II was refreshing to note in d recent
New York paper that banquet was to
be given the church choir OF a certain
denomination, and that the members OF
the official board and their wives had
charge of IT, 1t seems to be the proper
thing to give the minister and his wife
the receptions and think little about the
choir except to eritieise, and when a
church deliberately gives a banquet to
show its appreciation Of the work its
choir il doing year in and year out, il
IS worthy Of mention. Whether singing
for pay or otherwise, choir is largely
responsible for the success OF any re-
hgious gathering, II gives enthusiasm.
Let any minister, however, eloquent, so
into his pulpit Sunday after Sunday and
try to enthuse his hearers either with
his message or congregational singing
and see how we'll he thinks he has sue
ceedcd at the close Of the service. The
choir put in their time and energy and
it will not hurt them in the least to feel
that they are appreciated. Here's hop

Brought From England to James
town in 1907 and Now Goes into
| New Episcopal Edifice

A brick, which was brought from
England and used in the building OF
the first Episcopal church in Amer
lea, at jamestown, the first perma-
nent English settlement, in 1907, is
in the possession of Rev. B. w. Bon
ell and will be set in stone and
placed in the new Episcopal church
of Greeley.
The relic will be given place of
honor in the keystone of the arch

at jamestown several years ago, be-
fore the church was restored by the
Daughters of American Revolution
Work is progressing rapidly or
the new church. A change has beer
made in the original plans whereof!
two inches will be added, one or
each side of the main archway undel
the chancel. The window frames ant
doors are now being set and th
broken asher stone work is provin
effective. If good weather continue
1t NJ probable that the church will b
completed by Easter.

Total disruption among the groc-
ers of Greeley was threatened yes
terday afternoon when a special
meeting was being held to consider
matters of greatest Importance to
every retailer and wholesaler In the
CITY. For time it looked as though
something would be doing with fists,
clubs and guns, but just as riot cail
was about to be sent to the city hall
oil was poured on the troubled wat
ers and today all is again merry as
"A marriage bell.
1t all came about during discus
sion of the plans for the convention
next week. Everyone agreed that
the program was all right and when
IT was decided to have special COM
mittee 20 to Denver to select and
pass upon the attractions for the big
convention show that is to be held
next Tuesday there came rift IN the
lutte. Every one wanted to be on the
committee to look over the star at
fractions that are to be culled from
the best theatres OF Denver.
"That Job for me-" said we'l
known wholesaler when the subject
was broached.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT
MAY COST AN EYE

James Clements, an employe OF
the Northern Colorado Power COM
pany. met with peculiar accident
yesterday afternoon that probably
will cost him the sight Of one eye.
While standing in front OF the Orr
blacksmith shop on Seventh street
he suddenly felt a pain in his eye,
remarking to a friend that some
thing had blown into 1t. Finding
blood on the handkerchief that he
applied to the injured member. he
hurried to a physician to find that
the ball had been penetrated by a
small steel silver that had evidently
flown OF 4 piece Of metal that was
being chiseled In the blacksmith
shop.
Clements lives in Boulder and had
come here recently TO work at the
sub station of the electric company.
1t 10 feared that he will not recover
sight in the eye. ~ the wound IL
deep and OF an unusual nature.

GRAHAM IS
GARRlGUES
SUCCESSOR
FORT COLLINS ATTORNEY IS AP-
POINTED BY GOVERNOR
IS FRIEND of GOVERNOR
Announcement Will Come as Sur
prise to Many in Greeley Who
Hoped That n Local Man
Would BE Honored

Neil Graham of Fort Collins Is the
new district Judge to take the place
made vacant by the elevation OF
Judge Garrigues to the supreme
court
The appointment was announced
in Denver this morning by Governor
Shafroth. 1t will come as surprise
to many in this judicial district. as
recently 1t has been believed that
the next judge would be either R. G..
Strong OF Greeley or c. A. Bennett
of Boulder.
In making the appointment Gov
ernor Shafroth said:
Neil Graham is my personal
friend and a man in whom | have
every confidence. He is suited by
temperament and judicial training
for the position to which he has been
appointed. After he has served the
people of that district for two years,
until the next election. they will re-
turn him to the bench of their own
accord"
While it was known that the gov
ernor entertained the highest regard
| for Judge Graham, the appointment
was unexpected. 1t is among the
first the governor has announced
since being inaugurated for his Sec
ond term, and was also among the
most imperative, since there is need
of Judge in the Weld county court
because of the large amount of busi-
mes that has accumulated. Judge
Garrigues did not resign after his
. election to the supreme bench, bu
, did not sit after he had cleared uI
the business that had to be attended
by himself The docket has run be-
hind as consequence.
Neil Graham, the new judicial ap-
pointee. is resident of Fort Collins,
a member OF the law firm of Herring
& Graham. He came to Collins ABOUT
two years ago from Washington
Kan, and stands we'll with demo-
Gratis and republicans alike. HIS
candidacy was indorsed by the Fort
Collins Bar association and the ap-
pointment will give general satisfac-
ton in that city.

DIRECTORS
RETAINED
CACHE La POUDRE BOARDS ARE
BUT LITTLE CHANGED
INSURGENTS BACK DOW n
Record Attendance at Annual Meet
ings of Two Companies-Reduc-
ton Is Made in Assessment
of Ditch Company

The insurgents failed to insurge
very much at the meetings yesterday
afternoon of the New Cache la
Poudre Irrigating company and the
Cache la Poudre Reservoir company,
held In Odd Fellows hall. In both
companies practically the same
boards of directors were elected and
1t is expected that no change will be
made in the officers.
Directors elected for the irrigating
company are as follows:
II. N. Bickling, B. C. Rienks. A. N.
Lyster. David Kelley and C. H. Rea.
OF these Mr.. Bickling and Mr..
Lyster are new. taking the places Of
s. A. Bradfield and Lewis Kern.
For the reservoir company the
new board consists of the same men
with the exception of Mr.. Rea, Mr..
Kern having his place.
The annual assessment for the
reservoir was placed at 50 per share
on the basis of $24 per right. A re-
duction was made In the ditch assess
ment. from 50 to SO cents. the rights
being reduced from $16 to -.
The meeting was attended by
the largest number of stockholders
yet appearing at the annual gather
ings. A larger percentage of the
stock was registered than ever be-
fore and interest In the proceedings
throughout was keen.
For some weeks prior to the meet
ings 1t was rumored that an effort
would be made to oust the old board
of directors by those who had made
charges OF mismanagement. but
within q few hours OF the meeting
time this sentiment died. The men
who had made charges of misman-
agement admitted that they had
done SO without thorough investiga-
tion and In the meeting withdrew
statements they had made rejecting
on the officers of the companies.

tion in sewing and the ladies were
shown the proper way in which

fitted.
The children OF the farmers are
not being neglected. and yesterday
