Der of the organization would mis-
lead snd consequently be induced to
adopt an unfriendly feeling toward
the Company, which probably would
result in loss to all parties concern
ed, but nat least to the growers.
growers would judge the Company's S
action by the treatment they received
since the factory was started and not
listen to other parties, especially agi-
ators, there would exist without doubt
a proper feeling and all parties in
tcrcsted would cooperate and there
by realize better profits.
Considering the earnest efforts
which the Company has made to
make beet culture profitable to the
growers by advancing money, furnish
ing machinery, securing help and ad-
vising the growers through their ag-
cultivation known. and considering
its well known and established meth
cd of treating all growers alike, and
that honestly and fairly, he felt that
the Company was entitled to full con-
tidence from the growers and he did
not hesitate to say that the Com
any strongly resented any express
sions or even thoughts, about the
people questioning its honesty or in
tegrity.
lie asked them to cite sinple in
stance where even with the contract
being "onc-sided," as il has been call
cd by the members. that the grower
had not received every benefit which
he understood the contract offered
at the time he signed it or where the
Company had gone back on any ver-
bal or written agreement it had en-
tered into.
The members OF the committee
present admitted that they personally
had received whatever they under
stood the contract offered, regardless
OF its wording. and it seemed from
their general attitude that these pet
ty. grievances should really not have
entered the discussion.
Mr.. Wietzer further requested that
the growers, no matter even if they
ENT-2 7SgoS cyl-,gq
grew bcets under a term contract,
employ chemist OF their own to
check the beet analysises made in the
Company's laboratory, preferably I
man who came from their midst. the
same as the wcighmasters and tarc
men. so that there could be no doubt
whatever about the results.
Before the members left Mr.. Mich
aels stated that he had called the
committee together several times but
now, after the final decision OF the
Company not to accept the fiat rate,
he could not do anything more in
the matter further than to report the
result OF the conference to the Dis
trict. County and local unions.
Mr.. Wictzer in concluding stated
that the Company knew positively
that the terms of the contract were
fair and that he thought the growers
must realize this also.s He regretted
to have the acreage reduced by a
pledge of the growers or otherwise,
and the Company would prefer to
work smaller tonnage of bcets and
probably operate only one or two of
its factories rather than to perma-
nently cripple the industry by adopt
ing the wrong principle
With this the conference ended and
the committee that evening reported
to the Rocky Ford Farmers Union
the non-succcss of their effort to Sc
cure the adoption of the S. fiat rate
contract. 1t is likely that no further
steps will be taken until the state
convention OF the Farmers Educa-
tional and COOPERATIVE Union, in

ELECTION JUDGES CHOSEN.
City Council Holds Nightly Meet
ings to Dispose of Business.

We're it not for the fact that the city
council has taken cognizance of the com.
ing municipal election we question wheth-
er there would be any movement in city
politics. and there is likely to be little in
terest in the coming city election, as no
one appears to have anv grievance or an
AK of any kind to grind.
At the regular meetiny of the city
council on Tuesday nigh, the following
judges were chosen and noling places
designated:
First Ward-Judges, J.H Burr. Ford J..
Steward and U. S. Ringer: voting place
2io Swink Avenue.

Third Ward-Judges,W W .H.H. :kox, T. J.
Hill and G. P. Randall. voting place, ,Pso-
Piles Mission. South Main Stree.
The regular grist of bills was allowed
at this meeting OF the council and build
ing permits were granted to J. W. Peery
and Mrs. Gerst.
c. J. Cover. representing the commit
tee appointed to investigate the Horse
Greek water proposition. reported to the
council that the company did not appea r
to have anything definite to submit to the
city. and so the water question was again
allowed to drop.
A resolution was offered by Alderman
Sprinkler ano unanimously adopted that
"Whereas. the city lot on Railroad avenue
is d constant source of expense AMI much
too small for any use TO which 1t can be
put for city purposes. that it be offered
for sale at a minimum price Of 81 900;
resolved that at the ensuing regular
municipal election on Tuesday. April 6.
the question Of selling said property be
submitted to I yote..''
It was after midnight when the council
adjourned till Wednesday evening to dis
pose OF several important matters.
The first thing to engage the councils
attention on re-eonvening was the ques-
ton Of taking into the city tract OF laud
lying southwest Of the limits. On motion
the question will bo submitted to a vote
of the people.
a motion was carried that consumers
Of city water outside the limits be oharg-
ed double the rates of water users in
side tho boundary. ---------a---'---
Several questions were discussed but
not being ripe for disposal were laid over
till tomorrow evening. to which time the
council proper adjourned.
The city Board Of Health then held a
meeting and adopted resolution that is
very important to every citizen. mas
much as it is designed to protee. the peo-
pie from recurrence Of anything like a
typhoid fever epidemic. The resolution
instructed Health Officer Baldwin to
have every cistern in the city disinfected
the cost Of same from the property owner
or user of cistern.

A JOYFUL PASTNIE.
It's Really a Pleasure to Cure Ca
tarrh by Breathing Hyomei.

1t isn't a pleasure to saturate your
stomach with vile nostrums or to
shock the tender membrane of the
nose and throat with disagreeable
sprays and douches.
But strange to say, there are a few
thousand people who do not keep
abreast of the times who are hoping
against hope that these ancient meth
ods will rid them Of catarrh.
If the readers of Pendleton who
suffer from catarrh want to Danish
this vile and disgusting disease for
ever, go to Tallman & Co.'S today and
get a complete Hyomei pronounced
High-o-me )outfit for 81,
If it doesn't cure it won't cost you
a cent because Tallman & Co. will
give you your money back.
Hyomei Is so simple and pleasant
to use; pour few drops from the bot
tie into the inhaler and breathe 1t in.
AS it passes over the membrane and
into the lungs with the air you
breathe it soothes the raw membrane
and kills the catarrh germs. Don't ex-
pertinent longer. Leading druggists
sell Hyomei for catarrh, coughs, colds,
bronchitis, etc. Drop a postal for
