Fourteen prominent citizens of the
Park have Joined in supporting an e1-
pertinent farm. They organized the
association yesterday, secured tract
of land in the John w. Riggen ranch,
and mailed an order for part of the sup
plies and equipment.
The plan is to grow small patches Of
various crops that might be handled at
a profit in the Park and learn certainly
what species Of crops and what varieties
of each can be made profitable here.
With the specimens for exhibition and
the knowledge gained through the ex
perimental farm, these boosters intend
to advertise the resources of North Park
land. It's good business.

REPUBLICANS OIL
THE MACHINERY

With about rs Republicans present
last Saturday at q luncheon followed by
a meeting of the Republican central
committee, the political machinery of
Larimer county was set in motion for
the fall campaign.
Much enthusiasm was created at the
general gathering by informal addresses
by few of the stalwart and older mem
bers of the party. but no action was
taken looking toward the endorsement
Of any person for any office.
In beginning his speech at the close of
the luncheon, County Judge Fred W.
Slower, chairman of the central com
mittee, announced that the luncheon
was only given to get the Republicans
together for social time and oil up the
county machinery, and that they were
not expected to take action of official
character
Soon after the roll call a motion was
made that no candidates for Office be
indorsed at that time. The motion was
carried and followed by the adoption of
a resolution calling for convention to
be held here April the 25, to select 90
delegates and 20 alternates to the con.
gressional convention to be held at Den.
yer on April &c and to select 20 delegates
and 20 alternates to the state convention
at Pueblo April 90. There will be 1876
delegates entitled to seats in the county
convention April 25. 1t was also moved
that a caucus be held in each precinct
Of the county April 21, to elect delegat.
es to the said county convention The
gathering was attended by prominent
Republicans from all sections Of the
county, as we'll as other parts of the
state, among them Judge George w
Bailey of the supreme court. judge c.

A GLINiPsE an HOLLAND.

In Holland, that most unique OF
all countries, filled with its serious
and picturesque people. the canal
plays most Important part and is in
truth the very high. road of the
country. Beside this waterway the
roads Of steel and soil dwindle into
insignifcance. The perchants Of the
towns and cities must wait upon the
coming of the canal barges to re-
ceive their merchandise.
The canals of Holland form one
great family, so to speak. for they
are all tributary to each other, and
If one has the time and the patience
to travel on canal barge he may
sail from one canal into another till
he has traversed them all, and do SO
without leaving his own boat.
