American Beet Sugar Company, has
accepted the acreage of the Lamar

tracts with over four hundred grow
ers in the vicinity of Lamar to grow
five thousand acres OF beets for a
term of five years for factory at

gives the company until 1905 to

incorporated more than year ago,
has ever since been negotiating with
Mr.. O1nard for a factory. The peo-
pie of Lamar feel confident that they
will have a factory in 1905. The
contracts are conditional. Mr.. Ok
nsrd agrees to take care Of the beets
raised in 1904 at the Rocky Ford
factory and erect factory for them
in 1903. Ii those who have been 80
diligent in trying to get factory

necessary acreage, there is no doubt
but that Lamar will soon become

The great event of the year for
Lamar and Prowers county has been
the successful termination OF the la

four hundred contracts were signed

Lam ar to havo a Sugar Factory.

Henry I. Oxnard, president of the
American Beet Sugar Combany, has
signed the contracts which will re-
suit in the erection of beet sugar
factory at Lamar, and the papers are
now in the hands of the subscribers.
1t is expected that rapid progress
will be made in the project from now
on.
The contracts obligate the Ameri-
can Company to build factory at
Lamar and to have it in operation by
the summer of 1905. They provide
for the growing of beets for period
of five years, commencing in the
summer of next year, and for their
delivery to the factory in Lamar.
There is proviso that if for any
reason the factory is not ready to
handle next years crop the beets
will be shipped to Rocky Ford for
next season. About four hundred
farmers and business men of the vi
cinity of Lamar signed the contracts
before they were sent east, and the
total acres that will be added to the

acreage of sugar beets to mannfac
ture of any factory in the state.
This will insure it's being at least u
thousand tons per day capncity and
being run to its full capacity for AS
long a season as possible each year.
The large Landed and ditch interests
which the company has secured in
Piowers county, and is still acquir
ing, makes it practically home in
stitution, all its interests and pros
poets being identical with those of
our citizens. Their extensive pur
chases of city property shows their
absolute faith in Lamar and its flu
ture.
The securing of this factory is, as
we have said, the great event of the
year, and it is also the greatest
event in the history of Lamar and
Prowers county. 1t means largely
increased value not only to city prop
.lty but also to all farmers land and
water rights. 1t means the doub-'
ling uud trebling of our popula-

1t is reported that Henry Il. Ok
nard on behalf of the American Beet
Sugar company has signed contracts
with four hundred beet growers in
the vicinity of Lamar, to grow more
than five thousand acres of beets for
term of five years, and that the
company has until 1905, if necess-
ary, to build foctory at Lamar.
This ls the sort of news that takes
the bad taste out OF the mouths of
those who have been brooding over
the injury that has been brought up
on the state by the long period OF
industrial disturbance due to labor
troubles. Nothing short of seis mic
cataclysm can not stop Colorado's
growth.-Colorado journal.
A. E. Bent is up from Lamar to
day and is feeling good over their
prospect for sugar factory. This
week, Henry T. Oxnard, for his com
Pany, signed contracts with the
Prowers county farmers for six thou
sand acres of beets, and the factory
is to be built not later than for the
1905 crop of beets and it may be
completed next fall. The Oxnards
own the factory at Rocky Ford, and
several others in different parts Of
