More Sugar Plants.

The Manzanola correspondent
in the Pueblo Chieftain last Mon
day said: On account Of the
fact that the farmers of the Ar
kansas valley have found the
sugar beet industry to be the
most profitable of any crop suit
able to this climate, the present
seasons output is estimated to
be more than double that of last
year. w. M. Wiley, general
manager of the Holly-Swink fac
tories states that their acreage is
more than double that of the pre-
vious season and predicts that in
the not distant future the number
of factories will be more than
doubled in the valley.

To Enlarge the Amity.

T. J. Sayler and son Frank,
representing the. T. ]. Sayler
Dredge and Construction COM
pany, this week signed up con-
tract for the enlargement of ff-
teen miles OF the Amity canal on
the lower end. About eighty
thousand cubic yards Of earth
will be moved in the work Of
deepening and widening the ca
nal. With the dredge used by
this company it is unnecessary
to turn the water out of the ca
nal in order to make the improve
ments contemplated, says Lamar
Sparks. The dredge is mount
ed on boat which floats in the
canal, and water is available for
the use of consumers at all times.
Under this plan ditch can be
enlarged during the irrigating
season without any inconvenience
to water users.
Sayler & Co. are now enlarging
a big ditch near Manzanola, and
expect to complete that contract
in September. AS soon as it is
finished they will move their out

Provides Protection From Fake
Insurance Companies.

The last general assembly
placed Some new insurance laws
on the statute books in order to
more cffectually guard the inter-
ests OF the policy holders and put
check on dishonest insurance
methods on the part of unscrupu-
lous agents. Some of the wisest
provisions of the new laws are
embodied in the bulletin printed
below issued from the state de-
part OF insurance. This bulletin
is the first one issued and it will
be followed by others from time
to time as the OCCASION requires,
says Montrose Press.
NO person shall solicit an ap-
plicat:on or contract of insurance
without a license from the insur-
ance department under penalty of
fine and imprisonment.
Only persons of good reputa-
ton and character are to be Civ
en- licenses.
NO agent shall accept business
from person who has solicited
1t without license under penalty
of revocation of his own license.
Agents, solicitors or brokers
who knowingly deceive or de-
fraud a person being solicited for
insurance or policy holder, will
have their licenses to do business
revoked and the revocation pub
lished in the newspapers.
Such persons will also be sub
ject to fine and imprisonment for
procuring premiums by misrepre-
sentations.
1t is the intention of Commits
sioner Rttenhouse to use his full
authority in enforcing these
laws. 1t is, however, of the ut
most Importance that the public
refuse to do business with any
person soliciting insurance who is
not provided with license from
this department.
NAy PSAo0A WIZ 10 tlClllIi-
lied. or upon whom an attempt
at fraud has been made, should
promptly report the matter in
writing and cooperate with the
department in bringing the gull
ty person to account. In order
that no injustice may be done, the
complaint must be supported with
proof. No license will be re-
vokea without giving the holder
thereof an opportunity to be
heard
The attention of the public is
especially invited to that part of
the new law which provides a
penalty for any company or agent
who directly or indirectly offers
or gives a rebate of premium on
life insurance policy, and which
also makes it criminal offense
for any person insured to accept
rebate.

who is visiting in New York and
incidentally hob-nobbing with
his old friend, William Travers
jerome, he was mistaken by
those who infest the tenderloin
for Davy Johnson, the gambler
and all-around sport. Here is
what the New York Sun says re-
garding the incident.
Mr.. Wiley hit the Forty-second
street crosswalks of the Tender
loin on Tuesday evening and it
so happened that District Attor-
ney Jerome was with him. They
had had dinner together and had
decided to spend the evening on
roof garden.
MIR. Wiley went to a Tender
lein telephone to call up a West
ern friend. While he was stand
ing with the receiver to his ear
young woman tapped him on the
shoulder.
Sorry you had to telephone,
Mr.. Johnson" said she.
Pardon" said Mr.. Wiley, re-
moving his hat with Western
sweep.
"O-o-h," said the young wom-
an, getting a full view at close
range of Mr.. Wiley. Then she
swished away.
Mr.. Jerome and Mr.. Wiley,
who does look something like
Johnson. dropped into the Con-
sidine Metropole thirst station.
They took a seat in the corner.
"Davy Johnson on pretty good
terms with Jerome person." re-
marked bookmaker, pointing to
the table.
Didn't know Dave was in SO
close replied his companion, an
expere at wireless wiretapping.
Fingers were waggigng at
George of the Considine brothers,
VINO was screened behind Eddie
Burke. George caught the sig
nal from a dead line bookmaker.
"Spot the d. A. with Dave
Johnson over in the corner" said
the dead liner.
"Snoke it out" said George,
who likes to know what is going
on in his place. He walked over
to Mr.. Jerome and bowed, but
his eyes were on Mr.. Wiley.
Judge, how are you?" said
the gracious George.
Fine" said Mr.. Jerome, who
has been tanned by the sun of
the tennis court.
Joke on you," said G. C. "I
don't know you're frien', but they
think he's Dave Johnson. You
know Dave"
"Sure," said Mr.. Jerome.
We'll, the boys think you've
got Dave in tow" said George.
"Oh, young woman just took
my friend for Mr.. Johnson" said
Mr.. jerome.
Zone on Dave, eh?" said
George, walking away to see
how the pilsener was running.
Mr.. Jerome and Mr.. Wiley
strolled few blocks up Broad
way, above the Metropole. Chris
Tracey, who operates in big wire
tapping schemes, fitted the
black strings to his eyeglasses
back of his ear and put on his
best bank clerk expression.
Jerome out parading with
Dave Johnson Of Forty-third
street and Broadway" said he.
Then he looked for something
easier.
} "Tm sorry Larry Summerfeld
is off playing the church organ"
said Chappie Moran.
Barney Connolly, transplanted
from Jacks to the Albany, said
he was sure of Jerome, but not
sure of Dave Johnson.
"It's not Dave" said Honest
John Kelly, who takes exercise
every night between the Hotel
Knickerbocker and the Albany.
Mr.. Jerome and Mr.. Wiley
dropped into Rector's just to look
around, and number of Broad

zled. Then the pair went to the

Editorial Outing.

Kelly, general passenger agent of
the Moffat road, the Colorado
Editorial association took its an
nual outing of two days at Sui
phur Springs in the heart OF
Grand county and the Middle
Park.
Upon reaching destination the
boys were entertained by numer-
Gus races of the untamed cow
boy variety, then they sat down
to a mountain trout banquet,
which none will ever forget. no
matter how much trout comes
their way hereafter. Over 1900
fish, weighing $50 pounds, were
lavished upon the pencil-pushers,
who fell to without delay.
The Chieftain's editor, in order
to test his strenuosity and endur-
ance, in company with Rips
Mayfeld, formerly assistant man
aging editor of the Denver News,
and Mr.. Steinel of Fort Collins,
climbed a peak Of about three
thousand full-sized feet, arising
at ABS a. m. after having retired
at a m. At about 8 O'Clock we
returned and there wasn't enough
grub in the hotel to accommo-
date our overgrown stomachs-
and we had sore feet for several
days, too.
Enroute while at Corona we
all disembraked and, after choos-
ing sides, snowballed each other
until the train was ready to drop
down into Middle Park, which it
does at the rate of 5000 feet in 20
miles.
The boys are under obligations
to the Albany hotel management
for $50 fine lunches, and to Pass
enger Agent Kelley for refresh
ments." Upon the return jour
ney the boys quietly got together
and secured handsome wedding
present for him, which they pre-
sented at the banquet at City park
in Denver Tuesday evening. ~
One thing was most noticeable.
While gambling is wide open
there, roulette and poker tables
being conveniently placed in ev-
cry available place, these vices
were all under cover and out of
commission while the pencil
pushers convention was on. This
showed the spirit of the true
gambler, as distinguished from
the tinhorn, the kind that is us
ually most prominent in this sec
ton. These gamblers were all
boys with a big, fat hearts-men
of prineiple and honor, and they
showed it by laying aside their
business at great cost and devot-
ing their energies toward the en-
tertalnment of the guests to the
park.
Note these facts regarding

The Christmas of All Oh
A Tale of Chinatown.
BY ETHEL POWERS.

All OF sat on the steps in the hall of
ing for Choy Come and All Yeung,
who attended the mission school. The
children always told her OF the days
happenings in the outside world of
which she got but glimpses from her
window or the open hall door. Choy
Come and All Yeung were her neigh.
boris children, and she was in the
habit Of waylaying them in the hall
and with presents of nuts and ginger
coaxing them to tell her of the days
doings at the mission and of the peo-
pie on the street, or, in fact, any little
piece of news or gossip the children
might pick up on their way to and
from school, All OF would listen with
childlike curiosity.
Choy Come was the first to enter
the hall, and when she saw the figure
of All OF move she drew back with a
frightened cry.
"Oh, elder brother" lisped Choy
Come in her native tongue. there is
an evil spirit on the stairs and we
have no crackers or symbols to fright
ell 1t away"
"Are you sure it is an evil spirit?"
asked All Yeung, trying to pierce the
gloom with his little beadlike eyes.
"If see anything we will hasten and
get some incense at the shop of the
friend of our father and burn it here
SO that the evil spirit will depart"
Foolish ones, it is L." said the voice
of Ar OF. why should you be SO
frightened? Have you not found me
here before?"
"Ah Oh, why did you not call out
when we entered as you were wont?''
THE day has shadows" said Choy
Come, "and besides the enemy of our
worthy father died yesterday and we
must make many offerings to our
household gods lest his spirit returns
to haunt our dwelling

temple of the foreign devil. What did

But there are other gods of the
foreign devils, and she of the blue

All Young. Even yesterday there

"All that we had seen and heard
puzzled us berry much. for she of the
blue eyes told us the foreign devils
had but one god"
when we reached our home," re
marked Choy Come, 1--WE told to our
illustrious father of the temple and
the strange gods. He said it was not
of necessity that we should under
stand the ways of the foreign devils
language as he had commanded, and
let their devils gods take care of them
selves. Still, he thought it was meet
that we should listen even with polite
ness to all the discourse of she of the
blue eyes and attend the feasts."
will she Of the blue eyes give you
many gifts at the coming feast?"
asked All OF.
I'VE know not how many we will
receive answered All Yeung. I'VE

we have knowledge, and give the
paper to her of the blue eyes,

Then why, if you were so happy in
the Land of the Dragon, did you come
to this country of the foreign devil?"
asked Choy Come.
II came with Yam Lee. who bought
ME from my honored father, who was
old and very poor, else he would not
have suffered me to go so far away
from my home, near the beautiful Riv

"And will you never go back again
where you were so happy?" asked
Choy Come, affected by the sadness
in All Oi's voice.
Il shall never go back to the land of
my delight unless Lu Chan, my best
promised and buys me- He was only
a poor student when Van Lee took me
from my father Thrice did he make

made offerings to the God of Love

while Choy Come and All Yeung listen
ed, their eyes wide with interest. "She
is dear to poets and lovers, who eel
citrate her feast in the autumn season
with its profusion of chrysanthemums
and wealth of sweet-smelling flowers.
At midnight on certain night in au-
tumn she leaves her celestial home in
the moon and comes down to earth to
grant favors to mortals.
Zone night she appeared to an old
lady and told her she would grant any
favor she might ask. So bright and
dazzling was the vision of the goddess
that the old lady was speechless.
Finally she summoned up enough
courage to place her hand to her
mouth, meaning she would like
enough to eat for the rest of her life.
The next morning, when the old lady
awake. she found she had a gigantic
beard. The goddess had misunder-
stood her gesture, and instead of fur
nishing her with enough to eat for the
rest of her life she caused a beard to
grow on her chin. So you see," con-
tinued All OF, you must take great
care how you ask for gifts. Now you
must go, for 1t is not meet that
should talk to you so long, The other
day your mother called you when she
found you with me-" added All OF, sad
ly.

have too much speech with you," ven
