BIG SUGAR PLANT.
1t is Located in the Heart of the
Arkansas Valley.

CHICAGO, January At was an
nounced today at the Santa Fe head
quarters that the American Beet Sugar
Company had contracted for the estab.
lishment of a sugar-beet plant at Rocky
Ford, Col, in the Arkansas valley. The
plant will be next to the largest in the
world and will have a capacity greater
than the combined plants in Nebraska
1t will cost about 100000, and will
have an annual capacity of 1880 tons
of refined sugar, using 100000 tons OF
beets. Farmers in the valley adjacent
to Rocky Ford have arranged to plant
$4,000 acres of beets the coming season,
from which it is expected profit of $40
an acre will be realized.
The land is almost in the heart OF
what a few years ago appeared on the
map as the Great American desert. IT.
rigation has made it one of the most
fertile places in that section of the
West

morning called into consultation Sur
gcpn General Wy man OF the Marine

the Marine Hospital Service The re-
port received by both the State Depart
ment and Surgeon General Wyman
from Honolulu confirms the Associated
Press dispatch relative to the existence
of the disease. 1t happens, fortunately,
that the Marine Hospital Service has
already two quarantine plants in the
Philippines, while two of its surgeons
are now on their way to Manila. SO that
little delay will be encountered in be-
ginning to draw n rigid quarantine line
in the islands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-Diplomats
are much interested in the seizure by

is not regarded as serious. Said an at
