Was Pioneer in Introducing
Telephone in This District

Howard T. Vaille, contract claim
agent for the Colorado Telephone
company of Denver was in the city
vest rday on business. Mr.. Vaille
enjoys the distinction of being the
pioneer telephone man in Greeley
and this part of the county, since
1t was he who first came here with
the idea of putting in telephones.
This was Is years ago. At that
time Mr. Vaille interviewed promi-
nent citizens on the subject, but got
only Indifferent response. Every
body wanted to know if anybody
else thought enough of the tele-
phone to try one. They could re-
member that there We're no tele-
phones when they came and that
they had struggled along for years
without them, hence of what use
could they be?
Finally a few were induced to put
in phones as experiments and today
1t is becoming hard proposition to
supply all of the phones that are de-
manded The growth of the phone
system throughout the Greeley dis
trict has been little short Of re-
markable.

Roy Toliver failed to stay the
full hour with George Gion of Ne
braska in a wrestling match THUS
day night at the Academy hall. The
Nebraska man had an advantage OF
about thirty pounds in weight and
this with his great knowledge of
the game proved too much for the
nimble Toliver. The nrst fall came
in eighteen minutes, the second in
sixteen and the third and last in
q tribe over three minutes. Each
fall came ~ . direct result Of Gion
using his weight in crushing his
light opponent after firing him un-
til he could NO longer squirm out
of the many clever holds used by
Gion.
The match was a good one, both
men being clean and honest in their
work. The securing Of the first
two falls gave the spectators good
run for their money as many fancy
tricks of the game we're used by
both men.
After the match Gfon said Toll

STATE LAND BOARD WATCH
ING ALL LAND PROJECTS

The state of Colorado is back of
every water right sold under
Cary project.
1t guarantees to the prospective
settler water on any land he may
take up under a project of this kind.
The state, through the land board,
is the custodian of the interests of
the prospective settler-attorney for
him, as it were-and will see that
he is protected.
No more wildcat Cary projects are
to be floated, and the ones
already having lands segregated
must comply with the letter of the
law as the board sees it.
These are the principal announce
ments by the land board. President
Heating says that in the past the
promoters of Cary projects have
not always had enough water in
sight to irrigate lands they have
segregated. This will not be the
case in the future, he says.
The above principles were enun-
ciated yesterday when f. B. Adams,
as attorney for the Duncan Chis-
| hpim PioJCtts' was up DcioiC tAO
land board. This company about a
year ago made a temporary segre-
cation of 100000 acres of Cary act
land in Montrose and San Miguel
counties. Their application for a
permanent segregation is due and
before this was allowed by the land
board other private irrigation COM
panies in the same district protest.
ed against allowing the Duncan
Chisholm company the 100000
acres.
| President Keating said: "The
state is in control of the Cary act
lands. There have been fizzles in
the past. The prospective settler
must have someone to look after
! his interests and this the land
| board proposes to do. The mere
construction of bitches on Cary act
lands does not imply that the com
pany has enough water to fill all
the bitches. The settler expects
and pays for water, and it is water
he will get in the future II this
land board can make 1t So"

THIEVES GET GEMS
VALUED At 100000
Police of Country Trailing
Clever and Daring Gang
of Crooks.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The entire de-
tective force and a famous private
agency are today trailing a clever and
daring gang of Western jewelry thieves
who have stolen 800, 900 worth of jewelry
and gems in this city within the past
fortnight. Although the police refuse
to reveal Nthe details, news of the rob-
berry leaked out through a semi-official
source today.
The detective force has discovered
clews which leads it TO believe that a
certain Western gang, well known TO
the police of a score of bigger cities,
perpetrated the robbery and have ship
ped their loot out of town, some TO
be sold in Western cities, some in
Canada. while part of IT, it is believed,
has been transported abroad.
The first robbery of the series oc-
CURED during the holidays, and two
others followed in quick succession. The
authorities will not reveal the names
of the victims. The description of the
missing jewelry covers .three closely
typed sheets of paper and includes
rings, diamonds, pearls, rubies, watches,
bracelets, and other articles.
