What IS color in painting. Is i
mere raw red or blue or green. as the
case may be. or is it pigment trans
rluted? The question is raised by the
work Of Mr. Alfred Wolmlrk, who
comes from England. with, we suppose,
some European blood in his veins, and
shows his paintings at the Kevorkian
gallery. There is much about him in
the catalogue. Mr. Christian Brinton
sets down what the artist has TO say
a little conDlacently -ahout himself.
Mr.. Mark Zangwil follows on wv olmarl.

pure, tonic, stimulating color-great
masses Of orchestral tone color that
would fairly sing and fill eye and soul
with joy" After such preliminaries
it is fairly startling to find that there
isn't SO much as bar of orchestral
tone color in the show. There is one
picture, Girl With Sunshade," in
which the color is intrinsically good
and is woven into q fairly charming
pattern. But not even this can serve
to give Mr.. Wolmark any special status
as a colorist.
The colorist does not take color as
ne finds it. He alters it through his
genius, and the result is what painters
call quality" There are numerous
examples which might be cited We
are content merely to point out the
dusky glow in Titian's "Entombment,'
the magic which Velasquer works wher
he paints the thin white fabric thrown
over an Infanta's rosy farthingale, the

to make manifest his distinction and
above all, his feeling for beauty. This
comes ont nowhere more impressively
than In his handling OF color. Looking
at his sylvan subjects one is sware
Of kind OF silvery etquisiteress, a
treatment Of foliage which causes
heavy masses OF green to take on the
tremulous lightness of nature. Solid
local color is modulated into the ten
derest tones. Hers is the true color

There is good show OF old masters
at the Ehrich gallery. Two brilliant
portraits OF the eighteenth century
face one another across the room. One
is "a Princess" superbly painted by
Gova in an hour when he remembered

~ 1t has grown from $10S,132, col

ed from 1.5 to 81. more than d0ub-
lie the mill levy; but over three times
the amount OF money raised.
But even this increase does not
meet the enormous needs Of the
county. From every section comes
the same complaint, we are not hav-
ing the needed work done on the
roads in our section and we must
have more.
II is an open secret that We may
be called upon at any time to meet
an expenditure that could reach the
sum of 100000, and would proba-
piy be nearer million to replace
bridge loss by floods. That .ex-

REAL ESTATE
IS MOVING RAPIDLY

There is nothing slow about the
movements CT real estate in this
sectiond these days. It is moving
with a celerity that astonishes the
Oldest inhabitant, fills the newest
newcomer with amazement and
all OF with sand, IL not with gum
ption.
There have been signs OF activity
along this line for some time, but
few were prepared for such a spurt
as developed early last week. In
fact il started out on the Sabbath in
defiance OF all sacred things.
1t started somewhere west of here
at least as far as Greeley, but II did
not stop there-not much-it came
right on over into the eastern part
OF the county; II had no prejudice
against operating in dry lands, 1t
seemed to be impartial as TO sections
and visited the just and the unjust
those who did not wish to part with
their holdings did so with the same
celebrity as the man who wanted to
sell out and leave the country like
Mr.. DeF'ord.
And after all, there Is no person
pleased with the movement. At least
we do not know OF one. II there is
such a one. he would enjoy funeral
where he could not hear the music
or a hanging where he wore the
neck tie.
The fact is that the movement did
not involve any change OF titles. II
did not make any additional labor

and no money changed hands in eos
sequence.
1t was the worst and most dam
aging wind that has visited Colorado
n generation. Not since 1901, 20
say the Denver papers, has such 4
wind swept the state as came down
on us last Thursday That day was
the climax in the force OF the wind
and the damage done.
Sunday and Monday was bad, but
Tuesday was heartbreaking. The
average home was harbor for dust
while the best built houses were
penetrated by the fine particles 90
that particular house wives are still
apologizing for the appearance Of
their homes.
Just how much damage was done
by the storm Is problematical, but
1t cannot help but be great. II the
wind was ever, and we could have
rain at once to revive the storm
swept fields. the results would not
be so bad, but the wind still eon-
tinuss and the end 10 not yet.

We believe We can show that the
proposed county could maintain a
good county government with less
tax than IL now contributes to Weld
county for that purpose. We know
that 10 counties OF the state did so
last year: but we will leave the dis
cussisOn OF the General Fund until
another time.
What the permanent Improvement
fund Is to be used for, we do not now
know. but We are quite certain that
not any OF 1t Is being expended In
this part OF the country; we cannot
conceive OF there being any legiti-
mate call for any permanent i'm
proyements in this part OF the coun-
try.
Our beneft from the General
School Fund 10 not commensurate
with what We contribute to that
fund.
Our small contribution to the Ad-
yertisng Fund probably Is as valua-
BILE to us as to any portion OF the
county.
The Fund about which the most
controversy RACES is the Road and
Bridge Fund. Apparently the fig-
ures published by The Enterprise
has convinced everybody that has
given them consideration, we are
not receiving q fair division Of .hii

In Justice to Mr.. Griffin we shoud
call attention to the fact that he
said he was not against county d.
vision.
II Mr.. Griffin or anyone else
will give one valid reason why any
OF the things he advocates as being
desirable will be prevented or even
delayed by county division, We will
join forces with him. As II is we
know that county division will either
give us better roads or cut down
taxation, and We believe 1t will has
ten every other desirable thing he
mentions.
We did not know that the prai-
rle dog was such menace. He has
been an extinct animal in the Ray
mer district for some years. There
was. time when we sold a good deal
OF poisoned grain at cost and less.
but you can't find one here now.

time will be ripe for county division

Mr.. DeFord was reported as fol-
lows:
Charles DeFord OF Buckingham
was drafted into the debate by his
nelghbors who kept calling for him
to speak for them.
"DeFord declared that IL the coun-
ty seat possibilities were taken out
OF the county division fight there
would be mighty little left. He
heartily endorsed Mr.. Grifin's posi-
tion. He suggested a travelling
county seat which would linger in
each town long enough for the farm
ers OF the several districts to sell out
and get away Mr.. DeFord declared
that a chance to sell out was the
great desire Of eastern Weld farm
ers at the present time. He de-
manded that the people who are ad-
vocating county division as a pan
acea for the trougles OF the farmers
give something that would enable
the farm to pay out or sell out.
How many farmers have talked
here today? queried DeFord. After
some confusion and delay Charles
Philip, d. W. Porter and Jack Con-
zelman stood up.
Philip had Just previously made
talk for county division. DeFord
started an angry murmur among the
Grover scohorts, when he said fatty
that tactics used In the election four
years ago, thru which Grover was
named as tentative county seat had
set the people OF this district more
firmly against division
AS said to Mr.. Griffin, so we say
to Mr. DeFord, IL he will give one
valid reason why county division
will prevent or delay the paying
out" we'll join forces with him but
we hope he will not ask us to repeat
his argument.
Mr.. DeFord harks back to that old
election, four years ago, he says, in
fact almost six years ago ESQ fast
does time fiy). II our memory serves
us right We rather thot Mr.. DeFord
was right and Grover wrong. but
Is II not time to forget that? Cant
we embalm that. or better cremate
1t with "the crime OF '73" and 20
on to meeting today's duties without
trying To get even for things that
happened half dozen years ago?

old scores are settled, we need not
expect to 90. ahead and create . new

.PAWNEE CLUB MET
At BUCKINGHAM

The final meeting Of the Pawnee
Club before the vote is taken was
held at Buckingham last Saturday.
II is not so necessary to report this
meeting In full as previous ones, as
the Greeley Tribune assigned their
Mr.. Emory to cover the meeting and
that gentleman has the happy fac
ulty Of knowing how to write good
story and still stick to the truth The
report OF the meeting was very fair
and we are glad the Tribune gave
us the service that they did In this
instance. One remark in the report
We take exception to and that was
the statement that the attacks on
Greeley were not SO bitter as at pre-
vious meetings. We think the re-
marks made about Greeley were just
as plain and outspoken as at pre-
vious meetings. and that The Enter
prise has been as plain spoken in
the printed pages as has its editor
in verbal utterance.
We do not blame the Tribune or
its reporter for this erroneous idea;
the report has been taken to it for
a purpose not at all difficult to see
through. Its purpose is we'll under
stood; and its peril to the movement
fully appreciated.
The attitude OF the men present
from Greeley was fair and consid-
crate. and shows that 1t is not Gree
ley opposition that we need to fear;
but that at home.
Those who spoke for county divis.
ion but repeated what we have re-
ported OF previous meetings.
Since we might not be fair in re-
porting the two men who opposed
the movement we will take The
Tribune version OF their remarks:
The Tribune report says:
Griffin Talks Against Division
IRA s. Griffin made one OF the
strongest talks against the county
division movement What north
eastern Weld needs is productive
farming and credit, Griffin told the
meeting. He declared that the farm
ers as whole were just where they
were eight years ago. except that
they had accumulated large debt
The crop Of patented land which you
received in homesteads is gone for
ever Griffin told the meeting. He
declared that the district must get
on a productive basis or that the
farmers must get out and make room
for others. 4 had rather have the
the plaudits OF the men whom have
aided to get credit and to stay on
their farms than the plaudits Of the
county dyisionists,' said Griffin. His
remarks we're received with applause
by the Buckingham faction, but with
obvious disfayor by the Grover group
by cleaning out the prairie dogs,
you would save $4,000, by adding
one dollar to the per acre production
OF northeastern Weld. you make a
million dollars, Griffin told the
farmers. He declared the sentiment
in Greeley toward the non-irrigated
districts Is changing rapidly and
said that the road situation which
is the main argument for county
division can be alleviated. Griffin
took issue with statements that there
is an unbridgable gulf between the
sentiment and sympathies OF the ir-
rigation and dry land farmers"

INCREASE OF TAXES
IN WELD COUNTY

Since the talk OF new county
raises the matter Of taxes. we pro-
pose to show how they have increas-
ed without county division.
We shall not attempt to show that
more money has been raised than
has been needed, or that any mon
ey has been wasted; we think we can
prove that 1t has not been equitably
attributed, and that this could not
well be otherwise. due largely to the
lack OF money in the road fund and
the only remedy for this will be an
increase. rather than a decrease Of
the mill levy for roads and bridges.
The Enterprise editor has only
contempt for the Office seeking DEM
agogue who takes advantage OF a
necessary increase In expenditures to
criticse an official where the man
has bravely done his duty. With
this explanation, we shall give be-
low some figures relative to Weld
county taxes, They may assist you
in understanding some OF the prob
lens that have not been plain.
Last year we paid the 1918 tax in
Weld county az follows:
General County. Support

Contingent Expense s21l.72s.s1

The tax levy for all county pur-
poses is 6.53 mills.
The valuation increased about IL
per cent, but the tax increase is more
than AZ per cent. 1t will take $202,-
944.S0 more tax for county purposes
this year than 1t did last in the coun-
ty OF Weld.
Now let us see what the proposed
county Of Pawnee paid to these dif-
ferent funds last year. Here the
figures on valuation must be esti-
mated partly, but 1t was very close to
s12,O0O,000 last year and $4,000
