SWINk SUGAR FACTORY.
Eight Thousand Acres Of Sugar seets
PLEDGED for Next Year,

Denver.-A Republican special from
La Junta says: Swink station, half
way between La Junta and Rocky
Ford, will have a 1,000-ton beet sugar
factory in 1906. 1t will be ready to
grind beets and make sugar next fall.
The Holly Construction Company,
which will build it, through its man
ager, w. N. Wiley, has pledges from
the farmers of 5000 acres of sugar
beets, most of which have been con-
tracted.
Monday an enthusiastic meeting of
about 200 people gathered at the Men
onite church, at Holbrook Center, eight
miles north of La Junta, and listened
to proposition made by the Holly
Construction Company through Mr..
Wiley and Attorney Platt Rogers OF
Denver, who guaranteed to build a rail-
road eighty-five miles long, from Holly
to Swink station, which would be on
the north side of the Arkansas river
and would traverse the Holbrook coun-
try for fifteen miles through tie cen
ter of the valley, which is one of the
finest agricultural sections in the
state.
Farmers of this valley must pledge
themselves to raise $500 acres Of
sugar beets for the factory, and the
company guarantees to have the road
ready for operation next fall. The road
will do I general railway business also.
The American Beet Sugar Company,
through Mr.. WeitZer, agreed to build a
road from Rocky Ford into the Hol-
brook country If the farmers would
raise $500 acres of beets for the com
pany. The Holbrook farmers rejected
this proposition and accepted the
Holly proposition. This will add ma
terially to the sugar beet interests of
the county, and will place the county
at the head of the list as sugar pro-
ducing section.
Mr.. Wiley stated that his. company
had plenty Of funds and that the work
would be done as fast as men and
money could do it.

Denver-A Fort Morgan dispatch
yesterday says: The destruction of
The Fort Morgan High school by fire
early this morning has been the main
topic of conversation on the streets to-
day.
The origin of the fire remains a
mystery. 1t was discovered shortly
after l o'clock by passersby returning
from a party. The flames at that time
were just visible near the south door
The fremcn responded promptly and a
large number of volunteers among the
people were also on the scene early
but the start the flames had secured
made il impossible to save the building
or its contents. and the Fort Morgan
school was, before 230 O'Clock, com
rletely in ruins.
The building cost nearly 100000 and
the equipment about $4,000. In addi
tion. nearly all of the books of the
pupils We're in the burned building and
entirely destroyed, the teachers hav-
ing made it a point to have the pupils
leave their books at the school in or
der that they might be entirely free
during the Christmas vacation. The
building was insured for $4,000.

The Slaughter at Moscow.

Moscow.-It is impossible to ascer-
tain the total losses resulting from the
ten days revolt, as many of the dead
and wounded have not been reported
at the hospitals, and some of the bod
les were incinerated. A personal tour
of the hospitals shows that there We're
5iS killed and 1.0G5 wounded. One
hundred and seventy-four of the in
jured taken to hospitals have since
died. The troops lost nine killed, OF
whom two were. officers, and fifty-one
wounded. OF the police force ten were
killed and fifteen wounded.
Among the killed and wounded were
a number of children, the returns gen
orally showing that innocent persons
suffered the heaviest. The final figures
of the casualties will approach 2,3O0,
the original estimate made in these dis.

eight-hour day which had been de-

take the places of the strikers and to
secure the high wages paid in this city.

A contract has just been made with
