Twenty-Five years constant use

is peculiar rough cough. II

Bee. Sugar oI,emm..

An application for the purchase
OF 600 acres of school land near
Rocky Ford for sugar beet pur-
poses will cause lively contest in
the state land Board when the
matter is considered.
The land is wanted by the Ok
nard Sugar Beet Company, a branch
Of the Greater American Sugar
Company.
Senator G. w. Swink, who is
looking after the company's inter-
ests before the land board, says it
e absolutely necessary for the

to before it can proceed to build
the contemplated sugar plant
The land board has an estab-
lished policy, adopted at the be-
ginning Of the administration. not
to sell any school lands except IN
small tracts, and then only in ex-
ceptional cases. In this case the
would-be purchasers claim the state
is not encouraging new Industries
unless it acts favorably on this aP-
plica,ion.
Senator Swink says that the
Greater American company IS
fighting the sugar trust, and that
the smaller corporation never ex-
poets to be absorbed by the trust.
Therein is the doubt.
Attorney General Campbell, the
populist member OF the board, is
opposed to the sale unless the COM
pany will agree to forfeit the land
should the trust obtain control of
the beet sugar plant. The COM
pany has not agreed to this propo-
sition yet.
Two members OF the board are
inclined to favor the sale on the
ground that this is an exceptional
case. The other two are against
going back on the old policy which
is opposed to selling school lands.
Therefore the action OF the board
on the application will be awaited
with much interest BY everybody
who is watching the handling of
the public domain.-Denver Post

''S~sst City Of the etslns." Thing
Of essvty and . Joy Forever.

Sugar City is the coming Otero
county metropolis. A plat OF the
"Sweet City of the Plains was
filed in the county clerks Office
this week, and it makes provisions
for a metropolis OF no mean pro-
portions. The streets run north
and south and the avenues east and
west, and to each has been given a
name from Sugar House Road"
on the south to "Otero street" on
the north. There is an "Ordway
avenue" an "Olney avenue" a
"koons avenue" and many Others
named in honor Of some person or
locality known to fame as land
mark OF this county. The incor-
poration reserves the right to con-
struct water mains and sewers,
erect poles for electric lights and
street railways along the main
thoroughfares, but otherwise the
streets and avenues are dedicated
to the use OF the public forever
without money and without price.
OF course the metropolis as yet
IS all on paper, and in chrysalis
state, but in few short years by 8
process OF evolution through which
all communities pass, it will attain
the proportions designed by the in
corporators, and take its place in
the world as the "Sweet CITY of
the Plains" a thing OF beauty and
a Joy forever.
While the Sweet City OF the
Plains" is still in its chrysalis state
the cowboys over in the north end
OF the county are having all kinds
OF sport on the townsite. They
had round up over there this
week and took IN the town virtually
taking possession OF the whole
works-water works, electric light
works and all They rode down
New York avenue" in a body and
the first warwhoop they let loose
caused the entire police force to
hunt their holes. They rounded
up their cattle on Ordway avenue
and then had them chasse down
Otero street to Rooms avenue, and
there wasn't city official in sight
to say them nay. The cowboys
owned the town for whole day,
and say that for an ''easy game"
the Otero county metropolis takes
the whole bakery.
