NEW CASTLE AS STARTING POINT
The last issue of the New Castle
Democrat has the following, among
other things, to say regarding the
Grand River, Meeker & Salt Lake
railroad:
sit is now practically assured that
the Meeker-Salt Lake road will be
constructed from this section and 1t
is due time for the people of New
Castle to wake up and furnish land
for buildings, sidings, ETC., free OF
cost, to secure its location at this
point.
city Clerk J. E. Smith reports to
the Democrat that in recent inter-
view with one of the civil engineers
Of the West that that gentlemen ex-
pressed the opinion that New Castle
was the logical Grand river point for
the location Of the terminal of a
Meeker and Salt Lake railroad. A
better grade can be obtained from
New Castle than from any other
point.
"aGr. Smith is = very entt,usiasttc
convert to the proposition, and he
thinks that people here generally
should be alive to the importance of
the project and be ready to donate to
any company who will build the road
sufficient land for all necessary build
ings, trackage, etc. Mr.. Smith sees
in this simply business proposition
for the people of New Castle. The
assessed valuation of the property
within the corporate limits of the
town ia at present about 100000. A
railroad from here to Meeker would
at least double that valuation. Why
not donate five thousand or ten thous-
and dollars to secure all additional
fifty thousand dollars in valuation?
1t certainly seems to be. good bust
ness sense.
because New Castle is the logical
point for such road is no reason
why our citizens should sit with
folded hands, secure in false belief
that the road MUST come here. Rail
road are great deal like many other
things-they sometimes do the unex-
pected-and some OUT Of : the way
town gets the line, and Mr.. Logical
Point gets left.
"Mr. Smith suggest the matter
be thoroughly considered by our citi-
zens and the proper steps taken to
furnish, free of cost to the railroad,
the necessary land, and also to assist
In obtaining as reasonable rights-of-
way as possible"

THE UNION PACIFIC. THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND
THE RUST DEATH

Despite the fact that the coroner S
Jury sitting at the inquest into the
cause of the death of Elmer Rust,
held, in an indirect way. that the
Union Pacific railroad was response
BILE for the accident. the people OF
the county generally who are famil-
lar with conditions of the Godfrey
crossing are blaming equally the
commissioners OF this county and
the railroad. 1t is felt that. while
the Union Pacific is responsible for
leaving the road in the condition OF
shifting sand which undoubtedly
caused the accident. the county
commissioners are to blame for hav-
ing allowed the Union Pacific to
build the dangerous grade in the
first place and for not having forced
them to care for the crossing after
1t had been constructed.
The work which was done by the
Union Pacific employees yesterday
morning and afternoon on the road,
hoping to do away with the con-
dition before the coroner's jury ar
rived on the scene was a palpable ad-
mission of guilt.
The Greeley tribune., 1910-09-22
MELON THIEVES AND THE LAW

The fate of the LaSalle man the
other day who was shot after com
ing from melon patch should serve
M a lesson to offenders throughout
the county.
Many complaints have come to
the sheriff's office and to the police
concerning these depredations which
are made, usually. by young men
and boys. Oftentimes the melon
patches are the sole sources of in
come to the owners and they depend
upon them for living. Hence it is
that a visit OF vandals to the field
not only means the loss of the
melons which are actually stolen
but a tramping down of vines and a
destruction OF many melons other
than those which are actually taken
away.
1t Ia more than likely that, should
a man or boy be shot dead while
raiding the melon patch of another
that certain sentimental "reformers
would give vent to great cry lin
the name Of humanity brit the fate
is no better tnan any thief deserves.
Were man to enter house as
a burglar. no one would think it in
the least strange that the owner of
the place should shoot him. The
cases are similar so far as right and
Justice are concerned and the shoot
ing Of couple OF melon thieves
would undoubtedly have whole
some effect on the marauders who
have been a source of trouble to the
authorities and of no smali loss to
the owners of melon patches.
