Endecendent of the Trust.

The promoters of the North Ameri-
can Sugar Company, which will build
a sugar beet factory near Berthoud.
Colorado, declare that no inducements
to enter the trust will be considered.
They are Offering terms to the beet
growers which were denied by the
trust plants.
II is believed that the population OF
Berthoud, now placed at 1000, will
be increased to $500 in few months
after the factory starts operation
Work will be commenced in July and
the factory must be completed year
from that date.
The company now has about 145
farmers under contract, and the con
tracts call for S. ton for the beets,
without siloing, terms which were re
fused the farmers by the trust com
panies.
The factory Is to cost s750,00O and
will take care of the product of 5,OOC
acres. 1t will be about an eighth of
mile outside of Berthoud and will en-
ploy $50 men.
The new plant is to be operated with
electricity from the Lafayette plant
Of the Northern Colorado Power Com
pany. 1t probably will be the first
sugar beet factory in the country to be
81 operated.

To Connect Arid Lands inta Sores,s.

To convert the arid wastes of gov
eminent land into beautiful groves of
walnut trees at a cost that win hc in
significant in proportion TO value re-
ceived in after years, is the plan of NJ
G. W Roberts, a real estate dealer
Of fankton. South Dakota. Mr.. Rob
erts is in Denver on private business.
but while here will try to interest the
government officials in the project.
For years Mr.. Roberts has been ex-
perimenting with walnut trees and
after investigating the scarcity of hard
lumber. conceived a plan of supplying
the world, at the same time creating
beautiful parks all over the West.
Il think all the reserve land of the
state of Colorado can be planted in
walnuts and in time will be worth
millions OF dollars" said Mr.. Roberts.
This is no experiment with me, as
have planted two walnut groves within
two and a half miles OF Yankton, South
Dakota. There to-day you will find IA
forest of beauty, and the same can be
done by the United States for Colorado.
Twenty years hence the timber will
be worth more than you can estimate
at this time"
The method employed by Mr.. Rob
erts for planting the walnuts was SIM
pie. Carrying a bucket OF the nuts on
his arm he would walk the length of
the field, and dropping nut would
push it into the earth with his heel.
Soon the forest grew, but twice they
were DESTROYED by forest fires only to
come up again from the roots,
Farmers in the vicinity OF Yankton
are becoming interested in the mat
ter and are lending their aid In beau
tiying the South Dakota wastes. AS
soon as the success of these forests be-
come known. Roberts believes, the
habit" will spread all over the West
with the result that years hence the
United states will be supplying the
wCrld with hard walnut timber.

Travels Far to See Her Son.

Totering on the brink of the grave,
Mrs. Ellen Gritfiths, eishty-tve years
old, travelled from Brazil, Iowa, to
Eaton, Colorado, that she might once
more see her son and for the first time
in her life hug her grandchildren be
fore she died.
1t has been more than twenty years
since the aged mother had seen her
boy, and when he met her at the sta
ton in Eaton she could scarcely rec
ogniZe him. She knew the voice, but
he had so changed in face and figure
that it was some minutes before she
became convinced that he was not a
stranger.
Thomas Lawton, well-to-do farmer
living near Eaton, is the son, and he
paid his mothers passage from Brazil
He met her at the station and quickly
took her to his home.
Last evening there was celebra-
ton in the Lawton family when the
aged woman gathered her grandchil-
dren about her and was moved to tears
Of Joy. her wish having been fulfilled
afterwhat was to her the most perilous
journey of her life.
All day yesterday Mrs. Grifiths
waited in the Union station in Denver
for a train to Eaton. She arrived on
the 7:30 Burlington In the morning and
it was p. m. before she left. During
her stay at the depot she was in care
of the matron, and her appearance ex-
cited considerable interest and curl
osity.
II am old and feeble, my eyesight IL
bad, and l do not hear well, SO the
journey is full of dangers to me-" she
said. II am afraid to travel, but l do
SO want TO see my son again before l
die that decided to risk all dangers.
II haven't seen him for more than
twenty years and l never laid eyes on
the children. l was living with my
nephew in Brazil, but my son sent for
mo and l decided to come"

THAT KENNEDY AFFAIR

A large number of our citizens were in an excited state of mind last Tuesday evening when a rumor became current that a warrant had been sworn out for the arrest of Town Marshal Jas. Kennedy, on a charge of extortion.
 From what we were able to learn the town marshal had arrest. d three Mexicans aud upon searchi, them he found $55 0O, whi. h amount he deposited q in the depths of his packets, and he then told them to appear for trial on the third of next month.
 The Mrxicans, 8 fter telling Henry Aphold (who speaks Spanish very huently) their tale of woe and accompanied hy Mir. Aphold as interpreter, repaired 10 Judge Langin's office and asked the judge if the city marshal had turned ov. r to him $500 which the marshal had taken from them. Upon the judges reply that he knew nothi, g of the money, the men gave his honor full information concernirg g the affair, and Judge Langin then telegraphed for District Attorney Ashurst who, shortly after bis arrival here, investigated the batter and had a warrant issued i for Kennedy's arrest.
 Mir. Kennedy, at the time the complaint was made. was in Flag staff attending a meeting of the board of supervisors, but upon being informed of the action that had been taken over the arrest of the Mexicans he immediately returned tn William ms and after a satisfactory explanation to the district attorney, so it is rumored, the warrant was not served and the case dismissed.
