Many Delegates Present.
Vancouver belongs to the Odd Fell
lows this week. While a few Of the
advance guard arrived Saturday eve
ming, it was not until yesterday that
the committee in charge of the work
of assignment of the visitors began to
fully realize the magnitude of the task
in hand. The majority of the delegates
came by way Of Portland, and the ar
rival of every ferry from that city sig
nalized a rush, until before night had
passed accommodations had been fur
nished for at least 500. With the OPEN
ing Of travel the incoming of the Wis
itors was resumed, and it is the esti-
fo of kbo
that at least $50 Odd Fellows will
spend the week in Vancouver. The
first four days of the week will be busy
ones with the delegates, after which
time business will be given up for
pleasure, the remainder of the time

making total of 155 lodges in active
working order at the end of the year.
These have total membership of
10,95O, of whom 1882 are brothers Of
the order, and 6468 sisters. The finan-
cial condition Of the assembly is equal
ly good. there being balance of 1924
in the hands Of the treasurer, as
against 1868 at the close Of the pre-

THE SESSION LAWS ARE STILL
IN THE HANDS OF THE
STATE PRINTER
HOUSE and Senate Journals Have Not
Been Teuehsd-spol<ans Has 4
Sub. Contract.

Session laws that should have been
issued Monday night will not be out Of
the hands of the state printer for q
month; the senate Journal that is usu-
ally distributed at the beginning Of
June is as yet untouched and the house.
journal is an uncertain thing.
Aside from the fact that the state
printer is presumed to get out these
state publications on time, it is dim
cult to fix the responsibility. TIE
work is being done in Spokane. under
a sub-contract. and the Spokane print,
ers declare the proof reading delays
the session laws. The secretary of
states Office insists the proof is being
read as rapidly as furnished, says the
Seattle Times.
The long delay over the appointment
of a state printer had a great deal to
do with the delay. though two years
ago the contract was not let until
about the same time and the publica-
ton work was hurried through approx
imately on time. This year Governor
Mead held up the appointment of a
state printer, VINO should have had the
copy in hand Immediately after legis-
lature adjournment, and this loss Of
time is telling now in the delays in the
delivery of books
Taking Care Of CORDIALLY
BY prior agreement between c. W.
Gorham, the new state printer, and
the Inland Printing company Of Spo-
kane. the work is being done in that
Office instead of by the state printer.
A chance remark that the state printer
has made, to the effect that he has
now discovered he could have done the
work himself, indicates a misunder-
standing at the outset. But that is fax
from the real circumstance.
The Inland Printing company is do
ing the work on the books to appease
Gordon c. Corbalay, one of the applt-
cants for the position of state printer.
He is a member of the printing COM
bine that was pledged the position by
Governor Mead, and when P. l.. Allen.
Of Seattle, drew out of the fight on his
own account, Mr.. Corbalay carried
Senator Piles endorsement.
There is a great deal in the turn
down of the combine and and Cor
hams selection that has never been
explained, and this deal with Corbalay
is a part of it. The original intention
of the governor was to pay Gorham q
salary and to farm out the state print
ing.
German made trouble when the
governor turned him down. The plan
of paying German salary and taking
chances on share of the the printing
contract did not appeal to COrbalay
and he demanded something better.
To keep him in a good humor the In
land Printing company was given the
sub-contracts for printing the session
laws, house and senate journals.
It took time to work out this settle
ment, and the work of the printers
was held up for a corresponding length
Of time. Now. copy has to 30 from
Olympia to Spokane and proofs mailed
across the state for revision. This Ia
the reason given for delays.

Naval Experts Amazed
Now, that most of the facts have
come out, naval men and government
officials, from President Roosevelt
down, are more than ever amazed at
the results attained by the Japanese.
The men of Nippon are now the ma
val leaders of the world. The experts
of all countries are sitting at their
feet.
Incidentally, the American navy is
at fault and liable to severe criticism
because it has not sent men to the far
east to study the action on the sea and
profit thereby. Some other nations have
been forehanded in this and nave gain
ed a distinct advantage over the United
States.
Most Astounding Fact.
Perhaps the most astounding fact
involved in the war is this: Since the
outbreak Of hostilities the Japanese
have neither built nor bought war
ships. yet their fighting line is now
stronger than it was at the beginning
of the war. In other words, they have
taken from the enemy more in ton
mage, in guns, in actual value, than
they have lost from all causes during
the war. And meanwhile they have an
initiated the naval power of their en-
envy. Such an achievement as this
eclipses everything known to naval
annals.

Before u franchise is granted, the

farorably acted upon by the voters of
the town. and We believe further that
the matter should be considered at the

that the town is badly in need Of a

The Beet Sugar Industry.

There is no occasion to become eX.
cited over the future Of the beet sugar
industry and the danger of competi-
tion with the Philippines. Compare
lively little sugar is exported from
Porto Rico and almost none ut all from
the Philippines.
What the possibilities OF sugar pro-
duction in the Philippine islands
might be under more favorable cOndi-
tiOnS than those which now prevail is
not matter to be considered. The
fact is that agriculture in the Philip
pines is ut so low II stage that it will
be many years before it iS sufficiently
developed to make the export Of sugar
factor of importance in the world 3
| commerce.
The natives of the archipelago are too
| indolent and too low In their ildividu-
al development to operate extensive
( sugar plantations. and capital will not
venture into such il cUulitr; to engage
| in the sugar industry until more as-
sured of >nccees than it can be 1T the
present time.
The beet sugar industry has been
established in Colorado and other
parts of the United States by men
who are thoroughly informed in regard
to the problems OF sugar production
and consumption. They have statiS-
ties showing how much sugar is con-
sumcd in the world and at what rate
its consumption is increasing. They
know The sources Of supply and they
are fully informed in regard to the
conditions under which cane sugar
can be produced in the Philippines, in
Porto Rico and in other parts of the
tropics We may ccpend upon it that
| they would not have gone SO extensive
ly into The business if they had not
felt entirely assured Of Il prosperous
future.
Beet sugar can be produced under
more favorable conditions in Colorado
| than anywhere else in the world. and
if the industry is to fail here it is
doomed to destruction everywhere
else. We know it will of necessity
continue. because the demand for sug.
ar is increasing So rapidly that it takes
all that the beet sugar producers aud
the cane sugar manufacturers can do
to supply the markets Of this and 9th.

New Railroad Lines Projected.

Last Friday George Davis. the civil
engineer in charge of the work of sur
veying the Union Pacific cutoI be-
tween Bigsprlng and Chappeii, receiv-
ed orders from his superiors ~ stop
the work and report in Omaha for
further orders. MIR. Davis went 70
Orlaha Saturday and received orders
u move his men to the vicinity OF
Oshkosh, on the North Platte river,
aud start work upon Il line OF road the
company proposes tn build from North
Platte. Nebraska. to Guernsey, Uyo-
ming. lie returned " Julesburg Sum
.iar night and drUve to Oshkosh with
his outiit Monday. IL would, there
fore, seem thai the railroad officials
have abandoned their plan to build
the Bigspring Chappell cutoff, for the
present at Ieast. and that they intend
10 devote their attention 70 building A
line up the North Platte valley into
tho co;ii and iron fields OF Wyoming.
This sudden change in the plan, Of
the Union Pacific company is no doubt
,tlle 10 the fact that the Burlington
railroad company is preparing To build
a line from kearney to Bridgeport,
Nebraska. connecting at that place
with that roads line To Guernsey.
Wyoming. The contracts for this line
have already been let and the construc
ton will be commenced at once. 1t is
therefore practically certain that the
North Platte valley will secure al least
one railroad, and possibly two.
The people who live in Julesburg
and vicinity look with eQuanimity up
IN The preparations now being made
by the Burlington and Union Pacific
10 build into the North Platte valley.
We are sufficiently charitable to our
nelghbOrS on the north to hope that
.ne, or both, Of the roads will build
into that country. Besides road up
that valley would ia no wise injure
IuleSburg.
However. u rumor that has gained
considerable circulation through the
daily press during the last few days
has caused some Of w to sit up and
take notice This rumor Is to the ef-
feet that the Great Northern railroad
company proposes to build line from
UNeil. Nebraska. to Denver. Should
thi, line be bnilt it, will run in u south
westerly course from ONeil aud will
pass directly through Julesburg and
on up the South Platte valley to Den.
YER. The building of this line would
ne OF great benefit to this section. and
it is quite probable that it will bu
built. Julesburg will then be the
junction point of two big railroad sys'
fems, and will rapidly develop into
the best town in Colorado.
Let the good work go on.
