COLORADO HAY
CROP IS SHORT

Indications are that the hay crop
in Colorado this year will be about
SO per cent of normal, due to the
drouth which has prevailed through
the hay producing sections of the
state. The recent rains over the
Arkansas valley and other sections
will be of little value to the crop as
is came entirely too late to be of
benefit to growing grasses.
Reports also indicate that the
hay crop is going to be cut short N
Ohio, Wisconsin and other usually
heavy hay producing states. There
is very little old hay in the markets
anywhere. This presages a glowing
outlook so far as the general supply
is concerned.
Colorado, If anything, is better
off than most states as there will
be fair yield in the valleys, al
though admittedly much shorter
than the previous year.

ground in opposing the claims OF
the Union Pacific.
It was believed that the chief
fight was being made against the
Denver, Laramie and Northwestern
road, which had acquired rights-of-
way between the Union Pacific and
the city. The new road had spent
$4,000 in its terminals in Greeley,
this amount being several times in
excess OF what any other corpora
tion or Individual held in the prem
ises. The Denver, Laramie officials
are jubilant over the decision, since
1T puts them in the clear on their
titles.
When the case was finally tried
In the federal court at Denver It
was decided that the 100 foot right
Of way held by the Union Pacific
wass Ill that the road was entitled
to and that their claim to 400 feet
through an act OF congress did not
apply 70 the city of Greeley.
Thtsy .scision was appealed and
the cassSwas taken to the United
States circuit court of appeals,
which Yesterday gave decision up
holding the lower court.
decision Far Reaching
1t is stated by attorneys that the
decision affacts the entire 400 foot
right of way claimed by the Union
Pacific west of the one hundredth
meridian in Kansas and that prop
erty valued at more than half a
million in Greeley and million be-
tween Denver and Cheyenne will
be aifected. Farmers who have
claimed these abutting acres will
secure title to them.
A nnal appeal may be made by
the Union Pacific to the supreme
court of the United States. Such
an action will indefinitely delay a
final decision, but well versed law
yers Lave expressed the opinion
that there is little hope of securing
a reversal of the two lower courts
in the highest court in the land.

History Interesting
The history of the litigation forms
one of the most interesting periods
in the life Of Greeley. The incep-
ton of the suit was nearly two
years ago when the Union Pacific
took umbrage at being crowded by
the entrance Of the Burlington and
Denver, Laramie & Northwestern
roads into the city. The city coun-
ell was trying to confine the railroad
tracks entering the city into a.
limited a space as possible, which
action was resented by the Union
Pacific. Both Of the new roads had
purchased rights of way.
The first skirmish was when the
Union Pacific started to lay tracks
over ground it claimed by virtue of
an alleged 400 foot right of way
from Denver to Cheyenne. The city
protested against this action and
ordered the work stopped. When
the order was not complied with.
under strict orders, were placed on
the ground to see that the order was
obeyed.
Got Injunction
When the city assumed this at
titude the Union Pacific went into
the courts. They prayed for tenn
porary injunction in the federal
court at Denver restraining the city
from interfering with their work on
gro nds they alleged belonged TO
the company.
The temporary restraining order
was granted by the court, which
brouhgt embarrassment to the Burl-
ington and the Denver, Laramie &
Northwestern companies which had
bought rights of way over ground
in the territory claimed by the
Union Pacific, Both of these roads
then filed petitions in intervention,
which brouhgt the city, Burlington
and Denver-Laramie onto common

NEARLY COMPLETED
Big Water Pipe Laid From Lower
End of City to Reservoir.
FACILITIES ARE GREATLY IMPROVED

The last official act OF Capt. ;.
j. Quinn, late superintendent or the
city water works. was to appear be
fore City Council advocating the eX-
tension OF water mains through that
portion OF the city west OF the canal
which had no fire protection and an
inadequate supply for domestic pur-
poses.
Up to Sept. ?, 1910, there had al
ready been laid a 6-inch water main
from the lower end of Main street
to the intersection OF Weldon street
with the National Boulevard. also
two lines OF 4-inch pipe, one on
Prince Edward and the other on
Wolfe street
Since this work was completed an
S-inch water main has been run from
the corner OF the Boulevard and
Weldon street to Charlotte and
down Charlotte street to Lee avenue
The main lO-inch supply pipe TO
the reservoir commenced at the
corner OF Charlotte and Weldon
streets and has been laid to the
bank OF the distributing reservoir,
located west OF the aims house hill.
This pipe will be inserted into tho
reservoir. which necessitates the cut
ting down OF Il portion OF the bank.
IL is expected that the water will
be turned into this pipe this week.
The laying OF this pipe was attend
ed with many difficulties due to the
soft ground through which a portion
of the pipe was laid and which
greatly retarded the progress of the
work
This l0-inch water main will sup
ply the west end OF the town, be-
sides strengthening the entire water
system.
There are other shorter lines Of
pipes TO be laid on Willis and Weed
