consist of one person from each

We are also informed that our Coun-
ty Commissioners will secure the ser
vices of County Agricultural Agent,
if the people of the county as a whole
so desire, and that one Of the duties
of the committee that will be appoint
ed will be to ascertain the sentiment
in regard to the matter in their res

A certain amount from the state
will be secured for the compensation
of County Agricultural Agent after

will reap untold benefits.

CONSTRUCTION WORK PRO-
CROSSING ON ELEVATOR

Work on the construction of the
elevator of the Julesburg Co-opera-
tive Grain Company is moving along
in splendid shape. The structure has
begun to loom up in its bigness al
though the weather the past week
has retarded the work to some ex-
tent. If you will look down east
Front Street you will note that the
building has commenced to loom up
in big proportions.
An application has been made by
the Grain Company to the City Coun-
Gil for permission to build 81 d e
track across First Street near Vine
Street intersection to the elevator.
This institution will be completed
and ready for business in due time
for the fall crops. 1t is a big asset
to Julesburg and community and is
heartily welcomed by our people.

IN VERY QUIET MANNER

Decoration Day was observed in
this city yesterday in quiet but i'm

SMALLPOX IS NOW
UNDER CONTROL,
No New Smallpox cases Have
Developed in Community
Lid Will Be Lifted
Next Week
Prompt Action BY Board sf Health
Prevents Disease From Spresd-
ing in Colsra ADDS CleaReSt City

No new cases of small pox have de-
veloped in this community since our
last issue, at which time we stated
that there was slight small pox
scare here. there being three mild
cases of the epidemic within our city
and one mild one Immediately out
side of the city.
These are the exact conditions ex-
isting in the community at this time
and all the patients are recovering
nicely from the disease. We under
stand false rumors have been circul-
ated in our neighboring towns to the
effect that a large number of cases
existed here and that the disease was
spreading rapidly. Rumors of this
nature are entirely unjust to this com
munity and they are utterly false.
Health Officer Judge OH. Austin
informs US just as we are going to
press that in all probability the Lid"
will be lifted by the middle of next
week, if no other cases of the disease
develop
1t has also been reported to US from
other towns that rumors were afloat
to the effect that everything was
closed up in the city. OF course the
citizens of this community know this
to be rank falsehood as the fact is
the only places closed by the board of
health were the churches, schools,
pool hall, picture show and such
places where large public gatherings
are liable to congregate.
This action was taken by the board
of health as we stated last week, as
an extraordinary precautionary mea-
sure to keep the disease from spread
ing into the community, for the rea-
son, in large part, of the fact that
great many cases of small pox ex-
listed in one Of our neighboring towns.
The disease has not spread in this
community and perhaps the action Of
the board of health was wise one
to prevent this, although it has been
the means of throwing false scare
into our neighboring communities.
At any rate business is going along
in Julesburg in normal way; condi-
tons here are without a doubt, as
safe as ever, and we believe it will be
only a matter of a short time before
the false rumors which have circul-
ated are Grounded" The lid will
soon be taken off the public places Of
gathering as we stated above and we
ahsll have gone through the littl,
small pox escapade without very ser
ious results.

Joy DAY" AT CHAUTAUQUA

The Joy Day" at Chautauqua is in
charge of some exceptionally clever
entertainers. When the National
Quartet was organized, four of the
best singers and entertainers in the
country were secured, the members
being Charley Cox, George Tack, H.
W. Stanton and Stanley Graham.
From the minute the men appear
on the platform with their vigorous,
rolicking ensemble number, until the
last grand climax is reached the au-
dience is held spellbound, is brought
to the highest state of patriotic dem
onstration, or is convulsed in laugh
ter with the humorous selections, the
patriotic melodies, the songs which
bring back cherished memories,-the
solos, the duets, the readings, the hui
mOrous stunts. and the versatility
of these great entertainers. Fine
voices are possessed by all the young
men and there is plenty of humor-
real true, laughprovoking humor-
to please everyone

GREAT WESTERN SUGAR COMPANY
STILL HAS EYE ON THIS TERRITORY
W. d. Hoover the Sugar Company Continues In
vestigaon Work for his Company-Statement is Sure
to BE Made in the Very Near Future

Investigation work has again been
resumed in this territory by W. d.
Hoover who has been representing
the Sugar Company in this work. Mr..
Hoover arrived here from Denver
last Tuesday afternoon andinforms
US that he is here looking into more
of the details of the proposition Of
his Company building modern Su
gar Factory within the territory COW
cred by the Colorado Nebraska Beet
Growers Association.
From all information we can gain
we sincerely believe that the Great
Western Sugar Company is looking
toward this great and fertile terri
tory in most favorable way. Their
investigation work is being done very
thoroughly and is in the hands of a
competent man, Mr.. Hoover having
had considerable experience in inves-
tigating new territory.
In this territory we are of the opin-
ion that Mr.. Hoover is leaving moth
ing undone in the matter of ascer-
tanning the existing conditions rela-
tive to the early establishment of a
modern sugar factory in this section.
We cannot say just how much more
work Mr.. Hoover expects to accom-
plish before he makes his recon-
mendation to the Sugar Company

COMMITTEE WILL BE APPOINTED TO
SECURE AN AGRICULTURAL AGENT
O. S. Reyne the Colorado Agricultural College Holds Meeting
In Juesburg Starts the Ball Rolling in the Right Drec
ton towards Securing Agricultural Agent for County

We stated in our last issue that O..
S. Reyner of the Agricultural College
of Fort Collins was in our city last
Thursday and met a number of our
farmers and business men here.
Mr.. Reyner clearly pointed out the
need of an organization in every coun-
ty in the state at this time, in view OF
the present war situation. Those
present at the informal meeting last
Thursday night were greatly interest
ed in the work that Mr.. Reyner ex-
planned. He stated that the Govern
ment and state were DESTROYS of see
ing each county become organized at
once for the purpose of receiving the
great benefits which will follow there
from.
After considerable discussion by
those present at t he meeting, Mr..
Reyner answering numerous ques-
tions directed to him, a resolution
was adopted that the County Com
missioners appoint committee con-
sisting of delegates from various
parts Nf the county and that this
committee and the commissioners go
into tn. natter thoroughly with Mr..
Reyner at an early date. Mr.. Rey-
ner stated that he would return here
soon for the purpose of aiding to per-
feet the organization at once. This
organization. if perfected, will en-
brace the service of the County Ag-
ricultural Agent, who will have
charge of the work to be done.
We are reliably informed that the
County Commissioners will appoint a
committee soon to go into the matter

MANY RESPOND
ON PRIZE DAY
Was Bad Day. But Nevertheless
Many Attended From Both
Far and Near

Rain, mud and more rain, mingled
with wee small pox scare, failed to
keep the many shoppers and patrons
of Julesburg's various business houses
from attending the special prize car
nival which was in order ip Jules
burg the whole of last Saturday,
Three prizes were given away at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, the usual
drawing taking place in the Grit-Ad-
vocate Office, by the committee ap-
pointed to act in that capacity, by the
merchants who are making these
special prize days possible.
The first prize was won by w. f
Scott, which was three sacks of -four
purchased from w. M. Labaree and
Hudson & Krist
Second prize, / sack of sugar, pur-
chased from W. H. Winterbotham
was won by G. S. Kinsman.
Third prize, consisting of 5000
worth Of groceries, was won by 7. H
Englemay, the groceries being pur-
chased from Bruce Campbell and the
Petersen Mercantile Company.
1t is clearly noticeable that Jules
burg is getting to be the greatest
trade center in this section. More and
more people in and near this city are
realizing that a square deal and cour-
teous treatment awaits them when
they come to Julesburg.
We cannot definitely state when the
next Special Prize Day will be, but

formed as to the matter so that you
can make preparations to attend the

GATEWAY CITY N
NEED OF A DEPOT
inspector for State Public Utili-
ties Commission Visits Jules

Paint and Other Nsrcetics Fail to
Heal on Wounds anA Battle
Scars Of u, P's. Old Relic

W. c. Reid, inspector for the state
Public Utilities Commission of Den
yer was q Julesburg visitor the lat
ter part of last week.
We do not know Mr.. Reid's express
purpose of coming to this city, but in
q conversation with him we CLEANED a
little information which may prove
beneficial to our city.
Julesburg is the Gateway City OF
the grand old state of Colorado. and
is entered by the Union Pacific Rail
way, which is widely advertised as
the STANDARD Road of the West"
Visitors travelling over the Union Pa
cific leaving Omaha on this celebrated
road, are easily convinced by mere
observation through the state of Ne
braska that the road is all that it
claims to be.
The grand old state of Colorado ad-
vertises to the outside public its ma
ny resources, prosperity, beautiful
scenery, progressiveness, etc.
The first station in Colorado on the
Union Pacific line (The Standard
Road of the Vest is Julesburg, the
junction point of the trans-continen-
tai line. We believe that there may
be one or. two of the old residents of
this section who can remember when
the Union Pacific Railway Company
built "Dee-Pow" at this point Any
how that was years ago when this
country was first building and the
present SO called depot might have
been adequate-but how about the
present structure down there across
the tracks where the trains stop for
the reason it is known as the Jules
burg station This is some adver-
tisement, isn't it, for the Standardiz-
alton on claims of this great Com
Pany; also some advertisement for
the state of Colorado in which the
Union Pacific does an immense vol
ume of business.
Shall we be contented to see paint
dobbed on the old structure from year
to year; old boards replaced; the
dingy waiting rooms practically re-
manning the same, and if anything
getting worse each year We be-
lieve without doubt that the city of
Julesburg and State of Colorado is en-
titled to new depot to be in keeping
with all other progressive moves.
We are of the opinion that the pub
lie Utilities Commission will think so
too if the matter is squarely put up
to them. Let US all, as progressive
citizens of this community. get busy.
A brand new depot will add material
ly to the civic pride OF our city and
will be a big advertisement for the
state of Colorado, as this will mean
monument of prosperity looming up
to the strangers entering the Gate
way City.
