II has been announced at Santa Fo

the American Beet Sugar company had
contracted for the establishment of q
sugar beet plant at Rocky Ford, Colo,
in the Arkansas valley. The plant
will be next to the largest in tho
world, and will have a capacity great
or than the combined capacities Of tho
plants in Nebraska. IL will cost about
81, 800, 900, and will have an annual
capacity of $4,000 tons Of refined sugar,
using 100. 900 tons OF beets. Farmers
in the valley adjacent to Rocky Ford
have arranged to plant $4,000 acres of
bccts the coming season, from which
IL is expected that u profit of $40 m
acre will be derived. The land is al
most in the heart of what n few years
ago appeared on the map as the Great
American Desert" Irrigation has made
IL one of the most fertile places in hat
section of the west. IL is said that the
sugar beet plant will distribute omc

Ills Classic Mansion in Lafayette Square, Facing
the Executive Mansion.

Senator Depew's advent in WASH
ington society and Washington politi-
cal life is being observed with more
than the usual interest attaching to
the coming to Washington of a new
senator. The senator's fame as a
teller of pat and amusing stories has
set the senators to wondering whether
he will spring any of them in the Sc
date senate, while his generosity as
an entertainer is likely to make him
a prominent figure in the social life OF
the capital.
The junior senator from New York
has leased the famous COrCoran
sion, occupied at different times by
Daniel Webster, the French minister
and Senator Brice, the scene of many
gorgeous functions.
The new senator's probable course in
the senate is a subject Of speculation.
In any event Depew's acquaintance in
Washington are anticipating some de-
lightful bits of his unending fund of
wit and humof this winter.
Here are some OF the best Of the
Depew stories as istold by the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post:
Here is a typical Depew story, and
its author is particularly fond of this
offspring, born as it was under sunny
skies and rehabilitated to point a NOR

litical speeches:

GET TIRED USING CANDLES
Municipal Omcers Of st. Louis VIII
Have Better Lights.

Despite the failure OF the municipal
assembly to provide light for the city
institutions, the st. Louis circuit court
rooms and private offices and jury
rooms attached to them will have cleo
trio lights. Each OF the circuit judges
closed n separate contract with the
Missouri Edison company for lights in
their respective rooms and will certify
their accounts to the auditor. Owing
TO the failure of the municipal assem-
bly, to make n temporary contract to
cover the time from January !, when
the old contract lapsed, until April 30,
when the new contract will go into
effect, the city institutions, alleys and
parks have been dark since the first Of
the year.

they do not putrefy, soften or smell
