Freight Rates Reduced Monday
(From Mondays Daily

NEIOm NOHuay AnAiS
Effective today a reduction In
freight rates from Chicago and St.
Louis points to Greeley goes into ef-
feet. The first class rate from Chi
cago will be reducted 25 cents per
hundred weight and from st. Louis
23 cents. All OF the common points
OF Colorado are affected.
The chief beneflciaries under the
new rates are the dry goods, hard
ware and clothing men. The grocery
men will be the least affected. as
most of their shipments are from
nearer points and come in car load
lots under special commodity rates.
The reduction will he OF benefit to
the county in that the saving thus
effected by the merchants will be re-
flected in prices made to consumer
Naturally the reductions will not be
great, in that the freight charges as
rule amount to less than ten pei
cent of the cost OF the article. Ten
or twelve per cent OF this amount be-
comes small proportions In n single
instance, but figured for all OF the
merchants annually 1t amounts to a
large saving.

EDITOR JOHN NOTEWORTHY
BEHlND PRISON BARS AGAIN
1.-The lark Is up to meet the sun
The bee Is on the wing
The ant his labor has begun
The woods with music ring"

This is not the recitation by little
Willie at the boys oratorical con-
test at Sunday school. but the exhu-
berance of a poetical soul finding
voice at the city Jail when breakfast
was served this morning. The poetry
was not sudden inspiration brought
by the hot coffee, but rather a nor
NAL attitude of the prisoner. one

tor OF The Insurgent, now guest of
the city while awaiting trial on the
charge OF being drunk and disorder

guage. resisting an officer and des-
troying city property.
When not regaling the jailor
with fragments of verse from the
classics, the distinguished prisoner
bursts into bits of song including
"Si1ver Threads Among the Gold" :"
chorus OF THE Grizzly Bear"
Although he has spent several
days behind the bars, his buoyant
spirit is not dampened in the least.
He maintains a cheerfulness that

joust with the laws oppressors.

calm and firm under the slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune: he

Lost Returns Show Up

At last the lost is found and now
there is a chance that Weld county
will not be last with its official count
on the election of November s. Al
ter a four days chase in an automo-
bile County Clerk Luther and JUS
tices of the Peace O'Connor and
Pressly located the missing precinct
returns, had the judges properly
certify to the ballots and thought
that all was we'll.
But Avalo, fair Avalo. near the
eastern county line and 22 miles
from the nearest railroad. is still
missing. 1t was checked up and be-
lieved that all was we'll, but the re-
turns did not arrive. They were To-
Gated only this morning, after the
county clerk had filed notice with
the court that he would use the bal
lots alone for official count If they
returns did not arrive by Tuesday.
This morning it was learned that
the registered package bearing the
precious burden had been deposited
to the nearest express office instead
of the post Office, 80 as soon as the
mail can come from Kimball, Neb.,
the Avalo count will be in. The
package was mailed this morning
so that 1t should reach Greeley by
tonight. In the event it does the
official count will be tabulated to-
morrow.
Weld probably will be the last
county to make returns on the elec.
ton in the state. Yesterday there
were two or three other counties
missing, but 1t is reported that these
would be in today. 80 that Weld
will be left alone.
This contingency was unforeseen
as the count was begun here earlier
than in most counties. Owing to the
enormous majority given to Judge
Garrigues and the narrow margin By
which Stephen carried the county
the official returns were awaited with
decided interest in Denver. II wal
believed for time that the Carri.
gues figures were a mostake but the
official count will show but little di.
vergence from the unofficial returns
compiled the day after election.

IS CHAMPION BOOZE
FIGHTER OF WELD

Henry Lake has established a
new record in the city police annals
for 'booze fighting. On last Friday
morning at II o'clock he was re-
leased from the city jail after having
served SO days of a 60 days sentence
for bootlegging. BY noon he was
under the influence OF liquor and ac-
cording to complaints received at
the police station was making a dis
turbance around his home.
During the afternoon he acquired
further stimulation and that night
attended a dance in the country. The
social occasion proved to be his
waterloo. as with a number of other
convivial spirits he became involved
in free for all scrap that ended In
his arrest on a warrant sworn out
charging disturbance and assault
He Is now in the county jail awaiting
a hearing.

COLORADO AT THE SHOW

That is cheerful news that Col
Skinner brings back from Chicago
regarding the Colorado exhibit to be
seen by the thousands that will at
tend the great land show within the
next few weeks. He thinks that the
state, for SO long regarded as only a
mineral producing section, will cap
ture big bunch of blue ribbons for
the displays of its various products
of the soil. He sees increased popu.
lation as a result of the exhibitions
and believes that by showing the
people of the middle west what We
have We can attract them to our
state as homeseekers.
All OF which reverts to the old
saw of putting your best foot for

the boost spirit: they are pessimistic
over its benefts: fear that 1t viii

SHORT CROP FEFbKF
HAS NO INFLUENCE

What is the matter with Greeley
spuds?
That Is the question that is now
agitating the farmers OF Weld county
who have seen the price start at S5
cents and who are now being offered
rs cents per hundred for the best
crop In the history of the district.
Raising potatoes at rs cents is not a
paying proposition, according to the
farmers. They want to know what
is wrong and most Of them are stor-
ing their crops In hopes OF higher
prices later.
According to the government crop
reports there has been a shortage in
the potato crop all over the country.
It was expected that this condition
would force the price skyward. but
no such indication has been had in
Weld county and. according to the
commission men, there Is no likeli-
hood Of a raise soon.
The crops coming In closest COM
petition with the Greeley product
are the Iowa spuds. According to
reports these are bringing from 81
! to $1.25 in the fields. Most OF the
Greeley product is shipped south
and to get the Iowa potatoes into the
same territory an additional Is cents
per hundred weight must be paid fol
freight.
The commission men say that the
law OF supply and demand Is regulat
ing the price. They say that in No

WELD COUNTY REErs

IL was not all pfOnt tnat came 10
the farmers of Weld county yester-
day when the Great Western Sugar
company made first payments of the
season for sugar beets. Growers IN
the vicinity of Greeley. Eaton and
Windsor received more than half a
million and the next pay day probably
will increase this amount to more
than one million.
But this enormous sum is not all
profit. 1t is pay for the long hours
in the hot fields, for the extra labor
that had to be employed, for the
beet seed. for the machinery employ
ed In cultivating the ground and for
careful attention and study given to
nursing the growing crops.
After all, "tis the reward of labor
that makes labor sweet" The hon
est dollars that have been wrung
from the soil will find many avenues
of travel. The children are going to
school, mother has long needed the
silk dress to wear to the ladies
ought to have those top boots that
have been filling large part of his
thoughts. and perhaps Susie will
get the piano that she has been hop
ing some day would replace the old
melodion in the parlor 10 these many
years.
And perhaps, too, father will be
himself after the little family gath
ering at which all desires are told.
Maybe, in some cases anyhow, that
bubble wagon will be bought and not
only that. but 1t will be q better one
than the family three miles below
bought last fall.
So the great food OF dollars will
bring lots OF happiness. though they
may be only a small percentage of
what might be termed velvet.
The city man is prone to believe
that the life of the FARMER is one
grand. sweet song. The only evi-
dence of farm life he sees is at the
state fair. where the farmer exhibits
his big beets, apples or best yield in
any line. He hears OF this bumper
crop bringing SO much, and the
prize fruit selling at fancy figures.
He begins to hate his job in the city

ALL IN AND COUNTED

After many delays occasioned by
judges failing to properly certify the
votes in several precincts. the Of
fetal count OF the last election was
completed this morning. But few
changes are shown from the unof-
fetal returns of the leading candi-
dates published the day after elec-
ton. All OF the amendments car
ried in Weld by large majorities.
County Clerk Luther is making every
effort to get the official count to
Denver and even at that may be the
last county to report.
Several days delay wa scaused by
the returns from Avalo being left in
the express office instead OF the
post office. They were received only
last night after having supposedly
been on the way for II days.

BARGAIN TINE AT HECHT'S.
Semi-Annual Clean-Sweep Sale Be
gins Tomorrow.

The semi-annual "clean-sweep" sale of
Hecht & Co, will begin at the Hecht
stores on 9TH street tomorrow morning.
A member of the firm says that never
before has such a varied assortment of
been SO decisive Each department has
its full share in the clearance sale and
the price reductions will be especially at
tractive to patrons Of the store.
When several years ago the Hecht
stores inaugurated the custom OF a semi
annual stock clearance sale, and called it
the "clean-sweep,' it met with a hearty
response from the public. and has since
become well known TO persons familiar
with sales In Washington. Ii is said
that no other store offers Its entire stock
in a forced clearance sale at prices which
admit of no profit whatsoever
A member of the firm said yesterday:
not for the purpose of profit making. but
in order to clear out stocks prior to
stock taking, when every effort is made
to have the lines at their lowest level
And the feature which commendS them
to the we'll informed shopper Is that tney
are not timed for the end Of the season.
when the need for the goods has practi-
cally passed, but always occur at the
height of the season, when the demand
and need are greatest.
'Of course, the Hecht stores will glad
ly open an account whether purchases
are large or small. and payment can be
made in such sums and at such dates as
will be entirely convenient. That this
plan has proved immensely attractive is
shown by the fact that 100000 accounts
have been opened by the house and the
number is constantly increasing"
The details of the "ciean-sweep" sale
are set forth elsewhere in The Star to-
day.
