earned $2.3l5.O 900, and the labor Of the
fields earned S2.710.200. With this

proud.

Colorado earned her place ut the top
Of the list of beet sugar producing
states In 1906 by showing larger
acreage than her nearest competitor
and n larger total production of sugar.
This year Colorado has sixteen fac.
tories of total daily capacity of L.
100 tons. exceeding the capacities of
the factories of any other state In the
Union. Michigan has seventeen fac
tories. but the daily capacity reaches
only 10,550 tons. In Colorado all of
the factories are run every day of the
campaign at full capacity, and in many
instances test runs are made at vari-
Gus competing factories of the same
company. This Is necessary to handle
the immense crops of beet grown. OF.
ten times in other states some of the
factories are compelled to shut down
part Of the time during the sugar cam
pzign.
Usually the beets are contracted for
by the acre by the manufacturer the
winter before the season. A stipulated
price is paid per ton. In Colorado
the price averages SIS ton. The
farmer is provided with beet seed,
which he plants, cultivates and, II
wise, carefully watches until the last
harvest day. "a
Prospects for 1908. and, in fact, for
many years in the future. are bright.
Increased acreage, new factories and
high wages will all add to the pros
perity of the state. Nearly every farm
ing section is candidate for a beet
sugar factory.
colorado's Corn Crop.
The corn crop in 1907 is estimated
at 100000 bushels, valued at 100000.
Corn fodder crop, 100000 tons, valued
at 100000.
While corn has always and probably
always will be considered one of the
minor crops Of Colorado, owing to eli
matte conditions, during the last year
noticeable increase in grain and fod-
der productions Of corn is to be seen.
Systematic efforts are being made by
experts to increase the crop by adding
to the acreage every year. The total
acreage in corn in 1907 was 10000
acres, with an average y,-na On fifteen
bushels to the acre. Q"c>eo price, De-

In that city passed during the first

One of the early pastors of st.

Father Hurley transformed the rectory
into cholera hospital for everybody
suffering from the dread disease Out
|of S87 patients which this good priest
and his assistants attended, only forty
eight We're Catholics, the remainder
were protesting Protestants, and yet
a few years afterwards, on May S,
1874, the Church, with this very rec
tory, was burnt to the ground by a
nom Catholic mob. The Rev. Mr.. Good
man, a Protestant. writes thus in his
pamphlet published at the time: with
confusion of face. yet with impartial
Justice before men and angels, the
writer will state that in the season of
that terrible scourge, the Rev. Mr.
Hurley, priest of ST. Augustine's, con-
verted the rectory, thus in his occu-
pancy, into a cholera hospital. Every
room in his mansion was appropriated
to this divine work. His own chamber
was given to the dying, and that study
where he learned his Masters will
was made the practical commentary
Of the Judgment he had formed of it,"
Further on. the Rev. Mr.. Goodman
says: Go to the rectory. mark that
it is in ruins; that the very hospital
has been burned by miscreants who
dared to profane the name of Protes-
tantism, when they applied the torch
to the home of Catholic priests
On the blackened walls Of st. Angus
tines Church there remained only the
inscription. THE Lord Seeth."

JAMES JEFFREY ROCHE.
Sketch Of Famous Literary Genius
Recently Deceased.

James Jeffrey Roche. American con-
sui at Berne, Switzerland. died Friday,
April 3. Mr.. Roche had won fame as
poet. editor and patriot. He was best
known to the general public as writ
er of strong and virile sea verses. In
Catholic circles he was known as the
successor and friend of John Boyle
O'Reilly, editor of the Boston Pilot,
says the Western Watchman.
An Irishman by birth, he had in
herited a hatred of England and of
English political institutions, and per-
haps his most ringing verses We're in
spired by this life long resentment
This led him to glorify the early mari
time victories of the American navy in
verses like the eight of the Arm
strong Privateer"
Like many other men of letters. Mr..
Roche entered the consular career late
in life, and after he had made his rep
utation as brilliant and trenchant
writer. He had succeeded John Boyle
O'Rel1y as editor Of The Boston Pilot,
and despite the Democratic traditions
of the publication he supported Roose-
Welt vigorously during the campaign.

Mr.. Roches nomination for the post of

tion in ST Dunstan's Jesuit College.

however, opened the way to a more
congenial field, since he Joined John
Boyle O'Reilly in the capacity of as
sociate editor of the Boston Pilot. This
was in 1883, and three years later he
published Songs and Satires," which
enjoyed a distinct and immediate sue
cess This was followed by Ballads
of Blue Water" and by dashing tale
in prose called 1.-The Story of the Fill
busters In this last Mr.. Roche gave
reign to his love for adventure In
deed, it was Mr.. Roche's romantic
fondness for the big wild virtues of
courage and fortitude, or half-savage
Indifference to suffering and hardship
that inspired most of his writings and
led him again and again to return to
the deeds of the old sea royers for his
material. In verse and in prose he was
able to invest them with the air of
reality and enlist the sympathy of the
reader.
AS an editorial writer his work was
instinct with a satiric quality that
never sank into bitterness. 1t was full
of pith and point and yet left very
little sting. This was explained by
the kindly humor of the man, which
made him great favorite with those
who knew him in personal way. The
spirit of light-hearted raillery which
was his racial heritage found express
sion in occasional society verse of
great technical finish. One of the
best known of these fugitive pieces is
The Vase" originally published in
Life, which has since been included
in several volumes of collected society
| verse.
! The constant strain of editorial
work, which had impaired his health,
prompted him to enter the consular
service. He benefited but little, how
ever, from the milder climate of Italy,
and had done little writing since he
| went abroad.
