Building Up tho v.lley.

The following is q portion OF the
annual report Of Superintendent
Chew, of this water division:
"Officers of the American Beet
Sugar company and the National
Beet Sugar company have expressed
themselves as mo . than pleased
with the result of the past years ct
forts in the Arkansas valley, and it
is freely prophesied by students OF
beet culture that the Arkansas val
ley in Colorado will be the great
sugar producing district ofthe Unit
ed States. The effect of the build
ing of these sugar factories has not
been simply to increase the popula'
ton of the valley immediately ad-
jacent to the factories, they have
dave done far more than to double
the population at Rocky Ford, and
build within year the town OF
Sugar City, with its population OF
more than a thousand people. The
effect of these factories extend up
the Arkansas river to Pueblo, and
down the river to the state line, and
these factories may draw their sup
ply Of beets from this entire area.
The railroad companies of the val
ley, realizing the advantages to the
valley brought by such improve
ments, have made such rates for
transportation that beets may be
protitably raised and shipped to
these factory by rail, from all points
of the valley having railroad connec-
tions.
"Beet culture means dense pop
ulation, and around each nucleus OF
beet raisers, small towns spring up
and new industries develop. Beet
raising in the valley has stimulated
the growth OF many towns IN the
district, including besides Rocky
Ford and Sugar City, at which the
factories are located, the towns OF
La Junta, Las Animss, Lamar, and
Holly, to the east Of the factory, and
the towns Of OrdwaY, Olney, Man
zanola, Fowler, Nepeeta, Avondale
and Pueblo to the west Of the fac
tories.
sit is very fortunate in connec-
ton with the developement OF this
industry in the Arkansas valley that
the relations between the growers OF
beets and the managers Of the fac
tories have been SO satisfactory.
There is no instance where complaint
has been entered by the beet growers
against the analyses Of beets made
by the factories"

One Of the finest acts Of courtesy in
Kansas political history was perform
ed by J. B. Burton Friday toward the
city Of Lesvenworth, Senator Bakers
home. That city has been intensely
loyal to Baker but Mr.. Burton has
won its friendship. The Times tells
how:
when Senator Baker decided to
withdraw he sent for Mr.. Burton and
notified him Of this fact before max.
ing the announcement public. In do.
ing this Senator Baker indicated that
he expected Mr.. Burton to have any
advantage that might result from the
withdrawal and that bis election
would naturally follow. Mr.. Burton
appreciated this, and has since ex-
pressed himself IS friend Of Leaven-
worth and offered to do all he could
to aid the city and Its institutions.
The exact words OF Mr.. Burton's mes
ssge to our people through the
Times are:
" Please convey my personal as
surance to the people Of Leavenworth
that, d lam able, ] shall devote the
same care and attention to the up
building Of your government institu-
lions ss has Senator Baker. 1t shall
be my aim to try and equal the good
work be has done.
"Lesvenworth county will be glad
to look on Mr.. Burton as a friend,
and II would seem proper for their
representatives to join in the move
ment to make Mr.. Burton's nomina.
ton unanimous in the Republican
caucus tomorrow night Now that
the contest is settled Leavenworth
should show proper friendship for
Mr.. Burton and treat him with fair
ness and courtesy.
ut is therefore the plain duty Of
Senator Wuliekuhler and Representa-.
;tives Humid, Markart and Cav to ex-
press practically Leavenworth's ap-
probation Of Mr.. Burton's magnani-
nous pledge to the people Of Leaven.

their democratic friends from within
the democratic citadel. They can, in

and at elections do their part to

Baker and Burton Compared.

In the course Of two editorials on
"Why Burton Won" and "Why
Baker Failed" Congressman Scott,
who has always been Baker support.
or, says:
HE who seeks one thing In life and hut one,
May hope TO achieve II ere life Is done"
THAT Is chiefly the reason why J.
X. Burton is to be United States sen.
ator for KansaF, But in following
bis purpose has shown as much skill
as tenacity. First, he has been loyal
to his party. Through all the storm
and stress Of the Populist era he
never wavered. He never yielded
one jot or little to the absurditles and
vagaries OF Populism y And
second, he has recognized that in tho
end 1t was the people who made
United States senators, and so for ten
years his appeal has been to them. '
= y And third, he is past master
in the art Of persuasion. No man
ever lived in Kansas with the prob
able exception Of Jim Lane who could
argue his own case so skiliully." And
OF Baker Mr.. Scott says: Senator
Baker has failed Of reelection to the
United States senate because he lacks
nearly oil the elements Of political
leadership. He failed to do all the
things that he ought to have done.
simply because 1t Is not in his nature
to do them. And SO 1t came to pass
that when his hour was come and he
sought to be returned to the great
Office he has held for six years, he had
no close, genuine friends to work fol
him and there was no enthusiasm to
help him. His supporters were Of
two classes only, first those who had
received or whose close friends had
received, appointments from him,
and second, those who didn't like
Burton. Such support was inevitably
lukswarm and soon fell away. Aud
above all, the people, the rank and
Gle Of the party, were not interested
In him."

To Unite Western Counties.

After long years in which there has
been decrease Of population almost
amounting to an exodus in some In.
stances, there is on foot movement
for consolidating some OF the
counties in the western part Of this
state, and saving thereby a great
part Of the expense Of government.
There are in western Kansas coun.
ties with only two and three hundred
residents, each with a full corps Of
county officials and such expenses as
are incidental to the county's man.
agement. They have a large area, but
are short on votes. One senatorial
district Including counties in the
southwest part Of the state, has an
area as large as a congressional dis
trict in the southeast section, and as
large as some eastern states.
tis proposed by bill being pre-.
pared by Senator Tapp to combine
eighteen Of these counties into five.
The counties WELD as much power
and political influence in the legisla-
ture as counties with ten times the
wealth and population in other parts
Of the state. The chief argument for
their consolidation is, however, the
pooling Of their bonded debt and the
saving Of expense Of having only one
set Of county officers, thus giving
them . chance to pay out on their In
debtedness. 1t is only by a reduction
Of expenses in some wav that these
counties can ever hope to pay off the
bonds that they brought on them.
selves in the boom days. As 1t is,
the eastern owner Of lands pays most
Of the bills, because there are lew
owners Of realty locally to tax.
The cattlemen are taking the land
rapidly, but they are yet using much
Of it without purchasing it, and &c
are not responsible for the taxes. The
bonds are running on long time and
are usually for amounts that are ID
excess Of the limit allowed by law,
owing to the decrease in values thai
has come with the decadence Of pop.
