Gessler's case will be very compli-
Gated before it ends When tho deal
was made President Taylor OF Boston
promised President Bryce of the Co.
Iumbus nine with which Gessler played
that I'm addition to the big sum OF
purchase money he could have the ser
vices Of Joe Harris, the big pitcher
who did so well with Providence last
year. But there are several obstacles
in the way. Before Harris can go to
Columbus every club in the American
and every club in the National League
must waive claim on hig Joe. Several
absolutely refused. Bryce says Boston
must carry out its part Of the contract
and IL he doesn't get Harris the Boz
tons can whistle for GesSler. Bryce
may be appeased by a big lump Of geit
but before Gessler is measured for O
uniform he too must be snoothed out.
For some time the management was
in a quandary what to do with the
many outfielders on the list. If the
deserters continue there Will be trouble.
Two are already out of the way. Car
Isle, Cravath. McHale, Barrett, Sulii-
van and Donahue have signed. But
Gessler and Thoney are the men really
wanted. Gessler was the thing of
beauty and the JOY forever in the
West, and Thoney was certainly one
OF the stars In the Eastern outfit.

came the manager of the Brooklyn
club, winning the championship for
that city in SO and getting together

Fall River has been conspicuous
contributor to the baseball world, and
yet the New England League can
claim only Cy Morgan. now with the
Boston Americans, ard the greatest
player of his time, Napoleon La1oie.
Even La jOic alone was enough for one
city.
New Bedford has contributed Jimmie
Caravan. While Worcester has turned
out q number of fine players the city
was not until within three years d
member of the New England League.
Among other players that the New

TO BE GREATEST DAILY

The Daily Tribune's subscription
rate has been made $500 a year per-
manently to any part of the United
States.
1t was with more or less of mis-
giving, when the daily edition of the
Tribune was started couple of
months ago, that the price was
placed SO low as $500 year in the
city. and $500 year by mail. The
publishers felt, however, that a low
Introductory price at the start would
be most likely to fasten the local
daily habit" upon the largest num-
ber of readers.
So surprising and so satisfactory
have been the results of the expert
ment, that. after mature deliberation
it has been decided to make of the
Daily Tribune the greatest small city
daily in the state, If not in the Rocky
Mountain country To that end the
$500 rate will now be made perma-
nent, and 1t will not only apply to
papers delivered in Greeley by carrier
when subscription is made for a full
year, but will also be the price by
mail to any post office in the United

Tribune has for many years main
tanned its supremacy as the highest
priced local weekly in the state, ana
the same time held a larger bonatide
liz of subscribers than any other
country weekly in Colorado, In the
future it will publish the lowest
priced daily in the west. without
abating in any particular the fea-
lures and policies that have kept II
iar ahead of the procession.
To take care of the increased bus
ness that will surely come as re-
suit of the course which we have
mapped out for ourselves, arranse-
ments are under way for the install
lation of a Duplex Perfecting press
that prints from a roll. both sides OF

WORK is LAUNCHED

The Tribune feels good all over
today over the splendid support now
given it in the work of creating in
terest in, and bringing about a more
beautiful Greeley. The right people
are now interested. and while there
are many more good people in Gree
ley who will do splendid work in the
Civic Improvement association or
ganized last evening, the people
actively enlisted in the work SO far,
are the right kind. The Tribune
asks for nothing better than to work
for, with. or under the direction of
these men, and the women who will
be added to the official list of the
organization. Much publicity will
still be needed to arouse everybody
to action. More work will be needed
also. The Tribune will be glad to
do a great deal OF both, and hopes to
see every newspaper in the city take
up the matter and push 1t with vigor.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS

AS UAAAOAAl AAA60sAOA SOe49A ~s'|
will be held this year in Albuquerque
and in connection with it there will
be an exhibit of the products of irri-
gated agriculture gathered from the
entire arid region. The importance
of the occasion may be judged from
the fact that congress appropriated
$4,000 to aid the exposition and
provide a creditable exhibit under
the immediate auspices of the fed
eral government.
1t is we'll that large exhibit from
Colorado is in preparation. for the
state which is the leader in irriga-
ti0n ought not to be behind any of
fts sister states in presenting samples
OF its industry and enterprise. The
Colorado exhibit need not be the
largest. but it should be the most
complete and instructive.
Albuquerque is the principal city
In New Mexico, and its annual fairs
have for years commanded the atten-
tion of large part Of the Southwest.
Its people are enterprising and pro-
gressive, and for nearly year they
have been preparing for the ap-
preaching congress and exposition.
The fact that they were able to in
duce congress to appropriate 100000
in aid of the exposition is sufficient
to show that no charge of lack of
enterprise can be brought against
them.
In the irrigation congress itself,
the people of Colorado have special
interest because of the relation be-
tween irrigation enterprises in the
San Luis valley and those farther
south in the New Mexico extession
of that valley. The state should be
well represented. and able men
should be chosen as delegates to ad-
vocate Colorado's side of the Rio
Grande water problem.

SAD END.NG OF SUMMER.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Beartlsley Lose

This fine Colorado summer has
had a sad ending for one family

the heantes of Greeley that t''ey
had decided to make this town their
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Boards

THE DAY OF THE PRIMARIES

Judging from the lack OF interest
in the primaries last Saturday even
ing the coming campaign is going to
be as tame as pet rabbit There
were not over $50 votes out in the
whole city for democrats and republi-
cans combined.
This again brings us to the point,
what's the use?" What's the use of
anv of us kicking about political con-
ditions when we will not take the
first step toward bettering things?
We can shout for Bryan and for
Roosevelt. or for Taft. just as the
notion takes us, and tell what one or
the other of these men will do, but
any one of them is practically help
less without our help at the primar-
les
Do you realize that last Saturday
evening might have given us here
in the county a set of county officials
composed of a prize fighter for super
intendent of schools, highway rob-
ber for sheriff, and second story
man for county treasurer and so on
down the line? That is, it might
have been done SO far as any inter-
est taken in the primaries by the
average person here is concerned. It
certainly shows unbounded conf
dence in the politicians of this county
to allow perhaps a dozen of them
from each party to select the men
that will officially manage for us
pr operty valued at s45,0O0,000. The
confidence is not in any way mis-
placed, so far as we know, bu. sup
posing somebody just for a joke
with little genius for
organization-hadw worked up deal
to put in an entirely different set
of delegates to the county convep-
tions, than the lists selected by the
regular politicians, it could nave
been done.
1t is funny what care person will
take in every other detail of his husi-
ness, except that of politics, which
in reality means more to him than
else which comes into his
business, if he would but stop to
consider; as it means the safety with
which his business, his family and
his liberty are surrounded.
Things will go on in Weld county
as they have in the past, but in some
places politics could not be left by
the people to run themselves, or
there would be such grating sat
urnalia as had never been seen be-
fore. Every locality has not the
same high type of citizen as has
Weld county. nor has every commu-
nifty as good timber in politics as has
this county. If it were SO, it would
cut but very little figure which par
ty dominated. national, state or local
affairs. Everybody would get to-
gether and discuss what was best
for everybody, regardless of party
lines, and the best would be adopted.
OF course, Weld county cannot
wag particularly large part of the
political dog, but it can wiggle itself
some and show its good intentions
anyway, by turning out Just as
literally at the primaries as at
election. On election day it is too
late to remedy things. You then
have only choice between two men
for certain place, while at the
primaries you have the entire popula-
tion of the county to choose from.
