BEET SUGAR FACTORY.

A beet sugar factory Is being agltated
for this region. 1t is found that the
beots can be raised successfully, and Of
a quality TO justify the Investment La
lara Is the ideal place for such an en-
te prise In the son Luis valley as IL has
an abundance OF good artesian water
and ls located in the center Of the ag-
riCultural district where the beets are
90 be raised, and where they could be
delivered by team TO the factory by the
4 rmerg direct from their fields, while
the pulp could be placed on the feed
ing grounds OF the farmer at little
cost The matter has been canvassed
emong the people and they are willing
10 take hold of the matter and guar
cntee sufficient acreage TO Justify the
erection Of a factory, and II Ia under
stood that capital is ready TO take hold
e the enterprise. Efforts are being
made to have the factory established at
Alamosa which Is more OF railroad
center but II Is not surrounded with
the agricultural resources that are
presented az La lara, and would re-
qulre the beets to be shipped on the
railroad and thereby create an expense
that would lessen the profits on the in
testment
The people Of Sanford and Manasseh
ARE greatly interested in having the
factory built at La lara as II would be
i benefit to them.

What Constitutes "News."

The Buffalo Commercial says that
Charles A. Dana once defined news
in this way: IF you see dog biting
a man don't write it up. But if you
see a man biting a dog spare no pains
or money to get the details to the
Sun office" This is poor paraphrase
of a good story. When doc" Wood
was night editor OF the Sun young
reporter asked him: What consti-
tutes news?" Mr.. Wood considered
for a moment and then. replied:
Here's an illustration which will
probably give you correct idea Of
what / think on that subject. If you
should see a dog running down
Broadway with tin can tied to his
tail it isn't worth line. But if you
should see dog with tin can tied
to his tail-walking down Broadway
it's worth column"

The lines of dissipation were iii
concealed by rouge and powder, and
she was singing a ribald song in the
back room of a Houston street saloon,
when younger girl entered with a
man of more than twice her age, says
the New York Times.
The hayward girls voice left her.
and she gazed in horror at the fair
youngster holding glass of whisky
in her hand. She got up, went quietly
over to the table, and said to the
man:
"You go, or I'll have you arrested
for bringing a child in here, and don t
you ever dare to follow this baby
again."
The man skunk away.
"Now go home, dearie," begged the
other girl, with a strange tremor in
her voice, land be good girl. You
don't want to be like me. It's worse'n
hell to be bad. Come, I'll see you
to the door,
And the two went out.

HOW GRANT GAVE ORDERS.
Promptness in Decision Characteristic
Of the Man.

PromptneSS IN Decision Characteristic
Of the Man.
Grant was great smoker ever
when I knew him." says Mr.. Weber,
a Missouri neighbor of Grants farm
ing days, but he wasn't a good talker.
When it came to action, though, he
never was at a loss" Mr.. Dent, his
father-in-law, owned fine specimen
Of Durham bull. The big animal was
as powerful and as vicious as any
have ever seen. He broke through
every fence that was put about him,
and the farmers for miles around suf-
'fered ruined orchards and devastated
garden patches. The animal would go
among the trees, and, dashing from
right to left, would scatter the fruit
on the ground for yards about. One
day, after night in which the old
fellow had been especially annoying,
we sent over to the Dent place for
aid. Grant rode back with our mes
senger. The bull was racing about
the fields, terrorizing the neighbor-
hood. Grant asked two or three ques-
lions as to losses, then he told some
one to get spoke.
Now he said, as if he were di
recting simple task, catch the bull
and tie this in his mouth, bit fashion,
IF anyone else had made the sug-
gestion he would have. been laughed
at, but Grants direction was taken as
command. He took no part in the
proceedings, but turned his horse
about and rode away. The men went
out, caught the animal, gagged him,
and turned him loose again. After a
few days of starving he was complete
| ly broken of his bad habit"

OUR POPULATION IN 1910

An interview with Census Commits
sioner Merriam in which he predicted
l00,OO0,G00 as the total population of
the United States in 1910 has been
commented upon in some quarters as
extravagant and as probably wide of
the mark.
The official count of two years ago
gave the population at that time as
I6,303,3O0, and it showed that these
have been the percentages of increase
between censuses Since 1870, not talk
ing into account Alaska, Hawaii, In
dian Territory or the Indian reserva-
tons: From 1870 to 1880, 80 per cent;
from 1880 to 1890, "a per cent; from
1880 to 1900, 20 per cent.
1T is a we'll established rule in the
computation of population that as the
number OF inhabitants increases, the
percentage of gain declines, and should
the population of the states and terri
torres of the United States increase in
'he present decade in no greater ratio
1han 10 per cent, which is abnolmally
small and below the record of any pre-
vlols decade in the country's history,
lhefe would be a gain of 10,250 900 in
population, which, with the addition

Friday noon, but last night had an
entirely new one. Two days ago the

to be laboring under some excitement,

him and to look out for evidence of ir-
regularities.
'"It was then noon and I started at
once by following my man to a cheap
restaurant in Ann street. I supposed
that he was going to his luncheon, but
he went into a telephone booth and
closed the door. 1t was impossible for
me to hear with whom he was talking,
solvent to the proprietor of the place
and made some inquiries, and learned
that my man telephoned every day at
that time and seldom bought more
than sandwich.
That day he paid the telephone toll
but bought nothing. AS l followed
him into-the street made up my mind
that he was in communication with n
stock broker, and that financial trouble
in Wall street was the cause of his
strange actions. That was nothing new

Thirty.one Million Of Them Were
Killed in Thirteen Years.
In the forties, when the American
Fur Co. was in the heyday of its
power, there were sent from st.
Louis alone in single year 100000
robes; and the company bought only
the perfect ones. The hunter usually
kept an ample supply for his own
needs, so that for every robe bought
ny the company three times as many
were taken from the plains. st. Louis
was only one port of shipment. Equal
quantities of robes were being sent
from Mackinaw, Detroit, Montreal and
Hudson bay. A million would not
cover the number of robes sent each
year in the forties. In 1868 1nman,
Sheridan and Custer rode continuous
ly for three days through one herd
IN the Arkansas region; and in 1869
trains on the Kansas Pacific were held
from nine in the morning until six
at night to permit the passage of one
herd across the tracks. Army officers
relate that in 1862 herd that COW

and army men and employees of the

features as to make it seem as though
the second had been carefully pre-.
pared on the details and after the
plan of the first. All fire departments
understand that q great confagration
Is usually followed by q second and
often by third within few days;
insurance men have noticed that a
fire occurring in building devoted
to an unusual occupation is also fol.
lowed at short interval by second
fire In a similar line, and that the
rule also applies to buildings devoted
to particular, often common, kind of
business. For a month or two it
sometimes seems to the insurance
men that all the hat stores in the
country are. devoted to destruction;
then for n long time the hat stores
will have Immunity, while the shoe
stores, dry-goods stores and groceries
are burning. The principle even ap.
plies to smaller accidents and mis-.
fortunes.

feet that whenever mechanic comes
in with an injured thumb, necessitat'
