L. A. Dorf. who travels far and
wide buying old iron and junk. was in
Julesburg, Thursday, and could not
restrain his surprise at the marvellous
growth made by .Iulesburg. Talking
to representative of the Crit .Advo-
cate he said he was in this city Just
ten years ago and the improvements
that greeted his eye on every hand,
when he landed here this trip were
amazing. Mr.. Dorf volunteered the
information himself, without solicit
alton, and said he could surely testify
that Julesburg had doomed. Of course
our own people know this is true but
we are glad to hear others say so.
The Julesburg of today is vastly diff
ftrtnt from the Julesburg of old but
our greatest Improvements are yet
before US. Mr.. Dorf was here inter
ested in the sale of some Of the ma
terial in the old power house.
