page. and has converted the juice ex.
tracted from $1,000 tons OF beets Into
commercial granulated sugar. There
are still $4,000 tons OF beets to work
up. which will keep the factory In op.
Grafton until nearly the LIST Of Febru-
airy. The product Of the factory to
date has been approximately 2i2.000
sacks OF 100 pounds each. or 81 .25O,0 900
pounds Of sugar. These immense fig.
nres will be swelled to 10000, 900
pounds at the close of the campaign.
The acreage planted to beets this
season In the Fort Collins district was
10.o03. an increase OF about 1000 acres
over the crop Of 1904. and the total
tonnage was 10000. as against 7s,.
900 In 1904. The average yield per
acre In 1905 was fraction under
twelve tons, as against 49, tons In

planting OF new land In many instances
and the effects Of hail storm In July.

seven tons. Beets planted oil old lands
by experienced growers and which
were not touched by hail averaged
seventeen tons TO the acre.

Wednesday night, while on his way to
the Santa Fe depot, where he intended
to join his wife in California.
Scott was removed to St. Francis
hospital and probably will die. He
is thought not TO have had an enemy
In the world and the only solution OF
the mystery Is that the assault was
the result OF an attempt at highway
robbery.
According to Scott's statement in
the hospital. he was walking east on
Pixies Peak avenue. near Wahsatch
avenue. two blocks from the depot, a
valise In either hand, when he met two
youths. After he had passed about

Mr.. Scott described his assailants
as "A couple Of kids about twenty
years old" He declared that he had
never seen them before and believes
that robbery was their object. One
wore cap. another hat. and both
were OF slim build. Both wore dark
clothes.
