According to the Youths Compan-
ion it will soon be necessary to deal
with the automobile question in this
country to make sure that the man
who walks and the man who rides
shall each get his rights" We have
been substituting rubber for steel in
tires, even in horseshoes, and replac-
ing stone pavements with asphalt
that Is, endeavoring to make vehicles
run without noise. Since bicycles and
automobiles are swift as well as ST.
lent, every day develops new dangers
to be guarded against in the streets.
The simple old rule of the road was.
give pedestrians the right of way and
turn to the right The new rule must
cover more ground than the old. Still
the pedestrians, who will always be in
the majority, must have the right OF
way. But it may reasonably be re-
quired that they shall keep their eyes
open, not loiter on crossings, and never
invade bicycle paths or driveways.
As for riders and drivers, it should not
be permitted to propel vehicles at such
a speed that they cannot be quickly
checked, turned or stopped. Bells or
whistles should be attached to rubber
tired vehicles, and at night such vehi-
cles should display lights, visible be-
hind and before-sensible lights, more
over, not so brilliant that they blind
the rider and all who meet him.

In accordance with the suggestion
of Lord Salisbury that every man
should have chance to learn to
handle rifle within reach of his own
cottage" Mr.. L. Brunton, writing IN
Nature, suggests the introduction OF
rife practice in the schools. His plan
Is to have the children use illuminate
of mercury caps in ordinary rifles, and
to aim this ut lighted candle. The
current of the air is sufficient to ex-
tinguish the light If the aim is correct.
After the youngsters become sufti-
GENTLY proficient in craftsmanship TO
extinguish the candle by explosion of
the blank cartridge they are to be al
lowed to use ball cartridges. Thus it Is
planned by the ministry and educators
of England to have an enormous
number OF men at hand who can shoot
accurately and repel any invasion
which the British Isles might be
Threatened with.

Back From the KIondike.

Patrick and William Sullivan, old time
Mesa county boys, returned from Daw-
son City yesterday morning and have
been greeting their numerous friends
and relating their experiences in the
frozen north.
William Sullivan has been in that
country for the past three years, while
his brother Patrick only went there last
February
In conversation with Patrick he in
formed reporter of The Sentinel this
morning that Dawson was good town
and at present is about as large as Grand
Junction In most any kind Of business
a person goes into in that city, money
can be made, that there is plenty of work
there and that it is fairly good country
to be in. He said he liked it and
thought that he would return In the
spring. His brother is going back as he
has some good mining property there
and has done we'll during his three years
stay.
1t is no hard task now to mako the
trip compared to what it was three years
ago. Mr.. Sullivan says that for $3.50
one could go there in good shape.
He said that while Dawson City was
fully forty miles from the mining dis
trict yet it was typical mining camp
and all kinds of business is carried on
there the same as in the mining camps
in Colorado.

Beet Sugar.

A report has just been issued from the
agricultural department at Washington,
on the results thus far obtained from the
experiment Of producing beet sugar in
this country.
California was the first state to make
the trial. 1t now has eight factories,
with a capacity of nearly 5000 tons OF
BEN daily.
The total number of factories in oper-
alton last year WAS thirty; their capacity
is 19, 100 tons of beets. Nine of them
are in Michigan. where bounty Of one
cent pound was offered on refined sug.
ar by law passed in 1897.
Bounties are paid ip New York. Mimi
esota, South Dakota and Washington,
and beginning has been made in each
of these states in raising sugar beets and
extracting and refining sugar.
Iowa exempts beet sugar factories
from taxation for ten years and two
companies have been organized there.
There are six factories under construc-
ton, two of them in Colorado and one in
Utah, where two establishments are al
ready aourishing, one in Ohio, one in
New York and one in Michigan.
The consumption of sugar in 1899 was
2,O94 4,6lO tons, OF which 100, 400 tons was
domestic cane sugar and 79,368 tons do
mestic beet sugar.
Fully three fourths Of our supply was
foreign cane sugar, mostly refined in this
country.
The result of the experiment shows
that many areas, where the soil and eli
mate are adapted to its cultivation and
the manufacture of sugar from it are
profitable industries and destined to in
crease.
The main point il to get the right con-
ditions, and in that the very best region
in the whole country is the interior basin
between the Sierras and the Rockies,
from the fact that the heavy rains about
harvest time cause the quality Of the
beets to deteriorate.
Here where irrigation is necessary the
growth can be crowded 10 the limit; then
the water is turned off and the beets are
held, 80 to speak. in suspension at their
best state until such time when they
can be harvested and their sugar ex-
pressed. For that matter the man who
has good land in the desert and can get
the necessary water for irrigation has
got the safest and the best farm in the
world.
