Gods " Work AIust BE Done.

A poor field negro with a wooden leg
hobbfed up to the collection table to lay
his offering upon it He took from a pock'
ct a handful of silver, and said, ''Tha:i
for me, massa;" from another pocket, an.
other handful, That's for my wife,
massa." and from still another pocket; yet
another handful, That's for my child
massa." The pastor demonstrated with
him for giving so much. 20 massa! said
he, Gods work must be done, and will
have a part in it."
Commenting on this incident, Ida Q.
Moulton says: "You and want part in
it. Heavens treasures will be given US
throughout the eternal ages for a brief life
Of self-dcnial and selfsacrifce here. out
of love for our dear Master. Take this
motto to your strong, true, loving heart,
fellow Christian: Gods work must be
done, and ! will have part in it.

Every enthusiast does it. But some
times they are justified. To call north
west Colorado the finest of cattle coun-
tries is saying great deal. Yet the
assertion. after deliberate considera-
ton, is made with due sense of re-
sponsiblity. 1t is true beyond the
shadow of dispute. All the plateaus.
and mesas, and mountain sides are
covered with rank and nutritious
grasses. The SHOWS are deeper and the
rains more frequent than on the east
ern slope of the Rockies. There are no
desolate deserts, and but few rocky
wastes. Even upon seemingly rocky
stretches cattle and wild animals fat
ten on grass that grows in the crew
ices. Seven years ago n careful esti-
mate placed the number of cattle in
the two counties at $4,000 head. There
is reason to believe that the number
has doubled since then. The cattle
there now are worth approximately So
100000. 1t is not cattle breeding so
much as cattle fattening region. 1t
is cheaper to ship in the yearlings and
two-year-olds and ship out the four
year-old beeves. The latter are the fin
est range cattle that go TO Chicago and
other eastern markets and bring the
top prices. The shipping in and out of
these cattle make double traffic for the
crease rather than diminish the num-
ber of range cattle fattened by provid-
ing more winter food.

FOWLER BANK ROBBED.
Two Men Arrested, One of Whom Con-

Denver, April S.-A Republican spe-

yesterday, says:
By the use of dynamite and nitro

two robbers dead or alive.
The burglars entered the bank
through side window and began oper-
ations on the time lock on the big
vault. They bored three holes in the
door and put in three charges of dyna-
mite. The door was blown from the
hinges, and desks and counters knock
ed down and the front door and VIM
dows were shattered. 1t is n mystery
how the men escaped without personal
injury, as the explosions We're all very
heavy. After getting through the out.

the factory considered the matter fully
and voted unanimously 20 accept the
proposition.
The Havemeyers will commence the
erection of the factory just as soon as
the site is selected. The Baker place
east of town and the Berry place north
of town are the only places under con-
sideration. Unless a conclusion is
reached very soon. the factory will be
built on the Barry place. as the option

Kremmling. at the mouth of the Muddy
and the Blue. Here is where the de-
bate begins Whether the road shall
plunge due west through rugged noun
tains to Trappers lake, and thence
down White river to its junction with
the Green. or climb out of Middle Park
over n low pass in the Park range to
the headwaters of the Yampa-barbar-
ious.y marked on some maps rs the
Bear-opens u field for discussion. Mr..
Davis inclines to the opinion that the
Yampa route will be adopted and the
map Is intended to approximate his
ideas of about where engineering and
commercial considerations will compel
1t to go.
The region needing railroad transpor-
tation beyond Middle Park, Routt and
Rio Blanco counties. is characterized
by three great river valleys from east
to west parallel with each other and
about fifty miles apart. They are the
Snake, the Yampa, and the White. Fol
lowing the wagon road for 225 miles,
from Rawllns on the Union Pacific to
Rife on the Rio Grande, 1t is seventy
five miles from Rawlins to Dixon and
Baggs. on the Snake, near the state
line. On south TO the Yampa at Craig
is fifty miles more. Meeker Is another
fifty miles to the south. Still another
fifty miles bring one to the railroad
and the valley of the Grand at Rifle.
BY running the new road down the
Yampa 1t will. at Craig. be 125 miles
south of Rawlins and 100 miles north
of Rifle. 1t will. in short. command the
three parallel river valleys the most
effectually. 1t will be nearer than the
ITninu pnsi0c IN tho SpaEn tiyar ynl-
ley an das near as the Rio Grande to
the White river valley. This route
also best lends itself to n system of
branches to the most productive sec
tions.
A Great Scenic Line.
The new line will he widely known
as n great scenic line. As famous
passenger route 1t can afford to spend
much money for scenic effects where
these can be secured without any sac
rificc of time. But the most beautiful
scenery must be left to one side when
1t Is necessary to do SO TO avoid loss of
time. Thus 1t Is pity that the line
cannot pass Grand lake, the most ex-
uisitc bit of scenery on this continent.
A short branch line will reach 1t and
thousands will stop Off to see II. but
to bring the trunk line by 1t would
probably cost the loss of an hour of
time, which IL not to be thought of for

most direct line. If heavy grades did
not threaten to countcrbalance these
advantages we could confidently count
on the selection of this for the through
route. But whether the White or the
Ynmpn Is chosen, the scenery practical
ly all the way will be beyond compar-
ison. superior to that of the rival lines.

SUGAR TRUST is ACTIVE.
viii Spend Millions to Control the
Colorado Field.

Denver, April S.-A News special
from Fort Collins says:
There is no longer any doubt that
the sugar trust has entered the beet
sugar industry. 1t now controls the
Penoyer interests and in fact all the
Michigan beet sugar factories that are
paying properties. The factory at Lehi,
Utah, has also passed into its hands.
For some months past. experts In the
employ of the Havemeyers have been
quietly making thorough and sys-
tematic investigation of the Colorado
fields. They reported that the Colo
rado soil and climate was the best In
the world for sugar beets and that in
dependent companies Were starting
factories all over the state. The Have
meyers were afraid that few years
might develop very dangerous coinpe-
tition, and decided that in order to
protect themselves they must own the
Colorado factories.
They have already completed ar
rangements for IA controlling interest in
the Eaton beet sugar factory, and an
offer has been made by them for the
factory which Is now being built ut
Greeley.
The Greeley company at first refused
to sell. The Havemeyers said that If
the Greeley people absolutely refused
to sell. then Greeley would have two
factories, as they would build another
one there.
Negotiations nre now In progress for
the factory at Loveland. The owners
OF the Loveland factory want to sell
for $1.OOOOOO cash. The Havemeyers
have submitted the proposition to put

ton to build branch here will be ir-
resistible. The next branch would be
to Meeker and need only be thirty
miles long. 1t could leave the main
line at the mouth of Milk river and get
water grade up to the Thornburg
battle-ground and thence another water
grade down to Meeker From Meeker
1t can be extended both up and down
White river. The Snake river branch
can also be extended up and down
that stream from Dixon. On both the
Snake and the White these extensions
would now pay and would be valuable
feeders to the main line. The exten-
sions projected on the map are only
such as will probably be built along
with the main stem. as n part of the
policy of annexing northwest Colorado
, and southern Wyoming to the COM
merce of Denver.

stated that it would build by the side
of every independent sugar factory a

Among the many poker stories afloat
q good one IL told concerning Dutch

Dutch Hank had left some friends
outside waiting. but he said he would
stay and eat the liver. He sat down
and ate and played. His $4,000 soon
