FORT COLLINS SUGAR.
Sugar Company viii Pay Out Over a
Million Dollars.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Fort Collins says: Since December LIST
the Fort Collins sugar factory has
paiu out for sugar beets and for sal
aries and wages of employees over $780,
900. and since the sugar campaign has
been opened, September 25th, over
100000. Another payment of beet
will fall due January 18th, when it is
expected 100000 more will be paid
out, making over 100000 which the
factory will have put into circulation
by that time.
There are yet at least 10000 tons of
beets at the various dumps and in the
fields to be delivered to the factory
and the sugar making campaign Will
probably not end before March list.
Chester Iddings, one of the success
full farmers of the Cache La Poudre
valley, last spring planted eighty
four acres to sugar beets. He har-
vested his crop, 1900 tons, and had it
ali delivered before December list, and
December 18th received a check for
$4,000. His beets averaged 21.4 tons
to the acre. Deducting $4,000, as the
cost of producing the crop and he has

NAVY PROMOTIONS.
| Special Message Advocates Radical
Chances In system.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
Monday sent to Congress special
message on the personnel OF the navy,
in which some radical changes in the
methods of promotion now in vogue
are advocated. The messags in part
is as wollows:
an my last three annual messages
have invited the attention of the Con
gress to the urgent necessity of such
legislation as will cause officers OF
the line OF the navy to reach the
grades of captain and rear admiral
at less advanced ages, and will give
them more experience and training in
the important duties of these grades
"Under the present archaic system
of promotion, without parallel in the
navy of any other first-class power,
captains are commissioned at the aver
age age of fifty-six and rear admirals
at the average of sixty. The system IS
the result of long-continued preju-
dice in favor of a method of promo
ton by which all lieutenants in order
of seniority pass through the several
grades until they eventually become
rear admirals: method which sacri-
fees the good of the service to the in
terests of the individual mediocrity."
The President transmits a bill, re-
commended by a board of six officers
appointed by the secretary of the
Navy, ard says:
THE bill herewith transmitted to the
Congress has been formulated by the
secretary and is based, except in few
details, on the recommendation
Should 1t be enacted into law it will
cause officers on the sea-goins list to
reach the grade of captain at forty
eight, and rear admirals at fifty-fivc,
and will assure their serving seven
years in the grade of rear admiral,
thus enabling them to become thor
oughly skilful and efficient in these
grades.
THE accompanying bill also estab-
fishes the grade of vice admiral. This
grade has long existed in all other
principal navies of the world in order
to obtain selected grade of skilled
commanders in chief.
IF the proposed plan of promotion
Is carried out it will as compared with
existing law, make saving OF more
than 100000 during the next seven
years.
81 am firmly of the opinion that un-
less the present condition of higher
command personnel is rectified by jul
dicious legislation, the future Of our
navy will be gravely compromised"

Fort Collins and Laramie Line.

Fort Collins.-The Denver. Laramie
& Northwestern Railroad Company has
filed certificate with the county clerk
naming Henry Apple as its business
agent in Colorado, giving his residence
as Denver. This company has pur-
chased and paid for the right of way
for a railroad for almost the entire dis
lance between Fort Collins and Lara
ME, Wyoming, and its officials state
that construction will be started on the
line as soon as tine frost is out of the
ground in the spring and that cars will
be running between the two points be
fore the winter Of 1907.
The surveyed line of this road bears
northwesterely from Fort Collins, pass
ing through Park station, Virginia
Dale and thence on to Laramie. The
company expects to build through to
Denver soon after completing the road
between Laramie and Fort Collins. A
contract for cutting and delivering 81
900, 900 ties for the road was let in Lar
annie last week.

INDIANS WEALTH..
Great Progress Being Made by the REQ
Men.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the
Indian appropriation bill carrying
SS,203, 900 was begun Monday in the
house Representative Sherman oil
New York, chairman of the Indian at
fairs committee, made an extended ex.
PLANTATION ct the measure and incident.
ally discussed the whole Indian queS
ton.
1t was shown that the total Indian
population is now 2S4,2SO, and that the
Indian is rapidly assuming citizens
dress. Ten years ago there were
$1,000 Indians who wore citizens
dress, while last year the number was
10000. Ten years ago $4,000 Indians
read English, while last year the num-
Der had increased to $4,000; those who
speak the language number 10000. OF
the total Indian population $4,000 are
members of regularly established
churches.
The Indian has to-day in the United
States treasury funds amounting 20
S35,3S5,000, upon which an annual in.
terest is paid amounting to S1625, 0Go.
The government pays to the Indian an.
nually under treaty obligations more
than $4,000. The lands owned by the
Indians outside of the territories
amount TO 51,47S,000 acres, or an aver
age for every man, woman and CHILD
of 271 acres.
Representative Sherman denied that
the Indian is gradually disappearing,
and said that statistics show that last
year there were BIG more births than
deaths.

SUGAR BEET PAYMENTS,
Large Sums Discussed by Greeley, Ea.
ton and Windsor Factories.

Greeley.-Saturday payment for the
November deliveries of beets was
made by the Greeley, Eaton and Wind
SCR sugar factories. The Greeley fac
tory paid 100000; Eaton, s215,-
600; Windsor, $4,000; total, S604,-
900. The monthly payroll for
workmen at the three factories is
$4,000, and the expenses 100000,
which, added to the foregoing,
makes total of s739.000 put into cir
culation by the three factories during
the last few days. The September de.
livery of beets brought S1S5,O0O and
October 1911. 900, which, with the
monthly payroll and expenses of the
three factories, has made the three dis
tricts richer by S1,500,000. 1t is quite
probable that the December delivery
will equal that of November, and it will
be February LIST before all beets are de.
livered, which will prolong the sugar
campaign into March. All bCets ara
dug in northern Colorado and there is
a good prospect that practically all
will be used by the factories without
loss to the farmers from freezing or
having.
The Beet Growers Association of
the Greeley district met Saturday, with
$50 present, to consider making con.
tracts for growing beets for sugar fac
tories next season. They united to a
man against SLIDING beets in the field
at $3.50 a ton, as offered by the sugar
company, as they claim the extra %
cents does not pay for the shrinkage
in sliced beets, to say nothing of the
extra expense Of labor The farmers
believe that if the factories wish n
have the beets sliced the work should
be done by the factories.
The growers also object to the
clause in the present contract which
requires a grower to wait until Octo'
Der goth to deliver unless ordered ear
Her and desire the privilege of deliv'
ering beets by October 18th. a com
mittee was appointed to draft con
tract embodying the desires of the
growers and submit it TO the sugar
company.

i1ent of the ABSORPTION IND Charlel

SCHOOL TROUBLE
MESSAGE ON JAP
ANESE EXCLUSION.
APPEALS TO SAN FRANCISCO
Declares That Japanese Will be Fully
Protected - Comments Secre-
tary Metcalf's Report.

Washington.-Followi is the Pres
ident's message transmitted to Con
gress Tuesday:
Il enclose herewith for your infor-
nation the final report made to me
personally by Secretary Metcalf on the
situation affecting the japanese in San
Francisco. The report deals with three
matters of controversy-first, the eX-
clusion of the Japanese children from
the San Francisco schools; second.
the boycotting of Japanese restau-
rants, and third, acts of violence com
mitted against the japanese.
las to the first matter, l call your
especial attention to the very small
number of japanese children who at
tend school, to the testimony as to
the brightness, cleanliness and good
behavior of these Japanese chilren in
the schools, and to the fact that, owing
to their being scattered throughout
the city, the requirement for them all
to go to one special school is impossi-
be of fslfilment and means that they
cannot have school facilities. Let me
point out further that there would be
no objection whatever to excluding
from the schools any Japanese on the
score of age. 1t is obviously not desir-
able that young men should so to
school with children. The only point
is the exclusion of the children them
selves. The number of japanese chill
dren attending the public schools in
San Francisco was very small.
1.-The government has already di-
rected that suit be brought to test the
constitutionality of the act in question;
but my very earnest hope Is that such
suit will not be necessary, and that as
a matter OF comfy the citizens OF San
Francisco will refuse to deprive these
young Japanese children of education
and will permit them to go to the
schools.
1.-THE question as to the violence
against the Japanese is most admir-
ably put by Secretary Metcalf, and !
have nothing to add to his statement.
am entirely confident that, as Secre-
tary Metcalf says, the overwhelming
sentiment of the state of California is
for law and order and for the protec-
ton of the japanese in their persons
| and property. Both the chief OF police
and the acting mayor of San Francisco
! assured Secretary Metcalf that every
thing possible would be done to pro
tect the japanese in the city. l author
lied and directed Secretary Metcalf to
| state that if there was failure 10 pro
tect persons and property. then the en-
| tire power of the federal government
within the limits of the constitution
would be used promptly and vigor-
ously to enforce the observance of our
treaty, the supreme law of the land,
which treaty guaranteed to Japanese
residents everywhere in the Union full
and perfect protection for their per
sons and property; and to this end ev-
erything in my power would be done,
and all the forces of the United States,
both civil and military. which could
| lawfully employ would be employed. |
| call especial attention to the conclud-
| ing sentence of Secretary Metcalf's re
| port of November &c, 1906.
