Bee Men
Incorporate.

The bee men and honey producers
of Me sa county are jubilant. AT the
meeting which they held at the Court
house, Saturday. they perfected an or
gani .ation which they are confident
will bring about new and better con-
ditions for them. They formed

under the laws of Colorado. The
capitalization is So, 900 and 1000 the
number of shares of stock. Before
the meeting closed Saturday. large
portion of this stock had been taken
is to put the bee meu of this county
on an indeuendent footing. Hereto
fore they have been forced to accede
to all demands made by the combine
of the commission merchants across
the range. This combination sent
but one man into the western slope
field. He came here with instruct
ions to offer for honey 50 40 per case
and no more. Across the range honey
men were getting S3. 90 per case. In
addition to this hardship. local bee
men had to pay exorbitant prices for
their supplies. Hives worth 81 90
sold here for $l3O. Other rates were
proportionately high. Organized as
they now are, the beekeepers will
not have to suffer these unjust con-
ditions. They will set their own
price on their honey and if the COM
mission merchants across the range
do not want it at that figure. lhey
will sell to the retailer and consumer

all things needed by bee men at the

Statehood Dill

Washington, Feb. 1.-The omni-
bus statehood bill will continue for the
present to hold the place as the unfin-
ished business on the senate calendar.
hut it seems quite probable that the
discussion of the statehood bill will
come up in connection with the ap
preparation bill. Senator Quay has
entirely changed his tactics during
the past week and after trying in vain
to secure a quorum for night sessions
on two different occasions has aban-
doned all efforts in that direction.

statehood bill to take the responsible

ly is the least concerned of all the
senators to secure late sessions He
makes no confidants. but it is evil
dent that it is his purpuse to make his
fight in connection with the appropri-
alton bills and to secure promises to
vote for q. statehood rider to one IF

Husband and wife are separated
on the most flimsy pretext. And as

in this respect. South Dakota has the
unenviable distinction of granting
divorce for the mere asking of it, on
the sole condition OF brief sojourn

and create demand for good salaries
can not leave you while life lasts. "

of this and surrounding counties, join
the happy throng of busy workers in

tainties.
