Two Hundred and Eighty Years Of I'm
nroyemenf

In 1909, after traversing the Hudson
River from its mouth to Albany, and care
fully noting the grandeur and beauty on
either side of this magnificent highway of
nature, Hendrick Hudson wrote these
words
1T is as beautiful land as one can tread upon"
Two hundred and eighty years have mar
velously increased the beauty of the great
river called by his name, and could he re-
turn to the scenes of his manhood, he
would hnd many more lovely sights
than those upon which his eyes rested
in the early part Of the seventeenth
century. The natural beauties Of the
Hudson are much the same, and no
description can eXaggerate them; but the
magnificent steamers that ply between New
York and Albany, the innumerable sailing
craft that dot the surface of the mighty
river, the never-ending clusters of canal
boats that are being toWed up and down,
the beautiful villas that one encounters at
every turn, the magnificent monuments,
perpetuating heroic deeds, that we find here
and there along the banks Of this noblest
river of the continent, add an endless va
riety to the scenery, and resistless charm
to the eye of the traveller.
The Now York Central and Hudson River
Railroad runs along the bank Of the Hudson
river the entire distance between New Y ork
and Albany, and is the great Trunk Line
that connects the metropolis of the Western
world with the famous health and pleasure
resorts of Central, Northern and Western
New York, including in its list the Catskill
Mountains, Saratoga, Lake George, Sharon
and Richfield Springs, Lake Ontario, the
Berkshire Hills, Niagara Falls, the Thou
sand Islands, Lake Champlain, the River St.
Lawrence, and hundreds of others.
The New York Central is a part OF the
great national highway across the conti-
nent, and for the beauty Of its scenery, the
number and Importance Of the cities through
which it passes, its almost total lack Of
grades and curves, this great four-track
railway is unsurpassed in Europe or Amer
lea.

Wellington Monitor, Nov. %: 1.-THE
trouble we spoke of last week as exist
ing between the company operating the
Conway Springs sugar mill and their
employees, was partially settled by the
bank agreeing to pay the men twenty
five per cent. of the amount due, the
remainder to be paid out of the state
bounty, the claim for which was turned
over to Mr.. Geo. w. Fahs to negotiate.
The company had secured between two
and three thousand dollars by mortgag-
ing quantity of sugar on hand. This
amount had been sent in currency to
the Citizens State Bank, of which Mr..
Geo. Is. Armstrong, the company's
treasurer, was cashier. Instead of pay
ing the hands at the time agreed on.
Mr.. Armstrong, 1t is claimed, applied
the money to the payment of notes held
by the bank for cash advanced. The
employees, when they appeared at the
bank for their pay, were told there was
no money for them, and thinking they
were victims of deliberate plot to
swlndle, made it very interesting for
Mr.. Armstrong for awhile. He was
kept a close prisoner In the bank for
fourteen hours, and had it not been for
the counsel OF some OF the cooler heads.
who discouraged violence, he would
have been roughly handled.
In addition to the $500 due the hands
the mill is owing the farmers a large
amount, said to be nearly $4,000, for
cane furnished. There IS a large in
cumbrance on the plant. and very little
property subject to attachment, so that
it may not be easy to get their claims
satisfied. The trouble with the COM
pany seems to have been lack OF suffi-
Gent working capital. and the difficulty
experienced in disposing of their pro-
duct in time to meet maturing obliga-

Beet Sugar.

1t Is now demonstrated that sugar
beets can be successfully raised in Kan
sas, in Barber county and further, the
| experiments with these beets, just COM
pleted here at Medicine Lodge by the
sugarworks company, resulted in 5000
pounds of as good sugar as was ever
made from cane, beetS or other sugar.
producing plants. The company plant
ed tour experimental patches and the
product averaged tfteen tons of beets
to the acre. The arrangements for
handling them were primitive and much
unnecessary labor was expended. The
same machinery used for handling sor-
ghum cane was used for beets, except
the cutting arrangement. The cane
cutter was not used, but the beets, after
being washed, were dumped into hon.
per and allowed to fall on the cane
snredders, and from there the chips
were carried to the diffusion cells and
from then until the sugar was thrown
out by the centrifugals. the process of
extraction was the same as that en-
ployed in extracting sorghum sugar by
the diffusion process. This factory had
not the facilities for applying the car
bonatation process, which would have
increased its yield probably 100 DER
cent. but even with the disadvantages
mentioned, the first sugar output was
gratifying. Fhe 60 tens OF beets han
died produced 5000 pounds first sugar
or 100 pounds to the ton, and when the
syrup Is run through the vacuum pan
and centrifugals the second time, it is
thought that so pounds more will be de-
rived from every ton OF beets handled.
or about $50 pounds of sugar to the ton
of beets, and the yield would have been
$50 pounds with the appliances men
toned above. This will be much lar
ger yield than has eyer yet neen obtain
ed from sorghum or any other cane. Mr..
Hinze, the sugar expert, who worked
with sugar beets IN Germany Tor seven |
teen years, says he has no doubt that
the beets grown here will produce as |
much sugar as any he ever handled. |
Next year, the Medicine Lodge Sugar
works Co. will likely contract for a con- |
siderable acreage of beets and put in
machinery for properly handling it.
Beets can be grown with little more
care and work than is required for sor-
ghum cane and when matured, they are
worth at the mill twice as much as cane.
and can be kept and worked after the
cane season is overall through the
winter If the beets hold ont.

Overturned in n Rnggr

Last Friday afternoon Miss Jessie
O'Bryan got buggy and team from
Woodlands stable, to go to Lake City,
to bring Mrs. O'Bryan home. She took
Miss Minnie Drysdale along for compa-
ny. They reached Lake City in good
time, found Mrs. O'Bryan, and all three
in the buggy, started for home. When
half mile east of Mingona. they came
to small creek, where a wagon had
been stuck in the mud and sand, and
the driver had dug it out, leaving bad
hole in the creek, which they could not
avoid. Miss Jessie sat in the middle
OF the seat, and was driving. She drove
slowly down the bank, but just as the
front wheels touched the water, the
buggy toppled over to the left. Miss
Minnie was at the bottom, and Miss
Jessie fell on her, and Mrs. O'Bryan on
top. AS the horses kept going, Mrs.
O'Bryan fell forward, between the DASH
board and the horses; Miss Jessie also
fell forward, between the wheels. The
buggy was on its left side, with two
wheels in the air. They were dragged
through the creek, and through the deep
sand. for about thirty feet, when some
thing broke and Miss Minnie was left
lying fiat in the sand. She got up, and
saw the horses moving along with the
wreck, but could not see the other la
dies. She was SO excited, and her clo-
thing was so heavy with water and
sand, that she could scarcely walk. The
horses went about one hundred yards,
and stopped, and the other ladies crawl
ed out. They were in bad plight, but
not one of the three was even bruised
or scratched. Mrs. O'Bryan felt the
hind foot of one horse touch her at eve
ry step. and her face was so close she
felt the breeze caused by the motion of
his feet, and when they stopped she had
to take hold of his leg to help herself to
arise. Their dresses were ruined, and
the buggy top broken to pieces, but no
other damage was done. The buggy
was easily pushed over into its proper
position, and they reached town with a
big story to tell of adventures by water
and by sand.

Impaled on a BUS Tongue,

An unusual accident occurred here
Friday evening, resulting in the killing
of horse and the severe bruising OF a
young man. The bus had just left the
depot on the arrival of the $50 train,
loaded with passengers. When half
way between the bridge and the railroad
track, the bus was brought to sudden
stand-still by horse running sQuarely
on to the end of the tongue, the rider
being thrown against the bus driver.
who was on the outside seat. An ex
animation showed that the horse was
going with such force that the tongue
of the bus, hitting it in the breast, ran
into it fully four feet and nine inches,
stopping against the thigh bone and
causing death in a few minutes. The
horse must have been going with great
speed for the force of the collision
broke the hold-back straps attached to
the L on the end of the bus tongue.
The horse belonged to III. Pardee. The
rider was a boy named Nettle, who
came here about ten days ago and who
was working for his board, he being en-
tirely destitute when he came here.
Pardee had told him to 20 to the depot
to receive a telegram. The boy was
either unaccustomed to handling horses
or he was very reckless. He came near
running into w. w. Cooks team a mo-
ment before the accident, and just be-
fore that he ran uncomfortably close to
II. E. Noble. The boy sustained pain
full cut Oh his right temple, his left hand
was sprained and he was otherwise
bruised up. He was brought up town
and turned over to DR.. Karr who atten-
ded him.
