c. R. McCabe
Assessor Of the County

Il w.
c. r. McCabe is Crowley coun-
ty's assessor but he had far rath-
er be called Farmer McCabc than
Assessor McCabe for as he says
he is not politician but farmer
and stock raiser. That is found
to be quite true when il is known
that Mr.. McCabe is one Of the
largest farmers and stock raisers
in the county. He owns large
ranch about seventeen miles north
of Ordway where he spends part
of his time since he has been in
office and virtually all his time
was spent there prior to his cleo
tion.
Mr.. McCabe was appointed by
Governor Shafroth when the coun-
~ was first organized in 1911 and
when the first county election
was held in the fall OF 1912 he was
again placed in that office by the
will Of the voters OF the county.
He enjoys serving the people but
that has not caused him to lose
any interest in the greatest game
yet, that OF farming and STOCK
raising, and is at present large
feeder OF cattle. keeping also a
large number Of horses and mules.
The Ordway new era., 1914-01-02
Harry Coll
County Commissioned

Harry Gull, county commissioner
from the west end district, is one of
Crowley county's pioneers. He came
to this section of the state twenty
years ago and has been identified
with farming interests ever since. At
the present time Mr.. Gull is the
manager for the Colorado Farm and
Livestock company which has large
holding in this county, the bulk of
which is represented in the Olney
Springs district. This company has
one tract Of l2O acres of bearing ap-
pie trees, familiarity known as the
W. C.. Bradbury orchards.
Mr.. Gull was elected county COM
missioner in the fall Of 1912, the first
election to be held in the county
after it's creation. He was elected to
the short term and has another year
to serve the county He is, however,
in active management Of the inter-
ests Of the Colorado Farm and Live
stock comapny's interetst. and is an
agriculturist by profession and pref
erence rather than a politician.
When Mr.. Gull came to this coun-
The Ordway new era., 1914-01-02

ty, which was then part Of Otero
county, he was superintendent Of the
famous Boston Farm company's
large holdings. This company had
tracts of land that aggregated in the
neighborhood Of 10000 acres Of
choice lands in Crowley county.
About 5000 acres Of this land was
located near Ordway and the bal
ance in the vicinity Of Olney Springs
The company was composed of east
ern capital when its interests we're frst
acquired, but later taken over by Col
orado interests. II had ben sold off
from time to time, but . portion Of
it il owned by w. c. Bradbury Of
the Colorado Farm and Livestock
company.
II was at the old Boston Farm
during Mr., cull's- management, that
the British government made head
quarters for its horses which were
being bought up over the state for
shipment to South Africa during the
Soer war. These horses were fed
at this farm and it was an interesting
sight during the several weeks they
were kept there to see the cowboys
break them for saddle use before
shipment.
Mr.. Cults attention has been di-
rected to agricultural interests ever
since he came to this section of the
state and he has seen the district
which is now Crowley county devel-
oped from virgin prairie to the gar-
den spot that it is. He has seen these
changes gradually come but he real
ICES that the development is yet in
its infancy. Mr.. Gull is one of the
most familiar men with conditions
as they exist here and is a most in
teresting parsonage. He is, as has
been said. not politician. and he
states that he is not seeking reelec-
tion to the office he now fills on
any other. as his attention along ag-
ricultural lines is more interesting
and more fascinating game.

Alex Gray (Postmaster Gray),
Democratic politician, rancher, stock
raiser and Crowley county booster
known perhaps by as many residents
Of eastern Colorado as any other one
citizen of this garden spot Of the
universe.
How did Mr.. Gray happen to be-
come postmaster? Well il will be
remembered the chief executive Is
somewhat of an advocate Of the
Roosevelt doctrine Of as large fam
lily as one Is able to feed and educate
and when it was found out that he
had family of six children the COM
mission for postmastership arrived in
Ordway forthwith,
Mr.. Gray cannot be styled radi-
cal politician even though he does
dabble in the game little, but it
crops out occasionally and when the
The Ordway new era., 1914-01-02

hut they were determined to give il
a trial, They seeded this land to al.
ialia with enough oats to aid 1t In
its growth and despite the fact that
prairie land was deemed not fit for
alfalfa this very first attempt was .
success aud to this day that land still
produces alfalfa as fine as is grown
anywhere and with yield as large
as any OF them,
One OF these men who had such
determination TO win is now county
clerk and recorder OF Crowley eoun-
ty, This man is Ira b. Coy and the
other agricultural recruit was his
brother J, f. Coy who is still located
on this farm and giving II his sup
esvision while his brother is serving
the county as clerk and recorder.
These men were recruits SO far as
being familiar with conditions in
Crowley county but they were farm
ers from youth up and knew the
game as it is played in eastern states
aad it was easy for them to familiar
ixe themselves with 1t as il is done
here, They had determination to
win and the won.
Ira b, Coy. clerk and recorder a. an
mcident but an agsiculturist by pro-
fession. came to Crowley county as
has been said in 1909.
The ranch which Mr.. Coy and his
brother own is six miles west OF Ord
way and adjoins the newly laid out
town OF Crowley. which bids fair to
become quite busy place as result
of a proposed canning factory sched'
uied to locate there. He was elected
clerk and recorder at the first elect
ton held in the county. a little ovei
year ago. 1t was his first politica
office and the first time he ever made
an effort to gain place OF thai
kind. And it is needless to say thai
regardless OF such affiliations as he
may have with political parties hi
will probably ever be ranked among
the progressive agriculturists.

Stephen P. Ilgenfritz
Clerk Of the District Court

In the rounds of the court house q
politician was sought but not an ofiicial
would confess that he was in the least
degree a politician until Stephen r.
Ilgenfritx was interviewed, and even
he did not come right out and say 90.
but he let the cat out Of the bag when
he stated that be had been in politics.

they are farmers or stoekmen. llgen-

Ira B. Coy
Clerk and Recorder

To do wha, the other fellow say,
cannot be done and to do II with
marked success II an achievement
that brings out mans ability. These
things are done from time to time
but more often the advice freely given
not to do certain thing is followed
when in fac. success could have been
the result, In 1909 two men came
to Crowley county with great deal
at determination and as much know
ledge Of agriculture. They took half
section of prairie land and the first
thing they did was to plow up 200
acres OF this and seed II to alfalfa.

When MIR. McCabe finds the
ranges are not suitable for sup
porting his stock he brings them
10 the. feed and only recently
brought quite a large herd to .
ranch three miles north Of Odd
way to be fed. but he raises q
great amount Of feed on his own
ranch which he feeds.
Mr.. McCabe enjoys the busi-
ness Of farming and stock raising
and he is without question most
familiar with all sorts Of condi-
tions that may exist from time to
time. He came to Colorado in
1885 and has been a resident Of
this state ever since, and has lived
on his present ranch for the past
fifteen or sixteen years. He is a
great believer in Crowley county
as being one Of the best ii not the
best all round county in the state
and it is men like himself who
make the county better each year
De doubt very much If there is
another man in Crowley county
better acquainted with the real
values Of the county than Mr.. Nc
Cabe. The unexpected heavy
, storms OF late has caused him tc

Mr.. McCabe has been assessor Of
Crowley county the office has al
ways been open where he is only
too glad to meet the taxpayers. Il
the assessor is not in, his trusty
and worthy clerk. Miss Mabe,

Alex Gray, Ordway's Postmaster

, wanted, being appointed and taking
up the duties of that office on the
9th Of last August.
Mr.. Gray is pioneer, an oldtimer,
thank you, for would you not claim
to be an old-timer if you had lived
on the north side OF the great Ar
kansas river for twenty-six years7
Yes Mr.. Gray came to Colorado in
1887 and settled near Sheridan lake
where he dealt in cattle, breathed
fresh air and prospered for seven
years. But he saw into the future
and moved to Ordway nineteen years
ago where the air is just as pure,
politics no more corrupt and oppor-
tunity greater. While he was wait
ing those nineteen years for . Demo-
cratic president to be elected and in
cidentally while his family was in
creasing to the number Of six, he
engaged in the mercantile business
which he conducted for eleven years.
During that time and since. he has
not exactly dabbled, but got right
down to real business. in the great
industry which is making all Color
ado and the west sit up and take
notice; that of farming and cattle
raising. He's made success Of the
business, of each undertaking he has
entered and naturally his wide scope
of acquaintances look and think of
Mr.. Gray as real man among men
and one whom they are glad to
know.
Mr.. Gray has been known to leave
Ordway, but for few days at . time,
and let it be known here mat when
he was absent he was doing Crow
ley county some good. Careful in
vestigation of his acts when he has
been absent from his home reveal the
fact that he was ever at it-yes boost
ing. He'd almost loose sight Of the
business he left Ordway to conduct
for his telling others OF the wonders
of this great agricultural section and
when citizen does that he's a real
live one.
Mr.. Gray registess at hotels in
