AS The News is little late going to
press this week, we have noticed the
Grover paper, and append the following:
We notice in this weeks issue of The
Tri-City Press that the editor thinks the
time not ripe for county division. No
time is more .opportune than right now,
and every citizen of northeast Weld
county should consider it seriously.
Being the instigators of this question
of division of the county, we are not sell
fish enough to say that it concerns no
one but those of the Keota district. 1t
means everyone in northeast Weld
county, and in the very near future we
expect to confer with our neighboring
towns. If Editor Williamson thinks we
are on the wrong track we would be
pleased if he and others would come
down and confer with us.
For stylish and serviceable tailored

pany and guarantees satisfaction. If
During the past several months the
Union Pacific Railway company has en-
ployed number of homesteaders in
Cheyenne. About 200 men have recent
ly been laid off work, and naturally sew
eral men from keota were included in
turned home the past few days are Mr..
Ernst, Mr.. Griffin. John Roby, George
Boyer, d. w. Morrison. Ernest Scott,
Frank Hamilton, H. c. Vawter, Harry
Wecas, Roy Baltimore. A few of these
last named gentlemen have probably
only a temporary layoff, and several of
our citizens will later be given steady
employment. The railway company has
also cut down the working time from
54 hours week to 40 hours, working
eight hours day five days.
Both the Union Pacific and Colorado
& Southern railways Have been having
far more serious trouble and delays with
snowdrifts than the Chicago Burlington
& Quincy line, through here. Although
trains through here have frequently
been late they have not missed any trips.
From Cheyenne north and west the train
moving problem has been serious one,
and several days are often required to
open the road on certain divisions.
Rev. D. Markham returned, Wednes-
day, from Cheyenne. somewhat inn
proved in health. He expects to fill his
appointments here with more regularity
than he has been able to do during the
past few weeks. The News received
friendly call from Mr.. Markham and we
join in the unanimous expression of our
community in wishing for the reverend
gentleman and his family abundant
health and success.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. o. Dodder and Mrs.
C. w. Murphy drove to Briggsdale,
Tuesday, and took train for Denver.
They expected to visit the stock show
and Mr.. Dodder also attended the Lum-
berman's convention. Mrs. Murphy Wis
tied her mother Mrs. j. H. Ward, of
Denver, and the Keota party returned
home Friday.
L. A. jackson is taking out his pump
ing plant from the Wild Horse Co. well
and will install it in his new irrigating
well on which he had to stop work be-
cause of a seven-foot depth of water.
His further improvement of the we'll
| will probably establish large flow of
| water.
