Too Many Beets for the Factories
Which Do Net Silo.

The sugar beet crop around Gree
ley has gone so far beyond cxpccta-
,ions that the factories will have dif-
ficulty in caring for the crop before
4 large portion Of il spoils.
II Is estimated that there will be
more than 10000 tons OF bccts Al
the three Weld county factories than
had been anticipated when contracts
were made in the spring. So many
farmers asked for contracts that about
1000 acres more than were needed
for the campaign were signed. Added
to this the crop yielded nearly rs pei
cent better than had been expected.
Bccis arc pouring in so fast at the
different loading stations that u Is
practically impossible to care for then,
and thousands Of tons arc being piled
up about tho dumps.

VIC failed to get good stand
OF bcets from the September
planting and will plant more
beet seed this week. II NAV be
a little late TO obtain fair sized
bcets, but NC will have bee,
greens or salad anyway. .As
they will grow slowly VIC can
have them as salad for weeks,
and We like them better than
turnips or mustard for salad or
greens. We begin TO use them
when the tops arc two or three
inches high and cook roots and
all. cooking Just as we do tur.
nip salad and serving with a
little vinegar. The ycrdic, OF
all who eat them is that beet
salad beats all others. We arc
planting mustard also this week
for the supply OF mustard salad
for late winter and early spring.
We thought We had plenty OF
turnips: but have decided we
can use more. 80 are sowing
more OF the Purple Top ,urnip
seed this week. We know DC.
tober first is considered a little
late. but we have the garden
rows in fine condition. we'll fer.
tilted with stable manure aud
droppings from the poultry
house, with a little cottonsced
meal stirred lightly into the top
soil for 4 "startcr''; and believe
they will grow all right and
make turnips by the Holidays.
II not. we will have those thin
ned out in tho meantime for
salad and green iced for the

RELIEF FUND is LOOTED.
Money Sent Mayor Schmitz Is Not
Accounted For.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-The Chron-
icle says today:
A new investigation is progressing in
the course of developments in the local
graft scandal. 1t now appears that
many sums of money, large and small,
that were sent from different states to
San Francisco for the relief of the suf-
ferers from the calamity never reached
the relief committee. Some of these
amounts, which aggregated a large
sum, were mailed to the care of Mayor
Schmitz. F. J. Heney, Detective Will
liam Burns and about 100 government
agents have been making an investiga-
tion. President Roosevelt is the NOV
ing spirit behind the inquiry, and he
declares that no man guilty of diverting
the relief funds shall escape justice
The cases come within the iurisdic-
ton of the Federal authorities because
of the interstate character of the postal
service, which, it is alleged, was crim-
Inally tampered with.
A considerable sum of money was al
so sent through the express companies
and Wells-Fargo, which companies are
now investigating the disappearance of
$lO,5 sent in one package from the
citizens of Searchlight, Nev., which the
relief committee says it never received,
and which the company says was deliv-
cred to the representative of the COM
mittee to whom it was addressed. The
crime of forgery is said to be included
in the offense of the raiders of the re-
lief contributions 1t is said that in
the aggregate the stealings will amount
to 81 900 900.

FOR RIVERS AND HARBoRs.


btdbCTW ways GyGtYNtttCFSsI-s
A national congress of American COM
mercial bodies interested in the devel-
opment of internal waterways and har-
Dor improvements will meet in Wash
ington ON the sixth and seventh of De-
cember. Oregon will be represented
by delegation from the Portland
chamber of commerce.
The purpose of the congress is main
ly to prevail upon the United States
authorities to pass a measure calling
for an appropriation of fifty millions
annually for river and harbor improve
ment. Even should such a measure
pass it would still be but fraction of
what other great nations are expending
annually upon their waterways. The
movement is a national expression of
the knowledge that water competition
is the one great cheapener of railroad
freight rates-railways that compete
with rivers for traffic do not pay ex-
travagant dividends upon watered stock
In those sections of the country
wherein the railroads are compelled to
carry freight in competition with river
craft the rates are from one-third to
one-sixth of those ruling where water
competition is not factor. 1t is told
of cotton section in Texas that the
canalizing of a very insignificant stream
so as to be available for fiat bottomed
canal boats, lowered the freight rates
so radically as to make saving to
small community of three million dol
lars annually. As matter of fact the
canalized stream carried but small
percentage of the traffic upon which
this large saving was effected, but the
fact that the stream was available for
traffic compelled the railways to meet
the water competition.
The Rivers and Harbors congress
will discuss the improvement of the
Oregon and Washington waterways and
the removal of obstructing bars at the
entrances of the harbors and will seek |
TO impress upon the congress of the ma
ton the importance of these improve
ments to the farming and mercantile
