Tie sugar beet crop Of Colorado win
amount to 100000 IONS this year
and the farmers will receive five dol
lars a ton for the crop, o. a total of
SO, ESQ, 900. In addition to this, labor
will receive two and a half million
dollars for the manufacture Of the
sugar and another million will be
spent for coal, coke, and lime. The
total value of the finished product,
at $50 a ton, will be about twelve
million dollars. Seven years ago Col
0rado commenced with a production
Of 10000 pounds Of beet sugar. This
mas grown to a million and a quar-
er tons for the year 1905. These
figures are instructive and prove
strongly what can be done when cap
;tal takes hold of a problem like the
raising of sugar beets and the manu-
featuring of beet sugar in the arid
states and territories of the west,
where the conditions in these lines
are almost ideal, as in Colorado and
New Mexico. Colorado, it is believed,
S today the greatest sugar beet pro-
ducing state in the Union. 1t has be-
+ween 125 900 and 10000 acres of
land planted to sugar beets. This
acreage is being increased steadily
as more land is put under irriga-
ton yearly and planted to beets. At
the present rate of increase, in five
years Colorado will supply the major
portion of the beet sugar used in
his country. New Mexico, which will
soone or later be Colorado's sister
state, in the very nature of things
must also raise sugar beets and con-
vert them into sugar. The chances
here for big money in that line are
too great to be muchl onger ne
elected. The day when New Mexico
will be a sugar beet producing and
beet sugar manufacturing state is
not far distant.

BETS AND BEET SUGAR.

Sugar beet raising n beet sug-
ar making have within the past sew
en- years become leading industries
of the state of Colorado. What is
now being done in that state can
with proper effort be done in New
Mexico. New Mexico's sugar beets,
especially those grown in the Santa

tennial State. The day will come and
it is o far distant when her will
be thousands and thousands of acres
of LAM in this Territory cultivated
in sugar beets and when New Mexico
will make beet sugar that will be
among the best produced anywhere
and in great quantities. The example
set by Colorado will be followed and
that before long. The sugar beet

The st. Louis. Rocky Mountain
Pacific Company, recently organized
with a capital Of eleven million dol
lars, has today acquired the Ration
coal field, being the largest body of
coal under one ownership in The
United States and probably in the
world. This field comprises about
5000 acres, and includes an area
of more than 500 square miles. The
coal is high grade and produces first
class smelter coke. The purchasers
will through their subsidiary compa-
ny, the St. Louis, Rocky Mountain
and Pacific Railway Company, pro-
coed Immediately to build and equip
120 miles of standard guage steam
railroad. This railroad will occupy
the Cimarron Canyon, a canyon not
only beautiful from a scenic stand
point, but known to be b ony remain
ing pass across the Rocky mountains
that will admit of the construction
and operation of a transcOntinental
railroad within the United States.
This railroad, in addition to serving
the coal mines of the St. Louis, Roc

WORK FOR BETTER ROADS.

The good roads movement is now
che of the most important in the
United States, and many state legis-
latures are considering bills of vari-
Gus sorts designed to promote the
effort.
All the New England states with
New York, Pennsylvania, California
and Delaware. have highway COM
missions, and aid counties, townships
and towns by state appropriations.
Within a few years New York has
thus appropriate s2.O65,OO0, and a
constitutional amendment will be sub
mitted in that state TO isue $4,000
600 in state bonds to improve wagon
roads during the next ten years.
Pennsylvania has provided s6.500,-
600 for roads, to be apportioned
among the counties according to road
mileage. and expended in six years
Illinois and Ohio have decided in ia
vor of state aid. Massachusetts, with
In few years, has appropriated ST.
100000 as state aid to roads. New
Jersey is spending s25O,OO0 year
for good roads. and Connecticut sets
apart s225,OOO a year for the same
purpose.
Roads says the Globe-D Democrat,
may be called the arteries of human
activities and progress. II would be
useless to build churches and schools
uRless there Is wa to get to them,
and the better the means of communi-
cation the higher their degree of use

roads are the county's best invest

II would mere than be paid back at
once in the increased value of It's
lands, and II would prove many times
profitable in the years TO come. IL
would double our population and
wealth in brief period, and bring us
vastly more than the same amount
OF money invested in any other way"
This view OF the case is entirely
sound, as has been proved In all
stages OF civilization. Why, then, are
so many poor, bad and Indifferent
roads tolerated, year after year, and
decade after decade, by communi-
ties well able 10 pay for their proper
improvement? One reason Is that the
first cost looks formidable. and there
are differences OF opinion as to who

lack OF knowledge and system in
