The FARM AND RANGE
New Sugar Factories.

Every sugar factory built in the
state means the addition of nearly a
million of dollars to the production of
sugar, a considerable part of the
money paid to the growers of the
beets and another large part to the
workers in fields and factories. 1t is
clear gain to the business Of the
state. 1t is making things grow
where none grew before-the kind Of
business that lasts long into the future
and Is q permanent gain.
Following the practice OF erecting
factories as soon as the country has
prepared to keep one running, the
sugar makers have promised to build
two new ones in the Arkansas valley
In time to work up the 1907 crop, pro.
vided the farmers do their part in pre-
pairing to grow the beets. The rule is
to first require to be put in frac-
tional acreage of that which would
maintain 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 5,OOb acres. The first
years 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 at 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 saccharine 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 will
be two more, one at Swink and the
other at Las Animas, to add an equal
sum to the steadily increasing bust
ness of the states latest but one OF its
most promising industries.
This is getting ahead in the right
way. 1t is the kind of work that is
going to make Colorado one OF the
greatest states in the union in few
years more 1t is the kind that counts

Bell Identifies Orchard.

Boise, Idaho.-Sheriff Bell of Teller
county, Colorado, stated here Monday
that he recognized Harry Orchard, the
man suspected of the murder OF ex.
Governor Steunenberg, as the same
man who is wanted in Colorado for the
blowing up Of the Independence depot
at Cripple Creek.
The officer with him likewise recog.
nized the prisoner absolutely. Sheriff
Bell said further that, though he had
come here with n requisition for Or
chard, ne had found after looking over
the case of the state against him for
the Steunenberg murder, that 1t was
not likely that Colorado would get hold
of him at this time. He feels certain
he will be held and is prepared tn go
back home. but will remain until AZ.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yords.-Trade
has had a good tone again during the
weel. just passed, not only In Denver.
but at all markets. Receipts here
were fair, but the bulk of the offerings
came during the latter part Of the
week. There was good strong de-
mand, especially for the beef end, and
everything was sold out daily at strong
higher on the general run OF cattle,
and some statesmen thought choice beef
steers were a quarter higher. Top
steers sold at $425 during the week,
several punches going at this figure,
with others at $4.15. and prices rang
ing from this down to $3.50 on the
bulk Of the pretty good stuff. Cows
also were good sellers and everything
offered was disposed of at strong
prices. Best brought $3.35, which is
higher than any price paid here for
several weeks. Others sold at $3.25
and bulk of the fair to good COWS sold
at $3.50 to 1920, with medium to fair
at $2.20 to $3.50, and Gamers from
$2.25 down. Bulls were strong and
top for the week was made at $3.50.
Veals were also good sellers, best
bringing $3.50. Feeder and stocker
trade had very good tone, but the
supply of choice stuff was limited.
Good steers were wanted and even the
commoner grades were in fair request.
Prices were 10 to Is cents higher on
the best and strong on common stuff.
Sales ranged largely from $3.25 to
SS.S5, with tops at $3.50. A good many
of the offerings were of poor quality
and had to sell below $500.
Hog supply was light this week and
packers would have bought good
many more. Prices have been up and
down from day to day, but at the close
values are very little changed from
the close of a week ago. Tops are now
selling around $500 to $5.25.
Sheep receipts have been fair this
week, but bulk of them were pea-fed
lambs billed through to the Chicago
market. Prices on eastern market are
little lower than a week ago and the
market here is weak in sympathy, but
there is very little change in quota
tions.

Sentences COMMITTED.

Denver.-At a meeting Of the State
Board Of Pardons in Denver last week
three sentences were commuted
The sentence of Walter McWilliams,
who was sent to the penitentiary from
Denver December II, 1908, was COM

term of five to ten years to three and
one-half to ten years.
The sentence of John Peak. who was
originally sentenced to from six to ten
years, was commuted to three and
onehalf to ten years. He was con-
victed Of criminal assault and the ar
gument made in his favor was by for.

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 ST..
100000 over that of 1904. This evil
IDENTIFY does not include corn. for the
gain over last year in that alone is
$29,255,29S.
The total value of the corn raised
this year is over $2,500. 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
million dollars worth more Of potatoes
have been raised than last year.
The wealth Of the world has Its
roots in the soil, after all. and the quiet
workers who, scattered all over the
land, bring forth these enormous yields
are the miners whose product Is most
huge as we'll as most essential.

NEW PREMIER's POLICY.
Severe Arraignment Of the Former
British Government.

London.-The election address Of
Sir Henry mpbell-Bannerman, the
premier, is wholly devoted to a severe
indictment Of the late government's
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 uE.
broken expanse 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 a legacy Of en-
barrassment; an accumulation OF pub
lie mischief and confusion absolutely
appalling in its extent and ramidcar
tions.
He declines to regard Mr.. Balfour's
free trade tenets as having more than
a nominal place in the estimation Of
the majority of the Unionists, whose
fiscal reform policy he holds 10
fraught with incalculable mischief to
the nation and the empire.
He characterizes protection al i'm
moral and oppressive, based, as he
says it 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 q
substantial continuity of the foreign
policy without departing from the
friendly and unprovocative methods

Warning to Owners Of Range Ami
mails,

Denver.-Complaints are beginning
to come to the State Board of Child
and Animal Protection about horses
snowbound and starving in the noun
tains in the southwestern part of the
state. Theil owners have not rounded
them up and got them down into the
valleys where they can get feed and
care. Last year many animals were
left to starve and die because it re-
quired some efforts of their owners
to get them out. This year when it
becomes necessary for the Board of
Child and Animal Protection to gather
and feed stock so neglected the owner
will be prosecuted as we'll.
In times past owners have found it
cheap and satisfactory to wait until
officers gathered and fed their ami
mails. Then, If they survived, they
had ten days in which to come in,
pay the actual cost and take the ami
mails. If they died they would roast
the officers and refuse to pay the bill.
The board feels that the time has
gone by to do for the owner the work
he ought to do for himself and that
the vast amount OF suffering the ami
mails undergo before they can be
reached and helped, II that can be
done at all, may better be prevented
by compelling the owners to look out
for them beforehand.

Insects Cost 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 q. follows:
Over $3.50, ,OOe, 900 worth Of grains is
destroyed each year; $53,OOO,OOO
worth of hay and forage; over $5o,O0O,-
900 in cotton; $5,50O,000 in tobacco;
$53 100000 in truck crops; $5,OOO,OOO
in sugars; far more than $27 100000 in
fruits; Sill 100000 worth of the prod
ucts of the forest; $6,000,000 in miscel-
laneous crops; over $175.0O0,000 in ami
mails and their products, and well over
500, ,OOO, 900 of the products kept in
storage, forming grand total of al
most 81, 900, 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, $24,O00,000; the chinch bug in
corn and grain, 500, ,00O, 900; the grass
hopper, S9O,OOO,O00 worth of growing
things; cabbage work, $5,0OO.OOO; po-
tato bug, $S,000,000; San Jose scale in
orchards, $1O,O00000; various insect
pests to the animal industry, $175,0OO,-
900.
AS a result the government Is now
paying greater 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
menace to health and wealth.

Denver.-With insanity on the in
crease in Colorado, the State Insane
Asylum crowded to it's utmost capac.
ity, sixty insane women waiting in the
Denver County Hospital for accommo-
dations at Pueblo, and every county in
the state puzzling over the problem OF
the care of it's own citizens who are
mentally unbalanced, DR.. A. P. Busey.
superintendent of the Colorado asylum,
in his annual report strongly urges a
definite consideration Of the situation.
Some person has said Colorado
coula not take steps at this time to
make further provision for the insane
says DR.. Busey. Il would like to know
what more worthy cause or what
greater charity Colorado has than the
insane upon which to bestow care and
protection.
Many of these people have been
good citizens and taxpayers, and now
that they are helpless and defenseless
they are entitled to asylum and protec-
tion, and should not longer be kept
in almshouses, jails and other unfit
places of abode.
"All friends of the insane should
urge upon the next Legislature the i'm
portance of making some provision for
these unfortunate people, as other
states do. The time to successfully
treat the insane is Immediately after
the attack begins, and this cannot be
done If some place Is not provided
where they can be taken. One reason
to-day why Colorado has so many
hopeless, incurable insane is because
they have been confined in jails and
poorhouses awaiting admission to the
overcrowded insane asylum, until
their cases have become chronic and
incurable before they could obtain
treatment. This is an injustice to the
insane, and inasmuch as the state has
these wards, it should have institutions
in which to treat them
There are at present in the institu-
tion at Pueblo 759 patients, of whom
277 are women and 482 men. During
the year the total number treated was
901. New accommodations were made
last year for 300 additional patients,
and these are almost all filled.
"The number of insane persons is
rapidly increasing throughout the
state" the superintendent declares,
''and more additions will have to be
provided or new asylum built. There
are sixty women now in the Denver
County Hospital awaiting admission y
The financial condition of the insti-
tuition, DR.. Busey says, is excellent.
With the Legislative appropriation OF
$4,000, and the 18th mill from the
tax levy, he believes the bien
nial period will be ended without debt
Some interesting figures are giver
regarding the cost of caring for the in
sane of Colorado. The monthly aver
age Of expenditures for wages, main
tenance, etc, for the year just closed
was $6,144.56, or a daily per capita ex
pense Of less than Sc cents. Even with
the Improvements that were made last
year the per capita expense is esti
mated ut but Al cents. This is consid
cred a remarkable showing, which DR.
Busey says cannot be improved upon
by any insane asylum in the country
