Miss Greer is no longer the lone oc-
cupant of her quarters in the Whittier
house, her two sisters having arrived
from Grover last Saturday to keep her
campany. The younger one, a girl of
some nine years, adds one to the school
attendance in Raymer.
The men arrived in town Tuesday to
set up the heating plant at the school
house and as result the school chill
dren enjoyed half holiday Tuesday af-
tenoon. 1t is hoped the new plant
will be an improvement over the stove
heretofore in use and keep the room at
an even temperature in all parts which
it was impossible to do before.

following day. They will visit here for
a short time before going to their Ne

The Enterprise man is still dividing
his time between house building and
the newspaper and the appearance of
the paper will prove the truth of the
Scriptural saying, that a man cannot
serve two masters. We are free to ad-
nit that the high wind of Monday and
the threatening aspect of the weather
has made US mighty anxious to devote
most Of our time to getting the house
enclosed. However, Mr.. RBrker has
kept the thing hot frem the start, and
by getting a boost ,irom Claude Lay
cock the last shingle was laid yester-
day and we feel that the advantage is
on our side from now on. Y

lily In South End of the
City.

Normal students sitting out on
the campus in front of the main
building Wednesday afternoon were
shocked to see murder committed by
sparrows living in the entrance hall.
The parent birds seemed to be try
ing to get rid of their three young
baby birds and took one at time by
the wings, carried it out into the
open and dropped it on the pave
ment in front of the building.
The fall killed two of the little
ones and when the parents came
out with the third baby the stu
dents caught it with view to see
ing what was wrong.
Neither old bird seemed to feel
badly over the attempted murder of
the entire family and no reason
their unusual conduct. At last it
was found that the surviving bird
was blind and the parents evident
ly knowing this, chose this spartan
method of ridding themselves of the
burden of caring for them when it
was evident the babies would never
be able to do for themselves.
The only theory advanced for the
birds blindness is that as the nest
is in the entrance way where the
electric lights are burning at night,
the brides eyes were exposed to
the intense light too soon, and their
eyesight was destroyed.
Those interested are watching to
see If the parents will continue to
reside in the old home or If they
too realize the dangers of the con-
tinued light and before the next
family of little ones arrive. will find

TEST OF ALL
LAND VALUES
Preparing Data for suit That the
County Will File for S6O,OoO
Taxes for 1910

That the Union Pacific is prepar-
ing for battle in court over its
Weld county taxes tor l'lo,
amounting to 100000, is indicated
in the reports TO the effect that
agents of the company are going
over the territory covered by the
railroad with the view of securing
assessed values of the land con-
tigious to that of the company.
1t is said that the company Will
attempt to show in court that the
state board of equalization has tax
ed the Union Pacific upon valua-
ton of 33 1-3 per cent. while
private individuals have not been
taxed so heavily.
Additional interest is attached to
this suit in that in 1911 the Union
Pacific has added largely to its
trackage in Weld county and the
valuation returned by the state
board of equalization is increased
nearly three quarters of million
dollars.

COLORADO MUST
SUPPLY NATION
WITH POTATOES
Drought Has Demonstrated Super.
tor1ty Of Irrigation Lands to In
sure Good Crops

Denyer, June 27.-Denver is suf-
fering from a potato famine and,
according to grocers and commits
sion merchants, there is no hope for
relief for the next five weeks. The
wholesale price today is $4.75 per
hundred pounds. Six dollars per
hundred Is expected this week.
FIVE cents pound is the pre-
valline p being received for the
erstwhile .0wly tuber by all the
larger downtown stores.
NAM Of the stores in the resi-
dental districts are asking 6A cents
per pound, and this in all likelihood
will be the uniform price before
the harvest of the Colorado potato
crop brings relief, five weeks hence
The potato famine has brought
to light peculiar fact which shows
to advantage the irrigated farm
lands as compared with those that
depend for their moisture upon
natural precipitation. Potato crops
in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ne
braska have succumbed to the
drought, while the Colorado crop,
with the advantage of irrigation,
promises this year to become the
chief market for the entire country.

BEAUTY FROM
GOOD HEALTH
THEIR SLOGAN
Physical Culture TO Be Taught the
Women and Girls of Greeley
BY Experts

Greeley may have physical cul-
ture school for girls and women. if
the plans of Misses Nj. f. Smith and
H. Mann, both of Kansas City, are
carried out. Both are experts in
the art OF physical development for
women and know the secrets of at
tanning beauty through physical
exercise and correction of minor
deformities.
The young women are here look
ing over the field with the view OF
establishing permanent school
such as are maintained for women
and girls in other cities. They are
proving that the road to health is
not through drugs but by proper
care of the body and correcting bad
habits Of living and acting.
They make specially of the Fry
baTger system of exercise, which
has been generally adopted through
the middle west. They work with
small classes so that each member
has individual attention. Physical
instruction for women Is rapidly
gaining place in the west, and 1t
is believed that Greeley will enlist
heartily in the cause of better looks
and more robust health for its
fairer sex. Misses Smith and Mann
are stopping at the Marlborough.

FINE List of Attractions This Season
Expected to Draw Some Inn
mense Crowds

Ticket sellers for the annual
chautauqua in Greeley began work
Tuesday morning and it is hoped
they will be able to dispose OF
enough season tickets to insure
financial success.
Those familiar with the offerings
in the past are much pleased with
the list of attractions this year and
they declare that the talent is the
best that has even been secured.
Dates set are July to Is. The
chautauqua will be held at the
usual place, Meeker field, the site
of the new high school.
Season tickets are being sold for
50. These admit to all of the at
fractions during the eight days.
Tickets good for evening and Sum
day afternoon attractions are sold
for $3.50. These are designed for
business men who cannot attend
during the day. Children 5 tickets
admitting to all are Sl.50. Single
admissions will be 35 cents, except
for the special attractions, when the
single admission price will be 90
cents.

ELIMINATING MIDDLEMAN
BEING TRIED BY GROWERS

There is another movement on
to eliminate the middlemen from
the marketing of farm, garden and
orchard products. We hope the in
telligent and progressive men in
these ind stries will take hold of
the proposition and make it win.
The extortions of commission
houses, aided and abetted by the
railroad and express companies,
have cut producers and consumers
as two-edged sword. In many in
stanses there is difference of 200
per cent in prices paid producers
and those charged consumers. The
average is far below that figure, OF
course, but the middlemen's rake
off is big enough to keep many pro-
ducers hard up" and most con-
sumers broke" Surely the
thousands who have produce to sell
and the other thousands who must
buy can muster the coura, and in
telligence to solve this problem

Kansas City, Mo-, June ga
scorching wind from the south has
blown all day over eastern and CEN
tral Kansas, western Missouri and
oklahoma, greatly damaging grow
ing crops and sending temperatures
to new high records. Reports from
but one county in Missouri tell of
rain. This was at Hartville, in
Wright county.
In Kansas City the temperature
reached 100 degrees.
At Salina and Mcpherson, Kan,
the temperature reached ia de-
grees, breaking the records for the
last 26 years. Temperatures in
other Kansas towns today were:
Manhattan, 113; Abilene, 112;
Concordia, 102; Emporia, l06;
kinsley, 100 and Strong City, III.
Yesterday was the hottest June
25 since the local weather bureau
was established in Oklahoma City,
the mercury attaining a maximum
of 103. The heat was intensified
by hot wind. The heat is general
throughout Oklahoma, maximum
of Ill degrees being recorded at
Blackwell.
Special dispatches received to-
night from crop experts of 13 states
show that the rains of the past few
days have helped growing crops in
the Middle West. West and South
west, but that heavy rains must
come within the next two weeks to
save corn in many localities. Pota-
toes are generally a failure.
Pastures are in a bad way, oats
and hay are cut very short Wheat
