MORROW COUNTY HAPPENINGS
Compiled From the Last Issue OF ten
Heppner Times.

George Vincent was in town
couple of days the latter part of the
week for the purpose of buying cat
tie for feeders this winter. He wants
300 head, part of which he purchas-
ed, and expects to be able to get the
full number soon. Mr.. Vincent has
heretofore fed only $50 head, but his
hay crop is so much better this year
than usual that he is enabled to feeo
so head more. VA
For the month OF August, 1905, the
amount received from the sale of
money orders was $16S1.62. and for
the corresponding month Of this year
they were $2517.7O, balance of $780,
0s in favor Of the month just passed.
The receipts for the same month in
1905 for stamps, envelopes, etc, were
S201 and for August JUST past they
were 1896, a difference of S195. This
added to the gain in money order bus

o. F. Thomson, of Echo, accom-
panied by his brother, H. c., spent last
Saturday in Heppner for the purpose
Of buying cattle for feeders on his
Butter creek ranch this winter. He
was unsuccessful in procuring any,
not because there are no cattle for
sale, but because he thought the price
was too high. He harvested about
500 tons nj good alfalfa hay this sea-
son and has cattle enough 10 eat only

there is more profit in selling the hay
than paying 1926 per hundred for
cattle and taking his chances on the
price next winter or spring.
Mr.. Thomson thinks there will be
about 5000 head Of cattle fed on the
creek this winter, which is about 1900

State Viii Break Record for Sugar,

With an increased acreage, CON
servatively estimated at 23,4o4 acres,
four new reduction factories and soil
conditions more favorable than ever
before, Colorado's beet sugar pro-
ducton Tor the season Ioo6-o7 will
eclipse that oi any previous year in
the history OF this industry in the
state and excel the output OF any
other state i'll the union.
During the present year new beet
sugar factories have been erected at
Brush and Fort Morgan in the north
ern part OF the state, and a, Swiuk
and at Garden City, Kan, in the Ar
kansas valley. The Garden City fac
tory is practically on the state line.
The construction OF the Holly &
Swink railroad, traversiug rich ST.
gar beet section, has opened up a
new field in that part Of the Arkan-
sas valley, and this years yield,
which Will be the first sent to the re-
hnery, is expected to be good.
The position that Colorado holds
IN the beet sugar industry OF Ameri-
ca is perhaps better shown in the fact
that OF total of fifty-iv refineries
IN the United States, seventeen are
located in Colorado, or nearly one
third Of them all.
California and Michigan have been

Sugar Crop Is Enormous.

Stupendous scarcely expresses the
figures of the worlds sugar crop. The
compilation OF annual statistics will
soon be on again. Last year from
the records it is shown that there
was produced 1873 900 tons. OF this
a little more than hall was beet su-
gar, OF which the United States pro-
duced only 265,ooo tons against the
o,55o,ooo tons OF the rest OF the
world.
There are several surprising things
to be learned from the analysis OF
the crop. The Philippines, OF the
danger ol whose sugar flooding this
country much has been SAID pro
duced but 10000 tons, less than one
percent OF the worlds crop and but
little more than the state OF Colora-
do. Germany is credited with q
i75,ooo ton. of beet sugar, more than
a third oi that oi all the world and
about one-iiflh oi the entire produc-
ton. Colorado, with its 9e, 800 tons,
last year, produced about one -thiru
OF the beet sugar oi the United
States.
Important as has the sugar indus.
try become in this state, rapid as has
been its growth i'll the seven years
that have elapsed since the erection
OF the first factory, it is worth re-
membcrlng that it is but small frac-
ton OF the worlds sugar farm. The
entire irrigated section OF the state
if planted i'll beets would still be lit

big plantation. The splendid record

least impression on the worlds sta
tistics, being less than one percent

beet that analyses as high CONNER
cially as eighteen per cent sugar and
running fifteen tons to the acre. The
best fields in districts like those OF
Weld and Larimer county as well as
some OF the localitis over on the
western slope now average as high as
nineteen and twenty-five tons an acre
IN fields as large as $50 acres.
The total crop for 1905 will approx
innate I,o5o,ooo tons At conserv.
ative estimate OF $5 a ton, Colorado
farmers have been paid $6,25o,ooo.
The sugar output will be l25,ooo tons
and at $50 ton, the Colorado manu-.
facturers will receive $Io,ooo,ooo, with
an additional $4,000 from by
products, OF which molasses is one
oil the most important The cost of
labor and manufacture is placed at
$2,5oo,ooo, with an additional $780,
600 for coal, coke, and lime. The to-
tai investment in the Colorado iac-
tories - $l2,ooo,ooo and it is esti,nat-
ed that the net profit on the invest
mont Will exceed eight per cent for
this year which will not be SO bad

III the Eoleilt to Colorado is the coal,
