have been incorporated with a com.
bined capital of 81, 100000 and Mr..
Niese has secured options on lands
suitable for beet culture and for the
erection Of sugar refineries. These
lands are those which independent
beet sugar companies were examining
with view to purchase.
In Fort Collins Mr.. Niese offered
as high as 1925 an acfe to secure
land that had been contracted for by
the Pennoyer interests of Michigan
at 500 an acre, the Pennoyer people
having begun preparation to erect q
beet sugar factory there.
1t was not suspected who Mr..
Niese was. His cards bore simply
his name and he seemed to be ig.
norant OF many Of the details of beet
sugar manufacturing. He secured
much information and it was not
until he visited Fort Collins that
suspicion awoke in the minds Of local
representatives of eastern interests
Mr.. Niese made an engagement with
party to visit Fort Collins where
the Pennoyer factory is to be located.
They were to leave on the afternoon
Colorado & Southern train, and this
was the understanding when the
meeting adjourned. Instead, it is
said, Mr.. Niese left next morning,
arriving in Fort Collins with practi
cally the entire day before him. In
company with Peter Anderson and
several men who have large holdings
of real estate that had been favorably
looked at by other parties, Mr..
Niese drove around the outskirts of
the city, displaying a familiarity
with deals pending that surprised
Anderson. Mr.. Niese was particu
larly interested in the Pennoyer
options.

inquiries. The Pennoyer attorneys
were notified by telegraph and an
investigation as to who Mr.. Niece

IN PORTO RICO.

Porto Rico came TO the United
States without opposition, and We
Americans believed that the island
was we'll satisfied to be American
territory, but a change of senfi-
ment on the part of the islanders
is now limited at. 1t is said they
are not nearly so cordial towards
the Americans now as formerly. 1t
is related that when the American
governor recently went to the
casino at Ponce he was not greet
ed by the officers of the club; leav-
ing his carriage at the door he en-
tered like any private individual.
His exit was in the same manner,
no one accompanying him to his
carriage. At the same time, 1t was
observed that the Spanish consul
general was invited to this aristo-
cratic club and was made much Of,
in factwas loaded with attentions.
Commenting on these incidents,
the Mexican Herald essays the fol-
lowing explanation of the probable
cause Of it:
One explanation of the GOODNESS
of the higher classes in the island
towards Americans is that the new
government makes allies of the
members of the plebeian 'black
party giving appointments to
men who are not of the socially
dominant class. Another reason
brought forward is that the Ameri-
can sailors and others coming to the
island treat the natives brusquely,
and as if they were inferior beings.
And all Americans are regarded as
lacking in good form according
to the Latin standard.
There is probable considerable
truth in these surmiSes, especially
in the latter. We Americans, as
a rule, are too brusque to please
the Latins, who are nothing if not
polite, who are indeed always
courtly and elegant in their man
ners. 1t is always remarked in
Latin countries that the Americans
lack urbanity. 1t is true that the
American character has in it quail
tiles which are more admirable
than mere politeness, but, still, it
would be better for our relations
with foreign nations, and we should
make better appearance general
ly, if we were more tactful and
considerate.

The collapse Of the famous cam
panile, or bell tower OF ST. Mark S
catheraI, in Venice is declared by
some observant ones to be only the
beginning OF the end of the his,
toric old city of the dogeS itself.
The entire city is believed to be
doomed to sink into the waters
which surround il and make its
picturesque canal streets. The
idea may be merely sensational
effort of some space writer, and
it is to be hoped that this is true,
for it would be sad loss to the
world, if the beautiful and artistic
old city should be lost forever.
