ment In Panama Affairs.

Washington. Nov. 23.-The press OF
Colombia continues to severely criti-
else and denounce the American gov
eminent for its action in isthmian
matters and the recognition Of the re-
public Of Panama. This is shown In a
dispatch received at the state depart
ment late last night from Minister
Beaupre at Bogota. President Roose-
welt. the United States congress and
the American people are the targets OF
violent denunciations. The minister's
dispatch makes no reference as to the

on the leave of absence granted him
by the state department. No uneasi-
ness is felt by the department for the
minister's personal safety.

Cape Breton averages from % TO 60
feet. and that its workable area Is es-

The reports point out that the geo
graphical position OF the Cape Breton
coal fields relative to foreign markets,
puts Cape Breton In position that
will make her an active competitor in
the markets of the world. II further
states that the proximity of the Cape
Breton deposits to the sea board; and
the cheap water transportation gives

Patterson's Advertising Trap.

The action Of the Denver News-Times
in securing the assistance Of the railways
to advertise these papers by running
cheap trade excursions to Denver has
raised storm of protest all over the
state.
Newspaper subscribers and merchants
of the towns throughout the state know
that this scheme is aimed directly at the
prosperity of the merchants of every town
outside of Denver. It is a matter of no
consequence to Mr.. Patterson whether the
merchants and the communities outside
Of Denver prosper, SO long as he can get
local advertisement for his two daily
papers.
The surprising thing is that the rail-
ways were caught in Patterson's adver-
tising trap.
The people of this city and of other
Colorado towns should stand by their
merchants, and help to build up their own
towns, where they make their money.

County Treasurer Beerbohm was in

this travelling retail grocery. Our home
merchants have to bear the burden of
taxation for the support Of our local gov

Rocky Ford Beet Sugar: In Pueblo.

Beet Sugar has struck Puebloi in punches
and is now being used throughout the
state. It is Of the new crop and. If any
thing. superior to the quality that has
been turned out in previous years. The
first car to arrive in Pueblo came last
Saturday and was consigned to the Hen
kel-Duke Mercantile company. 1t was
from the factory at Rocky Ford.
There is one feature Of the new crop
that should be gratifying to the beet
growers of the Arkansas valley. Their
sugar is Of higher grade than that which
comes from the northern partof the state.
This has been true in other seasons. and
is further emphasized by the sugar that
has been received so far this season.
