that others would follow and that we
might, in short time, have our prairies
full Of them for the benefit of every
body. These birds are not only one OF
the most beautiful birds, but they are
one of the gamiest of game birds.
They will lay well to the dog, and will
hide and take care of themselves in any
kind of country. The meat is very juicy
and far surpasses that of any prairie
chicken or wild grouse, that we have
here. 1t is white and resembles mostly
the meat of the ruffied grouse. They
are very prolific, can stand all kinds of
hardships; don't mind snow or cold
weather, and will do we'll wherever the
prairie chicken will get along. Some of
my birds are so tame, that they will eat
out of the dish that 1 hold i'm my hand.
Their main foods are insects in the sum-
mer time with some seeds of weeds, and
In the winter time the same as prairie
chicken will eat.
Every farmer ought to get few and
let them loose on his farm and protect
them. If any farmers or others are in
terested in the raising of these birds, I
will be very glad at any time to give
them my experiences with them, how l
succeeded the best, where they may get
their stock, and give them all other help
that may be able to.
If each farmer, who has a grove,
would only get one pair, a rooster and a
hen, or still better a rooster and two
hens, in three years his own grove and
land would be full of them, providing
he would see to it, that these miserable
hunters, that are not sportsmen would
be kept out of his field and prosecuted
whenever caught there without permis-
sion. The expenses in acquiring good
start would be very small, and the
trouble almost nothing, if started right
and with good healthy stock. "A. Zet-
litz, in Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.

STORM SEWERS
MATTER OF
FUTURE

With the completion OF the east
side sanitary sewer for which plans
have already been drawn and are now
In the hands of the city council for
final ratification, there will probably
arise q difference Of opinion and
some discussion between city officials
and persons connecting with the
sewer. Being a sanitary sewer. the
city engineer does not believe II will
be feasible for 1t to be used as the
receiving outlet for roof drainage
ard objections will probably be rails
ed when the time comes. A number
OF citizens have stated that their
prime reason for wanting the sewer
was for this purpose.
There being no storm sewers,
these being a problem to be worked
out in the future. there will be much
argument pro and con. but the city
engineer holds that the sanitary sew
er must come first and that 1t should
be used for sanitary purposes only
He also states that II the city hal
built a storm sewer in the district
recently affected by the flood, 1t could
have more than saved the amount
that has been expended In removing
the effects Of the inundation.

GREELEY GROWS
One FAMILY
EACH DAY

No better evidence of the growth
CT Greater Greeley is furnished than
the simple statement that the water
system is adding one private tap
each day for residences. Mayor G.
u. Houston states that this increase
has been consistently steady for sew
eral weeks and that the water de-
partment is kept busy supplying the
dc nanC for new connections.
This may be taken as an indica-
tion that Greeley has been adding q
family a day to her population for
good many months. said Mayor
Houston. AT that rate the popula-
tion of the city is increasing over
900 per year.
The probabilities are that the addi-
tional demands being made upon the
water system will in q short time
create the need for larger piping.
Extensions of the water mains will
soon be required in various direc-
tiOns. another indication that Gree

.HATAUQUAhAY
CoMEho
GREELEY

There may be no chauGuqua In
Greeley.
1t depends upon the, citizens
whether or not the Greeley chautau-
qua shall be success 1r failure
and their support to this excellent
restitution must be given Within the
next two days or all money Tor tick
cts sold will be returned and the
entertainment enterprise / will be
abandoned. At least 1.Oeo tickets
must be disposed of to sbsure the
coming of the chautauqu which
was to have opened Thu1k kday and
today less than 500 had cen sold.
But two days remain foi the COM
mittee. which has been w&fsinR ar
duously. to sell more thAxNkVA tick
cts and it remains for th1 citizens
OF Greeley to say whether or not
the great enterprise shall be sup
PORTED or allowed to die through lack
of interest. The citizens have al
ways come to the fore in emergen-
cies Of this kind and it is believed
they will rally to the support OF the
leaders in the chautauqua move
ment at this time. Every resource
has been employed by the commit
tee and John Doane. Jr.. with his
assistants, have been working almost
night and day.
Wednesday will decide the ques-
tion of chautauqua for Greeley for
many years to come. II the chautau-
qua movement fails this year, there
IA little likelihood that another such
movement will be inaugurated In the
future.

TWO MULES AND HORSE
MYSTERlOUSLY VANISH
FROM LOFViREN CORRAL

Two buckskin mules and bay
mare vanished in most mysterious
fashion from the corrals owned by
John Lofgren at 304 Eleventh avenue
some time during Tuesday night and
the fact that the gate was still closed
and locked when MIR. Lofgren dis
covered the animals were missing
indicates that horse thief visited
the place.
The animals are valuable ones and
their disappearance was reported to
the police next morning. There were
several other horses In the corrals
and Mr.. Lofgen Is positive that a
human hand must have been instru-
mental in releasing the three.

Ihe grain harvest is always later

the expression of a number of repre-

fund and this fund is kept up by
taxes that apply as much to the man
who owns no vehicle as to the man
that does. One citizen presents the
very excellent argument that after
the streets have been built by citi-

Der of the Wilson family, Mrs Eiiza-
beth Wilson ran one-half mile to a
telephone to notify Deputy SheriH
Peterson of the impending tragedy
summoning him to the assistance OF
her husband, whom it is stated the
hotheaded youth had threatened to
kill unless he paid him 500 OF mon
ey due him for labor in the beet
fields. Deputy Sheriff Peterson
reached the scene of the quarrel IN
time to avert a shooting and Hay
good was lodged in the county jail
last night on a charge OF assault
with a deadly weapon.
This is the second time within the
past few weeks that Haygood has
been in the limelight. a short time
ago he eloped with 5-year-old
girl and was married by street
preacher who had no authority TO
perform the ceremony. Later, after
relatives had interfered in the near
relations of the couple, a /
second and proper marriage ceremony |
was performed.
During the summer Haygood has /
been employed on the Wilson farm. /
He had signed a contract to receive
such a portion of his earnings as his
employer could spare prior to the
telling of the beet crop and had re-
'eived about $50. Yesterday he
made demand for s100 of his mon
y and was offered $50. This he
efused and securing the gun he
gain visited the Wilson farm.

In connection with the suggested
