THE CONCERT
WAS 4 DELIGHT

The concert Monday evening was
delight to all who attended. and
the attendance was far beyond ex-
pectation considering the roads and
threatening aspect Of the clouds
early In the evening.
The program published In the last
l: sue Of The Enterprise was render
ed. except one variation.
Mr.. Foster certainly established
his reputation in Raymer. Every
number was heartily applauded and
several additional numbers. mostly
along numerous lines were given In
response to the hearty and prolong-
ed applause.
Ars. Foster was equally appreciat-
ed as an accompanist. All are hop
Ing they will be able to hear them
again.
The instrumental numbers by Miss
Ruth Graves were graciously receiv-
ed and heartily applauded.
We have been told that we were
too modest In giving account OF
Ruth's accomplishments. We be-
lieve her to be an excellent pianist;
and the testimony Of many good
judges, too sincere to flatter. con.
firms our opinion.
We know that she has worked long
and faithfully. at times under q good
deal Of Encouragement, to 1T herself
for the work.
We have had faith that she would
make good, and 1t certainly warns
cur old heart to hear her praises
spoken by 80 many good dearest
friends. We would not for the world
have these friends think we were not
appreciative Of their kind words and
sincere tributes.
After the concert, the greater part
OF those present went to the Com
munity House to meet and greet the
participants in the concert. While
there delicious and refreshing
punch with cookies was served under
the auspices Of the Ladies Aid.
The entire proceeds went to the

EAST WELD LOSES
MORE BRIDGES

The normally dry creeks Of eastern

pages the latter part Of last week.
Additional county bridges were rip
ped away, reservoirs overflowed and
In several instances were threatened
with destruction and water overflow.
ed the highways leaving treacherous
mudholes In many places.
As late as Sunday evening Grow
creek was running nearly bank full.
Friday night and Saturday It had
overflowed in many places and had
flooded the highway at practically
all crossings. At the s. L. w. ranch
the Witwers said that had rarely II
ever seen the stream at such a flood
pitch.
Friday night the Hart or Seven
Cross reservoir, five miles north Of
Briggsdale, overflowed over the spill
way and around the ends Of the dam
to such an extent that 1t was he
lieved It would washout. Warning
was sent to Briggsdale and farmers
In the valley moved out with their
livestock. The concrete dam Of the
reservoir held, however.
The Coal Creek reservoir north
west Of Cornish also overflowed and
washed the Barneville-C Cornish and
the Galeton-C Cornish highways.
Owl Creek and Coal Creek went to
flood pitch Friday. Practically all
bridges are out on these streams. A
60-foot gap must be bridged at the
point where the Double six highway
crosses Coal creek east Of Purcell. A
pile bridge Is being completed Mon
day at Owl creek crossing Of the
Double Six. Only drivers with very
sturdy cars and experience in fording
mudholes should try the Double Six
between Olive Branch and Briggsdale
in the next few days. The road to
Briggsdale via Gill and Cornish offers
no difficulties. There is an easy de-
tour around the bridge which is miss
ing on this route.
Heavy rains are responsible for the
floods in the unirrigated district. In
many places the rain has been &C.
companied by hail. Corn. beans and
grain all show the destruction from
the ice storms which fell at Purcell,
Briggsdale. Sligo and many other re-
mote parts Of the county.-Greeley
Tribune.
The Tri' une might have gone
further and told Of more destruction
to the still further parts OF East
Weld county. The above reaches no
part Of the Pawnee county as pro-
posed, unless 1t might be the reser-
voir north Of Briggsdale.
But the Pawnee creeks were also
on a rampage. The bridge north
Of Raymer was under water rubbish
being left on the top Of the railings.
and the approaches badly damaged
and dangerous.
Material hauled. to the site Of the
twin bridges north Of Stoneham, to
replace bridges previously washed
out, was washed down stream and
lost. The pile driver was washed
away. tipped over and smashed and
the big hammer buried in the sands.
Roads were impossible in places
At Raymer Just west Of town the
water stood over the highway until
1t became a bog and probably 100
cars have been stalled there since
Sunday morning, and half that num-
Der had to be pulled out by team or
truck.
