TO PLANT
SUGAR BEETS

William Winterhalter of Rock y
Ford and c. b. Schmidt of Pueblo
are here in the interests of the
Rocky Ford sugar factory, in
which plant they are interested
They are here for the purpose of
trying to induce our rauchmen to
plant sugar beets on their lands
At this time the beet crop is ex-
hausted and it is the custom of the
management of the plant to take
in the surrounding country imme-
diately after the fall crop is used

coming spring, After the patch

receives check for the amount
due him.
just how successful the visitors
have been cannot be learned, but
they are evidently determined to
induce the farmers in this vicinity
to plant their ground to sugar beets
this spring.
At Canon City considerable in
terest in the sugar beet industry
has been aroused, and the com
pany hopes that next year Canon
farmers will have considera BILE
acreage. A meeting will be helc
at the court house week from
next Saturday, at which time I
beet expert will be present to ex.
plain the method of producing the
best beets possible
The Rocky Ford company has
already contracted for 10000 acres
for next year, but they would be
glad to get from 100 to $50 acres
in the vicinity of Florence.
Beet raising is paying propo.
sition, no crop which a farmer
raises yielding better results The
average price paid for the Rocky
Ford beets is S466S per ton, and
last year the land at Rocky Ford
yielded beets to the value of from
SIS to Sl2S an acre.

ect treaty whick comedies the substance Of
all that it contended for last year, it would
stand in sinister light before the nation
and the world. In this Canal question there
is duty to other nations, to the colonies,
and 10 the American people to open this
gateway at the earliest possible moment to
the commerce and navigation Of the world,
and congressional delay and dispute over
the niceties Of the matter, and the form it
should take would call down q mean q
rebuke from all the nations of the world.
The immediate closing OF all negotiations
would follow, and the Canal would be as faI
off as it was hundred years ago. 1t is
hard to believe that Congress will stand in
the way OF the project, and it is hoped that
the nations will be given another example
of American sound judgment and good gov.
ermental policy in the proper transaction o.
Of this canal business.

Great Disappointment Felt At

Especial Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil|
New York, Oct. 21st.-Telegrams
received from New Orleans by the
leading newspapers and merchants
OF this City state that the cotton
.rop this year has been a failure.
The market at New Orleans is at a
Fstandstill. and it is feared in that
city that much suffering will result
this winter from the unusual shortage.
Many merchants i'll New York
have lost much money on the failure
Of the crop, and many large New
England mills have been compelled
to close down on account OF the
scarcity Of the supply. At the New
York Cotton Exchange there has
been absolutely no movement in the
market or prices and the entire cot
ton community is at a stand still
over the serious situation. 1t is
feared here that England will be
seriously affected by the cotton fai-
lure.

pool, the cotton center of Great
Britain and Europe states that the
news of the failure of the American
cot on crop this year has bsen rec
eiyed in Liverpool with much alarm.
That city being the center of the
cotton fabric industry of Great
Britain, it is thought here that the
shertness of the crop will be more
severely felt at that place than any
where else in Europe.
The papers of that City comment
very gravely over the situation, and
fear that a severe financial loss
will result unless the latter reports
frou the United States should give
hope enough to re-assure the situat-
ion. Many Of the leading cotton
fabric mills have closed as the result
OF the bad crop.

The Tenement Evil
The BoLETIN MERcANTIL

The BOLETIN MERCANTIL.
Mr.. Editor:
/ have read with much pleasure your editor.
ial of the 18th inst on the subject of over
crowding in tenement houses; while cOnser-
vatiye and dignifed, it was able and strong.
If you will continue to press this subject
until you have obtained the beaving of the
city Fathers and their action on the line
suggested you aoill have accomplished one
of tie greatest benefits to the people Of San
Juan.
You suggest measures of this kind enacted
by the House of Delegates and Executive
Council. While such legislation isould be
good for the whole Island, it IS entirely
within the power and province of each city
Council to enact and enforce such measures
by ordinances.
Let the Board of Public Health take up
the subject and propose suitable rules and
regulations as to the number of persons who
may live IN given space, and prohibit
cooking and keeping of provisions especially
for sale to the public within that space.
Such measures would prove CREST bless
ing to the lower classes of people.
Iustead of being crowded into small space
and living In filth and dirt, that not only
dwarfs their own lives, but endangers the
public health and makes the city unfit to
live in, it would cause them to get gut into
the open air and have space for gardens and
truck farms and still be near enough fol
trade and such service as they now perform
in the city.
Such measures would also give an i'm
petus to capitalists to build small houses in
the suburbs to rent.
1t wonld he surprising to know the amount
of rent obtained from some of the houses
that are unfit to live in.
In Puerta de TERRA and other places are
old rancherons or "rooLeriesn that bring to
their owners as much as hundred dollars
and more month by renting rooms to
schole families, and yet are turned in by
their owners from One Hundred to Five
Hundred Dollars in value for taxation.
In most cases the owners of such proper.
ties are non residents who care more for the
large amount of money they get for such
property, than they do for the health Of then
tenants or the public.
Yes Mr.. Editor, you can do no better
work than to keep pressing this subject
until the public is aroused to its impor
tances
