coLoRADo's RESOURCES.

SOLORADOS RESOURCES.
The mineral wealth of Colorado
is not the only factor in her great
ness. Colorado is also an agricul
tural state, and in one particular
it may claim first place. OF thir-
ty-two states that produce sugar
beets, the chemical tests thus fa1
made at Washington show that
Colorado beets produce the highest
percentage of sugar. In this re-
spect Pueblo is the leading county,
the percentage being little more
than Is per cent. In the matter
of purity of the separated product
Colorado beet sugar tests about S5
per cent. This fact is becoming
known throughout the east, and
even at this time syndicate of
eastern capitalists is in correspond
ence with the Business Mems as
sociation at Pueblo uponthe ques-
ton of erecting beet sugar fac
tory at that place. They are care
fully investigating general condi-
tions, and, if they are favorably
impressed with the results. they
will erect 500 ton per day plant
The sugar beet industry is but
one of the many pursuits to which
Colorado has recently been apply
ing herself, and the east must soon
come to roalinins eenso or the

are as good as the best. Her

has so long looked upon us as be-
ing made up of hollow-eyed pros
pectors, long haired cowboys and
stage coach holdups, must recog-
nize the people of the Centennial
state as fully abreast of the times.
At this time there is but one
element in our condition that
makes us amenable to eastern
criticism, and that is the erratic
policy of the politics of the state
When once our political parties
settle respectively upon some fixed
policy, and work along those
lines, then the present politica
approbrium will be removed ano

CITIZENS OF FLORENCE.

I because we were in the minority
and that we saw that our candi
dates were about to be defeated
We do not mind the defeat of oul
people, but we do object to taking
part in a meeting that is run by
an attorney who has not been in
the state a year, and who has
shown to our satisfaction that he
and w. M. Squyres control and
own, body and soul, four members
of the board.
When it was seen at All p. m.
on that date, that Bedwell did not
come down on the train, he and
Squyres got a horse and buggy
and went to Canon City and
brought him down to vote as they
dictated This is different from
the scene that took place in the
attorneys Office when Squyres APP
piled all the foul names and abuse
that he could lay his tongue to in
abusing Bedwell, and threatening
to slap him through the wall.
What has caused Bedwell to
change his opinion of Squyres?
Does he turn his other cheek to
be slapped, or is he AFRAID of
Sqnyres telling mhd he knoms 2
Squyres said he would make him
do as he said, and he has kept his
word.
When Deibert was voted on for
mayor pro TEN he did not want to
vote for himself, but the attorney
said | want you to vote, you must
do it. 1t has come to pretty
time of day when the town of Flor
ence is run by one or two meIf.
Squyres says he is going to have
a special meeting called to accept
his bond in day or two. From
April to November, 1898. the DO
lice magistrate had collected over
$500 town funds. In November
Lines made motion which car
ried unanimously that the collec-
ton of these funds he toLo-> r.
the police magistrate and given to
he police department. From that
LAY to the end of the term the town
has not received one cent of these
funds. Did the police committee,
Lines, Bedwell and Deibert, do
their duty, or did the marshal do
his duty, or did they all stand in
together? 1t looks awful suspi-
aious, 1t was all right for
Blunt, Deibert and Lines to delay
and block legislation of the board
at its first meeting, but it is wrong
tor us to do anything of the kind
now.
The attorney was heard to re-
mark in his Office that if Stewart
did not want to file his bond he
would get another man to take his
place, for you know what he says
must go. We have heard great
deal concerning lobbyists in con-
nection with Legislative bodies In
this country, but we have never
heard of a lobbyist before who
wanted to push his pet scheme
have the audacity to sit up at the
presiding officers chair and dictate
to body every move they should
make just say | want this done
| want that done and it went just
that way.
Fellow citizens, we consider
such actions a disgrace to the
lobbyist, a disgrace to the men,
bers present. and n disgrace to the

spirit, it is not difficult, for there is alb
solutely nothing of the '%nouveau richie"
about the man. But it is impossible to
record all he tells you. His ups and
down have been as the sands of the sea.
TO him life seems to hold no rest from
the perpetual unquiet of the betting ring
and the feverish excitement of the gam
bier. Beneath the native shyness and
reticence of the man this spirit crops out
and he is aware of it himself.
II like to GAMBLE is a phrase he uses
repeatedly, as if seeking some self-justi-
1ication.
A friend says Of him: "He seems to wish
to impress on one hat he must bet, that
1t is second nature to him, and that he is
to be no more blamed for rlsking his mon
ey than he is for eating. But-and there
cant be too big a B to this but'-there is
a huge difference between him n the
ordinary bookmaker and betting man. He
believes IN the honesty of racing. He does
not see fraud in every race, and this is
the foundation of his sDeculations. He
backs horses on his own opinion. An
owner may-frequently does-tell him
that his horse is not fit. If Riley Gran
nan thinks that horse can win he backs
him. in spite of what the owner or train
er has said"
Details might begiven of many individ-
ual bets which Riley Grammar has made.
He lost SO, eco on Cleaning one day and
$1,000 on a steerlechase the same day.
Pepper brought $4,000 into his Golfers;
the Commoner won him $40, 600. He also
won him SAC, 600 the day following.
An authority on the track says: HE
has stood to win $100, 900 on a days rae
ing. has actually come out 4 ,0OU ahead
after losing $23, 900 in one rae, and near
ly $4,000 IN another. In a few words, he
looks Upon a bet of 1900 as a mere eX-
preston of his opinion that a horse has
a good chance. He very seldom bets on
horses at odds on, and says that his loss
of $40, 900 on a horse last week was the

My wife insisted that Elvira should have

my suggestion that the body be disposed

to take Elvira out in the country the next

Washington Star: "There are people
in this town who will steal anything"
said a thin man with a string tie, as he
rolled a fresh cigarette and asked a friend
for a light. Yes, sir, they will take the
buttons off your coat if you don't watch
'em. l was touched twice during the
peace Jubilee, and last winter some one
copied out my OvercOat at a restaurant
while l was getting lunch.
But it's all right. l got ever the other
day in a small way, and I've been laugh
ing ever since. We had an old cat over
in our fiat which had been a pet Of my
wlfe's ever since we Were married. Elvira,
that's the cats name, not my wife's,
was so old she had lost nearly all her
teeth, and we had to feed her on milk
and soft stuff. This got tiresome, be-
cause l had TO do the feeding, and l de-
cided that Elvira was about due to die.
"One night l sneaked home a bottle of
chlOroform, and after my wife went out
to one of the clubs or something she be-
longs to, I wet a sponge with the chlorO-
form and went out into the kitchen look
ing for Elvira. There she was, curled
up on a chair, and before she knew what
was going on l had her fixed Didn't hurt
her, you know, and she really was a bur-
den to herself.
