The gift Of 100000 to Davis Elkins

has conferred upon the people of his
state through the media of churches,
colleges, Young Mems Christian AS

hospitals. These things are not con-
fined to one city or section, but are
scattered throughout the state and the
benefits are enjoyed by many people.
This latest gift is one of special use
fitness. Davis Elkins college, named
for the former senator and his son-ifl-
law, the late Senator Elkins, has been
largely upheld by their generosity dur
ing its entire career, and has been
built up to high standard of scholas-

improved by the income provided by
his recent gifts and that which will
come from a similar gift from the Pres

Secretary McCrery of the Greeley
Commercial club left today for the
east where he will take charge OF
the state grains that will be shown
in competition with those of all parts
of the country.
Alfred Patek, secretary of the
state board of immigration. long ago
asked Mr.. McCrery to take charge OF
the work, but it was some time be-
fore he could persuade the directors
of the Commercial club to allow the
secretary leave of absence. 1t was
necessary to find man not only con-
versant with the various grains and
their fine points, but one familiar
with exhibition work and letting the
world know whence and why he
came into the east. He found the
combination in Mr.. McCrery and. as
result, Greeley and Weld county
will be in the foreground at an ex-
! hibition that will attract many
! thousands of prospective homeseek-
ers and land buyers.
