C. T. u, which was held Tuesday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. S. B..
McClelland, the birthday of Mrs
Lillian NJ Stevens. the national
president of the union. was cele-
brated.

ures of the afternoons program was
the reading of letter received from

forty years made Greeley her home
and was an active worker in the
local union here. For the pleasure
of Mrs. Vests innumerable friends
the letter is given:

contact with them. until last week,
as whenever we saw notice of their
meetings 1t was always 30 far away
that I could not undertake the walk,
for this place seems to call to my
mind what was said of Washington.
that 1t was "a city of magnificent
distances. b last week the
union met with our daughter, being
arranged by one Of the ladies who
had called upon us. There was
good gathering OF II or 1S. The
president is a Mrs. Hawkes., to whom

read and warm welcome given me
from the union. We had fine talk
from Mrs Oakes. the wife OF our
state senator. in regard to some laws
they are trying to get passed which
would help our cause and she drew
some pictures OF some of the mem
bers of the house whom she thought
would not vote for these laws. she
seemed so well informed We think
she must have attended some of the
sessions with her husband. 1t was
very interesting.

BIG WATER MAIN is ORDERED

Is Held-New Fire Alarm Sys-

Progress

Final agreements affecting the old
Model Mil canal were signed by the
council on Tuesday whereby the rail-
road interests Will pay to the city
$1,000 and an equal sum to the mill
for the irrigation and power rights
held respectively. This will end the
discomfort that has been occasioned
by the water not needed along the
old ditch, which was one OF the first
to be constructed in Greeley. The
city already has enlarged the lat
erals on Third and Fifth streets SO
that the truck farmers dependent
and holding rights in the old ditch
will be protected.
Long since the mill has been u.s.
ing steam power while the city had
no further need Of the water for ir-
rigation and the conditions existing
recently were unsatisfactory for all
concerned.
The people wanting water main
along Sixteenth avenue between
Twelfth and Eighteenth street have
petitioned for the work to be done
by the city, and have deposited
$3.50 with the council as an evil
dence of good faith on their part.
First avenue, from Twelfth to
Eighteenth street is to be graded
and gravelled, the city paying one
half of the expense. The county has
agreed to pay the other half, as the
line defining the city Init passes
down the middle of the street.
Hitching posts were ordered plac-
ed on Railroad avenue within the
limits prescribed for the market
place These must be within si1
feet of the property lines.

Those who have followed the work Of
Or. a II Wilde, president of the Uni
vcrsity of Arizona, in his efforts TO
place the institution i'm the class Of the
more advanced state universities Of the
country, have marvellcd at the inltia-
tive he has shown in graspinS the
needs of the university, and instituting
so many vital reforms in the depart
mcnts of college work. only by intense
application to the problem confronting
him has DR.. Wilde been enabled To ac-
complish such a vast amount of work,
and the attention he still manages to
give the affairs of the university, even
though absent on his vacation, Is IN
dicative of his devotion to the wei
fare of the university, and of his meth
DDS of work.
During his absence in the northern
part of the territory DR.. Wilde has
kept in close touch with affairs. His
letters show that while ostensibly en-
ljoying a vacation he is i'm reality en-
gagged in working out plans for the good
of the educational institution of which
he is now the head and for its up
building. He is after publicity and he
is laying plans to improve conditions
and to make it easier for students in
poor circumstances to obtain a college
education when such is their earnest
desire.
Secretary Failor of the chamber of
commerce is in receipt of letter from
President Wilde in which the latter
showed his desire for additional public
| ity for the university by inquiring
whether it would not be possible to fn-
clude i'm the literature sent out by the
