Der interests can see no limit to its
capitalization, but at the same time
they express no fear of its attempt
ing to restrain trade by fixing prices.
Frederick Weyerhauser, "the lumber

home of Weyerhauser at st. Paul,
Mimi, to complete the details of the

Ing materials, between points on the
Pacific coast and Chicago and the
East are to be put into effect by the
Southern Pacific and its connections

enforcement of the orders of the In
terstate Commerce Commission in
the North Pacific coast lumber rate
cases, wherein the rates from Oregon
and Washington to the East were
reduced. The Southern Pacific con-
tested the cases without success.

and would certainly annex that busi-
ness to Greeley. This is something
that should be looked after by the
merchants here, or perhaps better,
the Commercial club.
There is also a big, new empire
springing up on our north that Gree
ley must not neglect. There is trade
in it, and if for no other than selfish
reasons we take up the matter our
people should establish more friend
ly relations with our new neighbors.
p In direct line with this getting
better acquainted with our neigh
bors" idea the Tribune has arranged
for a sort of trade excursion over the
Colorado & Southern and Great
Western railroad into the western
end of this county on Thursday
afternoon, August 81.
Others like it will be arranged for,
that the entire county may become
with the Greeley people,
and vice versa.

ALL IMITATION DRINKS TAGGED

the state pure food commission, act

Commissioner Wilbur F. Cannon
and Is of the leading druggists of
Denver decided that all soda fOun-
tains must bear the following sign:
The only syrups and fruits served
at this fountain that are not artifi-
cally colored or imitation flavors are
the following" with a list of such
products. From the wording of the
sign it appears that the majority OF
the drinks must be imitation flavors
or artifically colored, because the
purpose is to use something that
will involve the use of the fewest
names, and all are classed as bogus
except those actually specified.
The sign is to be in block letters
not less than an inch in height, in

be prominently displayed on all soda
fountains before September l. AL

BEAUTY SCHEME SURE

The splendid scheme for improv-
ing and beautifying Greeley. as
briefly outlined by C. B. Blake, the
landscape architect when here is
going to be go. The Tribune has
not the slightest doubt about this
now. Plans, the details of which
cannot be made public right now,
are under way that will bring this
about. Public interest has been
thoroughly aroused in the project,
and a number of people are working
earnestly to bring about the de-
sired results.
The Tribune has just received
letter from Mr.. Blake in which he
bids the Tribune or other Greeley
people call upon him for further ad-
vice in the matter, and it is ours for
the asking. He is so much inter-
ested in Greeley on account of the
courteous treatment accorded him,
and the manner in which the people
hare have taken hold of the beauty
idea, that he is ready to do all he
can to help.
A letter has also been received
by the Tribune from Hans W..
Hochbaum, landscape architect at
the State Normal, offering his CO.
operation and services in bringing
about results.
These are two offers that will not
be overlooked, and If these two men,
who have no other interest in the
matter than to see beauty developed
are willing to give time and energy
to the thing. how much more should
not every property owner in Greeley
be interested in making his home
individually and the city as whole
look its very best?
AS stated above, the Tribune has
not the slightest doubt about the
splendid outcome of the plan, but it
wants to- see the thing pushed as
rapidly as possible. Let US make a
beginning, and finish part Of the
plan, and let its compelling beauty
help to carry the whole scheme to II
successful conclusion.
There is not foot of the boule-
ward system as outlined in the
Tribune few days ago that cannot
be made to pay big interest on the
investment, in the increased value
of property along its way.

ESTIMATE MADE
BY W. l.. CLAYTON
NO OTHER COUNTY EQUALS
Potato Crop Will Be Best IN ears
All Other Crops Normal IN
cept Grain Which Will
BE Short

The Rocky Mountain New last
sunday published statements OF pro-
minent men in each of the agrleu'-
tural counties of Colorado, W L.
CLAYTON being selected to give MS
views of the crop outlook in Weld
county. These statements show that
this county is by far in the lead IN
crop prospects for the year.
The Clayton interview is conser-
vative and so far as can be ascer-
tained. is practically correct. H.
follows:
1.-The Greeley district has been
singularly fortunate this season IN
its crop affairs. Beginning with
spring that was alarmingly dry and
gave promise of big shortage OF
crops, in spite of the most perfect
system of irrigating bitches and stor-
age reservoirs in the country, it is
turning out to be an excellent sea-
son. The wheat crop is the only one
that suffered from the long drouth.
This crop, however, will average con-
siderably over two-thirds.
throughout the season the DIST
rict has been playing In luck IN the
matter OF moisture. There was no
snow in the mountains to furnish
water for direct irrigation, and the
reservoirs had only moderate sup
ply left over from last year. This
supply was also being saved for the
more profitable crops, sugar beets
and potatoes. But at the most op-
perfume times since the drouth was
broken fine rains have fallen ana
kept the soil in good condition ana
permitting of storage of q good sup
ply of water for late irrigation, This
supply is now ample to take care
properly of all late crops.
THE potato crop. judging from
the present condition Of the fields,
will run considerably above the
average Irrigation of this crop is
Just beginning and the yield looks
most promising.
1.-The beet crop is little late, but
will make an average yield.
For the first time in its history !
the Greeley district grew l'ooo
acres of peas for canning purposes.
This crop has also turned out good.
giving from $40 to $50 an acre
6IOSS. SOA ciOSI iu6 q COAAAV NAA
favorable season, and that tie farm
erp here are yet novices in ths culti-
walton of this crop, the returns are
very satisfactory.
There are also 500 acres OF to-
matoes planted for canning purposes.
The alfalfa crop will be about an
average. with the first cutting slight
ly below normal, but the second crop
promises to make up for the short
age.
Montrose county reports great
apple crop.
San Luis valley, looks toward big
crops.
Grand Valley is shy in fruit busi-
ness.
Delta has fairly good outlook for
fruit and beets.
Lincoln county suffers badly from
drouth.
Morgan county biggest beet crop
in history.
Boulder county can stand partial
failure.
The above are some OF the stories
that come from other counties.
