SUGAR BtEr PROSPECT

EDITOR TRIBUNE: | believe the
next part Of the country 20 be adj
vanced for beet culture viii be the
large alfalfa farms lying just 10 the
east Of La Junta and under the fine
old Fort Lyon ditch. | hardly think
La Junta realizes the immense adj
vantage and benefit that will be-
derived from this source as soon as
these large farms are cut up into
beet cultivating size Of from 20 10
40 acres. This tract of land contains
about four thousand acres Of as fine
beet land as exists anywhere and il
has been demonstrated that there
is nothing equaling alfalfa ground
for beets. This land lies within
from one mile out TO about eight.
all of which is close to the main line
of the railroad A location for beet
dump could be selected that would
not place any Of this land over two
miles from it, provided the river was
bridged. There is already move
on the part of the sugar interests
that are grasping for supporting
territory To get this fine body of
land, with its finest Of water rights,
into small tracts and under the in
tense farming system Of beet cul-
ture. and undoubtedly within a very
short time there will be something
doing down that way. Practically,
speaking there Is not an acre of
beets raised in this territory for the
factory. The farms all being so
large. all Of the time of the owners
is spent with their immense hay and
grain fields. but with a bridge and
beet shipping facilities this land will
be- too valuable to remain under its
present system of cultivation. And
again. this land lies parallel with
the new country being opened up
under the Otero ditch extension.
Whatever will benefit the one will
be help to the other. and in a few
years we will see this immense terri
tory working together for their
common interests and under an in
tense farming system for beets and
eantaloupes. which is bound to give
La Junta big push forward as an
agricultural town. the best founda-
tion a city can he built upon.

OBSERVER.

Our correspondent seems to be
rather optimistic regarding the
development of the sugar beet in
dustry in the Arkansas Valley. but
he is quite right in believing that il
Is only in its infancy as yet. The
Rocky Ford and Las Animas news
papers seem TO be opposed TO the
building of additional sugar factories
in the Valley unless they bear the
brand of the American Beet Sugar Co.
They are evidently afraid that the
business will be overdone. They
are doing everything in their power
to belittle and antagonize the Swink-
Holly project. and in doing this we
do not believe they are exercising
wisdom. There is plenty of room in
the Arkansas Valley for more sugar
beet factories. and in time il viii be
the greatest sugar beet growing
country in the world. II viii only
be few years until La yunta has a
beet sugar factory east of town.
The land under the Otero extension
has been analyized and has been
pronounced by experts to contain
more of the elements necessary to
the greatest success in growing

are now working in Woodward

west. The line Of the new road is
through Woodward and Beaver
counties in Oklahoma and thence
north into Colorado, running almost
direct To Denver. The route out
lined will take it through the heart
Of the farming section near Lamar.
and there is no reason why the indie
pendent line now being built north

that the Santa Fe has aquired the

order to have a more direct line be-
tween Denver and Galveston will
only have to extend il from kiowa

construction is an early prospect.

Elephants Break in Church.

Cincinnati, o.. April "A herd
of elephants broke loose from their
keepers as they were being loaded
into cars at the Hagenbeck winter
quarters yesterday, and after tear
ing down fences and uprooting
trees charged in a body on the
First Baptist Colored church at
Elmwood Place and the congrega-
ton fled for their lives.
The leader of the herd broke
down the door of the church, but
before he could enter the worship
pers had departed by way of the
windows. The stampeders then
amused themselves by tearing up
the church yard.
The elephants, numbering eleven
were captured by mounted men,
after creating about $500 worth of
damages.
After the excitement had died
down the members of the congre
cation made a demand on the
circus management for the offer
ing which was lost because of the
panic and it was granted.

UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS.
We Have Eight Commissioned Officers Including The
ChapIans and Paymaster.

The Kansas City Journal OF a
recent date says:
Uncle Sam has on his long pay
roll eight Negro commissioned Of
ficers of his army, three of these
beiug line officers, while the others
are chaplains and paymaster.
By the army organization act of
July 2S, 1866, there were designat-
ed four regiments of Negroes.
These regiments are now the Ninth
and Tenth regiments of cavalry
and the Twenty-Fourth and Twen-
ty-Fifth regiments of infantry, and
since their formation these Negro
regiments have had assigned to
them a Negro chaplain.
Probably the best known of all
the!Negro chaplains is Allen Allen
worth, now on leave of absence at
Los Angeles, Cal, awaiting retire
ment. Captain Allenworth has
seen much active duty, and his
service with the "Fighting Forth. :"
which did good work in Cuba, has
been continuous since his entry
into the army on April 1, 1886.
Next to him as to age and ser
vice is Theophilns G.. Steward,
who was appointed on July 20,
1891, from the District of Colum-
bia and assigned to that other
fighting infantry regiment, the
Brunette Twenty fifty" His SER
vice has also been continuous with
the regiment to which he was first
assigned.
The present chaplain of the
Ninth cavalry is George Washing
ton Prioleau, a native of South
Carolina, but appointed from
Ohio. All of his service has been
with the Barricks, Missouri. He
has fourteen years of service be-
fore him.
The last of these chaplains is
William T. Anderson, now with
his regiment, the Tenth cavalry,
which has also seen service in
Cuba and the Philippines.
The last of the Negro staff Off
GERS of the army is John R. Lynch
of the pay department, who enter
ed the service in June, 1898, as an
additional paymaster of volunteers,
with the rank of major, which po-
sition he held for three years, until
honorably discharged in May 1901,
when he was appointed to the per-
manent establishment as paymas-
ter with the rank of captain.
The only Negro officer in the
army who IS a West Pointer, is
Charles Young, at present on duty
as military attache at Port au
Prince, Hayti. Captain Young
) entered the Military academy IN
1884, and was not graduated until
1889, when he was commissioned
an additional second lieutenant
and assigned to the Tenth cavalry
where he remained only about one
month when he was transferred tc
The Colorado statesman., 1906-04-14

the Twenty-fift infantry as a
second lieutenant. In this regi,
ment he remained only twenty
seven days, when he was again
transferred to the Ninth cavalry,
where he remained until promoted
to first lieutenant on December %,
1896, when he was assigned to the
Seventh cavalry, white regiment.
He remained with the regiment for
about ten months. until he made a
transfer back to his old love, the
Ninth cavalry. He was promoted
captain in February, 1901. and
eighty-eight captains viii have to
move out of the way before he be-
comes a field officer with the rank
of major.
There are two Negro officers
who have won their spurs by COM
ing from the line by competitive
examination. They are Lieutenant
Benjamin O. Davis, of the Tenth
cavalry, now on duty as military
instructor at Wilberforce univer-
sity at Wilberforce, o., and Lieu
tenant John E. Green, Twenty
