GENUINE
STEAMER
BUILDING
WILL BE LAUNCHED ON SEELY
LAKE AT EARLY DATE
SURE ENOUGH STERN WHEELER
Will Garry Forty Passengers and
Engine Came Out of Old Auto
First Steamboat Built
in Weld County

Greeley may eventually be port
of entry and get slice of the con-
gressional appropriation from the
rivers and harbors bill.
Greeley is to have a real, sure
enough stern wheel steamboat, OF
the sort that did not stop at Green
City on the Platte in early colonial
days. w. w. Hennick is the builder
OF this strange water craft that will
be ploughing the turbid waters of
Seelys' lake within the next ten
days. The impromptu shipyard is
on the rear of MIR. Hennick's lot on
Fourth street, and the hull of the
boat is already finished. 1t is "a
feet long and eight feet wide, fiat
bottom, and draws IL inches of
water. The motive power is to be
a 12-horse gasoline engine from q
dismantled automobile, which will
be placed in the rear OF the boat,
and is expected through the 24-inch
velop a speed of "a knots or less.
The boat will be fioored and COW
cred with a canopy from end to
end. 1t will easily carry forty pass
engers in safety. 1t will be ready
10 Iauncn IN ABOUT 10 days, ana 1G
to be christened THE Folly 1t
will be hauled to the lake on large
transfer trucks.
So far as known this is the first
stern wheel boat to be launched
north of Denver. where they have a
similar, but larger stern wheeler on
Sloan's lake. Forty years ago
parties tried to boom a townsite al
Green City. in eastern Weld county,
on the banks of the Platte river. In
their prospectus they printed pic
ture of the embryo city, with
steamboats, plying up and down the
river, but that is as near to actual
construction as they ever got. Need
less to say. their literature was in.
tended wholly for eastern distribu-
tion.

That Weld county will eventually
become one of the principal dairying
communities in the west, and per-
petuate her prosperity in doing so,
is statement made by number of
level-headed persons who are in a
position to speak with authority.
This part of Colorado has not
taken kindly to the dairy business
in the past. There was too much
wheat, potatoes and alfalfa. with big
yields and good prices, and the sug-
gestion that farmer tie himself
down to staying on the job every
day in the year by keeping herd of
dairy cattle did not meet with much
favor. Thimes are changing, how
ever, and the big yields and high
prices of spuds. wheat and alfalfa
have suffered somewhat. Some
farm lands are not as productive as
they once were, except when highly
fertilized at heavy expense. The
lands that produce the big crops
have increased in price, too, until
the net profit for the average renter
isn't SO great.
| 1t is about the time, when people
are finding out this fact, that the
old COW is beginning to score. A few
creameries have obtained a foot
hold in northern Colorado, precari-
Gus at first, 1t is true, but with
steadily increasing output as the
months go by. And the farmers
who have been induced by much
persuasion to take Old Bossy's milk
to creamery, and to buy few more
like her, only better, are discovering
that they have little money in the
house all the time, and that, some
how, the debts get smaller anG
smaller while the land that in late
years had failed to raise big crops
is again coming into its own. Neigh
bors profited by the example, ant
the leaven has just begun to work.
A few years ago milk conden
sery was installed at Fort Lupton
Gradually increasing in number o
its patrons, it is now using the mill
from more than 1000 cows, owned
by about 1875 patrons. The Silve
State creamery at the same place /
doing good business as well as tn
condensery. And Lupton is pros
porous all the year around.
A year ago condensery was bull
at Johnstown by the same corpora
tion that owns the Lupton plan
The farmers, none too enthusiast
at the start. would now feel it re;
calamity II the condensery shoul
go out of business. 1t uses the mil
. of over 100 cows, has 81 patrons,
whom 1t pays checks as high as $50
per month each.

The value of Colorado farm pro-

s1O4, 4,OS5,S9S, according to the gov
ernment Crop Reporter which has
reached here.
Reduced to a per capita basis, this
large sum represents about $500 for
each family in the state.
The figures given by the govern
ment estimate are based upon con-
ditions that obtained in each county
on July l. although recent rains
have aided every section. In view
of this the value Of the farm pro-
