ARE PLACING
A COAT OF OIL
ON HIGHWAYS

The work of placing oil on the
streets of Greeley as an experiment
began Tuesday morning and within
a short time the people will have
a chance to decide whether the high
ways will be treated this way prema-
nently. The car of oil donated for
experimental purposes by the Conti-
mental Oil company reached the city
yesterday and the oil was prepared
this morning at the ice plant.
Streets abutting on city property
will be treated first. The start will
be made in front of the city hall and
public library on Seventh street.
Half Of the street will be treated at
a time SO that traffic will not be in
terrupted. The half of the street
first prepared will be roped off so
that teams will not get into the oil
before 1t is ready.
Street Commissioner Seaman says
that every effort will be made to
keep the teams from getting into the
oil before it is ready for traffic. but
that the people will have to look
out for themselves.
Enough oil has been received to
cover several blocks. The street
commissioner is doing the work
under the supervision of an expert
whom the oil company sends with
out cost to the city. Several days
will be required to do the prelimi-
nary work. Seventh street is being
cleaned up and scraped today and
will receive the first coat of the
preparation. Some time is required
for the oil to harden before the
streets will be open for traffic.

which occurred at their home in
keota. Mr.. and Mrs. Plowman
came here from Michigan in 1906
and lived here until last year when
they moved to their ranch near
keota. The change of residence to
Colorado was made in the hope that
Mrs. Plowman, who was suffering
from tuberculosis, might be bene-
fitted by the climate here.
Mrs. Plowman was survived by
her husband and three children and
her mother, four sisters and two
brothers who live in Michigan. The
remains we're taken to her old home

VETO OF
TAFT NOT
POPULAR
NO CHANCE FOR REDUCTION IN
WOOL PRICES
IS CAIERING TO THE TRUSTS
Tariff Board Ii Not Regarded Seri.
ously BY People President
Says He Wants to Hear
Its Report

Washington, Sept 2.-President
Taft's veto of the wool bill means
there will be no reduction this win
ter in the price OF woolen clothing
of any sort for men, women and
children, nor in the prices of blan-
kets, nor any other forms of woolen
manufactures needed for warmth by
the general public.
And Just SO much as the public
would have saved in cheaper WOOL
ems, together with the amount the
farmers would have saved in
cheaper agricultural implements
had the president signed the free
list bill, will be transferred unjustiy
to the coners of the wooden trust
and the harvester trust, two star
contributors to the republican cam
paign fund.
What is the presidents defense
for refusing to permit reduction
in the cost of living? Let US see:
First, he makes the point the wool
was unconsidered,, when as a mat
ter of fact the ways and means COM
mittee put in three months of sim
cere investigation and study before
the bill was framed, which is twice
the length of time given to the con-
sideration of the wooden schedule of
the Payne-Aldrich bill, and which
document the president signed read
lily enough.
Second, the president asks that
the people continue to pay exorbit-
ant prices for woolens until he hears
from his tariff board, which is pack
ed with men who take the high pro-
lection viewpoint, and whose chief
~A eli otv,x xf1p
vestigators abroad are writing back
ridiculing and belittling the crying
demand o. the consumers for tariff
revision downward.
Mr.. Taft's message against cheap
or woolens will go down as a docu-
ment of Misrepresentation, false
pretense and excuses. Inc real rea-
son the president vetoed the vari-
GUS tariff bills was not stated in any
of his messages: 1t was because he
va under obligations to the bene-
flciaries OF the Payne-Aldrich law
to serve their interests instead of
the public interest. Mr.. Taft was
elected president, 1t should be re-
membered, with campaign fund
contributed by special privilege.
Then the great tariff trusts extend
cd further aid ,and placed Taft
further in their debt) by frightening
their employees into voting for Taft
with the threat their factories and
mills would be closed down unless
he was elected. And, just as he was
the candidate of special privilege,
Mr.. Taft is also the president of
special privilege.
Thus 1t is shown again how pro-
lection makes politics a business
proposition. The trusts contribute
campaign funds to the party of the
high protection wall with the inten-
ton Of not only recovering from the
public in excessive prices the
amount OF their campaign fund in
vestments, but with the determine
ton Of extorting stupendous divi-
6ends as profits. Mr.. Taft proved
IN exceptionally good Investment
for the tariff trusts.

She had turned to answer when
with the suddenness Of an explosion
a burst of wind fell on them like a
tapping weight. scattering them with
drops that struck the rock as if hurled
from a slingful Of melted metal.
Daunt had sprung to her side and
was shouting something. But the
words were indistinguishable. She
shook her head and went on stub

of blown garments. She felt him grasp

after her in an instant. overtaking her
on a frail board trestle that spanned
a pool where the cliff was perpendicu-
lar. Here the wind. shaggy with
spume. hurled them together. Daunt
threw an arm about her, clinging with
the other hand to the wooden railing.
Her hair was a reddish swirl across
his shoulder, and her breath. painting
against his throat, ridged his skin with
creeping delight.

She nodded her head. and her lips
smiled at him through the confused

like fire and snow in one thrilled and
chilled her She closed her eyes with
a wild longing that the wind might

Slowly she felt the breath Of the tenn

felt herself lifted from her feet. and
her eyes opened into Daunt's. Her
cheek lay against his breast, as it had
done in that short moment in the en-
bassy garden. She could feel his
heart bound under the rough tweed.
