ions making special effort to appear at
their best There was more care taken
In this respect this year than ever be-
fore The parade was a little late in
starting. but once started there were
no bitches. The men for most part
marched four abreast and II took more
than an hour for the parade to pass
a given point.
The banner for the hest appearing

The painters and decorators arrayed in
white clothes made a distinctive hit
with the throngs along the sidewalks
and well deserved the award of the

TELLER COUNTY OFFICIALS
OBJECT TO CALL FOR TROOPS

Cripple Greek. Colo, Sept. 5.-Thc
Board of County Commissioners in
session yesterday adopted resolutions
condemning the action of the governor.
The political complexion of the board is
Democratic, there being no Republican
member, and every member was pres

purpose of suppressing a riot that does
not, nor never did exist and to protect
property and the individual residents
of the county that are not in danger;
and
Whereas. It has been falsely report
ed throughout the state that property
and life were in danger in Teller coun-
ty.
Now, therefore. the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners of Teller county do
protest,
First, that property and individuals
are as safe in this county as elsewhere
In this state.
Second. that the sheriff of Teller
county is perfectly able to handle the
situation here and has been authorized
by the board to employ any and all
deputies necessary to protect property

parties guilty of the late assault will
be apprehended by the civil authorities

in no way aid in apprehending these

the militia TO this county and by so

FARMING MATTERS.
Conditions of Sugar Beet Growing.

Prof. Wiley. chief of the bureau OF
chemistry in the Department of Agri-
culture. has prepared bulletin giving
the results of an investigation made
by him to determine the relation be-
tween climate. soil and altitude on the
one hand and the percentage Of sugar
in beets on the other.
Involved in this investigation were
experiments made at a number OF dif-
ierent stations. chiefly al points east Of
the Missouri river. Only one station.
Logan. Utah, is within the arid region
In respect to soil Influences. DIR.
Wiley-a according to digest OF his bull
letin published in the Monthly Wealth
er Review-concludes that it is shown
almost exclusively in the field per acre
and not in the content of the sugar in
the beet. This is true Of the texture of
the soil as well as OF its chemical prop
critics
With regard to latitude and sugar
content II seem that with one excep-
ton they increased and decreased to-
gether. The exception WAS at Blacks
burg. Virginia. the altitude OF
which Is 2.i00 feet. The
percentage of possible sunshine
has very little effect upon the
sugar content and the same Is true Of
the actual preponderance OF clear days.
except so far as the latter may indi-
cate drought On the other hand the
percentage OF sugar seems to increase
with the length of the day. This Is be-
cause the longer the day the greater
the working time of the plant.
The review of this bulletin in the
Monthly Weather Review attributes
great influence to altitude. 1t being
stated that the altitude OF the station
at Blacksburg. Va. sescured for the
beets grown there the highest sugar
content. 1t is said that At the Wash
ington station the lowest altitude coin
cided with lowest percentage of sugar
There is, however. an omission of any
statement in regard to the station
at Logan, Utah. where the alu-
tude Is much greater than at Blacks
burg We should like to know how the
sugar content at Logan compared with
that at Backsburg. If. other factors
being equal. altitude controls. the beets
produced at Logan, Utah, should have
had the highest percentage of sugar.
Since the percentage of sunshine has
SO little to do with the sugar content,
we must look elsewhere for means to
account for the superiority OF beets
grown in the arid region compared
with those produced east Of the Mis-
sissippi river That this superiority
exists. seems hardly to admit of doubt.
Unless It is TO be attributed to altitude
and it is difficult to see how mere al
tiiude apart from other factors can
have any enect-it would seem the
advantage Of the arid region lies in
the lack of rain in September. the
month In which beets ripen and store
up their sugar.

CRIPPLE CREEK
TUNNEL. OPENED

Cripple Creek. Colo Sept G.-The
main feature OF to-day's strike sitna-
tion was the final completion of the
El Paso tunnel. At exactly three min
utes after II o'clock this morning wa
ter began to flow from the mouth OF
the Big Four. Half an hour previous
the great whistle ON tho lei Paso he
gan to blow and II could be heard In
nearly every portion of the camp. and
many other mines helped to swell out
the noise.
There were probably fifty people at
the mouth of the tunnel, including two
armed FL Paso mine guards. when the
water began to flow through the con
duits. A large mass Of debris of every
description came out ahead OF the
stream. The water was very muddy,
and II was estimated by the engineers
that the How amounted to 1000 gal-
Ions "a minute. This soon found It's
way to Cripple creek. and IL soon
swelled that modest little stream to n
fair-sized river. Only ono bulkhead
has been taken out. and that is at the
FL Paso shaft. which IN 4.760 feet from
the mouth of the tunnel. The breast
OF the tunnel however. is now 5,23O
feet. or nearly one mile from the
mouth. If all avenues OF escape for the
NAN'i hhh b''h DD'h'hf II wan ittfitu
that some damage would be done 10
the tunnel. II Will be slowly regulated
and increased
The drainage tunnel required abont
seven months work, and when the
strike was declared II few weeks ago,
nearly all the men employed on it quit
work. 1t was then nearly completed.
The mine owners determined to finish
the work with non-nnion men and then
employed fifteen or twenty armed
guards TO protect both the EI Paso
mine shaft house as well as the drain
age tunnel, and at headquarters to-
night they are very Jubilant over com
pletioD of the work This tunnel will
be used exclusively as a drainage tnn-
mel and 1T VIII nnwater most OF the
mines situated ON Beacon. Raven and
Gold hills. The money was subscribed
for the work by such corporations as
the El Paso Consolidated, G. X. and
N, Elkton, Gold Dollar, Mary McKln-
ney, Anaconda and Doctor-Jack Pot.
and half dozen other smaller cor
porations.

ALASKA BOUNDARY
COMMISSION

London, Sept. 5.-The Alaskan boun-
dairy commissioners held their first
meeting Thursday in the conference
room Of the foreign Office.
Prior to the formal assembling the
commissioners selected Reginald It.
Tower of the British diplomatic SER
vice. formerly attached to the legation
at Washington. and recently minister
to Siam. to be secretary of the COM
mission. j. r. Carter, second secretary
of the United States embassy, and Mr..
Pope. a representative of the Canadian
government, were appointed assistant
secretaries. Lord Chief Justice Aver
stone was subsequently chosen chair
man OF the commission.
1t was announced that oral argu-
ments would commence September 18th
and Lord Alverstone expressed the
hope that they would be finished by DC
tober 9th.
The documents covering the Ameri-
can presentation OF the case are com
prised in three volumes, making total
of about 100 pages. In addition there
largest OF the volumes of text contains
the original statement by the American
commissioners, while one of the small
er volumes presents the American
counter case in rejoinder TO the British
case and the other arguments of the
American commissioners.
The United States contends that it
was the intention of the powers which
signed the treaty of 1925 to confirm in
full sovereignty to Russia continuous
strip or iisiere along the continental
shores of the northwest coast OF
America. extending from Portland ca
nal to the l41st meridian of longitude
west of Greenwich, and that such strip
was to be ten marine leagues. measured
from the heads of all gulfa and other
arms OF the sea, unless there was with
in that distance a range of mountains.
The contention is further made that
there is no such mountain range. 1t is
also urged that the United States has
occupied this strip OF territory ever
since its acquisition from Russia. and
that Russia had controlled 1t since the
treaty of 1925. until ceded To the Unit
ed States in 1867.
