4 CHANCE To
GET HOMES
OFFERED
Hauula Lots TO Be Sold
Without Residence
Clause.

| Fourteen lots in the Hauula tract. OF
| the other side of this island, are of
fered for sale by Land COMMISSIONS
| Pratt. In size the lots range from foul
| and one-tenth acres to twelve and one
hundredth acres.
Although appraised at $75 an acre
by John Kidwell, recognized agricul
tural land expert, the Commissioner
puts the lots up at $25 an acre. His
reason for making such a cut, as stated
to an Advertiser reporter, is not based
on any disagreement with the appraise
ment.
Mr.. Pratt desires to give willing land
improvers a chance to develop the soil
without too great a capital outlay for
the ground at the outset. The Govern
ment will, in his view, be well repaid
from the taxable value the land will
have when improved This besides the
advantage of turning the public do
main into ready cash for paying off the
Territorial bonded Indebtedness, where
as otherwise it might lie fallow and un-
productive for many years.
AS with some other disposals of land
recently determined on, the terms Of
sale of the Hauula lands do not contain
the residence condition. In this re
spect Mr.. Pratt desires to give an op-
portunity to men working for wages in
the neighborhood of cultivating plots
of land for themselves, ultimately when
their circumstances permit to become
their actual homesteads. Another class
of people he has in view of beneftinG
is men of moderate means whose voca
tions are in town, who may have bent
fer eultivating the soil and would graf
ify it by improving place in the
country to the benefit of themselves
and the Territory.

JOHN HUGHES IN THE FIGHT
Alex. Robertson Gives
His Friends a Hard
Jolt.

Alex Robertson has broken a long
and most mastery burst of silence tC
surprise his friends and his foes alike
after two years, with the statement
that Kuhio never made any promise to
hirn-and that the promise he now
run for a third term is to be inter
preted in a Pickwickian sense, any
how.
oh. lame and impotent conclusion!
After two years of unshed tears, of
suffering in most aggressive silence,
TO put ones own friends in the painful
position that must follow the realiza-
ton that the pose has been wasted,
and that the sympathy dodge will not
work-not when the Hawaiian man
and brother wants particular JOB Tor

ridden Kuhio with the spurs of their
anger. The tale of that promise was
a tale Oh the fSOpSItSOi1 IA4~iiy sAtAN ~--~S
have got a lot of consoIa ton out of it
during the past two years-and maybe
lot of hope.
Now. it is all off. Alex. says he sees
nothing to stop Kuhio-and most likely
he doesn't. 1t is a dead moral cinch
that Alex. can not stop him. He tried
that two years ago.

Washington has not known a period of such

Roosevelt became President as there has been

SUGAR FACTORY
One Certain For Montezuma Valley.

One Certain For Montezuma Valley
The Durango Board of Trade has
taken the initiative and has started its
secretary, w. r. Armstrong, and Mr.
]. d. Mitchell, an expert beet man, to
gather the requisite number of acres
$4,000 to secure a factory. Durango il
the natural point to establish the first
factory, but as soon as the farmers
show their willingness to raise suffi.
cient beets the field will be extended
to Montezuma valley, Pennington dis.
trlot and the Pine River country.
A factory means SO much for a
country. First it will place 81 600, ,OOC
on the tax roll; it takes 800 men to run
a factory, these men work in the
factory in the winter and for the farm
ers during the summer.
In beet districts land has doubled in
value in twelve months. Land that
could be purchased four years ago from
Boulder to Greely for S25 to $40 per
acre, now cannot be purchased for $50.
per acre. 1t the Arkansas valley the
increase has been greater.
Mr.. Mitchell says, "There is not a
foot of agricultural land in Colorado
capable of growing a crop of grain OF
alfalfa that will not produce twenty
tons or better of sugar beets."
Let US figure little. Twenty tons
of beets to the acre means that the
sugar company will pay 500 per acre
for the beets delivered at the nearest
beet dump. The expense of growing
that acre, counting taxes, ditch assess
ment, A per day for man and team,
hauling-in fact, all expense is inside
OF $33 per acre. This leaves profit OF
S67 per acre. Mr.. Farmer, how much
are you making from your present
crops?
The test of beets grown in Montezuma
valley runs 1911 per cent sugar 81 per
cent purity. A beet crop takes less
water than any other crop, and the
company agree to furnish all the help
necessary. The Navajo Indian is the
best beet man on earth, and we have
them at our door.
The Board of Trade has only a few
days left in which to secure the 5000
acres, SO do not hesitate. Make up
your mind as to how many acres you
will plant for 1907 and communicate
with Mrs. L. HI. g. Koehn, Dolores.

One of the drawbacks to Montezuma
county is the difficulty the farmers en-
counter In finding cash market for
their produce. This trouble would be
|entirely eradicated il beets were raised.
Cash is what talks when you are want
ing prices on merchandise and it doesn't
do a thing to the Interest problem9
Consider this matter carefully before
you turn down the sugar beet PROPOSE
tion. On the other hand, don't sign
contracts with the Sugar company
blindly. Read them over carefully
and II you do not fully understand
it don't sign until you do. No doubt
you will be urged to sign quick on
account of limited time to close the
contract and get the factory. But we
have noticed that good things generally
keep. Do not contract more acres
than you can furnish. 1t takes lots of
work TO raise sugar beets. The beet
raisers in the northern part of the
state had lots of trouble getting help
the past season. The company may
promise to furnish help, and send you a
few Navajos but where are you going
to get enough men to keep the Nava-
jos at work more than a few days.
AS a rule, II you want white man to
weed beet you have to hire him two
helpers, one to hold an umbrella over
him and the other to fan him.

The Mercantile company are saying
something on the last page of this is
sue that will interest every reader.
A list of prices Is given which tells the
prospective buyers just what they will
have to pay for goods. This idea Of
advertising prices is step in the right
direction. If the merchants all over
the country would adopt this method
they would soon cut down Sears, Roe
buck & Co.'S $5,OO0,OOO month cash
business. The secret of the success of
the mail order business lies in the fail
ure Of the home merchant to advertise
prices. The home tnerchant can sell
goods just as cheap for cash as you can
get them from the mail order house
after you pay freight or express, and
the quality is often better.

WILL NOT TAKE PART.
Mayor Weaver Not to Speak in the
CAMPAIGN

Interest in Pennsylvania is now center
ing upon the attitude of Mayor Weaver of
Philadelphia toward the fusion candidates
Of the Lincoln republican and democratic
parties In the early Gays Of the cam
paign 1t was taken for granted that Mr.
Weaver would work for the success of En-
cry and the other fusion candidates and
semi-official announcement was made
that the reform mayor would make a series
OF speeches over the state and would work
in his own city for the election of these
candidates.
But since the campaign opened there
have been occurrences that have done much
to call in question the attitude Of the
mayor, and today it is announced that he
will not be able to speak during the cam
paign. That statement is regarded as es-
pecially significant by many Of the lead
ers in the state. At the notification meet
ing in Pittsburg, at which Mr.. Emery and
the other candidates made their opening
not in evidence although it has been
stated that he would be there and take
part in the proceedings. 1t was then said
that ill-health prevented his attendance
Since then the situation in Philadelphia
has greatly changed. The city party, of
which Mayor Weaver was supposed by
many to be a dominant factor, has turned
down the candidate of the mayor Mr.
the nomination Of district attorney. The
convention in spite of his open support
of Shoyer, turned to Glbboney. who won
with the backing of the Mack faction. rec
ognized as hostile to the leadership of the
mayor. Mr.. Weaver did not hesitate to de-
clare that this course was the result of
hostility toward him, and he has not been
able to take his defeat with any degree of
friendliness toward the candidates that
have been chosen. What is known as the
Mack combine has been influential in the
city party and among the Lincoln republic
cans.
Now comes the announcement that the
reform mayor will not speak in the state
campaign and that he will give no sup
port in Philadelphia or elsewhere to the
fusion candidates is taken as practically
assured. There is no doubt that the mayor
has a following that will be an important
element in the election. 1t Is yet to be
seen what degree of opposition will be de-
yeloped toward the fusion candidates.
Senator Penrose was at the White House
today and had talk with the President.
The developments concerning Mayor Weav-
er are OF intense interest to the senator,
as they tend toward Strengthening the
state ticket put up by him.
