Beet Sugar Factories.

Brush, Eaton, Brighton, Sterling,
Fort Morgan, Debeque and Ala
moosa, all towns smaller than Lamar,
either have beet sugar factories un-
der construction or have them con-
tracted for next season. While La
mar, with the largest amount of irri
gable land tributary to it Of any town
in the state, the largest acreage of
sugar beets of any town without
factory, the best water priorities and
large and prosperous farming pop
ulation, is sitting idly by and wait
ing for somebody to hunt us up and
beg to be allowed to build factory
here. Lamar has always borne a
reputation for enterprise second to
no other town in the state, but is in
fair way to lose it unless our peo
pie get hump on themselves.
When such small towns as those
above with smaller farming popu
lation than Lamar has can secure
factories there is no reason except in
the people themselves, why factor!
could not be secured for next season
at Lamar. The acreage pledged by
our citizens last winter was much
larger than was asked of many OF
the towns above, and we believe even
that amount could be largely increas
ed now if united action by our citi
zens could be obtained.
The great trouble with the effort
to secure a factory last winter was
that many of our citizens insisted on
giving one company first option on
the opportunity to build here, and
the negotiations lasted SO long that
it was too late to take the matter up
with others. This year the field
should be left open and fair for all
factory builders aid capitalists, and
the understanding had that we will
accept the best proposition made us.
1t is too late now to firt with any
one company in hopes that they will
fulfill past promises when they see
a chance to do better for themselves.
Corporations are notoriously with
out regard for their pledges of hon
or, and it will no longer pay our cit
liens to build themselves up with
vain hopes. Lamar must either
meet this issue squarely and win out
or confess that we are no longer
the equals of such sidetracks as
Brush and Eaton. A united effort
on the part of our people will win
we believe, and the matter should be
taken in hand at once before it is
too late in the season.

Rabbit 0ay.

The Denver papers have had several
very misleading articles of late with
regard to the abandonment OF the
annual rabbit hunts, and a few words
on the subject will be in place. They
haye laid all the blame on the lack
of hospitality on the part of our
farmers, when it should be placed at
their own door.
Our farmers and citizens of the
town have each year furnished the
Denver sports free transportation to
the bunting grounds and free board
there for two days and other accom-
modations, and all they were asked
in return was to contribute one dol
lar each to help pay the expense Of
cleaning the rabbits and shipping
them to Denver and other points to
be donated to the poor. Many Of
the alleged sports were 80 small that
they refused to do this and our citi
zens got tired of bearing the ex
pense for them, especially when we
have to pay dear for all the hospi
tality we ever get in Denver. In ad
dition the Denver papers and afore
SAID sports were continually adver
tising that this section was overrun
with rabbits, that they were pest to
the farmers and but for the annual
hunt it would be impossible to farm
here. None of these statements
were true. The country has never
been In any danger of being bother
ed seriously by rabbits, and the hunts
were originated for the purpose of
the sport and to supply the poor of
the cities with some free meat.
The citizens of Lamar simply dis
covered that the outsiders were giy.
ing them the worst of the deal all
around and refused longer to be held
up. As for our farmers they are
amply able to take caro- Of all the
rabbits that come thoir way, and are
not suffering although there was no
hunt last year and will be none this
year. Private hunting parties will
always be treated Hospitality by our
people but they know when they
have enough.

George w. Perkins OF j. p. Morgan

"Mr. Schwab is not seriously III and
the stories printed about his resigna-
ton from the presidency Of the United

Morgan tomorrow and will attend sew
eral business meetings before sailing
for an extended trip to Europe as has
been his custom for many years past,

ment at the mineral springs OF that

WRECK OF the KIA Chin.

He Definitely Learned.

Washington, Aug, l9.-The navy de-
partment has received information
concerning the explosion which COM
pletely wrecked the Chinese cruiser Kia
Chih on June % last while the ship
was lying at her station of Marking.
The explosion occurred at 1886 p. m
The vessel was blown 10 pieces and
all Of the officers and men, about 1870,
were lost, with the exception Of a sea-
man who was picked up slightly
wounded
The Jar Of the explosion was felt on
board the United states steamship
Helena, which was lying about half "A
mile distant from the unfortunate Chi-
nese craft The report was described
as sharp tearing sound, resembling
sun fired with smokcless powder
close by, and afterward It is stated
an immense column Of smoke rose to
q great height, the air being filed with
broken and burning fragments Of the
shin as we'll as shells and scraps Of
metal.
The force Of the explosion threw
most of the proiectiles in an opposite
direction from the Helena, and no in

after the explosion six boats from tn.
Helena, under the personal direction Of
Commander r. Il, lngersoll, were
Swimming toward the wreck.
A heavy pail Of smoke settled over
the spot, and when II cleared away
the bow Of the Kia Chih was seen
sticking up in the air The surface Of
the river was covered for many acres
with many splInters Of woodwork, but
there was no sign Of life,
The cause Of the explosion could not
be ascertained definitely but It was
believed that either the careless han
ding Of ammunition or the want OF
care in using lights n or near the
magazine was accountable for Il. The
Koi Chih was a 2,lO0-ton cruiser and
was built in 1882.

Washington, Aug 19.--It Is admitted
at the state department that there IL
a renewal Of tension between the Unit

say, however, that the condition is in
no way grave, but Is of that strained
character which has occurred from
time to time with Turkey in recent

1t Is gathered that the present ten
sion grows out Of the long pending
claims Of Americans who suffered loss

some extent the Stone abduction gave
added cause for irritation.
The American minister, Mr. Leisch-
man, had been given wide latitude TO
