Sugar Beet Company Is to Build q
Railroad in Colorado.

Sugar Beet Company Is to Build q
Railroad in Colorado.
Rocky Ford. Col, Jan. 5.-An-
nouncement has been made by the Of
icers of the American Beet Sugar
company of this place to the farmers
of the Holbrook district and Rocky
Ford of their intention to build board
of trade railroad from Rocky Ford to
Horse creek, a distance of fifteen miles
northeast of here with the ultimate in
tentiOn of extending the line to Lamar,
side of the Arkansas river.
This news is hailed with joy by
! everyone interested in the develop
ment of the Rocky Ford district, as it
means the reclamation of thousands
Of acres Of fertile land which has here
tofore been devoted to alfalfa and
grains, To the more remunerative pro-
| duction of sugar beets and other in-
tensive farming
The American Beet Sugar company
since beginning operations here in
1900, has held out assurances to the
I farmers especially of the HOIbrook
district, large section of farming land
under irrigation northeast of Rocky
Ford that ultimately it would build q
railroad into their section, thus max
| ing it possible for them to enjoy the
profit of beet growing. which, up to
this time, has been denied them on ac-
count of the long haul to a factory
or beet dump. The company has al
ready prepared surveys and estimates
of construction.
Manager Frederick Weitzer stated
that work would be commenced as
soon as the weather permitted, and
Will require the expenditure of $1,000
600. He says the road will be ready for
| traffic in time to haul the beet crop Of
1906 and would be kept in constant
| operation throughout the year. Farm
| ers in the HOlbrook district are natur-
ola qss.t-
ance of having their fertile acres dou-
bled and trebled in value and the bust
ness men of Rocky Ford realize that
their trade territory is likewise to be
| practically trebled. The American
| Beet Sugar company has already in
vested several million dollars here.

PRIVATE FREIGHT CARS
Are Defended Vigorously by j. Ogden
Armour.

Are Defended vigorously by J. Ogden
Armour.
A vigorous defense of the private
freight car system against recent
charges of rebating and extortIon IS
made by ]. ogden Armour in an
article this week in the Saturday
Evening Post Copyright, 1906, by the
Curtis Publishing company: me
article is the first of six in which Mr..
Armour will present the packers, slde
of the questions relative to their ousl-
ness. which are now before the pubic.
Briefly summarized, Mr. Armour S
statement of the private car question
is as follows;
Refrigerator cars were built by prl-
vate capital first because the railroads
refused to build them.
It would be impractical for railways
to operate refrigerator cars today by
virtue of the peculiar expansion OF the
business and its present vast expense
of maintenance.
The opposition to the private car
lines originates not with the fruit
growers but with the commission men,
who no longer are enabled to plumber
the growers.
The Armour private cars have never
been operated as a device to secure
rebates since the prohibitive law
against rebates went into effect
The charges for refrigeration are
reasonable and moderate, considering
the cost of icing on a wholesale scale
and the hazards of the business

agreement entered into April Il, 1904
by which the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco acquired the traffic of the other
