Thriving Town of Pierce

Few towns in the county can boast
of a population that has doubled in
the past year, increasing from 200
to 400, and can also boast of nearly
100000 worth of buildings erected
in the twelvemonth. But this is the
record that Pierce has made, and in
view of the location of the town, the
advantages offered homeseekers. the
extensive improvements, instituted by
the Union Pacific. and the promises
held out by the promoters of the
Greeley-Poudre irrigation district, it

that before the year of 1910 is past
Pierce will be incorporated.
$4,000 school house and

far from $4,000 has been spent on

Among other buildings at the Spur
are private residences, the Windsor
sugar factory scale house and beet

the Won Trotha brothers own both
a touring car and a runabout.

out OF the townsite, the erection of
store IA depot, scales and other ia
cilities for handling potatoes: a two
story business block, seven residences

blacksmith shop and the organiza-
tion of the First National bank.
In one month this fan over $4,000

It often happens that a
