What It Eats at Home and How il
Works.

The difference between the daily life
of q farm laborer in Porto Rico and Of
one in the United States is, according
10 Secretary Wilson, very marked. The
usual hours for work in the field for
Porto Rican farm hands are from a
N. to S p. m Most Of them begin in the
morning without having eaten any
thing. What is more remarkable, many
Of them eat very little until the close
OF the day. A few take early coffee.
At eleven O'Clock a hale hour is allow
ed for those who wish 20 eat break
fast, and can afford to do SO. This meal
consists Of rice and beans, bread and
cheese, or sweet potatoes and fish.
Where the plantation boards the hands,
as sometimes occurs in the sugar-har-
vesting seasons. the daily ration con-
sists Of one-haIf pound Of rice and one
fourth pound of beans, or three pounds
of sweet potatoes and half pound OF
dried fish, or one pound of bread and
laborers on the coffee estates rarely eat
meat except on Sundays.
The customary wages were thirty
cents day In gold. prior to the changes
in currency. In most cases the payment

value about one-thirT In Contemplating
time, the women were able to earn from
Is to 25 cents per day. Coffee planters
generally permit their Iaborers to eat
the bananas on the farm. and In GER
tain cases permit them, If they care "a
do so, 10 cultivate small tracts for veg
letabies; but generally the laborers have
complained that they had no time for
gardening. Work on the sugar planta-
lions continues four or FIVE months and
gives employment to both women and
children The Iaborers on sugar and
coffee plantations lead practically 2

ioften with no shelter, and the children
are nearly naked. There are no schools

lof the woods, to which they return
when the harvest Is done.

Another Valley Excursion.

The great success that attended
the first homeseekers' excursion to
the Arkansas Valley has prompted
the Santa Fe to aun ounce another
and similar excursion for Tuesday,
April 23. Low round trip tickets,
good for continuous passage going,
and with stopover privileges return
ing, will be sold with final limit of
ten days. The opportunity thus
presented to visit the Arkansas val.
ley at a nominal expense should be
improved by all who are looking for
homes in this state, or who may
from any cause desire change Of
location. Eastern land seekers who
have come to Denver as well known
center from which to make excur.
sions into the State, and examine
the attractions of various localities,
should avail themselves of the ad-
vantages of this trip without fail.
There are large bodies of land in
the lower Arkansas valley open to
settlement, all of which are under
ditch. The waiter supply is abund-
ant, the soil productive, the climate
excellent and inviting, railway con-
nections with markets unexcelled,
and educational and church and So
cial institutions we'll established and
numerous. No section of the state
offers better Inducements to home
seekers, none is growing more rapid
ly and none is more certain to return
rewards to intelligence, thrift and
industry. For general agriculture,
as we'll as for the growth of melons,
cantaloupes, sugar beets and the var
ious fruits, and also for lamb and
cattle feeding the Arkansas valley
affords unsurpassed advantages, and
the present is the time to sieze upon
them. Rocky Mountain News.

Sugar Beet Industry.

Sugar beets add another crop to
the list cultivated in Colorado and
the West, and is a distinct advant-
age. The weather or other condi-
tions that reduce profits in other
crops do not interfere with the beet
crop.
The sugar beet crop is an extern
sive one; vastly more of produce
and profit can be made from an acre
of beets than from any acre of corn,
oats, wheat or other common Colora-
do crops. A given acreage OF beets
will provide much more labor and
support many more people than the
same acreage in most any other CON-
mon crops. A poor man owning or
able to rent but few acres may find
profitable industry in growing
sugar beets, while with the same
means he could not grow other com :
mon farm crops TO make hvihg.
The higher cultivation of the land,
prompt work and exact methods re-
quired in growing beets, together
with the bigger profits, develop the
skill of the farmer and give him and
his sons higher education in farm
ing, more interest, appreciation and
confidence in their own agriculture 9.
The sugar beet crop has the ad-
vantage of permanent, enormous
and increasing demand for the pro-
duct. The United States imported
1904, ,7S4 tons of raw sugar in 19OO,
while the domestic (Louisians) sugar
only amounted to 1882 tons.
Sugar beets, requiring but small
acreage and with much of the work
adapted to young people, offers q
The Lamar register., 1901-04-17

special chance Tor the boys and girls
of the farm to make some money
and to get started in farming for
themselves if allowed to grow and
manage this crop as their own. Ex.
perience shows it to be one Of the
surest crops on the farm; the crop is
very hardy and survives great ex.
tremes of weather and untsvorable
conditions. sugar beets have the
advantage of certain sale at fixed
price, set year before the crop is
planted, and the money is paid on
delivery at the factory.
The thorough methods OF prepsra
tion of soil aud cultivation necessary
for beet growing gets and keeps the
ground cleaner aud in better condi
tod than under grain cultivation.
Some have advanced the idea that
the raising Of sugar beets iniures the
soil for the growing of corn, but a
series Of exhaustive tests in different
states resulted in showing that the
previous beet crop had not injured
the ground for corn, oats or beets
again. Dean Davenport Of the
Illinois Agricultural college annouuc
es that the carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen that forms the sugar is taken
from the atmosphere and not from
the soil, and theoretically, beet grow
ing should not lessen the fertility Of
the land if all the pulp is returned;
that the exact effect had not been de
term,ned by experiment. and that
taking a series of years into account
beets are not believed to be hard
crop on the soil.
To the laborer new fields Of EN-.
ployment are opened by the growing
of sugar beets-the beet field and
the factory. A larger acreage is
going to be planted in Colorado,
Utah, Oregon, Washington and Coli
fornia than ever bofore. In the Ar
kansas valley alone, where the
average will be nearly 10000, 5000
to 1000 hands will be needed to cult
vate. And so the income will be
noted everywhere else. Next year
the Loveland factory will be in oper
alton dnd also one in Denver.
The industry affords more bene-
fits locally than most any other one
can think OF. The raiser is here
and 80 is the help, and the product
being mostly sold outside, the money
from the sales also comes here and
is distributed. The bulk of the cap.
ital invested in the factories is hom !,

PORTO RICO IS A TERRITORY
And Therefore Entitled to all the Rights Enjoyed
by Other Territories
MOST IMPORTANT AND MOMENToUs DECISION
Made by the Supreme Court for Many Years Special
Session of Congress May be Necessary
BY scripps-McRse Press Association

Washington May 27.-The Supreme court today decided
in the nsular against the government In other
words the constitution follows the flag Justice Brown
read the decision,
This the first test case which grew out of the col
lection of duties at the port of New York imports by
DeLma from Porto Rico after the treaty of Paris
ratified Justices Shras White and McKennel dissented
The Court holds that territory acquired by the United
States not be domestic for purpose and foreign for
another.
By acceptance of the Treaty of Paris the Court
holds that Porto Rico becomes "a Territory not simply
"Terrory of the United States and enjoy all rights
SUCH 1t held that if Porto Rico any other pos
session. acquired by treaty with Spain could be considered
foreign any respect by Congress for short period
such of affairs might be continued indefinitely
which would be clearly illegal
The decision will make necessary special session of
Congress- under the treaty Spain permitted import
goods from her former possessions free of duty for
years. Now that Porto Rico is Territory such goods
could without duty into all other parts of the United
States
In the of Dooley, Goet and Crossman involving
similar questions Dcmas, the court decided against
the government In the Downes the important ruling
made that duties collected after the Porto Rico be,
effective legal In other words it sustans the
rights of congress to special tariff laws for Porto Rico
even though the Island is territory.

WATER RIGHTS QUESTION
Several Protests Filed and an Appeal
Taken Against the City to the
District Court.

There we're filled with the county
clerk Monday morning two protests
against the water rights condemnation
proceedings recently carried on by a
commission for the city. This COM
missions purpose was to secure to
lola full control of her water supply;
the old rights permitting the mainten-
ance of mill and dam, and the new
rights giving the city in addition full
ownership and possession of the back
water for its waterworks use. The
commissioners awarded damages in
the total sum of $l62.31, divided
among all persons owning land along
the river from the dam to the head OF
the back water. The commission re-
ported and it was supposed the affair
was ended
James W. Drake ana H. h. Torrance
are the men who filed protests and APP
peal from the commission to the dis
trict court. So far as the REGISTER
can learn they have no hostile designs
against the city but simply wish now
to retain rights which they believe be-
l)ng to them. They say the Kew con-
demnation, while it leaves them to pay
taxes to the middle of the river, makes
trespassers of them if they drive stock
to the water to drink And before the
matter goes too far they wish to ha We
their rights more clearly outlined.

mission went to good many people

Impressive Services in Honor of the

Any ceremonial intended to show

join with the old soldiers, so that
everything contributed to the success
of the occasion.
The exercises were conducted by
Rev. ID, b. Shuey, Post Commander,
and were participated in bylnearly all
the clergymen in the city. The ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. w. S.
Wilson, of Carlyle, and was appro-
pirate and admirable in every way.
God in American History" was the
theme of the speaker, and in very
striking way he showed how tie hand
of the Almighty had from the first led
and guarded this Nation, even as it
had led and guarded the Israelites of
old. The discourse closed with a
strong appeal to the old comrades to
enlist under the banner of the Cross
and thus win the last and greatest
triumph, the victory over death and
the grave. Mr.. Wilson is himself an
old soldier, and his discourse was lis
tened to with the utmost interest and
attention.
Music was furnished by members OF
the Methodist and Presbyteri an
choirs.
