Greeley's Great strides

"On account OF a future reaction,
do hope that Greeley is not upon
the eve OF those inflated booms."
said Judge Jacobs to Tribune re-
porter last evening when speaking OF
the great strides Greeley has made
In the past six months In buildings.
railroads. irrigation projects. COM
nercial interests and. in fact. the
unprecedented activity In every
branch Of industry
''At the present time" said Mr..
Jacobs, the lawyers or the county
treasurer could give the best evi-
dence az to the interest people all
over the country are taking In the
Greeley district and to the distance
that the news of our prosperity has
travelled. Not a day passes but SOME
CT the lawyers receive abstracts Or
communications from parties at .
d stance requesting them to redeem
their property which has been sold
for delinquent taxes. Some of these
people moved away years ago, but
are now sorry and would like to get
back the holdings which they thought
were of little value when they let
CO.. Lawsuits to quiet title will be
much In evidence at the next term
of court and many of the men who
thought they had cheap tax titles
will have to relinquish for the usual
margins"
This is only an evidence of the
wide advertising Greeley has receiv-
ed and there is some trepidation that
the boom may exceed our customary
conservative advance.

ca. MIR. West 10 the oldest settler
here by one month. He arrived with
the locating committee February ),
1870. and came to stay April the
same year. His wife came in the
fall.
MIR. West started the first bank
north of Denver. the company being
known as the Emerson, West Y
buckingham. The bank was later
succeeded by the Greeley National.
MIR. West retired number of years
ago and has spent his time quietly
at home. reading and writing. Mr..
West stated that morning that they
would have no celebration of the day
They are always at home to the many
friends who call to express good
wishes and congratulations.
Mr. and Mrs. West have three

do the work II Japs and children
could not be procured for that work.
She says the Japs underbid the

She says that the Japs subsist on

perhaps the most ludicrous state
ment of all and any Greeley mer-
chan will vouch for the fact that the
jap spends more for food. clothing
ard even diversion than the ordinary
American, and in this respect there
is not the slightest comparison with
other foreign elements. He would
buy strawberries In January II he
could get them and he would laugh
at the merchant who shows him less
than a $25 suit of clothes. There
are other and better reasons why we
should like to dispense with his serv-
ices. in large numbers, but under
existing conditions his presence is
Inevitable. 4ne Jap comes In June
and leaves in November. Twice the
inducement would not bring the
y hite man in sufficient quantities for
tt Is short period.
There IL but a small amount of
work in the beet and spud fields that
can be accomplished by children.
There Is not one case in 5000 where

is always reported to the proper au-
thorities.

one of the inevitable results OF
the enormous sales of farming land
that have been made In northern
Colorado within the past few months
has been wonderful growth in the
small towns in the districts affected
and the laying out and building of
q number of new towns in the raw
prairies.
There is scarcely a town within
twenty-five miles to the north or
south of Greeley that has not shared
to some extent in this growth, and
the population of many small settle
ments has been doubled. This Is
true of the entire section between
Denver and the Wyoming line, where
the activity of the real estate market
has been greatly augmented by the
building of numerous railroad and
street railway lines.
The Denver, Laramie & North
western railroad. building rapidly in
to the fertile territory between Wy
oming and Denver, is laying out nu-

wonderful growth. The Union Pa
cific is pushing work on three lines
in the neighborhood of Greeley.
where half dozen towns have
sprung up. 1t is stated on good au-
thority that the Burlington Interur-
ban Railway company will begin
work at once on the construction of
line from Greeley to hudson, and
will locate one or two new towns
between. In fact it is stated that
the Burlington will be before our
city council in the next week or two
asking for concessions.
Many things have added to the de-
n,aAd for lands in the neighborhOod
of Hudson, and it has experienced .
rapid growth in the past few months.
At the present time several new
buildings are being planned, includ-
ing large Office building for the
Investment company.
which is selling irrigated lands in
the neighborhood of that town.

A Vegetable Cow.

The Japanese have discovered a

the milch COW in the form Of a tiny
bean. The juice extracted by spe-
cial process from the bean Is said to
be an excellent vegetable milk, the
properties of which render 1t highly
suitable for use in tropical countries.
The preparation is obtained from
the Sofa bean, member of the legu-
minous family of plants, and very
popular article of food among the
poorer classes of Chinese and Japa-
nese. In making the vegetable milk
the beans are first of all softened by
soaking and are then pressed and
boiled in water. The resultant liquid
is exactly similar to cows milk In ap-
pearance, but Is entirely different in
its composition. This Sofa bean milk
contains 92.5 per cent water, 3.02 per
cent protein, 2.13 per cent fat, 0.03

Trouble In the Royal Palace.

The Shakespeare Club of New Or
leans used to give amateur theatrical
performances that were distinguished
for the local prominence Of the actors.
Once social celebrity with a gor-
geous costume, as one Of the lords in
waiting, had only four words to say:
"The queen has swooned" AS he
stepped forward, his friends applauded
vociferously Bowing his thanks, he
faced the king and said, in very
hieh-pitched voice, "The swoon has
queened."
There was roar Of laughter; but
he waited patiently, and made another
attempt:
"The sween has cooned."
Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said, in a voice which
could be heard all over the house,
Come off, you doggoned fool!"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in rasping falsetto,
as he was assisted off the stage, he
screamed: "The coon has sweened."-
