THE RAYMEI
Superintendent Copeland feels that
looking after the echools of this county
is strenuous job. According to one
of the Greeley papers he has found
that Weld county is three and one half
times the size of Rhode Island. twice as
large as Delaware, almost as big as
Connecticut and half the area of Ver-
mont. Some county and plenty large
to form another county when the time
is ripe and that time is near at hand.
From the call that Mrs. Barker is re-
ceiving for rooms, it would seem that
the time was ripe for the building of
good hotel building. OF course such
IN investment would not have been a
gilt edge proposition in the past, but
we believe the time has come when it
would pay reasonable rent and it
would be good thing for the town.
Mrs. Barker's present facilities ere too
limited for her regular boarders and
the growing trans 'ent trade. 1t tick
les US almost to death to see Raymor
justify the faith we have had in its fu-
ture. 1t will soon be no joke watch
ing Raymer grow.

The studding are 2xG, the rboms will
have high ceiling and it is being built
warm, there will be n modern store
front and best of all it will be filled
with the things that people need. So
far Mr.. Haley has been cramped for
room and had to content himself with
supplying the groceries which the peo-
pie demanded at his low prices. With
the opeuing of the new building he will
add dry goods, hardware and other
things. so that we will soon be able to
do all our trading in Raymer.
The Enterprise prints each week 275
copies. BY all of the accepted rules OF
computing readers ! 400 people read
the paper each week. The man who
advertises in this paper speaks to this
large number of people in the few min.
utes it takes to prepare the copy. In
those few minutes you have started
the ball to rolling and it never stops.
You go about your business, but your
