INDUSTRY IN COLORADO.
PRESENT CROP CONDITIONS

6ympesIum Of Reports From the ssv-
eral Sugar Beet consid-
erahis Damage Has Resulted In
Some Places From Extreme Cold
Weather.
The Denver News. In its Issue Of No
Nember 25th. prints extended reports
from the sugar beet districts In Colo
sado. from which the following Is con-
densed:
Greeley.-Unusual climatic condi-
lions. Jack Of labor and insufficient
railway service have furnished the
nrst disturbing elements this fall in
the phenomenal growth of the beet su-
gar business in the Greeley district. In
which the Eaton and Windsor factories
are included. Even with these draw
backs. the present campaign will cause
the distribution Of more money In this
section than any previous campaign.
II the total crop is harvested. and
weather conditions are again promis-
ing fair in that direction, there will be
paid out for beets at the Greeley.
Eaton and Windsor factories. not less
than 81, 500 900. and IN additional $780,
900 for labor in the factories proper.
not including about 100000 paid out
to beet tenders during the summer.
This will mean total Of $2.i50.0o0.
The factories were built at Greeley
and Eaton during the summer Of 1902,
and the first campaign conducted that
fall. There were only n little over
5000 acres OF beets grown for the two
factories. The following year the fac
tory was built at Windsor. and the
acreage for the three factories COM
bined, ran about double that OF the
first year.
This year the average for the three
factories is over 10000 acres. as
against 5000 acres five years ago. The
price of beets is IS per ton. as against
$3.50 five years ago.
Longmont. - The recent severe
storms coming SO early In the season
greatly discouraged the beet growers
OF this section. But the last few days
Q great transformation has taken place
and to-day work In the beet fields was
resumed with renewed yigor.
When last Saturday nights storm
struck this section, fully $4,000 tons OF
beets were undug In the fields and 49,
900 tons more were piled ready for
hauling. The undug crop represented
twelve per cent OF the entire acreage
In the vicinity of Longmont. and the
loss would have been severe to both
farmers and business men alike.
Fort Morgan.-Many OF the fields are
producing twenty-five tons and better
to the acre and It II expected that the
Fort Morgan district will average at
least sixteen or seventeen tons for the
entire acreage OF the district. There
Il little over 1000 acres In beets here
this year. in the Weldon valley about
$500 acres, In the Brush district about
1000 acres, making enough beets in
the county to bring about $1,000. 900
to the farmers for their beet crop
alone.
The Fort Morgan factory. which will
start grinding beets about December
18th, will be one OF the best factories
IN the state when It is completed. 1t
10 being constructed for the Great
Western Sugar Company on new and
improved plans.
The beet company this week n ac.
cepting an average Of about ten cars |
day from the Fort Morgan district, \
and shipping them to the Brush and
Sterling factories.
The Ordway new era., 1906-11-30

Hoiiy.-The sugar beet crop OF this
section of the Arkansas valley this year
10 larger than any year since the farm
ers commenced growing beets in this
valley. While the tonnage Is more
than satisfactory, the late rains. which
came in great profusion in the latter
part Of August and all through Septem-
her and October, caused the sugar to
shrink from ~ per cent early in Sep
tembcr to about IL per cent at the time
OF maturity. The recent cold spell has
done practically NO damage to the
beets. though many are frozen hard.
Theee will be left in the ground until
they thaw out. The factory Of the
Holly Sugar company expects to slice
not less than $4,000 tons from the
Holly country alone (they have already
handled several trainloads from the
9wtnk factory pending Its completion).
0rand Junction.--The sugar beet sit.
nation in Western Colorado AZ far az
the territory covered by the beet sugar
factory at Grand Junction II concerned,
could hardly be botter. The factory IL
en3oying the most successful campaign
n its history. About 5000 acres Of

bills Monte Carlo will be visited.
Those who have any money left will
endeavor to help build up the roads
about this establishment, and those
who do not pawn their cars in this
effort will go along into Italy and
drop in upon the Pope.
From Rome the run is to be to
Naples and then along the coast of
the Adriatic sea and through Austria
Hungary to Vienna and on to Ger
many. After calling upon the EN-
peror, the travellers, If there are any
cars left, will travel to Belgium, back
to France and finally over to King
Edwards country. If any of the ma
chimes are worth bringing home then
will be shipped back via the White
Star line.
The rules have not been formulate
ed, neither has the club under whose
auspices the tour will be held been
selected.
Georges Dupuy, of the New York
Motor Club, who is trying to organize
the tour, says w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr.;
e. r. Thomas, j. De Mont Thompson
and M. j. Rothschild have subscribed
enough to purchase a $4,000 gold
cup and pay the organizing expen-
SEES. &
A preliminary meeting will be held
in New York January 15, when those
who are interested in the scheme will
endeavor to organize.

BIG EUROPEAN
TOUR PLANNED

American motorists who are going
abroad during the coming summer
will have an opportunity to enter a
1000 mile tour through France,
Spain, Italy and Germany and win
a gold cup valued at $4,000. 1t is
to be the most extensive our ever
organized, and it's purpose is to dem
onstrate t o the world the true value
of the American built automobile.
Only Americans driving American
cars will be allowed to go. The route
is a most interesting one, and will
consume fully two months OF con-
slant travel by motor.
A glance at the prospectus makes
our American tours look rather small
and cheap. June and July are the
months set apart for the trip and the
party, which the promoters hope will
be not less than 800, is due home
some time in August.
If the affair can be arranged the
start will be made from this side
in May. The cars are to be shipped
on the French line of steamships. Spe-
cial passenger rates, it is expected,
will be arranged for the members of
the party and their machines will be
carefully parked" in the forward
hatch of tn steamer. The promoters
expect TO enlist fully a score of cars.
OF course it will be very expensive.
The cars and the tourists will be
.unloaded in Havre, where the hotel
keepers will give them a glad well
come. 1t is natural to expect taht
they will stand on the dock with wide
open arms to receive such a large
party of Americans.
After successfully fighting them off
with clubs and repeating rifles the
American motorists will fill their gas
oline tanks, provided they can get
any gasoline, and make the first days
run to Paris.
After spending several days in Par
Is, those who a find their chauf-
feurs will continue on toward Brest,
from which place they will drop down
the coast to Nantes, back toward Par
Is as far.as lie Mans, where they will
remain to see the Grand Prix road
race, provided. of course, the racing
cars pass that point.
When the race is over the tourists
will motor gradually down through
Tours and along the Loire river.
From Bordeaux to Bayonne the run
will be near the coast. From Bay
onne the route goes to Folk, from
which town the machines will climb
over the Pyrenees and down to Bar
celona, Spain. A number of pictures
will be taken of the ears which go
over the Pryenees on their high
speed. In Barcelona there may be
a bull fight between a two cylinder
Buick and a Texas steer.
Up to this point every member of
the party will be diligently sought af-
ter by the tradesman and servants of
the various towns in which a halt is
made I'VE night. Leaving Barcelona
those whose axles are not broken will
travel on to. Perpignan, France. hug

ATTRACTIVE
EXHIBITION

NORFOLK, Va. :-Eight miles
from the city of Norfolk, on the
southern shores of Hampton Roads,
there is rising as if by magic, a beau
-tiful exposition city, that will be in
PRODUCED to the world on April &c,
1907, as the jamestown Ter-Centen-
NAL Exposition. Push and progress
are everywhere In evidence and the
big exhibit palaces, state and govern
ment buildings, are all but complet-
ed, and the beautiful grounds, one of
the features of the exposition, have
taken on the appearance of a verit-
able dream city.
No section of the country is so
hallowed by history making events
as that portion of Virginia on and
about the historic waters of Hampton
roads, wherein this exposition, com
memorating the three h~undredth
anniversary of the first English
speaking settlement in America, is
to be held. For this reason the cele-
bration will embody, not only an in
dustrial, commercial and educational
display, but an elaborate historical
review of the growth and progress of
the entire country during the three
hundred years of it's existence.
Owing to the fact that the James,
town Ter-Centennial is the first eX-
position ever held in this country. on
deep water, the United States gov
eminent has come forward and invit-
ed the nations of the world to par
ticipate in the grand naval display to
be held in Hampton Roads during
the period of the exposition. Every
type of fighting craft, from the small
est and most obsolete gunboat to the
largest and most formidable man-of-
war will be anchored off the shores
of the exposition, giving a splendid
fdea of the growth and expansion of
naval construction from its earliest
stages. The naval pageantry afioat,
coupled with the military display
ashore, promises to be the largest
and most spectacular feature of its
kind that the world has ever
The Industrial display, while it
will compare f%avorably with those of
any of the previous expositions, will
be selective rather than general, in
Guiding every branch of industry of
which the country can boast, but Sc
lecting a typical exhibit of each. In
this manner visitors to the Ter-Cen-
tennial will have the pleasure of
viewing a comprehensive display of
the industries of the country without
having to wade through an endless
labyrinth of similar exhibits.
The landscape design together
with the natural beauties of the
grounds and the artistic exposition,
government and state buildings, all
of the old colonial style of architec-
ture, grouped along the water front,
will go to make up the most attrac-
tive exposition that this country has
eve seen and the historic shores of
Hampton Roads will be the center
for all eyes in 1907.

Murphy, a Cincinnati pugilist, fought a
terrific finish fight yesterday afternoon.
The fight was for $500 side.
Robinson, not wishing to disclose his
real identity. fought under the name OF
Jack Kelly of Detroit.
The fight was the elimination of long
standing enmity between the men, who
fought with all the ferocity of enraged
animals. The battle lasted four rounds.
Robinson won with a terrific blow over
the heart that sent his adversary to the
ropes, over which he fell backwards and
hung as IL lifeless while the referee
slowly counted ten. Murphy, after Wig

The fight was witnessed by only

nineteen foxes, and still the hunter was
not satisfied. He desired to round out
an even twenty for good luck. So he
kept on the track of big fox, for sew
eral days, but could not get shot. 1t
was left for the dog to do the trick
alone and earn his own tax for the
year.
In his masters absence the dog
started out alone and was gone all day.
About nightfall the family heard the
hound baying nearby and saying quite
plainly: II have fox cornered and

Patrolman Shannon has served on the

Championship

The Pomona baseball and the st. Vim
cent nine meet this afternoon on the
Vincentan campus for the second game
of their championship series, and the
Claremont boys are prepared to put
forth desperate effort before the sea-
son comes to an end. The country boys
have thus far lost four games without
having secured a single victory, but are
determined to wrest one game from
fIaggerty's men if it lies within their
power.
The Saints are at the head of the per-
centage column, with four games won
and no loss scored against them. The
losing streak of the Claremont lads
is difficult to understand, as during for
mer years they have possessed team
capable of giving the st. Vincent nine
the hardest ru' during the season.
More attention, however, has been
paid to the diamond game by u. S. G.

Should st. Vincent's win this after
