A Colorado edition comments on July warmth chase from January comfort and warns traction engines not to cross LaSalle bridge. Fort Collins plans new police uniforms while Greeley already uses them. The weather man aided a Sunday concert and about 700 people tried to enter a 500-seat theater.

The Tribune introduces a weekly feature recalling 1872 events in Greeley. It notes two miles of streetcar track, the New Musical Association’s first meeting, and the Rose Hobbins serial by N C Meeker. Advertising cost $2 per inch, weekly price $2.50 yearly, and editorials boast hometown boosterism.
A reflection on the early days of Weld county journalism and the formation of the Tribune over four decades ago. The piece honors the daring journalists who built the paper and expresses hope that the venerable tone remains intact for readers today.
The piece defends the Tribune’s stance on Weld County and city politics amid grand jury scrutiny and alleged malfeasance.

The editor declares readers can judge the Tribune’s position without explanation.
The writer questions the Weld County Republican Party organ for not proving its sincerity by showing the board acted legally and justly in appointing a director for a specific irrigation district. It challenges the party to defend the commissioners through proper legal action and fair process.
Fort Lupton reader C. E. Frink denounces the Delph Carpenter irrigation bill and its advocates. He argues senior water rights and direct irrigation priorities protect farmers in Weld County and warns against redefining when water may be used. He asserts locals fought for forty years to secure property rights and pledges support for the reservoir promoters only if rights are not infringed.
The Poudre Valley notes that the court upheld the commissioners and hints at an opportunity to prove their supporters were right, while criticizing the official organ for hiding such information from the people. The piece implies the public deserves to know when officials are correct.
The reciprocity act of last summer cut duties on Canadian paper, but Canada’s rejection left the act largely inoperative except for the paper provision.

The piece cites protectionists arguing high tariffs raise farm prices and wages, noting 145000 American farmers left for Canada last year while roughly a million workers arrived from Europe. It critiques laborers, claiming many come from the south with low living standards and are guided by trusts in American eyes, implying harms to wages and living conditions.
The high tariff harms American farmers by increasing costs and reducing exports, while it invites foreign competition and keeps prices high for consumers, undermining local agricultural profits and market stability.
