A Great Industry.

Mr.. A. G. Fisk, president of the
Colorado Beet Sugar Convention,
says in letter to the Delta Mde-
pendent.
We should enter our protest
against the repeal of the bounty
law and use our influence with the
Legislature of this State to memo
yialize Congress against its repeal.
The erection of beet sugar factories
would more than double the value
of our lands and give employment
to a large number, and stimulate
every industry in our State. We
import l 5000 tons of sugar into
this country every year, for which
we pay S165, 100000. The bounty
on this amount of sugar would
amount to $65, 200, 900 per annum,
and tins money would be distrib-
uted at home among the producing
classes instead of being sent abroad.
1t would require 700 factories to
produce the amount of sugar we
now import; of this number Colo
RADIO should have at least 100, that
would require in their construction
$50, 900, 900 of foreign capital; each
factory would consume daily 500
tons of beets, so tons of coal, GO
tons of coke and tons Of limestone.
and would turn out about 20 tons
of refined sugar. From careful es-
Inmates it is believed that each fac
tory would give employment, di-
Cectly and indirectly, in the cult.
vation of the beets, hauling them to
the mills, mining and handling the
coal and limestone and burning the
coke, to about $4,000 people; 100
factories would, therefore, give EN-.
ployment to about 1000, 900 peo-
pile, and probably add to the popu-
lation of Colorado 5000, 900 people.
at requires 5000 acres of ground to
furnish beets for each factory; 100
factories would take 100000 acres
of land, which We will suppose is
worth, properly irrigated, $50 per
acre, $l5, 100000 and the beet fac
tories would at least double the
value of this land, which would add
s15, 100000 to the taxable wealth
of this State, to say nothing of the
stimulus given by each factory to
coal mining industry by consuming
in a campaign of $50 days, $4,000
tons of coal, and 100 factories,
1900, 900 tons of coal. The indus
tries that would be established in
coal and limestone mining, and
burning of coke and other materials
nsed il the manufacture of sugar,
would add to the industries of this
State an amount that cannot now
be computed in dollars and cents,
and would make us independent of
the gold trust of the world.

GEN. BEAUREGARD'S DEATH.
Another of the Great Figures of the
Late War.

announcer OF Ine GT0dt Figures OF the
Late War.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 21.-Gen-
eral p. &. I. Beauregard died sud-
denly at 1920 o'clock last night.
He had been i'll for two weeks and
was declared at the point of death
10 days ago, but was recovering,
when an unexpected change car
ried him off.
Gen. Pierre Gustave Toutant
Beauregard was best known after
the war as the man who had di-
rected the attack on Fort Sumter
that began the civil conflict. He
was born near New Orleans in 1917
or 1918, the exact date being in
doubt. He graduated from West
Point in 1888, and when the Mexi-
can war broke out went to the front
to do some brave fighting. He won
the rank of captain after the battle
of Contreras and Churubusco. lie
was twice wounded at Chapultepec,
and was rewarded for bravery with
the rank of major. He was sta
toned at New Orleans from 1S49 to
1860 in charge of the Mint, Gus.
tom-house and Marine Hospital,
and was also at the head of the en-.
gineering operations on the lower
Mississippi and the gulf. He was
appointed superintendent of West
Point in January, 1861, but re.
signed in less than a month to &C.
cept a brigadier-generalship from
the Southern Confederacy, and was
selected to lead the attack on Fort
Sumter by President Davis.
He was in the battle Of Bull Rim
with Gen. j. F. Johnston, and in
after years insisted that if that bat
tie had been fought as he planned
it, there would have been different
ending to the war. He insisted
that his strategy would have re-
suited in the capture of Washing
ton. In 1852 he went to the De-
partment Of Tennessee as second
in command, and, taking full COM
mand against Gen. Grant after the
death of Gen. A. s. Johnston at
Shiloh, gained much success on
April 6, but next day was beaten.
Gen. Grants troops having been
re-enforced during the night by
General Buell.. Besuregsrd re-
treated to fortified point at Cor
inth, and held it against the Union
soldiers under General Halleck un-
til the end Of May. He defended
Charleston throughout 1868 against
the attacks of General Gilmore and
Admiral Dahlgreen.
He faced General Butler next
year, checking his advance on Pet
ersburg until the arrival of General
Lee. In the autumn of 1864 he
was placed in command of the De-
partment of the West, and made
desperate but fruitless efforts to
check General Sherman's march to
the sea. He surrendered to Sher-
man in April, 1865. After the war
General Beauregard lived in New
Orleans, and was connected with
several business enterprises.

governor. and the Republicans
claim that they have gained all that
they ever demanded. The decision
of the courts is now awaited with
great anxiety.
The Populists are very much dis
couraged at the turn affairs have
taken, and are abusing the governor
for agreeing to the terms of peace.
Many of the leaders say that they
will not obey the Supreme Court

The grim monster death has
again visited our town, and this
time claimed for his victim one of
our most beloved and respected
citizens.
DR.. S. Switzer died at his resi-
dence Tuesday morning at o'clock
and was buried Thursday at $50
p. m. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. N. Hart of the
Baptist church of which the doctor
was an active member. Rev. Hart
took as his text, Thes. 4th chap.
14th V. He spoke of the deceased S
many good qualities, stating that
his object in this life did not seem
to be to lay up treasures on earth
but in heaven. His many acts of
kindness, his deeds of charity, his
Christian example, all are worthy
of our limitation.
The funeral procession was the
largest ever seen in our community.
The doctor had many friends and
a wide field Of practice and they
came from far and near to pay their
last respects to their old family
physician and many moist eyes
were seen gathered around his bier.
He died very suddenly. He had
been feeling indisposed for several
months but continued his practice
up to the day of his death. The
sickness which eliminated his death
was short. He was standing on the
side walk in front of his office when
he slipped and fell, but succeeded
in getting into the house unaided.
He soon after complained to his
son of being unwell and requested
| to have his boots removed and put
on the bed. After being put to oed
he never spoke and remained un-
conscious until 4 o'clock next morn
ing when he calmly passed away.
Deceased was highly respected by
all who knew him and he leaves
many friends to mourn his death.
DR.. Switzer was born in Somer-
set county, Pa. in 1929, and spent
his early life in teaching school and
farming. He afterward studied
surveying and was a practical sur
veyor; later he studied medicine
and became a very successful ply.
sician. He married Sarah Hine-
baugh, of Accident, Md, in 1854,
who died in 1870 leaving him five
children-two boys and three girls
all of whom survive HIM. After
ten years of widowerhood he mar
ried Demius Wable's widow who
only lived few years and died Of
consumption, again leaving him a
widower. He never remarked.
He moved to Markleysburg in 1865
and commenced practice with DR..
B. A. Feichtner who afterwards
moved away leaving the entire prsc-
tice in the hands of DR.. Switzer.
The doctor was u Democrat of
the Jeffersonian school and was
ready at all times to give reasons
for his political convictions. His
children were all present at the
funeral except his youngest son
John who is in the U. s. service at
Ft. Sherman, Idaho.

Union VS.. Non-Union Labor.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Discussion is
warm between the union and non-union
printers over the candidacy of c. w. Ed
wards, of Delaware, for public printer, the
objection to whose appointment was made
by a delegation of union printers. Yester-
day the president was waited upon by
committee including many printers, and of
which the editor of a Washington paper
was chairman, who strongly protested
against the president yielding to the in
fluence of union labor and fiercely attacked
the union and charged that its laborers
constitute but a small proportion of the
industrial workers of the land. The fight
is waxing hot
