COLORADO PLANTS BETS.
SYNDICATE TO DEVELOP LAND IN
ARKANSAS VALLEY.
\ Scheme for Sowing $4,000 Acres,
to Yield $4,000 Tons of Sugar in Il
Year From Now.

The Western States are all alive on
the beet sugar question and large
acreage will shortly be under beets
Among the new ventures is one in
Colorado which is reported in recent
San Francisco Chronicle. 1t says:
J. \. Davis. commercial agent for
the Santa Fe Railway, announces that
a syndicate has been formed for the
lands in the Arkansas valley, Col, for
producing beet sugar on a scale never
before attempted in the world.
The investors, whose names are with
held. are to buy 100000 acres of land
from the State in a district where now
there is little grown owing to the diff
Guilty of procuring capital for the de-
velopment of irrigation schemes that
must first be completed before the
land is seeded. An expert has re-
ported that the soil gives good prom
Use of rich returns from sugar beets.
The company has already arranged
for water rights, and will spend some
thing like a million and a half in get
ting the land into shape for cultiva-
ton.
For the first year $4,000 acres will
be sown, and, owing to the necessity
for alternating the crop, the same
amount of land will be used each year,
rotating in forage crops so as to pre-
serve the richness of the soil. 1t is es-
timated that this will yield $4,000 tons
of sugar, or 100000 tons of beets, for
which the company will pay 81 a ton
after the project is fairly under way
and tenants are found for the land.
Until the tenants learn to raise the
beets the company will look after the
production. Adjoining the lands that
the company has in view John A.
Searles has taken up $4,000 acres for
the same purpose.

There is certainly such a thing as an
eXaggeration of economy and a mis-
placement of effort, as in the case of the
genius who advises making court plas-
ter at home out of tightly stretched
black silk and gum arabic or the one
who gives us a long formula for the
compromising of a glue to mend china.
An investment of a dime around the
corner from anywhere procures a sup
ply of either commodity that will last
a year. Such thrift is like that of the
woman who bought cents worth Of
sugar of lead to set the dye in some
calico. She used half, and her economy
would not permit her to throw the rest
edge of a carpet, where she thought it
would be safe, and forgot all about it,.
Later she left home on a visit. She
had been away only a day when in
thinking, as women will, of the impossi-
BILE things she could worry over she
suddenly remembered the poison, and
at once found it very good and ration
al cause for anxiety. How easy for one
of the children to find it in one of those
may attack a child! 1t was at night
that the vexing thought came, and she
was sleepless till morning arrived and
with it the opportunity to send a warn
ing dispatch. AS mere financial trans
action it was not profitable, for the dis
patch cost her 40 cents. There was the
sleepless night to reckon too. - New
York Post

OF Robert Browning, Dean Farrar
says in The Independent that the poet
was the most omnivorous reader he
ever met. He seemed to know some
thing about everything. Il believe"
adds the dean, that when he was
writing 'Sordello' he exhausted every
book in the British museum which
touched on the little known story Of
the Italian poet. The accuracy with
which he mastered even the most re-
condite illusions to his subjects before
he fused them together in the crucibe
of his Imagination was most remarka-
BILE. His memory, too, was very re-
tentive. He once repeated to me d
great part of the poem of poor George
Smart on David, which he regarded as
reaching a very high poetic level. But
he had read everything from Busbe-
quius to Beddos-for whom he told me
he had very high admiration, when 1
had quoted to him some lines from his
dramas. This accuracy was extended
to the minutest and most apparently
insignificant details. IN Florence it is
possible to identify the very spot on
which he was standing when he bought
for few pence the old paper copy of
the trial of Count Guido, which sug-
gested to him his longest, and in some
respects most remarkable poem, The
Ring and the Book

THE INVENTORS GENIUS.
Engineering in Military and Com.
mercinI Warfare.

War is always q horrible possibility
Ia the present condition of European
politics, but when Invested of its per-
sonaI and political details it cannot but
possess a peculiar fascination for the
engineer, especially since engineering
has so largely entered into all the
methods of modern warfare. Since the
last great war the machinery of warfare
has been almost entirely recreated, and,
indeed, many devices have been invent
cd, constructed and become obsolete,
without ever having had a chance to
show what they were worth in actual
combat Should the great powers be-
come involved in warfare, however,
there is no doubt that numerous me-
chanical devices. till the present kept
secret, will appear in various lines OF
fighting machinery, and it is not i'm
| possible that, as in the days of the Mon
itor, ornaments and equipments upon
| which millions have been spent Will
find themselves relegated to the curios-
| ity shop over night.
The restless ingenuity of the invent
or is almost as much of bane to the
| leaders of commercial warfare as to
| the lords of militarism. 1t has been
said and doubtless with truth, that the
| managers of the great commercial COM
binations consider the possibilities OF
superseding inventions as the greatest
element of risk in their calculations.
From this point of attack industrial
combinations are almost helpless, for no
degree of business skill can avail when
whole plants are rendered obsolete by
the advent of some new device OF
process which may supplant the entire
method of manufacture, if not the prod
uct itself. 1t is this equaliZing element
which may, in obedience to the law Of
supply and demand, check to a great
extent the growth of commercial com
| binations, intended to control produc-
| ton, prices and business. The very sue
cess of business combination sets in
ventors to work devising methods.
processes and machines to accomplish
similar results by other means, and nc
man knows what day may bring forth
when the tide of invention is turned in
| any given direction. The natural laws
of the physical forces must control in
the end, and it is to those laws that the
| development CT the commercial side. as
well as the technical portion of human
| industry, must look for ultimate guild

Spring millinery is wonderfully at.
tractive. The flowers look as though
they might have been gathered from
the garden and hot houses and the
shapes are pretty and conservative.
A pretty gimp is of thin lawn and
lace insertion. Some of the gimps
have the insertion and lace running
from collar to waist line. In others the
trimming crosses from side to side. E

A check silk in black and white has
black silk ruffles down all of the seams
of the skirt and AROUND the hem. There
is wide rest and a bolero of the ruffles,
