of employing eminent talent from
outside the state to come and ad-
dress the teachers. Two years ago
they employed DIR. G. Stanley Hall
of Clark University, the leading
child study specialist of the world.
Last year they had President Jordan

handicraft In the public schools.
Each Of these three will deliver four
lectures or formal addresses before
the association. DR.. Vincent will
lecture in the First Baptist church
on the evening Of Thursday, the

Shortage of Locomotives.

The news comes from Kansas City
that it is not car famine that the
railroads are up against, but a fam
inc of motive power with which to
move the freight. Last Saturday a
count of the empty cars In the yards
at Kansas City showed that there
were 1000 empty cars there, many OF
these box cars. The yards were lit
orally congested with empty cars and
not enough locomotives to move even
the loaded ones.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Mayor Frank J. Green in Train
Collision

Mayor Franklin j. Green had a
much more narrow escape with his
life in the railroad yards at Cheyenne
early last Thursday morning than
when he ran for the legislature this
fall. He went to Cheyenne to meet
A. l.. Mumper who was bringing In
2, 600 head of sheep from the Wyom-
ing ranges. that the two we're going
to put on feed. While the train
crew was making up the train to
come to Greeley Green and Mumper
lay down to rest on the seats of the
caboose. When the train was al
ready the brakeman came back to
the caboose, intending to let it
move slowly down grade to the train.
The brakes would not work and the
car was soon running at twenty miles
an hour and gaining speed every
moment. The brakeman then called
to the two men to jump for their
lives. Mr.. Green was sleeping
soundly by this time but Mumper
managed to awaken him enough SO
that the two jumped, Green being
far enough behind so that the ca
boose was demolished right behind
him, almost before he had touched
the ground.
Green sustained a few bruises In
his fall but was not seriously hurt.
while II he had waited even second
or two he would have been smashed
with the caboose against the end Of
the first sheep car Of the train.

4 PROFITABLE CROP
Pork Raising Here Would Be q
Winner

In recent speech on hog raising
in Colorado, Prof. Cottrell, of th'
State Agricultural college, has th'
following to say on the subject:
1.-The hog is to become Colorado''
great meat producer. Why? Be
cause barley can be raised here IL
great quantities. 1t has to be very
dry in order. to keep this crop out
Barley gives the finest of bacon, and
good bacon is what we want. We
don't want to ship in Nebraska pork
as we have been doing. We must
supply ourselves and have to sell.
"Great opportunities are presented
in the San Luis valley and around
Rifle for hog raising. 1t almost
rivals the land about Bloomington,
III. now selling at 5000 an acre. You
have wonderful chances right here,
too, and what are you going to do
with them?
'One big raiser says to become a
successful hog grower, you must be
one of them. l think this is pretty
true.
Feed hog from birth all he can
eat, SO that at seven months 1t Will
weigh at least 200 pounds.
"Take a pig while young and he
will gain pound of flesh on pound
of good feed. At later day, it Will
take five pounds to make a pound OF
weight.
"Our Colorado men are too prone
to wean pigs too soon. Let them
nurse eight or ten weeks ana you
will make no serious mistake.
after it is weaned, feed it all it
will eat three times a day. Give 1t
alfalfa, a little grain, etc. 1t is
estimated that an acre OF good
alfalfa will produce 1000 pounds OF
pork. 1t should give at least TOO
pounds.
BE careful about green pea feed
ing. Twill paralyze the hind quar-
tiers. You will get double gain If
YOU feed hay. About pound day
of grain fed at night, after the pig
weighs fifty pounds, the animal Will
gain rapidly. If fed grain in the
he will be inclined to lie
around and not 80 out in the pasture.
Back in rainy, cold Iowa, the
farmers are getting rich raising hogs.
If they knew The possibilities here,
they would come to our parts In big
numbers and would be only a short
time until the sparsely settled Sec
lions would all be filled up"

Big PAY Day at Factories.

The Great Western Sugar company
paid out 1904, 900 for beets last Satur-
day for the month ending Nov. 30.
OF this amount s2l0, 900 was paid out
at the Greeley factory, s2l5, 600 at
the Eaton factory and sl77, 900 at the
Windsor factory.
This makes total Of 81, 100000

pany for the three factories this fall.
In addition to this workmen have
been drawing about S75, 900 month

ON CONTRACT
BEET GROWERS HELD SES-
SION HERE SATURDAY
Will Ask no Silo Clause; Flat
Rate of Five Dollars Per
Ton and Some Other
Provisions

One of the largest meetings Of beet
growers ever held in the city was
that of last Saturday afternoon in
the state armory, when members OF
the local beet growers association
and many others came together for
the purpose of discussing the pros
poets for the industry next season.
Fl. C. Watson was chairman and
Chester Howard secretary of the
meeting.
A committee composed of E. G.
Knight, R. W. Devinney and N. D.
Bartholomew was appointed to diaw
up a form of contract that would In
every way be suitable to the beet
growers, as against the one that
will be presented by the sugar COM
pany shortly after Jan. l.
This committee was instructed to
include the following provisions In
the proposed contract: A fat rate
of s5 per ton for beets, and no slid
ing scale on sugar percentage; the
arbitrary acceptance of beets by the
company after Oct. Is, instead OF
Oct. 20 as at present; striking out
the clause referring to frozen beets
and their non-accaptance by the
company; signing no contract with
l siloing in the field clause.
With these changes from the con-
tract now in use the old form of con-
/ tract was pronounced satisfactory to
those attending the meeting.
There seemed to be general feel
ing of satisfaction with the way
. things have turned out in the beet
industry this fall, considering that
things looked so blue for a while.
$ The company has accepted all of the
3 beets. even those that were frozen
E and thawed out until they were
black. The only dissatisfaction
appears to be with the lack of un-
loading facilities that delays the
farmers at the beet dumps and causes
considerable expense.
7 The contract that the beet growers
are going to draw up, according TO
the instructions of the committee,
will put down in black and white
practically what the sugar company
is giving this year voluntarily, out
J side of the contract.
A meeting of the Beet Growers
association Of northern Colorado
will be held at Fort Collins today
and about a dozen or more beet
growers from the Greeley section
will attend. At this meeting fur
ther discussion will be had OF the
1907 contract that may be adopted by
the farmers all over the northern
part of the state. ....
The contract committee will not
take any action until after the large
meeting today, and after form OF
contract has been drafted another
mass meeting of beet growers will be
called here for its consideration.
H. e. Watson resigned as presi-
dent of the association, and Charles
f. Mason was elected in his stead.

tors, preachers aud book writer's have for years
and years been making it their business to de-
nounce the South for the lynchng of negroes,
without lifting a voice in denunclatlon OF the
frightful crime for which the brute was lynched.
For years and years the South has pleaded with
the North to see the matter from the point OF
view of the father, the brother and the husband
of the victim. Year after year, our plea to this
effect has gone unheard Even now, when all
most every community in the Sou th is standing
with its hands close to its weapons. Northern
editors, Northern preachers and Northern poll
ticians are continuing to persist IN their exag'
gerating misconception of the actual facts.
AS proof of the state of mind produced in
the negro by the teaching that the negro race is
as good as the white race, let our readers con-
slider the clipping found elsewhere, which is
taken from the Liberator, negro paper, pub
lished in Los Angeles Think of the arrogant
iusolence of negro editor who, in speaking OF
the inter-marriage of the races would take the
position that it is THE WHITE WOMAN WHO RUNS
AFTER THE NEGRO MAN. Think of the insolence
of negro editor who writes sentence like this:
''IF THE WHITE WOMAN IS WILLING AND PER-
s1sTENr, BLACK MEN NOW AND THEN CONSENT
TO MARRY THEM"
DO you wonder that Wnen aWnlte mdn Iedus
a sentence like that he should feel the passions
of hell begin to stir in his soul? What are ne.
gro editors thinking about when they toss fire
brands into powder houses in that reckless
defiant manner?
When T. Thos Fortune, the negro editor
of New York-whose abuse of me The Macon
Telegraph paraded on its editorial page dellb'
erately expresses his wish that the negroes OF
Atlanta will kill the whites in retaliation for the
whites killing the blacks, what does he suppose
will be the natural outcome of such challenge
to the whites who have been reused to frenzy
by repeated outrages upon white women, IN the
very heart of the Capital City of the state?
When the editors of the negro publications
like ''The Voice of the Negro" puts the whites
upon notice that the negro whom we called the

and that in the near future the negro will stand
up for absolute equality in all things civil polit.
cal, and social, what are they doing but sowing
Dragons teeth which will spring up armed
men?
The negro is the inferior. God made him
so. History proves him so. Ia his native land
he was never anything but barbarian. Had he
been left there, he would never have been any
thing else. Brought to this country he was
full as a slave for he can be taught, he can be
trained. But he can originate nothing, and is
incapable of sustaing that which the superior
races originate. Ninety-nine out of every one
hundred negroes need boss" Seventy.fve
out of every hundred will go astray without
boss" Ia the Southern fields they are perhaps
the best abor we can get, but lett to themselves
there is not Plantation in the country which
they would rot wreck. They need the white
mans constant instruction, supervision, aid and
control. If we could prevail upon the North to
let Us alone with our problem. we might by
breaking up the negro Secret Societies, and
driving vagrants to work find solution full of
good results for both the races. But as long as
the Booker Washing to1s practice social
equality as long as the night meetings of secret
societies teach the negro to hate the whites; aAyk
long as every town is infested with 1oafing ne.
groes; as long as all the sympathy is given to
the brute who is ynched, instead of to the
Southern white woman who is the victim; lust
so long the South will continue in a state
bordering upon Civil War, and Social chaos.
