NEW PREmlER's POLICY.
Severe Arraisnment Of the Former
British Government,

London.-The election address of
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman. the
premier. is wholly devoted to n severe
indictment of the late governments
record and its policy on protection and
to referring the electors to his public
declaration on assuming Office for an
exposition of his governments in
tended policy.
The premier declares that the last
decade represents well-nigh un-
broken eNpanse OF mismanagement
conducted for the benefit of privileged
classes; OF wars and adventures
abroad. hastily embarked upon and
recklessly pursued. and that the legacy
the unionists bequeathed to their sue
cessors is in the main legacy of EN-.
barrassment, an accumulation OF pub.
lie mischief and confusion absolutely
appalling in its extent and ramifica.
tons.
He declines 10 regard Mr.. Balfour's
free trade tenets as having more than
nominal place in the estimation of
the majority of the Unionists, whose
fiscal reform policy he holds is
fraught with incalculable mischief to
the nation and the empire.
! He characterizes protection as i'm.
! moral and oppressive, based, as he
says 1t must be. on the exploitation OF
the community in the interest of the
favored trades and financial groups,
| and declares the policy Of his govern.
ment will be to hold fast to the time
honored principles of liberalism, peace,
economy, self-government and civil
and religious liberty and to pursue u
substantial continuity of the foreign
policy without departing from the
| friendly and unprovocative methods
adhered TO by previous Liberal admin

IMPORTANT DECISIONS
Handed Down by the Supreme Court
Of Colorado.

Denver.-The January term OF the
Supreme Court opened Monday morn
ing. all the justices being present eN'
cept Justice John Campbell. who is out
OF the state Chief Justice Gabbert
handed down e large number OF an
nouncements in important cases. some
OF which came from the old court OF
appeals, and which have been pending
for many years
Among the most important OF these
is the ruling In the case of Frank j.
Tanner against the Treasury Tunnel.
Mining and Reduction Company. II is
held thar parties working a mining
claim may tunnel under property be-
longing to another II they so desire,
but that the parties SO tunnelling must

For the sixth time. the long dispute
between Frank G. Patterson and

Lyons Canal Company ON the other.
has been passed upon. and. Il is hoped.
finally decided. Patterson asked that
excessive water rights OF parties who
had held them for eleven years be de
clared Illegal but the court declined 30
DO this. and decided the rights were
valid.

judge TO assist him in clearing an over.
crowded dicket Such is the decision
of the Supreme Court. announced In
the case of the Prudential Insurance
Company against Carrie Hummer.
This is n distinct victory for Judge b.
b. Lindsey of Denver. who appeared
before the court in person and argued
that the practice should be legalizcd.
A very important decision Is that
holding the statute OF 1901 in relation
to the present method of establishing
irrigation districts constitutional and
valid. All of the irrigation districts in
Colorado are deeply interested. because
they are created under this statute,
and upon the statutes validity dsienls

sugar makers have promised to build
two new ones In the Arkansas valley

yided the farmers do their part In pre-
parinc TO grow the bectS. The rule Ia
to first require to be put In frac.
ltional acreage of that which would
maintain "a factory In the locality.
Farmers are required to put out from
1000 to $500 acres the first year and
contract to increase this the next sea
son TO about 5000 acres. The first
wears acreage is Intended to let the
farmers become familiar with the
work, TO let them experiment with the
new crop and learn the business. Also
TO let them overcome the fear that
labor to handle the growing crop
might not be available and to show
them how profitable the crop may be
made.
In this fashion two sections OF Nor
gan county were prepared for facto-
ries last season and two new factories
are to be built In the coming year In
time for treating the seasons produc-
tion OF beets One of these Will be at
Fort Morgan, the other ut Brush.
Farmers In these localities are more
than pleased with their first years
crop. They have averaged about
eighteen tons of beets OF an unusually
high percentage of saccharinc TO the
acre and will exceed by more than a
thousand acres the area they con-
tracted TO put out next season In re-
turn for the erection of the factories
These factories will bring their
two millions OF new money to the
state next year and the promise is
that for the year following there viii
be two more. one at Swink and the
other at Las Animas. to add an equal
sum to the steadily increasing busi-
ness OF the states latest but one oil It's

Increased Farm Production.

The Bureau of Statistics. in its
Official harvest report. gives the re-
turns on the principal grain and root
crops. Cotton returns are not In as yet.
and some of the minor crops are still
unreported: but already the agricul-
tural output Of America passes $17,-
100000 over that of 1904. This evi-
IDENTIFY does not include corn, for the
gain over last year In that alone Is
$29.255,29
The total value OF the corn raised
this year Is over $4,000. 100000. The
wheat crop has been large. but Is only
about third that Of corn. The hay
crop about equals in value that Of
wheat.
Oats. barley. rice, rye. buckwheat
and tobacco cannot boast SO large har.
vests as In 1904, but potatoes and fax.
seed outstrip. the earlier record. Ten
mplion dollars worth more OF potatoes
hoe been raised than last year.

Insect. Cos. Many Million.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has recently Issued a doc
ument calling the attention OF the pub
lie to the annual tribute levied and
collected by insects from agricultural.
horticultural. stock and forestry inter
ests in this country alone. These
amounts are as follows:
Over S250,000.00O worth OF grains Is
destroyed each year; $53,oOV.OOO
worth of hay and forage; over $50.OOo.-
900 In cotton: $5.500.000 In tobacco:
$50. 100000 in truck crops: $5.OO0.00O
In sugars; far more than s2I 100000 In
fruits; Slll 100000 worth OF the prod
ncts of the forest: s6.000.000 in miscel-
ianeous crops: over Sl75.0o0.0 600 in ami
mails and their products, and well over
$10O.0OO,00O of the products kept In
storage. forming n grand total OF al
most s., 200. 100000.
The insects which take this toll and
the amounts taken by each are as fol-
lows: The weevil In grains. 100000
600; the boil weevil and boil worm In
cotton. $4,000 900: the chinch hug In
corn and grain. 800. 900. 900. the grass
hopper. $90,00O,00O worth of growing
things; cabbage work. S5.000.000; po-
tato bug, $S.0O0.0O0: San Jose scale In
orchards. slO.0O0.O00: various insect
pests to the animal industry. $l75.OO0,-
900.
AS result the government Is now
paying N eater attention to the destruc-
ton OF these insect pests than ever be-
fore. Skilled biologists are devoting
all of their time to studying means for
killing the insects which are so great
u menace TO health and wealth.

La Junta People Wide Awake and Sue
cessfuI.

Denver.-A Republican special from

twenty acres and has a small lake In

forty-six residence lots. each pur-
chaser paying 500 each for the lot.
and at the smoker tonight the lots
were drawn. The deed for each lot
contains a provision to the effect that
each purchaser shall build house to
cost not less than $500.
The reports of canvassers who had
been soliciting acreage for the pro-
posed beet sugar factory were read
and it was found that nearly 500
acres had been pledged. La Junta
business men then pledged individ-
ually from ten to twenty acres each,
which Will add 800 acres additional to
the amount already pledged.
Reports were presented from the
Holbrook country that the $500 acres
pledged from that valley had all been
subscribed. These contracts will be
placed in the La Junta State bank in
escrow until the railroad and the
sugar factory are well under way

Construction Company, was presen,
and stated that as soon as the con
tracts were placed in the bank he
would wire his company at New Yorh

washinston.-The Senate gave at
tention Monday 10 the Panama canal
the situation In Santo Domingo ana the
merchant marine shipping bill.
The canal question came up IN con
pection with message from the fresi-
dent. in which. among other Things. ne
invited the closest scrutiny into all thnt
had been done by the government ID
III, isthmus of Panama. saying:
Inclose herewith the annual report
Of the lsthmian Canal Commission. the
annual report Of 'he Panama Railroad
Company and the secretary oil war
letter transmitting the same. together
with certain papers.
THE work on the isthmus is being
admirably done and great progress mas
been maze, especially during the last
nine months The plant Is being made
ready and the organization perfected.
The first work TO be done was the
work OF sanitation. the necessity pre-
liminary TO the work OF actual con
struction, and this has been pushed
forwar with the utmost energy ana
means. In short while shall lay be-
for YOU the recommendations OF the
commission and of the board OF con
sulting engineers as TO the proper plan
TO be adopted for the canal itself. To-
Eether with my own recommendations
thereon.
"All the work so far has been done
not only with the utmost expedition.
but in the most careful and thorough
manner. and what has been accom-
plished gives us good reason to believe
that the canal will be dug In n shorter
time than had been anticipated and at
an expenditure within the estimated
amount. All our citizens have n right
TO congratulate themselves upon the
high standard OF efficiency and intcg-
rity which has been hitherto main
taained by the representatives OF the
government in doing this great work.
III this high standard OF efficiency
and integrity can be maintained in the
future at the same level which II has
now reached. the construction of the
Panama canal will be one Of the feats
to which the people OF this Republic
will look back with the highest pride.
From time TO time various publica-
tions have been made and from time to
time In the future various similar pub
lications doubtless will be made pur-
porting TO give an account OF jobbery.

have carefully examined into each OF
these accusations which seemed
worthy OF attention.
in every instance the accusations
have proved to be without foundation
in any shape or form.
Every specific charge relating to
jobbery. to immortality. or to inefii.
cheney. from whatever source 1t has
come. has been Immediately invcsti-
gated and in no single instance have
the statements of these sensation
mongers and the interested complain.
ants behind them proved true. The
only discredit inhering in these false
accusations is 10 those who originate
and give them currency and who. TO
the extent OF their abilities. thereby
hamper and obstruct the completion
Of the great work in which both the
honor and the interest OF America are
so deeply involved"
