SUGAR FACTORY FOR BRUSH.
Citizens Celebrate the Success Of the
Project.

Denver, Sept. IA News special
from Brush last night says: To-day
has been the gala day in Brush. One
year ago the Chamber of Commerce
entered into contract with the West
ern Sugar Company to grow 1,5OO acres
of sugar beets in 1905 and $500 in the
years of 1906 and 1907
The sugar company guaranteed the
erection of a sugar factory to be COM
pleted in time to handle the crops of
1906 The soliciting committee of the
Chamber of Commerce during the last
week secured the necessary acreage
with an additional plot of $40 acres.
In addition to the above acreage they
have 1000 acres subscribed by set
tlement of German farmers in the east
ern portion of the county. provided
that switch or stub railroad is
built into their settlement, which is
located about seven miles northeast of
here The matter has been taken up
with the Burlington railway and the
sugar beet company. and indications
are favorable for the building of the
branch.
The Chamber of Commerce gave a
free barbecue to-day to the 200 farm
ers who have subscribed the acreage.
The dinner was served in Knearl,s
opera house and the entire citizenship
tributary to Brush were present. The
general field superintendent for the
sugar company. Frank Secor, is here
and has personally examined every
acre OF beets grown this year and un-
hesitatingly pronounces the sugar
beets grown in this section the best
in the state.
This acreage only requires sixteen
acres of beets to be grown on each $50
acres of land. and thus allowing plenty
OF chance for the rotation of crops.
The worth of the crop now growing on
the 800 acres is variously estimated
from 100000 to s150,O00.

Our Enormous Egg Crop.

The egg and poultry earnings of the
United States for one recent year
amounted to $2SO.O0O.O0O. Such an.
amount is sufficiently amazing, as it
stands, but you don't get its full sig
nificance until you study the relative
financial values of other ''industrials."
We find, for instance, that the total
value of the gold. silver. wool and
sheep produced in America during the
year in question was s272,434.3-5. The
sugar production of the country the
same year was but s20,000.0oo. The
part of the wheat crop used at home'
which many consider the most valuable
of All our agricultural products, was
worth $229,000,000. The great Ameri-
can hog. as consumed at home and
abroad brought $1S5, ,529,035. The value
of the oat crop was $7s,9S4,900. Pota-
toes grown in the United States were
valued at nearly as large sum as
were the oats. The product of tobacco
plantations was estimated to be worth
$35,579,225. Cotton, the dethroned
king of staples, could show only $685.
161,6 $40. as against the magnificent
earnings of it's feathered rival.

RRYAN's PEACE PLAN.
Suggested to President Roosevelt In a
Personal Letter.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. ia letter ad-
dressed to President Roosevelt from
w. ]. Bryan in which plan for per-
manent peace is suggested, was made
public here Thursday evening. MIR.
Bryan congratulates the President on
his success in bringing Russia and
Japan together, and says:
"Why not ask Congress for authority
to submit all international questions
(when agreement cannot be reached
by parties interested) to an impartial
board for investigation and report. In
vestigation will in nearly every case
remove the cause of complaint and
reconcile the parties. Questions which
a nation might be unwilling to submit
to arbitration in advance could be set
tied by investigation by an impartial
international board.
"It was glorious thing to end the
war between the Russian and the Jap
anese nations, but 1t would have been
more glorious to have prevented the
war and saved the frightful loss of
life. The moral prestige which our
nation now enjoys would In all prob
ability enable 1t to lead a successful
peace movement.
"The congratulations which you have
received from the heads of European
governments strengthen the chances
of success. If the leading nations OF
the world would enter into an agree
ment and join in the creation of such
board and pledge themselves to sub
nit all disputes to the board for inyes
tigation before declaring war, the dan
ger of war would be reduced to min
imum. Few men have had it in tbeir
power to do SO much for humanity

of 46 to 10. the American Board OF
Commissioners for Foreign Missions

This vote was not taken, however, UNI
til the question had been threshed out
in all its phases and the leading Con

PACKING HOUSE SALE.
TRUST TO BUY DENVER PLANTS
Reported Negotiations for Purchase OF
Denver stockyards and Packing
kouse Plants

Reported Negotiations Tor Furchass o'
Denver stockyards and Packing
House Plants.
Denver, Sept. 1S.-Denver is TO De
the great packing and distributing
point for the entire Western country,
If a persistent report is confirmed
This report connects the names OIL the
big combination known as the packing
trust with the purchase of the TWO
Denver packing plants and the Denver
stock yards. Stockholders OF the
Denver plants deny that they have
been sold, but that is not final, because
1t is customary for business men while
conducting negotiations Of the magni-
tude Of this one, to keep their own
council. The deal II concluded IN.
wolves more than million dollars and
will make Denver the big stock center
OF the West.
The Combination known as the pack
ing trust Is composed Of the Nelson
Morris Company, the Armour Com
pany, Swift & Company. and Swartz-
child g. Sulzberger. They have es-
tablished large plants at Chicago,
Omaha, Kansas City and st. Joseph.
1t is known that for good many years
they have been considering the advisa-
bility OF getting foothold In Denver,
because of the advantage offered as
shipping point. At present the com
papies ship stock the 500 miles be-
tween here and Missouri river points,
slaughter 1t and then ship the meat
back. They are thus compelled to
maintain double cold storage plants
as well as meeting the freight each
way.
Denver has two large packing es-
tablisments. The Oldest is the Colo
rado Packing Company, established
some fifteen years ago, which has
gradually been growing until 1t has
plant of considerable capacity. The
size of plant is estimated by its stor-
age capacity. This plant has ca
pacity of 800 cattle and 1900 hogs and
perhaps half as many sheep per day
A conservative estimate puts the value
of the plant, with buildings and stock
on hand at $750,000. The large stock,
holders are Henry Gebhard, Dennis
Sullivan, Alfred Buffers. ]. A. Thatcher
and other local capitalists.
Several years ago the Western Pack
ing Company came into the field, or
ganized and built new from the ground
up. 1t was created by Colorado men
who thought they saw field for an in
dependent company at this point
They built modern plant at cost OF
$75O,000 which has since increased.
Among those who put in their money
were Charles Boettcher, Col. d. G.
Dodge, Charles J. Hughes, Jr., and
others. That their judgment was cor
rect is proved by the fact that the
plant has made money.
The Western Packing Company has
capacity of 1000 hogs. 5000 cattle
and 1000 sheep, slaughtered and
stored per day: The plant consists
of two large buildings for slaughter
ing, cold storage plant five stories
in height an expensive ice plant, fer.
tilizing house, etc.

HOT SULPHUR SPRINGS
WELCOMES DENVER EXCURSION.
Opening Of Moffat Road Celebrated by
Advent Of Hundreds Of De-
Iiohted Visitors.

Denver. Sept. 16.-It required two
long trains. heavily laden, to transport
the large crowd of excursionists over
the Moffat road to Hot Sulphur
Springs yesterday to be present at the
exercises In honor of the advent of
the Moffat road into the Springs. 1t
was a most representative crowd and
each and every one OF them were il
the best of spirits.
The Second Regiment Band accom-
panied the excursion and during the
wait for the train 1t played number
OF popular airs much to the delight of
the crowd. There were large num-
ber OF the fair sex In the crowd and all
were animated in the expectation Of en-
gaging in a SNOWFALL fight in midsum-
mer at the summit OF the continental
divide where the trains stopped for a
short interval to allow the passengers
to indulge themselves. :.
On the first train there was one car
that did not carry passenger, but
nevertheless 1t was well loaded. 1t
carried the provisions to augment the
barbecue that awaited the excursion
lists on their arrival at Hot Springs.
The provisions were supplied by the
Chamber of Commerce. under whose
auspices the days functions were held.
1t was estimated that fully 1000 per-
sons sat down to the barbecue.
The energetic citizens of the honored
city were full of enthusiasm. 1t could
not be expressed in an ordinary way,
but had to be brought out quick and
strong. Dynamite was the only re-
source in this emergency. So when
the smiling visitors came gliding over
the bright, new rails into the place
they were greeted with the resoundins
roar of high explosives. Some of them
were badly frightened, not being &C.
'customed to the unrestrained fervor Of
a new city. A window glasz in the
excursion train crashed to pieces, but
this was the only serious outcome Of
the Joyous welcome.
The visitors were escorted imme-
diately to the barbecue. where they
were feasted upon roast oxen and
other substantial edibles.
The day was not only memorable
one for the people of Grand county, but
also for the officials of the Moffat road,
for it marked another milestone In
the history of the road. 1t was their
entrance into Hot Sulphur Springs on
their way to Salt Lake. Construction
gangs have been working on the road
bed all summer and they worked
through country that heard the toot
of the locomotive for almost the first
time yesterday.
Hot Sulphur Springs is twenty-four
miles beyond Arrowhead, the former
terminus of the road, and ITO miles
from Denver by rail. The springs
there have wonderful medicinal quail
ties and it is expected that it will be-
come a great resort. 1t will also be
great railroad town as it will be the
end of the first division on the Moffat
road No wonder then the people of
that place went wild with joy over the
abyapt of the first train

NEW RAILROAD SURVEY.
Mystery Connected with Projected
Line Over Sangre de Cristo
EanQe,

Denver, Sept. 17.-San Luis valley
people, says the Republican, are much
interested in some mysterious survey
ing which is being carried on in their
country, with the evident purpose in
view of building railroad which Will
cross the continental divide in new
place.
The surveyors, who refuse to state
their connection with any railroad,
started some time ago from Durango
and have worked up the San Juan river
to the neighborhood of Platoro, cross
ing near the head of the Conejos river
and some twenty miles north OF Ala
mosa. A one and one-half per cent.
grade was located up Mosca pass. but
that was made up largely of bridges
and tunnels and was afterwards aban-
doned Then another grade was made
up Medano pass in the Sangre de Girls
to mountains. The survey then ex.
tends down through the Wet Mountain
valley to the st. Charles river and
over toward Beulah.
Several theories have been advanced
as to the nature of the work and who
is behind it. 1t has been charged to
the Rock Island and the Denver & Rio
Grande roads, neither of which will ad-
init their connection with 1t. That the
work is to be made permanent, how
ever, seems certain. The surveyors
are buying more horses and outfits all
the time and evidently have no inten-
tion of ceasing work.
The San Luis valley people generally
think the survey is being conducted by
the Rock Island railroad, and that the
present work is to establish new
crossing of the great divide. Later, 1t
is claimed, the Rock Island will build
from the st. Charles river to Pueblo
and at the Durango terminal will be-
gin the long task of building on west
ward to Los Angeles. 1t is contended
that some one has finally figured out
way of getting through the
grand canon of the Colorado to the
west, feat which has puzzled railway
engineers for many years.
In favor of the Rock Island theory it
is said that the coal regions of Dur
ango have long needed an outlet to
the coast and that this system has
been desirous of furnishing 1t. Theor-
etical railroad building has long been
charged up to the Rock Island route.
Another theory is that the surveying
being done has particular reference to
the Wet Mountain district and its prod
ucts. Denver railroad men generally
say they know nothing of the work be-
ing done and scout at all theories pre-.
sented.

Congregational Church Board Meeting
at Seattle,

Seattle. WASH, Sept. 16.-The ninety
sixth annual meeting of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions of the Congregational Church
opened here Thursday.
Treasurer Frank H. Wiggin read the
report of the treasury department as
follows:
The total receipts for the year end
ing Aug. 31st were 1881 Not in
cluded in this amount, because given
for a specified purpose, was the gift OF
s55 900 from John d. Rockefeller in
part payment of pledge of 100000
for educational work for institutions
allied with the board. Treated in the
same way was gift of $4,000 from MI.
frank Vanderpool for new building
in connection with St. Poul's Insti-
tute at Tarsus. If these two sums
were added, the total amount from
the receipts would be sS12,149.
The total disbursements. including
the gift of Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr..
Vanderpool were $905,939, and the ex-
cess of expenditures above receipts
was $153.790, which added to the debt
of the previous year of s22,737, makes
debt carried over to the account OF
the new year of $176.527.
The cost of maintaining the work
abroad has been materially increased
the necessity for part of the increase
being unavoidable, as it could not be
| foreseen.
The amount of conditional gifts re
ceived was S34,730, the conditional gift
fund, now amounting to $i91.713. q
growth of $29. 9.430. The twentieth cen
tury fund now amounts to $136,17S
and unpaid pledges are in hand which
will swell it to about $144.O00.

life INSURANCE CASH
AIDED REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN

Vice President Of New York Life In
suranee Company Testifles That
He Gave Money to Help Republican
Party.
New York, Sept. 16.-George W. Per
kins, member of the firm of ]. P. Nor
gan & Co., and first vice president OF
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, was the star witness at yester-
days session of the special legislative
committee probing life insurance COM
panies' methods, and his testimony
was replete with revelations in the de-
velopments of finance as applied by in
surance companies.
The climax of the day came when
Mr.. Perkins was asked concerning an
entry of $4S.706 In ledger. marked
ordered paid by the president"
The check was made out payable to
]. P. Morgan & Co., and Mr.. Perkins
frankly stated 1t was contribution to
the national Republican committee.
and had been paid to Cornelius N.
Bliss. Mr.. Perkins said:
This payment was made after very
careful deliberations. 1t must not be
considered an ordinary contribution to
the campaign fund. 1t was paid be-
cause we felt that the assets OF the
New York Life would be jeopardized
by a Democratic success"
Mr.. Perkins said contributions were
also made in 1900 and in 1896.
This bomb caused a murmur of con-
versation about the room. which had
become packed with spectators. Stand
ing room was at premium, and every
one bent forward to catch the testi-
mony.
Pursuing the inquiry further, Mr..
Hughes brought out that this expendi-
ture was never brought to the atten-
ton of the finance committee, the wit
ness terming 1t a purely executive ac-
tion." 1t was charged against cash on
the books of the Hanover bank office,
or financial department.
Mr.. Perkins here interposed: Il
would like to make one statement. The
fact that the check is drawn to ]. p.
Morgan & Co. has no significance. l
paid out the money and it was merely
because of convenience OF repay
ment that the check was made pay
able to ]. P. Morgan & Co."
What other contributions to polit-
ical campaign funds have been made
by the New York Life?"
None to my knowledge"
Senator Armstrong queried about
the $4S.00O check to the campaign
fund. He asked: Were you in po-
sition to know of other campaign con-
tributions?"
81 don't know: that is a question
that ought to be looked into. All CAM
paign contributors should be given
the widest publicity. They ought to be
publicly known, and there ought to bo
law passed to that effect"

HONEST PHYSICIAN.
Works with Himself First.


1t is a mistake to assume that ply
sicians are always skeptical as to the
curative properties of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use
of drugs as possible and by the use
of correct food and drink. A physi-
clan writes from Calf. to tell how he
