ing Around Cheyenne.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., Feb. 11-(Special.)-
General Superintendent j. r. Phelan of the
Burlington spent Friday night and yestcr-
day here looking over the situation with
reference to the extension OF the Holdrcge-
Cheyenne line on west through the city and
out across the Laramie plains. Mr.. Phelan
would make no positive statements for
publication, but admitted that his company
will shortly carry out plans that will be
OF vast benefit to Cheyenne and Wyoming
and to Denver and northern Colorado. He
did say that the company will extend its
-Thermopois line southwesterly and
come into Cheyenne from the west.
From a member of the party 1t was
learned positively that the Burlington will
at once build across Wyoming to Salt Lake
City, but has not yet determined which
route to follow, the one from Guernsey or
Cheyenne 1t is believed, however. the lat
ter will be selected, and that the Guernsey
line will be extended southwesterly to a
connection with the through line from
Cheyenne west. The Frannie-Thermopolis
line will be pushed on southwest to Lyons,
Colo thus giving the Burlington a through
north and south line via Denver, Lyons,
Cheyenne Thermopolis, Frannie, Taluca
and Billings.

BEET GROWERS ARE ORGANIZING
Have Many Grievances Against the
standard Company.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Feb. 11.-(Spe-
cial)-The spirit manifest elsewhere for
beet growers to organize has become rife
in Lincoln county and is being carried
into careful plans OF organization for the
benefit of those who grow the vegetable.
A meeting has been called at the court
house OF Lincoln county, in this city, FOR
February Is for the purpose of organizing
a county association of beet growers In
this county the agitation began at Suther-
land and the conditions arc ripe for a sue
cessful ganization OF all the beet growers
In the county
The causes which have brought about
the state of affairs are many grievances
which the growers have had with the
Standard Beet Sugar company. which con-
tracted much land in this neighborhood in
the name of Hayward G.. Leavitt Deavitt
executed written contracts in this and
Keith and Dawson counties in which he
agreed with the beet growers that he would
construct at some point in Lincoln county
sugar beet factory in time for the crop
OF 1906. This promise was made upon
condition that there should be approved
contracts to grow 5000 acres Of beets and
sell same to Leavitt for So per ton. The
acreage was secured and Leavitt made the
announcement that the factory would be
built To a meeting of the Commercial
club of this city and of the beet growers
Mr. Leavitt last year stated that he would
have to have the factory begun in the
fall Of 1905 II the same should be used
for the 1906 crop. The contracts obligated
the growers to furnish to Mr.. Lcavitt the
crop grown on stated acreage for a
period of three years. Some time ago Mr..
Leavitt published notice In a local paper
here that he had heard threats of parties
going back on their obligations and warned
them that they had entered into q solemn
agreement in writing to grow the beets
for three years and that they would be
expected to comply with the written terms
of their agreement. Yesterday Mr.. Leav-
lit authorized the publishing of a letter in
which he stated that he would not build
the factory which he had agreed in writing
to do In the same solemn instrument which
was signed by the beet growers.
