States Making Beet Sugar.

The manufacture of beet sugar was
carried on in II states at the time of
the census of 1905. The leading
states were Colorado. Michigan and
California. The value of the prod
ucts was S7.Ios.osa for Colorado. S.
378.ool for Michigan and S4.4i5,I7a
for California These three states
produced 6o.7 per cent OF the total
product reported for the United
States.
At the census of 1905 Idaho. Ohio,
and Wisconsin appeared for the first
time among the states engaged in
this industry, while Illinois and New
Mexico were not shown in the list,
although in 1900 factories were in
operation in those states.
The state which had the greatest
number of factories in 1905 was
Michigan. and of the 10 factories in
that state 10 had been established
since 1000. Colorado ranked second
with o active factories. of which only

The largest sugar factory in this
country and one OF the largest IN the
world is located in California. which

state in the union. In California
and in Colorado irrigation is used in
the growing of beets In the latter

being carried on. and the beet pulp
branch Of the industry is further ad
vanced here than in any other state.
in Michigan also the utilization OF
the by-products has received consid-

In Utah the problem of the delivery
of beets to the factories has been
solved by establishing sliciug stations
at points from ~ TO ?. miles dis

The Holbrook country is rapidly
coming to the front. At the present
time there is probably more build.
ing going on there than in any other
rural section Of Otero county.
Large tracts Of 100 acres are being
cut up into smaller tracts of forty
acres and many new farm residences
are being erected.
The first building completed in the
new town Of Cheraw was dedicated
last week with dance. 1t was the
Office of the La Junta Lumber Com
pany, and the terpsichorean event
was attended by the country SWANS
for miles around. Cheraw already
has sauer kraut factory in sight
and expects to have full grown
beet sugar factory erected inside of
two years. They are also figuring
on the removal of the Santa Fe shops
from La Junta to that burg before
many years have rolled around.
Among the new buildings erected in
the Holbrook country are the fol-
lowing:
w. H. Carl has just completed a
four-room brick residence one-half
mile east of the Beehive schoolhouse.
Mrs. Jennie Osborn has moved in
to new five-room frame residence
north of the Beehive.
Robert Hansen has just completed
a two-story brick residence of seven
rooms, one mile east of Jones lake
The biggest house in the Holbrook
country is that just completed by
Rev. Gerber, on the Davis place, in
East Holbrook. Itcontains fourteen
rooms.
w. N Randall has just completed
a new four-room house on the tract
at the east end of the reservoir
ditch.
The DIR. Bryant farm. which was
recently sold to a newcomer from
Missouri for $50 per acre. has been
cut up into forty acre tarcts and a
new residence is being erected on
each one.
Over at Shelton they have just
completed the boring of an artesian
well, in which A. w. Shelton and the
Arkansas Valley Railroad Company
ere both interested. 1t is down to a
depth of 74O feet, and seems to have
- inexhaustable supply of water. as
ofter nine days continuous pumping
tAe level of the water was not low

charitable basis. and not for pecun-

times be thankfully received.
1t has been clearly demonstrated
not only to the directors Of the asso-
ciation, but we believe aIso to this
community and Otero county, that a
hospital is needed in La Junta. 1t
has also been proved that the pres
ent building is too small. During

Her Choice Tea.

There is a true story told of wealthy American lady who was in China and one of the court officials. wishing to do her great honor, promised to send her caskct containing some oxtra0r- dinary tea. Tn due time an cyqui- sitely packed box arrived containing tea. She bade many of her society friends to series of afternoons, at which this tea was served. it's de liciOus qualities eXDatiated upon and all seemingly enjoyed the beverage. At the end of the season when the caSket was almost empty she found a very small beautifully decorated box. which on opening contained the price less tea. What she had used was the dried tea leaves that had been used probably time and again by coolics It seems that rare and costly tea is packed in tea to preserve the aroma and flavor It was such a rich joke Ipon herself that the hostess told the story. and the society set had a good laugh.-ChiCagO Record Herald.

DO GLOBE MINERS PAY FOR THEIR
 POSITIONS?
Persistent Reports Will Not Down That They Are Tribute Payers to Various Bosses Who Give Them Work,

PHOENIX, Sept. Exchanges that foreign miners in the Globe district pay for their obs and that they con tinue to pay monthly tribute to vari- ous bosses in order to remain at work are not new.
 Stories alleging this condition have been current in the Globe distrct for some tme and more recently because of the influx of foreigners, who seem to experience little difficulty in secuT- ng employment at several of the large mines of the district.
 Such conditions obtain freely in other inning ca , ps. principally the coal camps of Colorado, Illinois and Pennsylvania. where the class of la, bor employed is almost wholly for. eign, but it is not a frequent one in a copper camp.
 The stories may or may not be true, but although no charges have ever been preferred and although nc direct evidence of eXJOrtiUn on the part of bosses can be secured. cer tain things seem to point to the truth of the charges.
 However. the fac tremains that the bosses could not hire this class Oi labor. which is said ro be wholly un skilled. were it not for the fact thai it is tolerated by the companies.
 Charges were recently made against a mine foreman of the Arizona Commercial at Globe and in an at tempted corroboration an affidavit was published purpOrting to come from an American who had been em ployed at the Copper Hill mine. The affidavit pertained only to remarks alleged to have been made to the af' liant and an attempt 10 substantiate the allegatins evidently failed.
 Superintendent shell of the Arizona Commercial company had heard stories of similar nature for some time and all were investigated with out result. Shell says in an inter- view:
 "I have done everything in my pow CT to get at the bottom of these charges and ascertain their truth or falsityI have listened to stories of similar nature for some time, but have never been able to secure evi- dence which would justify me in dis charging GoTensOn. against whom charges have been indirectly made and who was formerly mine foreman Some time ago he was put Dach as shift boss, not beacuse of these stories, but because certain work re quired his acting in that capacity. Since the publication of names of vari' ous foreigners who are said to have stated that they paid him for putting them to work, have gone to these same men and asked them about it. I told them that if they had given money their jobs were perfectly safe if they would tell me the truth. They denied that they had ever given money or that they had said so.'

The Sriqht Butler.

A few days ago one of PhiladelphIa'S prominent society women told her but Ter to tell all visitors that she was not at home. At night, when erumerating the persons who had called during the day, he mentioned the lady's sister when his mistress exclaimed: Il told you, man, that I was always at home for my sister! You ought to have shown her in."
 Next day the lady went out to make a few calls, and during her absence her sister came to the house.
 ''Is your mistress at home?' she ask ed the butler.
 Yes, madam" was the reply.
 The lady went upstairs and looked everywhere for her sister. On coming downstairs she said to the butler, My sister must have gone out, for I cannot find her"
 Yes, madam, she has gone out, but she told me last night that sine was all ways at home to Philadelphia Record.

Bid. Asked
WHY BATTER Is sHv

Ever notice that one or two of the Midland players do not have good po- sitions at the bat, rather being Tn- clined to draw away from the ball, a fault that must be overcome before a player cal be a successful batter. One of the players who has this de feet attributes 1t to playing baseball in Mexico and having to dodge so many balls thrown by wild Mexican pitchers.
 T know my position at the pat is not good" said one of the Texans, and yours would not be good either If you had spent three or four long seasons in Mexico trying to incu1cate our national game in the heads of those fellows. When they start out to learn the game their idea is that speed is ali of 1t and their pitchers are as wild as March hares. With the climate warm and equable, they do not fear to turn themselves loose and the way they throw a ball is enough to make anyone 'gunshy' So just got in the habit of lodging the balls thrown by those fellows until now when I come into the states to Tlay ball I find that I continue shy of the ball, I suppose l could break myself of the habit in time if I were to stay in this country but as I find baseball in Mexico profitable and will continue to play there in the winter season, I don't expect ever to entirely get out of the habit of drawing away from balL"-Douglas International American.

MOVING THE SHOPS

To further enlarge and increase the capacity for handling bu in s through Fl Paso the Fl PasO and Southwestern is planning to move the car repairing department that is now located on the grounds of the old Fl Paso and Northeastern tracks at Oc- tavia street to the new shop reserva- ton in East Fl Paso. The Octavia street repair yards have been found inadequate for the handling of bad or der cars since the increased business of the road began.
 It will be some time before the change of location can be made, as the shortage of steel and labor has prevented the company from making number of changes and improve ments in its yards and main line. The new repair yards will be located just west of the present shop yards in East Fl Paso. between the Southwest ern and G. H. main lines. There are Q number of tracks now enclosed in the shop reservation, and a part of this ground will be given over to the car department.

Boston-Engineers who have visit ed Verde Co. Is having a hard time with it's smelter, that the ground is rapidly caving in, that the smelter is gradually sinking into the mine, and looks the picture of cesolaton.
 Senator Clark has no thought of rebuilding this old .smelter,. and in consequence no repairs are being made other than those absolutely nee essary. ..s
 This smelter was built on top of a mine, and cave-ins at various times have been serious. Some time ago the office building was let down into the mine and many people killed. In May, 1905, there was a serious cave-in following an explosion which was caused by a fire on the 700-fuot level which had Assured the ore so tha surface waters seeped into the fire zone and generated steam causing an explOson that came near wreckng the mine and causing great loss of life.

Slaughter of Stocks Worse Yesterday Than the Day

Stocks continued to be slaughtered right and left, more so than yester- day Copper stocks continue to be the heaviest suserers and without support. Many rumOrs are afloat to- day, the prinCipla one was that the Amdlgamated property at Butte. Mont. was about to be closed. This, how ever, could not be verified, but there is no doubt that there will be a heavy decrease in it's output. Copper stocks were sold off in the morning but heavy selling did not commence until several hours after the opening Calumet & Arizona passed its last year mark and dropped to SlO5 and closed al $1OS. North Butte held well during the day. Butte Coalition sui fered, closing at it's low mark for the day. Superior & Pittsburg sold as low as 1925 but at this price very lit tie came out. Greene-Cananea sold as low at S90O. The Cole stocks were again the heavy sellers. Denn-Aii- Zona felt the effect of the decline sales being made at $5.SO but little came out. At the ciOse there wer- no bids whatsoever. Shattuck-AriZO- na feels the effect of the decline con sindeTably and at the close large blocks of stocks were offered. with no bids out during he dav.
