Fort Collins Sugar Season.

Denver.-A Fort Collins dispatch
says: At 1850 o'clock Sunday morning
the last of the beet crop of 1907,
grown in this district for the local
sugar factory, was run through the
slicers, thus practically ending the
sugar making campaign which opened
September 10th. A few days will be
required to convert the juice on hand
into sugar, and when this is done the
factory will close until next fall. Dur
ing the campaign of 130 days the fac
tory sliced more than 100000 tons of
beets, including between 1900 and
$4,000 tons raised in the Loveland and
Longmont districts, and not day was
lost during the campaign on any ac-
count, or for any reason, and not Sc
rious accident occurred from the time
of starting up the machinery until it
was ready to close down Sunday. The
campaign has been the most success
full and the most satisfactory all around
in the history of the local factory.

any of them.
Mr.. Mitchell has announced that he
intends to take long vacation to en-

Mine Workers jurisdiction over all
coal miners was favorably commented
upon and referred to commission to
be named later to bring the matter be-

ialize congress to create a bureau Of

Chicago Tramps Feasted.

Chicago, Ill.-Two hundred and fifty
tramps fed on the bounty Of five men,
bers of the Chicago Athletic Associ-
alton Monday.

hour men from a West Side lodging
house had assembled and were taken
to three restaurants in lower State
street and fed at 80 cents a head, with

Packing Plant Burned.

Kansas City-Fire of unknown
origin started in the canning depart
ment on the second floor of one of the
twin main buildings of the $2,000,00O
packing plant of Nelson Morris & Co.,
on the Kaw river in Kansas City,
Kan, Tuesday night, threatened de-
struction of the entire plant and
caused loss estimated at S750,000 be-
fore it was controlled.
All efforts to save the east main
building, in which the fire started,
and the box factory, were abandoned
within an hour after the flames were
discovered, and the firemen devoted
themselves to the work of saving the
other buildings.
The building in which the fire
started contained the canning depart
ment, the coolers, the dressing room,
the wholesale department, and killing
beds and the contents supplied tho
fire with fuel which made the flames
difficult to combat. The fire had
gained great headway before the fire
department arrived and the heat was
so intense that it was impossible for
the firemen to make any progress in
checking it except to prevent its
spreading. The box factory in the rear
Of the main building was entirely de-
stroyed. The flames also spread to
the cattle chutes, many of which were
burned.
The other main building contains
the general Offices and the engine
room and much salvage from the
burned building was carried into It,.
The Morris packing plant was the new
est in this city, having been completed
two years ago.

A HARTMAN OP-
PORTUNITY.
Editorial in Portland Journal.

Editorial In Portland journal.
A Wallowa county paper, (The
News Record) mentioning the
fact that 5000 hogs had been sold
out of Wallowa Valley during the
past four months, added that when
the railroad was completed through
the valley as projected there would
le four times as many hogs raised
there. And this is all the more
prnba able on account of the great
packing lants to be built in Port
land.
This one instance illustrates the
need of the completion of that long
promised and long deferred rail
road Other products would in
crease in volume and value also;
population and taxable property
would increase; the railroad would
benefit greatly not only that region
but Portland as well And there
can be no doubt that the road
would be very profitable. Yet Mr.
Hartman will neither build thai
road nor permit anyone else tc
build one there.
The establishment of these pack
| ing plants here will give biz
boom to the hog raising industry
in the Oregon country. In severa
of the counties of eastern Oregon
especially, farmers are contemplat
ing the raising of more hogs
When grain is very high hog
might not be profitable, but it ha
been demonstrated by some farm
e-s that it pays at the price hog
have been lately, to feed even rs
cent wheat to them. And thes
packing houses will make an un
limited market for all the hog
that can be raised.

In A GOOD COUNTRY.
From the Kennewick Reporte r

Many residents of this city will re-
member Daniel Boyd, formerly practic-
ing attorney in Kennewick where he
enjoyed the confidence and fellowship
OF many friends. Mr.. Boyd IL now Sec
retary of the Wallowa Land & Abstract
company in Enterprise, Oregon, of which
city he is the mayor.
To one of the editors OF the Reporter,
who is an old time friend, Mr.. Boyd
writes:
"Dear Scott:
II have just seen copy OF your paper
and find it to be up to date. You have
settled in the best town and the b. st
country in the Northwest with one ex-
ception, Enterprise, and the Wallowa
country. Here is to yOi, and your
family and the Reporter, may you live
long and prosper. Send me the paper
for one year and I will send check upon
receipt OF bill.
Sincerely yours,
Daiilel BOYD"
We will agree with Daniel about this
being the best town and the best country
in the Northwest but will not admit the
exception although we say nothing but
good Of the Wallowa country and
the city of Enterprise where we
number some of the best friends we
ever expect to meet. v ith the advant-
ages of the country and the class of
people who inhabit 1t, Enterprise and
Wallowa county cannot but be one of
the finest spots in the United States,
hut-well We are living in Kennewick
now and we formerly lived in Enter
prise. Soft is merely question CT opin-
ion, bmt just the same KenEewick is
the best country on earth.
