ing, are they more or are they less
anxious to raise beets?" All answered
that they were more anxious; that the
interest was increasing, and in all but
one ease the acreage was extending.
To the question, "Have farm mort
cages increased or decreased since the
erection of the factory, and to what
extentl' all but two stated that they
had decreased, some materially, some
% per cent, some 80 per cent; one,
that very few farms were now mort
gagged. Two stated that farm mort
cages had increased owing to the fact
that renters were becoming able to buy
on partial payments.
Another question asked was, "The
average price for agricultural lands
prior to the location of the factory and
Mt the present timer" Two gave no
price before the factory was erected,
the land being a desert and of little
value; land in one of these sectionsnow
being worth 800 per acre. in the other
$50 per acre; of the others the smal-
lest increase was 20 per cent, the
greatest $50 per cent. The average
price of all was 34.2s per acre prior
to the location of the factory, and
1855 at the time of the report. The
average increase in value was 124 per
cent. But this was not the whole of
merchants and real estate men were
benefited; in fact, the whole communi-
ty. The following statistics have been
gathered from the reports:
Assessed valuation, increase, 130 per
cent; population, increase, 80 1-2 pc,
cent; average value of residence lots
increase, 50 per cent; average value OF
business lots, increase, 1873 per cent.
Another thing about the beet sugar
industry is the fact that is is impos
sible to make trust out of it without
taking the farmers into the deal, and
the factories must be scattered.

GUY DEAN GETS ten YEARS
Ralph Rozzi Is Not Guilty. Says the
Jury, After SageIy De|iberating for
One Hour and Twenty Minutes

Owing to the absence of District At
torney Gentry, Attorney Clark of Aspen
took the ease of the state and did his
best, but the evidence was too weak as
is proven by the verdict returned.
Ralph Rozzi was accused of killing
his wife and throwing her body into
Grand river on the evening of July 6.
There was no direct evidence to con
meet him with the crime and the jury
must have thought the circumstances
favored the defendant. Witnesses told
of his mistreating his wife and of his
having struck her on the evening she
was last seen alive, but not one could
connect him with the woman's death.
With the Rozzi case out of the way
Attorney Clark, this morning, asked
that sentence be passed on Guy R.
Dean, found guilty of the charge OF
assaulting little Josephine Palero, the
Italian girl of Shoshone.
Judge Shumate gave him not less
than ten years nor more than fourteen
in the state prison in Canon City.

Governor Bucttel Issues An.
nuaI Order Setting Apart
November Twenty Six
EVERYONE GIVE THANKS

DENVER. Nov. l9.-Governor Henry
A. Buchtel has issued his Thanksgiving
proclamation, which is as follows:
"The president of the United States
has set apart Thursday, the 2eth day
of November, as day of Thanksgiving
and prayer. In harmony with general
custom, I, Henry A. Buchtel, governor
of the state of Colorado, unite with
the president and the governors of all
the states and territories in designat
ing the last Thursday in this month as
our day of thanksgiving and prayer.
"We in Colorado have every year in
creasing reasons for sincere thanks to
Almighty God in whom we live and
move and have our being. From the
material side we have abundant cause
for rejoicing. All our people are com
ing into larger comfort every yeai.
Colorado is rich in organized happiness
in the homes of the plain people who
are never gazeted in the papers be-
cause they are always upright and
good. All sorts and conditions of men
are finding here life of comfort anu
freedom from want.
"Wc have yet greater reason to re-
joice because we have fine schools and
a growing interest in the higher life of
the spirit. Our rapidly growing
churches tell the story of the strength
and stability of this higher life which
has its source in downright serious pur
pose to put away the wrong world by
making the right world. In no other
community on earth can one find among
good people sancr tolerance or n
larger and swecter charity. The bit
terness of earlier times have been sup
planted by the Christian warmth of
feeling which leads up to count all men
as brothers. "Oh, give thanks unto
the Lord; for He is good because His
mercy endureth forever"
Let every one remember the poor at
this season of thanksgiving. Blessed
is he that considereth the poor; the
Lord will deliver him in time Of
trouble.'
"Let every one practice the presence
of God in reverent worship in God Is
house. Let every one also practice the
presence of God in kindness to men and
women and children and dumb animals
The test of religion is in kindness OF
heart and in exhibitions of gentlenes,
toward all life about us. "Go YOU
way, eat the fat and drink the sweet
and send portions unto them for whom
nothing is prepared; for this day il
holy unto our Lord; neither be We sor
ry; for the joy of the Lord is you
strength.
In witness whereof, I have hereuntt
set my hand and caused the great sea
of state to be affixed at Denver, thu
state capital, this 18th day of Novem
Der, A. d. 1908.
I HENRY A. BUCHTEL.

FAvORS BOND ISSUE.

Grand Valley News.
We notice from the Rifle papers thai
our progressive county commissioners
have agreed to put in new steel bridge
at Rifle across the Grand river; this
is certainly good work on the part OF
the commissioners, it not only gives
Rifle what they deserve. but at the
same time it saves the county money
inasmuch as the old bridge was great
expense each year, and at any moment
may collapse; good for the commits
sioners and good for Rifle. We under
stand the bridge is to cost $25 1000, that
is all right, but still why make it tax
levy? Why not issue bonds for $780,.
900 at 6 per cent and call them bridgs
and road bonds? Create sinking fund
and within 255 years the bonds will
have been paid: in the meantime the
cost will be but $4,000 for interest and
$4,000 for sinking fund, in that way
the taxpayer pays for these improve
ments by degrees, and has the benefit
of these improvements now. As the
commissioners build steel bridges and
concrete culverts that really last for
ever.
Now, about the 100000 The Roam
creek district is entitled to $4,000. The
town of Grand Valley is located direct
ly in the center of the county, north,
south, east and west; to develop the
western half of the country we want
bridge at Una, will cost, say $1,000,
we want $1,000 to complete the road
to Piceance up Parachute creek, we
want $500 for road to the Plateau
country, and then $4,000 to make
boulevard from the Mesa county line
to Webster hill, that means $l5, 900 west
of Webster hill which is over 12 miles
east of the center of the county. Now,
with theRifle bridge at s25,000 and say
81, 900 for roads about Rifle and $1,000
for bridges and roads at Antlers, Silt
and Divide, and assume that New Castle
wants $4,000 and Glenwood and Car
bondale $4,000, all amounting to $780,.
900, would leave $4,000 to bc expend-
ed in the future.
Now, inasmuch as the democratic
platform called for good roads, our
new democratic congressman Taylor,
Martin, and Rucker, and our new state
senator Napier, and congressman Lux
on, and the three democratic county
commissioners Brennan, Diffendarfer,
and Switzer, we see no reason why this
county should not issue the bonds for
100000 and put these improvements
through at once, and with some govern
ment and state aid making this the
banner county of the state so far as
roads and bridges are concerned, and
by the bond system relieve the taxpay-
ers of heavy tax any one year.

COLORADO PEOPLE
FIGHT FOR GRAND

DENVER, Nov. 2O.-Millions of dol
lars, the United States government,
great power and irrigation companies
and hundreds of irrigationists soon will
become involved in the greatest legal
struggle over water rights ever known.
1t is fight of the western slope
against the eastern slope for the water
in the Grand river and its tributaries
The first move will be made early
next month, probably In Denver. The
papers already are being drawn up by
a dozen lawyers. On the western slope
those involved are:
Grand Valley canal, irrigating 100,
600 acres of land.
United States government (Gunnison
project, irrigating 100000 acres.
High Line canal irrigating $1,000
acres.
Orchard Mesa canal, irrigating 49,
900 acres
Bonita Valley canal, irrigating 1000
acres.
Central Colorado Power company,
capital $12OOO,OOO
De Beque Power company.
Involved on the eastern slope are:
PoudreValley canal (Skyline), tax
ing 400 cubic feet second.
Henrylyn canal, taking 700 cubic
feet second.
Company at head of St. Vrain
The Grand Valley and Bonita Valley
canals already are in operation Work
is progressing on the others.
The greatest company involved is
the Central Colorado Power company
now building sl,OOO,OOO power plant
in Grand river canon ten miles above
Glenwood Springs. This company, pro
NOTED by Myron Herrick of Ohio. has
1000 men at work. 1t will generate
$4,000 horsepower Unless it has the
full flow of the Grand river its project
will fail
The story of this battle. like all r.
rigation and power stories, is more OF
Tess complicated. Over on the western
slope canal companies and farmers OBJ
tanned rights in the Grand river by ap
preparation. That is, there was sup
posed to be sufficient water in the
Grand river for all time and therefore
the construction of ditch was suf1i,.
lent to secure a man 8 rights or n com
y, -, A. NJ
has ever been adjudicated.
A movement is going on to have tbs
courts adjudicate these rights. as tn;
settlement of the country makes it ne
cessary. Last summer showed that the
water was needed, and that there were
indications that as the country settled
there would be a scarcity of water.
In the last two years eastern slop'
promoters have been busy. In northern
Colorado the Poudre valley people hav,
built canal that takes 400 feet a sec
ond out of the headwaters of the Grant
river, bringing it over the eastern slop
by n high line and a tunnel. The Hen
rylyn plan is to take 700 cubic feet
second ont of the Fraser, a tributary o
the Grand and bring it to the caster
slope by n tunnel. The head of the ST
Vrain and the Grand are included il
another eastern slope scheme.
With these waters taken out of tn
head of the Grand and its tributarie
the flow in the Grand river necessaril.
