skilled men in the building trades when
it wis announced that every union,
with the exception of the housemiths

Fort Collins says: So far this season
the local sugar factory is having a sue
cessful campaign. 1t began slicing
beets October 4th and has had a con
tinuOus run without an hours stop
page, and has converted the juice cX-
tracted from $4,000 tons of beots into
commercial sranulated sugar. There
are still $4,000 tons Of bcets to work
up, which will keep the factory in OPP
Grafton until nearly the 1st of Febrll-
airy. The product of the factory to
date has been approximately 2l2,OO0
sacks of 100 pounds each, or u ,25O, 600
pounds Of sugar These immense fig
urcs will be swelled to S0.O0O,00O
pounds at the close Of the campaign.
The acreage planted to bects this
season in the Fort Collins district was
10,003, an increase of about 1000 acres
over the crop of 1904, and the total
tonnage was 100000, as against 49,
900 in 1901 The average yield per
acre in 1905 was a fraction under
twelve tons. as against 1872 tons in
1904. the falling off being due to the
planting of new land in many instances
Snd the effects of a hail storm in July.
The highest yield per acre reported

seven tons. Bects planted on old lands

BEET SUGAR CONFERENCE.
Meeting Of Western Sugar Producers
to Convene at Denver.

Denver.-The call for the conference
of representatives from sugar produc-
ing states to be held in Denver on
January 18th has been issued by the
Chamber of Commerce. II is believed
that every state engaged in the pro-
duction and manufacture of sugar
beets will be represented. The COM
mercial organizations have taken hold.
preliminary notice was sent out last
month and already responses have
been received from number of organ
fzations in California; from the Grand
Rapids Chamber of Commerce, from
Oregon institutions and from Utah, Ne
braska and Kansas
The call for the Denver conference
reads:
I'm accordance with circular letter
mailed November 6, 1905, to the vari-
Gus commercial organizations of the
beet sugar producing states. there will
be held in Denver, Colorado, at the
Chamber of Commerce Building, on
January 18th, conference of repre-
sentatives from the above organic
ations for the purpose of consider
ing the best method of preventing the
removal or reduction of the tariff on
sugar coming from the Philippine ISL
ands.
ut is the purpose of this call to
bring together men who are opposed to
the reduction or removal of the tariff
and not to debate the question.
while it is true that the House
committee has reported in favor of the
cheap labor of the Philippines, con-
certed action on the part of the West
and South may indicate to the Con-
gress of the United States, that this
growing industry OF the semi-arid west
should not be sacrificed nor retarded
in order to extend questionable phil
anthropy to the coolie of the Orient.
mo limit has been placed as to the
number OF delegates from each organ
ization.

WANT FREE TRADE.
Democrats Object to Tariff on Philip
pine Goods.

WashingtOn.-The view of the
minority members of the ways and
means committee on the Philippine
tariff bill were filed in the House by
Representative John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi, the Democratic floor
leader. The Democrats offer substi
tute declaring for absolute free trade
between the Philippines and the
United States, including Hawaii and
Porto Rico. but add that if their sub
stitute is voted down, they will sup
port the Republican bill. as it lis a
long step in the logical and right direc
ton"
The report says:
The members of the minority of
the committee on ways and means be-
lieve that the anomalous and prepOS-
terous status of the Philippine islands,
by which they are treated as American
territory for certain purposes and as
foreign territory for certain other
puposes-cannOt long be maintained,
and should be Immediately terminated
AT present, according to the whim
of Congress or the executive they are
considered as American or foreign, or
as both American and foreign, Or as
neither American nor foreign.
In justice to both the FilipinOs and
ourselves they should be considered
as altogether Americans or altogether
foreign.
so long as we retain them We favor
the establishment and maintenance of
free trade between them and the
United States.
THE party which we in part repre-
sent desires to get rid of them at the
earliest practicable moment and we
welcome the dissatisfaction of the
hitherto legislativeiy favored classes.

products of Philippine labor with our
