Lamar Has Decided Have Beet Sugar Factory and the
Business Men and Farmers Are Going After 1t in
True Lamar Style An Enthusiastic and
Harmonious Meeting Raises Guar
antee of $3.50 Acres Of Beets

1t being evident that capitalists
are ready to build beet sugar factor
les wherever the necessary acreage
of beets can be grown, the citizens of
Lamar have decided to go after a
factory in the old Lamar way that al
ways wins. A meeting was called at
the club room on last Friday night,
merely for the purpose of discussing
the matter, but the spirit Of the citi-
zens became so evident that it was
soon turned into a regular organiza
tion and in just one hour over 1000
acres of beets were subscribed.
The club room was comfortably
filled with business men and farmers
although only few hours notice
had been given of the proposed
meeting. A. E. Bent was elected
chairman and G. b. Ihoman, secre-
tary. These officers and number
of other citizens were called on and
made short talks giving their views
on the subject and there was such II
unanimity of feeling and enthusiasm
displayed, that it was soon evident
that the time was already at hand
when Lamar could secure factory
and the citizens were just as ready
as the time was opportune.
1t was made very evident in the
course of the meeting that Lamar
has the largest acreage of irrigated
land tributary to it of any town in
the state of Colorado. The bitches
which water this land also have the
largest amount of appropriated water
priorities to be found at any point
along the Arkansas valley, and it WAS
only the lack of settlors to farm these
lands that prevented Lamar from
securing the factory which went to
Rocky Ford. This deficiency has
been largely made up now, and more
farmers are coming in every week.
The Inducements which Lamar
now has 10 offer sugar factory are
greater than any other town in the
state. They will not be overlooked

by the many capitalists who are be-
coming Interested IN the sugar indus
try, and now that our citizens have
got together and will raise the nee.
essary guarantee of an acreage Of
beets to supply factory there will
be no question but that a factory can
be secured.
The scene in the club room after
the chairman called for subscriptions
and announced that he would be-
willing to head the list was inspiring
and reminded one of the old days
when Lamar always got anything
she went after. There was only a
few minutes of hesitation and then
amidst applause one after another Of
the business men went up and signed
until the subscriptions soon made up
list of 1000 acres which were se-
cured in just one hour from the time
the first name went down, and by
Saturday afternoon the list had been
swelled to $3.50 acres. This is IN ad-
dition to the large acreage which the
factory already has here amounting
to about 1000 acres, and this with
the promises already secured make

get factory at Lamar.
To carry on the good work sub
scription list was started at the meet
ing to secure funds for the promo
ton of the canvassing, and in just a
few minutes over 500 was raised.
A canvassing committee was then
appointed consisting of W. @. Gould,
w. j. Johnston, M. Strain, L. F.
Blodgett, L. Writ Markham and A.
E. Bent. A second meeting was
called for Tuesday night, December
10.
The committee will call upon all
of our citizens to assist in this great
good work, and there should be no
hesitation or REFUSAL on the part Of
any one who has the good Of Lamar
or Prowers county at heart. A unit.
ed and determined effort at this time
will bring factory to Lamar, and
everyone should go in enthusiastic.

The first newspaper printed In the

Philadelphlsche Zeitung, published by
Benjamin Franklin In the year 1882.
The Pennsylvania Gazette for June
S-15, 1882, contains the following an
nouucemcnt:

In undertaking this new enterprise
Franklin expected to secure Il liberal
support from the German population of
the province. for whom he had been
doing considerable printing but In this
he was disappointed, and the publica-
ton OF the Zeitung was discontinued
after n few numbers had been issued.
The Zeitung was a small sheet of
four pages. 61a by o inches, the text
printed In double columns with Roman
type, and Mt the bottom of the fourth
page bore the imprint: philadelphia:

The first number was issued June 10,

oUARRIEs OF OLD EGYPT.
Where stone For Pyramids of th'
Desert Was Procured.

Where stone For Pyramids of the
Desert Was Procured.
On the way to Phlln and the head of
the cataract. n short distance south or
Assouan, we come upon the ancient
quarries which supplied the granite
for the columns, statues and obelisks
throughout Egypt for many centuries.
An obellsk which we saw lies In its
native bed. 1t Is % feet In length, aud
three sides have been carefully cut,
but for some unknown reason II was
never separated entirely from the par
ent rock. The surface bears the tool
marks OF the workmen. The grooves
IN It show that 1t was to have been re-
duced Mt the Sides. 1t was supposed
that the stone was split from Its bed
by drilling holes In the rock and filling
them with wooden wedges. which were
afterward saturated with water. the
swelling wood furnishing the power.
From illustrations In the temples 1t Is
clear that these great monuments were
hoatcd down the river on tlatbonts and
RATS and then carried inland by artl-
fetal canals or dragged overland 10y
thousands of slaves. In one of the
tombs Mt Benz Hassan is n picture IL
Illustrating the process The great stone
is loaded upon huge sled drawn by II
multitude of workmen. One man Is en-
gagged In pouring water upon the run,
ners to prevent friction; another stands
Mt the left of the statue and beats time,
that the men may work In unison,
while overseers, provided with whips,
urge the laborcrs to their task. What
king desired to extricate this block
from the quarry, why It was left here,
what II was to commemorate, we can
never know. The riddle of the sphinx
Is solved, hut the riddle OF the ohclisk
In the quarry will no doubt remain
with us er.-Chautauquan.
