Sugar Car, .,ai8n

In few days probably before an
other issue of the Register the sugar
campaign for 1907 will be on, and
the marketing of bests will be under
way all along the Arkansas valley.
The acreage of beets has been in
creased at every factory in the valley
in Colorado and some Of them more
than doubled, and in addition there
is heavy acreage for the new facto-
ry at Las Animas. This factory will
be ready to begin the season at the
same time as the Other factories.
When the season is under way these
factories will handle about 5000 tons
Of beets per day, and pay the farmers
at the rate of s25,000 per day.
Even at this heavy daily average it
is estimated that the factories will
run oyer 100 days on the average.
This is certainly healthy size for an
infant industry that just seven years
ago required the entire valley crop
to keep one factory at Rocky Ford
running for sixty days. That season
about two hundred thousand dollars
was distributed to the farmers of the
entire valley. This year the sum
will be between two and three mil
lions. The end is not yet either, as
there will be three or four new fac
tories constructed in the next two
years. The sugar beet is the great
est land developer and price raiser
yet discovered, and its work has only
Just commenced here. 1t is also q
great business and labor boomer, as
nearly 5000 men will be employed
at the six factories during the cam
paign, besides hundred Of extra Ia
borers required in harvesting the
beets in the fields.

The Governors Triumph.

Governor Buchtel's friends won a
notable victory over Patterson and
yellow journalism in the Methodist
conference at Grand junction yes
terday.
The governor has been persistent
ly villitied by the Patterson sheets
because he would not usurp the
functions of the mayor, or the sher-
iff, or tho district attorney, or other
officials of Denver. The Patterson
press has been aided and abetted by
q small company of men. some of
them preachers, who concluded that
the governor was not doing his duty
because Patterson said SO.
They stirred up considerable feel
ing among their ministerial brethren
at the Grand junction conference
and attempted to make the confer
ence believe that the governor WAS
not dong his duty, either as state
executive, or as consistent men,
Der of the Methodist ministry.
The opposition to the governor
was led by a political preacher from
Denver named RAIDER, who was chap
lain of the last legislature and who
broke into the limelight by series
of foolish prayers, which not only
lowered him in the eyes OF the peo-
pie but really had tendency to
make the entire denomination ap-
pear ridiculous. He was the type of
man who was fighting the governor
and stirring up jealousy and strife.
1t may be said to the credit of the
lay delegates to the conference that
they saved the day for the governor
by working among the ministers.
They knew that the yellow journals
we're only waiting to yell that the
governor had been repudiated by the
Methodist conference, and were
ready to harp upon that fact for the
next six months.
They knew that if he were re-
jected as delegate to the general
conference that it would be made to
appear that the entire Methodist
church had deserted and disowned
the governor, no matter how far
from the truth that might have been.
And thus it was that Governor
Buchtel received the exceptional and
unusual honor, while chancellor OF
the university, of election as dele
gate, also, to the conference. The
honor was worthy and deserved and
timely.
So far as his critics are concerned
the governor may never hope to
satisfy them. The angel Gabriel, il
he we're in public office, would be
abused for not doing his duty. But
no man is greater than the law and
no governor will attempt to over
ride the law. Governor Buchtel is
the same sort of citizen that he has
been for 20 years, and just as firm
an advocate for law and order-that
