Port Must Soon Fall.

ten by q man on board the battleshiI
Sevastopol, which had fallen into the
hands of the Japanese. The writer de
spairs of the relief Of the fortress, and
tells of the destruction wrought by Jap

He says the Russians are resigned te
their fate and are determined to fight
to finish rather than suffer the shame
of surrender owing to starvation. Fol

THE fortress cannot resist after De

Irresistible.

of the town, however strong the other

The new town is at the mercy OF
the enemy's fire. The old town alone
is defendable, and here alone may re

"Two-thirds of the defenders of 203
Metre hill were lost.
"The Sevastopol, which was exposed
to the enemy's fire in the day time, on
the night of December 9Th, without be.

nets down, but was struck twice by
the enemy's torpedoes and was

Railroad Cases.

Voluminous records in the case OF

against the Southern Pacific, the
Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe. the
Santa Fe Pacific and the Southern Cal
ifornia railway were filed In the Su-
preme Court of the United States De
cember 9th.
The litigation is known as the citrus
fruit case. which was decided ad-
versely to the railroads by Judge Well
born OF the Ninth circuit last Septem-
Der. The company then appealed TO
the Supreme Court.
Shippers of fruits from southern
California complained to the Interstate
Commerce Commission that the rail
roads insisted they had the right to
route fruit shipments over eastern
roads of their own selection.
The commission decided that the
shippers had the right to select the
routes over which their shipments
would be made. The railroads also
were ordered to display to the public
their rates for the transportation of
fruits. The Circuit Court sustained
these orders.

Peace Conference.

That the further interchange of
views preparatory to the formulating

gestion offered by Secretary Hay in a
second circular note to the powers,
made public at the State Department.
The note was dispatched a week ago
but its publication was withheld until
it had reached the various American
embassies and legations abroad. The
secretary summarizes the replies of all
the powers to his note of October 21st
and expresses the qualification of the
President at the cordial reception of
his invitation.

he has gone as far as he appropriately
can, and that with the general accept
ance of his invitation in principle, "the
future conduct of the affair may fifty
follow its normal channels"

that while the postponement which
this reply necessitates is to be re-

New Sugar Factories.

By the opening of the next sugar
campaign in the fall of this year. two
more Colorado factories will be ready
to begin slicing beets. The American
Sugar Beet Company, which built the
plant at Sugar City. and is owned by
the Oxnards, has already begun the
construction OF plant at Lamar.
Machinery for the Lamar factory is
to be brought from an abandoned
plant at Norfolk, Nebraska, which the
Oxnards own. They find that Colo
rado Is much superior to Nebraska for
growing sugar beets.
Lamar farmers for several years
have been raising beets which they
have shipped to the Rocky Ford fac
tory. With the. building of this new
factory the Rocky Ford plant will be
relieved OF part Of its burden and
the farmers OF that section will be
able to plant and dispose OF larger
acreage at home. The Lamar farm
ers have contracted with the com
pany to grow 1000 acres for the next
five years. They marketed some 30,-
900 tons OF beets at Rocky Ford the
past year.
