have been pondering over the prob

the thing for musical women, for it is

ear is finer than mans, although one
musician of my acquaintance takes ex-
ception to the statement, says writ

women than men sing OF the key and
play out OF tune. Piano tuning is not
hard work-that is, 1t does not require
any amount of physical exertion. 1t
does require correct ear, a knowl-

FIRST COLORADO SUGAR
Is SOLD IN DENVER.

Is SOLD IN DENVER.
The f1rst beet sugar manufactured in
Colorado reached Denver from Grand
Junction yesterday morning and was
cold before night. There were 500 sacks
Of the nne white product the surprising
sweetness Of which promises to make
Colorado as famous as the gold and sill
YER Of her mining camps. The sacks
each contained 100 pounds OF sugar aud
were consigned to the c. s. Morey Mer-
camille company. This is the first Of
several carloads purchased by the COM
pany.
AS soon as the news of the arrival Of
the Colorado sugar spread
among the grocers and retail dealele,
the Morey wholesale store was crowded
with purchasers and IN few hours
every sack of the home product had
been sold. The eagerness with which
local merchants purchased the Grand
Junction sugar in preference to that
from California and other states indi-
Gates a bright future for the industry in
this state.
The estimated value of the sugar con-
sumed in Colorado every year is 81 $780,,
600 and this sum may be kept in the
state henceforth. The factory which
began manufacturing beet sugar at
Grand Junction = few days ago is one Of
the best In the world. 1t was erected
at cost of $5OOOOO. When running at
its full capacity it is estimated that 1000
men will be required to work in the beet
fields upon which the factory will de-
pend for it's supply.
About 1000 acres OF land will be util-
ized and the factory will be kept run
ming continually to supply the orders
which are now flooding IN upon it.
Amoog samples from other states the
Colorado product WAS distinguished by
its superior fineness, whiteness and
sweetness.-Den er Republican.
