The japanese are gradually advancing

A Russian prisoner. captured Octo-

the garrison of Port Arthur were in
want and dispirited. They saw the
fruitlessness of the struggle. Hope

SUGAR BEETS
And
POTATOES.

Rifle. Colo. Nov. 1o.-The crop of
potatoes and sugar beets at this place
is most gratifying to the ranchmen.
and the success of the first years trial
in beet culture has been so marked as
to be a point of much discussion
among the raisers. It is estimated
that the total amount that will be
shipped from the county to the fac
tory in Grand Junction will be be-
tween 75 and 100 car loads.
The daily sentinel., 1904-11-10

Carbondsle, Colo, Nov. l0.-There
is quits a supply of sugar beets here.
and as soon as the work comes to be-
gin digging they will be shipped out
in pretty quick order. There is a
good demand for the local crop which
will reach from 10 to 20 car loads.
The daily sentinel., 1904-11-10

Antlers. Colo, Nov. I0.-The ship
ments of sugar beets promise to be
sufficient to warrant a greater acreage
next season. The results of this crop
have been watched for some time and
it is now asserted that the beets will
average from 12 to 10 tons to the acre.

The Wyoming Commission of

ton has undertaken the task of
seeing that this state is properly
and creditably represented at the
Worlds Fair to be held in st.
Louis in 1904.
While a great deal of work has
been done and arrangements have
been made with most of the lead
ing mines, agriculturalists aud
others. for exhibits along their
several lines, yet it is more than
probable that there are numerous
interesting relics, mineral and
agricultural products, which will
be overlooked unless those pos
sessing or having knowledge of
the same, voluntarily communi-
cate with this Commission.
Therefore, we invite anyone
Who thinks he has anything wor-

ing clearly what the article is and
the conditions under which il

this state is well represented at

Senator Warren 4 Strong One.

The following from the Oregon
Daily journal, concerning Wyo-
ming's senior senator, will be of in
terest to the readers of The Sun:
"One of the most distinguished
visitors in Portland is United States
Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyo.
ming, who is likewise president Of
the National Woo. growers Asso-
citation. Senator Warren has built
himself from the ground up. In any
community, in any assembly, he is a
powerful vital force. His activity
is simply prodigious, The bent of
his mind is thoroughly practical.
He is one of those men who always
know how. He knows men in the
mass and he knows them individual
ly. He knows how they are moved
and he has the faculty of setting
them in motion.
Senior senator from one of the
very smallest states, small in popula-
ton but mighty in square miles, he
has given to it a practical couse-
quence in national affairs that %etfaces
many of its more populous neighbors.
On practical questions of business.
viewed even in their largest and most
significant Legislative aspects, he is
the peer of any man in the United
States senate. In political matters
few men have shrewder conceptions
and fewer still know better the tenn
per and disposition of the people.
Few men stand closer to the admin
istration and there are still fewer
that the administration would go
farther to serve.
SIN any eventuality he is a man
to be reckoned with and for more
reasons than one The journal is glad
to see him in Portland where he can
view state conditions at first hand
and gain an added appreciation of
their Significance from a national
view point

of it in a way that will never grow
