The st. Louis District. which was
the first to go "over the top" in the
Third Loan, will make strenuous eff
forts to be first in the Fourth Loan.
The organization throughout the en-.
tire Eighth Federal Reserve District
is already complete and there is no
question that the machine will be even
more efficieD. than it was on former
loan campaigna.

Lenine, the Russian Bolsheviki, who
a few weeks ago wanted Allied help
against Germans, now seeks teutonic
assistance against the Entente.
Some slackers there may be who
are too proud to fight, but if the draft
board keeps on raising the age lin
it few there will be who are too old
to fight.

The rapidity with which a "fore-
field" becomes a hindfield is perhaps
another indication of brilliant German
strategy.

EARLY HISTORY OF JULESBURG

ed from Cottonwood canon, 100 miles
down the river was sacked time and
again by the savages and was finally
burned by thousand allied Sioux,
Cheyenne and .Arapahoes under Spot
ted Tail on February 2, 1865. They
looted the store of Thompson 4 Chris
man and George Bent, who was there
with the Cheyennes, said he never saw
10 much plunder in an Indian camp
'This said was in retaliation of the
Sand creek massacre ten weeks pre-
vious and it was at that time that
the whole Platte valley witnessed the
worst winter raid ever made in this
country. Consequently Mrs Thomp-
son brought claim of $40,0 900 against
Uncle Sam and got $4,000 by waiting
forty years for the settlement
when the Union Pacific came
along in June. 1867. a new location
was made across on the north side Of
the river and it took the old name of
Julesburg. II was a red hot village
made up Of shacks around which clus-
tered a great deal Of boiling activity.
Lots sold as high as thousand bones
and the place soon had several thous-
and Inhabitants. the most of whom
were about as ugly as they made them
in those bowling days. The mush-
room lasted only six months and fad
ed away as the railroad meandered on
to Cheyenne. The cemetery alone re-
mained with its hundred or more dead
ones to mark the glories of the de
parted civilization.
Then came along the fourth mu-
nicipality much like phoenix arising
from its ashes. 1t was also planted
on the railroad three miles or so east
of the Lodge Pole and was a moiling
tenderfoot days, for it was still war
settlement that the writer knew in his
tenderfoot days. for it was still a
warm place with plenty of the west
ern spirit and considerable authority in
the atmosphere. It struggled along
in comparative peace and quietude
until 1887 when the Union Pacific,
Denver & Gulf railroad. otherwise
called the Julesburg cutoff, was
hranchcd ur the South Platte to Den
YER. Then still another town site. the
fifth and last of the ephemeral ser
les, was struck seven miles east and
it is there today as a junction point
and the best one of the lot, as its peo
pie took to agriculture and went at it
right. The penultimate place was re-
christened Weir and is there yet as a
flag station on the main line of the
overland route"

SECOND DRAFT WAITS AC-
TION BY CONGRESS

Washington, Feb. 20-Secretary Of
War Baker authorized the statement
today that no date had been selected
for the beginning of the second draft.
Various estimates have placed the
time between March ! and June, but
they are declared to be guesses.
The governments disposition not to
disturb the labor situation, particular
ly on farm at the planting season, is
a factor of the situation. The provost
marshal generals office. it is under
stood, is disinclined to go ahead with
the second draft until congress has
perfected the law pending amendments
to change the basis of apportionment
and to authorize the president to call
into the military sevice men skilled in
industry and agriculture. regardless
of previous classification.
The remaining increments of the
first draft will begin to move forward
to the camps beginning this week
1t is probable that next month the
local boards may be asked to forward
small increments necessary to replace
men going overseas, but the expected
summons of 500 900 will be later

HOOVER MEETING
WAS SWITCHED
TO NEIGHBOR CITY

The meeting of the commission ap-
pointed by Federal Food Administra-
tor Hoover with the sugar beet grow
ers in this section for the purpose of
taking testimony in regard to the ac-
tual cost of raising beets, was changed
to Sterling instead of being held in
Julesburg Monday night as was first
planned. The meeting was held in
Sterling last Tuesday and Frank
Sherman of Sedgwick; Frank Deich
and J. N. French of Julesburg repre-
sented the growers in this section and
were present at the hearing in Ster-
ling.
Judge John G. Bell of Montrose: A.
A. Edwards and Alvin KeZer of Fort
Collins, and B. D. Parker. Jr., of Jules
burg were the members Of the COM
lnission which sat in Sterling The
commission went to Fort Morgan yes
terday to take testimony from grow
ers in that section. The reason for
the meeting not being held in Jules
burg last Monday evening as sched-
uled was on account of the commits
sion deciding to combine the Sterling
and Julesburg meetings in order to
hasten the work and get their report
into Washington at the earliest posi-
BILE date.
The beet growers in this section will
await anxiously the result of the in
vestigations conducted by the commit
tee. which will in all probability ef-
feet the price to be paid for the 1918
crop Of sugar beets.

From a recent issue Of the Denver
Field & Farm, we note an interesting
article pertaining to the history Of the
early days when Julesburg was first
founded as town and trading point.
The following should make interesting
reading for large number of our
readers reprinted from the above NAM
ed publication:
Whoever heard of town that had
to be located five times before it could
settle down to business? This is what
happened to Julesburg, in Sedgwick
county, and as the story is another bit
of our unwritten history it may in
terest some folks who like to know
about such things. The tale is fraught
with many thrilling details of Indian
outrages and this accounts in part at
least for the moving of the restless
old burg at the extreme northeastern
corner of the state.
"The first location was made on the
south side of the South Platte in 1855?
and named for Jules Benz, an old rep
rebate of French squaw man who
traded with the Indians up and down
the Platte valley This spot was di-
rectly opposite the mouth of the Lodge
Pole creek at what the old freighters
called the Upper California crossing
1t was a mile below Fort Rankin,
which was subsequently called Fort
Sedgwick, although it was not Oh the
exact ground that was afterward oc-
cupied by permanent post. Jules
burg was originally a station on the
stake line of the Leavenworth and
Pixies Peak express 200 miles out of
Denver and consisted of dozen log
buildings. including the station, a
store, telegraph office, blacksmith
shop, warehouse. stable and saloon
with a billiard table in it. Old Jules
was the station keeper for the rea-
son that no better man could be found
to take the mean job.
at became such a tough place for
gamblers and thieves that Ben Holla-
day thought to reform matters by re-
naming it Overland City when he took
over the stage business. Holiday
did not propose to give up the loca-
ton that he needed so badly in his
business and hauled in a lot of sawed
stuff for some temporary shacks
which stood little distance down the
river from the original site. The ori-
s,inal station built Of cedar logs haul
