irrigation pays; that larger, better,
and surer crops can be raised under
it than by dependence upon the ele-.
ments, and that irrigated communi.
ties are, as rule, very prosperous
ones. Nor can it be said that any
project is really too large or requires
too much capital for private enter
prise to undertake, provided it offers
an assured profit or certain income
on the investment. Why, then, will
not the arid States have a gradual
and healthy development Though
the continued establishment Of irri.
cation systems and the building Of
irrigation dams by private capital
seeking inyestments
The answer is, that no great irri.
cation system which has been con-
structed as an investment for private
capital, and for the purpose OF sell
ing water to'fafmers in order to earn
permanent interest on that capital,
has been successful or profitable as
an investment. This has been the
history in this country and in India,
where, years ago, the government
assumed control of all large irrigation
works.
Co operative companies, where th Q
shares in the water company are held
by the owners of the irrigated lands,
and the water system is operated as
an adjunct to the cultivation Of those
lands, the ownership Of both land
and water being thus united, have
been almost universally successful
and profitable to the owners.
But the great irrigation works
necessary to be built to utilize the
waters that now run to waste in the
floods or in the great rivers of the
West, or to reclaim the arid public
lands, require too large an invest
ment, and must be built on too large
scale for the CO operative enter
prise of the land owners or settlers
themselves. Hence they must be
built by the Government, il at all.

No Sugar Factory.

Below we give an extract from a
letter written by Mr.. Fisher, one OF
the promoters of the sugar factory,
to P. G. Scott The letter explains
ITSELF
"As to the sugar beet question, it
looks to me at this time as if the ad-
verse feeling IN the way of Legislation
will defeat us for a factory at Las
Animas this year. Capitalists are
timid about investing and they are
the ones l hoped to interest. They
all declared if this tariff Legislation
goes into effect it will destroy the
beet sugar industry in this country.
I do not, however, believe this. 1t
no doubt will affect it temporarily,
but in the end the business will be
profitable and successful. You know
capital is timid, and there is feel.
ing that this Cuban tariff Legislation
will be enacted. Mr.. Churchill,
whom 1 wish to interest in the fac
tory at your place, and who is
anxious to go into the business, has
been in Washington and just return
ed. He feels quite sure that the
legislation which is adverse to the
beet sugar in this country will be
passed by congress, although the
beet men are making fight and will
continue to try and defeat the cane
growers. What the outcome will be
remains to be seen" Bent County

sugar Beet Fields a Gold Mine

"The sugar beet will make the state
Of Colorado famous all over the world
and will soon vie with gold for su
premacy in the list of the states pro-
Ducts" said George b. Rainwater, of
White Cloud, Mich, at tie Windsor
hotel last night.
"che soil of Colorado is peculiarly
adapted to sugar beet raising" he
said. "The deep sandy loan per-
mits the beets to grow to consider
able depth, thereby developing into
the long, graceful product that the
factory prizes 80 highly. The per
centsge of purity and of saccharine
matter is away above the average,
too, and the average tonnage an acre
is remarkable. At Greedy 1 saw a
sugar beet that weighed II pounds.
OF course this was q freak, but the
average size is all that could be de
sired.
"Your Colorado farmer will have
to learn that as a rule, it is more
profitable to till small tracts Of land.
Already the 160-acre farm is giving
away to the 80-acre tract. One rea-
son the American farmer has not
taken more kindly to the sugar beet
is the horror of the large amount of
labor connected with its culture. He
will recover from this, however, in
time, when he becomes thoroughly
alive to the enormous profits to be
had from few acres. In my travels
over the state I find that in all local
tiles when sugar factories have been
established there is an encouragingly
large increase in the number of acres
contracted for in 1902 over the year
Just closed" ."-Denver Republican.

which it is reported that the Great
Western Sugar company has made
with reference to factory building for
1902, and great deal of work seems
still to be in progress with view to
securing factory through the
agency Of the Great Western Sugar
company for this current year, and
and since Mr.. Boettcher positively
declares that his company does not
intend to take any such step at the
present time, The Sugar Beet Grow
er has thought it best to say this
much to it's readers. It Congress
could dispose of the matter within
the next thirty days, it might lie pos
sible that some action might yet be
taken, but anyone who knows the
slow methods usually practiced in
Legislation, will realize that no such
determination can be expected within
SO short time. Unless, therefore,
capital from some other source than
the Great Western Sugar company
can be relied upon, the proposed
factories at Fowler, Alamosa, Mosca,
Fort Collins, Fort Morgan, Brush
and Sterling may as we'll postpone
their plans for another year.
1t is also true that owing to the
lateness of the season, it may be con-
sidered almost impracticable to or.
ganize new company and interest
Eastern capital in time to secure a
factory for the season of 1902. OF
course if the capital is absolutely in
hand within the next two or three
weeks there would still be time to
make contracts for construction.
The sugar Beet Grower, by reason of
recent correspondence with almost
every factory building concern in the
United States, is position to give
the very latest information concern
ing the ability of construction com
panies and sugar factory builders to
take up the matter of buildinga fac
tory in Colorado. We know OF at
least three concerns who have recent
ly indicated their ability and willing
ness to enter into a contract, and
give bonds to complete factory for
the current season, provided work
could begin at once.
What is undeniable certain is, that
unless the very promptest action be
taken to start work on prospective
factories, and construction be actual
ly begun this month, it would be e1-
ceedingly rash and risky financiering
to begin work thereafter upon fac
tory for this year.-Sugar Beet
Grower.

1t is currently reported that two of
Holly's capitalists are figuring SER
iously on building large brick or
stone block, the upper story to be
used as an opera house. 1t would
be profitable investment, for since

push the building right along.

tell you it would cost about $500 to i'll
each of those tanks with water.
Those are engines there which will
pump the oil from vessels at the rail-
way wharf for a distance of about a
thousand yards through an eight-inch
pipe to these tanks. A gang of Japs
is now at work laying that pipe. The
wharf connections have all been COM
pleted and these tanks will be in shape
to handle oil in a very short time. Oil
is also to be pumped from the ships
right into tank cars on the railway
wharf to take it out to the plantations.
Il tell you what this oil business is
going to help the plantations but its
going TO injure the waterfront. There
won't be hardly any sailing ships COM
ing from Australia with coal for this
port in the future. There wont be so
many big sailing ship cargoes to dis
charge and the longshoremen will suf-
fer.
There will be no work for longshore-
men in discharg.ng the oil carrying
vessels as the discharging of them will
be done very quick and the work will
be simple. You see it will need only a
man or two at the engine and tanks
and the crew Of the vessel will look
after the work Of the pipes on board
the vessel.
Il believe that the iron for more of
those tanks is now being made and that
the work of constructing them over
here will be started soon. You see there
is place leyeied off there near the
Union tank for another one and that
one is to be constructed next"

Facts Concerning Liquor.

The United States official reports con-
tain some interesting figures concerning
The liquor traffic in Maine, Kansas, New
Hampshire and Observation-Disclosures
states. There are 1.l5l retail liquor dealers
in Maine, which means one liquor dealer
far each GOJ OF the population. In New
Hampshire there are Lass dealers, or one
to every 2gS persons, In Vermont there
are l,iOS dealers, or one to each loss of
population. In Kansas there are 2756 deal
ors, or one to every J53 persons. These
are United States government figures.
Recently at n single term Of court in
Portland. Maine pa indictments We're re-
turned against liquor dealers. These fig
ures indicate that the liquor dealers are
doing a lively business in the oldest Pro-
hibition state in the union. According to
the report of the United States Commits
sioner II Labor for 1881 the municipal IL
ccnse fees ana special taxes on liquor for
the benefit Of the municipalities in Maine
amounted To SSG06. The fines collected
for the benefit Of counties amounted to
s92,9i This makes a total Of over 800
600 the towns and counties received from
the liquor traffic, which is prohibited by
the fundamental law, The state received
nothing except SSGo for a state agency"
whatever that may be, For the same year
the license fees or special taxes collected
by counties and municipalities In Kansas
from liquor dealers amounted 10 s5oI
and the fines collected for the benefit OF
counties and municipalities amounted to
slN6. i54-a total revenue from the liquor
traffic To towns and counties OF slg2 sd2
