We find that severe attacks of collie
often are caused by allowing the hot,
tired horse to eat grass at the road
side when he has made long trip to
town.
The trouble, too, is prone to come
on when horses are suddenly fed new
hay or new oats Both new hay and
new oats should be fed in small guam
titles gradually at first, and along
with old hay and oats until the horses
become accustomed to the change.
Either the new feed Is so palatable
that the horse eats too much of It,
or 1t contains some ferment that sets
up indigestion and formation of gas.
Water very seldom causes collie.
Nature intends horses to have all of
1t they want, at any and all times
and SO provided it does no harm. We
nay cause trouble by withholding
drinking water for long periods Of
time and then forcing the hot. tired

State Authorities Must Act Quick to
Save EIms and chestnuts.
Says Forester.

Trenton, N. ALFRED E. Gaskill
state forester. said the other day that
the chestnut trees in New Jersey are
suffering from fatal disease, due to
infection by the elm leaf beetle and
while he admits nothing can be done
with the malady, he says all efforts
possible should be made to rid the
state of the insect. He predicts New
Jersey will be treeless unless the state
and municipal authorities and the resi-.
dents In general combine by next
spring in an extraordinary effort to
drive out the elm leaf beetle.~
The forester added:
This Is the last time for the people
of New Jersey who want their elms
to stand to get at the work of saving
them. l mean Just what / say. The
last call is out, for unless something
is done next May and in the first two

Xmas in Greeley 40 Year. Ago

How many Greeley people remem-
ber Christmas time in Greeley forty
years ago? 1t must have been a
rather dreary one. on the whole. for
that little band of colonists. camped
on the bleak prairies along the Cache
la Poudre and the Platte. some of
them thousands of miles from their
old homes, and most Of them with
rather slim purses. with none too
much clothing or fuel or food.
Reference to the files OF the Gree
ley Tribune for the week immediate
ly before and following that first
Christmas in Greeley's history finds
those issues of the paper singularly
devoid of mention Of local doings OF
the holidays. The greater space OF
the number following Christmas is
given up to speech on temperance
made by some fellow back in Massa-
chusetts. and wrangle in town
meeting over colony affairs.
Pioneer memories are good, how
ever, and the Tribune would like
every reader who was at that time a
resident OF Greeley to send at once
an account OF any incident that oc-
Cured at that time; such as dinners,

FIRST SPUDS
IN GREELEY?

Editor Greeley Tribune:
l note in your issue of recent date
An extract from a letter written by
John Ii. Gordon OF Cheyenne, Wyo.,
who was an early settler in Greeley
and who claims to have planted the
hrst Greeley potatoes, stating among
other things that he arrived in Gree
ley on April 20. 1870. etc.
Mr.. Gordons article is somewhat
misleading because it infers he was
probably the earliest settler to arrive
after the locating committee and
that he was the only one to plant
potatoes in Greeley during the first
year OF the colony's existence. For
your information l beg to advise that
1 arrived in Greeley from the New
York Tribune Office on April 21,
1870, therefore preceding Mr.. Cord
on eight days. and preceding the
erecting of the board shanty Tor
the engineers to store their instru
ments at night.
I worked with the engineer laying
out the town of Greeley and when
We first started our instruments were
stored at the tie shanty on the banks
of the Poudre, which was below the
railroad bridge, and which was the
only habitation at that time.
would say further that H. c.
Watson, George and Frank Hanna
and myself owned residence block
together and planted potatoes the
Arst season after our arrival in
Greeley. 1t may be true that Mr..
Gordons potatoes were planted a
few days earlier than ours, although
I doubt it very much unless he can
give specific dates. However, that
matters little. simply want to bring
out the point that Mr.. Gordon was
not the "only pebble on the beach"
during the early history OF the town
OF Greeley.
Yours truly,

GREELEY PIONEER AMONG
THE NEWSPAPER MEN

Among the Denver Press club
members enjoying few hours in
Greeley yesterday was one who is
, well remembered by the old timers
here. He is Lord Ogilvy. who %
years ago was a large land owner
and stock breeder in Weld county
but who is now a special writer on
the Denver Post.
Many will remember the fine
horses of days gone by that were
raised by his lordship and those who
recalled the early days grew remi-
nicent when the tall form of Ogilvy
doomed up in the crowd.
| Anecdotes without number are
told illustrating the eccentricities of
the famous Englishman when he
| was younger than he is now. 1t is
| said that on one occasion his lord
ships slumbers were disturbed in
one of the leading hote's in Greeley
by party playing cards in the room
directly over his. He complained to
the clerk several times. but instead
of growing less the noise above in
creased. Finally his lordship grabbed
shot gun he had with him and let
go with both barrels through the
ceiling. 1t Is needless to add that
the card game and noise ceased in
stantly.
Ogilvy was well known figure
at the races. He spent his large In

the grown men OF Greeley can re-

among the youngsters just to see
them scramble for It,

peared In the person OF William

A CUMBERLAND REscRlpT.
Sets Aside Common Law Doctrine Of
Private Ownership OF Ponds.

The law court Thursday handed
down rescript in the Cumberland
county case of Frederick O. Cunant IT
ais. VS.. Edward ID. Jordan ct ais. The
rescript which is drawn by Justice
Savage sets aside the doctrine of the
English common law rejecting the
private ownership of ponds Of more
than 10 acres. Its full text is as fol-
lows:
l. Under the common law of this
State. based in part upon the Col
onis,l Ordinance of 1641-7 of Massachu-
sets, and in part upon the uSages
and customs of the early inhabitants,
the title to all great ponds containing
more than ~ acres is in the STATE for
the use of the public.
,. The public have the right of free
fishing and fowling upon Great Pond
in Cape Elizabeth. which contains more
than 10 acres, although the territory
in which the pond is situated was held
in private ownership as early as 1881
and has so continued until the present
time.
3. The common law of England has
never been in force in this State eX-
cept as far as it has been adopted in
the usages and customs OF the people.
4. The doctrine of the English com
mon law respecting private, ownership
of ponds has never been recognized
nor adopted in this State so far as
ponds of more than 10 acres are con-
cerned. and fishing and fowlinS upon
them has been free from the beginning
Ril dismissed, with one bill Of costs.
