EASTERN COLORADO, AND WELD COUNTY!
A Short Description Of The Country
People and Business Men.
To eastern people, who have but a meager conception of
this grand, magnificent and unparalleled agricultural belt, this issue is
respectfully dedicated.
In tracing these lines no
subterfuge, misrepresentation or exaggeration shall be brought into play for
the purpose of deceiving the credulous or imposing upon the thousands of "home
seekers" who are daily making anxious and earnest inquiry regarding title
country. Cold, plain, unvarnished facts, free from the slightest color of
falsity are only required in an article descriptive of the marvelous upper
Republican Valley country. Nothing whatever could be gained by a resort to
exaggerated word paintings. Though the Pioneer was three-fold its present size,
the facts, as they actually and absolutely exist, regarding the broad expanse
of fertile acres which lie contiguous to charming Yuma, the Queen City of the
Valley, could not half be told.
WELD COUNTY
comprises a
territory seventy miles in width and one hundred and fifty miles in length, and
is situated in the first tier of counties west of the state line of Nebraska.
The B. & M. R. R. runs through the county from east to west following the
Yuma Valley, thereby affording splendid market facilities and vouchsafing the
rapid transit of all the products of the country, which are designed for
exportation to the great commercial marts of the world. While the subject of
markets is being treated, it will be well for the reader to be cognizant of the
fact that this country enjoys the privileges of a splendid western market as
well as those afforded by the eastern markets of New York and Chicago. Denver
being the great supply depot of the mining districts of Colorado, including a
considerable portion of the territories of Utah and Montana, and as we are in
direct railway communication with this great central mart, we are enabled to
unload our surplus products at prices which are never low, but often
"fancy."
UNEQUALED FERTILITY OF SOIL
would be a proper and truthful expression of the actual condition of the soil
of Weld county. It is a dark, rich, vegetable loam, practically inexhaustible
and a depth which is truly marvelous In many instances soil which has been
taken from wells at a depth of one hundred and fifty feet has boon put to the
test of fertility with results which would be rejected as incredible Were It
not for the unmistakable verification of a demonstrative test. That this grand
country, dotted here and there with the substantial tokens of civilization,
brought under subjection by the important factors of man's incomprehensible
power and made to blossom with the wealth of agricultural products, was at one
time in the ages past the bed of some mighty ocean, there can be no doubt. As
evidence of this, the writer would call attention to the deposits of oyster and
various marine shells now to be found upon the loftiest peaks of the Rocky
Mountain ranges. The whole range of country from the "snow-capped Rockies" to
the turbulent waters of the Missouri river is composed of ocean sediment,
deposit accumulated during the cretaceous age, making a rich soil of over one
hundred feet deep. One of the interesting features of this country, and one
which is attracting the attention of the world´s greatest scientists, is
the fossil remains of prehistoric man (giants), found, together with that of
the mastodon, which have been exhumed and are now on exhibition in the city of
Denver. What ages must have intervened since these mammoth specimens of the
brute creation roamed at will over these vast plains.
THE FARM PRODUCTS
of this country
consist of corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley and brush. Corn is king and leads all
other products, giving to the "horny-handed sons of toil" a splendid
remuneration for labor expended in growing it. It is a fact, that numerous
fields of sod-corn in this county yielded forty bushels per acre last year.
Brush or broom-corn is very profitably grown here, the prices for this
commodity, when prepared for market, ranging from seventy-five to one hundred
dollars per ton. Vegetables are grown abundantly and with marvelous
prolificness, the "Irish lemon" being particularly adapted to this soil. Quite
a number of the farmers have turned their attention to the cultivation of tame
grasses and with wonderful success. Clover, timothy and Kentucky blue grass are
varieties which have been tested, and the gratifying result leads the writer
into the belief that the day is indeed close at hand when this whale country
will abound with luxurious meadows carpeted with these valuable grasses.
The succulent blue-stem is fast superceding the native
buffalo grass, and affords a supply which usually meets the demands of home
consumption.
FRUIT CULTURE
which is
generally overlooked by the pioneer class, is at last receiving the recognition
which it so justly deserves. Fruit is necessary to the proper preservation of
good health, besides affording a princely revenue to the producer. That fruit
of such varieties as is grown in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio can
be successfully and profitably propagated here there can be no question. The
same conditions which crown fruit culture with success and profit in those
states are found here. Furthermore, our climate is much dryer and freer from
dampness, conditions which will be recognized as affording protection to
orchards daring severe cold snaps, which frequently occur late in the spring
months and invariably accompanied by blighting and destructive frosts.
CHEAP FUEL
The question of fuel and its cheapness is of paramount
importance and deeply interests all who contemplate settling in this prairie
country. In this particular, Weld county is blessed, as its surface is
beautified with many acres of a native timber of the ash, elm, box-elder,
hackberry, cottonwood and other varieties.
The extensive
coal fields of the west with which we have direct railway communication,
furnish us coal at very reasonable figures, and the very best of anthracite at
that.
SCHOOL, CHURCH AND SOCIETY
Privileges are in keeping with the rapid strides which have been made in the
development of this country in the past five years. Colorado ranks second to
none in the Union in educational matters. Ninety-seven out of every hundred of
her population can read and write, and reader, you can rest assured that Weld
county is proud of that record and will see to it that the per cent of
knowledge never lessens at least in the area which falls under her
jurisdiction. Ample schools may be found all over, so that those coming here
from the east sacrifice none of the rich blessings which accrue to communities
by the higher privileges of culture and education. Religious advantages are
vouchsafed and the various branches of the "mother church" have a liberal
following. The social strata of society represents an excellency that is marked
and commendable. Have no fear, dear reader, but what you will find in this
county a populace composed of the better elements of society; a people who
revere the highest excellency of pure morals and represent every moral virtue
which is worthy of emulation.
IN CONCLUDING
our general
remarks and before we pass to a review of superb YUMA, the QUEEN CITY of Weld
county, we desire to note in retrospect a sweeping review of this agricultural
Eden. The reader is respectfully requested to follow us closely in this
retrospect in order that none of the numerous privileges are overlooked. Our
lands are not only rich, fertile and productive, but they are, furthermore,
"dirt cheap." Wild and unimproved lands are quoted at figures ranging from
three to ten dollars per acre, while farms under a high state of cultivation
and well improved may be purchased at from eight to twenty dollars per acre.
Reader, are you not aware that each year places an increased valuation on these
Lands, which will soon place them far beyond the reach of the man who is even
in fair financial circumstances. The writer knows whereof he speaks when he
makes the statement that land which is selling in this locality to-day at five
dollars an acre will, ere another year, enhance its value fifty per cent. The
marked increase in the price of lands during the past year is more than
corroborative proof of this statement. This country, besides being a
pre-eminent agricultural belt, affords the highest possible advantages for
profitable stock culture. Long summers, short, mild winters and an extended
range, luxurious with nutritious and succulent grasses, are the prime factors
in the successful and profitable manipulation of stock.
In educational, religious and social benefits we are well
advanced, in point of location we are peculiarly favored. Situated between the
Platte and Republican rivers, we are in a position to enjoy all the benefits of
rain storms; which large bodies of Water naturally attract. In close proximity,
so to speak, of the splendid markets of Denver and a band of steel bringing us
in close communion with eastern markets, our position is indeed enviable.
Our climate is a glorious inspiration—an outpouring from
the storehouse of Nature´s richest gifts. A genial, invigorating,
life-promoting clime, with its wealth of pure air, a never-failing panacea for
all pulmonary ailments; its redundancy of sunny days; its cool and refreshing
zephyrs, which ever and anon sweep across our boundless prairies, freighted
with the fragrance of floral contribution, and fanning into renewed life and
energy all nature that is touched with its magnetic influences. Glorious,
dazzling and bewitching sunrises: a sublimity, grandeur and scenic splendor of
sun-setting which no language can adequately describe. Poor sufferer from the
cruel pangs of rheumatism and the odiousness of obnoxious and disgusting
catarrh, here is a climate which will effectually and permanently cure you.
PURE, SWEET AND WHOLESOME WATER
is found in every nook of Weld county, and is obtained at a
depth of from sixteen to thirty feet in the valleys. On the high uplands the
wells are deeper, having an average depth of one hundred and fifty feet. Water
never fails here, but at all times furnishes an abundant supply. It is wholly
free from unhealthy properties, such as alkali and limestone deposits. A fine
building stone is found in various portions of the county, which lies near the
surface and is obtainable without any costly or laborious quarrying.
We are here to stay and have something at stake which we
cannot afford to sacrifice. Those coming to Yuma will find us here, ready and
willing to make good the statements in this issue.
Now,
reader, if you have under contemplation a tour of this country it will be well
for you to decide on some definite plan of action before you depart from your
eastern home. Make up your mind just what you want prior to waving a "good-bye
to wife and babies" and boarding the train. If you want a choice piece of land
and a desirable home you can be suited right here. No need to trudge all over
the country, spending your money and wearing out your life traveling here,
there and everywhere. If good land and fine soil is your boon you can find both
essentials in this county. There is no question but that hundreds of "land
hunters" lose more money and miss better opportunities racing around over the
country than they could possibly do by coming to a halt at once and immediately
securing land when they reach their destination. Do not imagine all land agents
are sharks, who have no object in view but to fleece the unwary and impose on
the credulous. Land agencies are a benefit to the purchaser, as they enable him
to secure tract, of land without spending time and money to hunt up such as he
may desire. Our agents are engaged in a legitimate business and are well
established here, working mutually for the benefit of seller and buyer, They
solicit correspondence, and will cheerfully send, without any cost, samples of
grain or other products of this country on application. The names of Yuma land
agents can be found elsewhere in these columns, all of whom the PIONEER is
ready to recommend to those who may call upon them to transact business.
===================
Questions
Answered.
What is deeded land selling for? From five to twelve and a
half dollars per acre, depends on improvements and location.
What can claims be had for? Tree claims from $300 to
$1000 per quarter section.
What are the most profitable
crops grown in Weld county? Corn, Oats, Wheat, Rye, Barley and Broom corn.
Does tame grass do well? Yes, we can show some as fine
fields of Clover and Timothy as you ever saw.
Have you
much land for sale? Yes, and in tracts from 40 to 2500 acres.
Have you any tracts suitable for stock ranches? You bet,
stock farms of 320 or 2000 acres each, with plenty of timber, running water and
stone.
How deep do you have to go for water? In the
valleys from 14 to 35 feet: on the high divides from 60 to 200 feet.
What is the soil and subsoil? We have no subsoil; the
soil is a sediment of sea deposit and no man has ever fathomed the depth of the
soil. Composed of decomposed sea shell, sea weed, magnesia and black vegetable
mould inter-mixed for more than 100 feet.
What of the
water? Pure and soft. Have you alkali? No, you will have to go farther west or
to Dakota for that luxury.
What is the price of breaking
new land? From $1.50 to $2.00 per acre and a good team will break from two to
three acres per day and it will grow from 25 to 40 bushels of corn to the
acre.
(What kind of grass?) Principally buffalo, but the
large amount of rainfall the past few years is fast killing out the buffalo
grass and blue stem is fast taking its place; hay is selling from $10 to $18
per ton.
What are the taxes on 160 acres of land? About
$10.
Is your county in debt? No, and we have fine brick
county buildings.
What are cattle worth on foot? From
three to four cents, Hogs four cents, Butter twenty-five cents, Potatoes
sixty-five to one dollar cents per bushel, Corn forty-five cents, Oats

Have you land agents in
Yuma? Yes, plenty of them, thicker than black birds, and all of them honorable
business men.
What are your railroad facilities? We have
the B. & M. which stands for Burlington and Missouri railroad, but it don't
stop for the Missouri or any other stream. It has jumped the Mississippi at
Burlington, Iowa, the Missouri at Plattsmouth, Neb., spread her branches all
over Kansas and Nebraska, reached Denver, and is now on her way to China. It is
a question whether the B. & M. will tunnel, bridge or jump the Pacific
before blowing her whistle in Hong Kong.
Is there any
government land in the Yuma Valley? Yes, plenty of it and as nice land as ever
laid out of doors subject to Pre-emption, Homestead and Timber culture entry.
How far from the railroad can such land be found? From
five to forty miles.
Have you plenty of hotel
accommodations? Yes, the Commercial and Avenue houses; both landlords pleasing
and accommodating.

Business Firms In Yuma,
We shall attempt in this issue to give the reader some idea as to the size of YUMA and the different branches of business operated and by whom. In the centre of this page we present a cut of Yuma made from a photograph taken when the town was but three months old. The picture does not show the entire town as it was at that time, but shows the main street. Since the time when the photograph was taken, there has been several buildings erected including the 'Bank of Yuma,' a two story frame, and the ‘Commercial Hotel." a large frame structure erected by CAPT. WM. HARLOCKER, formerly of Hastings, Neb., at an expense of about five thousand dollars. It is now rented by MILL & BORLEY.
A fine, large two story depot, tank and section house, stand to one side and were not taken with the rest of the town.
OF HER BUSINESS MEN
Yuma can well
be proud. They are enterprising, and thorough westerners knowing how to build a
town and do it successfully. Among them is the old pioneer
I. N. FOSTER,
who is still engaged
in the general merchandise trade in the firm known as Huber & Co. They
carry a full stock and are doing a good, comfortable business.
BIRDSALL & MORTON,
formerly of
Hastings and Friend, Neb, the second parties to launch forth in business and
now rank foremost in the general merchandise line. These gentlemen have enjoyed
a large and paying trade since locating here and now do their full share of the
business of the town. About the time that the above named firm started,
F. WILMS
of Arapahoe, Neb., also
established himself here in the same line, and is now, conducting a branch
store at Akron, about twenty-five miles west.
WILCOX & FOWLER
of McCook, a
little later on, decided to follow suit and for several months engaged in the
same line of business. Recently they sold to
W. H. ROSCRANS
who is conducting
the business and enjoying his share of the trade along with the rest.
FLYNN & SHEEDY
about four
months ago succeeded in purchasing the property and general stock then owned by
Foster & Woods. They have realized a splendid cash trade and consider their
investment a good one.
LUMBER YARDS.
In the
lumber line we have two firms represented; that of W. C. Bullard & Co. of
Culbertson, Neb., with E. U. Hampton as their resident manager, and the Frees
& Hocknell Lumber Co., with T. B. Babcock as their manager. Both yards have
done a good business, in fact better that they would desire to have known. The
managers of both yards are fine business men and valuable acquisitions to our
little city.
A. F. MEYER
is engaged in running the
only hardware store in Yuma, and we fear too, that Alex. has fared too well.
Mr. Meyer is formerly from Hastings, Neb. He carries a very complete line of
hardware and some furniture.
THE PIONEER DRUG STORE
established by Shaw,
Beach & Co., but is owned and controlled by C. M. Ashmore of McCook, Neb.,
who has since added to his stock, until now. Yuma has a drug store second to
none in the west. A full line of goods usually carried in a drug
store, is
kept constantly on hand.
LAVERTY & WARD
were established where Yuma
is now located when the writer first visited eastern Colorado, They are engaged
in the livery business Which they carried on very extensively when people were
coming to locate their claims at a very early date, and even before a side
track was put in by the B. & M, They came in company with
MACPHERSON & FRANCIS,
genuine western men,
who were then locating settlers in the Yuma Valley, and later on adjoining land
around Yuma. These firms have done as much, if not more, for the settlement of
the valley and the building up of Yuma than any other four men among us, or
inhabiting the country for miles around. Of the wholesale and retail
FLOUR, FEED AND GRAIN
houses, we have the firms
of Harvey Bros. and G. B. Summerville both old residents of the country.
SHUCK & HEINEKE
are engaged in running the
Rocky Mountain Billiard hail and are recognized as among the first
settlers.
MR. FRITZGERALD
is engaged in the restaurant
business, and while here has succeeded in building up a good reputation and
custom. Among our blacksmiths is the firm of Benge & Peck who were the
first to locate among us, being on hand about, as soon as any one. Later
on,
A. J. MCKINNEY
came in and located a homestead
and engaged in the blacksmith trade in town during the day.
THE YUMA HOTELS
are conducted, the Commercial
by Mill & Borley, and the Avenue House by W. H. Allen; both having good
reputations abroad for the accommodating manner in which they treat their
guests.
BANK
Bostwick & Yerkes are engaged in the
banking business and as yet are without competition. We mentioned elsewhere in
these columns, their building which was not yet erected when the photograph was
taken.
REAL ESTATE AGENTS,
The Yuma real estate agents are a
set of men that are well adapted to the business and of whom Yuma can well feel
proud. They are all men of families who have located themselves here to make it
their home. The oldest of them is the old reliable
JOHN B. WESTCOTT
about the first white man to
locate in the Yuma Valley. W. H. Pershing and Chas. H. Madeley are also engaged
in the same line of business and are well known to all the settlers of the
valley.
J. M. ABBOTT
was the first to locate in Yuma,
in the law and contest business and is a man of a great deal of business
experience and especially the practice of law in the west and had it not been
for securing a home and a piece of land for himself and family he would not
have settled among us, as he more properly belongs where his practice would
amount to more.
JOHN SMITH
formerly of Holdrege, Nebraska, was
the next to come and enjoys his share of the law and contest practice, and
quite recently
GRANVILLE PENDELTON
has made his debut into the
professional circles and will no doubt receive his share of the law practice
including contests and buying and selling of relinquishments.
===========================
We cannot attempt in this issue to give a complete review of the business men and tradesmen, as our time has been limited, but from what we have here given, the reader can come to some conclusion as to the QUEEN CITY of the Yuma Valley, and the nature of the business engaged in by her people. There ate still a great many branches of trade not yet represented and several that the people should enjoy the benefits of in the way of lively competition, and we dare say will, when spring opens and people begin to hustle around looking for new and better locations. In the spring, as soon as it is practicable, the erection of a five thousand dollar school house will be commenced, and the writer knows personally of several other buildings in the way of business rooms that will he built. The carpenter and mechanic out of employment would do well to come and look the ground over, and´ not hesitate until it is too late.
