Colorado colony prospectus touts Greeley land and climate
The article promotes Greeley on the Denver Pacific line as a thriving settlement with 1500 residents, three churches, four hotels, schools, canals, and fertile six foot deep soil. It claims high wheat and corn yields, cheap land near the town, and strong inducements for Eastern settlers, while noting irrigation needs and the chance to buy 24 acre and 5 acre plots at low prices. A separate incident reports Mrs. Smith of Gainesville shot dead, with a suspect arrested.
