About the sss~h.ctory-

Things pertaining 10 the Holly
sugar factory bid fair to traaspirc
with almost lightning,like rapidi-
ty during the next week. In fact
enough has transpired this week
to convince the people that there
is to be no unnecessary delay in
getting tine work started
w. NJ. Wiley retutped Monday
morning about nine o'clock from
New York. The officials and en-
ployes at the cou1sass headquar-
ters were very reticent as to the
time of Mr.. Wiley's arrival but it
leaked out somehow that he WAS
on number nine that morning aud
when the train pulled in there
were about two hundred people
assembled at the depot 10 do hon
or to the man who had done so
much for their town. The crowd
greeted Mr.. Wiley with out
stretched hands and then they
cheered, and cheered again. The
reception was hearty and enthusi-
astic in the extreme yet it only
gave expression to the true feel
ings Of an sppreciative people.
The sugar factory at Holly will
be built by the Holly Coustruc-
tion company. of which W. M.
Wiley is president. 1t will be
operated by the Holly Beet Sugar
company, with Mr.. Wiley as man
ager.
Mr.. Wilhelm Baur OF New York
is consulting engineer for the
Holly Construction company. Mr..
Baur built the factories at Chino
and Oxnard, CAlifo rnia; Caro- and
Coswell, Michigan; Rocky Ford,
Colorado, aud Ames,s Nebraska.
He is admitted to be the greatest
genius in sugar factory construc-
tion in the United States. He
built three factories that get the
greatest extraction in this country.
S. W. Sinsheimer. whom many
of our people alreadyknow, will be
constructing engineer Of the Hol-
ly factory and superintendent af-
ter the. factory is built. Mr.. Sin
sheimer began factory construc-
tion eleven years ago. He was
one of the construction engineers
on the factories at Oxnard, Rocky
Ford, Caro-, Coswell and Ames.
He made a brilliant showing as
superintendent of sugar factories
at Rocky Ford, Norfolk, Nebras
ka, Coswell and Owosso, Michi-
gan. AS superintendent of sugar
factories, no one ranks higher than
Mr.. Sinsheimer.
Nearly all the contracts fol
machinery have been placed and
the mills are at work getting il
ready for shipment.

Sugar Beet Raising in Kansas

The Topeka Mail and Breeze of
last week contained the following
letter written by our friend s. N.
Garfield. who manfully stands up
for the industry that is destined
to make western Kansas and east
ern Colorado famous:
Mr.. Editor-You used a great
deal of space last year to caution
readers against sugar beet raising
aud probably told the truth. or
part of it, SO far as Nebraska is
concerned, but are certainly bias
ed against the industry. Ii you
can rent $50 land for three years
at So per year making Sl5 you
have got three-fourths the value OF
your land and still have the 81 me,
somewhat reduced, to seed to al-
falfa and let rest in this crop for
three to Ave years and it is ready
| for another run of beets. But per-
haps conditions are different in
Nebras ka than in western Kansas
or eastern Colorado. L1nd here
must be under irrigation to raise
sugar beets and is worth from $40
to $500 per acre, according to its
proximity to the factory or ship
ping station, and rent is generally
based on the crop raised One
seventh to one fifth is the usual
crop rent delivered on the cars.
The beet crop OF 1903 was a
failure, owing to our having no
summer weather, but the crop just
marketed was good, the yield
running from ten to twenty tons
per acre.
Sugar beet raising is strictly a
laborer's industry and is especial
y the industry for the poor man
with large family to engage in.
Children two young to be of ser
vice in corn or wheat section
can do as much as full grown men
in the culture of beets. But a
man can't monopollze the busines Sc
to any great extent as 20 acres is
a large crop for one man and team
to tend aside from the thinning.
No cropin the irrigated country
will grow with less irrigation. Be-
sides the cash for the beets, which
is always the same under contract,
the beet raiser gets percentage
of the pulp that remains after the
bulk of the sugar is extracted, to
feed and it is, when fed with other
feeds, an excellent milk producer
The tops that are cut from the
beets are worth 50 to So per acre
for feed. The beets themselves
are an excellent feed for horses
cattle and sheep, and fairly good
! for hogs.

The husilers &C Holy and La
mar have secured sugar factories

cry enterprise that helps the town

Thos Berry, chief engineer Of
the Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet
and Irrigated Land company. has
instructions from his company to
proceed with the building of the
syphon at Sand creek and to Wild
en- the Amity canal wherever
necessary to give it the greatest
efficiency. This work will be
pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible.
1t is a curious coincident that
Mr.. Dennis Sullivan, the vice
president of the Denver National
Bank, who was one of the owners
of the old "SS" ranch in 1870,
should be one of the leading men
among those who haye subscribed
to the stock OF the Holy Beet Su-
gar company. In 1871 Mr.. Sulli-,
van was partner of Mr.. Holly in
the cattle and ranch business, and
it was about that time that John
Cores built the ranch house and
barn on the south of the track un-
der Mr.. Sullivan's direction.
