The sugar beet controversy is still
in the air and the factories and the
growers are still standing pat. Some
of the growers contend that they
will not accept anything less than
the fiat rate of So per ton for all
beets, and the factories insist upon
their original proposition of $3.50
for all beets under fifteen per cent.
and $5 for all beets of fifteen per
cent and over. Chief Agriculturist
Gauger says that the Swink and
Holly factories have signed up about
1000 acres in new contracts this
year, and it is reported that the
Rocky Ford factory has signed up
about 800 acres. All of these con-
tracts We're signed up with the pro-
viso that if better scale than that
originally offered by the factories
was agreed upon with the growers
at any time in the future the far
mers will be given the benefit of it.

PEOPLE IN FAVOR OF
 ROOSEVELT POLICIES

Senator Foraker in a Cincin- nati interview is credited with great praise of Mir. Taft, person ally, but adds this harmless stinger:
 "But unfortunately there is one fatal weakness in the candi- date in that he favOrs the con tinuance of the so called ROOse welt policies, of which we have already had far too much" "
 Commenting on the utterances of Senator Foraker, the Kansas City Star says: "ThiS is going as far as the most partisan dem ocrat could go, and much farther than most democrats do go, for a majority of the democrats, in cluding MT. Bryan, desire a con tinuance of most of the ROOSe welt policies.
 ''It is to be regretted that the eloquent senior senator from Ohio cannot see that the Ameri- can people are heartily in favor of a continuance of the Roose- welt policies; that the main hope of Mir. Taft to be elected to the presidency lies in the belief of the nation that he stands unqual- itiedly for those policies. Mir. Taft has so announced, and the people will elect him president, for whether the Roosevelt poli- cies are right or wrong, the voters favor them and honor Roosevelt as their originator, and will vote for Taft because he is pledged to their continuance.

 The Grand Canyon. one of the scenic wonders of the world, has become very popular with tour ists and visitors in the west ow- ing to the ease of access and better accommodations afforded by the various hotels along the rim. The protection of the game will add to the interest of tourists, and it is hoped that in the course of time the wild ani- malls may become abundant.

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL FOREST r1ADE CATE
 PRESERVE.

Washington. July 7. - The president has just signed a proc lamation adding approximately 942,0 acres (from lands already included in the Grand Canyon National Forest) to the Grand Canyon Game Preserve.
 The game preserve as previ- ously established included that portion of the Grand Canyon National Forest lying north of the Grand Canyon, while the new proclamation includes all of that portion>of the forest lying south of the Grand Canyon ex- cept the southwest corner of the forest lying on the west side of Cataract Canyon and south of the township line between town ships 31 and 32 N.
 This extension of the game preserve is in accordance with an act of congress, approved June %, 1906, entitled "An act for the protection of wild ami mals in Grand Canyon For est Reserves" providing "That the President of the United States is hereby authorized to designate such areas in the Grand Canyon Forest Reserve as should, in his opinion, be set aside for the protection of game animals and be recognized as 8 breeding place therefor

From present appearance that compact little army sent by the United States to Panama will have nothing more serious to do than to act as a reserve police force for the iSthmus. So much the better for Panama and for the United States. This country cares little who may be elected president of that little JOY re- public, but all the world is inter- ested in the peace of the zone through which the canal is build ing. That can at least be kept free from political earthquakes, and no doubt the presence of a small U. $. army had influence in this direction.

It IS estimated that three hun dred thousand Americans have crossed the Atlantic this year and spent on an average of S70O each, or a total of two hundred and ten millions of dollars. For eiSn countries profit immensely from American tourists. In Switzerland hotel keepers live off tue travellers, largely Ameri- cans, the year round. In twenty years the number of hotels in that country has increased from one thousand to over two thOus- and. But the larger number of Americans go to Europe to see the wonderful art treasures to be found in the galleries and mu- seums of London, Paris, The Hague, Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Florence, Rome and other cities. If it were not for the high tariff on art, which no one, not even the artists of this country, ap- prove, the best specimens of Flu rOpean art would be in our own galleries and millions of dollars would be annually retained in the United States.
