The Greeley tribune., 1908-10-21

rom Greeley and Cheyenne to get
the support of the entire country.
his city should be one of the best
and most populous towns in the
county, next to Greeley Nunn Is
vet Young, and no matter whether
the ditch is built clear to the north
or Just to the south line of the town.
the future is glorious and full OF
promise.
Num- looks like a big winner and
BUYERS OF real estate there ought TO
double their money in the next
eighteen months.
Although Nunn is surrounded py
lands that seem peculiarly adapted 4
10 dry farming, yet the dltches pc
ing constructed into the district will |
make large area of productive /
land, of which Num- will be the |
center. and being surrounded by
land OF such character, Num- will |
continue to grow until she is city
as large and substantial as any be-
tween Cheyenne and Denver.
So much for the town itself. Let
us look at the surrounding country.
Acre upon acre stretches away as
far as the eye can reach, to north
ward. east west and southwark.
level as floor, with very few rises
Of ground and comprising thousands
of the finest acres that lie out doors.
Here is room for the whole OF some
eastern states, here are homes for
the overcrowded residents of the
eastern farming districts, here are
farms for those who are annually
washed out by raging floods in the
middle west. for here there are NO
floods to wash down stream the saw
ings of months Of hard labor; here
is investment for the millions OF
dollars locked up in savings banks.
Here in this broad stretch OF
country is the making OF great
city that will some day be the pride
and glory OF the state Of Colorado,
that will point with pride to the lit
tie town which started with only q
collection of houses and grew In a
short time to be an enterprising,
thrifty city.
Here, nestling around the town OF
Mum, are lands that rival in pro-
ductiveness and fertility the cotton
fields of the south; here are stretch
es of prairie, which. when broken
and farmed scientifically, put to
shame the largest yield Of the rain
belt country. For here, in addition
to dry farms. irrigated lands or
fruit lands. there are other invest
ments that pay large returns for the
money invested.
A man who was drifting about in
this western country. looking around
for a chance to settle somewhere
and make himself and the little fam
lily in the east a living. came to
Num- when his capital had dwindled
pretty low He had just enough to
make payment on some land. He
bought quarter-section from the
Townsite company. paying small
amount down, and then, with the
the wife and children, put up
small cabin and put in a crop. While
his crop was growing he worked
days for the neighbors. and finally.
when it came harvest time. he gath
cred his crops The proceeds from
that first crop more than paid for
J his land, and gave him a small bonus
: to tide him through the winter.
, This man says there is no other
spot on earth that equals Num-; he
: is there to stay; his land has, no
equal under the sun; there is a
, ready market for his crops, a good
enterprising town in which to do
! his trading. good school for his
: children, and he will tell you If you
) ask him that there is no place on
the earth like MUM, and he is
l right.
3 This is not the only person who
4 has met success at Num-, for every
r one who lives at Num- will tell you
= how they met success there, and no
: one tells Of failure, for there is no
= possible chance to fail at Num-.
