FL Paso. Texas, June 22.-Two humid
red and six American residents of Chi
hauhau, Mexico. have signed a petition
directed to Secretary of State Hay,
asking for the removal of United States
Consul w. w. Mills. Mills has held
the office for six years. He is a broth
er of Brig. Gen. Arson Mills (retired),
and lived in Ell Paso prior to his ap-
pointment.
The controversy started when Gen.
Mills failed to attend the American
demonstration at the Inauguration of
Governor Terra Seas. The editor Of
the Chihuahua Enterprise criticised
this, and Consul Mills preferred
charges of libel against him. The
Americans then circulated a petition
for his removal.

Factories to be Built

not danger of over production. We
believe there is none. The American
people use more sugar than any
other nation and to supply the Unit
ed States with sugar it would take
900 more factories; it would take so,
100000 more tons of beets and at 81
ton, much less than the average
price in Colorado, would mean 5000,
100000 to be paid out at home to
the farmers alone. It twould require
an expenditure of $5OO,0OO,O0O to
build the factories; to be paid to
steel furnaces and foundries, ma
chine shops and brickyards and la.
borers in general. Once these fac.
tories were in operation it would
mean an expenditure in this country
of 500 for each ton Of sugar plo

cantaioupe Growers.

In talking with Secretary Thomar
of the Lamar Cantaloupe association
this week we learned that one OF ou,
local growers, Mr.. Spoon, realized
$703 90 from five acre tract last
season. He was the largest shipper
from Lamar, and also the one who
paid most attention to the crop. Nc
such figures as these can be obtain
ed from any other crop our farmers
raise and it is remarkable that sc
few of them will consent to plant
aud look after cantaloupss.
Mr.. Spoons crop gave him a re.
turn Of $140 to the acre and with
less work and expense than it would
take to raise and place on the mar
ket a crop of sugar beets.
II there had been two dozen ship
pers such as hs was, a car load could
have been sent out each day and at
least 80 per cent more realized ON
the melons owing to their getting to
the markets in better condition.
The market for these luscious
melons is continually broadening in
the east and the failure of our peo.
pie to take a hand in this industry
is the means of their losing many
thousand dollars Of cash each year,
money too that comes just at the
season when farmers have no other
crop that will bring cash. The mel
ons require much less care than
many other crops and no extra labor
except at picking season and then
the money is coming in regularly to
pay for the labor and no borrowing
or mortgaging is necessary. In ad
dition the raising of the crop does
not interfere so far ss labor is con.
cerned with any of the other crops
and it docs not exhaust the soil.
All farmers who purchased good
seed and raised enough melons to
pay for bringing them to town say
that it was the best paying crop on
the farm, and we believe our farmers
who reside near town are making q
serious mistake in not taking up the
industry in an earnest and careful
manner. There is good money to
be got out Of it.

NATIONAL LIVE STOCK Asso'N.
Demands Revised Homestead Laws
to Meet the Changed Conditions.

Kansas City, No., Jan. 15.-The
National Live Stock association in
its annual convention here this after
noon, by a rising vote, adopted ares.
olution indorsing President Roose-
velt's suggestion that congress ap
point commission Of experts to set
tie the range problem, which for years
has been q bone Of contention be
tween cattle and sheep men. The
resolution had already been favor
ably passed upon by the executive
committee as a substitute for reso.
luton presented yesterday by A. X.
Robertson of Texas, which favored
the leasing of public lands for graz
ing. The resolutions are as follows:
Resolved, That the laws govern.
ing the use of public lands of the
United States have become out
grown and obsolete, owing to the
rapid advance of civilization, and we
believe that the time has come when
congress should take action looking
toward laws that will recognize the
changed conditions and will encour-
age the settlement and improvement
of the largest possible area, and pro
vide protection to the settlers using
said lands for grazing purposes"
"Resolved, That we approve the
suggestion of President Roosevelt in
his last annual message to congress
that larger areas Of these semi, arid
lands should be allowed for a home
stead, and that a commission of ex
perts be appointed to investigate the
present existing condition and sug
gest to congress the remedies that
will be fair and just and will build
up rather than retard the growth
and improvement of the West.
"Resolved, That memorial from
this convention to congress be pre-
pared, calling the attention of con-
gress as briefly IS possible to the
fact that the present land laws en-
courage the destruction of the for
age upon the public lands and re-
tard improvement and settlement;
that the memorial petition congress
to adopt the suggestion Of President
Roosevelt to appoint commission
of experts to make careful investi-
cation into the actual conditions now
prevailing and to suggest new laws
that will benefit all sections of the
country, the varied and conflicting
conditions existing in the various
sections of the West being the prin
cipal obstacle that has prevented the

That Boomerang Deal.

l
A good many important and ex.
citing events happened 10 the Colo
RADIO legislature yesterday and more
may be expected to day, but they
one and all simply add emphasis to
the wisdom and timeliness of our
constant advice to the Republican
Legislators to "get together and stick
together."
II that course had been faithfully
followed in the election of speaker
and the organization of the house
the party would have been spared
the pain and humiliation of seeing
eleven Democrats from Arapahoe
county seated by the aid Of the votes
of three Ants in pursuance of the
deal made week ago between those
"three honorable gentlemen to it on
each side," Philip B. Stewart, Frank
q. Cloudy and Likely" Stevens for
the Ants, and "Tom" Patterson,
''Ton," O'Donnell and ''Milt" Smith
for the Democrats.
Six Democrats were turned out OF
the house in accordance with the
terms of the deal, and then when
they thought they were safe from
reprissls of any kind the "three hon.
orable gentlemen" last named round.
ed up the democratic senate and
calmly proceeded to throw out to re.
publican senators whose title to their
seats is beyond all question.
In other words, the anti dealers
wertSs s5bbed to their hearts, content
by the democratic dealers, just as we
foretold they would be from the
start.
We are loath to believe that eth
er Stewart or Cloudy was party to
the democratic double cross in the
senate, but We cannot say as much
for "Ikey," who has been cheek by
jowl with Patterson and Otto Mears
throughout.
The house had adjourned till 10
a. m. to-day before the knavery in
the senate WAS done. Lieutenant
Governor Haggott, who, under the
constitution, is the presiding officer
Of the latter body, properly refused
to countensuce the theft of two re-
publican seats. An attempt to usurp
his functions by "Billy" Adams,
president pro tenn, led to the organ
ization of two rival senates in the
same chamber with each of these Of
ficials presiding over one of the bod
les and the Denver police force, un
der the personal direction of Frank
Adams (save the mark) guarding the
doors to keep possession for Brother
"Billy" and Brother Alva, who wants
to go to the United States senate
within two months after his igno
minious defeat for congressman at
large by a republican competitor
that nobody ever heard of until he
announced his own candidacy and
got nomination because nobody
else wanted the place.
The feeling of the republican
party in the entire state in opposi-
ton tc the foolish and knavish coali-
ton between the misguided, antls
and the democrats was voiced in
tones that connot be misunderstood
by the republican state central com
mittee in session in this city yester-
day, while the deal was going through
the house. By vote of SO to 81
the state central committee de,
nounced that infamous conspiracy
and called upon Chairman Fairly
and Secretary Vivian to resign i'm

committee the largest in point Of at
tendance in the history of the state,
