Five Thousand in Six Weeks

Nearly i've thousand settlers have
come to Colorado in, the last six
weeks and filed on government land
il the state. according to reports re-
ceived at the federal land Office in
Denver yesterday
The land office at Sterling has
broken the record for all entries in
its history. Up to the present date
over 1000 settlers have filed on $50
acres of land under the Mondell act
with nearly that many more ex-
| ected the middle of July
In the Denver district 500 have
on land. while in the dis
tricts of Hugo. Lamar and Pueblo the
average runs from 700 to 1000 in
the six weeks that the land has been
thrown open. To date 100000
acres have been taken up.
Judge Armour at Sterling SAYS he
has never experienced such rush
in his many years of work in fed
eral land offices. and declares the
record is the best ever accomplished
N any one district.

Rails ON the Way

The rails for the new Crow Greek
extensions of the Union Pacific are
row on their way to Greeley. They
are being shipped from the main
line between North Platte and Grand
Island. where ninety-pound rails are
being installed. The old rails will
te brought here, as the company
never lays new rails on fresh
grade. The constant settling of
new grade always warps the rails
and for this reason old rails are al
ways used.
The piling for all the bridges is
complete and the timbers will be
placed and ready for rails by July
10. 1t was the intention to start
track laying on July l, but the bolts
and tie plates will not reach here
until week later, which has occa-
stoned slight delay. The supply
track at White City will be connected
with the Grow Creek branches and
the rails will not be removed from
the cars, but will be laid ahead oi
the first train at the rate OF mile
a day.

RAILROAD NEWS
NEAR HILLSBORO
GRADE BEING RAPIDLY PUSHED
Both Union Pacific and Laramie Are
Laying Out Townsites

II. r. English took an automobile,
party to Hillsboro Tuesday to view
the grading which is being pushed
by both the Union Pacific and the
Denver-Laramie. From LaSalle TO
Hillsboro, and especially in the God
frey bottoms, the crops are at least
two weeks ahead of anything around
Greeley, except perhaps Pleasant
Valley.
The beet acreage in that vicinity
Is much greater than it was last year
and there is little doubt that the next
sugar factory erected in northern
Colorado will be at the Union Paci-
fic's townsite one mile east and south
of Hillsboro.
The Denver-Laramie has about 500
acres just east of the old townsite
OF Hillsboro and w. R. Adams has
about 200 acres adjoining. The rail
road company has several teams at
work grading the main street and
ploWlng burrows to represent the
other streets in the townsite. Before
this land was purchased it was all
planted to alfalfa, wheat, oats and
"."Si >iOp0' L Ae tOlupd0y tore the
fences all down and the farmers for
miles around drive their horses and
cattle to the cultivated pasture and
they are waxing fat.
The main line of the D., l.. & n
W. is headed directly towards Fort
Collins and yesterday men and teams
we're working on that extension. At
the new townsite of Hillsboro a
branch leaves the main line and
curves back in the direction of Gree
ley. Men and teams are also at
work on this line and about a half
mile has been completed. In the
other direction towards Collins the
grade is completed to the bank of
the Big Thompson. The piles and
timhers across that stream were all
placed last week and are now ready
to receive the rails. From the di-
rection the road is now taking at
Hfllsboro there is no doubt but that
the line to Greeley is merely a
branch.
The Union Pacific runs in a direct
line southwest from LaSalle and
crosses the Denver-Laramie about
two miles southeast of Hillsboro and
then continues south to meet the
line at Dacona. Near the point
where they meet the Union Pacific

Sensational Reports Recently
Published in IA Denver Pa
per by Excited Denver
Society Women

Stirred by the appalling report OF
Mrs. Mary c. c, Bradford and other
Denver club women who came TO
this section some two weeks ago to
investigate the condition OF child
labor in the beetneds. Alma b. Laf-
ferty of the state legislature. Mrs,
j. S. Appel. Mrs. Van Waggenan
and Mrs Lentz OF Denver came to
Greeley Saturday afternoon in the
J. S. Appel auto to either verify or
discredit the report of the Mrs. Brad
ford committee. A short mention Of
the visit appeared in the Tribune of
Saturday.
The ladies secured an escort here
who took them to the numerous
beetfields, where they spent some
three hours questioning the Rus
slams, Japs, and children.
Upon their return 10 town Mrs.
Lafferty said. Il wish every child in
Denver from the age of or 5 to 6 |
could come to the beetfelds and thin |
heets during the season, which We |
find lasts but thirty days in the
spring and thirty days in the fall.
They found conditions jpst thu op-
posite of the report which has been
sent out They had the impression
before coming here that the children
worked under the Jap contractors,
and were surprised to learn that the
children themselves were contract
ors in many instances, and where
this was not the case the boys and
girls worked in the same field as
their fathers and mothers. =
They also questioned the little J,
ones about pulling beets, over which =
the former committee felt so much |
aggrieved anent the strenuous lab ,
ors of the little ones. One little fell :,
low laughed and said there was no
such thing as pulling beets" He n
stretched out his arms to estimate ~
he length of a fair sized beet and L
informed his interrogation who hap
,ened to be Mrs. Appel, that an ele-
,hant couldn't pull out beet, He
hen explained how the long. two y
,ronged plow digs up the beets and ="
ays them in rows on the surface II
Mrs. Lafferty stated that she g
would write her observations for the
Denver press. which will no doubt do
much to correct the impression in
Denver that the beetfields are pro- II
noters of child slavery U

Mountain Brought to Mahomme

When Bishop Vincent first con
ceived the idea of establishing n
college of liberal arts under the
beautiful trees on the banks of Lake
Chautauqua he gave to the Ameri-
can people heritage that far ex-
ceeded his fondest hopes.
The mother chautauqua has
grown until its influence is felt in
every part OF the land. So widely
has the chautauqua idea spread that
there is demand for local assem-
bly, from every intellectual, amb-
tlous community. In the groves by
Lake Chautauqua still lives the in
81 iration of the assembly movement.
fut it is not possible for all to make
may not go to the mountain, the
mountain is brought to Mahommet
Hence the circuit plan of holding
chautauqua assemblies in the var
icus sections of the middle west
where the taste and degree of cul-
ture demands.
Unlike the circus. and right here
let 1t be understood that the Amer
ican people have no quarrel with
the circus, because 1t is divertng
and entertaining. as we'll as instruc-
tive, in many ways--but unlike the
circus, the chautauqua is more of
permanent feature. Where the
chautauqua idea has once taken
firm root 1t cannot be unearthed.
Your chautauqua demands the
hearty support OF the best people
in the community; not the wealthy
people altogether, but the intelli-
gent, aspiring people who mean to
make the best of every opportunity.

Father O'Ryan


Rev. William O'Ryan of St Ieo,s
church OF Denver spoke from the
viewpoint OF the churchman and elm
cidated many of the dogmas of the
Catholic faith. He dwelt at length
upon the fact that the worship os
Catholics today is identical in every
portion OF the globe and is not differ
ent from what 1t was nineteen hun
dred years ago. He touched upon
the sacrament Of the Holy Eucharist.
which is really the dividing point
between professionalism and the
church of Rome.
Father Organ first saw Greeley
twenty-one years ago. He was call
ed here to attend a man who was
dying and he gave his impressions
OF the Greeley of that date and the
Greeley of today.
At the morning service the Bishop
confirmed a class of thirty-two chill
dren and several converts. He also
delivered the sermon explaining the
divine significance of the sacraments
of communion and confirmation.

ter to stand with those who fight

feated. than with the triumphant
hosts of corrupt and Goddess peo-
pie; it is better to occupy humble
position with those laboring for our
moral institutions than to occupy a
seat of honor among those trying
to tear them down.
What do the devotees of skepti-
csm, anarchy and atheism offer in
exchange for the destruction of our
temples? They can point to nothing
in history that will take the place OF
our present liberty and christian
civilization. The votaries of infidel-
ity and the red flag can point to no
institution of learning which they
have reared or endowed for the bet
terment of the human race; and yet.
they attempt to uproot the founda-
tions on which the superstructure
of our institutions rest Any insti-
tuition which has for its object the
betterment and advancement of the
race should be fostered and en-
couraged by all fair thinking men.
Hopefully we view the dawn of a
better day when good feeling, good
fellowship and good will toward all
men will permeate all our religious
bodies; when bigotry and senseless
sectarian prejudice will be a thing
of the past or exist only as mem
ory; when all just men can meet
and make common cause against
common enemy of mankind and
when all churchmen of different de-
nominations can meet and unite in
their efforts for the betterment and
well-being of all the people. Let us
keep in touch with the glorious
spirits of those. who, in the past.
devoted their lives to the common
cause of religious and political lib
erty.
