most of the other streets would re-
quire much new gravel and
heavier grade of oil or binder, at a
higher cost. would probably be de-
sirable.
I Taking Ninth avenue from Sev-
enth street to Seventeenth street as
a typical example l should estimate
the cost of making it into first class
dustless macadam pavement as fol
lows:
For each block, 500 feet (4oo
plus 100 leet corner) by So feet
wide,
Fifty loads of crushed gravel at
SIPS per load, s62.50.
1850 gallons of heavy oil tbind-
err at s cents per gallon, $124.i0.
Hand labor in application of ma
terial, $1,000.
Is loads of fine gravel for finish
ing, $500.
Incidental expense. s3.l0.
Total. $4,000.
II such work were done by the
Improvement district plan and If the
city should pay 25 per cent of the
cost. the balance to be assessed
against the property. would be $24O
per block. which divided by 500
feet of frontage in each block, would
make the assessment $50 per hun
dred feet, of SIS for fifty foot lot.
If such an improvement should be
taken in future 1t ought also to be
on condition that each owner should
nut in a curb where none exists as
it is impossible to maintain street
in good condition without curb to
hold flood waters in place.
While it is much too early to
pronounce Judgment upon the ex-
neriment with OIL I may say that
thus far your committee is fully
satisfied with apparent results. The
oiled road is absolutely dustless at
all times, presents a cushioned sur
face for hoofs and tires, and pro-
tects the surface from disintegra-
tion from storm and traffic. Its
durability and economy must be
Judged later.
BY way of comparison we may
note that the five blocks OF oiled

for sprinkling with water If they

Grafton Of the report submitted by
the street committee on oil on the
streets of Greeley.
Other matters were of routine
nature. They included the tinal
estimate on the filter bed No. 3 OF

new bed is s7.496.15.
Building permits were granted to
Sanborn & Houston and George

Following is the report of Alder
man Bullock, chairman of the street
committee:
To the honorable Mayor and City
Council, Greeley, Colo.
Gentlemen: present herewith
a report OF operations attending the
use of the car of road oil donated
by the Continental Oil company for
eyperimental purposes on the streets
of Greeley.
The car contained 6.400 gallons
Of so Per cent asphalt oil. This
amount covered 5000 square yards
of surface with an application OF
slightly less than one half gallon
ner snuare yard. This surface
amounts TO five blocks or very
nearly half mile of street Sc feet
in width.
The expense of the work is
$439.66.
The Greeley Gas company furn-
,shed steam for heating the oil with
ont expense to the city.
II will be seen that the cost of the
treatment complete was small
fraction less than 3 cents per square
ward. This is $500 per block or
sSo5O0 per mile. The average
cost of similar work in other cities

ward so We seem to be fortunate In

ENCOURAGE THE PRODUCERS
TO SELL DIRECT
MORE PROFITS FOR GROWERS
Apple Grove are Helping Solve
Difficult Question That Con-
fronts Producers of Farm
Products in Country

Denver, Sept 2O.-Railroad COM
panies are encouraging the produc-
ers to form organizations to get
their produce into the hands of the
consumer direct and cut out the
middle man. 1t is claimed that
this will cut down the present high
cost of living
It is estin ated that the producer
gets 80 CEN out of every dollar
worth of produce marketed, the
railroads gel cents and the mid
die men get the other 54 cents.
The commission on rural life, ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, re-
ported that this was the percentage
into which the selling price to the
ultimate consumer was divided and
that the percentage in favor of the
middle man is growing every
year.
The wool growers of the north
west have erected an immense wool
warehouse at Chicago, to which
they consign their wool to be sold
on the cooperative | Ian; the result
being that "25 cent wool" has come
into vogue where the price to the
grower had In former years beer
about half that sum. The plan oil
cutting out the middle man" who
had to have an exhorbitant profit
for merely buying and selling, gave
the producer more money and did
not raise the price to the consumer
The only person to suffer was the
middle man" who dealt on com.
mission and who had nothing in
vested.
The railroads have taken an in
terest in the matter because the
continual complaint has been tina
the high cost Of living was causet
by high fz4tSht rates. The trans
portation lines claim that with tn
"middle man" and his exhorbitan
profits cut out he cost Of living
would be reduced fully one-third.
The railroads claim that with the
cost of living reduced more goods
would be shipped and a consequen
benefit would come to the trans
portation companies
The successful operations OF ap
pie growers associations of Colo
RADIO are referred to as examples o
securing greater profits to the
grower and a lower price to the con
sumer by cutting out the middle
man.

has been appealed to by the potato
growers of the Greeley district to
make an investigation on govern
ment account of the blight that has
appeared recently. The advice OF
Eugene Grubb was followed and a
night letter was sent last night by
wire.
1t is expected that reply will
come at an early date, but since the
secretary was advised to send his
answer to Mr.. Grubb and Mr.. Grubb

away and his furniture was smashed

That was on the evening before

ST. LOUIS EDITOR THROUGH

MARvELS At THE CHANGES
Charles p. Wonderly Repeating the
Journey He Made Half Century
ago Through Greeley With
Mule Team

Yearning to follow again, as
nearly as possible, the trail he
travelled fifty years ago when he
journeyed across the country with
train of mule teams, Charles p.
Wonderly, assistant editor of the
st. Louis World, arrived here Tues
day and was the guest of his aunt,
Mrs. Margaret j. Goodwin, 101S
Fifth street, for the day.
During the mining excitement in
the northwest in 1850 Mr.. Wond-
erly started from the east for Mon
tana with train of 80 mule teams.
With him was his cousin, Samuel
Wonderly, who chose a train of 80
oxen to make the trip. The oxen
train arrived at the destination,
Virginia City, Mont, then a stirring
mining camp, two weeks ahead of
the mule teams.
The trail traversed passed
through the site of Greleey, which
was then prairie and cactus. The
trip was made ten years before the
first visit of the locating committee
of the Union Colonists.
Mr.. Wonderly remembers dis
tinctly the location as it was only a
short distance from station where
the horses on the stage route were
changed.
After leaving Montana Mr. Wond-
erly went to California and made
the trip east by water, around the
horn.
Although the once famous mining
town of Virginia City has dwindled
to 800 Samuel Wonderly has never
left and is now the owner of the
large Wonderly ranch, famous in
that section. Mr.. Wonderly is now
taking the trip by railroad to Vir
ginia City to visit his cousin. whom
he has not seen for half a century
| Tuesday was spent in Greeley
with Mrs. Margaret Goodwin, the
widow of Oliver Goodwin. who was
one of the earliest of the pioneers
of the west, coming in 1S49. Mr..
Wonderly visited his aunt, whom he
had not seen for 25 years, looked
over the city and attended the Weld
county fair. He continued his
journey west in the evening.

BLIGHT IN
THE SOUTH
VISITOR IN GREELEY URGES AC-
TION BY GOVERNMENT
SAYS EXPERT CAN FIND CURE
II. G. Snow, Staff Correspondent Of
Kansas City Packer, llas Seen
the Epidemic Handled
Successfully

r. G.. Snow, staff correspondent OF
the Kansas City Packer, who is in
the city attending the county fair,
was much interested in the story
of the potato blight and the efforts
to secure government investigation
of the new disease. He has seen
similar conditions in all parts OF the
country and is an enthusiast on the
way the government goes after new
diseases. Regarding the matter he
said:
1.-The future of the potato indus
try in Colorado, and especially Weld
county's section, must be safe
guarded by quick action.
Eugene Grubb's, government ex-
pert, statement in yesterday Tribune
is, believe, in line with the depart
ment's desire to do all possible to
eradicate plant diseases. The case
should be strongly put before the
secretary of agriculture and there
is every reason to look for imme-
diate aid.
when San Jose scale was dis
covered in the great Fort valley.
Georgia, peach district some years
ago the agricultural department sent
the best experiments to be had there
| to eXterminate that deadly foe to
the peach. They had to experiment
at great expense and many orchards
were subjected to such severe treat
ment that they were killed-but the
experts succeeded and any one can
now conquer San Jose scale.
when the boil weevil was first
discovered in Texas the department
of agriculture sent its trained ento-
mologists in search of an eradicator
of the cotton foe. Experts were sent
! to South America. India and other
tropical countries and they are still
making scientific warfare on the
cotton boil weevil.
| Dozens of other cases are easily
recited but in all these cases strong
evidence and unanimous demand
rang at the door of the secretary OF
agriculture before action was taken.
The experts, it seems, should ar
rive here while the plants are yet
green so that study may be made
at first hand No doubt few wires

ested territory would be of much
weight as to prompt action.

would often be too wet or dry. The
expense continued for even 800 days
in a year would make total cost
of $500 per year for Indifferent re-
suits as compared with the Si39.66
spent for oil which we expect Will
keep the street in good condition
continuously for at least year
Finally, ii must be remembered
that no pavement is permanent UNI
der our conditions of storm and
traffic and that street built at cost
of five to ten cents per square yard
must not be compared with street
