ANOTHER TOWN IS
A NEAR PROSPECT
BETWEEN HERE AND LUCERNE
Lucerne Depot to Be Moved to Grow
Creek Junction

Greeley and vicinity is now ready
for any surprise in the way OF rail-
roads, irrigation schemes, new towns
and the like. and when a big deal is
sprung we no longer open our eyes
il wonderment. but take 1t as mat
ter of course, realizing now that We
must be the chosen people.
The very latest in this glimmering
apocalypse is another new town. and
the probable death of an older one.
The depot at Lucerne is to moved
half way to Greeley where the main
line meets the Grow Creek branches.
A switch track will no doubt be left
at Lucerne. but the town is to come
this way. At the present time the
new town 10 called White City on
account of all the tents erected II
the neighborhood. 1t might also b<
called North Greeley and within q
very few years will be practically q
suburb of Greeley.
A dispatcher's Office for the Grow
Creek branches will have to be 10
Gated at this new town, or in Greeley
but most probably at the new town
The railroad company must have had
this town in sight from the very
start. as one of their very first pur
chases was twenty acres of ground
in that vicinity. The right of wa!
has been secured from Fourth stree
to the river in order to provide fol
double track from White City t.
Greeley, this track to connect with
the new Sixth avenue line.

TO BUILD TRAIL TO
TOP OF MOUNTAIN
Estes Park Association Are Pushing
Things M Lively Gait

A special meeting of the Estes
Park Protective and Improvement as
sociation was held in the park this
week, at which it was decided to
build a trail to the top of Prospect
mountain. This trail is to be COM
pleted by July 4, and is to begin at
the Big Thompson bridge and run
up the north side of the mountain
descending on the south to Mary s
lake.
One thousand, four hundred dol
lars was subscribed to the fish hatch
cry fund for the year.
An entertainment committee was
also appointed to provide series of
entertainments this summer to which
everyone will be invited in true west
ern style.
One OF the most important things
considered was that of making Estes
park and vicinity a national park
and game preserve. This would in
ciude an area "a miles in length and
just as wide, and would adjoin the
Medicine Bow national forest. A
committee of two was appointed on
this matter, Enos A. Mills and Frank
o. Stanley.
Great interest is being. taken by
the park people in the coming con-
vention of the state pharmacists
which meets June 22
In spite Of bank-full streams, the
fishing Ia fine, and big game is seen
daily on the lower ranges.

A third proposition more impor-
tant perhaps than any idea advanced
in years and which would make Gree
ley railroad center second only to
Denver and Pueblo was given de6n-
ite form and it is believed can be
pushed to a successful climax. 1t
is nothing less than to bring the
Julesburg branch OF the Union Pa

reliably known that even high on
cials of the road have discussed the
subject in the past month.
The directors of the club appoint

d. A. Camfield and d. d. Sanborn,
and these two are to select . third
member to present the proposition
to the officials of the Union Pacific.
The old track into LaSalle would
remain and be used for freight. but
all the passenger service to Denver
from the east would come through
Greeley. That would mean that
Greeley would be the division point
for all the Colorado branches and
also that the roundhouses would be
located here.
The Julesburg branch. the Chey-
enne branch. the Fort Collins branch
the Hillsboro-F branch. the
Grow Creek branches. all these trains
would be dispatched out Of Greeley,

GRAIN AND GRASS
TO BE PROMINENT
SOURCE OF COLORADO WEALTH
Opinioa ol ". H. Ohm That This is
. wheat Coant1y

For many years Colorado's wealth
has been supposed to be dug out of
the ground In the form of precious
metals.
OF late years 1t has become known
that some wealth 10 dug out of the
ground in the Centennial state in the
form Of potatoes. while more comes
out in the shape Of fruit and melons
says the Record Stockman.
1t 10 the intention Of w. H. Olin,
vice president for Colorado OF the
National Corn Association. to show
that in grains and grasses Colorado
surpasses any other state. and the
wealth taken from it, fields annually
makes the pile Of wealth taken from
the mines In pot luck" days look
small.
Mr. Oiin has sent out 4 letter to
hundreds OF farmers and those inter
ested In other lines Of agriculture,
appealing to them to assist in win
ming honors for Colorado at the Ma
tional Corn Exposition to be held in
Omaha. December 9Th to 18th.
We WOu DcCOuU pl2Co IN one VI
the wheat classes at Omaha last
year" says Mr.. Olin. This was
against the greatest wheat growing
states In the world. We believe Colo
rado 10 one of them. especially after
having our wheat milled and baked
along with other samples. and win
ming second place. This year we
should try and get many nrst premi-
ums on our grains and grasses"
More than $4,000 in premiums
will be offered again this year; over
$500 In the Colorado classes, while
Colorado may compete against the
world for from $4,000 to $4,000
in trophies and cash prizes.
MIR. Olin believes Colorado will
make such a good showing In oats.
that he proposes the growers OF the
state put up an oat trophy to be
awarded to the grower OF the best
oats in the world. And he Is conf
dent that Colorado farmers will
bring II back home with them.

iounGsters in Greeley District Not
Abused by Beet Growers

Joe Wilkinson. who lives in Gree
ley but owns and operates one of
the best farms in this vicinity. said
this morning that the article in Mon
days Tribune from the beet grow
er was absolute truth and could only
have been written by man who had
years or experience in raising beets.
AS good illustration MIR. Wilkinson
mentioned the following incident:
year ago two small bows who
lived on the farm adjacent and aged
10 and IL years, came to him and
asked that they be given contract
to care for an acre of his heels He
was glad to give the Youngsters an
opportunity to prove their worth and
gave them a written contract the
same as he would a man To say
that they were proud is putting II
mildly, according to their f,ther
who reported to Mr.. Wilkinson next
day how the boys had hurried home
with the joyful news that thav vere
gong to earn $50 for Christmas. rhe
boys fulfilled their contract No. good
as many could do and instead of
one acre the same two boys have
taken contract for four arras tnis

MINING MEN DISAPPOINTED.
Governors Veto Kills Fond Hopes OF
Mineral Development in Trans
Pecos Counties.


Special TO the Eagle
San Antonio. Tex. June ll.-Con-
siderable disappointment has been
aroused in Texas by the act OF the
governor in vetoing the mining bill
passed by the last legislature. Un-
fortunately, under the present laws
governing state lands, it is. practically
impossible to develop their natural re-
sources as the individual is not guar
anteed sufficient return for the risk OF
prospecting. These public lands lie,
to a great extent, in Southwest Tex
as. In the mineral belt, in Brewster
county, on privately owned land, has
already been developed the creates,
quicksilver district in the world. These
lands are now in active operation and
immense profits have been taken from
them. IL is a generally admitted fact
that on the adjoining public land
similar quicksilver exists. The same
may be said of the Shafter silver dis
trict where one mine during the last
twenty years has produced silver to the
value of twelve millions of dollars,
The governor held that the law pass
ed contained irrelevan, and unconsti-
tutional subjects. LIS veto means a
check in the mining development ex-
cept on privately owned lands.

though II is twelve months before the
next Democratic State Primary will
nominate its candidates for governor.
there are two or three ayowed can

receptive mood. Judge NJ. NJ.
Brooks and the railroad COM
missioner, o. B. Colquit. who
made the race in 1905 aeains, Gov
ernor Campbell, are already announc-
ed as candidates. Senator n. Bascom
homas, WHO was expelled from the
state senate by reason Of his making
wholesale charges Of bribery and was
afterwards re elected by his consritu-
ents, is telling the people of Texas
what he would do were he governor.
Friends of Senator Bailey are boost
ing him for governor. although the
senator denies that he has any inten-
ton of running.
IL is doubtful il the Bailey issue
will be again uppermost, and probable
that the fight next year will be made,
the safe and sane versus the radical.
The campaign of education carried
on by the Texas Commercial Secre-
taries Association has aroused a wide
spread opposition to legislative regula-
i'on OF private affairs. More liberal
laws are demanded for the Develop
ment of Texas
The prohibition leaders declare
that they will make the question of
state wide prohibition the paramount
issue in the next campaign. IL is
evident that lively scramble will en-
sue for the governors Office.
