VOLUME 2.
OUTPUT IS
INCREASING
Now Churning 1,300
® r Pounds Each
Week.
sl,l OO Paid out for Month of
June—Four Now Pat
rons Past Week.
Manager W. .1 McPheeters, of the
North Park creamery, is a pretty busy
man these clays, and is getting more
busy each succeeding week. The out
put of the creamery is now 1,300 pounds
of butter a week, with new patrons be
ing added at a most satisfactory rate.
This wees four new ranchmen were ad
ded to the list. The additional cows, 35
head, will increase the output another
200 pounds per week.
The butter is being shipped out as rap
idly as the Laramie stage can handle it
and with the butter market on the up
grade, there is certainly good reason for
the look of satisfaction on Mr. McPheet
ers face.
Monday was payday, the checks for
the cream coming in that evening, and
the amount paid out to the ranchmen for
the month of June was §l,lOO. The
largest check was to D. F. Sudduth,
who is milking twenty two cows, and
the next largest amount was to Fischer
& Johnson, who are now milking seven
teen cows. The highest average yield
of butter fat i>er cow to date is from the
of Holsleins owned by Archie
mmter.
Doing Good Business.
J. W. Welch, the Rand merchant,
was in Walden Tuesday and Wednes
day of this week looking after business
connected with his store.
Mr. Welch states that business is good
in his section of the country and his
trade is slowly but nevertheless surely
reaching out over a larger territory. He
has two freight outfits making a trip
to Granby every two weeks and says
the road over Willow Pass is in better
condition than ever before, the Grand
county commissioners having put in con
siderable money in repairs this spring.
In order to take care of his growing
trade the better Mr. Welch will put on
an express line next Monday to Granby
once a week to start with. This line
will connect with the Walden-Rand line
and any express to and from this section
of the Park will be taken care of.
Mr. Welch deserves much credit for
the manner in which he has built up
and is holding a good trade. His efforts
at all times have been to carry as com

August Anderson Red 6616
Barber and Son Red 6621
Other parties interested will he con
nected up shortly.
Manager Hoover is now at Rand con
necting up the phones on the new line
just finished into that country.
A meeting of the lower Michigan
ranchmen was held in Walden last Fri
day to make arrangements for a line
into the north end of the Park, and the
work of setting poles and stringing
wire is now in full swing. S. S.
Brownlee is looking after the work.
This lino will connect all the ranchmen
as far as the Sidener ranch in the ex
treiue north end of the Park.
Wm. Norell, who is superintending
the work on the Platte river and North
Fork line, is on his way to Laramie with
two four-horse teams to receive the ;
epuipments This line will be a ground ;
ed cureuit, the poles being cross-armed
to the Platte river from which point it
Will be carried on brackets on separate ,
poles to'tlie different subscribers.
Time is money and with a telephone
in the house no ranchman needs to
waste time coining to town to see if
machine parts can be secured. By us
ing the telephone this information can
he secured without an extra trip.
If you need a man, or you want work
leave your name at the Walden Tele
phone exchange, whether you are a sub
scriber or not and Mr. Hoover will try
to help you out. Call him up or talk to
the operator and tell them about it, hut
do not cuss if they are unable to do any
thing, for they are trying, and it will
not cost you a cent.
Short on Dairy Hands.
One of the main drawbacks so far ex
perienced by dairymen who are starting
in business in the Park is the lack of
men who can milk cows. It is, in most
cases, almost an impossibility to secure
men who can and will milk and take
care of cows in the proper manner, and
good dairy hands can secure plenty of
work in the Park at at least S3O a mouth
and board the year around.
This is an excellent opportunity for a
number of good men aiul if they will
just deop a postal to the New Era, they
will be placed in communication with
the right parties.
First North Park Cattle.
The first shipment of the season from
the North Park country arrived at the
WALDEN, COLORADO, THURSDAY, JULY 18. 1907
yards last Monday morning over the
the Moffat road from Kremmling, to
which point they had been trailed from
the Paik.
The hunch consisted of some good
cows brought in by Victor Hanson and
August Anderson and a bunch of good
steers shipped in by Win. Norell.
The cows sold to packers at $-1.10 with
a small cut out at $3.10 and the steers
brought $5.25. The cattle were in good
condition and if they can he taken as a
sample,prospects are bright for some fine
stuir from the Park country later in the
season.
“Our country nevor looked better at
this time of year than it does now,”
said Mr. Hanson who is an experienced
stockman of the Park country. “The
season so far is the best we have ever
had in the Park. Grass is good and we
have an abundant hay crop and cattle
are looking well. There will be lots of
rattle to come to market this summer
and fall from that country and they will
be good.”
Mr. Hanson exacts to be shipping
from North Park all summer. He was
well pleased with the prices received for
the first hunch brought out. —Record-
