Burlington Begins Construction for Greeley Line Route
Burlington railroad starts work on a new line from Guernsey and Torrington toward Greeley and Hudson connecting with the Denver branch. About thirty carloads of material and laborers were moved to Guernsey as crews began Tuesday, with the path following eastern Wyoming to Grover and Cheyenne before reaching Hudson. If Greeley is bypassed, the line would pass through Kersey, but planners expect Greeley to remain central to the route.

Figures Tell Story of Lamb Feeding Value Debate
The piece explains the annual dispute between farmers and lamb feeders over lamb value amid US hay shortages. Government reports show light hay nationwide, especially near Greeley due to grasshoppers, while Warley and corn remain cheaper. With limited hay, few lambs will be fed, though hay prices may rise. Feeder estimates suggest feeding costs shift with grain prices, and rangemen anticipate a $1 to $1.26 per head rise in lamb value. The Tribune recounts a small lamb bunch feeding last year, noting farmers often omit labor and farm costs in calculations.
