SUGAR BEET EXPERTS HERE Not Factory Men But Pracd-
 cal Beet Growers AN INCIDENT OF COLORADO A Beet Grower Who Made a Success Against the Prediction of Failure, Even by MT. Davies Men.
AN INCIDENT OF COLORADO

Every day now is a day of hustllng in the offices of the Southwestern Su- gar and Land company and the only time one can undertake to find Man aser Davic with assurance of success. is when he is asleep. It is believed he is quiet while in repOse but at all other times he has more business than a Housewife during county fair week Yesterday however. he was caught in the act of renewing his acquaintance with an old friend named F. A. Mayol
 who came here from Delta county about five months ago. having heard that this was sort of a coming par aGisa. and before Mir. Davie had un- dertakcn the sugar project in this val lcv. Now that the wrinkles are ironed out and the campaign is on in earnest Mir NIayol. who has been working at his trade as a carpenter, thought he would hunt up Mir. Davie and see if there was anything doing in his other line. that of raising sugar beets. He fcu-G that most likely there will be.
 Mir 2iayol did not enter MT. Davies office in fear and trembling for he knows exactly what kind of a game MT. Davie plays. He has been up against it before and that too. from the outside of the table. and never quit it loser. The way to play it is. to kroW how to raise sugar beets and Mir. Mayoi knows how. He can always win when he does business with a man like Mir Davie who knows how to run the

sugar factory. end of the game and who also has the resources and the in- clination to perform his full part in every contract He raised beets up near Grand Junction for several sea sons with the best kind Of success usually and once he made a very good success of it when he had no license to. He secured a twenty acre patch of ground that the neighbors said was worthless for the reason that it was seeded down to wild oats. For five years before the wild oats had mined the beet and grain crops of others on that particular patch Mir. Mayol took 1t just the same and raised beets. The sugar factory management even after an inspection of the patch predicted failure and told him he was up against a proposition that at the best could not net him over thirteen tons to the acre. He smiled and kept on raising beets. finally turning in to the factory sixteen and a half tons per acre of beets that went 1G per cent saccharine matter and S2 per cent purity.
 He says Mir. Davie and his associ- ates kept every pledge in that country and paid every bill He knows their record for he lived there and was one of the men who got some of their money He did not come down here especially to raise beetS but would be at it in q minute if he had the land and has not yet decided just what he will do As for his success in raising beets after he told his story Mir Davie pulled out an old record book of ahis Colorado business, Che always has these things handy) and verifies the remarks Of his visitor to a dot
 Another pilgrim arrived here yes terday also. to worship at the sugar factory the coming winter and sum mer and there will be many of them from now on for this is to be the mecca of the foot loose beet men in other parts from now on. This man is Dwight N. Graves of Garden City. Kansas, where he has been in charge of Mir. Davies ranches in Kansas and Colorado and trailing along behind him, somewhere about Albuquerque. are a couple of carloads of sugar beet mules and sugar beet tools which are en route here to be used on the com pany's farms. MT. Garves will be em- pioyed here by the company in some capacity. no doubt similar to his work up north.
 The signing of contracts goes along smoothly and there is ample assurance that the project is to be a great sue cess. There is still plenty of room however and the factory will make all the contracts wanted by the farmers. guaranteeing to take all they can raise this year and no doubt every other year. One successful factory here means two and then three and Mir. McKinnie says four He ought to know for he has helped build enough of them. He knows what the coun- try can do and he knows what he and MT Davie can do. Better than that he knows what a sugar beet can do and says it can do as much here as anywhere and a great deal more than in some places. All possible encour- agement should be given the sugar beet men for the more sugar beets there are raised the fewer dead beets there need be in the country

POWER FOR THREE CITIES
Plan TO Dam the Red River Near Hal
stad, This State

stad, This State
A number Of prominent men of the
Red River valley have formed a COM
pany which has as its object the erec-
tion of a big dam on the Red river
near Halstad, this state, at the juno
t1on of the Red river and the Wild
Rice river, ard if they are allowed to
carry out the project it will mean the
construction of the biggest power
plant in that section of the country.
There is a possibility that the erec-
tion of the dam will be frowned upon
by the United States government, as
1t is not clearly demonstrated that
this stream is not navigable to that
point. However. such is the interest
taken in the project by those who
have taken it up that they will send
man to Washington at once to ascer-
tain the governments attitude.
The banks of the river at the point
Of the proposed dam are high and the
river is narrow, forming something of
a rapids, and a competent engineer re-
ports that enough power can be de-
yeloped from this one dam to supp.y
ali of the power needed in the cities
OF Fargo, Crookston and Grand Forks.

ONLY ONE INMATE ESCAPES

Fire starting at a stovepipe hole in
the floor of the house caused the
deaths of four persons and the pos
sibly fatal injury of a fifth on the farm
of c. w. Engle six miles southwest of
Preston. The dead are:
c. W. Engle, thirty-seven years old;
Mrs. c. W. Engle, Mrs. Thomas Yeast,
mother of Mrs. Engle; Baby Engle,
the infant child of the first named vic

Thomas Yeast, Mrs. Engles father,
was the only inmate of the house who
escaped from the flames and he was
SO seriously burned in attemnting to
rescue the others that his injuries,
with the subsequent exposure, may
cause his death. He inhaled smoke
and flames and internal injuries are
feared. The house was completely de-
stroyed.
The bodies of the four victims of
the fire were almost completely in
cinerated. No trace whatever of the
baby could be found in the ruins. Of
the other victims nothing is left but
their skulls and a few bits of partly
burned flesh and clothing, all of which

ALICE THAW DIVORCED.
Secures AnnuIment of MARRIAGE to
Earl of Yarmouth.

Earl OF SaFfnCuCN.
London, Feb. Sir Birrell Barnes,
president of the divorce court, has
granted the Countess of Yarmouth,
who was Miss Alice Thaw of Pitts
burg, d decree nullifying her marriage
to the Earl of Yarmouth.
The case was heard in private. At
the time of the commencement of the
proceedings every one not actually en-
gagged on the case was excluded from
the courtroom. The case was practi-
cally undefended and the hearing
lasted for only half an hour. The
countess, attired in a fashionable
black gown, was present, but the Earl
of Yarmouth was not in court.
Only four witnesses were examined.
They were the Countess of Yarmouth
herself, her maid, doctor appointed
by the court and an American lawyer
who proved the marriage. The count
ess gave evidence in support of her
allegation that the marriage had never
been conSummated and the maid tes-
titled that the earl and the countess
ASsu DCClt living do t1tdu duu Vile. AC-
cerding to the evidence of the doctor
the Earl of Yarmouth was capable of
consummating the marriage, but coun.
sci for the plaintiff contended that this
did not affect the allegation that the
marriage had not been consummated
and he pointed out to the judge that it
was within the discretion of the court
to annul the marriage if it was proved
that it had not been cOnsummated.
