of western enterprise and get
there" Every one of its thirty
four pages is full of interesting
information concerning the coun-
ty and its people. From this pa
per we copy the following which
tells something of a Fulton Coun-
ty boy who cast his lot with the
people of Logan county, Colo.,
and has had no reason to regret
it.
The Advocate says:
in treating Of the town Of
Crook, in the eastern end of Lo-
gan county, too much emphasis
cannot be laid on the important
relationship of Crook to one Of
its citizens, namely E. A. Buck
ley, and Of f. A. Buckley to
Crook.
For nearly ten years E. A.
Buckley labored at the meagre-
salaried occupation which he
went to Crook to accept while at
the same time he paid for and
built up the mercantile business
which now occupies all his time.
1t is this kind of devotion and
work that has won for E. A.
Buckley the high position which
ne holds among his fellow-citi-
zens and won for him the title of
the most consistent, persistent
and loyal booster which Crook
possesses. 1t is this type of man
which is responsible wholly for
the progress Crook has made.
e. A. Buckley came from
Fulton county, Pennsylvania,
where he was born on February
%, 1S47. He attended the COM
mon schools and the normal
school and then taught in the
Fulton county schools two years,
and came west on July "a, 1895.
He railroaded with the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific and the
Union Pacific as operator, and
engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness in Crook March 10, 1901,
buying the S. L. Breckenridge
stock. This stock inventoried at
81, 600 and the business was con-
Quoted in structure of small di-
mensions. But embarkation in a
new business did not tempt him
to let go his profession of those
days. He continued as station
agent at Crook from February,
1901, until October 25, 1909. 1t
was then that he gave up the
railroad world; since he has been
devoting his time to the mercan-
tile business and farming and
conducting the postoffice atCrook.
The stock of the Buckley Mer-
camille company to-day is valued
at 81, 600 and in the handling of
the large business Mr.. Buckley is
assisted by one man. and his wife,
the latter held by Mr.. Buckley to
be his best aid. Mr.. Buckley is
also a member of the school
board, and he occipies a promi-
nent place in all affairs that go
for the advancement of the
town." "
Logan County is situated in the
northeastern part of Colorado,
and it was organized only 20
years ago. Two years later, it
gave up territory enough to make
two counties and still has an area
greater than the state of Rhode
Island. 1t sports hundred
thousand-dollar Court house.
The present Clerk and Recorder
is Mrs. Una B. Wesner ma
tive of Ohio, and the Office car
ries with it a salary that would
look good-even to an Editor.
Fifteen years ago she went to
Logan County, after having
taught school in her home state
nine years. In 1912 she was
elected to the office of Clerk and
Recorder, and reelected two
years ago. The Office of Clerk
and Recorder in Colorado is one
of the busiest Offices at the coun-
ty capital.
The County Superintendent of
Logan County is Miss Flora A.
Allison, a former Iowa school
teacher. She went to Colorado
