Colorado Statehood and Centennial Notes from Greeley

Colorado has decided to become a state as the constitution passes by a large majority though exact figures await Southern Territory results. The Denver Daily Tribune expands to nine columns under H Beckart. Hon J Shattuck reviews Greeley history at Centennial Celebration, highlighting his deep ties to the Union Colony. N Meeker reports wheat fields near Greeley and along the railroad show strong yields with 1100 acres potentially rivaling Kansas wheat. Poudre wheat also looks promising with many fields expected to yield 30 to 40 bushels per acre.
