Bridges Being Built and Improve
ments are the Order of the
Day Over There

LaSalle. April 26.-There is con-
siderable street grading going on
here by the town board and Paul
Gregory is personally participating
in the grading campaign by putting
Virginia street, which runs past his
residence property in fine shape.
The city is also putting a new ce-
ment bridge over Union ditch near
the Gregory residence, long felt
need, thus eliminating a curve in
the wagon road dangerous to those
unfamiliar with the road at night.
A second bridge is also going in
over the ditch and by it the people
of the south will be able to take =
more direct and satisfactory route
into LaSalle.
Everything points toward making
LaSalle a very important division
point on the Union Pacific. 1t is
said that early in June the round
house will be enlarged by the addi-
ton of six new stalls. For some
time the present round house, built
only few years ago, has been in
adequate.

CHICKEN COOPS
May BE SAFE

1t is believed that the mystery of
the theft of thousands of chickens
which has taken place in Weld
county during the past few months
has been solved by the arrest of
three men which was made by Dep
uties Peterson and Frazier in the
west part of the county Sunday.
The men, who are between the ages
of is and 81, give their names as
E. NJ Thornburg of Loveland, and
two brothers, NJ. l.. and j. w. kauff-
man, who say they are from Mis-
souri,.
When arrested the men were
driving a covered wagon which was
found to be ingeniously fitted with
three tiers of chicken coops, filled
with chickens. Over the coops hay
was loosely thrown. 1he men say
that they traded a colt for the
chickens.
Since last September it has been
known that chicken thieves were
working Systematically in Weld
county. Farmers lost hundreds OF
chickens and turkeys. Recently
Platteville. Fort Lupton. Johnstown
and Mead lost so heavily that spec
ial deputies were detailed in these
districts. Their suspicion pointed
to the trio arrested today.
1t is alleged the men secured the
chickens and then turned them
over to peddlars who disposed OF
the fowls on market.

ELMER ROYDEN
DROPS HIS WAD

Evans, April 27.-A thrilling
poker game played here Thursday
night, in which Elmer Royden, a
ditch worker, lost $500, his savings
for more than a year, and with
which he intended to return to his
home in Chicago, came to light to-
day. Royden came in Thursday
night from where he has been work
ing, southeast of here, with big
wad of money. He fell in with
stranger. who said his name was
Nicholas Carter. Two other men
joined the two and game was sug-
gested.
Royden won steadily most of the
night and at one time says he had
$500 coming to him. Finally, he
says, he was told that one of his
companions owned the right to one
of the saloons which are to be open
ed here, and that it was worth at
least 81, 500. He put in all his win
nings and his own savings against
the right to run the thirst parlor
and what his companions had left.
He lost: general fight followed,
and in the melee he was knocked
unconscious.
) When he awoke next morning he
found himself in a strange part OF
town and minus every cent as well
as a valuable watch and stick pin.
He says he realized that he was the
victim of bunco game and did not
complain to either the police of this
city or the sheriff's office at Gree

MNy should we pay 40c to st.

ne4atlyely, soc would be high. All
oIher cities in Missouri should have
mat same reduction.
Why should Wisconsin have rates
10 any points in Oklahoma as low
as from the Greeley District? Dis
tance from Wisconsin is much
greater, and Oklahoma is Colorado's
h"luFa! market, yet about 20 per
cehl Of the cities have lower rates
iiom Wisconsin, and the balance of
the rates from Wisconsin are not
near as high as should be. And
Why Is the rate Northbound from
Oklahoma to Denver at least sc less
than the down-hill rate from Denver
and Greeley?
Why should not Louisiana rates
be lower from the Greeley district
than from Wisconsin? That States
trade belongs TO Colorado. and dis
tahce much shorter from the Gree
ley district; and if the uphill pull
to Colorado with 1000 pounds
minimum is only worth 47c, why
should not the down-hill pull from
Colorado to Louisiana with 5000,
pounds minimum be the same?
Where is the reason for rates from
5SC to SSc one way, and 41c rate
the other?
Why should Texas have a $4,000
pound minimum and a 47c rate to
Denver, and Denver and Greeley pay
5Sc with a 10000 pound minimum
to Texas.
Why should the Greeley District
pay - to 35c higher rate to almost
all cities in Georgia, Mississippi,
Tennessee and Alabama? We
should have a 40c rate to Memphis,
and the locals beyound cut 80 per
cent to equalize with Wisconsin
rates and distances.
In conclusion, why should Idaho
have a rate only 10c higher than
the Greeley District rate. and 700
miles further to haul, with the re-
suit than all shipments into Gree
ley Districts natural territory takes
that many shipments from this dis
triCt, and makes us seek new out

Kindly consider the above. and
compare the figures. Something
must be done.

WHY RATS
HIT HERE
IS KNOWN
CAME UP THE RIVER FEEDING
ON SWEET FIBRE OF SUGAR
BEETS-WORSE THAN EVER
THIS SEASON

After several years speculation
as to how Greeley became infested
with rats. it is believed that the
real cause has been discovered and
that the refuse from the Sugar fac
tory, which goes into the Poudre
river has been the means Of tolling
the rodents from Nebraska to this
state. 1t is said that the water
in the river is full Of sweet fibers
of the beet pulp and that these
lodge along the banks of the rivers
and that the rats seem especially
fond of this feed and have followed
the river up the banks as far as
Greeley.
A few years ago there was not
rat in Greeley as far as known.
Last season the town was overrun
with the pests and hundreds of
chickens were killed. This season
they seem to have increased in
numbers and are especially bad in
east Greeley. At the Wagner home
there has been between 200 and 300
killed this season. In a small pile
of rubbish at the East Side Market
a crowd of men found and killed
"a large rats one afternoon this
week. 1t is said that the walls of
cellars and Easements are being
seriously damaged by the rats.
The problem of exterminatiHg
the pests seems serious one ana
residents are asking for methods to
be published in the papers.

REDUCED RATES ON SPUDS
Being ASKED railroads
BY SHIPPERS OF GREELEY

preeley may get a reduction on
potato freight rates that will mean
saving of more than 100000 a
year, besides opening scores of mar
kets Tor our tubers where we are
now shut out, if efforts now under
way by the Greeley Commercial
clup bear the promised fruit.
1t has been known for long
Iiine that this section was gradually
pelhs smut out of manv GOOD mar
kets through unjust freight rates,
ana Tor some time past the traffic
committee of the Commercial club
mas been engaged in compiling
llst OF points where alleged discrim-
nation exists, This list is now
reasonably complete. and in printed
form consists of 30 pages of names,
over $50 stations where a lower rate
on potato shipments would be con-
sistent, as compared to Wisconsin
rates.
copies of these lists go forward
today to the heads of the freight de-
partments of the various railroads
interested in the Greeley district
rate situation, along with a letter
explaining the matter, and asking
FOR a remedy. 1t is believed that
when brought before the roads in
the proper light that some relief
will be granted. If no such good
news is in sight, then the matter
will be laid before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and pushed
to the inevitable end. The letter
follows in full:
Enclosed find comparative rates
on potatoes from Colorado and Wis
consin to about $50 various points
in different states. Rates given
were furnished by various railroads.
1t is plain to us that these rates
are out of line, and should be ad-
justed.
Why should Wisconsin have a csc
rate to Omaha, and other cities in
Nebraska. and Greeley a 35c rate
to the same points, for the same
distance? The rate should be the
same.
Why should not Kansas, Greeley
Territory's natural market, have a
sc rate to the eastern border the
same as Wisconsin has? The dis
tance is about the same.
Why should not Arkansas rates
be the same from either state? Dis
tance is about equal. but rates from
Greeley District are about 20 per
