DESK OF
GREELEY
FOR CITY
FAMOUS RELIC TO BE PLACED
IN MAYORS OFFICE
FATHER CASEY LANDS RELIC
Receives Letter Telling OF Valued
Souvenir and Has Succeeded in
Securing 1t for Use OF
the City

The desk on which Horace Gree
ley wrote the famous editorials IN
the New York Tribune that aroused
the country to the possibilities OF
the great west will soon become the
property OF the city of Greeley. 1t
will have place in the office or
Mayor Mayher and will remain
there for the use of future CHIEF
executives of the city.
The priced relic for Greeley is
made possible through the efforts
of Father Casey, who learned in
roundabout way that the desk was
in existence and then set about get
ting it for this city.
In a letter to Father Casey, Father
Swift, one of the editors Of "Amer-
ica", a leading Catholic publication,
told of a member of the staff of the
paper who had come into possession
of the desk after the death Of Gree
ley. The old office furniture was
abandoned for new, and admirers
and co-workers of Greeley bought
up the furniture that had graced his
sanctum. The present owner of the
desk communicated to Father Swift
that he would be glad to have the
city OF Greeley have the old desk
and that he would be willing to do
nate 1t to the city. II the freight
charges were paid and a guarantee
given that the valuable relic would
be given the best of care.
This assurance was given by
Father Casey. who will also pay the
freight. It is probable that the
first view of the desk will be had at
the annual Catholic fair this fall,
as it is hoped to have the priced gift
here by then.
According to the description there
is nothing very elaborate about the
old bit of furniture. It Is substan-
tial. of pine and devoid of any orna-
mentation.

THEATER
OFFERING
IS LIGHT
GREELEY WILL HAVE But FEW
GOOD ATTRACTIONS
M'COURT CONTROLS STERLING
Fort Collins May Be Cut Out and
Boulder Will Fare But Little
Better Bookings About
all Made

The theatrical season in Greeley
promises to l.. rather thin. me out
look is now that most OF the at
fractions that will come to Greeley
will be at the Sterling theater and
that the old opera house will prac-
tically be closed down.
This condition is brought about
by the new theater being affiliated
with the Peter McCourt circuit in
Colorado. All of the one night
stand bookings in the state are
handled by McCourt at Den
had no theater in Greeley last year,
as the o. opera house was run in
dependently OF the theatrical trust,
but by virtue OF being the only
theater here and there being no
competition 1t was not necessary for
1t to be affiliated with the McCourt
circuit.
Because of light business last
year the number of shows that will
come to Greeley this season will be
considerably reduced, possibly to
not more than half of the number
that appeared last year. The north
ern Colorado field has been care
fully surveyed and only the towns
luat gave eooo support laSt year
will be considered this season. 1t
is understood that Fort Collins will
be almost entirely cut out and
that Boulder will have but few at
fractions. Only the companies that
the sure to draw we'll will be sent to
Greeley
Under the arrangement of the
theatrical trust business Cort of
Seattle controls the bookings of all
of the one night stands in the Unit
ed States. The local managers of
opera houses are all but eliminated
in saying what shows shall or shall
not be presented.
Most of the bookings for the new
theater are already made for the
season but the list will not be an
nounced for some time.

CONTRACT LET
FOR HENRYLYN
WATER TUNNEL
Nnl Settle for all Time Matter OF
Water Supply for Henrylyn
Irrigation District

According to an agreement reach
ed yesterday James McIlwee of Grip
pie Creek, who established q new
worlds record in the boring of the
Laramie-Poudre tunnel, will begin
before October Is the construction
of an irrigation tunnel under the
continental divide, near the head OF
Clear creek, to divert the waters OF
the williams Fork of the Grand
river to the land included in the
Henrylyn irrigation project, north
east of Denver. The contract will
be signed when the contractor re-
turns to the city within the next
few days.
The tunnel will be 14,725 feet
long. At the contract price Of $40
foot its cost will be $589,OO0. BY
reason of the fact that a smaller
tunnel, 5000 feet in length, and
seventeen miles Of ditch west OF the
range will be necessary before the
main tunnel is utilized, the project
contemplates the expenditure Of
more than $1.0OO,0OO. The 5000
foot tunnel designed to avoid the
construction of seven miles of
bitches and fumes andthe seventeen
miles of bitches on the western
slope will cose approximately $780,
900.
The contractor will have three
years in which to finish the work,
as, in the opinion of the officers of
the Henrylyn district. the water
which the district controls on the
eastern side of the mountains will
be sufficient to irrigate all land
placed under cultivation during the
next two years. Seven hundred
second feet. or 119. 1000 acre feet, of
water will be carried through the
tunnel.
An Investigation of the site just
made by engineers and Mr.. McIlwee
indicates that the bore for its entire
length will be through solid granite.
The character of the ground is SINH
lar to that found in building the
Laramie-Poudre tunnel. in which
little timbering and concrete work
were necessary because of the cut
ting of pockets" or other loose for
nation in the mountain.
The altitude at the west portal
will be $3.50 feet and at the east
portal $500 feet, giving the tun-
mel SIS foot fall. All the water in
the Steelman, Bobtail and South
Fork creeks. feeders of the Williams
Fork, will be diverted and carried
through the tunnel. Clear Creek,
from the EASTERN portal of the tun-
mel to point near Riverside ceme-
terry, will form natural channel
for conducting the water into the
Henrylyn bitches northeast of Dem

now TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

How times have changed since was
young!
When l was a youngster in the old,
old home
We lived in log cabins withpuncheon
floors,
Wooden latches sufiiced-no locks on
the doors.
We were healthy then, with plenty
to eat,
Lots Of corn dodgers, potatoes and
meat,
Maple syrup. dried pumpkin and
much garden sass"
And we drank out OF gourds instead
OF a glass
We were happy, too, we dreamed not
of care;
No doctors, no lawyers; and preach
ers were rare,
But when they did preach, twas
from the book Of the Lord.
Twas no patent sermon; they could
prove every word.
People met as commanded, to praise
and to pray,
The gospel was theirs-they had
nothing to pay;
But now it is bought and paid for
in gold,
In receptions and festivals-'twas
not so OF old.
The people were honest in those good
old days,
No fraud or deceit mixed up in their
ways;
You could not buy principle with
all the cash coined,
A mans simple word was as good
as his bond.
The Government, too. was run on
the square,
No hypocritic state-crafte're entered
there,
While such men as Washington and
jackson took care of the fold;
Their successors are bought with
millions OF gold.
There was plenty and peace in those
days. long past,
No craven fear entered in any ones
breast;
No priest-craft, no bigots, no million
aires come
With guilt-laden souls to darken our
home.
God save our dear people from the
ruthless clan,
Monopolies and gold bugs who in
fest our fair land,
From the infamous monsters who
would sell their own souls,
And barter our liberty for their love
OF gold.
Oh. for the good old days once more.
With quiet and peace, as in days OF
yore,
when people viii live as in times OF
old,
With no thought Of greed-of silver
and gold.
