j. II. Holmes of Glenwood who
represents the Denver Chamber of
Commerce. was in town Tuesday
and talked sugar beet to a few of
our people who had enough inter-
est in the matter to attend the
meeting. Mr.. Holmes is an en-
thusiast on the subject of beet cul-
ture and regards it MS the entering
wedge which is to make farming a
diversified Industry. Mr.. Holmes
says the farm products Of Colora.
do are moro valuable than those of
mines, but there is too great a ten
dency all over the state to chance
everything on some special thing.
In this valley it is all wheat and
oats; ut Geeley it is all potatoes; ut
Grand Junction it is nothing but
fruit; at Rocky Ford it is watcrmel-
ons, etc. Tho independent farmer
Is the one who raises diversified
crops.
MIR. Holmes came to the valley
under the impression that beet cul-
ture had not been tried here and
was surprised to learn that Success
ful beet culture had long since
passed the experimental stage and
had become 4 demonstrated fact,
and the only question is what about

says bects ere worth @ to % q ton
for lambs, cattle and hogs. There
are IS counties in Colorado 10
which beets can be SUCCESSFULLY

any sugar factory and warns far
mers not to contract to furnish fac

per,ence just what they can do
pro6tably, but be is urging farm

ar beets as an entering wedge" to

quentIy to independence, and he pre-
diets that beet culture will at some
time become ~ essential a. wheat

War Br.,lt,ss.

war BfovltAoos
The question asked all the week
has been, where il the enemy or
their feet"
The American Asiatic squadron
left Hong Kong for Manila, the
capital Of the Philippine islands,
Tuesday to block the ports Of those
islands. This feet consists Of the
flag ship Olympia, one Of the best
cruisers afloat; the cruisers Balti-
more, Boston, Concord, Raleigh,
the gunboat Petrol. the dispatch
boat Hugh Mccullough and the
steamers Naushau and Zafiro.
The Spanish feet is expected to
meet the Asiatic squadron at any
time and q decisive naval engage
ment will be the result.
There is a disposition on the
part of our navy department to
move cautiously and take no chan
ces of having our vessels needless
ly destroyed.
The United States have prac-
tically recognized the Cuban in.
surrent government and are pre-
pairing to cooperate with the Gu
ban forces in making q land attack
ON Havana.
As yet the Spanlards have made
no captures of American vessels of
any consequence. The city of
Paris and the Shenandoah have
not fallen into the enemy's hands
as reported.
The crack Spanish battleship
Pelayo, instead Of speeding across
the Atlantic is in the Mediterran-
can on her way to Cadiz.
Admiral Sampson Wednesday
afternoon bombarded, silenced and
pretty well destroyed the Spanish
batteries in position and in course
of construction at the entrance Of
the harbor of Matanzss. He did
it with the flagship New York, the
monitor Puritan and the cruiser
Cincinnati. Not one of the Amer
lean ships was struck, the Spanish
gunnery being wild. The battle
was short, lasting only Is minutes.
Sixty Spaniarls are reported to
have been killed in the engage
ment.
The net is being drawn tighter
and tighter about the beleagured
island, and it would now require a
genius indeed to thread his way
through the blockading lines with
any kind of craft and make port
between Pinar del Rio and Sauti-
ago de Cuba.
BY Saturday it il expected the
North Atlantic squadron will strike
a blow at a Cuban port which will
result in the seizure Of an Ameri.
can base Of operations.
