Colorado's Beet Industry.

Colorado clinched still tighter her
grip on first place in beet sugar pro-
duction in the United States in 1907.
With sixteen sugar factories operating,
the largest acreage planted In the his.
tory of the industry in the state, and
record yield, the states output OF
sugar was swelled to i22732 $50
pounds. Farmers were paid about 81.
900. 900 more than in 1906. factory labor
earned $2,3l5.000. and the labor OF the
fields earned s2.77O.2OO. With this
great record Colorado may we'll be
proud.

article tell the tale of what was done

Company, in time for the fall cam.

Colorado earned her place at the top
OF the list of beet sugar producing
states in 1906 by showing larger
acreage than her nearest competitor
and larger total production of sugar
This year Colorado has sixteen fac.
tories OF total daily capacity of L.
lOO 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 1O,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 yari.

factories are compelled to shut down

Usually the beets are contracted for

winter before the season. A stipulated
p1ce is paid per ton. In Colorado
the price averages S. ton. The
farmer Is provided with beet seed
which he plants, cultivates and. n

harvest day.

Why the Bridge Fell.
COLORADO.

There will be a sigh OF relief all
over the country by reason OF the
substantial proof tha; the Quebec
bridge disaster was the result OF care
lessness which might have been avoid
ed, which ought TO have been pre-
vented. This seeming paradox lies IN
the fact that at first it appeared as II
the faul, lay in something outside the
ken Of engineers. which made every
large bridge in the country seem po-
tentially unsafe. That the engineer
ing plans as originally drawn were
correct and that they were changed by
an aged and infirm supervising en-
gineer apparently are accepted as the
fundamental facts in the case. II was
q man who was at fault and not en-
gineering principles. or course. says
Philadelphia Inquirer. this does not
Lessen the terrible aspects of the
tragedy, but Il does show that the
bridge can be rebuilt and be as safe
as any other structure. &; was the
gtost OF some unknown principle in
mechanics or physico-chemistry that
frightened engineers and made every
traveller tremble as he crossed one OF
the mighty structures which are de
serveAly the pride OF engineering
Now that the ghost is laid there will
be at least the satisfaction Of knowing
that II is not likely we shall have an
other such accident

to Yield to Simple Home
Recipe.

To relieve the worst forms of
Rheumatism, take a teaspoOnful of
the following mixture after each
meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces,
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists,
and are easily mixed by shaking
them well in a bottle. Relief is
generally felt from the first few
doses.
This prescription, states we'll
known authrity in Cleveland morn
ing paper. forces the clogged-up, in
active kidneys to filther and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid; which causes
Rheumatism.
Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease,
but dangerous to lie, this simple re-
cipe will no doubt be greatly valued
by many sufferes here at home, who
should at once prepare the mixture
to get this relief.
It is said that person VINO would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose DR. two daily, OF even few
times week, would never have ser.

Rheumatism.

which really relieve are scarce,
indeed. and when you need it, you
want it badly. Our druggists here
say they will either supply these in
gradients or make the mixture ready

SHORTER POETRY CROP,

The present year has seen an APP
preciable diminution in the number of
volumes of verse published IN England

well toward the 500 mark. In 1907 the
number has probably not been more
than half as great; there have been
fewer volumes of distinction, and the
average of quite negligible sheafets of
rhyme has been higher. II chances,

lions from Adoption of
Such a Plan.

ALBANY, March 1.-The Public Serv-
Ice Commission has decided that scrip
dividends cannot be authorized under
the law and has denied the application
of the Erie Railroad Company for au-
thority to issue such dividends on its
first and second preferred stock.
The Erie on august %, 1907, declared
a dividend of 2 per Eel on its pre-
ferred stock, payable October l, 1907,
and 4 per cent. on it's second preferred
stock, payable November 1, 1917. II
decided to issue interest-bearing divi-
dend warrants evidencing the right of
the stockholders to these dividends. Re-
fusing authorization for this, Chairman
Stevens in his written opinion ays
1.-THE money which 1t promises to
divide at g. future time still remain
the money of the corporation. 1t can
be applied to any lawful purpose of the
corporation at the discretion of the
directors, and after the declaration OF
a dividend payable in the future 1t has
no more power or authority over the
fund which 1t promises to divide than
it had before the declaration of the
dividend. Every dollar of the money
or property which warrants the dec
laration of such a dividend is already

TREASURY DEFICIT MORE
THAN WAS ANTICIPATED,

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The treas
ury department closed the month of
February with a deficit for the month
amounting to 49, $50, 100, which is more
than had been expected. The deficit
would have been even greater, having
reached more than SO, 0o0, 900 at the close
of business on the 2sth, but an unex-
pected surplus of nearly half a million
on the last day of the month drew it
down somewhat. The total receipts for
the month were only $4S,3 1924, 500, as
against $50, 1926. 900 last year, notwith-
standing that the month this yea was
one day longer than a year ago. Inter-
nal revenue receipts for the month
were SIS, 1876 AS. as against sos 0 900,
while customs we're $22, AIS, 1881, against
$2I, 553, S01 a year ago. For the month
the fiscal situation is about SIG, 500, 900
short of what it was at the end of
February a yea ago, there having been
a surplus for February last year of
S. 96, 1876. For the fiscal year thus far
the deficit is now $27, 247, 779. which puts
the department about sos, 900, 900 behind,
where it was at the opening of March a

During the past few days some prog

Company will take action Wednesday

declaration on the common will be
made, owing to the dullness In that

time than in other lines.
