The beet harvest is said by the To-

The beet harvest is said by the To-
cal growers to be little disappoint-
ing now that the crop is being taken
from the ground. The prospects IN
the early part of the season, say up
TO the end of June, were SO good. and
the top growth later on was so lux
uriant that looking over field 1t
certainly had all the surface appear
ances OF bumper crop. But the
roots do not prove to be OF SO rank
a growth and it is taking good
many of them to make ton. Still
the case is one OF disappointed eN-
pectations, not of actual deficiency IN
comparison with the average crop oil
past seasons. That the yield per
acre will finally average up with 9th
err years is the prediction, As to the
sugar content, the smaller beet IS
making the better showing and the
tonnage OF manufactured sugar will
probably be n little better than IN
past seasons. This ought not to
gravel the farmer. He is not losing
anything that he contracted for. and
the beet is a good paying crop as
the seasons run. The acreage OF the
lower Arkansas Valley is something
immense this year and will turn IN
an immense amount OF money to the
people OF the farming profession.

Tho way that Rocky Ford has been
lengthening her stakes and extending her
boundaries during the past summer has
been surprise to the people who are on
the ground as well as to those who have
gone out from US and returned again to

take note Of is the "Herdman Addition.
This is triangular shaped block OF land
Of about twelve acres that forms part
Of the original Garden Place" plat. and
is not therefore new addition to the
town area. but has been part OF 1t for
years. But like the rest OF tho original
Garden Place plat il was laid out in b.
acre tracts and has been used for truck
gardening and fruit. 1t Is now re-platted
by the owner. Mrs. S. Herdman. in uni
formity with the town plat proper. into
building lots OF 5oxl4o feet. This very
slightly and desirable tract lies on the
northeast corner OF the town. forming. as
plated. a continuation eastward OF three
main avenues OF the city. and north and
south forms the east side OF Fourteenth
street and both sides Of Fifteenth. 1t has
been cut into SO building lots. every one
Of which is in easy proximity to the town.
Although they are hardly on tho market
yet several lots have been sold and some
others have been spoken for. One resi-

A Wagon and Team Found
on River with Owner
Missing.

Don Johnson, the sheriff, re-
ceived aphone message Friday to
the effect that a team had been
found at the lower crossing Of
the Mimbres river without a dri.
yer, and the sheriff upon inyes-
tigdtion found the team tied on
the farther bank and the wagon
in mid-stream.
Further investigation discloses
the fact that G.. G.. Robinson
is the owner Of the wagon and
team and the missing driver. He
started from his home at Array
TO Deming and vicinity to solicit
orders for posts, bringing SAM
pies along in his wagon. He al

HUGE PROFITS OF
STANDARD OIL TRUST
From Denver News.

From Denver News.
The assistant comptroller of the
Standard Oil Company Of New York
testified yesterday that the profits of
his corporation for tine seven years
from 1899 to 1906 were $3.50, 315 ,934.
It is a little difficult to take in the
real meaning of these figures at once.
Let us split them up a bit. Parceled
out over the seven years referred to,
they that the proffts-PROF-
ITS, mind you-of a single monopoly
have been averaging $780, 900 900 per
year. This is a higher net income
than hat of any government on earth
for a similar period of time. 1t is
equivalent to a clear profit of a dol
Car apiece each year from every man,
woman and child in the United States
It mean thar every year the gains
been greater than the total gold pro-
duction of the United States. In 1902,
the last rear for which Official stalls
tics are available, the gold product
of this country was given at 6 3,774--
sS1. Had every ounce OF this yellow
flood been paid over IL the Standard
Oil Company, that corporation would
stiI have mad an unpaid lien of
81 100000 on the Industries of the
country.
It is wholly idle to say that this
colossal Income has been gained i'm
legitimate trade. The probabilities are
all against such a heaping up OF mon
ey in al honest manner, and the his
tory Of the Standard Oil Company
shows that its profits are little else
tnan the reward of successful crime.
