Trip county, home Of the Rosebud Sioux

era dawned upon that f,000. ~000-acre tract of
land-a new step was made into the
hitherto virgin frontier by the ever en-

and always further toward the setting sun.
Today Trip county stretched out to the
west Of Dallas for 100 miles and more a
sea OF waving grass IN spots and a limit

other parts, the remains OF the prairie

Four years from now Trip county will
resemble an old settled region. There will
be a railroad. there will be towns at in

Just west of Trip county lies Meyer
county. a tract fully as fertile as Trip.
and comprising much more land. Into
Meyer county the old-time ranchman. the

Season u Little Late But Beets Will
Catch Up Soon

The reports of destruction of beet
fields by the so-called web-worm in
the Longmont, Loveland and Fort
Collins districts have been greatly
exaggerated from actual facts, ac-
cording to the statement of the field
men for the Great Western Sugar
company. The worm did start to
work in earnest in the vicinity of
Longmont. but its work Of destruct-
ion was soon curbed.
Out of $1,000 acres OF beets in
that district only 40 acres of beets
field of 1865 acres of beets and sue
ceeded in getting away with 40 acres
of these, and were then knocked out
for good. The beets in the Longmont
district are somewhat behind those
in the Poudre valley in the matter OF
growth, but that is probably due to
a difference in soil formation. The
beets are also little behind the u.s.
ual time in the Greedy district, but
are growing we'll now and will prob
ably have thoroughly caught up With
the season in the next two or three
weeks. Everything now points to at
least an average crop in this district.
The rain last Sunday covered all
parts of the beet growing districts
except from Evans. south and east
toward Kersey. In those regions ir-
rigation was commenced this week.

PLANS FOR NEW CHURCH
Baptist People Talking and Hoping
for Results Soon

There has been much talk about
new Baptist church for Greeley
and it looks now as though the talk
was about to materialize, and that
there really would be a handsome
new church building erected costing
somewhere in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Such building would
have the audience room 60x6O and
would also have balconies on the out
side of the church. There has never
been much opportunity for out of
door meetings, but with these bal
comics from which the service could
be conducted and the handsome from
tage Of lawn that the church already
possesses as seating room, the ques-
tion of the summer congregation
would at last be solved. A set of
chimes for this prospective church
is also under consideration Splen-
did results can be secured from q set
of tubular bells, such as that in use
at the First Baptist church at Ithaca,
N. Y, and it is probable that the
tubular ones will be used on the new
church here

NEW VARIETY OF TRAMP
Was One of Those Dreamy Gentle
menly Kind Of BOes

He was gentleman, anybody
could see that.
The lady (she lives in Greeley but
she said terrible things would happen
to us if We dared use her name was
out fixing up her vines in the morn
ing light; and it was too romantic
for anything. He was kind of like a
Gibson man. she says. only he had
the melancholy lines of one of Har-
rison Fishers creations. and he was
topped off with a little straw hat
that was awfully sweet.
He came down the path and lift
ed the hat-no. he wasn't an agent
and this is what he said: Good
morning. Have you any work that
could do for something to eat?"
The lady took firm grip on the
handiest post. I'll didn't understand
you?' she faltered-like that. She
is lady used to the devious ways of
the socially elect and not easily rat
tied but as she remarked afterwards,
1T was so sudden"
But he was gentleman and he
had perfect command of the situation
II the lady had not. He explained
that he was hungry and that he was
looking for work, and presently she
recovered sufficiently to tender him a
hoe. 1t seemed queer way to treat
Harrison Fisher creation, but see
ing 1t was what he asked for
And he knew how to use a hoe all
right. He hoed until she. peeping
out at him discovered that he was
weak from hunger and then she took
him out lunch. He ate the lunch
gratefully; and here comes the real
ly surprising part OF the story, he
went back and finished the weeds.
Then he disappeared.
The lady swears that - was not a
dream, that there really was a
tramp; but sometimes even she has
to go out and look at the weeds laid
low to make herself believe the
story.

Greeley Boys Win

The Greeley Boys-the Old Reds
went down to Fort Lupton Sunday
and did things. Lupton has played
18 games this year and has won
all but four and claims to have the
best amateur pitcher in the state.
Just the same when the smoke Tor
maybe 1t was dust) of the victory
cleared away, the score stood two to
one in Greeley's favor. Lupton
made one run in the fifth inning and
Greeley made two in the eighth.
Jim Cheeky Luman made a home
run and Miller, who was pitcher,
covered himsell with glory. Although
the whole team worked up we'll the
victory in great measure was due
to Miller's effective work.

fittingly the old standpipe up on the

that Greeley's waterworks system

Who had ever heard of beet
sugar factory in this part or the
world in so? The person dreaming
such a dream would have assuredly
been without honor in his own coun-
try. The idea was preposterous-
10 wears ago. Yet maybe in 10 years
from now there will be shrimp rae

there are just as many chances for
any or all of them as there was for

days-and defied the prairies, fore

no more.
