The Present Condition Of Affairs on
the lsthmus Highly Satisfactory
to Administration.

met meeting today was devoted almost
entirely to Panama. Roosevelt's Off
cial recognition of the new republic
this morning through the reception and
exchange of courtesies with Minister
Varilla received the approval of the
entire cabinet The present peaceful
condition of affairs is satisfactory to
the administration.
The president in response to Varilla
who expressed qualification over the
receipt of his credentials, took up the
question of recognition of Panama.
He said:
This government has taken cogniz-
ance of the act of the territory of PAN
anna in reasserting its right to self
control and seeing in the recent events
in the isthmus the unopposed express
sion of the will of the people of Pan
anna and a confirmation of their de-
clared independence by the establish
ment of a defaCtO government, re-
publican in form and able to discharge

Countrymen in assuring you and
through you the people of the republic
of Panama of our earnest desire and
hope that the stability and prosperity
shall attend the new state and that in

may be the prOvidential instrument of
untold benefit to the civilized world
through opening a highway of uni
Yersal commerce across the exception

feet. Green expired in a few minutes.
Williams was arrested.
Green was shot from an areaway at
his residence where Williams was ly-
ing in wait. A great crowd gathered
and threatened lynching. Williams
motive is still a mystery because of
the apparently untruthful statements
made by him.

required testimony. Schmidt had sign
ed his name as John A. Schmidt, Adam
Schmidt and ]. A. Schmidt to the diff
ferent affdavits, not using the same
sigma ture in all cases.
Judge Thomas H. Brents testified
that he had questioned all the appll-
cants and witnesses. and their answers
were made in English. He was not
positive but he believed that he asked
Schmidt if he had known the appl1-
cants for five years to which ques-
tion Schmidt answered in the affirma-
tive.
The federal government finished Its
case at 4 o'clock. For the defense
Adam Schmidt was the first witness

Platte Valley between Sedgwick and
Julesburg is just as nice as possibl,
can be found and ought to prepare for
irrigation while the years were seas
enable, 50 that when dry years set in
the people could have abundant crops
notwithstanding the drouth." Conse-
quently through the efforts OF Mr..
McNew and others surveys for dithes
were made, and people were urged to
the necessity OF irrigation. But many
said that irrigation WAS not needed
and it was all foolishness, and one man
tried to run the surveyors of with a
gun and threatened TO sue them for
trespass. And nothing but the want
OF water in the series of dry years that
followed brought the people to their
senses, so that when the present ditch
was made every one hailed with Joy
the stream OF water which the ditch
! carried for two or three years. Every
body has become convinced Of the ne
cessity OF irrigation, as they have all
along the valley above US, so that at
the present time bitches that have
been proved up on and reservoirs take
all the water before it reaches us.
Now what is to be done? One OF two
things. Either get up and leave, or
get the underflow, Of which there are
quantities II we will only go for it.
The laws OF the state are well provld-
ed, SO as to make it easy to obtain the
undernow we need without being op-
pressed by exhorbitant water rights,
cost and assessments, like many have
to pay In portions of country irrigated
by company bitches, but where they
raise enough better crops to justify
them in paying as high as $500 on a
quarter section rather than 60 with
out it. Mr.. Ball, who was In Greeley
short time since, says he WAS in q
wheat field where the grain stood as
high as his chin and the heads were
80 long that they had to be doubled
before they would go into an envelope
that he sent home. The owner claim
ed that it would make sixty bushels
per acre, all because they had plenty
Of water. Water will help us to do as
we'll, and water we can have il we will
only organize into o district, and buy
out the present ditch. Your land will
more than quadruple itself in value
Immediately.

The Sugar Beet Prospect.

The outlook for good sugar beet
crop is very good. SO John Duggelby,
the local lnanageFfor the Eaton Sugar
company, informs the Democrat. 1t
is almost q certainty that there will
be factory erected at Sterling next
year, for with q fairly good crop this
year the company would be assured a
splendid acreage for the next year and
the years following. The idea OF build
ing factories at Brush and Fort Nor
gan seems to have been abandoned al
together for the very simple reason
that the companies interested can ship
beets from these points to either Long
mont, Loveland, Greeley or Eaton at
very low rate and thus cover that
territory thoroughly without the ex-
pense OF building new factory. With
Sterling the proposition is altogether
different as the expense OF getting a
beet crop from here to either of the
points mentioned would be considera-
BILE of on item. The Eaton Sugar com.
pa1y has something over 1000 acres Of
beets in the territory between Snyder
and the Sedgwick county line. The
crop is said to be in an entirely salts
factory condition. The backward seas
on retarded the early development of
the crop, but this was true of all other
sections of the state and hence will
not initiate against US. More than
500 people are working In our beet
fields at the present time and the
money paid out to them finds its way
into the business channels Of the town
and county and makes business when
there would otherwise be very little.
Altogether the outlook is very bright
and those who were skeptical six
months ago are being convinced that
the sugar factory IL the very thing
that Sterling does need to make our
town the very best in northeastern

Wrecking Of Tent Endcavor,

The news of the great tent falling at

many others that it seems supertluolls
TO write it up further, yet word from

1t was Monday afternoon when the
great tent containing six to seven
thousand people, who were listening
with eager interest to the many earn

ing out in eloquence their heartfelt
subjects: other hundreds, perhaps
thousands, who desired attending these
spiritual uplifts of Christian Endeav-

room. For five days the tent had been
filled with noted evangelists and mis-
sionaries and an earnest audience. At
the close of the fifth afternoon pro-
