The Beet Sugar Industry in Colorado.

We give the following interesting
extracts from the Eighth Biennial Re-
port of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the State of Colorado" an admirably
gotten up volume, which does very
great credit to Mr.. James T. Smith, the
deputy labor commissioner. Every one
OF the fourteen chapters contained in
the book is filled with most interesting
authoritative information on variety
of absorbing topics the extracts we
give are chosen because they illustrate
the energy with which things are taken
up in Colorado when found good, and
because they concern the beet sugar in
dustry:
The industry started in Colorado four
years ago, when the factory at Grand
junction was erected. There are now
six factories built and in operation in
this state, having the following capac-
tiles in tons of beets sliced per day of
"a hours: Loveland, 1000 tons; Rocky
Ford, 1000 tons; Greeley, 800 tons
Eaton, 600 tons; Sugar City 800 tons;
Grand Junction, $50 tons. In the year
1901 it is estimated that there were over
$500 acres of beets grown in the state
of Colorado for the four factories then
in operation. In the year 1902 the fac
tories at Greeley and Eaton have been
built and the Loveland factory doubled
its previous capacity. The factory at
Grand Junction became involved in
financial difficulties the latter part of
1901, and has not been operating this
season. The other FIVE factories have
the following acreage of beets: Rocky
Ford, IL, 500; Loveland, 10, 500; Greeley
1000; Eaton, $780, Sugar City, $1,000
making total of $500 acres, and be-
ing an increase of about 70 per cent
over the area of last year.
The sugar beet in Colorado has been
proven are markable success, the tonnage
per acre is greater than that of any
ether state in the union, and the sugar
capacity equal. If not superior, to the
most favored locations of the country,
and even all other parts of the world.
In Europe crop is considered salts
factory if it produces 10 tons per acre of
beets and sugar content of about Ia
per cent. Colorado growers have raised
crops of beets ranging from % to 40
tons per acre and showing from II to 90
per cent of sugar content 1t is believ-
ed that in the ensuing years, when
water is available in normal quantities,
from 10 to 20 tons per acre may lie
reasonably expected with fair culture,

A New Back For an Old One-How
1t is Done in Owosso.

Sometimes the back aches with dull,
indescribable feeling, making you weary
and restless; sometimes pain shoots
across the region of the kidneys, and
again the loins are so lame to stoop is
agony. No use plastering or rubbing
the back in this condition You cannot
reach the cause. To exchange a bad
back for new and stronger one, follow
the example of this Owosso citizen:
Mrs. John Come, of West Main
street, says "For two years was con-
stantly troubled with pains through my
loins and kidneys. 1t gradually became
so bad that at times 1 could scarcely
stoop and to lift anything heavy hurt
my back badly. could not rest com
fortabily at night in any position and

and that the sugar content of the entire
crop will average from 10 to 1s per cent
1t is the certainty of yield and the ex-
traordinary richness of the beets grown
that make the industry popular in Col
orado.
There are several organizations for
building new factories in 1908, ranging
in cost from $40O, 900 to $500, 900 and re-
quiring from 1000 to 5000 acres of
beets grown adjacent to each factory
Rumors are current that one or more
factories will be built in the San Luis
Valley. The uncertainty of tariff legis-
lation by the federal government has
deferred many from embarking in new
projects. 1t is probable that, with the
addition of two or more new factories,
each having 5000 acres or more of beets
tributary, the acreage of 1908 will ex-
coed $4,000 acres. Should there be a
fair average crop of Is tons per acre,
this will indicate probable product of
1926, 900 tons of beets, for which not far
from 81, 00O, 900 would he paid direct to
the farmers, and the sugar product
would probably exceed double that
value.
Within the last four years property in
the beet growing and farm lands adj
jacent has risen in value from so to 800
per cent. A crop has been found that
will stand dry weather and lack of
irrigation better than any other.

Beef Cattle"
There is at present slump in the
market. Steers have fallen from eight
cents TO i've and one.half cents per

stantly at the cheapest possible figure.

future the marketwill demand quality.
BY quality l mean the largest possibl
amount of nutritious food and the
smallest amount of loose tallow. Be

beef animals for they will not be

Sheep Feeding.
w. p. Snyder, of the NJ. A. c., spoke
on "Sheep Feeding" A better quality
OF mutton is being produced now than
ever before and produced more cheap.
ly. Sheep furnish fertilizers much
more cheaply than we can buy soil
reviewers. Sheep are not hard to keep.
They pick up the odds and ends about
the fields and thrive. 1t requires
eleven pounds OF dry feed to produce
one pound OF beef, asexperiments have
proven and only nine pounds of dry
feed to produce one pound Of mutton.
Young sheep gain the most rapidly.
Prof. Plumb begged the opportunity
to express his commentator of the
able manner in which Mr.. Snyder
presented the facts in regard to sheep
feeding. "Though but a student he
has done very we'll indeed. You should

THE GOVERNOR AND CHILD LABOR LEGISLATION.

The Advertiser is much gratfied to be able to announce this morning that Gov ernor Jslks has expressed his earnest approval of the proposed legislation look ing toward the restriction of child labor in the factories of the State.
 This will be good news to the many men and women of Alabama who have been laboring for this wise and righteous measure. This attitude of the Governor does not mean that he is any the less cordially interested in the upbuilding of our manufacturing interests. His atti- tude, as well as the attitude of the many friends of this measure, really means that the advocacy of a reasonable law on this subject is in the best interest of sound prosperity.
 1t win not help-t present development of our factories for the impression to go upon the labor for long hours of little children under F years of age. That is not a wise assumption upon which to in vite investments.
 Nor VIII IL help the future ueNelopment of our factories for us to so far consume the vitalities of the children as to lower the skill and efficiency of our operatives of the future. The ultimate basis of all prosperities and of all enterprises rests back at last upon the manhood and wo- manhood of the people. An industrial State which puts the burdens of employ ment on its children of tender years, burns it's candle at both ends. Give the children chance. and all the interests of the State, moral. political and ma terial. will be secure.
 We sincerely congratulate the Governor upon his attitude and we hope that the Legislature, by prompt and decisive ac- ton, will sustain and justify his course

LooKrNo RAcKWARD.

Ii Is often exceedingly interesting to hark back half century or icss in the
 history of State or people. To think of Kansas as slave Territory seems I absurd. yet 1t was one of tho most in tense anti.aboliton section of the Union for short time, The Portland oreso- nian quotes detter from D. IT. String 1 fellow, one of the early lawyers of that State, who wrote to friend in Alabama: Kansas now has laws more efficient to protect slave property than sny State in the Union and the same paper details this incident:
 A lawyer in Leayenworth, William A.. Phillips. afterwards Colonel of Union regiment, who had opposed the slavery party at an election in Leaven worth, was arrested and cent to Weston for punishment. There his head was chayed on one side, and he was mounted on a
 rail. tarred and feathered and sold nj auction as a vagararlt. and the nuctioaecr
 was negro. The act was indorsed by q
 meeting subsecuently held in Leayen- worth.
 Such an occurrence could hardly have taken piacs in any Southern State. but
 it must be borne in mind that some of the most intense and reckless pro-siavery men in the South went to Kansas with the avowed purpose of making slave State of 1t, and for the time being they were successful. President Buchanan in a message to Congress in 1858 declared that ''by virtue of the Constitution Of the United States Kansas is as much a slave State as South Carolina" And as | an additional evidence of the intolerance 1 and severity of the slavery sentiment we are informed that by the laws in l'foree in 1857 "any man caught with a l newspaper. book or pamphlet antaEon-
 istic to the institution of slavery could, on conviction, be sent to the penitentiary
 for not less than two years" and the
 same law provided that no man opposed
 to holding slaves should sit as a juror. All these deteraiined efforts to hold Kansas in the slavery column were fruit less. Nature, as well as abolitionists and
 sharp's rifles were against 1t. True, Kan sas Is sn the same latitude as Missouri. but the latter became State when
 abolitionism was almost unheard of. Mis-
 souri was admitted less than two years
 after Alabama was. and the institution
 of slavery was as firmly fixed In one as
 the other. Kansas. on the other hand
 was a Territory and all the powers of the anti-slavery people were devoted to work of keeping slavery out, just as some Szn,ytha-D noonla ~zynrn ..aaartir,- fo alroost
 any means to carry their point Accord ing to writer in The New York Sun
 there were about 500 slaves in Kansas
 in 1857. and hardly half-a-dozen in 1861.
 The slave code'' was repealed in 1860,
 the war came on and that was the end
 of the institution in Kansas. But there
 were warm times while 1t lasted, for a
 fact, and a history of those days is in- teresting, as we'll as instructive.

 l have noticed the clipping, copied by you from The Kansas City Journal. con corning the Hon. Gideon Morgan of the Cherokee Nation. He is there said to be cousin of Senator John T. Morgan.
 l believe I know two or three facts which may be of some interest in this connection. Senator Morgan Is of fine Welsh and English blood. He had an uncle named Gideon Morgan who was a man of prominence in Tennessee during the first half of the last century. This Tennessee Gideon married a lady who was slightly tinctured with Indian b ,.cd, but who was described as being as "Iair as a lily" He is said to nave tcen q strenuous character. He went through this State during the Indian war of 1913 as an officer in General Jaekson's atmy. He left descendants, but I do not be- lleve that any of them were Cherokee Indians.s 4. D. $.

Fashion in Songs.


 The woman vocalist who cannot sing in the German tongue is voted as being way behind the age" now by society. To sing in German Is considered tho most up-to-date of vocal performances. The old feat of singing in Italian, which was considered great one by the society a generation ago. gave place to singing in French and now to singing in Germa.
 It is not so easy for the novice to ac- quire the art of singing in German as 1t Is to master the words of an Italian or French song, but the ballad or other composition possesses a charm and at- tractiveness so peculiarly It's own when rendered in the original tongue that the result Is therefore ample compensation for the special effort made by the singer.
