The Santa Fe has commenced
work on the extensive improve
ments in the local yards, which
have been in contemplation for
several months past. The groun d
has been staked OF for the location
of the new freight house on the
company property north Of the ST.
Charles hotel, and the rails and
ties for several new sidetracks in
that vicinity are already on the
ground. About ave miles Of new
sidetracks will be constructed in
the course Of the next month OF two.
The old freight house will be re-
moved to the new site and 70
modelled, and shout 7So feet Uf

in deciding upon = location. The
average yield Of sugar beets to the
acse 10 about twenty tons. and the
company will pay 81 per ton de-
livered 1t the factory for all thst
can be raised, one .hslf of the pdlp
to be returned to the grower for
feeding purposes if he SO desires.
In experiments, conducted under
the supervision OF the agricultural
college in Otero county last year,
the yield, in some instances,
was over forty-five tons to the
acre, or double the usual average.
Growers would realize very hand
some returns from the culture Of
sugar beets, and would not have to
contend with the uncertainties they
do in marketing cantaloupes.
There is not a town in the Ar
kansas Valley that can offer induce
menrs for the location Of this en-
terprise equal to thoSc that can be
presented by La Junta, il the citi-
zens get hustle on themselves
and 60 after il as though they
meant business. There is not a
town in the valley that has as great
a number OF acres Of agricultural
land tributary to it as La unta.
There are 40, 900 acres in the Hol-
brook country, and 40, 900 in the
Fairmont country, all under good
bitches, 10, 900 acres along the
La Junta and Lamar canal, and
1000 acres under the Otero ditch
that are all directly tributary to La
Junta and are all well settled COM
munitics. There are millions OF
tons OF lime rock of the desired
quality available, and this is very
important item taken into consid
Grafton in deciding upon location.
La Junta is centrally located and
has shipping facilities superior to
any town in the valley. All tina,
is necessary to secure the location
of the sugar beet factory in this vi
cinity is for our leading citizens tc
act together and get an individual
and collective hustle on themselves.
La Junta is possessed OF advan-
tages superior to any point in the
valley, and all we need is to have
them presented in persuasive,
eloquent and convincing manne'
in order to secure the location ol
this much to be desired enterprise.

CHANGED CONDITIONS.

Our local merchants are in daily
receipt OF letters from wholesale
merchants notifying them OF an ad-
vance in prices, and saying that
should the rising market continue
they will be compelled to make
still further advances. A leading
shoe merchant OF ST. Louis says:
"Never before in the history OF the
shoe business have we found SO
much trouble in getting what we
buy, both in shoes and leather, as
we are having today. We are pay
ing S cents to 10 cents per pair
more for our shoes, cents per
pound more for our sole leather,
upper leather cents per foot over
what we paid a year ago, and
everything that goes into shoe,
such as Innings, nails, etc, cost
from 40 to 100 per cent more than
the same article cost year ago.
Rubbers advance S per cent soon.
We are having trouble today in
getting enough rubbers to fill or
ders." Rubbers that sold in La
Junta one year ago for 81. so are
wholesaling today at Sr.63.
These practical, every day. near
at-hand conditions eaectually re-
fute the assertions made in 1896 by
the efervescing boy orator of the
Platte, William Bryan, the apos-
tie Of hard luck and sixteen-to-
oneism. He then vehemently de-
clared that a continuation of the
gold standard would result in fall
ing prices for an indefinite period.

Valuations and that money alone
would be dear Today money is
the only cheap commodity in the
market, and there are men IN Otero
county who are loaning money at
khe present time at q cheaper rate
than was ever before known in the
history Of the state of Colorado.
Every prediction made by the
apostle Of silver has proven false,

A million dollar sugar beet fac
tory is to be located at some point
in the Arkansas Valley. This much
is positive fact. The definite 10.
cation Of the plant is to be decided
upon by November Ist, and the
town in the valley securing the
gIsatest number of pledges from
faimers to grow sugar beets will
be awarded the plum.
Henry T. Oxnard, of New York,
president OF the Oxnard Sugar Re-
fining Company, Moriz Weinrich,
a New York capitalist. and James
A. Davis, the industrial commits
sioner Of the Santa Fe, visited La
Iunta this week and held several
conferences with many OF our
prominent citizens. They are
looking over the lands in the en-
tire valley and will decide upon a
location and commence the work
of constructing the plant by No
vember Ist, so as to be ready for
business next year.
The Oxnard Sugar Refining Com
pany has capital stock of S7o,-
600, 600 and owns two factories in
California and two in Nebraska.
The company is not looking for
bonuses from communities in
which to locate their enterprise.
They desire, FIRST, to secure pledges
from farmers to raise not less than
8, 600 acres Of beetS the first year;
second, they desire to secure not
less than S. 900 acres of land in one
body on which to erect their plant
and grow sugar beets on their own
account; third, the plant must be
located at q point convenient to
: large body Of lime rock, one ton
Of which enters into the manufac-
kure Of every ten tons Of beets.

E. N. Berry reports that he
had delivered 6I7 crates up To-
Thursday noon, an average Of over
400 crates to the acre. He has re-
ceived the FIRST payment Of so cents
per crate aud a sufficient amount
in second payments TO bring his
average up to rs cents per crate ON
the total number delivered, and
400 crates still to hear from. He
is well pleased with the results
thus far and believes the growers
will average good prices for their
crop on the entire season.
c. L. Seeley is very much dis
satisfied with the results as OBJ
tanned through Nat Wetzel, and ON
Monday forfeited his membership
in the association by shipping
through Somers s. Son. OF Pitts
burg. Mr.. Seeley has shipped
900 crates through the associa-
ton, and by his action renders him.
self liable to fine OF $50, out Of
any monies credited to him on out
standing shipments. Mr.. Seeley
says he has received his SO cents
per crate on delivery. but as yet,
though twenty eight days have
elapsed since the season opened.
no returns have been made OF sales
in carload lots, and no second pay
ments have been made TO any OF
the growers. He went to Rocky
Ford Monday, and being unable
to secure any satisfaction at head
quarters as to the disposition OF
carload lots in which he was in
terested, he decided to withdraw
from the association, and will ship
during the balance of the season
through Somers & Son. OF Pitts
burg, the agents OF the koontz
party at Rocky Ford. The Somers
people handle the crop on COM
mission OF 10 per cent OF the net
amount realized from sales. They
claim to have realized as high as
u.7s per crate, but it is also re-
ported that they received but zS
cents per crate on one carload
shipment. Mr.. Seeley is the only
member who has shipped outside
OF the association thus far, and he
is likewise one OF the members who
most vigorously advocated sticking
together-early in the season be-
fore shipping commenced.
Mr.. Seeley's principal grievance
is that no returns have been re-
ceived OF sales in carload lots since
the season opened. twenty eight
days ago. Returns have been re-
ceived this week from three cars.
On the FIRST car the net amount re-
allied by the grower was 81. 50 per
crate. the second Si.35 per crate,
and the third si.33H per crate.
Mr.. Seeley may have had crates
in all OF these cars, but the $50
fine will reduce the amount he will
receive considerably.
Mr.. Seeley probably has just
grivance. for Mr. WetzeI, it seems,
has been unnecessarily slow in max
ing reports OF accounts sales. The
season opened August 24th, and
since that time nearly fifty carloads
have been shipped from La Junta
to eastern markets. Only four cars
have been reported thus far, and
Mr.. Wetzei promised that the re-
suit of the sales would be posted
on the bulletin board at each ship
ping as soon as they were received
from the east. AT a meeting OF
the board OF directors held Thurs
day night E. j. Lewis was ap-
pointed to go to Rocky Ford and
represent the local association al
Nat Wetzeps headquarters. He
will make daily reports to the local

later he was reappointed to the same
Office, but resigned in 1892 to become
the secretary for the admiralty. Much
to the surprise Of every one. when Sir
George Trevelyan broke down under
the hard work of the Office of chief Sec
retary for Ireland, early in the eighties,
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman was
chosen to succeed him. The prospect
promised to be an exceedingly ''easy"
one for the Irish members, who regard
ed IL as most solemn duty to make
the official life Of the chief secretary
Cor ireland as miserable as possible.
1t was while holding this Office that
Sir Henry was dubbed 1.-The Scotch
Sandbag" by the Irish members-a
namo which, apparently, was first ap-
piled by T. p. O'Connor. Point was
lent to the rather malicious designation
by the fact that Sir Henry, then as
now, had a somewhat robust physique
and rather quietistic expression. But
1t is interesting to note that the new
leader was not to be disturbed by the
attacks of the opposition. Instead he
was most cool under fire, absolutely
impervious to the would be CALLING re-
marks of the foes of the govern ment
and withal possessed of good natuEe.
In 1885 Sir Henry Campbell Bsnner-
man was appointed secretary of state
for war and again, in 1925, was ap-
pointed to the same office. While act
ing in this capacity he exhibited con.
siderable administrative ability, and
there appears to be no doubt that he

times necessary to draw 1t with instru-

revival meeting was in progress In the
church and he was urged by members
Of the congregation to lend his aid, for
he has much power as an exhorter. He
told them it would be impossible.
On that Sunday evening his beat led
by the door of the little church. He
was unable to resist the temptation to
enter. He tethered his horse and went
In. There for ten minutes he addressed
the flock, telling them that by the will
of God he believed it his duty to con-
tinue on his round A short prayer was
offered, and the policeman preacher left
the church for his post.
Probably this minor lapse from duty
would never have been brought to off,
cial attention had it not come to the
ears of a policeman. This officer
Roundsman Nesbitt had short time
before reported as absent from post and
lettering in a saloon. The policeman
made a charge against Nesbitt in re-
venge.

NEW MADE HEROES.
fHREE VOLUNTEER OFFICERS WHO
HAVE WON HoNoas At MANILA

How They Rose TO DO Brilliant
Things at short Notice and what
They Did Before They Went 20
Fighting FiIipinos.
The hour always finds its man. oc-
tasions have arisen around on the other
side Of the world which demanded
prompt action, hard fighting and sud.
den heroics. Americans in campaign
uniform have been right there, ready
to supply anything from quickness Of
the trigger finger to unprecedented
heroism. so we have a new crop Of
military heroes.
We have not heard the whole story
yet When il comes, we shall doubtless
have cause to be proud of the private
soldier, the man who stepped out of the
ranks to do something brilliant and
necessary. Already the cables have told
us some Of the fine deeds Of the officers,
but the private rarely gets into the ca
BILE message, where the rates are so high.
One Of these new made heroes is
Lieutenant Colonel Victor d. Duboce,
an officer in the First California infan-
try. He found his opportunity during
the fighting around Manila shortly after
the first engagement with the Filipinos
The native soldiers had been driven out
of the old Spanish intrenchments and a
couple Of hundred had taken possession
of an old church. The thick walls OF
bamboo and cement made an excellent
fortress, and for time the American
advance at this particular point was
checked. Behind their shelter the Fill.
pinos poured yoliey after volley into the
ranks of our men. If their aim had
been good there would have been many
sad homes in the west today; but il
was bad. Still. they were getting the
range.
Then Lieutenant Colonel Duboce took
q hand. Accompanied by handful Of
volunteers he dashed out of the line:
toward the church in the face of a storm
of bullets. Before the Filipinos realized
what was happening Lieutenant Colone
Duboce had made torch and hastily
