COST OF
LIVING IS
DROPPING
GREELEY MERCHANTS FOLLOW
ING REDUCTIONS CLOSELY
EGGS AND BUTTER ARE DOWN
Family Bank Roll Not Wrecked SO
Badly Now in Paying for Things
to Eat-Meat Now Taking
Decided Drop

And now that the news has been
spread abroad to the effect that the
price of living is dropping at a
gratifying rate. father is thinking
with satisfaction CT the coveted In
vestment he will be able to make
since the family demands will be
less. mother has fully decided upon
that new rug for the living room and
Mary has turned her back upon the
hat she can AFFORD and turned her
eyes lovingly to the one she wants.
There will be more money than
usual in the family purse after the
grocery and meat bills are paid.
Greeley merchants follow the
drops in the market more closely
than any town IN the state, it Is
said. The decline has been gradual
for several months and more rapid
the last few weeks. For some weeks
the drop has been reported daily on
a. many as Ave or six articles. Ex-
cept on the brands where the price is
kept up by contract, cereals are
much cheaper. Eggs at 15 cents are
cheaper now than for several years.
Butter at % is also cheaper.
Flour remains practically the
same and fruits are much the same
with the exception OF dried fruits,
which are trihe higher on account
of a short crop in the states where
1t IL raised for evaporation. Pork
and lard have been dropping for
some time. Lard is now three
pounds for 45 cents. There is no
change IN the price of beef and will
not be until the grass fed stock is
on the market in July. Mutton is
two cents a pound cheaper than
few months ago.
Fresh vegetables remain about the
same in price.

TOURISTS
CAN COME
TO GREELEY
NO EXTRA CHARGE FROM DEN
YER FOR SlGHTSEERS
CITY NOW A COMMON POINT
HOmeseekers Already Taking Ad-
vantages of This Concession
Thousands of Tourists are
Expected This Season

Greeley is already beginning to
feel the benefit of being common
point in Colorado along with Pu-
eblo, Colorado Springs and Denver.
Last February this concession was
made at a meeting of the western
passenger association, the ruling to
apply to homeseekers and tourists
tickets from eastern and southern
points to Colorado. The tourists
tickets will not be placed on sale un-
til June /, but the homeseekers
rates are already in effect each first
and third Tuesday of the month and
the railroads report larger business
than ever in this line.
The effect of the new ruling is to
allow all homeseekers and tourists
to visit Greeley without additional
railroad fare. For instance, if a
tourist or homeseeker buys his
ticket to either Pueblo, Colorado
Springs or Denver, he may make the
side trip to Greeley without addl-
tional cost instead of having to pay
the round trip fare from Denver,
heretofore the nearest common
point to Greeley
This concession was won only
after hard fight by S. X. Martin,
general passenger agent for the Den
yer, Laramie and Northwestern. 1t
means that northern Colorado will
now be available to the sightseer and
homeseeker. Every passenger VINO
comes to Denver this summer on
tourist tickets will have the oppor-
tunity of taking the side trip to the
home OF the world famous spuds.
With the transportation facilities
now afforded from Denver 1t is ex-
pected that there will be thousands
of sightseers come here this sum-
mer who have never come before
going instead to Colorado Springs
and Pueblo, these being common
points reached without extra charge
Now they will be enabled to come
here in their sightseeing In the
state. When 1t is considered thai
the number OF tourists coming te
the state during the season from the
east and south approximates 100.
900 It can be expected that Greele,
will be visited by at least severa
thousands of these in its initial veal
as q tourist point.
