Warm print of kisses there ere she

At first-and then o'ertake her as

factory made about 29,O00,0OO
pounds or 100000 sacks of refined
sugar. To do this more than $780,
600, 900 pounds of sugar beets were
refined. Four hundred men we're
employed continuously at the fac
tory and ten cars of coal daily, were
consumed during the time the fac
tory was IN operation.
The quality of the beets this year
was below the average, due to the
rain in the fall While the quality
was little "off" the average ton
nege per acre was the largest in the
history Of the sugar beet industry in
the valley. In an early issue we
hope to publish list of the most
successful growers which will show
that the Rocky Ford country leads
the world in the production of sugar
heets.
The acreage for the present year
promises to exceed that of last. Ex-
tensive plans are being made to se-
sure an ample amount of field work
for the coming season.
The company has arranged for the
erection of eighty houses for tenants
on its lands where sugar beets will
be planted and will put under Guilt
walton all OF it's extensive holding of
land.
The Santa Fe railroad has banded
the entire output of the factory and
will be busy from now on doing 80.
Besides that 1t has taken to the fac
tory all the fuel, limerick and other
provisions needed for the refining of
sugar.
Thousands of cattle and sheep
have been fed on the beet pulp and
fattened ready for market. The
Lockhart Live Stock Co. has 1000
cattle and 5000 sheep using pulp as
a part of the fattening ration in their
model feeding yards adjoining the
factory grounds.
The work of cleaning the factory
is now in progress, every piece OF
machinery wi be carefully cleaned
by hand. Then it will be replaced
and the machinery painted to keep
it from rusting In this manner it
is kept until time to start the next
seasons csmpaign.-Rocky Ford

One opponen, Of a Good Bill.

It appears that one Of the chief
opponents Of Congressman Brooks
homestead bill, to aid in the settle
ment of eastern Cororado, is George
H. Maxwell, who has succeeded in
impressing his views upon one or
more congressman.
Maxwell is the man who admitted
receiving about $4,000 from various
railway corporations, ostensibly for
the purpose of favoring irrigation
through a magazine which he pub
fishes. He is commonly believed to
be in the pay of railway companies,
IS an agent for the sale of their
lands.
At any rate he is an active oppon.
ent of the sale by the government OF
any more of its lands under the
homestead act, and it is clear that il
he carried his point with the con-
gressmen the prospective home
seekers would be obliged to buy land
of the railway land companies which
have been given large grants which
they are anxious to get rid of.
We do not believe that Mr.. Max
we'll is entirely unbiased in the mat
ter and congress has shown wisdom
in the past in refusing to listen to
him. It is to be hoped thst Con-
gresham Brooks bill will be passed
at this session, as it will undoubted
ly be very beneficial in the settle
ment of eastern Colorado.-Colora-

lowly up to the better level, opening
to all the equal opportunities Of q
broad citizenship.
How far any man is essential in
the march of humanity is as much a
mystery as is the goal to which crea
ton tends. But history will say
that, if any leadership can be called
necessary, then Washington, in
founding the Union, and Lincoln, in
preserving it were indispensable
men, placed in command by the deep
logic of events and the instructive
perception of their fellow country
men. A lesson is conveyed by view
ing the two men together. Wash
ington belonged to what is called
the patrician class, though the word
is out of its bearings among Ameri-
cans, Lincoln was the child of the
ruggedest poverty. Yet the two
performed the noblest, most invalu
able service to what has become the
first of modern nations. The rich
planter with his thousands of acres,
and the frontier laborer with nothing
but his az aad wedge, stand on the
same pedestal of lofty usefulness and
achievement in the annals of the
United States, and will go down the
ages as patriots of the same mould.

Grinding On.

Once more it seems worth while to
call attention to the remarkable re-
vival of justice in the city of Denver
as shown by the conviction of cleo
tion thieves.
On Wednesday, the notorious
"Billy" Green, long known as the
ruler of a section of the city, and
one of the most blatant and AFRO
ant offenders of them all, against the
suffrage, has decided to plead guilty
and take his sentence of 80 days in
Jail. Judge johnson told him that
he deserved more, which he undoubt-
edly did, but that he would give him
. chance to assert his manhood and
become q useful citizen.
After all, it is not 80 much the
size of the sentence, especially at
this, the first offense upon which
conviction has been secured, but 1T is
the fact that the men have been
found guilty and actually made to

Defense Of tho Kansas Case.

Much hard and well-directed work
has been done by Attorney General
Miller, the associate counsel, State
engineer Carpenter and others in
preparing the defense to the suit
brought by Kansas against this state
to test the right of our people to di-
vert water from the Colorado part of
the Arkansas river for the purpose of
irrigation.
Last year a great deal Of time was
occupied in collecting documentary
and historical evidence in relation
to the flow of water in the Arkansas
prior to the beginning of irrigation
on an extensive scale, and later in
taking the testimony of witnesses
upon this subject and also upon the
effect of irrigation. State Engineer
Carpenter made numerous valuable
Investigations, the results OF which
have been in part recorded in his
testimony.
Some Of the attorneys employed
have as yet received but little, if any
compensation, although they have in
a large measure been compelled to
abandon their private practice in
order to give their time to this i'm.
portant case. These gentlemen must
be paid, further testimony must
be taken and further Investigations
made. The enormous mass of testi-
mony recorded will have to be con
densed and presented in a form to
show the court of what it consists.
Briefs will have to be prepared and
oral arguments Of both law and fact
will have to be made before the
court.
The Lamar register., 1905-02-15

All this will require large amount
of money, and the legislature should
promptly make the requisite apPro-
priation. 1t has been estimated that
for this purpose $4,000 will be
needed.
II there be any truth in the prop
osition that the republic spend mil
lions upon the construction of navy
and in the erection of Notifications
along our coasts as defense against
foreign war, then there is truth in
the proposition that Colorado should
strain itself, if necessary, to make an
adequate defense to the suit brought
by Kansas. Not against an armed
enemy, but against the insidious ap-
proach of more dangerous foe we
should guard our interests. The
life of our agriculture is in the water
OF our streams. Unless the right to
divert that water for beneficial use is
upheld, agriculture in Colorado must
die, and with it will perish some of
our most cherished hopes for the
future.
Benign, when IN an is permitted to
reclaim the valleys and plains from
aridity, delightful then beyo ond the
power of speech to express, the eli
mate is nevertheless as relentless as
the fate which decreed Tantslus to
suffer the pangs Of unquenched
thirst within sight of springs of liv-
ing water. Once established, irri-
gated agriculture is constant strug-
gle to retain what has been wrested
from the grasp of the desert. EN-
pires were established in ancient
times upon agriculture dependent
upon irrigation, only to perish when
the bitches were permitted to fall
into decay and the water was no
longer Withdrawn from the streams.
So the action brought by Kansas is
blow at the life OF this state, and it
is only purblind ignorance that can
fail to see the deep Significance of
this litigation.-Denver Republican.

Tho Leaders Of His Era.

Ninety six years ago today Abra-'
ham Lincoln WAS born. His great
est monument is not in granite, but
in his share of what was done to pre-
served the American Union. All
that this nation represents today as
unit among enlightened countries Is
due to the mastery of the crisis that
came upon it IN the form of terrible
war and shook it to the foundations.
Above everything, Lincoln's work
was to save the government from dis
ruption, and that alone could enable
it to fulfill the destiny that it pur-
sues today while the world looks on
and wonders al its advancement.
Lincoln would have stood by the
Union even if slavery survived,
though he realized with clear vision
the evils of that system, now happily
under the ban wherever there is civ
ilization. As far as the United
States is a beacon light among the
races of men, a model that may, by
example, lift them all, the fact is due
to the guiding strength of Lincoln
through long period of vital dang
or. Whatever this nation may be
come, the image of Lincoln at the
helm through the awful time of civil
strife must eyer remain in the fore
ground, and as the country moves
onward, one and indivisible, its name
and his fame must necessarily be
linked together.
There are many points of view
from which the character of Lincoln
may be profitably studied. His sim
pie, innate honesty was one of his
towering elements of strength. His
life was an embodiment of the gold
en- rule regulated by the genius of
common sense. He was, within due
bounds, a man of sentiment, but his
kindly feeling and sympathy were
subordinated to judgment. He was
not a sentimentalist. All through
his life his chosen place was among
the ranks of his fellow creatures, and
he sought nothing for himself that
he did not freely offer to them. The
government of the people, by the
people, for the people, was always
living fact to him. With all his
high qualities, he planned no ambi-
tious niche, no lions portion for him
self What free government rep
resented to others was good enough
for him, and if he had more freedom
than another he sought to bring the

The moral effect Of these convic-

supposed that their adoption has been
universal, for there are still many parts
of the country in which sugar is pro-
duced only in small way, and almost
every form of sugar making, even the
primitive may yet be found. Many
eaters of maple sugar, as a matter of
fact, prefer the coarser open kettle
sugar to the smooth, delicately favored
sugar produced by improved evapora-
ton. The former is darker in color and
stronger in the maple taste. Honest pro-
ducers endeavor to market their sugar
and syrup direct or through the asso-
Citations, instead of selling it to whole
salers, who, as a rule, mix it with glu-
cose and other adulterants.
The New England States are the
greatest producers, Vermont heading
the list with an average annual pFpduc-
ton of about 10,Oe0,0O0 pounds of
sugar and 100000 gallons of syrup.

Many Miles Shorter.

The time is perhaps not distant when
engineers will cut a canal through the
base of the Michigan peninsula and
thus couple up Lake Huron and Lake
Michigan. A ditch 155 miles would re-
duce by $50 miles the all-water route
between Buffalo and Chicago. The
route across the Michigan peninsula
which has been suggested lies from To
ledo on the east to South Haven on
the west. The topography of the land
presents none of the great obstacles
which were overcome in the Erie,
Chesapeake and Ohio and other great
American canals. The commerce of the
Great Lakes is vast enough to deserve
all the short cuts which engineering
skill and wealth can command.
