There isvery little travel by Kenosha
M residents to points in the state with
the exception of to Milwaukee, and
merchants IN that city are looking
forward to rather large increase in
trade both from Kenosha and other
20 cities in the southern part of the

Kenosha trade has been going to Chi
cago houses, but when buyers ascer-
tain that they will be able to ride to

compelled to pay cash fare at three

night says:
The man supposed to be the short
murderer of Marshal Frisbie of Lamar,

The two fugitives, being worn out

therein.
A posse headed by Writ Bailey,
sheriff of Kiowa county; Deputy
United States Marshall Bliss of Colo
RADIO. and Cattle Inspector Bates OF
Colorado, kicked down the barricade
and doors.
After exchanging a number of shots
with Marshal Bliss the robber escaped
through a window with Bliss in close
pursuit.

and running seventy-tive yards, the
murdered surrendered to Sheriff Bal
ley, who promised him protection
against mob violence while in Kiowa
county.
The murderer is a desperate of bull
dog appearance, about thirty-tive years
old, five feet seven inches, clean
shaven, black hair and heavy blacE

NEW RAILWAY PROJECT.
Feeder for the Moffat Road in North
ern Colorado.

Denver: The News of Friday says:
An important railway project, which
promises to be a big feeder for the
MOffat road, is outlined in an amend
mont to the articles of incorporation
of the Rocky Mountain Railway Com
pany, filed yesterday in the office OF
the secretary of state. The company
is backed by number of capitalists,
at the head of whom is T. S. Waite
meyer of Boulder. Mr. Waltemeyer is
president of the company, and J. T.
Waltemeyer, a relative, holds the Of
fee of secretary.
The connection with the Moffat road
it is stated, is to be made in Grand
county. The line will extend to Grand
lake, thence to Walden, Larimer
county: thence to Fort Collins or
Loveland, or both; thence to Hahns
peak thence to the western boundary
of the state. The vote for the amend
mont thus enlarging the plans was
practically unanimous at meeting Of
the stockholders held few days ago
in Boulder.
The Waltemeyer interests own the
Bueno mine at Jimtown, and have
about completed a big cyanide mill
and other buildings upon the property.
They also own a big sawmill in Routt
county.
II is understood that large sum
of money is on hand for the immediate
construction of the railroad, and the
project, consequently, has attracted a
great deal of attention among the rail
way men of the state.

GiIpin County Activity.

The production of gold. silver, cop

ais for 1906, in Gilpin county. will to-
tai up from S3,000,0O0 to S3.5000 900, it
being difficult to arrive at the exact
production on account of the leasing
system being so much in vogue in the
older districts of the county. and for
which no accurate account is to be OBJ
tanned.
The progress of the Newhouse tun-
mel, under Quartz hill, is being watched
closely. Gilpin county people realize
that it is going to be the biggest thing

Northern Colorado Potato Crop.

The potato crop of northern Colo.
RADIO which section rivals all others
in the world in the annual quantity and
quality Of its prodution of potatoes
is estimated for the season of
1906 at > 800 carloads, 500 carloads
less than that of last year, whose cron
was forty per cent. that of the season
of 1904. whose $4,000 carloads ex-

when demand and prices for it were
high will lose the community at least
S250,000 and cut down the value of
the crop to s1,750,000.
Ninety-five hundred carloads esti.
mated in sacks means 2.375. 900 sacks:
in tons. 142,500, and 4.750.O00 bushels.
The crop is enough TO fill train of re.

or to cover an area three and one-haif
miles long an0 three miles wide II

Thirty thousand acres were planted
to potatoes this year and the average

The cost of growing sack of pota.
toes is estimated at 80 cents. which
makes the cost of producing the pres
ent crop sS31,250, leaving the grow
ers S9lS.000 as profit.
All potatoes going to market from
northern Colorado are called Greeley
potatoes, but the district includes the
localities of Fort Collins, Timnath
Windsor, Bracewell, Greeley, Lucerne,
Eaton, Ault, Kersey, Evans, Peckham
Big Bend. La Sale. and Johnstown,
and produces ninety-fve per cent. Of
all the potatoes grown in northern Cal
orado. Many farmers cut down their
potato average the last two years to
give place to beets. but it Is said that
the potato acreage will be increased
the coming year.
The principal markets for Greeley
potatoes are Texas. Oklahoma. New
Mexico, Kansas, Illinois, Missouri and
Iowa. This year Arizona was added
to the list. as the California potato
crop, which usually supplies this ter.
ritory, was inadequate.

Railroad Expenses.

Chicago: The railroads spent fully
three-quarters of billion dollars dur
ing 1906 in the effort to take care OF
the traffic which has nearly over
whelmed them. OF this vast sum, ac-
cording to the Railway Age, fully
S350,000,000 was expended for new
equipment and power. The year broke
all records for new cars, the total, ac.
cording to the Age, being 313,400, and
according to the Railway Gazette $685.
GO. In locomotive building this year
was not quite equal to 1905. This year
there were about $3.50 locomotives
built, which is about 62S less than last
wear.

Colorado proved her claim in 1906
to be the veritable sugar bowl of
America, and now leads without rival
all other states in the production of
sugar.
Not any more wonderful than would
be the sudden upspringing of an infant
TO the stature of giant is the won
derful growth of the beet sugar indus
try throughout the state. In eight
years, NO more, Colorado has jumped
from the bottom to the top of the lad
der in sugar production, and gives
promise with annual increases of fac
tories. output and expansions in every
line of holding Indefinitely that en-
yiable position.
The only contestants to this claims
of supremacy are California and Michi
gan. Michigan, with her seventeen fac
tories and daily capacity of 1O,55O tons
which in 1905 exceeded Colorado by
over 1000 tons, now is forced to give
way to our II 400 tons daily capacity;
and California, with her $3.50 tons ca
Zpacity, will be out of the running until
new plants are constructed. And then
10, Colorado's mills are running every
day of the sugar campaign, and every
capacity is tested to the utmost to han
die the immense crops of sugar beets.
In other states many of the factories
shut down part of the time and their
operations are at best spasmodic.
In single year Colorado's output of
sugar has been swelled in value $4,000,
900, and the invested capital, outside
of real estate, has grown $3,O45.OOO,
making for the latter the grand total
of $16.29S, 600. Farmers in 1906 were
paid $4,000, 900 more than in 1905, fac
tory labor earned 81 100000 more than
in the preceding year. and field labor
alone earned So 900 during the SUI
gar campaign. About 26,670 more
acres were planted to sugar beets than
in 1906. and the beet tonnage exceeded
the preceding year by 5OO,GOO tons.
The average yield per acre when raised
from eleven tons in 1905 to lo.2 tons
in 1906, which are extremely conserVa-
tive figures. Reports are made OF
Yields upto twenty-five and even as
high. in exceptional cases, as thirty
tons to the acre.
During 1907 and in time for the cam
paign there will be constructed and nm
ished another factory at Las Animas,
by the American Beet Sugar Company,
which will cost close to 81 100000, and
at other points deals are on for new
factories. To every district where
there Is a beet sugar factory settlers
have been drawn, and beet fields now
mark the place where barren prairie
land formerly was.
Colorado has now fifteen sugar FAC
tories, which, although two less than
in Michigan, have an aggregate capac
ity daily for slicing beets which ex-
ceeds any other of the sugar heet grow
states.

Bio Advance in Stocks,

Since October |, 1906, there has been
a tremendous advance in Cripple Creek
stocks ranging from fifteen to sixty
per cent. There are twelve incorpor-

close corporations paying regular
monthly or quarterly dividends, and all
of these companies have such ore re

the statement that these dividends will
be forthcoming for an indefinite period.
