Greeley Tribune:
Since my last letter myself and
Mrs. Satiricus made trip Of Q
weeks duration down to San Diego
and have Just returned Weather
continues to favor us Colorado ten
derfeet" II has been clear and
wonderfully like Colorado weather
in September. They need the rain
here even more than we needed the
snow we got there for whereas the
normal precipitation from Septem-
Der l to February | is 5.45 inches,
this years fall only amounted to
2.l5. And yet, although We were
overjoyed at the snowfall there We
ran away from it and are personally
delighted with the fact that the
equally needed rain has not fallen
here. Such is the selhshness Of
human nature. All the lemon and
orange orchards are suffering for
want OF water, and show il by the
symptoms only too well known BY
all of us Colorado irrigationists. and
+ unless rains soon come it is gener-
, ally agreed that disaster is in sight.
| The frost did considerable dam

the eye. We are told that the iniury
is found in a light, dry orange II

THREE WELD COUNTY men
KNEW LINCOLN IN EARLY
DAYS BACK IN ILLINOIS

looked about and saw Lincoln seated
near one of the rear windows. his
long legs hanging over the sill. for
he was trying to keep cool. Along
came two young soldier boys and
asked me If could tell them where
Mr.. Lincoln could be found. l point
ed to him and said. Boys there is
President Lincoln and II you go up
and salute him have not the least
doubt but what he will salute in re-
turn The young boys stationed
themselves opposite the window.
drew themselves up and gave \ mill
tary salute Instantly the long legs
were pulled in the window. Lincoln
quickly arose and returned the sa-
lutte with dignity and graciousness.
Edward P. House was a clerk in
the war department at Washington
in the day time and at night spec
ial assistant to Adams 8. Hill. the
regular Warrington correspondent
to the New York Tribune. Every
night he went to Lincoln for the
news and was always courteously
received. Lincoln always came right
to the point and said, mo, Mr..
House. no news tonight" or yes.
Mr.. House. you may tell Horace so
and So" Mr. House says that Lin
coin would often call him back
while some general or public officer
talked over public matter so the
reporter could have the benefit Of
the interview for his paper. House
was the only person who took down
Lincoln's speech after he had re-
turned from the peace conference
instituted by A. H. Stevens. Camp
hell and Hunter of the Confederacy.
The president made the speech while
he stood on the porch OF the whit
house and House sat at his feet and
resting his book on the window ledge
took II down-the only account OF
the speech ever given.
Captain Birdsall was one Of Lin
coins special guards during the lat
ter's residence at the soldiers home
four miles north of Washington In
. 1862. Tad Lincoln. the presidents

any effort to make political capital
out of the present tariff agitation.
We feel, however. that any such re-
vision as is now proposed will work
definite hardship to every person
in Colorado, from the farmer who
grow sugar beets to the miner who
may be thrown out OF work by a
condition which will make certain
forms of mining Improbable. From
this standpoint alone We are oppos-
ing the reduction. and we shall do
everything in our power to kill, in
the proposed tariff measure. those
clauses which will affect this state
unfavorably."

Probably in no other city in Colo
RADIO can be found three men who
wore so intimately associated with
Abraham Lincoln during the period
in which he was the president OF the
United States as were Captain S. H.
Birdsan, John NJ. McCutcheon and
Edward p. House OF Greeley. who
held a reunion Monday and talked
over events and INCIDENTS connected
With the great man.
Almost eighty-three years old,
John NJ. McCutcheon, who was a
delegate to the Chicago convention
which nominated Lincoln, who twice
saw him inaugurated. was present at
his funeral. who met and talked with
Lincoln many times and who had

Illinois state legislature and as .
representative in the Colorado terri

]. A. Rumsey spoke OF the prob
able expense that would be met In
forming and maintaining new
county. and from figures at hand II
appears there would be over 100000

ence on the amount OF revenue In
the proposed now county. showing
that the assessed valuation in 1910
