Latter Badly Needed in
This County

The bill to classify Weld county
and make it a second class county
passed the second reading in the
house Monday. The bill was intro
duced by Harrison Teller, and ~
there are eight other counties who
have bills for practically the same
purpose before the legislature It IL
more than likely that they will all
be passed.
There is some question however.
as to whether the salaries would af-
feet the present incumbents, ~ \
salary can not be raised during the
term of Office Of any employe. On
the other hand, 1t IL contended that
the salaries are not raised. but the
county itself being placed in its
proper class, it follows that the sal
aries must also be consistent
This law will not only raise the
salaries, but will give each once ad-
ditional assistance in the way Of
clerks. The sheriff's Office and the
county judges Office have about half
the force that is necessary to run
the business of the offices.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for
county fairs was also passed upon
second reading.

Demented Man Finally Finds Relief
From SuflerinRs

Man Finally Finds Relief
From Suf|erings
Willard l.. Dickinson, the man who
arrived in Greeley week ago in a
demented condition. died at the coun-
ty hospital at midnight Saturday.
His death was due to paralytic
stroke and the county physician is
OF the opinion that he had a slight
attack while on the train coming
here, which affected his mind. The
idea that the man had been drugged
is no longer retained.
Dickinson was 3S years old and
his home is in Bridgewater, 8. ID.
He was in the last stages of con-
sumption and came here for his
health. A telegram from his wife
asked that the body be buried here
as she was without funds to have I
shipped to Dakota. The man had
$76 on his person and this will be
used to give him respectable in
terment. The man was in a semi
stupor all the time he was at thu
hospital and when the severe strok'
came Saturday night his death wa
almost instantaneous.

BUILDING NEW CHURCH
Old Structure. GOne-Fine Colonial
Building to Go Up

The large temporary frame struc-
ture which has been used by the
First Christian church will be torn
down this week preparatory u
the erection of one of the finest edi-
| fees in Greeley. The prospectus for
the new church has been submitted
and accepted and Wayne Patterson
is now completing the plans. The
start was made Monday in remoN-
ing the old structure and making
the excavations.
The new church will be something
novel in the way of church editice.
Instead of following the regular lines
of gable roof and steeple. it will take
the shape of an immense auditorium,
and though much larger in size, will
have somewhat the appearance ot
the city library. The cost is esti-
mated at $4,000, and Il goodly por-
ton o. this is already on hand. The
building will be ooXS5 and the height
will be forty feet to the cornice.
The ground in that vicinity
somewhat seepy, so that the base
ment, which will be fourteen feet
high. will be only three feet under
ground. This will place the audi
torium floor some twelve feet above
the surface and will be reached by
handsome marble steps. The twelve
feet of basement over ground will
be made of green enameled brick
and from that line up the walls will
be OF white pressed brick.
The architecture will follow the
colonial style throughout and this
will be among the largest
of the many to be completed in Gree
ley this summer.
The Rev Dubber and the men AT
the head of the Christian church have
for many months been working un-
ceasingly with this end in view and
the new structure will be crown
ing monument to their efforts.

Charles P. Williams. who is en-
ployed by the government in the
reclamation service, has finished his
quest for expert irrigationists here
and left for Denver Monday He
examined over twenty-five applicants
and viii report about ten of these
for acceptance, which is as good ~
If their contract was signed.
Mr.. Williams will recommend only
the men Of the broadest experience
and these. if they make good, will
be given permanent and lucrative
positions in the reclamation service
as superintendents, ditch riders and
agricultural instructors, who Will
school the new homesteaders in ir-
rigation farming.
The money derived by the govern
ment from the sale of public lands
is under the new law diverted to the
reclamation service. but must be util-
lied within the state where such
money was acquired. At the pres
ont time the government has irri-
cation projects under way in thir-
teen states and territories. Mr.. Will
liams ia attached to what is known
az the northern division OF the ser
vice. which includes the Shoshone
project, which will ultimately re-
deem some 10000 acres; the Lower
Yellowstone project in northern Moh-
tana with $1,000 acres all but 2,ooo
of which is owned by private capital;
the Huntley enterprise with 10000
acres, $4,000 of which belongs 70
the government: the Milk River
project. also of Montana and ah
owned by private capital. and two
big schemes in North Dakota. which
will be operated by the pumpins
rather than the gravity system,
The Shoshone proposition is proba-
bly, the only project that would IN

ties and there is no one so dlssat-

thirty or forty dollars for land ana
the same price for water.
In the Shoshone district there are
now $1,000 acres open for home

there are also other requirements
which come under the reclamation
act. Each settler is allowed from
