Tho Progress Of the Sugar Beet In.
du8trv.

The growth of the sugar beet in
dustry in Colorado has been one of
marvellous proportions and so sue
cessful has been the culture of the
beet here that Colorado will soon
rank as the first sugar state in the
union. We have nine large factor
les with another in course of con
struction besides three or four
schemes undergoing incubation.
While most of the capital necessary
to put these factories in operation
came from outside sources, the move.
ment was set on foot through local
effort put forth almost entirely by
the business men OF the various
owns where the industry has obtain
ed foothold. In some places the
citizens labored almost necessarily
for three or four years before they
succeeded in interesting capital in
their enterprise but each venture
proved such marked success that
the work Of starting other factories
has been rendered much easier. The
introduction of so new, important and
extensive an industry has had mark
ed effect upon the communities

promises to still further revolution

effect will be seen in an awakening

effort, and effectiveness of systemat-

are the men, with hands stepped in

making all this noise about some
body trying to overthrow the will Of
the people. No family has been so
deep in crimes against the ballot

The present year has been a reve
lation in the culture of the beet and
most marvellous progress has been
made in certain localities where the
importance of scientific culture has
become fully understood. We have
reports of thirty tons to the acre,
which at S. the ton and an expense
Of only $40, makes the growing Of
beets very profitable business. The
factories are showing more liberal
spirit toward growers and the con-
tentions this year are scarcely worth
mentioning whereas heretofore it
was generally scrap from start to
finish. The grand total output for
the state for 1904 reaches the.signifi

means eighty million pounds of man.

The labor involved in the manufa Ct

These factories have cost $4,000, 600
and are owned mostly by the sugar

extracted. The feeding value of one
ton of pulp is equal to 400 pounds
CT hay. Cattle will eat 100 pounds
of pulp aud twenty pounds of hay
each day, thereby saving one half

usually sold to the beet growers at
thirty five cents ton and to others

EXECUTIVE BEGINS FIGHT ON OR.

!: FOR HIS ELEcT,oN.

Philadelphia, May 24.-Director Of
Public Works Costello and Director Of
Public Safety smythe have, at the re-
quest of Mayor Weaver. rendered their
designations. This Is the latest and
most startling development in the
fight against the lease for seventy-flve
years of the. city gas works to the
United Gas Improvement company.
Each official in rendering his resig-
nation used the phrase: ITO take
effect when my successor has quail
fed" These words are taken in po-
utical circles to indicate a determine
ton to hold on to the Offices as long
as possible as the successors of the
two directors must be confirmed by a
two-thirds vote of the city council.
Mayor Weaver evidently took the same
view. as It was stated that he had noti-
lled Messrs. Costello and Smythe that
the form Of the designations was not
satisfactory and he gave them two
hours to resign without qualification
on pain of removal from Office.
Mayors Action Creates Sensation.
The action of the mayor is the all
engrossing topic Of conversation. It
Is safe to say that no such political
sensation has been sprung In twenty
dve years. Now, that the mayor has
declared war on the Republican or
ganization leaders who placed him in
Office 1t Is expected that bitter fight
will be waged during the remaining.
