ST. VRAIN RIVER
THREATENS ROAD

Weld county commissioner re-
ceiyed word Tuesday morning that
the ST. Vrain river, in the vicinity OF
the Jack Elliott home ranch was
overflowing Its banks and threaten
ing to destroy a piece of road on
which the men we're working. The
water is on a level with the crown
of the road and is now washing of
the top, while the road gang has
abandoned the job and moved its
outfit to higher ground.
Because OF contemplated expense
caused by the coming foods along
all roads in the river bottoms, the
question Of reappointing road view
ers for the ga miles of new road
asked for at previous meetings, and
which would have been viewed be-
fore this session. may be indefinitely
delayed. Just how the present In
adequate road fund will stand the
expense OF additional roads in the
face of extraordinary expenditures
which seem certain to come this
spring on the old roads. is not easi-
ly understood by the board.
Already some people from the
southwest part OF the county have
been in to see the board and asked
1t for improvements of present high
ways and establishment OF new
roads. and the road question seems
to be the big matter before the COM
missioners at present.
County Road oyerseer John
WORKMAN Is now in the Hudson
country on official business, and
calls for his services in other parts
OF the county are now on file in the
commissioners ofiiee.-Greeley Trib-
une.
Which all goes TO show that If
present road funds are inadequate,
they will have to be made adequate,
and that means more road tax or
bonds and the worst of IL is that we
will be the ones TO wait until the
inadequate fund becomes adequate.
We will bet our old hat that the
end Of the season will show mighty
little II any betterment Of road ser
vice in eastern Weld county.

KARBAUGH TO RUN
FOR STATE SENATE

II, II, lIarbaugh is a probable can
didate for the republican nomination
for state senator from Weld county.
Mr.. Harbaugh stated this morning
that friends had asked him to run
and that he had the matter under
consideration He said that he
would be ready to annosnce his de-
cision in very few days.
AS T. I. Wilson is also a probable
candidate for the republican senate
nomination an interesting contest in
the primaries may result. Mr. Har-
baugh said that he had a friendly
talk with Mr.. Wilson on the matter
Of the senate candidacy. He ex-
pressed eonfldente that If there was
test Of strength between the two
men no unfriendliness would result
and that the loser would support the
winner in the campaign.
Mr. tIarbaugh was mayor of Gree
ley while Mr.. Wilson was an alder
man and chairman Of the water COM
mittee. The two worked together in
harmony -Four years ago the former
was lined up to run for the senate
nomination but gave way in order
that r. Il. Winbourn might have
clear sailing In the primary. Mr..
Harbaugh himself became a candi
date for state auditor but did not
get the nomination,
Mr.. Harhaugh is successful bus
mess man, is prominent in church
work and has a large acquaintance
thruout the state,--Greeley Tribune

RESULTS or NEARBY
SCHOOL ELECTIONS

Interest in school elections was
divided between county division and
school matters, the former claiming
more attention than the latter. at
least In Raymer
However, the sentiment was so
strong for division that there was
no rag chewing over the matter.
the opponents being content to keep
quiet and vote against. while the
proponents felt so certain that there
was little If any electioneering done
by either side.
We have an idea that the 2S votes
against surprised both sides.
On purely school matters, the in
terest was most intense on the pro-
posal to sell the small school build
lngs. The people living near the
Rising sun School made a canvass
lor votes to retain that building as
they are using II for Sunday school
and church At some future time
they hope to be able to buy the
building. Their appeal was sue
eeessful, and the proposal to sell
was defeated. An effort to retain
the Mclaughlin school did not meet
with the same success. The ground
for this was that a petition Is pend
ing before the county superintend-
ent to organize new district out
Of the territory containing this
school house. This petition was fill
cd last fall and also a remonstranee
but II has not been acted upon, bad
road conditions having prevented an
examination of the territory.
Probably the sale will not take
place until this matter is finally
disposed of
The consideration Of the items of
the puget indicated that the people
were well pleased with the teaching
force in its entire personnel and
would not wish to see a single one
let go
The proposal to provide storage
room for full years supply of coal
was approved
The total budget was fixed at an
amount In excess of our estimate of
last week, making it $4,000. but
the proposal to hire teacher for
teaching agriculture did not appeal
to the patrons.
AT buckingham it was voted to
eentralize their schools At Keota

As we write this we have not the
returns from the small district north
OF Buekigham, but all OF their votes
cast one way would not change the
result. We understand that 1t is
expected that this district win in-
crease, rather than diminish the ma

The vote was fairly heavy one;
more nearly full vote than we had
dared to expect, with the backward
spring and the bad condition OF the
roads.
Opponents of the measure will in
most, II not all cases, accept the re-
suit and join with the victors in
presenting a united and unanimous
request to the balance of the county

There were some surprises and
some peculiarities about results.

CHAMBER COMMERCE
GETTING UNDER WAY

The committee appointed recently
to promote Chamber of Commerce
is able to report some good progress,
and II looks as though such an or
ganization would soon be an accom-
plished fact.
The committee has drafted a ten
ative plan of organization providing
for the general lines of activity-a
farm bureau to promote agricultu-
raj interest, civic bureau organiz-
ed with special reference to town
matters, and ladies bureau to give
attention to activities OF special in
terest to the ladies.
II is planned to have the affairs
of the organization cotrolled by
board Of twelve directors, consisting
OF three representatives chosen
by each bureau. and the President,
Secretary and Treasurer chosen at
large
The plan was first submitted to
the Ladies Booster Club with an in
yitation that they become the La
dies Bureau. The invitation was ac-
cepted, the members voting unani-
mously to take membership as a club
in the Chamber OF Commerce, at the
same time holding their present or
ganizatlon intact. Their 3 men,
bers of the board of directors were
also chosen.
Last Saturday at the Farmers ell
eyator. a small group of farmers
met, discussed the plan and finally
created an informal, Independent
Farm Bureau organization and Sc
leeted their three representatives.
Tuesday evening a meeting of the
Commercial Club was called at the
Powell hotel. II was decided to con
tinue the organization, changing the
name TO the Civic Bureau OF the
Chamber of Commerce The old Of
licers were named to continue In
charge OF the Bureau.
As the organization now stands
the board of directors consists of the
following:
LADIES BUREAUS: Mrs. J. N.
Quinn, Mrs. c. b. Dannatt and Mrs.
Il, G. lngraham.
FARM BUREAU: J. II. White G.
+. Bringleson and Claude Lacock.
CIVIC BUREAU: J. P. Rasmus-
sen, Louis Allen and Webb d. Mar
tin
Rev. t. G. Ingraham and e. F.
Tighe are the temporary president
and secretary.
It is planned to hold community
meeting at an early date at which
permanent officers will be chosen for
these positions and a treasurer also
elected. This will doubtless be an
event of considerable importance.
Probably program of more than
usual interest will be presented.
The ladies have consented to do
their part toward making it a sue
cess by serving refreshments, which
Invariably proves an attraction to
the hungrier sex.
What the new organization will
see as matters OF dominant inter
est cannot yet be told. No doubt IL
viii give much attention to Boys
and Girls club work, for this is one
OF the principal reasons for its com
ing into being. Probably they will
give considerable attention 10 farm
ing problems, such as silos, pure
bred stock. summer tillage, etc.
There is considerable favorable
sentiment for a community fair next
fall. There are many things that
can be done, and the organization
has great possibilities for good to
the community.

Fifteen months Of continuous ser

the first change was made, is the
experience Of Cleyelad, Ohio, car

a small model touring car, specifying

Monument To Irrigation

Phoenix Governor Campbell
has been called upon to lend sup
port to "a new western movement

received a letter from the Utah

Nor is this ALL The Salt River project is said to be- ev-
at this time selling electric power sufficient to bear
