Two Miles Walk Laid

On the first of January last, ac-
cording to the report of the street
com missioner, there were six miles
OF concrete sidewalk in Greeley. An
other two miles has been added since
the first of the year. The permits
issued since March, when the con-
tractors started to work, shows to-
tai of two miles installed. About
one mile of new curb has also been
laid.
AT the present rate of installation
there will be at least twelve miles
of concrete walk in Greeley by the
first of the year. The average price
of this walk is IL cents square
foot and at least 90 per cent cheaper
than in Denver or the surrounding
towns The supply of gravel and
sand in this vicinity is a large factor

Worlds Fair Rush

If the grounds to the system chat
tauquas had been provided with turn
stiles l,250,000 paid admissions
would have been recorded during
the summer OF 1908. The admission
tickets, tiny as is each one, if placed
end for end would reach from Omaha
to Chicago.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars worth
of equipment, and ten private cars
are included in the 1908 inventory
and during the summer of 1909 this
will be nearly doubled.

Yer Saturday to investigate the child
labor story which was so much eX
aggerated by Mrs. Mary C. C. Brad
ford and other Exclusive club wom-
en-" of Denver some ten days ago.
The party included, besides the
member OF the legislature, Mrs. j. S.
Appel, Mrs. Van Wagenan and Mrs.
LentZ and they remained at the
Tribune Office some half hour dis
cussing the beet labor proposition.
They have already questioned a
number of children in the field and
will make a thorough investigation

different story to the Denver paper
than was circulated by the distorted
imagination of the club women.
