Poe VS.. VS.. Arch, 12s Northwestern Re-
porter, 1855. This action was brought
by Annie Poe to recover $4,000 for
having been subjected to great mental
anguish and bodily suffering by rea-
son of the failure of defendant to carry
out his marriage promise In the lower
court she was allowed $4,000, and the

Judge, becoming sympathetic, and while
counsel was yet arguing, left the
bench and went in to the woman

THE RIGHT NAME.

1t is the practice nowadays to
smooth and iron out the words of
thief and criminal" In their APP
plication to public affairs, and we
give them the names known as
graft" and CRATER" as though
that made the offense less heinous.
but in the eyes of the law a thief is
a thief. whether he be the purloiner
of private property or the purloiner
of public goods. Men we elect to
public office assume that they are
the owners of the position they oc-
cupy, with all it's emoluments. and
that public property is theirs to do
with as they will. When they vio-
late the law of service It Is the
right of the people to get rid of

POTATOES
AND BEETS
ESTIMATES
FIELD MANAGER TIMOTHY SAYS
100 DAY CAMPAIGN
POTATO BLIGHT NOT SPREADING
Potato Yield an Enigma-Nobody
Knows for Sure What Yield
Will Be-l'rice Is Certain
to Be Good

Beets are good all over Weld
county, according to Hy Timothy,
field man for the Great Western
Sugar company. Taken as a whole
there is absolutely nothing in the
beet outlook to complain of.
All the way between Greeley and
Denver the beets look fine, could
scarcely be better. A rev spots in
the Delta show lack of water.
Around Eaton, except small strip
northwest, toward Ault. the pros
poets are good. The Windsor dis
trict will make good showing, ex-
cept in the Black Hollow country,
where conditions are not SO favor
able. Mr.. Timothy thinks they will
average Is tons over the district.
Prospects are for 100 day cam
paign at the Greeley factory. with a
somewhat shorter one for the Wind
sor and Eaton plants. There are
6.400 measured acres tributary to
the Greeley factory, while Eaton has
5000 and Windsor 5.400. A part
of the Greeley tonnage will be sliced
at one of the other factories.
It is difficult to obtain definite
Information as to the status of the
potato crop at this time. Growers
simply do not know, and most of
the figures given are purely guess
work. The chances are, however,
that the growers are discounting
their troubles. The Greeley cores
pondent of the Denver Republican
has the situation sized up as follows
this morning:
Estimates on the potato crop at
the present time vary all the way
from 60 per cent of normal yield
to one made by we'll known dealers
who say that if weather conditions
are right there will be normal
crop. or about 5000 car loads.
Farmers whose fields are of
heavy soil report blight and in
nearly all localities there are some
manifestations of this disease which
quickly cuts down the life of the
vine. The general opinion is that
the blight is not spreading in the
last few days and that cooler
weather will end it.
Potatoes are now we'll set on the
vines. but it will require long
growing season to develop and ma
ture them and potato digging will
not generally begin until the first of
October.
- dealers say tnat every lhluS
points to good and even high prices
for the crop, and Texas and the
south are in the field for the crop
which they can take at excellent
prices, as there is a bumper cotton
crop in Texas and other southern
Estates. The prosperity of the soulh
will help the northern Colorado
farmer who furnishes Texas and the
southwest the bulk of their pota-
| toes"

DOES SmYL|E
INTAKE PIPE LINE TO DRAIN
AND DEVELOP LAND
IS 5000 FEET IN LENGTH
viii Accumulate the Waters to Ir-
riEate Two Farms and This in
Turn Will Save Present
Potato Crop

Eaton, Aug. ala. ]. Smylie is
developing enough water to irrigate
hall secllcl of land by means of a
3,8o0-ieet, 1S-inch pipe line.
The line, which is partially build
and in operation, will be finished in
time to save the present years crop
of spuds. Eighteen hundred feet
will drain seepy tract of his own,
and 1000 feet adjoining, belonging
to Bruce Eaton. During the irri-
gating season Mr.. Symlie will use
all the water thus developed, and in
the winter time Mr.. Eaton will have
the water. which will be stored in
Woods lake for use the following
sumner. The incomplete line is al
READY producing 90 inches of water
and this will be augmented to
about $50 when the plant is COM
plete. 1t will be necessary to raise
the water by pumping to one of the
Smylie farms, and gravity will carry
to the other and lower tract.
As the Eaton ditch is short OF
late water this year. owing to the
irrigation muddle with the Hotel
mill OF Fort Collins. with whom
farmers under the Eaton ditch have
for the past twenty years had ex-
change arrangements. this move of
MT Smylie's will practically make a
potato crop for him.
The pipe line is of cement tile,
furnished by the Bartlett cement
works at Greeley.

Rev. j. Elwood Lynn, pastor OF
the S. L. w. church. has in contem-
plation the organization of a mems
club to be under the auspices of the
church. This will not be confined

mans club and it is the plan to ar
range a series of lectures during the
winter on practical farming with
specialists in various lines from the
Agricultural college as speakers. A
committee Is now at work on the
arrangements and the plan seems
to be met with favor by all. The
club will not be fully organized nor
the work begun until later in the
fall. after the crops are harvested
and the farmers will have more
leisure time.
