it will be of interest to all of the
old time subscribers of the paper.
in addition to furnishing matters of
historical interest to the younger
readers.
This will be resume Of the do
ings in Greeley forty years ago,
VIXEN the colony was a mere infant
in cities and the Tribune was strug-
CLING forth each week in an effort
to disseminate the news of the
town, county, state and nation as
best it could with the facilities at
hand.
There are many alive today who
can recall the more important
events Of those days and to them
news items of 1872 will refresh
their memories. The younger readers
will find occasion for wOnderment in
some of the announcements that
were great news in those days.
For instance, in the edition of 40
years ago today, it is told that the
first street cars were operated in
Denver, there being nearly two
miles Of track completed. Those
who are now trying to support the
great Philharmonic society of Gree
ley will he interested to know that
the "New Musical Association" held
its first meeting in Colony hall.
A large portion OF EACH issue at
that time was taken up with the
story OF 'Rose Robbins. or Life
Among John Logan's Men,, by n.
&c. Meeker, the editor Of the paper.
Should an editor of today attempt
to print a continued story of his
.. own all over the front page Of every
issue, he probably would have to
leave town between two days. One
column Of advertising. four columns
Of Roses history, the "Music Of the
Wind Harp and a few clippingt
from magazines long since defunct
all winding up with a weighty quo
tation from Carlyle, completed tn
front page. TIE head lines wer,
but little larger than the type ant
there was not an item of local new
on the entire front page.
The editorial section made up i
vigOr and enterprise for any shOrt
comings the paper may have had, q
viewed from present day standard
The bargain of the Union Colon
with the railroad company for Ian
