Merchants Say Shop Early

DO 1t now.
This is the motto adopted by Gree
ley merchants on the Christmas
shopping proposition. They are
about ready for the biggest holiday
trade In the history of Weld county.
and are anxious to have those who
can do their shopping before the
heavy last days rush comes begin at
once.
This is not a plea for merely the
merchants. but for all who have to
participate in the grand rush for
gifts. There are many who can buy
few weeks before Christmas as
we'll as the last few days. These are
urged to take advantage of this con-
dition, as 1t will distribute the bust
ness more evenly and will, in a
measure, obviate the last scramble
that usually takes place.
The early shopper has the advan-
tage OF first selection from the new
stocks and Of doing the shopping be-
fore the stores become so crowded
that it is impossible for the clerks
to give the attention to each customer
that they would like.
or necessity there are many whose
means are limited and are lucky to
get in under the last wire In buying
their gifts. II all who can will buy
early the last comers will get . bet
ter chance. Then also. the clerks
will appreciate having the extra
trade distributed over weeks instead
Of days. They will have all they can
do between now and the holidays and
little considerations on the part OF
the public will be appreciated BY
them.

shopping think do It now.

MAN WHO PLANTED THE
FIRST SPUD0 IN GREELEY

The following extract from
Thanksgiving day letter to Charles
Camp from his old friend. John H.
Gordon. who has charge OF the active
farming operations at the govern
ment experimental farm at Chey-
enne. may not prove unintoresting
reading to Tribune readers:
This is Thanksgiving day, and
naturally brings up old recollections
of former years. In one of your let
ters you mentioned there was dis
cussion going the rounds as to who
we're the original planters OF spuds
In Greeley. The hand that writes
this claims this distinction. and can
back 1t up with uncontroyertable
proof. On the 29th OF April, 1870,
| arrived at what was called Greeley.
A bare cactus prairie. with not the
semblance of a habitatfon. There
was a board shanty for the engineers
to store their instruments at night.
This was the only appearance OF q
house on the now populous town OF
Greeley. l will never forget the first
night. There was Mr.. Teller. j. H..
Orr, A. Gilchrist. E. s. Baker and etc.
Boxes all broken in transit and
no protection. Finally Mr.. Baker had
small tent This was erected over
ourselves and broken boxes and each
Of US took turns to steady the tent
pole to keep the tent erect. 1t was
such night as Tam O'Shanter ex-
perfenced when he rode home from
no the town OF Ayr.
But l have digressed-now to the
spuds. Gilchrist and l had brought
some seeds with us from the east to
start in our Greeley settlement. The
original settlers we're allowed what
was called a business lot and resi-
dence lot. Gilchrist took the first
business lot and the writer took
second. We also took residence lots.
On one OF these residence lots the
first spuds were planted that were
ever planted in Greeley. I well re-
member carrying water from we'll
dug or drilled by H. T. West, to
water these spuds. This was the
flrst irrigation in Greeley. Subse-
quent to the above planting J. H.
Orr, A. Gilchrist and E. s. Baker
went into an arrangement to plant
about five acres on the river bottom.
where afterwards Mr.. Beetham lived.
This was a mutual arrangement and
each had q share Of the plot. l have
planted potatoes every year since but
never saw a finer crop than on that
plat. This. without any question,
was the first planting OF spuds in the
Greeley colony. How I could enlarge
on those early days, but they are
past and gone and q new generation
possesses the land while the pio-
neers will die forgotten. but such il
the course Of events In tho history
OF the world" 4saS
The spot where Mr.. Beetham lived

where cement blocks were made anc
Mr.. Beatham had a small sod house
near the river bank and it was de-
