= r,t,c in 7 nj mi n r
on Sunday, the 31st, instead of the reg
ular day. The old soldiers and friends
met at the hose house at 2 o'clock and
accompanied by the Citizens band mar
ched to the cemetery where appropriate

growing larger each year.
The amendment to the sugar beet con-
t.acts ought to be signed promptly by
all Of the original signers, as its only ef-
feet can be to delay the building of the
factory until 1905 and even this is not
certain. The growers OF the beets will
get the same price for the beets and have
no greater distance to haul them under
the amended contract, and there will
be no financial loss at all connected
with the change in the contracts. The
general belief is that the factory will
be built next, year, but the compiny
wishes to protect themselves IN case
they should be unable to construct it
then, and as it entails no loss on the
growers there should be no delay in
signing the amendments. Mr.. Oxnard
will be in Lamar in about one week and
it is hoped that the amendment to all
the contracts will be ready to turn over
