WILL coLoNIze GERMANS.
Grand Junction Sugar Factory So
Decides,

Denver, March D1.-T'he Republican
OF yesterday prints the following:
At n meeting OF the directors and
stockholders of the Colorado Sugar
Company held yesterday afternoon, 1t
was decided to bring from Germany
to Grand Junction German families to
grow bccts for the factory, and TO
straighten up the financial difficulties
OF the old company. The following
officers We're elected:
william Gelder, president; J. II. Me-
Kinnlc. Colorado Springs, vice prcsi-
dent and treasurer; +. j. McFarlnnc,
Grand Junction, secretary. Judge Al
fred Hand, Scranton, Pennsylvania,
was put on the board of directors and
one place was held vacant to be filled
by Il director chosen from the Grand
Junction interests in the plant. MIR.
McKinnie and Mr.. Gelder will leave
for Grand Junction this week to ar
range to pay the obligations of the
company, direct and indirect. Gelder
& Co. have purchased thrce-fo fourths of
the stock of the old company for $780,
600.
-Four hundred families will be
brought from Germany to plant sugar
bects and orchards, as the farmer who
Is also the owner of live stock, has
sary time and attention to the growth
of his beet crop. The plant has ca.
pncity of $50 tons daily. 1t was erect
cd at cost of S550,OO0.
Mr. Gelder has Il theory that the en-
trance of the American Sugar Refining
Company into the Colorado field is to
control the beet sugar industry and to
drive the Oxnards from the field as In
dependent producers.
with the cost of refining and freight
the syndicate must pay for its product

er, I'VE can raise and manufacture SUI
gar at cost of 50. 80 n hundredweight.
Huvemeyer cannot kill Off the inde-
pendent manufacturer by getting hold
of n few factories; he would have to
get them all. believe, although l
have not talked with any of the syn
dicate's representatives, that Have
meyer Is preparing to organize another

Ing beet sugar, and unless he starts ~
to demornlize the market by underst<i-
ing, he will make money ut 1t. Oxnard
will be his biggest competitor, and at

Under the decision. when anyone
leases any area OF. railroad land he las
absolute control OF the alternate gov-
crnment sections, or OF double the area
for which he pays. Then. too. nonadic
herds cannot Ike driven across the
lands. The decision practically gives
to the shecpmcn who have leased the
RAILROAD lands In the Red Desert co,in-
try absolute control OF the entire des-
crt. ~ - alae eA
The matter will be taken to the Unit.
c<l States Supreme Court. for II Is held
to be OF national Importance.
Cosgriff Brothers. with others. have
been for many years grazing their
sheep on the public lands forming the
alternate sections with the railroad
lands owned by the Union Pacific.
This is permitted by the laws OF the
United States. Miller leased from tile
Union Pacific n large tract of railroad
lnnds In the vicinity OF Fort Steele.
This land was not fenced.
During the winter of 1S0S Cosgrin
Brothers permitted their fiocks OF
sheep to Craze upon the unfenced lands
of Mr.. Miller. and the suit for tresltnss
was Instituted by Miller, and jude-
ment for $4,000 damages awarded by
the District Court at Rnwlins. The
case was appealed TO the Supreme
Court.
The decision OF the Supreme Court
affirms the Judgment of the lower court
as TO damages and in effect holds that
the grazing of sheep on the unfenccd
land of another although such land IL
not marked as to boundary. c0nstl.
tutes trespass II the owner of the land
gives notice of said ownership, and
such notice need not be definite as to
boundaries. II the owner Of the sheep
has knowledge of the fact that such
lands are owned by the plaintiff and
has n general iden of their location.
~ Although the decision does not pass
upon the question Of right-of-wny over
leased railroad lands, 1t is thought that
II will have the effect to exclude tres
passing to any extent upon leased un-
fenced railroad lands: that Is, II person
leasing railroad land acquires, In ef-
feet, absolute control to all the alter;
nate government sections.

A happy coincidence, when we placed our

literally of novelties than for some seasons pre-
vious-and this chance gives us now, an ample
stock of these wanted goods, in fact the de-
mand is almost entirely for them-and GUS
toners seem to revel in the assortment to be
found here.
Then again we can save you from IS to 20
per cent over others prices-and why? Well
it is thusly.
We buy all these goods through our Syndicate, 81

10 large houses belong this and all buy of the
same Importers naturally Is buy much than one
and they look for business; in fact short time ago
it up to importer to choose between one OF
the largest obbng houses in New York and our syndl
cate, as wouldn't buy Ct him if he sold thenl---We
have his goods and the jobber buys elsewhere. This
simply illustrates the purchasing power of Syndicate
of I6 houses and you would be surprised how many OF
goods bought this way, nowadays. 1t does away
with the iddleman's profits. From manufacturers to
