OF stock subscribed by the Gill farm
ers and business men at a meeting
Of the Gill Commercial club last
night and with encouragement given
from other sources, the establish
ment Of the Gill creamery in the
near future is an assured thing.
Farmers to the number of fifty
attended the meeting last night, all
anxious to learn OF the project and
although Chas. Keys. the expert
creamery man of Denver. formerly
OF Peckham. was unable to be pres

and " H. Flood, who were in the
dairy business in the east, gave re-
suits Of their experiences.
President Shepherd of the Com
mercial club was in the chair and
]. S. Harrison acted as secretary.
A letter was read from the Osgood
farmers stating that that if a skim

place the farmers would milk from
100 to $50. cows for the Gill cream
cry. While 1t was impossible to
make definite arrangements with
the Oegood people at this time their

A committee consisting of c. r..

will be supplied for the creamery.
They will get to work Immediately

FARMERS TALK
OF SCALE FOR
beet WORKERS
Eaton Farmers Union FhvOrs New
Plan-May he AtSoi'ted
Next Year

Eaton, Jan. 22.-With r. l.. Hay
thorn In the chair and DR.. George
Candlin, actig secretary. the Eaton
Farmers Union met in the w. .. w.
hall Saturday night and conducted
it's regular monthly meeting dis
cussing topics of importance 10
farmers. The main subject OF the
evening was that of the establish
ment Of sliding scale system OF pay
ment to beet laborers. Heretofore
the beet laborers have been PAID
$50 an acre without regard to yieia,
generally, although some farmers
in the last two years have maae
their own contracts with thel'
hands. Where yields have been
small the beet laborer has received
more from the crop than the grower
when paid $40 an acre regardless
of tonnage.
The idea is that there should pc
maid something like $40 an acre up
to the topping season when the iao-
orer should then should receive on
the basis of tonnage for his Worh'
Farmers have already made CON
tracts with their laborers for nex'
season and for this reason no ueu-
mite action was taken on n nniiorh,
system of payment. 1t is heiieFeu
that by the 1913 season some UNI
form system will be adopted e
meeting also discussed the pareeis
post generally approved by inc
farmers.

H0LSTE|N
cows FOR
J0HNST0WN

Johnstown, Jan. 23-After a
month spent in western New York
selecting good Holstein cows, w. A
Puryis and George A Jones arrived
home this morning with sixty head
of cows taken from the best herds
in the state. The COWS will cost
close to 500 each and will be pur-
chased by the Johnstown farmers
who furnish milk to the .Iohnstown
Condensory.
Although the Condensory has
been established only about year
it has already proven itself splen-
did source of income to the farmers
in this territory. Several hundred
farmers are now furnishing milk to
the factory and pay checks average
about $40 0monthly to each farmer
While there has been a fair grade of
cows handled by the farmers, the
latter have decided to put their
money in only the best stock from
now on.
The coming of the herd this morn
ing marks new era in the history
of the dairy business here and will
make Johnstown a close second to
the Fort Lupton district as milk
producer. Hundreds of acres are
planted to alfalfa in this locality
and about 500 acres additional will
be planted this spring for pasture.

WELD COUNTY
PEOPLE KNEW
WIFE SLAYER
Archie ID. Camp Murdered Wife and
Tried tO Kill Her Mother and
Then Himself

A tragedy which will interest the
many residents of Weld county who
formerly lived in or near Adrain,
Mich, was recorded in the eastern
papers last week. The victims OF
the tragedy are we'll known to
many people here. Following is a
clipping from the Adrain Daily Tele-
gram:
"As a result OF family troubles.
during which bill of complaint was
filed twice by Mrs. Kamp. Archie
D. Kamp shot and almost instantly
killed his wife, shot his mother-in-
law. Mrs. Harrison Calkins, through
the right breast and then sent a
bullet into his own temple, shortly
after o'clock yesterday afternoon,
in the rooms occupied by the two
women at 40 South Center street. "
The act was clearly premeditated,
Kamp having written five letters to
his relatives. explaining his motive
and arranging for the care OF his
three year old daughter"
Latest reports are to the effect
that It is thought Kamp and his
mother-in-law will recover.

CASH FOR
new HALL
EQUIPMENT

The Guggenheim building at the
Teachers college will have $4,000
to spend for equipment from the
100000 of the appropriation recent
ly allowed to that institution.
Since the opening of the fall
term at the college the equipment
of the Gugenheim building has been
of the most meagre sort, for tenn
porary use The $500 OF special,
appropriation for its furnishings:
has been held up with others of like
character, for want OF funds. Now
that half the appropriations are
ready to be paid, the instructors in
the industrial arts department are
as busily interested in selecting
their new equipment as small boy
in choosing his new marbles.
The entire building will be equip
ped with shades, thirty drawing
tables of latest design will be plac-
ed in the art room on the top floor
The pottery room will have added
conveniences. The offices of Pro-
fessors Hadden and Ernesti will be
suitably furnished The power and
machinery rooms will be fitted with
individual motors, new lathes Will
be put in and a power band saw ad-
ded. Wood working benches in the
wood working room will make the
students tasks easier and pleas
anter.
The rest of the available 100000
will be used to pay for the new
heating plant recently installed. 1t
is believed that nearly all of the
original appropriations will be
available before the close of the
biennial period for which they We're
made

day one of the horses died and And

ed owner with violating the state
health law

gonning's court yesterday. Vande-
pool alleged that he did not have a
square deal and declared that Judge
Tregonning should be held respon-

price for land in the vicinity of
Greeley was paid Monday by Bruce
G. Eaton when he received the deed
for the east so acres of the farm of
William Stanley at Lucerne. The
consideratiOn was $4,000, or at the
rate OF $3.50 per acre.
The only time when this price
was Reached before was in the sale
of the Charles Brockway place in

ton OF the real estate market at

ceeded 10 be a record breaker.
Mr.. Stanley Will retain the west
80 acres of his place on which his
home stands and has 240 acres in
the vicinity of Ault.

way. Both Mr.. Eaton and Mr.. STAN
ley Were on their way home from
WashingtOu where they had been to
testify before the congressional
committee Investigating beet sugar
condition.. They fell to discussing
their land in this county and what
the returns had been from the vari-
Gus crops. Mr., Stanley remarked
that his books showed that the so
acres had brought him about $4,000
year
''What win you take for that
eighty" asked Mr.. Eaton.
II was offered $500 an acre fol
it several years ago. replied Mr.
Stanley. but | wouldn't take less
than $3.50 now"
Mr. Eaton's reply was to pull ou
$3.50 in bills and pass them to Mr.
STANLEY,
''That will bind the bargain" HI
said. Give me the deed as soon a
we gel home"
Mr.. Stanley was thunderstruc'
| for q moment, but fulfilled his par
of the agreement.
