A THREE-RING SHOW Is COMING
The Observation-Disclosures Combined
Shows to Exhibit Here Soon

The representative of the Hagen
beck Wallace Combined Shows have
completed all arrangement for the
appearance of that world-famous en-
terprise in Greeley on June 16.
For more than a decade the Great
Wallace Shows have maintained a
prominent place in the front rank
Of American shows because of it's
unusual characteristics as a circus,
its essential quality of different
from other shows" it's fine menag-
erie and its great display of the fin
est horses in the word. The Carl
Hagenbeck Trained Animal Shows,
which have worldwide reputation
and which were enjoyed by many
people of this country at two of the
worlds fairs, are conceded to be
without an equal in their special line.
What then may be expected when It
is announced that we are to be treat
ed to such an exhibition as the COM
bination of these two shows? Surely
the patrons of tented amusements
will be justified in expecting an un-
usually meritorious performance. and
they will see surprising exhibitions
of trained animals and skillful per
formers such as they have never be
fore witnessed. The Hagenbeck
Wallace Shows are cosmopolitan II
character, and II any show is capabl
OF TSl6asing all classes of people. the
this one does.
The Hagenbeck-Wallac Show
will positively exhibit in Greeley, ol
June 16, giving a grand spectacula
street parade in the morning an
performances in the afternoon AM
evening.

WILL BOOST
YOUR TAXES
ASSESSORS WILL RAISE VALUE
More Money is Needed to Run til,
State Machinery

Denver, June S.-Governor Shat
the revenues of the state from the
meeting of the county assessors
which took place recently in Denver.
The committee appointed to work in
conjunction with the state board o!
equalization to get one-third valua-
tion of property throughout the state
in reality and not in name only, met
yesterday in the offices of the boar
and went over the whole situation il
order to arrive at a uniform basis OF
taxing real and personal propert
The members of the committee de-
clare themselves to be in earnest and
will do it's part in making full as
sessment and seeing that the other
assessors do tie same.
Each assessor has been asked to
submit an estimate of railroad and
other property in his county to the
board of equalization and the COM
mittee of three assessors, so that
the board may use this in arriving
at the valuation that Wal be fixed
upon rdllTOdO property.
Governor Shafroth talked with the
members of the committee and is en-
couraged in the outlook for an in
crease in the revenue. He believes
that the estimated value OF the state )
property will be raised from $375,-
OOO, 900, last years figures. to $3.50
600, 900. 1T this is done by the as
SCISSORS the general revenues will be
raised 100000. Half of this will
go to the state institutions, as they
have two and eleventwentieths OF
the 4 mill levy for general purposes
The remainder will leave about
slSO,O0O to be added to the general
revenues and the governor believes
that this amount will pay OFF. all
legislative bills of the first, second
and third classes. The educational
hills. in the third class. will thus all
receive their appropriations. The
bill creating a state home for mental
detectives has been changed from the
second to the third class. 1t had
been classed as charitable institu-
tion but it states that the inmates
shall be trained and upon the
strength of this word it was placed
in the third or educational class.
But if the county assessments are as
rieh as the governor expects 1t wiz
be paid.

STERLING PAPERS
MAKING Big KICK
SAY TOWN NOT SERVED RloHT
Object to Greeley Firms SupplyinG
Contractors On Big Project

The Sterling press IL very much
agitated because the Condon-Thomp-
son Supply company is furnishing the
supplies for the grading outfits that
are now constructing the North Ster-
ling irrigation system. They think
their own merchants are being dis
criminated against. and even went %
far as to take the matter up with Mr..
Camtield OF the Empire Construction
company. MIR. Camfeld informed tAs
Sterling papers that the Empire Co.'S
struction company had nothing to DO
with the supply company and that
the sub-contractors could buy their
supplies where they pleased.
In big projects of this kind 1t 10
absolutely necessary that commits
sary department be established close
to the work and that the agents be
upon the ground to tend to the needs
of the contractors. with whom time
means money.
Greeley mas the same proposition
at the present time with the new
Union Pacific extensions upon which
a million and half Is being expend-
ed. Fitzpatrick Bros. have the COM
missary and supply over twenty diff
ferent contractors and they do not
go outside Greeley for any purchase
which it is possible to make here.
The commission houses and the farm
ers furnish the potatoes and the local
: mills furnish the -four, and the writer
saw one grocery order Saturday for
$3.50. They get wholesale prices
! and they charge the contractor 10
per cent, not only for commission.
; but for carrying the contractor two
, and three months at a time, as En-
t,mates and payments are not made
ofterer.
Mr. Condor says that his company
is handling all goods on 10 per cent
basis and that it required a capital
! stock of s5o,0o0 to equip the COM
missary.
There will probably be thirty or
forty contractors on the Sterling pro-
+ ject. If all the merchants in Ster-
ling were carrying these contractors
\. upon their books and expected the
Empire Construction company to
guard their accounts, that company
E would need score of bookkeepers
n for that purpose alone.
,e Mr.. Condor says he does not go
rs outside of Sterling to make any pur-
r. chase except where that town has 40
in wholesale market.
o. The Thompson company
a. will also establish a commissary for
ts the big eeley-Poudre project which
ct will be started next month.

ONION GROWERS SUED.
Roy Campbell Summoned Before a
Federal Court to Explain.

San Antonio, Oct. 21.-ROy Camp
bell sales agent for the South Tex
as Onion Growers Association, re
turned to San Antonio Wednesday
morning from New York, where he
had been summoned before a Federal
court on the question of an ad va
loren tariff duty claimed by the
government.
The South Texas Onion Growers
Association was recently assessed a
fine of 1851 to satisfy an ad valo-
rem tariff DUTY said to be que the
government of the United States.
The association buys its Bermuda
onion seed at Teneriffe, Bermuda
and supplies it to its membership
through its sales agent department.
The difference in duty results from
what the government holds is the
difference in the price paid by the
association to the Teneriffe dealers.
] All agent u luG 1ulcIudl GNtN tuuC
Department testified before the New
York judge that he had increased
the price of onion seed from 80 cents
TO 81 and $1.25 per pound. The i'm
portation of onion seed amounted tC
eight tons
Mr., Campbell said upon his ar
rival here that no decision had beeI
reached by the court at the time he
left New York City, but he was Of
tins opinion that the South Texa;
Onion Growers Association would b,
compelled to pay the fine.
The whole thing was brought
about by the underpricing of seed
ana nothing wrong was done by the
association Intentionally" said 1T
Campbell.

1t is generally agreed that large
as the shipment of cotton from
Texas ports is today. it viii be great
ly increased as soon as the Panama
Canal is completed There is going
to be an enormous increase from
now on, and the question is this
why should the raw cotton be sent
abroad to be manufactured and then
shipped back to US
The great profit IS not taken from
the raw product, but from the MAJ
ufactured goods. The numerous
fortunes of mill men in New Eng
land and Old England prove this to
be true, the failure of cotton raisers
over the South TO get more than y
close living out OF their business
confirming the evidence.
There are great possibilities in
store for this part Of the countrs.
and one of the greatest OF these rs
