Sugar Factory for Delta.

Denver--A Delta dispatch Friday
night says: Citizens and business men
are dancing around large bonfire at
the corner of Third and Main streets
tonight as the result Of the news which
reached here by telegram from New
York this afternoon that Delta is to
have one of the finest sugar factories
in the state of Colorado.
The factory will cost nearly 81 800
900, and IS to be built by New York, St.
Louis and Kansas City capital
For the last week NJ. J. Dunbar of
New York, representing capitalists
from the three cities mentioned has
been in Delta comforting with the BUS
ness lens association, which has been
working hard for the factory. and the
message today states that its efforts
have not been in vain.
The company back of the affair is
known as the Surety Sugar Land & II
rigation Company, and the Telegram
stated that the company had put up its
100000 l'nd as Il guarantee that tn
project will be carried out.
The company is incorporated for 81
100000. divided into $500 shares o
500 share. Work will be startc
soon and the factory is expected to b.
completed within about n year
Delta has pledged 5O-acre Location
for the factory and must take 100000
of the caDital stock Six thousand acre
OF sugar boets have been pledged. TIL
company agrees to pay fiat rate of 5
a ton for bects for three years.

Mares For Experiment Station.

Dean CARLYLE of the Agricultural
a short time to join Professor Curtiss
of Iowa and Expert Rummel of the De-
partment of Agriculture and the three
acting as committee will select a
number of mares to be added to the
government experiment stud at Fort
Collins. The appropriation for this
purpose is only $1,000 and it is prob
able that it will not go far in purchas-
ing the kind OF mares that Carlyle
wants.
The horse experiment station AT
Fort Collins has been in operation now
for about three years and results al
ready obtained indicate the complete
success OF the experiment. There are
now some forty odd colts on the farm
and some OF them are wonders. In
the beginning there was fear OF two
things: First, that Cannon, the stall
lion, would not prove prepOtcnt enough
to reproduce himself. and second, that
it would be impossible to secure the
size and weight wanted without sac
rifice Of quality and finish. Both of
these fears have proven groundless.
Every colt in the bunch shows the
unmistakable stamp of the sire and
the climate and food have produced
the size and weight without any ap
parent loss of quality, beauty and fin.
iSh.
The training of the older colts has
already commenced and they are max
ing fine progress. The addition of II
few fine mares will add very greatly
TO the value of the experiment.
The establishment of a type of Am
erican carriage horses was an expert
ment that was regarded with much
doubt by the horsemen of the country
but those who have seen the results
thus far obtained are enthusiastic and
in the minds of those who have been
watching Carlyle's work there Is no
longer any doubt but that the new type
will be established and that it will be
popular with the pcople.-Record-

torium for the treatment Of curaDle
cases of tuberculosis among the work
ing classes.
). a prize of $1,000 is offered for

for family or group of families OF
wage-earners designed in the interest
Of the crusade against tuberculosis. In
addition tC the prize of 81 900, TWO gold
medals and three silver medals will be
awarded. The prize and medals will
be accompanied by diplomas or cerliti
Gates of award. This prize is designed

proper heating, and general sanitary
arrangement for an inexpensive home
A model Of house and furnishing is re-
quired.
4. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
the best exhibit of dispensary or
kindred institution for the treatment
of the tuberculous poor.
5. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
the best exhibit of a hospital for the

berculosis
In addition to the $1,000 prize in
each of the above cases, two gold
medals and three silver medals will

The Hodgkins fund prize of 81, 500
is offered by the Smithsonian institu-
tion for the best treatise that may be
submitted on THE Relation OF Atmos-
pheric Air to tuberculosis"
The detailed definition of this prize
may be obtained from the secretary
general of the International society or
secretary of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, Charles d. Walcott.
A gold medal and two silver medals
are offered for the best exhibits sent
in by any states of the United States
illustrating effective organization for
the restriction of tuberculosis
In the list. of prizes, attention is
about equally divided between meas
ures for the care or relief of sufferers
from the white plague" and those
concerned primarily with the preven-
tion of the disease. 1t has taken Il
long time for civilized people to find
out that the principal ground on which
the battle against tuberculosis is
fought is in the homes. 1t has been
much easier to accept scientific discov-
cries than to face the every day fact
that dirt dampnesS. darkness. vice ana
privation are the strongest allies that
tuberculosis has. The records of the
visiting nurses, and the maps of "mng
blocks give all the positive evidence
needed on this score.

Steers at County Fairs.

In the classification for the last
Western Stock Show premiums were
offered on steers that had won first or
second premium at any county or state
fair. The idea of this classification
was to thus make a connection with
the county and state fair live stock eX-
hibitionS. but to the surprise of the
managers of the show there were but
few entries. Investigation developed
the fact that the county fairs as Il rule
do not offer premiums on steers, con-
sequCntlv would-be exhibitors were
barred from this class. Notwithstand-
ing this fact the show association will
make the same classification for the
next chow and the county fair manage
ments throughout the state are urged
to make a classification for steers SO
that the various localities may be
matched against each other at the next
stock show in Denver. No more inter
esting class could be made at any
county fair. The fat steer is the COM
mercial end of stock growing and 1t is
fitting and right that in addition r30he
breeding stock that the product be cX-
hibitcd. Il stOckmen through the state
would insist or even ask for this clas-
sificatiOn il will undoubtedly be grant
ed by all the county fairs. The exhibi-
ton of the winners at Denver will
make most interesting feature of the
show.-Record-S -Stockman.

Is poor and friendless and the state is

TAFT GOES TO YALE
FOR COMMENCEMENT.
He Will Spend Some Time
There-Has Made No Plans
AS to How He Will Spend
The Summer.

Dennison, o., June 22.-Secretary
Taft had a narrow escape last night
from being involved in serious wreck
on the Pennsylvania flyer, which was
carrying him East.
Prompt action of the towerman in
a signal station, third Of a mile east
OF Coshocton, and of the engineer of
the flyer alone averted what might
have been serious accident.
AS the train was speeding along at
rate of fifty miles an hour, the pis-
ton rod on the left side of the loco
motive broke short off and the cylinder
of the engine was cracked by the un-
manageable rod.
The train was just approaching a
signal tower east of Coshocton. The
operator saw that something serious
was wrong and threw down a signal
to stop the train. The engineer ap-
piled the emergency brakes and the
train OF six cars came to a stop on a
sharp curve. The accident occurred
at $50 o'clock.
Secretary Taft and National Com
mitteeman kellogg entered the dining
car and sat down to dinner, even after
the accident occurred, without a
thought of anything serious in connec-
ton with the stopping and delay of
the train. The secretary made no
comment on the incident when in
formed Of it. The engineer of the To-
comotive explained that it was merely
good luck that averted a bad accident.

gone under the train" said he, 1--WE
would have gone into the ditch, as we
were running fifty miles an hour For
