caIIs YOUNG Women Parrots.

Tekonsha, Mich.-The members OF
the Presbyterian church of this vii
lage have for some months been grow
ing FESTIVE under the criticism of their
pastor, Rev. William McPheters. The
last straw came when, in the course of
a sermon, he referred to the young
women of the congregation as "a
flock of cackling parrots" This was
too much and a meeting Of the congre-
cation was called. Though the year
for which Mr.. McPheters was en-
gagged was almost up, the congrega-
tion decided unanimously to have NO
more Of him.

cREELEY's OPPORTUNITY.
A new agricultural empire Is to

A new agricultural empire Is to be
opened up to our north that will
mean new epoch in our growth
agriculturally and industrially. Less
than month ago the Tribune pre-
dicted that not less than $40, 900, 600
would be spent within the next five
years between Denver and Cheyenne
in new irrigation enterprises. At
that time we had hardly hoped to
see the commencement OF this great
development so soon, but the pur-
chase by d. A. Camfeld and associ-
ates of the Laramie Poudre Irriga-
tion enterprise in the northern part
OF this county has launched the ship
and our dream Will soon be a reality.
All this development will be Of
untold value to the city Of Greeley
in business way. This Is going to
be the big city OF northern Colorado,
because 1t is now and always will be
the very center Of all this reclama-
tion Of the soil. 1t is Greeley men

Isn't providence Just about as kind

And haven't we come to to expect 1t
as q matter of course?
Early in the spring we Commenced
to mention 1t just as topic Of not

WATSON FOR GOVERNOR.

As result of the election of Fl. G.
Watson as department commander of
the G. A. r. at Fort Collins last
week, the Rocky Mountain News
springs him as the Republican plaus-
ibility as candidate tor governor.
All that we can say about 1t Is that
the News has made lots worse breaks
than that. There is only one chance
in a hundred that the next governor
of Colorado will be democrat, and
the chance of his being a good one,
II one was elected, is about in the
same proportion. The democratic
party is split into two factions right
now, and each faction has a strangle
hold upon the other, with little
probability Of either letting go in
time to do any effective work during
next falls campaign. That being
the case we would like to- see a real
man, though republican. the next
governor. Mr.. Watson will compare
favorablV with anything we have had
for governor of Colorado for the last
forty years or less. He might make
mistakes, and bad ones at that, but
they would be honest mistakes, and
that is a whole lot better than max

A number of dogs have been bought
by fanciers especially for the Fresno
show, among them being the recently
arrived fox terrier, Sabine Ringer, now
owned by Walter w. Stettheimer. He
has also acquired the undefeated and
celebrated Wandee Knight. Albert
Hayes, the well known automobilist,

Holman in Line for
Investigation
accused of Making Threat to
Ignore Presence of Entire
Nous

The accusation made by Trainer Joe
Tigue Of the Reiss stable against Start
er Jake Hoffman in connection with
the running of the mare Entire Nous,
created a decided sensation in local
turf circles yesterday. Matt Reiss,
owner of the horse, formally brought
the matter to the attention of the
jockey club stewards yesterday and it
is presumed that the affair viii be
thoroughly looked into officially. Train
er Tigue was called upon during the
day to state what actually transpired
between him and the starter. He reit-
Grated what he had told his friends
privately, alleging that Hoffman had
warned him that if he persisted in
sending Entire Nous to the post that
he would disregard her presence at the
barrier and dispatch the field as if she
were not d starter in the race.
Starter Hoffman, on being inter-
viewed yesterday concerning the mat
ter, declared that Tigue must have mis-
construed his language. He claimed
that he told Tigue that he would feel
compelled to put Entire Nous on the
schooling list if he persisted in start
ing her, but that he did not make the
threat attributed to him by the trainer.
He expressed a desire not to be quoted
anent the matter at all.
