II. j. Holmes, of the Glenwood
Springs Avalanche, passed through
this city Thursday morning on his
way to Lamar. where he will en-
deavor to interest the farmers of
Prowers county in the culture OF
sugar beeis. Friday he visited
Rocky Ford on the same enter
prisipg errand. MIR. Holmes is
very enthusiastic concerning sugar
beet culture, and his efforts thus
far in interesting chambers OF COM
merce and county commissioners
in developing his scheme of arous-
ing interest in the subject have
met with very hattering success.
Tuesday he succeeded in inducing
the Business Mems Association OF
Pueblo to make an appropriation
OF $500 and the county commits
sioners one OF $500, which is to he
distributed in that county in prizes
to the farmers growing the best
sugar beets.
The farmers must be interested
and learn to put in a diversified
crop, and not depend altogether
on csnialoupes and watermelons.
We think our commissioners would
make wise move in appropriating
sIoo TO be distributed in prizes
among Oicro county farmers. IL
would act as an impetus to give
sugar beet culture trial.
The Santa Fe has also been in
terested in sugar beet culture, aud
have announced their Willingness
TO hang up prize of a free trip TO
Chicago and return. and three days
entertainment at first class hotel
to he presented to tn. farmer rais-
ing the best sugar beets during the
present year. The TRIBUNE has
also decided to hang up a prize
and to the farmer making the best
showing in beet culture this year
we will present FIVE years paid
up subscription.
The Arkansas Valley is rapidly
developing into the greatest field
in the west for the fattening OF cat
tie and sheep. Sngar beets are
said to be unexcelled as feed for
stock, and the immense herds Of
lambs now in the Arkansas Valley
would thrive much better on sugar
bee,s and alfalfa than ON alfalfa
alone. and much cheaper than on
corn brought in from the east.
The agricultural school at Fort
Collins has enough seed TO give
two pounds, or sufficient to plant
one-eighth Of an acre, to each
farmer in the state. With each lot
OF seed sent out there is blank to
be filed. showing the care and cul-
tivation. given the experimental
plot and also the directions for

willing to try the experiment may

Office, and their application for

On account of the scarcity OF
water the Anaconda company has
been sinking new well back
of the coke ovens and several hun
dred feet from the creek bed.
After going down about 18 feet
through gravel and sand they came
to streak of slate colored clay.
To ascertain if possible what the
thickness of this clay streak might
be a three inch pipe was driven
into it to the depth OF two and one
half feet when it broke through
into chan1el or body of water and
quicksand. When the pipe was
removed the water came boiling
up through the hole and with it
numberless small fishes varying in
size from two to six inches in
length. The fish are very much
alive and apparently In fine con-
dition. About two miles above
Armington just below where the
Otter empties into Belt creek the
water sinks away into the ground.
1t makes it's appearance again in
the bed of the creek about five
miles below Belt. 1t is believed
that In sinking this we'll the under
ground channel of the creek has
been found. How the fish came
there and how they manage to live
thus shut away from the light .ano
air is a matter for conjecture. By
those who profess some knowledge
of such things it is claimed tha'
the spawn of the fish is carried
through the gravel by the watel
into the underground cavities
where they hatch and the finny
little fellows live and die withou
seeing the light of day, enough
food and air being carried in will
the water to supply their meage'
wants. s.-Standard.
