mas mad good tone again during the
week 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
prices. Prices We're 10 to 15 cents
higher on the general run of cattle,
and some statesmen thought choice beef
steers were quarter higher. Top
steers sold at si.25 during the week,
several lunches 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 We're good sellers and everything
offered was disposed of at strong
prices. Best brought s3.35, 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 500 to $500, with medium to fair
at s2.20 to $3.50. and Gamers from
$2-25 down. Bulls were strong and
top for the week was made at $3.50.
Neals We're also good sellers. best
bringing $3.50. Feeder and stocker
trade had very good tone. but the
supply of choice stun was limited.
Good steers were wanted and even the
commoner grades were in fair request.
Prices We're 10 to 10 cents higher on
the best and strong on common stuff.
Sales ranged largely from S3.25 to
S3.s5, with tops at $3.50. A good many
of the offerings We're of poor quality
and had TO sell below $500.
Hog supply was light this week and
paackers would have bought a 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 week ago. Tops are now
selling around $500 to s5.25.
Sheep receipts have been fair this
week. but bulk of them were pea-fed

there is very little change in quota

The FARM AND RANGE
New sugar Fsetories.

Every sugar factory built In the
state means the addition of nearly a
million of dollars to the production of
sugar. 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. It is making things grow
where none grew before-the kind of
business that lasts long into the future
and is a 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 a frac-
tional 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 5.O8b 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-
ton 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
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 il the union in few
years more. 1t is the kind that counts.

Humane Jailbirds.

A remarkable display of disinterest-
ed humanity is reported from the Al
gerian town of Boaigie, on the part
of six men under arrest The steamer
Malvina was laundering near the
shore, the live-saving apparatus was
too defective to work and the specta-
tors on land were too panic-stricken
to do anything. Grasping the sitna-
ton, the six prisoners, who were be-
ing taken to gaol. with the consent
of the policemen in charge Of them. at
once set to work to organize rescue.
They got out the life belts. themselves
swan to the steamer. distributed belts
and other things among the women.
and had done great deal to overcome
danger to life when rescue party of
customs officers arrived Then the
men swan back to shore. and. with
out troubling about the policemen, re-
ported themselves at the prison. A

TEN YEARS IN PRISON.
Heavy Sentences for Denver Savings
Bank Wreckers.

Denver. Leonard Imboden and
James A. Hill. found guilty by jury
of conspiracy to loot the Denver Saw
ings Bank, were on Saturday sentenced
to term in the penitentiary OF not
less than nine nor more than ten years.
A stay of execution of sentence for
thirty days was granted to allow an
appeal-that is, the prisoners will re-
main in the county jail for that period.
or until higher court has intervened.
AS soon as the record man be com
pleted, and 1t Is nearly ready, although
one of the longest to be presented to
the Supreme Court since the Graves
murder trial, an application will be
made to the State Supreme Court for
a writ of supersedeas-a process In law
that would mean bail for the two de-
PENDANTS until such time as the higher
court had time to examine the records
and decide whether error or errors had
prevailed in the trial court sufficient to
order a new trial there.
If the Supreme Court should refuse
to intercede and permit the appeal
from the lower court to take the usual
course, a hearing in year or two
years, a further step will be taken
there on an application for a writ of
habeas corpus, on the plea that the de-
PENDANTS are being unlawfully de-
tanned II this should be refused, then
the federal courts will be appealed to
for relief. 1t will be contended that the
defendants were illegally convicted, in
that the state, contrary to the constitu-
tion, seized evidence and used the
same against the owners thereof, to-
wit: the famous Imboden-Hill CORE
spondence. The other points raised
during sfie trial will also be urged be-
for the appellate courts.

NEW SUGAR FACTORY.
La Junta People Wide Awake and Sue
cessful.

Denver-A Republican special from
La Junta Friday says: The La Junta
Board of Trade gave a smoker to-
night which was largely attended,
nearly 300 citizens being present. The
city park addition to La Junta was
plated recently. This park contains
twenty acres and has small lake in
the center. In the park addition are
fortysix residence lots, each pur-
chaser paying 800 each for the lot,
and at the smoker tonight the lots
were drawn. The deed for each lot
contains 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
acres had been pledged. La Junta
business men then pledged individ-
ually from ten to twenty acres each,
which will add 400 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 present
and stated that as soon as the con

Awful Tales Told by Refugees in New
York.

New York.-Reports of how the
dead are mutilated to terrify the living
in Russia were brought here to-day by
Russian refugees, 700 of whom arrived
on the steamer Pennsylvania. One
woman told of having seen a young
married woman Kill her child rather

Another refugee related how, in the
town OF Nova Moscow, five drunken
soldiers marched through the streets
carrying arms. a dead baby with a
bayonet run through its body being
displayed at the end of each gun.
Lever Landominski, a dry goods
merchant. who had 10000 roubles, or
about $4,000. which he had saved in
his flight, said that it was a common
thing to see men strung up feet first
and lying dead along the route of the
railroad. He left his wife and their
child in Russia and came here to es-
tablish a home for them.
Wolf Sobak, from Crinishoff. near
Odessa, said.

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 as follows:
over $3.50, 100000 worth of grains is
destroyed each year; S53,OO0,OOO
worth of hay and forage; over S5O,OOO,-
900 in cotton; S5,500,000 in tobacco;
S53 900, 900 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; s6,000,000 in miscel-
laneous crops; over S175, 900 in ami
mails and their products, and well over
800 900 900 of the products kept in
storage, forming grand total of al
most 81, ,O0O, ,O00, ,000.
The insects which take this toll and
the amounts taken by each are as fol
lows: The weevil in grains, 100000
900; the boil weevil and boil worm in
cotton. S24 900 900; the chinch bug in
corn and grain, 100000, 900; the grass
hopper, $50, 100000 worth of growing
things; cabbage work, s5,000.000; po-
tato bug, $S,O00,000; San Jose scale in
orchards, 100000, 900; various insect
pests to the animal industry, S175,000,-
900.
AS 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
a menace to health and wealth.

Some time ago the Gray Bull Club.
in response to the urgent requests of
bachelor ranchmen desiring to enter

housewives needing domestics, issued
a call which was published in the lead

names of women of marriageable age,
and females capable of teaching,
clerking and doing housework.
Although the call was issued less
than two weeks ago, Secretary Barrow
of the Gray Bull Club has been
swamped with letters from women in
all parts of the country. Some desire
places as clerks. stenographers and
teachers. while others are frank
enough TO admit that they are seeking
husbands.
The secretary OF the club has en-.
gagged a number of assistants and the
heavy correspondence is being at
tended to as well as possible. Some
of the letters have been forwarded to
those in need of help and to bachelors

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 p
Tanner against the Treasury Tunnel,
Mining and Reduction Company. II Is
held that parties working a mining
claim may tunnel under property be
longing to another IL they so desire,
but that the parties so tunnelling must
pay for the value of the ore taken out.
For the sixth time, the long dispute
between Frank G.. Patterson and
others, on the one side. and the Fort
Lyons Canal Company on the other.
has been passed upon, and. 1t 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 to
do this, and decided the rights were
valid.
A county judge may call in another

rivers and arms of the Sea within the
territorial jurisdiction were in the
king, who held the same for his sub
jects. who had a common right of fish
cry therein. The right of fishing in the
open sea, like that of navigation was
a public right. Congress recognized
that principle in it's repeal of all laws
pertaining to private and exclusive
fisheries. 1t manifested it's intention
except as to vested rights, to make
fishing in the sea waters of this Ter
ritory a common right to citizens of
the United States, for. their free use
and benefit. But Congress did not APP
preciate the extent to which vested
rights in fisheries obtained in these is
lands. The early statutes fostered a
custom far reaching in it's scope. Ear
~ land tenure concentrated land hold
ings in a few, and the right to sea
fisheries appurtenant to the lands
built up practically exclusive dominion
over adjoining sea waters. One can
only appreciate the extent of the 50
claims filed by an examination of the
coast lines covered by the appended !
list of cases instituted for the purpose
of establishing fishing rights. And the !
Supreme Court of the United states
has declared these rights to be vested
while Congress has enacted that these
private and exclusive rights to sea fish
cries must be acquired by the Terri
tory for the use of the citizens of the
United States. The Territory, how
ever, is without funds and without the
ability to borrow the money in settle
ment of these claims. The organic
law required that proceedings in con-
domination must be instituted, but be-
fore these proceedings are commenced
there must be the available funds to
satisfy whatever judgment in condem-
nation may be awarded against the
Territory. We are at present without
the information as to what the total
value of these fisheries will amount
to. Congressional assistance by proper
appropriation of money is the only
method by which citizens of
he United States can secure for them
selves that right which is preserved
