NEWSPAPERS: THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado: 9 May 1890, Vol. III - No. 36 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/phillips/newspapers/sthld1890/90may09.txt Donated by: Vicki Conklin 22 Jun 2002 =================================================================================== STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado William R. Davis, Editor & Publisher 9 May 1890, Friday, Vol. III - No. 36 Page One LOCAL LORE Mr. A. Hyatt is moving into his new quarters, the Anderson block. A. Hyatt will move his popular one price grocery store to the corner building south of Varney’s store, about May 1st, where he will sell goods at Bottom Prices. Mr. Duncan Young, of Lincoln, Nebraska, is in town looking after his landed interest in this county. Mr. Young has been traveling over northeastern Colorado pretty extensively and expresses himself as highly pleased with the future prospects of this part of the State. As we were badly rushed in getting the paper out this week it may be that in the hurry some of our correspondence was over looked but if such be the case we will take great care that such a mistake does not occur again. ARTESIAN WELLS By an act of Congress April 4, 1890, Congress ordered an investigation on Artesian wells for irrigation purposes between the limits of the 97th meridian and the foot hills of the Rocky Mountains. It is almost unnecessary to call attention to the importance of the investigation and its advantages to the western country. The time set by Congress is so short that the collection of information must of necessity be practically confined to the month of May. To be complete, the investigation needs the active cooperation of all who can give information. All who can furnish information regarding Artesian wells or springs, or subterranean waters are requested to communicate with the undersigned and it will be sent to the special agent for Colorado and New Mexico, Prof. L.G. Carpenter. It is especially desired to furnish the location of springs, with the depths and quantities of water. -- J.M. Cullis, Sec. C.I.& L. Ass’n Real estate was on the rise Thursday. Crops are looking fine and farmers are happy. C.M.C. Woolman spent a few days in Denver this week. Mrs. Doctor Blair returned Sunday from a visit with friends at Denver. L.C. Witherbee has been absent most of the week at Denver on business. Ed Varney left for Chicago the first part of the week where he went to secure work. We need not be surprised if another rail road boom should strike our town most any day now. I.L. Dermond is absent from the city for a few days on a business trip to Fremont, Nebraska. B.F. Moore has retired from the hotel business and the Gordon House is now without a landlord. Miss Minnie Lange has opened a dress makers shop in the Dauchey building on west Denver Avenue. Mr. Wickersham the genial, good natured B. & M. Roadmaster spent a few days in McCook, Nebraska this week. The County Commissioners held a session on Thursday too late in the week to report their proceedings in this issue. W.A. McClintock and wife, and W.S. Babcock and wife, of Julesburg, were registered at the B. & M. Hotel Thursday. Elder Brooks of Denver has been preaching in the Christian Church in West Holyoke every evening during the past week. Ben Taiter showed his smiling face on our streets again last week after an absence of several months, at his old home in Illinois. Sullivan Brothers have removed the fixtures from their saloon building here to Wallace, Nebraska where they are engaged in business. Our townsman Mr. John Kidd is showing his good taste and enterprise by planting a large number of shade trees about his residence. A.M. Woodford returned Wednesday from his trip to York, Nebraska, where he had spent several days visiting a particular friend of his. Little Texa Moore, daughter of B.F. Moore, met with quite an serious accident last Tuesday, falling down the stairway and breaking her arm. Presiding Elder, J.H. Merritt, D.D. is in the city and will preach at the M.E. Church this evening and preside over the quarterly conference. Several of the B. & M. officials came into Holyoke Sunday afternoon on a special and remained till Monday morning when they left for Cheyenne. James Mackey, who has been suffering for some time with rheumatism, was on the streets one day this week and states that he is improving slowly. We beg our readers pardon for the condition of this weeks’ issue. The issue was gotten out in a rush and under many difficulties and is not what it should be. Frank Smith and Jerry McGahan came down from Holyoke, Colorado the fore part of the week and remained a few days in our city. - Chase County, Nebraska, Champion. Elder Richards, formerly pastor of the Evangelical church at this place, was in town this week shaking hands with his many friends. He has been attending school at Chicago. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather Thursday evening the ice cream and strawberry festival under the management of the Ladies Aid Society was comparatively successful, the proceeds amounting to about $14. J.C. Elder, County Commissioner, has returned from his trip to his old home in Pennsylvania. He expresses himself as better satisfied than ever with his new home in Phillips County and has strong faith that in the near future the tide of immigration will turn toward this part of Colorado. An addition to the city hose house has recently been erected. With the fire bell, which we understand the City council will purchase in the near future, our city fire apparatus will be complete and then we can justly boast that no other town in this part of the state can compare with us in the matter of fire protection. A.E. Webb loaded his goods Tuesday and took the night train for Sioux City, Iowa where he will engage in the banking business. We regret very much to have Mr. Webb leave our town as he is a man of sterling worth and such a man as any town can ill afford to lose. Mr. Webb by his genial manner, and his straight forward and upright dealings, gained the full confidence and respect of our people and the best wishes of a host of warm friends follow him to his new home. CORRESPONDENCE FRENCHMAN VALLEY Wheat and barley looking very nice and the farmers in the best of spirits. The snow has the ground in splendid condition and planting tree claims is the order of the day. Oh how Christ does smile around since that seventeen pound girl has made her appearance. The Paoli school house could not seat all of the farmers last Thursday at the Alliance. They have over one hundred and thirty members. Looks as though the farmers were making up to their own interest. P.A. Larson and John Peterson each lost a valuable mare last week. Albert Larson is back from Denver. Barr Moore and the Hawks’ boys took in twenty-three jack rabbits the morning after the snow. The dog holes tripped up some of the ponies but the riders kept right on after the rabbits. Our Commissioner is back from Cheyenne where he has been looking after his tree claim. Farmers bury your watches and diamond rings for the Assessor will soon be here. -- HOMESTEADER We see J.H. Daggy on our streets again, after his absence at Denver for several weeks. The old homestead in Phillips County has its attractions even when compared with Denver. R.A. Hoskins took the west bound train Saturday morning for Touson, Mexico, where he goes to take the position of overseer of the work on a mine. Bob was one of the pioneers of Holyoke and his strictly upright dealings as a business man and his good natured accommodating actions in his official position as Deputy Treasurer gained for him a large circle of warm personal friends in the town and county. We feel sorry to see such young men leave our town yet we rejoice in Bob’s good luck in securing so good a position and hope that he may have abundant success. At the election of school directors last Monday the candidates were Dr. I.W. Waite, James Temple, C.M.C. Woolman and John Kidd, and the result was the election of Waite and Temple. Waite receiving 89 votes, Temple 91, Woolman 81 and Kidd 87. Considerable of interest was manifested and a novel and exciting feature of the election was the voting of between forty and fifty ladies. Many of the ladies expressed themselves as highly pleased with their first experience in voting. There is no reason why the ladies should not be as prompt to cast their ballots at every school election as the men and should they do so there is no doubt but that we should have better schools. Ladies, vote whenever you have an opportunity to do so for if you do not exercise the rights you have you cannot hope for an enlargement of your rights in this direction.
