Colorado Potato
Crop One Third

Colorado's potato crop for this
year, according to the final report of
the department of agriculture, which
was made public in Washington
yesterday, is 2,275,000 bushels. Last
year the state produced 100000
bushels, according to the same au-
thority. indicating a decrease of
4,225, 900 bushels from the 1910
yield
Most of the potatoes on the Dem
yer market are from the Western
slope and from Idaho, practically
none coming from the Greeley dis
trict, where the blight DESTROYED the
crop the past summer, and freight
rates largely determine the price at
which the consumer gets them. At
present Denver is paying - 10 80 25

HIDE STOLEN
AUTO IN HAY

Fort Collins. Nov. 1O.-Driving a
stolen auto from the city to within
three miles of Boulder, where they
ran out of gasoline, three men hid
the machine between two hay stacks
while they went for more fuel, and
one of their number was arrested
shortly after midnight by Sheriff
Capp of Boulder when they returned
to get the car.
The auto is the property of DR.. ID.
o. Norton of this city and was stolen
from the yard at his home early
Wednesday morning, the thieves
rolling the car by hand until a safe
distance from the house before
starting the engine. Before starting
on they discovered the doctor's
medicine casese and left them on the
sidewalk several blocks from his
home.
When the gasoline gave out they
rolled the machine between two ha,-
stacks In field near the road, took
q canvas cover from one of the
stacks and covered the car and then
covered the whole with hay. The
farmer who owned the hay went To
the stacks for supply and found the
car. which was 80 cleverly oovered
that 1t could not be detected a short
distance away. He telephoned Sher-
III Capp. who In the meantime had
l,een notified of the theft by Sheriff
Carlton Of this city. and Capp went
out and drove the car to Boulder.

Mouthpieces of
Telephones To

The state board of health will is
sue an order at its next meeting, to
the telephone company. to equip all
telephone mouthpieces with aseptic
mouthpieces to prevent the spread
of disease.
The board will make this order
because it holds that telephone,
after it has been used month, Is
source OF infection; menace to
the health OF the users.
The board claims il has the right
to enforce this order and that it
will do so.
A similar order is in effect in
other states. The dangers of the
telephone mouthpiece, iDsufficiently
cleansed, has been subject of spec
ial consideration in the state board
of health for some time. The fact
that little or no attempt is made
to protect the public from infec-
ton through transmission of germs
in the use OF non-aseptic transmit
ters is considered of sufficient peril
to require immediate drastic &C
tion.

Word was received last Saturday
of the death of William S. Wilson at
his home in Golden, where he went
with his father, o. 7. Wilson, and
sisters, few weeks ago.
Mr.. Wilson, or Buster" Wilson,
as he was called by his friends, was
one of the best known and most
popular young men in Greeley. AL
though in failing health for several
years he was always CHEEKY and pa

~ years ago. He came to Greeley
with his family five years ago and
left only few weeks ago for Gold

HuNOREDTH BIRTHDAY
BY BITING SMALL BOY

Probably the most unique birth
day celebration ever held in Gree
ley is today when Poll. the famous
parrot of Mrs Mary O'Grady. is
observing her one hundredth ami

For years Poll made her home at

fame by her cleverness in talking,
whistling, singing and various other
accomplishments. Recently her
sphere of usefulness was transferred
to the dining room of the sterling
hotel where her list of acQuaintances
widened.
Although Poll has lived a century
she doesn't look 1t 0 ract as though
she has been on earth that long.
She is sprightly and clipper as a

The first zero weather of the
season struck Greeley last night. 1t
seems prepared to linger for a while
although the thermometer is recov-
ering slowly. This morning it was
four above.
The cold came with wind that
sprang up about $3.50 o'clock last
night and reached gale by IL
O'Clock. Those who went out for
the evening and wore only light
wraps nearly perished going home.
Soon after midnight snow began
falling and continued until daylight,
about four and one half inches
staying on the ground The precipi-
tation recorded was .25 inch.
Some ice was formed on the skat-
ing pond in Glenmere park, but as
most of the water had been let out
to allow further grading it is ex-
pected that a solid mass will be
formed that will be gradually flood
ed as long as the cold lasts. provid-

LOWER RATES
GET SETBACK

Washington, Nov. ---Expected
reductions of trans-continental rail-
road freight rates was held up yes
terday when the court of commerce
granted temporary injunction
against the order of the interstate
commerce commission in what pop
ularly are known as the Spokane
and other Pacific coast points rate
cases.
The order was to have become ef-
fective next Wednesday. The cases
involve not only the back haup'
freight rates from Spokane and
other mountain points to Pacific
coast terminals but also the applica-
tion OF the long and short haul
clause of the law.
The effect of the commissioner 8
order was to reduce the freight
rates from Atlantic seaboard points
to inter-Rocky mountain destina-
tions In the reduction of the trans
continental rates. the commission
recognized the effect of water CON-
petition on the Pacific coast. but
held, substantially, that the rates
from the east to cities like Spokane
and Reno should be lower than the
>existing rates.
The trans-continental railways
appealed to the commerce court,
maintaining that the order was
practically confiscatory.

Wisconsin's position in the dairy
world is an enviable one. One-sixth
of the creameries of the United
States are located in Badgerdom
and one-half of our cheese factories
are situated in that great lake state.
1t seems almost Incredible that the
combined gold and silver output of
Colorado, California and Alaska
does not equal in value that paid
annually for the dairy products of
Wisconsin. In the period extend
ing from 1890 to 1910 the valua-
tion of the dairy products of the
Badger state increased nearly four
fold or from s21,260,00O to S79,-
100000. The average butter pro-
duction per COW the country over
does not much exceed 100 pounds
per year, yet Wisconsin dairymen

pie in this state alone are interest
ed in the production OF sugar beets

part from beet raising. The value
Of the crop to the farmers of this
state is about $5.000Q00. You can
readily see the immense benefit of
an organization Of this kind.
"The league will be supported by
an assessment OF a few cents a ton

longing. The crop in northern Colo

900 and 100000 tons. so we will
have ample revenue at little expense

Man RIDES IN
KID GO CART

Pedestrians along Seventh avenue
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets last evening were afforded a
show free of charge that
would do credit to any high class
circuit. Tom Cronin, an employee, of
the sugar factory, was the ieAJing
actor, and in fact the whole show.
Mr.. Cronin left the factory for
home on his bicycle and arrived
home on a child's go-cart. When
Mr. Cronin turned onto the sidewalk
at Ecker's corner he was making a
good rate of speed and evidently
not paying much attention to his
path. In front of the Ewing nat
he collided with the go-cart. Being
a 200-pounder Mr.. Cronin landed in
the cart with considerable force
after his trip over the handle bars,
with the result that the go-cart car
ried him into his own yard. The
whole thing was done so clever that
passersby never dreamed it was an
accident.
