Through the bitter rivalry of three

nights as many as 25 Chinese have

that several comfortable fortunes

WILL ADJUST INSURANCE.
Theories Advanced for Slaughter
House Fire.

The adiuster for the svea and Ag-
ricultural Insurance companies ar
rived In the city this afternoon for
the purpose of adjusting the losses
on the August Blenz slaughter house
and the beeyes belonging to He'll &
McPhee contained in 1t. which we're
destroyed by fire Thursday night.
The firm of He'll q McPhee have
for some time been engaged In a
wholesale meat business to the diff
ferent markets In the town, and
Thursday evening about 1880 o'clock.
while they we're absent, the building
was destroyed by fire, Neither one
of the firm had been to the place for
some time, and no fire of any kind
had been used in IL for Ave or six
days, and 1t Is believed that the FIRE
was the work of an incendiary.
Neither one of the firm had occasion
to visit the place until yesterday
morning, and II was then for the
first time that the lire was made
known to them.
The building was valued at about
$500 and the beeves and hides con-
tanned in 1t at about $3.50. The
building was covered by an insurance
OF $3.50. and the stock by $250.
Those acquainted with the situa-
ton have no hesitancy in expressing
the belief that the fire was OF incen-
diary origin. Neither the owner OF
the building nor the firm having the
stock contained in II are aware OF
any enemies who might have com
mitted the deed in spirit of re
venge. The country surrounding the
slaughter house is thickly settled
and its existence is offensive TO tbs
residents, and the theory 10 advanced
and accepted in some quarters, tina
some one living near may have L.
nited the building with a view OF rid
ding the community of It.
A thorough investigation OF thu
matter will be made with the view
of apprehending those guilty OF thu
crime.

The Sugar
Beet Crop
HUGE TONNAGE WILL BE HAR
VESTED THIS YEAR IN COLO
RADO.-REPORTS FROM RAIL
ROADS AND FROM FACTOR
les AND FARMERS INDI-
CATE THE LARGEST
CROP EVER HAR-



The sugar beet harvest is on in
earnest and as indicated by prelimin
ary reports from both railway and fac
tory sources, the Colorado farmers
money CROP will equal il it does not
exceed the record of last year in total
tonnage. The experts on beet testing
gave the signal for digging yesterday
In the Loyeland, Fort Collins, Windsor
and Longmont districts and the farm
ers put large forces Of diggers and
teamsters at work Immediately to seDG
the big tubers to the factories at the
points named or TO places along the
railroads where they are dumped into
cars, which carry them to the sugar
mills.
Digging in the sugar beet fields
down the Platte river began this year
from September 14th to 2lst. matUr-
ing a little earlier than in Larimer
county on account of the difference in
altitude. The factory at Sterling
started to slice beets on September
21st. and the mills at Brush and Fort
Morgan began work September 2Sth.
Burlington and Union Pacific traffic
officials say the crop is being offered
at lively rate along the Platte val
ley. Officials Of the Great Western
Sugar Company, which controls the
three Platte valley factories report the
crop equal to that of last year, both in
quantity and contents as far as can
be judged by expert tests and from
uniformly cheerful reports from the
beet farmers Comparatively few re
port a shortage of crop and whatever
loss might be suffered in this respect
is probably more than made up in the
increased acreage over the beet area
last year.
The Colorado & Southern reports
the beet crop beginning to move at a
lively rate and that there will be
plenty reserve stock on hand to per
init the Windsor, Collins, Loveland and
Longmont factories to start in few
days. The Greeley and Eaton sugar
mills will begin grinding about Octo-
Der 5th and from that time until March
1st, the wheels will run night and day
turning out the sacked article ready
for the market. The beet harvest in
the Arkansas valley is few days
earlier and the factories at Lamar

Swink Holly and Manzanola are run

Who Are
Your Friends?
SHALL COLORADO PLACE HER.
SELF IN THE OKLAHOMA
CLASS?

At the coming election the state of
Colorado is going to line up with one
or the other of two groups of states in

England New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and our sister
states in the Rocky Mountain region.
or shall We line up with South Caro-

Twice the majority OF the voters of
this state have elected to get in line
with the latter group.
How did we like it?
Was it pleasant for Colorado man
who had a first-class mining proposi-
ton to present to go to New York and
find as soon as he announces the state
of his residence, that nobody with
money 10 invest cared to hear any
thing further about it?
Can anyone rightly estimate the mil
lions of investment money that might
have been placed in Colorado which
were withheld simply because this
state in 1896 and 1900 had chosen to
place Itself in the Democratic column
The people of Colorado are among
the most intelligent in the Union
Shall we join with the other states OF
intelligence or shall we join with the
group of states which has the greatest
percentage of illiteraey. the smallest
school attendance and the smallest
number of voters in proportion to pop
ulation of any part of the Union?
In the state of Colorado as high
in the Union. The people of this
state believe in a generous remunera-
ton of every man who works as the
fruit Of his toll Shall We line up with
the states in which high wages are
raid. in which union labor secures its
fullest recognition or shall we line up
with the states where unions are
scarcely recognized and where wages
are lower than in any other portion of
this country?
Now is the time for Colorado to
keep step to the music of the Union.
Now is the time for us to declare by
our majority for the Republican ma
tional and state tickets that we belong
among the progressive states-that we
desire a place in the prosperity col
umn and that by our votes We propose
to claim that place.

fhe Candidates
for Governor
THE TWO PRINCIPAL NOMINEES
CONTRASTED BY AN iNDE-
PENDENT NEWSPAPER.

As between the Republican and
Democratic candidates for governor
the people of Colorado ought to have
no difficulty in making choice. Jesse
F. Mcdonald, the Republican candi-
date, Is a man of tried ability and ex-
perience, having already given the
state one of its most successful almiE-
istrations. Mr.. Mcdonald was elected
lieutenant-governor on the ticket with
James H. Peabody in November. 1904.
and succeeded to the governorship the
following January as result Of the
contest which eliminated both Peabody
and Adams. He assumed office at
time of unusual stress and excitement:
the whole state was wrought up over
the events growing out of the Western
Federation strike, and seldom has
more bitterness been engendered by
political contest than was caused by
the struggle for the governorship be-
tween the adherents of Peabody and
Adams.
A strong man was needed at the
helm. man who could step in at the
head of the state administration and
restore peace and order. Governor
Mcdonald proved to be the man for
the place. With his accession came
an end to the turmoil Throughout
the two years of his administration
the state enjoyed industrial peace and
prosperity Its affairs probably never
were better administered, and Cover
nor Mcdonald retired from Office at the
end of his term with the respect and
confidence of his political opponents
as well as OF all of his friends.
Mr.. Shafroth, his opponent, who re-
joices in the appellation of Honest
John,' is the gentleman who attained
fame few years ago by resigning his
seat in Congress just in time to save
himself from being kicked out because
of his fraudulent election Undoubtedly
Mr.. Shafroth is an Honest John" Just
as there are thousands of men in the
country who might call themselves
Honest Bill, or Honest Jim, or Honest
Tom, with perfect propriety, IL they
regarded their honesty as SO excep-
tional as to require advertising-which
seems to be the case with the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor.-Colo-
