The Period Of Today.
There was great plain, almost
desert. stretching from the foot OF
the Rocky Mountains, eastward al
most to the Missouri River. Upon
this plain roamed millions of buff

lived in ease and luxury upon the
herds of buffalo, and fought eacf

large scale practical and from that
time on to the present day. Greeley
and Greeley men have been the forces
either directly or indirectly behind
most of the development of that kind
in the state. Her citizens are also
branching into other states and are
reclaiming the arid plains for more
settlements and communities like
Greeley and Weld county.
Historically, Greeley is less than
forty years of age, having been
founded in 1870 by Union Colony. or
ganized in New York by Horace Gree
ley and N. C. Meeker.
How long the dream Of a model
community and fine city where
temperance. religion and the highest
state OF morality should rule, had
lain terminating in the brain of the
indomitable Meeker, before 1t found
expression is probably known to no
body today, If ever. He crossed the
plains to Colorado some time in SOS
SO, and though nothing but the bar
rem wastes of the prairie greeted his
eve for hundreds of miles in every
direction. he yet saw in the soil for
nation and the plentiful streams
running out of the mountains, the
elements upon which an empire
could be founded. More, he lived to
see his dream realized and the model
city and rich agricultural community
that are now the marvel OF all who
see these. well on their way to great
ness before his tragic death at the
hands of the Indians in the Wh'''
River Ute Indian reservation. where
he had been appointed Indian agent
as mark of honor for the WORK
he had done in conquering the great
prairie. The massacre OF whltes III
which he died occurred September
30, 1879.
The first intimation that the peo-
ple of the country had that new
empire was to be founded IN the
heart of a reputed desert. was when

features that it was hoped to in cor

of the city, nearly all of which are
in force today and form some of the
strongest bulwarks around the social.
educational and religious life OF the
city. The strongest of these is per-

the sale of any kind of liquor on

the corporate limits have been ex-

has been made to cover all territory
of the Greater Greeley. Also the

to the plan of his assistant on the
