Irrigate the Land.

Orville Jones, who is farming
about two miles west of the Ere
mont Oil d Gas company's water
well on the Hill pasture, says that
if it was on his land it would be
worth thousands of dollars.
The true value of these big
bodies of artesian water is almost
inestimable for agricultural pur-
poses and if few more were op-
ened up it would be the means of
putting the valley upon fine ag-
ricultural basis. The Colorado
Beet Sugar company is anxious to
interest someone in this vicinity
to plant an acreage to sugar beets
for its factory at Rocky Ford, and
it is said that the soil in the vicin-
ity of the Hill pasture is excellent
for beet growing and that the
uber would flourish 1t would
not be bad idea to grow sugar
beets here as the demand for
them is growing
The sugar beet industry in Colo
RADIO lis but eighteen months old, F,
but it has assumed enormous pro-
portions already With 50 100000
already invested in sugar factories
in the valley and another factory
in contemplation at cost of
81 100000, rates the industry as
one of the most important.
The factory at Rocky Ford has
begun the great task of grinding
up the 1000 acres of beets tribu-
tary to it, and they are being
rushed through the mill at the
rate of 1000 tons per day, two
train loads being required daily to
feed its enormous capacity AT
Sugar City the yield in many
places averages from 500 to Sl25
per acre The price is $3.50 per
ton on the track.
At Canon City there are hun
dreds of acres of ground set to
fruit and this year the yield was
something enormous and a neat
little sum was netted by the own
ers, Why not put this section of
the valley on as good basis =?

STEAMER MAY
HAVE FOUNDERED
Perhaps Another Marine Disaster
on the North Pacific
Ocean.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Feb. %.
An account of what may turn out to
be another marine disaster and mys-
teriods disappearance of big steam
ship while crossing the Pacific is given
by Captain Morris of the transport
Port Albert, which arrived from quar-
antine today. Captain Morris says
that while in mid-ocean his mate sight
ed two-masted steamship abeam of
the Port Albert, about two miles dis
tant. The weather was hazy but it
could be, seen that the steamer was in
trough of the sea. and laboring fear
fully. The sea was running high at the
time and it was all that could be done
to keep the Port Albert head-on. The
mate went below to get his glasses SC
he could see the vessel, but when he
returned it set in thick. In less thar
half an hour the weather cleared but
no vessel could be seen. Both steam
ers We're travelling in the same direc-
ton and Captain Morris expresses the
opinion that the unfortunate vesse
may have foundered. The Port Albert
expects to be rechartered by the Gov.
eminent to load animals at Portland
Ore, for the Philippines.

OCEANIC STOCK
TOOK BIG DROP
sIumped $40 Share in Twenty.
Four Hours in San Francisco
Market.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. PA hard
shock was given to the investment
world yesterday by the announcement
that the board of directors of the
Oceanic Company had levied an assess
ment of $40 a share on it's capital stock,
payable at once and delinquent in
sixty days. This action mad been
taken on the day previous, and those
who were informed of it took advan-
tage of their knowledge to unload their
holdings at S95 and over, While the, far
greater number of shareholders who
desired to sell We're forced yesterday
to accept prices which. ran as low as
$40. On Monday Oceanic stock was S99
bid and SOL asked, so that the decline
| in tWenty-four hours was $50 share,
equivalent to $5o0,000 on the total capt.
| tai of the company. The effect was felt
| on almost the entire list Of securities
| listed on the Stock and Bond Ex-
! change, but. apart from the Oceanic,
is likely to be only temporary in char
| acter.
! In the absence of John d. Spreckels,
president of the Oceanic Steamship
! Company, who departed some days ago
on the steamer Ventura Tor sydney,
his brother, Adolph Spreckels, was
questioned as to the cause for the levy
| ing of the assessment. He gave sew
| eral reasons. The first was the delay
| of the Cramps in delivering the three
| new steamers, thereby preventing the
earnings anticipated from that source.
Then the expense of fitting out and
bringing the vessels to San Francisco
had been greater than had been ex-
pected. Another reason was the taking
I'D of 500, 600 of the bonds.tot the COM
pany in advance of its,tbeins able to
place any of the steamers on the route.
Still another cause was the expense
of sE35,000 for work on the. Alameda
MarinoSa and finally the deDletlOr
of the reserve fund to d comparative
ly small sum.
In reply to criticism which had
been made at the company's paying
out $4,000 in dividends last year whel
it's earnings for the twelve month:
! We're only $4,000, A. B. Spreckels sale
that the money for the difference hat
been taken from the earnings of tht
previous year. He was unable. TO say
r what the earnings of the new an(
larger steamers would be, but antici
pated that they would be larger thai
those of the older vessels. and express
ed the opinion that the payment o
