of the visitors. The
second half was even harder fought
than the first and with only three
minutes of play left the score was 3S
to 81 in favor Of the Mines, but
with some great luck the visitors
forged ahead and the game ended 43
to 81 in their favor.
The contest was Of the hair raising
kind and was replete with sensa.

throws for baskets, many OF which
were made. Willets, the star of

GOOD ROADS
GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTS
VERY SUCCESSFUL.
Material Everywhere for Cheap
Construction-Only Bring
ing the Elements To-
gether is Needed.

The United States department of
agriculture has been experimenting
in road making, especially at the
south, where the need Of roads is
perhaps the greatest. And it ap-
pears from the statements sent out
by the department that all over the
country the elements of good roads
are ready and waiting. All men
need to do is to bring them together
in the proper proportions, put them
where the traffic is to be, give them
lust decent amount of attention
and there you are. -,s
For instance. perhaps the worst
road on earth is a wet clay which
has not been dranied. And a close
second to the clay is the unmitigated
sand road, where in dry weather the
wheels sink half way to the hub, and
a cloud of sitting dust pursues the
passing wagon. Yet by the simple
expedient Of bringing these two very
bad roads together you can have a
very good road. and at very moder-
ate expense. 'The bulletin Of the
department gives very careful in
situations with illustrations from
roads in being. All that is needed
is to thoroughly mix the sand and
clay In such proportions that there Is
just enough clay to I'LL the spaces
I bet ween the angular PARTICLES ol
sand. Cover your roadbed with thii
pulverized mixture, grade and drain
1t properly, and you nave . road
that will stand anything short OF
city wear for a mere fraction of the
cost Of macadamizing.
That Is, perhaps, the best thing
about the experiments the depart
ment is making. They are proving
that good roads do not cost so much
after all. Time was when we all
thought that road had to be
paved with stones, either rough or
laid, before it could be depended
on in wet weather. Now we are
learning that lot of things will dc
| Just as we'll as the broken stone.
The farmers of some parts of Illinois
have been burning the tough gumbo
clay of their neighborhoods to build
roads, and that, too, has worked
we'll. So do the King dirt roads OF
Iowa and Nebraska, and so do many
other devices. Pretty soon We shal
be driven to act on the knowledge
! that Of all roads the poor load is the
most expensive. When that time
comes the farm horses of the United
States will join in silent Offering
of thanks to whatever power has
opened the long closed eyes of their
masters. Rocky Mountain News.

HADSTREETRAILWAY
Greeley Was Up-to- Date Twenty
Years Ago.

There is some renewed activity in
The rssns fur m ssscfrip saas~ay. soe
Greeley and vicinity. The council
has passed the franchise asked for by
the Denver & Greeley Electric Rail-
way company on its brst reading.
F. o. Olson last Thursday started
his engineers at work on the line
into the city, to continue the grad
ing commenced last fall. Spending
real money to carry forward the
work is one of the best indications
that something may actually oe
done. Maybe Greeley will one Of
these days have another railroad out
let to Denver, and maybe it will
have some kind of local street car
system in connection with the in
terurpan.
But what we wanted to get at was
that even if we do get street cars
here this will not be absolutely new.
The cars might be, but the stree t
car track Is an old story about
twenty years old in Greeley. Few
people here are aware OF the fact
that s,teet car tracks we're at one
time laid on Seventh street, from
Seventh avenue to Eighth avenue.
This was so. though, and 1T is probable
that some OF the track Is still In the
ground there, covered up.
About twenty years ago A. +. Glib
son, now of Caldwell. Idaho, and w.
II. Daniels secured street railway
franchise here and built a block of
track to hold the franchise. They
we're never able to finance the pro-
iect more than to build this bit Of
track.

CLERK ADDED
JUVENILE COURT OF WELD
COUNTY TO BE IMPROVED.
Other Counties are Copying Plan
of Home Adoption for De-
pendent Children-Work
is Heavy.

o. F. Carpenter has been appoint.
ed clerk of the juvenile court. This
Is the first time since its organiza-
tion that this branch of the Weld
county court has been run separately
with clerk who is to devote a
large part of his time to the matter.
The difficulty has been heretofore
that the court has been over-crowded
with work that had to be taken care
of. SO that only sort Of superficial
attempt at carrying on the Juvenile
work Vas permitted. Judge Nixon,
has however, come to see the import
auce of this work in the county and
has originated an entirely new plan
for handling much of this business.
the board Of county visitors works
in connection with the juvenile
court. and some time ago Judge Nix
on had associate members to this
board appointed in various parts of
the county to keep track of cases OF
juvenile delinquency, dependent or
negl children and of cruelty to
animals. At the same time the
court adopted the plan Of caring for
dependent children right here at
home instead of sending them to the
ats home for such charges. Part of

itors and its associate members Ii

Whitehead OF the state board Is now
making an effort to have the same
system adopted In every county in
the state. The advantage in this
over the old system Of sending de-
pendent children to the state home
and to be adopted out from there, Is
that II the children have parents liv-
ing they need not lose track Of their
children altogether as was the case
heretofore.
With the growth Of the juvenile
court work the-olerical work of the
county court Office also increased to
such an extent that one person could
not keep 1t up. The court was also
behind with other work because of
the time taken up with juvenile
work.
f. II. Abbott, who is bailiff for
the county court. will act as proba
tion officer for the juvenile court.
The result Of 1t all will be that
Weld county will have one of the
most efficient Juvenile courts in the
state.

HAR MONY REIGNS
Antero Reservoir May Soon be a
Reality.

A split in harmony among the
stockholders Of the Antero & Lost
Park Reservoir company, which was
threatening to seriously hamper the
carrying through Of that project was
thoroughly patched up at meeting
OF the stockholders in Denver last
Saturday, and 1t is likely that the
company will shortly commence
actual construction work on the big
Antero basiD, situated near Hartsei,
in South Park The dispute among
the stockholders was due to a desire
b, some of them to sell the property
to the new Henrylyn Irrigation dis
trict located in Weld and Adams
counties, while others did not want
to sell in this way.
At the meeting Saturday 1t was
decided to go right ahead with the
project, and meantime see what
can be done about organizing an irti'
CATION district under the "ighline
canal near Denver. Mayor Speer
and the two commercial bodies OF
Denver earnestly requested the Gree
ley meu not TO consider selling the
water to any other land 'han tha'

from Ft. Pierre to Cherry Greek
now Icing under construction by
way of Leslie.
A new line is to be constructed
also from the Agency to Henry
Ficlder's opposite Leteau, thence
to the police station opposite
Evarts. From the latter station
an extension is to be made to con-
meet together all the police stations
on the Reservation.
Last weeks Phenix says:

The work will be completed in a
day or two. The government
officials at Cheyenne Agency have
announced their intention to con-
struct a telephone line from the
agency to Mr.. Fielder's and when
this is completed LeBeau will be
in touch with all points on the
Cheyenne reservation.
The storm last week prevented
the Indian Agent from going to
Lebeau, as was mention
