last Thursday for work In the beet
fields. Half of these we're later sent

section. There were about 600 per-
sons In the outfit. They also had
eleven carloads of household goods
and belongings.
Twelve thousand acres of the 2O,-

Otherwise the car is regular

REPORT GOOD
HAS NOTICED
OUR SUGAR INDUSTRY
Other States are now Being In
vestigated by Agricultural
Department for Beet
Culture

President Roosevelt recently sent
congress report on the progress of
the beet sugar industry in 1905, pre-
pared by Charles F. Saylor of the
agricultural department. The re-
port says success attended the beet
sugar industry in Colorado since the
beginning. The season of 1905 was
better than usual.
Colorado holds an unique position
in developing the sugar industry.
1t entered the field at compare
lively recent date, but already 12
large plants have been Installed with
a daily capacity of 5000 tons, three
other factories, at Brush, Fort
Morgan and Swink, are being built
with capacity of 2,4OO tons, and
three others are to be built during
the present year. Fifteen factories
with an aggregate daily capacity of
IL 900 tons of beets and 1,276 tons of
sugar, represent money equivalent
of $12, 76O, 900.
The beet sugar industry in that
state has stimulated all sorts of i'm
provements.
The report shows Utah the third
state to enter upon the sugar beet
production. The start was made at
Lehi in 1891 and the growth has been
healthful ever since. The over pro-
duction of beets soon stimulated the
erection of other factories. The beet
districts of Utah are said to be bet.
ter irrigated than in any other state.
Five factories of Utah have combined
capacity of 1900 tons. Utah's best
production has been much damaged
by white fly pest, to which entomo-
logists of the department of agricul-
ture will Immediately give their at
tention in the hope of eradicating
the insect.
Idaho is one of the newest and
least developed states agriculturally,
but the installment of sugar factor
les has given a remarkable impetus
to agricultu development gener-
ally. Idaho soil has rare qualities
for sugar production. Prior to this
season Idaho had three sugar factor
les of 300 tons daily capacity, two
others are contracted for, one at
Napa for 1906 and one at Payette for
1907.
Wyoming is now under investiga-
tion. Beets grown there are OF high
quality, and Utah and Colorado capi-
tai has turned toward that state be-
cause of cheap fuel and good water.
The report says it is likely that
Wyoming, like Idaho, will suddenly
lump into prominence among the
sugar states of the west.

ACTED VERY QUICKLY
Court Squelched Dilatory Water
Company at Brighton

The Northern Colorado Irrigation
company was quickly brought to
time Friday when Judge Armour Of
Brighton issued an order compelling
it to furnish water to owners of
farms living along its bitches for
irrigation purposes at 81 per acre for
the coming season. The plaintiffs
in the case were Emele E. Pouppirt,
A. G. Ebert and others.
The company has been demanding
81. IS per acre for water, whereas the
commissioners Of Adams and Arapa-
hoe counties fixed the price at 81.
For three years the plaintiffs have
been trying in the courts to force
the company to furnish water at 81
per acre, but through dilatory objec-
tions the defendant mas always man.
aged to delay hearing until the fr-
rigation season was so far advanced
that the water users received little
or no benefit.
When this condition of affairs was
made known to Judge Armour, he
promptly overruled all objections
interposed on the part of the COM
pany and required the defendant to
file its answer instanter, which was
done. and the Judgment was then
given to the plaintiff upon the
pleadings. The Judgment was in
stantly signed, and the writ issued
by the court was served upon S. J.
Gilmore, president of the defendant
company before he boarded the train
for Denver.
To get water the farmers must
make their tender and demands at
once and notify Louis Dougal at
room 10 Jacobson building, Denver.
