SUGAR BEET TALK.
Has Drlfted Down the River as Far as
Great Bend.

The Great Bend Item Is urging Barton
county people to 20 after sugar factory.
1t says: sit is to be regretted that more
Of our people did not find 1t convenient
to attend the opening of the big beet
sugar factory at Garden City last week.
This is great big enterprise and no one
can visit a beet sugar factory In operation
and converse with the farmers who mar
ket beets at the factory without becoming
enthused on the subject of sugar beet cll ;
ture. This industry is in its infancy In
Kansas, but enough is known to justify
the statement that In few years the Ar
k,nsas valley will have many sugar fac
tories. The location of a beet sugar fac
tory means great deal to the town SO.
curing such location. 1t means prosper
ity beyond expectation, not only to the
town, but to the surrounding country as
well. At Garden City the factory has
been in operation but few days, but
great prosperity has already come to that
community as a result of the location of
the factory. Garden City is hayiug
veritable boom. She had but about 1900
people two years ago, and now she has
over 5000, and in year or two will take
the honors away from Great Bend Of be.
ing the largest town IN the west half of
the state. She has one bank with depos
Its of $500, 600, and another with over
$3OO,000, aud all of this away out In
western Kansas and as a direct result of
taking up with sugar beet culture.
"But now to the point. The people
who put in the Garden City factory will
next year put in factory at DeeIfleld.
Then they want to come east and put In
factory. The question Is, does Great
Bend want to court the prosperity beet
sugar factory brings? Will che 90 after
the location? The beet sugar people do
not want bonus, but they want sugar
beets and plenty of them. There is q way
to start the bail rolling for Great Bend
and it is very simple and easy to comply
with. Start in next year and raise 100
acres of sugar beets. Let ten farmers
agree to plant ten acres each TO sugar
beets next spring, The sugar factory
people will send II man down to show the
fsrmei s bow to plant, how to cultivate
and how to harvest the crop. They will
do more than that; they will agree to
take every beet raised and pay the price
paid at Garden City, paying the freight
themselves. That is certainly encour-
agement enough. Ten farmers could
thus demonstrate fully Just what kind Of
beets can be raised here and how profita-
bic. the crop is, and at the same time get a
good price for their labor. Let's quit
talking and 90 to work and do some
thing. Who are the farmers who will
agree to plant ten acres each to sugar
beets next spring."

GOOD ATTRACTION.
"The Holy City" Billed for the GIuck
Opera House Dec. n.

"The Holy City" Billed for the GIuck
Opera House Dec. Fl.
"The Holy City" will be the attraction
at the Gluck Opera house on Friday, Dec.
81. This Is certainly one Of the finest
and most gorgeously staged productions
ever presented 10 this city. The play is
a revelation to the theatre goers, mas
much as the story Of the play deals with
an entirely different theme from any
thing yet attempted. Every character
and theme ln this beautiful drama Is of
Biblical history. 1t is q play that is
chaste, instructive and leaves q great
moral lesson behind II. The oostuming
and stage accessories are magnificent,
and the characters, twenty six In all, are
portrayed by actors Of recognized ability,
who are conscientious in their work, and
fully equal to the roles assigned them.
The cast Is headed by Miss Luella
Morey as "Salome," the daughter of
"Herodias." such production as "The
Holy City" leaves an impression that
will long be remembered, and is one of
the few great productions that tend to
elevate the stage to the highest standard
of art. A play which appeals to all who
desire to witness clean, wholesome and
intellectual drama.

CHAPTER XXIX.

VT was December now. and winter
 had set in early. Temple found
 it exceedingly difficult to secure \ the assistant surveyors, rodsmen, chainmen and the rest, whose services were absolutely necessary, but by dint of hard work be at last completed the organization of his several engineering corps and set to work surveying the line, locating it, establishing grades and the like
 Hurry it as he might, the work was very slow because of the bad weather, but at least it went forward, and early in January gangs of men were sent into each county to make a show, at least, of construction work and thus to avoid all possibility of the forfeiture of the county and town subscriptions.
 The greatest difficulty encountered was in meeting the requirement that a car should actually cross the line be- tween the two counties by noon of the 18th of March. That part of the line was peculiarly difficult of access. It could be reached only by a twenty-five mile journey across country, over roads which in the winter were well nigh impossible. In order to build any sort of railroad line at the point involved 1t was necessary to carry across country all the tools, earth cars and construction materials. together with a large company of workmen. Huts must be built to shield the men froh the severity of the weather, and provisions for them must be hauled over twenty-five miles of swamp roads. In order to do so streams must be bridged for the wagons and in many places the road must be "corduroyed" for many miles of It's extent-that is to say, 1t must be paved with unhewn logs laid side by side across it.
 It was near the end of February. therefore, before anything like sys- tematic construction at that point could he got under way.
 Meanwhile Duncan's mission to New York had been successful, though 1t was attended by much of difficulty. He had secured the necessary stock subscriptions. and. better still. he had succeeded in inducing one of the great trunk lines of the east to guarantee considerable bond issue on the part of the new road under an agreement that when completed 1t should be made in effect m extension of the esetern com- pany's lines.

HOW TO WEAR THE HAIR.
Velvet Ribbons and Ornaments of Va rious Kinds Are Again the Fash
 ion for My Lady's Presses.

Something in the hair is again one of the must hayes. For day wear the black velvet ribbon is beginning to rival the elaborate set of combs. It is put on two ways. either as a snooi hidden at the sides of the low rolled hair. or it is tied around the high knot with bow in front.
 A bunch of little curls intermixed with a pun or two Is the fashionable knot. and it is done at an exaggerated height and in the evening is tied around with a eolored velvet ribbon to match the gown. The sight Of this hairdressing is welcome relief from the low dressings with the rolled pompadour and line of combs.
 Another arrangement of curls shows them at the back of the head under

 Duncan had scarcely finished the iishing up of the unsavory corned beef, the only merit of which was that 1t was sufficiently cooked. when a dis patch came to him from the New York bankers whom he had left in charge of the company's interests, in the f1nan- :ial capital. They telegraphed:
 Tandy reports that you have completely failed to build across county line. The others give notice that. if so. they will defect road to Paducah. Tandy offers subscriptions of vast sum from counties. towns, Paducah and his Memphis and Ohio road. What answer shall we give? Answer by telegraph.
 This message acted like an electric shock. It quickened every pulse of puncan's being. It nerved him to new sndeavor and renewed determination He promptly replied:
 Tell them to wait till time is up. They have given their promise. and I have given mine. I will keep mine. They must keep theirs. Tell them I'm not dead yet
 Then Duncan went to inspect the progress of the work.

 What are you going to do with Temple?

I'll smooth your way by telegraphing our core spondents in New York and the off cers of the Fourth National asking them to help you. Stafford. you'd bet ter go home now.

 So ended conference that was des- tined by the success or failure of its purpose to decide the fate of great enterprise and the future of a thriving city, to say nothing of the career of a brilliant young man.
