Highlandlake
by Mrs. Lizzie Gateley

One of the best farming districts
in Colorado is the Highlandlake
country Crops have been good this
year and things are flourishing and
prospecting The last year marked
improvements have been made. There
are many beautiful modern and up
to-date homes. as convenient in ar
rangement and as artistic in furnish
ing as can be found in city.
Several fine farms have recently
been sold in this locality. the prices
ranging from $50 to $3.50 per acre.
The price of dry farming lanes
has increased this year. for large
crop of wheat was raised this Last
season without irrigation and the
price paid for wheat was exception
ally good.
There was a large acreage OF sugar
beets raised here and the average
this year was fourteen tons per acre
There was also fine corn crops
raised on dry land. Corn from this
district took first prize at several
fairs
Abut every home in this conmun-
ity has telephone and Hlghlnna-
lake has a good graded school OF tao
grades. Professor Reid OF Des
Moines, Ia. is principal and Miss
Smith OF Lexington, Ky. is the as
sistant.

of time until Ault will have a fine
modern. up-to-date school building.
The First National bank reports
larger business than ever before,
with bright outlook for the coming
year. The Farmers National bank
will declare an 8 per cent dividend
payable January !, making CAPT
tai, surplus and profits of $4,000.
This bank was Incorporated in 1898
and has never sustained loss. Some
improvements on the building are
expected to be made soon.
Co c, N. G. c.. begins the new
year with full company. siXty-one
members. Much interest is taken IN
indoor shooting. and by the scores
made, Capt. Gale feels assured the
company will receive the cup this
year. The armory is well equipped
| for gymnasium work. which mas
proved quite an attraction. The busl
ness men expect to reorganize thei'
class soon.
The prosperity of Ault is largely
due to the surrounding rich asri
cultural district. which produces
magnificent crops of alfalfa. oats
barley, wheat, potatoes ana pee's
During the summer, land seekers
were generally shown this part o
the country and seldom failed to eN
press the opinion that the crops mere
were unexcelled by any seen else

Thirty-four miles Iorth of Denver
and eighteen miles south of Greeley
in the beautiful Platte Valley lies
the progressive town of Platteville.
1t is l.S17 feet above sea level and
like all Colorado, shares the climate
and scenic beauty for which the state
is known the world over.
Here too, is water, shade and
grass in abundance. 1t is not neces-
sary to eulogiZe upon these. The
purpose of this article is to tell of
its steady, substantial growth during
the past year.
Cement sidewalk has been laid
throughout the business section and
on the main streets leading to resi-
dence sections. Two fine brick busi-
ness buildings have been erected:
one by NJ. w. Long and the other by
Ben Bolen That his money has been
we'll invested is shown by the fact
that Mr.. Bolen contemplates building
another at once.
The Platteville National bank was
organized by ]. NJ. Kutch AZ state
bank In June. 1908. and continued al
such until June. 1909. when 1T be
came national bank.
A new school building. 32x72 feet
of Boulder pressed brick and a hal
2Ox24 feet. which is so constructed
as to admit stairs from the second
floor when greater capacity is re.
ouired to meet the future demand
for more room. Two rooms are be
ing finished, each 24X3O feet and l.
foot ceilings. Cement foundation:
and wainscoating. all tinlshings are
of natural yellow pine. Each room
will contain bookcase and large
double ventilating tiues with registers
at floor and ceilings, A large, well
lighted basement will be used for fur
mace and fuel room. This building
is ready for use. The enrollmen
has reached 1870 and eleven grade
are taught
A number of good dwellings nav
also been erected. Among these ar
a pressed brick, modern throughout

cottages. T. A. Lewis has put VI

and the remainder will be nut in
shape as soon as the weather permits
From three to five miles of side
walk have been laid this year. The
work is done under the supervision
of the city and in compliance with
the specifications furnished. but each
property owner pays the expense of
laying the walk in front of his own
property.
This year will also be memorable
as the one in which the city park
was laid out and the trees planted.
1t was not considered advisable to
push the work further last summer,
but, it is said, that this spring steps
will be taken to put the park in
shape.
The great industries of the COM
munity have continued uninterrupted,
although this has not been anything
unusual in the way of a crop year

Windsor is the second largest town
in Weld county In point OF popula-
tion and property valuations, and
statistical edition of this kind would
be incomplete without reference to
its progress and improvements dur
ing the past year.
1t is perhaps the only town in the
county that has never experienced a
boom as result of the advent of a
sugar factory. Its greatest growth
has of course followed, but it has
been steady and substantial in the
business and residence districts
During the past year, fifteen to
twenty new cottages and residences
have been built, among the latter
being two or three very pretentious
structures, the aggregate cost of
which reach $4,000. But most i'm
portant progress is manifested in
the public buildings erected. At a
cost of nearly 100000 an addition
to the high school building is now
nearing completion. 1t will give
more than double the former school
room besides providing an auditor
ium on the third floor with seat
ing capacity of 500.
The new town hall was made ready
for occupancy last week, and all de-
partments of municipal government
have moved in. The building is moi
quite complete in every detail, bu
when fully completed will cost abou
$4,000. Yet it is one of the neates
municipal buildings to be seen in an!

Jail. fire engine house, and larg

floor. The auditorium has not bee
finished on the interior, but is bein

; tia company recently formed.
Windsor probably has more ce
a ment sidewalks than any other tow
of its size in Colorado.
Windsor has a 600-ton beet suga

: beets were grown for it the pas
season, and to handle the crop tn

but the greater portion OF it b stiH
in the cellars of the growers. The
market has not been overly brisk
and the extremely cold weather has
prevented shipping.
The wheat crop was exceptionally
good. The yield was good and the
quality excellent as general thing.
An increased acreage by reason Of
the productive dry land farming
south of town added much to the
wealth of the community this year.
The price held closely to the $i5o
mark and the greater portion OF tke
crop was brought to Windsor's lalRe
| Touring mill where it is being ground

Owing to the scarcity of hay and
the high price of lambs only . NV
sheep are being fed this season. In
der ordinary conditions this is Il very
important winter industry and from
$4,000 to 100000 are fattened for
the eastern markets on alfalfa and
beet pulp. Feeders this year have
turned their attention to the fs&-
tening of cattle, and ten to fiftesa
thousand head are on feed in this vi
cinity now.
The clubs OF Windsor are active
and represent no small part of -
ciaI life Of he town. The militia
club has been conducting some very
successful social dances and basket
ball games at the armory, and prom
